The Subsidy Bill.

The Indianapolis News says: "It
may be dangerous to assume that there
is no chance of passing the ship sub
sidy bill through the house or to infer
from the entapparent indifference
to the scheme that there is no dispo-
sltion to push it, Both these conclu-
sions may be right, and we trust they
are. At the same time the safer plan
is to keep up the fire on the bill, and
to make congressman understand that
the people are against it,"
Undoubtedly many republican mem.
bers Of the house would. be. quite will
ing to pass the ship subsidy bill, but
the News need lose no sleep for fear
that this bill will pass the house prior
to the congressional elections. The
members Of congress already under
stand the temper OF the people and
they are very likely to postpone the
accomplishment OF this infamous
scheme.
After the elections, however, it may
be depended upon that the republican
congress will, at the very first oppor-
tunity, make serious effort to push
this measure through.
In the congressional elections repub-
lican candidates will avoid this CUES
tion and in the event of their election
they will interpret the result as vim
dication of the subsidy bill, even
though they will not have dared to
defend the measure. Omaha World

Itisa good plan TO have heifers drop
their first calf at about two years old.
Good corn silage is highly relished
by stock, and is an economical food
for fattening steers.
Pulp roots or mangels, carrots. sugar
beets and the Ike should form part
of each days winter feed.
Weed out the poor cows, sheep and
fowls They are source Of loss con-
tinually, and good for nothing when
spring comes.
A ration of three parts of corn enM-
lage, by weight, with one part Of oats
straw, is adapted to maintain health
in the animal.
The temperature Of the stable has
much to do with the fattening Of the
beef animal OF the quantity Of milk
from mich COW.
If the heifer IL to freshen in the

How to Prevent Ruaavsx..

The man who wants to be sure Of
having q safe driving horse will do all
in his power to prevent that horse
from ever getting beyond control. If
the horse gets to run away once he is
liable to be an unsafe animal ever
afterward. 1t is tribute to the good
disposition and good sense OF the
horse that more of them are not
ruined by carelessness. Unsafe har-
ness, neglect to fasten properly, care
less of reckless driving, constant nag
ging until the horse is nervous, or the
infection of pain in biting or refining
are common with young horses being
broken to drive. 1t is a wonder that
there are not more runaways than
now rded.-Natiopal Stoekuan.

Hints on Wintering Ewes,

I do not think it advisable to keep the
ewes too much confined. Ialwaysper-
NIT mine to run on the pasture during
the day time, when the weather Is
suitable, and when they can get at
the grass. At the same time I feed
them some corn fodder. At night also.
II the weather is mild, ! leave the doors
of the barn open, SO they can go ont
and IN at will. As to feed, always
give them all the clover hay they will
eat up clean. For 100 head Of sheep
the grain feed consists OF two bushels
of oats and corn, mixed in the propor-
tion Of one-third corn and two-thirds
oats.-John a. Hem, in Farmers Re.

Lightning and the Lightning Belt

II reason or statistics could sooth
those who suffer from nervousness
during heavy thunderstorms they
might be urged toread a recent wealth
or bureau report on the mortality by
lightning in this country. But the
consciousness of the stupendous and
uncomfortable nature of storm, the
sublimity Of the forces which are let
Loose upon the earth, and perhaps the
electric condition of the atmosphere,
seem to have combined psychologist
cal and physiological effect which is
beyond the reach of reason. An aver
age of from 700 to 800 killed per annum
In population of nearly 100000
does not indicate any great danger.
Almost all of the diseases that find a
place in the reports of health depart
ments claim larger number of vic
Tins. Yet all combined do not pro-
duce tenth Of the abject terror that
one good thunderstorm produces in a
few minutes.
In 1900 the number of peesons killed

dent. The mortality among those
seeking shelter under trees is by the
same process of reasoning probably
very high. Nor is the barn very

The statistics also show that there
Is much less dangar in cities than ia
the country. Compare lively few thun-
derbolts fall on large cities, fact
which is accounted for by the large
quantity of metallic roofing, steel
frames and wires which relieve the
electric tension and carry the electric

charged atmosphere to the earth. The
more quickly storm arises the more
likelihood there is Of destructive bolts
as the iron and steel have less time in
which to do their work.

News was received at North Yakima
Wednesday, of an accident to a 10.
year.old son OF r. Langevin, rancher.
The lad, with another child, was play.
ing with a. bulldog belonging TO q
neighbor. The animal became en-.
ragged at something and seized the boy
by the calf of the leg. The father
came TO the boys assistance and tried
to pry the jaws of the animal open.
Finding this barren of results, with
the dog chewing the boys flesh, the
father got a hammer and beat the
dogs head until it was unconscious.
Rude instruments, like scissors, were
used to dress the boys decorations, and
part of the calf had to be cut away.
While this surgical operation was in
progress the animal regained con.
seriousness. The hammer was again
called into requisitiOn until the dog
was dead. The boy will probably be a
cripple for life.
