A fine looking COW offered for sale by
a dairyman always carries a letter OF
discredit, says w. +. McSparrow In
National Stockman. II the unfortunate
dairyman is poor. but honest" he viii
not sell her for q good COW. The law
Is he must fatten her and send her to
the butcher. But the dairyman Is get
ting very far from brains when he
goes into the beef business, and If he
bought her as a dairy COW he is likely
TO feed her 500 worth of corn and sell
her fattened for $50. If he is rich, but
dishonest, it is hard to tell what he
will do. l could only speak from ob-
s~ervation.
Neither does a good COW take poverty
by election. 1t may be forced on her.
She is often not fed enough. She may
have had brains out Of balance TO car
bohydratcs and by good feeding be
brought 20 the position of respectable
ty in the dairy world for WHICH the
Divinity that shapes our ends in
tended her. Surely the greatest pro-
vision OF the dairy law is feed.

er dairyman is not also a breeder, so
that he can add to the dairy law bet

Of raising a two or three year old COW
but it is easier than going out and buy

Some claim a poor dairyman can't af-
ford to raise his cows, but largely
what they eat is never missed. 1t is
like feeding the children that come.
Cleaning the Creamery Churn.
J. Bunting Of Michigan in Creamery
Journal tells how he cleans his churn
as follows: l use a handful Of sal soda
and one of salt, together with two ia
blespoonsful of potash or I've with four
ordinary pals of hot water. l pour
this In the churn and start it going, but
l am always sure to leave the venting
plug out. l run the churn for about
two minutes, draw the water off into
a washtub and use 1t to wash my
strainer, butter ladle, paddle, bricker,
etc. After / have washed my churn
outside and inside with this solution I
pour cod water into 1t and rinse it by
running for about two minutes. After
drawing of the water l sprinkle with
salt.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Ducks and geese need no grain when
they have plenty of grass.
Chicken fatten faster on cooked food
than on raw because it is more easily
digested.
When soft feed is given to either
young or cid fowls, it should never be
thrown on the ground.
When closely confined. the loose grain
fed to fowls should be scattered among
litter of some kind, so that they can
scratch it out.
There Is nothing so bad for the health
and well being of poultry as combining
them in close quarters and preventing
them from taking needed exercise.
One Of the most important items to
insure success In the Matching Of chick
ems in winter is to get the eggs from a
flock OF healthy and vigorous fowls.
There is better health among rowing
fowls because they get the food that Is
best for digestion and get the necessary
grit to help the gizzard do its work.
When necessary to administer medi-
cine by placing 1t in the drinking wa
ter, keep the birds from drink for sew
eral hours. They are then thirsty and
more apt to get q good swallow.

St. Louis Globe-Democart: The
democrats in many of their convent
ions, including Missouri, Ohio,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nova d. and
half a dozen other states. have
Endorsed the Kansas City platform
of 1900, which was a repetition, in
most respects, of the Chicago
platform Of 1896. In some the state
conventions the platform Of 1900 was
rejected. In still theirs it was ignored.
Taking the democrats Of the country
as whole. there is but as much
Of divergence between them on the
silver issue in 1902 as there was
between the Breckenridge and tho
Douglas section of the party at the
Charleston convention Of 1860.
Of course, the party which IS
divided against itself to the extent
that the democracy is divided at the
present time cannot stand. 1t can
not present solid front to its
opponent any whore. A democrat
from Missouri and Ohio is not
received as democrat in New York
or Massachusetts,. The west, in fact
is itself discordant, for in some
of the western states the deliverance
of 1900 is denounced, and in others
the democracy.is so nearly divided
in the middle on it and SO frlgh-
tened at the consequences which
this condition entails that it refuses
to say anything abou it one way
or the other. The democrat OF New
York would get about the same sort
of reception at a roundup of his
party in the west now that a Doug
lass man forty years ago would have
got from William L. Yancey.
All this is interesting to nom
democrats, who, of course, comp ise
a large majority Of the Amerlcn
people, but it is demoralizing and
destructive to the democracy itself
In representative government two
we'll organized and intelligently
and resolutely conducted parties are
essential. There is only ono such
party in the United States. The
democrat today, becuse of the follies
and cowardice Of its leaders, is
discordant and chaotic. If the republ-
lean party needs any check in order
to keep it straight it can not got
this from tho democracy. Nobody
can toll, with any sort of confidence,
how the democracy will stand upon
any issue in 1904. Nobody can tell
how it stands on anything in 1902.

