SCHOOL AND RACE QUESTION.
The race question brought many
woes to our country. Calm wisdom of
American people should see to it that
it brings no more. TO revive the dread
and hateful race and sectional animos-
tiles in any part OF our common coun-
try means confusion, distraction of
business and the reopening of wounds
now happily, healed. North, South,
East and West have recently stood
together in line of battle from the
walls OF Pekin to the hill of Santiago,
and, as sharers Of a common glory and
common destiny, we should share
fraternally the common burdens.
We therefore deprecate and condemn
the bourbonlike, selfish and narrow
spirit of the recent Republican Con-
vention at Chicago, which sought to
kindle anew q racial and factional
strife, and we appeal to the sober com.
mon sense and patriotic spirit Of the
American people.
| THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
The existing Republican Admins
tration has been spasmodic, spectacu-
lar and arbitrary. 1t has made itself
a satire upon the Congress, the courts
and upon the settled practices and
ussges of national and international
law. 1t summoned the Congress into
hasty and futile extra session and vir-
tually adjourned it leaving behind its
flight from Washington uncalled cal
endars and unaccomplished tasks.
II made war, which is the sole power
of Congress, without its authority,
thereby usurping its fundamental pre-
negatives. l. violated a statute of the
United States, as well as plain treaty
obligations, international usages and
constitutional law; and has done so
under pretense OF executing a great
public policy which could have been
more easily effected lawfully, constitu-
tionally and with honor.
1t forced strained and unnatural
constructions upon statutes, usurping
judicial Interpretation and substitute
ing Congressional enactments.
1t withdrew from Congress its Gus.
tomary duty of investigation, which
have heretofore made the representa-.
tives of the people and states the ter
ror of evildoers. 1t conducted a secre-
tive investigation of its own, and
boosted of few sample convicts. while
it threw a broad coverlet over the bu.
reaus which had been their chosen
field OF operative abuses, and kept in
power the superior officers under whose
administration the crimes had been
committed.
1t ordered assault upon some monop-
olies. but, paralyzed by its first victory,
1t flung out the flag of truce and de-
clared it would not "run amuck,"
leaving its future purposes beclouded
by its vacillations.
APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
Conducting the campaign upon this
declaration of our principles and pur-
poses, We invoke for our candidates the
support, not only CT our great and
time -honored organization, but also
the active assistance OF all our fellow
citizens, who. disregarding past differ
eDces upon questions no longer in

Constitutional Government, and as
framed and established by the fathers

Leaf spot of the Currant.

The fungi causing leaf spot of cur
rant and gooseberry are common and
destructive to the foliage. Affected
leaves at first show small brownish
spots during June or July, and by Au-
gust the foliage begins to drop. 1t is
not unusual to see bushes entirely de-
foIiated by this disease long before
frosts Thus the plants are prevented
from making complete growth or of
properly perfecting the fruit buds. The
spores of these diseases are produced
on the dead portions of the diseased
leaves, on which the fungi also hiber-
nate.
1t has been found possible to reduce
the attacks Of these fungi to a great
extent by the use of fungicides, APP
piled at intervals of two or three
weeks during the growing season, the
first application to be made early in
June Even two or three applications
will materially reduce this trouble.
The spray used early in the season,
while the fruit is on, should be one of
the clear mixtures, so as to avoid stain
ing the berries. After harvest bor-
deaux mixture may be substituted.

WHAT is THE GRANGE?

Question That Should Need No
Answer.
With 100000 members in the United
States, it would seem altogether I'M
necessary to ask or answer the above
question. But this paper may come
under the eye of some one who is not
familiar with the aims and principles
of our Order. 1t is an organization of
farmers for their mutual welfare
Among the specific objects named in
its declaration of purposes are these:
To develop a better and higher man
hood and womanhood among ourselves;
to enhance the comforts and attrac-
tons of our homes; to further cooper
alton; to buy less and produce more in
order to make our farms self sustain
ing; to bring producers and consumers,
farmers and manufacturers, into the
most direct and friendly relations pos
sible. The grange is nonpartisan, yet
it's principles underlie all true politics
and craftsmanship. 1t believes in CO.
operating together in every legitimate
manner for their own protection and to
enhance their mutual interests.
The Order is called the Patrons of
Husbandry. and the head of the ma
tional grange is Hon. Aaron Jones of
South Bend Ind. Twenty EIGHT states
have state organizations. Below them
are the county organizations, called
Pomona oranges. and below these are
the numerous subordinate oranges.
Meetings of these subordinate oranges
are held once a month or oftener,
where subjects pertaining to the farm
ers' interests, social, educational and
agricultural, are discussed. Women
are on an eqr:giity with men in the
grange, and to them not a little of the
wonderful success of the organization
is due. Its purpose may be stated in a
word to be: To uplift the farmer NOR
ally, socially, Intentionally and mate
rally.

skim MIX For Calves.

