Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov
4th.-Capt. A. II. Bogardus, the cham
plon wing shot of the world, has
spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one of the. features
of the Park during the season. lie

Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed into Bright's Dis

this was incurable and that he would
never get better
TO say that he was alarmed is tc

lad faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such q
cruel foe.
At last he heard of medicine that
had cured many such cases,-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. lie used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:-"I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills

An Indiana Mail Tree.

che inhabitants of the village of
Chetwynd and others near by have
unique way of receiving and send
ing mail. Recently orders were re.
,sived to discontinue the post Office
at Chetwynd because of rural mail
delivery passing within half mile
Of that place, and so large elm tree
at the crossroads was utilized and
made to serve as post Office. There
are II boxes attached to the tree, be-
sides the government mail box, which
Is used solely for money orders, regis
tered letters, etc. Chetwynd gets all
Of its mail in a large box on the left
Of the tree, and full 100 people receive
mail at this tree. The elm is a mag
nfcent specimen Of its kind, rising

The value of Good Blood.

Those who are lacking in respect for
pedigree should study the perform
ances of the trotters during the sea-
son now closing. Their deeds and
their breeding are known and easily
studied by anyone who is in search ct
light on the breeding problem. Not a
single successful young trotter has ap-
peared this year that is without ped
igree which would justify expectations
of creditable performance. If blood
foes not count for much why do not
some of the short-bred or cross-bred
horses come out and capture the big
stakes? There can be but one answer,
and that is the adage BLOOD will tell"
ID will tell in ell classes Of live stock
just the same, but it is not so easily
demonstrated everywhere az on the

CORN FODDER RACK.

the more as it is so easy to fill; it
will retain the stalks perfectly, al
lowing the cattle to strip off the
leaves, corn and tender edible por-
tions. The undevoured parts can then
be cleaned out before filing anew,
and the useless stalks piled up for
hauling away or mixed with the
manure heap.
The rack should be built against
the fence, so that the filing can be
done from the outside and from the
wagon; and it is necessary to have
the outside only high enough to re-
tain the fodder.
The frame of this manger should be
made of two by tours, and the rack
of four-inch fencing lumber, with the
Stats about four inches apart. To guard
against waste, the bottom should, of
course, be foored, and the whole sur
rounded by six-inch board Such a
rack can be extended any length, ac-
cording to the number of cattle to be
fed.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.

SOUR CREAM TESTS.
Acidity In Ever So Small n Propor-
ton May Injure an Entire
Lot of Butter.

1t is not an uncommon practice for
creamery patrons who own hand sep.
arators to deliver their cream but once
in two to four days, or for creameries
practicing the cream gathering sys-
TEN to collect but two or three times
week The cream which thus accum-
ulates is often kept without attempt
at cooling, and becomes more or less
sour. 1t is well understood that cream
which has partly soured in the hands
of the producer is less apt to make
high grade of butter than is a cream
which is kept cold and reaches the fac
tory in sweet condition. The pro-
Queer, however, frequently argues that
it does not make any particular differ
ence to his pocketbook whether the
cream sours or not.
The Vermont experiment station
officers say that there is not only
chance that the sour cream may injure
the entire lot of butter, but there is
almost certain to be direct financial
loss to the dairyman in another way.
1t is difficult and almost impossible
TO sample sour cream accurately, and
IT is difficult for the creamery receiv-
ing 1t to test it properly Gas bubbles
and increased viscosity or gumminess
are at the bottom of the trouble. The
error of samping and testing will nine
times out of ten be in the direction of
a low result. In other words, the
creamery patron who keeps and deliv-
ers his cream in a sweet condition will
ordinarily get higher test and a
larger check than he who allows his
cream to sour, even though both
creams be really of exactly the same
grade. The chances are always in
favor of an inaccurate test. It is
doubtful whether it is wise to urge a
creamery to make any special efforts
to test sour cream properly. 1t ought
not in the first place to receive 1t, and,
in the second place, If the patrons can.
not see how much il is to their inter-
ests. as well as to the interests of the
creamery, to keep the cream sweet.
an indirect fine may be laid upon them
in this way by giving them the low test
which sour cream is likely to receive

