LITTLE MARKETING HINTS.
Shippers Should Study the Conditions
Of Trade Rather Than Depend
on "Luck." q

OF all the practical points in farming
there is not one that has greater claim on
the attention of the raiser of farm prod
ucts than the art of marketing. Many a
farmer puts tons of energy into produce
ing first-class fruits, cereals, or live
stock and when it to putting them
on the market acts with childish judg-
ment that loses him many a fine margin
that he might gain.
There is no better way to practically
illustrate the market feature of farming
than for farmers to visit their markets
a few times each year and see just how
their commission men handle their con-
signments. There are innumerable lit
tie hints a farmer of good judgment can
pick up any time he visits a large pro-
duce or live stock market. He should
study very carefully the best seasons
to market his produce, and when the
market looks favorable should hustle
his consignments in as promptly as pos
sible.
The shipper must bear in mind that
there are a few honest commission men
at least and that being on the ground
from day to day must know the market
better than a man looking at 1t at long
range. AS a rule the seller of live stock
does his best to get the top price, but
he must follow the market. What the
shipper or producer of live stock, vege-
tables or fruit must look out for is to
get what the market wants and when it
is wanted. To illustrate the point l will
tell of a conversation a first-class butch
er had with a seller of cattle.
"Your cattle look all right" said the
butcher, "but | am going slow because
this year all cattle that have had any
grass, kill spongy. We must make an
allowance on that. 1t has been that way
this year"
This is only one phase Of the business
and serves to show that the shipper
must ever keep in mind the exact state
of the trade and to closely follow its
vagaries. Luck frequently aids the ship
per, but good Judgment on market con-
ditions is better than trusting to luck

CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's One Way to Get It.

Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved If they're not afraid to leave it
to a test as in the case Of a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what I suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week I
would have to remain in bed, at other
times l couldn't lie down the pain
would be so great. My life was a tor
ture and ii I went away from home
for a day I always came back more
dead than alive.
"One day | was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that 1t was probably coffee caused it.
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
That's how l CAME to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've lever been without it for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
OF my old troubles. All l did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
Our house was like a drug store for
my husband bought everything he
heard Of to help me without doing
any good but when I began on the
Postum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared. I
have a friend who had an experience
Just like mine and Postum cured her
Just as 1t did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
improved and I am much stronger
than before. I now enjoy delicious
Postum more than / ever did coffee"

Of ali the big, dangerous cats, none
is more unapproachable and more
treacherous than the black panther.
Hailing from the heart of the deepest
African jungle, 1.-THE and supple Of
body, alert and nervous, this stealthy
marauder exceeds in ferocity even a
Bengal tiger. He is the only big feline
that the lion trainer does not venture
to train, and he is the only cat so alb
s~olutely distrustful that he shuns even
the light Of day. Often he will lie all
day long in a dusky corner of his cage,
his yellow slit-eyes shifting and gleam-
ing restlessly. Even the feeding hour,
when pandemonium breaks loose
among the big cages, when hungry
roars and squeals mingle with impa-
tient snarls and impacts of heavy bo-
dies against steel bars, is apt to have
no effect on him. He may lie cycling
his chunk of ray beef shspiciously, and
not venture forth until day has waned
and the last visitor has left, to tear
meat from bones with his long, white
fangs. In fact, so ugly and vicious is
this beast, that , frequently he turns
on this own kind, and in many in
stances it is impossible to cage him,
even with a mate.-A. w. Rolker, in
McClure's.

Grating Out Apple scab.

An Illinois apple grower says: Ithfnh
top-grafting is one Of the most efficient
methods for getting rid of an apple scab,
and | think that this should be knownto
every orchardist. For instance, where
willow twig apples, a favorite fruit,
have been growing year after year until
the scab has become too strong for the
success of the tree, the privilege Of
grating and putting on another variety
Of apple on the old stock should be de-
cidedly better than destroying the Wig
orou growth Of the tree and then lose
some years Of valuable time in growing

Mans Inspiration.

