phreys, land is upheld, it will result in
indescribable chaos. If there is diff
ference between judges and courts, the
acts of Circuit Judges in chambers are
null and void If the contention is
sound there are no district magistrates,
and no equity power in Circuit Judges.
The term justices includes any person
who might become a legally qualified
member of the Supreme Court; If this
view is not correct, then L contend the
justices, as such, constitute an inferior
court created by the legislature. The
attorney general says no one dreamed
of my contention in regard to the bail
iff act. / think l made it pretty clear
that it did carry with it an appropria-
ton. 1 never knew until ten or fifteen
days ago that the bailiffs had been
paid out of this appropriation, and 1
Immediately raised the question:
Judge Humphreys cited as parallel
case the organic act which did not spe-
city the number of judges nor the
amount of the appropriation, yet the
third judge was paid from the funds
in the hands of the attorney general.
He said further that he had signed the
draft upon the expense appropriation
without noticing that it was such, and
claimed that the Supreme Court was
not, therefore, bound, it being the act
of an inferior court, and no acknowl-
edgrnent of the validity of the payment.
In reply to a question from Mr.. Smith,
Humphreys said that the salary act re-
pealed the appropriation in the bailiff
act for the Supreme Court baIliff. AS
to who drew upon the general appro-
pria ton, Judge Humphreys replied that
all judges took from it at will. Before,
the chief justice had regulated the ex-
penditures Auditor Austin also pro-
duced warrants drawn by him on the
expense fund in which the judges had
themselves drawn against that account.
The matter was submitted and a de-
cision will be given within a few days.

The oldest Force storage.
The water wheel is probably the old.
est method OF obtaining mechanical
force apart from the employment of
animal force. These wheels were no
doubt at first worked by flowing river
and then by falling stream. and 1t
would not be very great advance on
this method to dam back the stream

force even In times of drought. Such
storing Of water Mt sufficiently high
level is the simplest and even Mt the

ranged, the loss by evaporation and
leakage is small and may be partly or
wholly replaced by rain, SO the force Is

lny force and was for them the only

A certain Boston hotel man tells this
good story at his own expense:
When a small boy on the farm. his
folks often sent him to the nelghbors
to buy a dozen eggs when their hens
failed to lay enough.
He noticed that the old farmer al
ways held each egg before a lighted
candle and examined 1t carefully. In
his Innocence Of Yankee shrewdness
the boy supposed that this was prompt
ed more by honesty and intention to
detect whether the eggs were bad or
not.
one day, however, when he counted
his eggs. According to custom, there
were only eleven IN the basket
with determination not to be cheat
ed, the lad trudged proudly back to the
house and quickly made known his
discovery.
"oh," said the old farmer, that's all
right. my boy. One OF them has dou-
bic yolk. Boston Record.

A BOVINE EVANGELIST.

He lived in a scrub community, nice
people enough-honest, industrious and
all that-but way back ON modern
methods of farming, prone to follow
grandfathers way and stick to old
precedentS and customs. One man in
the community by some chance attend
ed state fair, where for the first time
in his life he saw herds of fine blooded
stock, and this set him to thinking.
and the result of his thinking was that
he slipped off one day and bought a
Shorthorn bull. for which he paid $3.50.
The bringing of this animal into the
community created great sensation.
His wife called him a fool. and his
boys said he needed a guardian, and
all the neighbors. who considered $50 a
big lot of money for an animal Of the
sort, said he was headed for the insane
asylum. The results were that that
bull worked reformation in that COM
munity. reconstructed all the prevail
ing notions about stock and placed
hundreds of dollars in the pockets Of
the scoffers and unbelievers. There is
no more scrub stock raised in that
community.

A PROBLEM FOR INVENTORS.