The creamery and skim station sys-
tens have been the cause of much trou-
bic with sour milk. Where the milk is
hauled several miles in the hot sun,
warmed to the proper temperature for
separating and then sent home at just
the right temperature to sour most rap
idly, it results in the milk being sour
much of the time when received by
the owners, especially during the hot
weather. This has been one common
reason for poor success in raising
calves, even where the creamery sys-
TEN is fairly well developed. Missouri

THE CREAM SEPARATOR.
Reasons why 1t should he Used ON
the Farm.

Reasons Why III Should BE Used ON
the Farm.
There are many reasons why the sep
aration of the cream froW. the milk
should be done on the farm, at the
source of production, says w. f. Nc
Spartan in Dairy and Creamery.
| know Of no way of improving the
COW contingent but by the liberal and
wise feeding Of it year in and year
out, and after this has been done long
enough to ascertain the capacity of
each individual go to wedding out. The
rejected ones should be replaced by
well bred heifers raised on the farm
and always fed as good cows should
be enough Intermittent good
feeding is not enough to make good
cows on.
Now, in this best feeding Of the dairy
COW as calf there has nothing yet
been discovered that approaches sweet,
warm skim milk in the ration, and to
get it so it becomes absolutely neces-
sary to have the separation of the
cream from the milk done on the farm.
A safe estimate of the value of such
milk over that of the skim milk receiv
ed from the average creamery is so per
cent and for feeding young, delicate
animals 100 per cent.
At the creamery the skim milk from
all the herds of all the patrons comes
together. Some is naturally low in
feeding value, some high, and all
grades fill in between. Some Of it is
clean, some dirty and some dirtier, and
some may have another ID added to
it's dirtiness. This composite milk,
even if it were all equally clean and
equally fresh, could not be uniform in
food constituents.
By the use of the farm separator the
skim milk will be uniform in its solids
after the fat is removed.
Milk changes rapidly, and there are
some young stomachs SO delicate that
changes in this food are recorded at
once. BY fermentation the milk sugar.
one of the most valuable nutrients
changes rapidly to acid, which fire.
quently does not agree with the diges-
ton of young animals, and, while there
are generally calves so robust and
thrifty that after they are accustomed
to drinking sour milk and can do so
without bowel disturbance or stomach
disorder, yet every experienced and
observant feeder knows that even this
hardy calf viii do better if fed its milk
uniformly sweet and warm.

body that will stand for good

VILE co-operation Pays.

Worthy Master sGaunt of the New

In this state the value of cooperative
effort has been thoroughly demonstrate
ed, particularly in the matter of fire
insurance. In the purchase of fertil-
izers the Patrons Of some counties are
saving thousands of dollars annually,
and yet cooperation is not what it
should be- II farm supplies could be
ordered in several hundred ton lots, as
in fertilizers, feed, etc, it would be
much to the farmers advantage.

Things to Remember.
Don't forget to whitewash the stable
once a year at least. to clean it several
times a year by removing all trash and
dirt. Brush down the cobwebs and
accumulated dust
Remember to keep the cows clean,
not allow them to wade through
sloughs of black mud or liquid manure
to give them clean drinking water and
not allow the barnyard to become a
mudhole; also to provide clean bed
ding and stop that exceedingly filthy
habit of wetting the teats with little
milk before milking.
Salt Cows Daily.
Cows should be sailed regularly or,
better still, should have constant ac-
cess to salt. says Or. G. T.. Newell.
The practice of sailing them once a
week is not good one. as the most of
cattle will lick little salt every day II
they can get it. Thus provided they
will yield more and better milk than
otherwise and viii also maintain bet
ter degree OF health. As salt provokes
thirst, the milk animal should have as
free access to water as to the saline
mineral, or the latter will do her more
harm than COED
