Mayor Hunt winces under the in
controvertible proof that he was to
blame for the infringement of the AL
len patent at cost of over seven
hundred dollars to the city, and he
has decided to make City Attorney
Blandford the scapegoat for this cost
ly blunder. The city attorney wisely
and properly told the mayor that the
city was up against the real thing at
ter the patent had been infringed and
advised a compromise with Aliens
attorney. thus saving the city the diff
ference between the seven hundred
dollars paid and the twenty-five hun
dred dollars demanded. Biandford
however, had nothing to do with the
infringement of the patent wooden
stave connections, which were made
at Mayor Hunts foundry according
to specifications drawn up by himself

MAINTAIN THE PARTY'S HONOR.

Walla Walla Argus, Dec, %, 1902.
The Argus doesn't understand why
the Union is discussing the railway
commission problem. The state re-
publican convention decided that the
party would stand for the enactment
of a commission bill, and the legisla
tors elect of this c@unty voluntarily
pledged themselves before election to
vote for a commission bill. A promise
is a promise, and The Argus doesn't
want any funny business connected
with the actions of the republican
party Of this county. If the republic
can party of this county deliberately
intends to betray those who cOnfided
in its promises. The Argus will have
none of it.
In spite of this protest against party
perfidy the Argus is now taking its
medicine and declaring that it likes
it. Frank KEGS. one of the republican
representatives from this county, vot-
ed against the commission bill for
which his party platform declared.
although he had stated in an inter-
view published in the Union on his re-
turn from the Tacoma convention that
he was a loyal republican and the
will of the majority of his party was
good enough for him. In spite of Mr.
KEGS reputation of the party plat
form, the Argus is now giving him its
enthusiastic support for chief of pO-
lice. Mr. KEGS worked and voted
against the new gambling law and
has given no pledge that he will en-
force it if elected, yet the Argus man
says that he will stand by Mr.. KEGS
and thereby place him under Obliga-
tions to me. He will want my sup
port another year. but he will not get
it if he pays no attention to the wish
es of representative and order

lively, is done towards good roads
Within the last two decades the roads
within a fifty mile radius of the large
cities have become permanent ma.
cadam or gravel roads. The average
country road, however, is another
thing. 1t is patched up to do fair ser.
vice for the season, and the same pro-
cess goes on season after season.
Nothing really permanent is done.
The usual country road Is a detri-
ment in at least two ways, it makes
the outward progress of the country,
which it is supposed to serve, difficult
and it prevents the ingress of city
people who would gladly spend a part
of their summer among the woods
and hills, who seek the crowded sum-
mer resort, because they will not en-
dure the racking of bones the tanning
of muscles incident to riding over
sand, boulders, over corduroy and
lurching in and out of ruts. Think
over this list of iniquities and see if
you do not know the road where
many or all of these conditions exist.
Good roads will not be made in a day,
nor yet in many days, until the state
bears its share of the expense. Farm
ers cannot or will make these Der.
manent improvements. Pennsylva-
MIA pays two-thirds of the cost of ma
cadam and the other third is raised
by assessments on the districts. Is
there any investment that would pay
any state better than general sys-
tenn of permanent roads ?-Bradford

Fall Care of Stock.

1t is very important now that cows,
and all stock for that matter, receive
special care. There is nothing that will
so quickly decrease the flow of milk and
cause shrinkage of flesh as exposure OF
cold rains or cold nights. Cows will
maintain better flow if housed nights
during autumn. And during a rainy
day they should at once be put into their
stalls, bedded so they are comfortable
when lying down, and for time should
receive feed at midday, since they have
been accustomed to eating during the
day while at pasture. Later on, when
regular feeding is done, two feeds day
will answer quite as well.
When the weather is such that they
will be comfortable in the yard or field
during the day, the noon feed may be
given outside. And this is good time
of year to feed some fodder corn, pump.
kins, squashes, cabbage or roots, scatter,
ing them in paddock or pasture so each
animal can get its share. If the cows
are not dehorned there will be one OF
more individuals in the herd that will
spend the greater portion of their time
hooking and worrying the other mem
bers of the herd. If animals are dehorn-
ed these annoying things will be done
away with.
1t is not possible to give methods OF
procedure with a dairy herd that will
answer for all, because conditions vary,
but few essentials in maintaining a
normal flow should be borne in mind
by all. Each animal should be kept
comfortable and contented. This re-
quires kindness and regularity in all
things, ample feed and good quarters.
If the cow-keeper fails in any of these
he pays the penalty in decreased re.
ceiptS. With common cows the receipts
are moderate even with good care, and
it is because of this that farmers
are so often urged to keep better cows.

The Poultry Yard.

If roots and ensilage improve the
health of animals, and cheaper the cost
of the food, they will do the same for
the fowls. 1t is too expensive to feed
grain exclusively, when the winters are
too long and severe, and as the hens pre-
fer a variety they should have it. A
quart of corn meal added to half a peck
of cooked turnips will provide a better
meal than can be procured from either
the corn meal or the turnips if either one
is fed alone. 1t is the mixed food, the
combination of various elements, that
enables the hen to provide the different
substances that make up the article de-
nominated an egg. Lime, phosphates,
nitrogen, magnesia, and even water, are
elements that are absolutely essential,
and many foods contain an excess of
some kinds and deficiency of others.
When a mixed food is given there is a
partial balancing of the needed elements,
and the several varieties assist in digest
ing each other, thus avoiding the waste
of undigested food. Finely chopped
ensilage, or clover, potatoes, carrots,
turnips, or any succulent, bulky food,
served with an admixture of variety OF
ground grain, will provide the hens
with larger supply of egg elements, and
entail less cost for food, than when the
hens are compelled to subsist entirely ON
grain.

The Corn Crop of the Country.

The measure of the corn crop of the
country at large has all the season
through been very uncertain problem.
The crop has been late and being in that
condition was subject to destruction or
damage by frost, according to the time
and severity of such contingent. For
tunately for growers and the country
the late months of the crop season have
been favorable, general frosts have been
delayed, and large if not bountiful
crop of this greatest of all cereals has
been safely carried to harvest. This is
very gratifying since at the middle OF
August it seemed, as was stated in our
columns, impossible that other than an
extremely light crop was possible.
The best authorities, now that the
growing season is over, estimate that
the crop proves larger than last year
and insures an abundant supply for all
purposes. Good judges who claim to
understand the situation at the present
time are reported as looking for lower
prices of corn in the near future, and
with it drop in the value of meat on
the hoof. As rule, the value of cattle
hogs and sheep goes up or down accord
ing to the price Of corn. Maine farmers
may well study these matters closely