1t would be an excellent j Investment
for any one to keep this remedy
near at hand. The digestive organs
often need laxative tonic to aid
them in their work which every
one makes doubly hard through
carelessness. - Cascarine cleanses
the bowels thoroughly, st rengthens
the stomach, stimulates the liver
and increases the flow of bile.
This results in more of the food
being digested and purer bloed
being produced. Pure blood will
overcome any disease. It tones up
the nerve, make the complexion

Now York Evening Post: The
difficulty of disposing of the treasury
,urplus 80 as to avoid excessive
,tringency in the money market has
.gain raised the question whether
the secretary can lawfully accept,
Tor deposit of public bonds in the
banks, other security than that OF
UnitedsStates bonds. The law says
chat national banks may be made
repositories of public money by
giving satisfactory security ''by the
deposit of United States bonds and
otherwise Obviously the word
land" does not mean ''or''. Any
secretary who should construe the
law in that way would be personally
responsible for any loss which might
occur, and is safe to assume that
no secretary will do SOFAS none. has
ever done in the....past. The word
land" may now be considered dur
ing the civil war, when the law was
first enacted. It was customary then
to take the personal bond Of the
bank officers in addition to the
other security, in order to guard a
possible depreciation Of United
States bonds in the market. That
was the true meaning Of the phra-
seology employed by congress. 1t
has never been changed, and the
secretary of the treasury has no
more authority to change it than
has any clerk in his department.
Congress ought to change the law
even more radically. 1t ought to
authorize tho deposit Of the treasury
surplus in national bank in reserve
cities in his own discretion in
certain proportion to their capital
on condition of their paying inter
est at the same rate which they

There used to be time and it
does not seem so very re mote, when
reason and argument were supposed
to be stirring factors in politics and
religion. A man was expected to
have a reason for the faith that
was in him, and to defend his polit-
ical beliefs with arguments that, to
him at least, were convincing.
Has all this been changed9 Within
the last few days, of instance, we
have had the unusual spectacle #
the Tom johnson circus tent in
Ohio, the Devery barbecue and beer
orgy in New York, the ANNOUNCE
ement of a Republican vaudeville
in Chicago, moving pictures and
free coffee in q church in London
and whist]ing ''stunt'' in q church
in New York. And these represent
only small part Of the e Variety
list.
Why are these things necessary
Are the people in general losing
interest in politics and religon'
Must they, in the things which
NEST concern their comfort andwell-
being here and hereafter, be attrac-
ted by the tawdry devices of the
cheapest theaters and side shows
before they can be persuaded to
listen even for an hour to the orat-
ory of spellbinder and preacherss
All these things are sharp reflect
ion :on our Intelligence. They
involve an assumption on the part
of political leaders and churches
that a large part of the population
does not care to think, that simply
wishes to be amused, that it does
not care either for the welfare of
the country or Of the individual.
The politician justifies his circus
tent and hippodrome campaign On
the ground that it attracts tn Q
coward. The preacher introduces
whistling and other VAUDEVILLE
features for the same reason. This
is the first step. We may expect to
have it followed by the announce
ment that Mr.. So-and-So a candidate
for Congress, will intersperse his
next speech with some wonderful
feats in jugglery, and that the Rev.
What's His Name will preach a
sermon on next Sunday evening
while standing on his head, and
that the c'>oir tenor will sing 1.-THE
Holy City, while hanging by his
toes from the horizontal bar.
