ufacturers of agricultural ard other ma
chinery who are pushing reciprocity"
And yet democrats are claiming
credit for originating the reciprocity
idea, and another chapter of this
same campaign text book denounces
the republicans in congress for fail
ing to pass measure providing for
reciprocity with Cuba. Yet again,
discussing Reciprocity (Which it has
ridiculed) versus free trade (Which it
has lepudiated)," this wonderful
campaign book says:
1.-THE theory of free trade Is that both
seller and buyer are benefited by an ex-
change OF commodities and that, as all are
consumers, the greatest good to the great
est number requires that there be no bar
riers to trade in order that goods may be
as, cheap as possible and the cost of living
reduced to a minimum Free trade would
open our markets to benefit our own
country. 1t Is hospitable, and seeks peace
and goodwill with all nations. Reciprocity
cares nothing for the consumer, and hunts
foreign markets with club. Its stock In
trade Is high tariff, favoritism, discrim-
ination ard retaliation. 1t threatens to slam
our doors In the face Of foreign countries
which will not open their doors to our
products. Reciprocity is based upon the
same false theories as is protection, and
like protection is a sham and humbug,
and TO most people has been. and will ever
continue to be- a Gelusion and a snare"
If, after reading those extracts.
anyone can tell where the democratic
party as whole is really lat" eco
nomically, he will be able to solve
any p,izzling problem that can be
submitted to him.

BAD FEEDING OF HOGS.
why q Lot Of Pork Is Sold Every year
at an Actual Loss to the
Owners.

In an address to Iowa farmers Will
liam Hester said: A common mistake
is in trying to raise hogs and produce
pork under unfavorable conditions. |
believe thousands of hogs are fat
tened and sold every year at an actual
loss to their owners. This fact. il it
is a fact, is brought about in many
instances by too exclusive corn diet.
A litter of pigs is farrowed: the SOW
is fed on corn; she sadly needs some
thing different to enable her to right
" nourish her large family. but corn
is cheap and handy and she gets corn.
As the weeks go by she becomes fever
ish and restless. catches chickens. per-
haps. if she can get at them. The pigs
are half famished and early begin to
eat. They eat corn. They are un-
thrifty; the sow is dry and is penned
up in a small pen away from the pigs
to fatten on corn. The pigs are look
ing so badly and making sc! little
growth their owners conclude they
must have worms. Quite likely.
Then they get their first change from
corn. and that is copperas, and then
corn again and so on ad infinitum
After tedious while they at length
reach a weight that will admit of mar

Expou.,on I. Pro.perous.

Statistics showing our trade with
the American insular possessions dur
ing the last fiscal year are only now
available, and show very plainly that
trade does follow the flag, the volume
of exports and imports having in
creased notably in each case since the
stars and stripes were hauled up. Our
exports to Porto Rico last year were
valued at $10,719,444 and the imports
at $s,2o7,422. In 1897 the exports
amounted to 81 ,oSs,sss and the imports
to S2,1s1,024. The Hawaiian trade in
1902 was as follows: Exports, $1,000
600 approximately; imports, s24, 7oo,-
420. In 1897 it was: Exports, $4,000.
075; imports, $13,6s7,7o The 1902
trade with the Philippines was: Ex-
ports, $5,261,s6 imports, $6,612,70o
The trade in 1897 was: Exports, $94,-
5o7; imports. $4,3s3,740.
This, it must be remembered, is
really the beginning. The trade with
all the islands should continue to grow
rapidly, and, in the case of the Philip
pines, at much faster rate than dur
ing the last four years. Republican
ism is a synonym of prosperous ex-
pansion.-Troy Times.

NEW CORN FOR FEED.
Experienced stockmen Are OF the
Opinion That II Is Deficient In
Important Elements.