The attention of the people at large
has been very sharply drawn to the
question of fuel supply as a result Of
the late strike among the hard coal
miners. Not only has the price of hard
coal been greatly advanced, but the
prices of both soft coal and wood have
advanced also. As result the atten-
ton Of the country has been diverted to
other possible fuel supplies. 1t has al
ways seemed to us that there was one
source Of supply which might be made
available which has never been util-
lied, and that is the mechanical CONVEX
sion~of the surplus straw and corn
stalks Of the farms into a blocked fuel.
Surely some practical machine could be
invented which would shred and COM
press this material into suitable block
form for use as fuel, and this, too, at a
low price. All through the north and
west there are millions of tons of corn
stalks and flax. wheat and cat straw
wasted each year, enough on nearly ev-
cry farm to furnish an ample fuel sup
ply for the farm home. Here Is prob
lem well worth the attention of our
most ingenious inventors.

BUYING MEATS.

We have had good many years ex-
perience in the matter of buying the
meat supplies for good sized family.
We have found out few things which
may possibly be of benefit to our read
ers. The porterhouse steak, the loin
cuts and chops of pork, veal or mutton
are the most expensive meats to buy.
These cuts carry with them the great
est per cent of waste. A fore shoulder of
mutton, veal brisket, also the brisket
of beef, the shanks of both veal, pork,
ham and beef, all of which are low
priced meats, are, when properly ham
died by an experienced cook, just as
nutritious and palatable at less than
half the cost of the fancy cuts. The
fact is that the frying pan is the most
expensive utensil there is to be found
in any home, for where it is so gener-
ally used only the best cuts of meats
are adapted to it, while the lower
priced cuts of meat when boiled,
stewed, roasted or baked furnish a
meat ration at much lower prices
There Is much that women should
know, but do not, on this line. The
knowledge Of how to properly cook the
lower priced meats should be part Of
the education Of every woman who ex-
poets to care and cook for family.

CORN AND HOG CHOLERA,

1t would be worth millions of dollars
to the hog raisers of the country to
really know beyond any reasonable
doubt whether high priced corn is in
any way associated with immunity
from hog cholera; whether corn as a
hog food, and often almost the sole
food, is responsible for the disease. 1t
has now happened twice within our
recollection that in years when corn
has gone to 60 cents and over the coun-
try has been almost free from hog dis
ease, and we also recall that when corn
has been very cheap, 10 cents bushel,
the hogs have died by the million.
There is enough of coincidence in these
matters tdN Justify investigation, espe-
cially when it is considered that we
well know that corn is very poorly
balanced ration. While pork can prob
ably be made more cheapy on corn
than on any other product. it by no
means follows that it is the best food
for the pig. We are more and more
convinced that if we would raise our
pigs upon other foods largely-oats,
glover, rye, barley, peas-and simply
finish them Off with corn, a great step
forward would have been taken in
averting the cholera. xr.

STRENGTH FROM Food.
All physical strength must come from
food after it has been received into the
stomach and properly digested and
assimilated. Medicine cannot make
strength. There 10 only one source of
strength and that is food converted into
nutrition. There are two chief causes
of physics weakness One insufficient
food, the other the inability of the stom-
ach and its allied organs to digest and
assimilate the food eaten. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is not offered
as a substitute for food, but as medicine
which enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and so gives the body
the strength which comesfrom food alone.
When tie weak stomach is made
strong again by the use of "Golden Med
ical Discovery" the food it receives is
perfectly digested and assimilated, and
the body in all its parts and organs Is
restored to strength with the stomach.
The lost flesh is regained and the body
is built up with sound, solid flesh instead
of flabby fat.
But as the body is but name for the
sum OF its organs and members, so

Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an

THE WEAK SPOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger than his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishmentl From the
stomach. Where is the nourishment
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All are nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
stomach and in time the heart stops beat
ing. We must eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
man that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem 10 understand is that starva-
ton Is Just as sure when the man is fed,

DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERAcY.
There is certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the body is only general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
are involved in the same weakness. f"

allied organs are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.

to turn such cattle into these fields of
corn and let them eat as much as they
want at the start We should say II Is
not Such course would be almost
sure 20 make the cattle sick. even if it
did not kill some of them. The right
way would be to get them on to this
sort of feed gradually, letting them in
to the field but for short time at first
and gradually working them onto full
feed. taking week or ten days in
which to do ii. This plan of disposing
of this immature crop is every way the
most economical which can be adopted,
