The small majority Of 1900 out OF
a registered majority Of 5000 in
Louisville, bears out the charge
that thousands Of Republicans reg
lstered as Democrats for the pur-
pose Of voting in the proposed Dem
ocratic primary for the weakest
candidate for Governor next year.
AS the registration books are the
basis OF qualification, there is no
way to prevent this fraud, nor is
there any way to admit the thous-
auds of unregistered Democratic
votes. In Hopkinsville alone 800
Democrats could not vote IN a pri-
mary to nominate a state ticket.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutlonal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbllng sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by CatarIh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of Deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

bining to compel farmers and others
to pay high prices for things they
may need, and of which these com
binations are the only sellers, be-
cause they have destroyed competi-
ton. To met these adverse condi-
tions it will become necessary to do
still better farming in the future. We
farm too much land, spreading work
thinly over 100 acres that should be
given to so acres or less. Even in old
Ireland the average crops of grain,
potatoes, ETC., are far better than the
average on our best soils. It is thus
all over Europe. This country is cap
able of producing twice as much as it
now does Of agricultural products.
This is proven by the well-known fact
that occasionally we find farmer
who grows more than twice the gen.
eral average of any crop he cult
Yates. But the question obtrudes it.
self-who will benefit by better farm
ing? And the answer is, the same
parties who are benefited by the pres
ent better farming than that of some
years ago-frst, the farmer will be
enabled to live better, because the
mental effort necessary to make him
a better farmer will enable him to
conceive and realize higher ideals;
second, the same financial blood-suck-
ers will have progressed as much as
farmers, and will still control prices
affecting producers whether buying
or selling. If farmers will take lit
tie more active and intelligent inter-
est in political matters, and see to it
that honest and competent men are
put in Office, SO that just laws may be
enacted, and then rigidly enforced, so
that every man may have an equal
chance with every other man, abuses
of this sort can be stopped. AS long
as farmers vote for county-seat law
yers for the legislature, and big city
lawyers for congress, we may expect
the interests of agriculture to be neg
lected by the state, and the great
combinations to be fostered by the

The Average Crop Doesn't Pay.

The average yield of corn per acre
in the United States is 25 bushels, and
the average value eight dollars, from
which the cost of making and gather
ing the crop must be deducted to find
the profit. We have made the neces-
sary estimates and deduction and
have failed to find the profit. The
fact is there is not a cent of profit
in an average crop of corn nor an, av-
erage crop of anything else. Average
crops don't pay, and average farmers
don't pay either, for they have moth
ing to pay with, unless they get it by
''robbing Peter" It is far better to
plant some other crop ON any land
that will not yield more than an av-
erage crop of corn. 1t would be worth
much more in prairie grass,and would
require no cultivation. But often the
cultivation is as much to blame for
average corn crops as the land. In
that case it is the farmers and not
the FARMS fault.-Farm and Ranch.

EMPIRE BUILDING.

comes More Evident Every
Day.

In the business of empire-building
the Importance offs athletic sports is
more than evident, says John Corbin
in the Atlantic. There is saying that
the English colonist plays cricket.
drinks Scotch whisky and fourishes
in numbers, while the French colonist
drinks absinthe and dies of the climate.
And the humanities of sport are no less
important that the discipline. Natives
of India and New Zealand have learned
the delights of polo, football and
cricket while playing with English
colonists; the Egyptian cadets OF
Abasayah have been made sportsmen
by means of contests with teams from
the regiments of occupation. In few
short years a fellow feeling aud a
mutual confidence have arisen that
would otherwise be impossible in gen.
erations. Nowadays Ghoorka meets
Ghoorka in contests of craftsmanship,
Maori meets Maori. Egyptian meets
Egyptian, and all are three partslEng-
lishmen. Quite lately the Boer pris-
oners in Ceylon got up team to play
q British cricket eleven, and ended the
day by singing a song, composed by
one of their number, invoking peace
and good fellowship in South Africa.
Before the general balance in favor of
British sports is wiped away there
must be many decades of commercial
and colonial reverses; and if America
is to enter into lasting competition
with the mother country, it will be
necessary not only to avoid the
faults of British sportsmanship, but
to emulate its virtues.

Raising Hogs Economically.

Every hog raiser should prepare a
pasture for his hogs, and good one,
not just one or two acres for fifty or
more hogs to run on all season. Get q
good, large pasture and plenty of
range, as it is a great profit with lit
tie cost, and it will not pay to keep
hogs in dry lots the year round. They
will not make you much money after
you count up the cost of the feed.
Brood sows should be on grass alone
in the summer after the pigs arc
weaned. This is the way l treat my
sows, and it accounts in part for the
good litters in the spring. The feed
that we use we raise on our farm,
and 1t is mostly corn and oats. This
is what we give our pigs and hogs.
and to our sows we give bran and
shorts while they are sucking pigs,
and they do well on this kind of feed.
With this feed you can develop bone,
muscle and growth. After the pig ii
weaned we give him corn and oats
two-thirds corn, with mixture of
shorts and bran in about equal parts,
with plenty of grass. This causes the
best development and growth. 1 do
not believe it is necessary to buy car
loads of 1inseed meal, hominy hearts
or SO much prepared food of different
kinds to make ones pigs grow if one
is onto his business as feeder. AS
a successful raiser of hogs one must
use judgment in raising his own feed
and preparing it SO that he will get
the best results. This gives the great
est profit, and that is what we are
looking for.-American Swineherd.