It cannot be said that corn is the
cause of hog cholera. says writer in
Wallace's Farmer, for cholera is a
germ disease. 1t is dangerous prac-
tice, however. to feed new corn free
ly. The difference in the pricejof new
and old corn makes the temptation
great to feed the new.
An exclusive new corn diet is not fit
for brood sows or growing pigs. 1t is
deficient in muscle-forming elements,
and should not be fed to any extent
until the hog is fully matured and it
is necessary to begin the fattening
process. Then there is nothing to
equal corn. Many times what is called
cholera might be called the corn dis
ease. A little corn in hard roasting
ears furnishes a good variety, but IT
fed exclusively it is like throwing
money away.
Pasture is plenty now, and with it
feed oats, damaged wheat, screenings
and other grains until your hogs are
ready to fatten; then feed all the corn
you like, giving oats. wheat or barley
merely as change of diet.

Point. of a Good Feeder.

Every part of the body of an ideal
beef animal shows quality. 1t is this
that tells the farmer whether steer
with a good form will prove profit
able feeder. 1t tells the butcher
whether the animal will kill well.
This is a point that cannot be over
looked and is difficult to describe.
Lack of it shows in coarse, fieshy
head; in a thick, meaty throat and a
rough. uneven shoulder. Coarse,
heavy bones and loose jointed APP
pearance generally will show the un-.
desirable feeder; rough flesh. sites"

The ideal animal handles well. The
flesh is mellow and firm. showing a
proper mixture of fat and lean. The

low and moderately thick, covered
with plentiful growth Of hair. Such
an animal usually weighs 1900 pounds

In war or peace, itseems. the world
cannot get along without Uncle Sam,
says the Indiana State Sentinel. just
at the time when the cessation of hos
tilities in South Africa knocks out the
$25, 600, 900 a year expectation of horses
and mules from American farms for
British military purposes comes the
news of the first cargo of Texas cattle
being shipped for restocking the vast
ed welt, and this is only starter. for
It seems pretty certain that large
part of the $l5.000,Oo0 which England
will appropriate specifically for that
purpose will come here looking for
live stock and farm machinery, not to
mention the untold millions which
England has promised to lend the
Beers at three per cent. Therefore,
those who looked for slump in the
price Of American horses and mules
and beeves at the close OF the war are
likely to be disappointed.

SKATER.

Some army officers who were in Cuba

the other day an anecdote at the expense
Of the commander of that expedition. The
troops with all their paraphernalia Of war
had landed and were awaiting the order to
advance on Santiago. staff officers were
busy carrying out the details for the adj
vance and everywhere there was hurry and
hustle. Shafter was lying in a hammock
in front of his headquarters at Sboney,
while 100 yards down the road the men Of
the signal corps were initiating the war bal
loon preparatory to making the first as
cension. Without warning the ropes which
held it captive parted and the balloon, half
inflated and looking for all the world like
the body and legs of gigantic fat man
started down the road toward Santiago
There was just enough gas in it to keep j.
upright without entirely clearing the ground
and it went bobbing along, up and down,
as though it were walking. A negro soldier
passing along at that moment saw the bal
loon and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Hi, dar! Guess dat mus be de ole man
goin' fur de 'front.'"

gust, 1897, I made an affidavit before
Jacob c. Mann, notary public, stating
nv experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. j had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid Of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered excruciat-
ingly. took every medicine on the
market that ! heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the
results gave to the public in the state

trivances.

The most convenient width for
horse stalls Is five feet from center

ly be six inches in width, which gives
a net width of four feet six inches.
When necessary n narrower stall
may be used, perhaps without seri-
GUS detriment to. the horse. The
main objection is insufficient space
to care for him. Bedding, cleaning
and Harvesting are much more easily
and quickly done when the stall is
roomy. The floor should have an in
cline of two inches, and can safely
be built of cement. covering with
plank until one flooring Of plank has
worn out, when the cement will be
tough and hard. The partitions
should be built without a standard
to support the rear end from floor
to ceiling. This post often used al
ways interferes with the horse when
backing out. When not used, the
horse finds an easy swing of the head
over the partition, which need not
be over four feet high. The par
tition may be strong enough with
out this post. See cut. If AKA