Unshredded corn fodder is bad
material to feed under the best Of
conditions, not only because of the
difficulty in handling it, but also on
account of the part of the stalks that
the cattle will not eat. These, ac-

Point out the needs and difficulties of
the situation and leave the bulk of re-
sponsibility to congress.
The latest news bearing on the effect
of our new policy against reciprocity is
the information, which seems to be well
authenticated, that Brazil has made an
arrangement with Argentina by which
flour from that country is to enter Brazil
for so cents less a barrel than the Amer.
lean product This report has stirred up
shippers in this country to such an ex-
tent that they are talking of retaliatory
measures directed against Brazilian cof-
fee, of which we have in the last niue
months imported $33, 595, 159 worth, free OF
any duty. 1t is even proposed to put a
duty on bananas which we get from the
states Of Central America and the West
indies and which have amounted in value
in the last nine months to IS, 500, 973
The opponents of reciprocity and re-
vision are fertile in arguments against it.
One which will be urged is that any spe-
cia1 reciprocity arrangement with France
Or any other country on the continent
would amount to a di Termination against
Great Britain, which is a free trade ma
ton, and has TO duties to lower in re-
turn for the reduction of ours. So it is
argued England would be compelled to
become tariff nation and impose duties
against us in self-defense
The tariff issue is growing warm 1t is
certain to be threshed over in congress
this winter, and unless the Democratic
leaders are greatly mistaken it will fur
nish an issue for the next election.

FRIENDS of G. H. PARTRIDGE
WILL INSIST ON HIS RECON-
ING A CANDIDATE
HOPED HE WILL NOT REFUSE
Best interests of the City Would BE
Served by His Election-W0uId
Make an Ideal
Executive.

If present plans Of a number of the
leading Democrats of Minneapolis can be
carried through, the next mayor of the
city will be George H. Partridge. There
Is move on foot to get Mr. Partridge
to let his name go before the people for
the office. and strong pressure will be
brought to bear in order that he may be
induced to accept
Mr.. Partridge has repeatedly refused
to allow his name to go before the peo-
pie for any political office. but it is
thought that when the best business ele-
ment of the city, Republicans as well as
Democrats. make their appeal to him, and
prove to him conclusively that it Is for the
best interests of the city that he accede
to their wishes, he no doubt will give the
matter consideration, and it is hoped that
he will no longer refuse to engage in
matters political
Mr.. Partridge is one Of the best known
business men in the city, and has always
been moving spirit in matters of civic
interest. He has the entire confidence
of men in both parties, and would GER
tafnly make an ideal executive. His
election to the Office would be only a
matter of majority; he certainly would
be the strongest man in either party, and
the Republicans would welcome the adj
vent of such a thorough Minneapolis bus
+
No doubt Mr.. Partridge's objection to
accepting the offer will be his large BUSH
ness interests, which demand his entire
time and attention, but it is believed that
1t can be shown conclusively that the of
flee of mayor, when run on business
principles, does not require as much at
tention as has been generally supposed
Mr.. Partridge would stand for law and
order, and while he would not be purf-
tanical in his ideas as to how a city
should be run, still 1t is the belief of
all that great deal of the vice and
law breaking which has been going on
for years, would in great measure be
stopped.
He certainly would go into the office
unhampered by any political promises,
and he would not be compelled to cater
to any set of officials who wished to per-
petuate themselves in office, through
political pull. He would have a free
rein, and could run the city according
to his own ideas, and the citizens at
large would be his supporters.
The Democrats say that 1t is now up
to the people, and if they are urgent
enough in their appeals to have Mr..
Partridge accept the proffer, they will
be able to carry out their plans, and will
give to the city the best mayor they
ever had.