What a variety of ideas and emo
tons in a social way man expresses by
eating. If he wishes to enjoy the So
ciety of his friends he does it amid the
clatter of China and the soraping of
knives and forks. If he wishes to
ray homage to delicate and ethereal
beauty he tops off an evening of mag
nificent drama or rapturous music with
a raid on the products of oven or pot,
without a doubt as to the Importance
OF catering to the stomach as we'll as
to the soul. If he wants to honor a
great event or a great man, he spreads
a board with natures products Of
stream and field and invites his fellow
man to MUNICH and chew in memory
OF the glory and the greatness.
Man eats himself into public Office
and out of it, he eats as a farewell to
bachelorhood upon the eve of his we'd
ding, he makes of his clubs great eat
ing institutions with ~sociability and
pastimes as %adjuncts, and in every
event of life he bows before the drum
stick and the chicken wing with touch
ing reverence.
1t is quite right and proper that eat
ing should thus figure on mans social
programme. For what tends finally to
produce conversation more than the
steady motion of the jaws in mastica-
ton? Often quite taciturn gentlemen
after keeping their eating muscles in
operation through ten courses have
found that the latter acquire enough
momentum to afterward go on alone,
and their owners have been known to
emit sounds that resembled human
speech, though rising from great depths
Of gravy and wine.-The Club Woman.

VERMONT DEMOCRATS AND THE
PRESIDENCY.

AS rule the democracy OF Vermont
does not enjoy the opportunity to sway
democratic destiny. 1t is so small that
1t is swallowed up in the national democ-
racy. This year, however, Vermont dem
ocrats bid fair to have an opportunity
not wholly unlike that which came to
the republicans of the Green Mountain
state in 1896, when the latter broke away
from the rest of the New England States
and set the popular tide irrcsistbly in
the direction of William Mckinley for the
party's presidential nomination
At the present time the democratic camp
is divided against itself. Tho champions
of extreme radcalism arc battling with
the emissaries of democratic conservatism
and while conservatism seems to have
the advantage thus far. neither sidr has
gained decisive victory. During these lat
tor DAYS HearstIsm and Organism, the
have forged to the front in the dcino-
cratic arena ana ii is no ngurc of speech
to say that the camp of the conservatives
has been thrown into state of constcr
nation by Bryan's latest frcbrand. There
is every indication that the unequal con-
test will be carried on with rcdoubled
fury from now until the date of the ma
tional convention in st Louis, and there
is an evident democratic call for manly
men.
In this party emergency the democrats
of Vermont are confronted by a duty
which can be neither shifted nor lodged.
1t is theirs too send out a clarion note
which will make itself heard oven unto
the national councils OF their party. They
can take a stand as regards both rIen and
measures which will gain for them mark
cd recognition. both now and in the lu-
ture.
Judging from the agility with which
some of the leaders of tho Vermont de-
mocracy have vautcd from Clney to
Hearst and then quietly taken their stand
beside Judge Parker, there will be Il pro-
bounced. if not an irresistible inclination
on Vermont democrats to tempolizc.
There will be n strong temptation to lis
ten to tho bcguline voice Of expcdiency,
that ever besets the path of duty.
The Vermont democrats can either take
n determined stand in favor of consor-
vat SIN for which the majority of the
party in this state are plainly calling
and make their influence felt on the ma
tional convention; or they can refrain
from expressing any opinion whatever
regarding either candidates or principles.
and retain their old-time inconspicuoUs-
ness in the background Of the democratic
drama. In a time of acrohatic politics
and vauting of candidates from platform
to platform there is great danger that tho
Vermont democrats, in trying to play
safe" may land on the ever convenient
hut not infrequently elusive political
fence.

POLITICAL. DEVELOPMENTS.

Last week was a week of political CON
vcntions in Vermont, ana while interest
revolvei about Il variety of features.
the great public is chiefly concerned with
results. What was the significance of
these republican gatherings, and of what
nature and how far-reaching will be their
effects? These are the things that the
newspaper. which is true to itself and
true to it's readers, chronicles, and these
are the things which the reading puhlc
pays to know. no matter whether the
developments be in line with a paper
preferences or in entire opposition to its
desires.
The most Important development in
connection with the gathering of the re-
publican clans of Vermont of course
relates to hation~ politics. IT was a fore
gone conclusion that tho republicans of
the Green Mountain State would be un-
cduivocal in their loyalty to President
Theodore Roosevelt, but what the
political student seeks is to secure an
approximate measure of the enthusiasm
behind that support and thus gain
other commemorative and so throughout
the country.
Every person who enjoyed the privi-
lego Of attending the State and district
republican conventions must have been
impressed by the strong and sweeping
popular sentiment behind the cheers for
Theodore Roosevelt which swellcd the
threats of Vermont republicans at every
mention of his name Now accepting the
measure of enthusiasm for our national
leader manifested by the republicans of
the Green Mountain State through their
representatives, in convention assembled,
particularly when United States Senator
Foraker deity touched their party heart
strings and applying that standard to
public sentiment in other commemorative,
can any Intelligent political observer doubt
that the results mean a wave of popular
enthusiasm leading to a sweeping re-
publican victory?
BE this as it may. Vermont republicans
have chosen grand band of men to rep
resent them in the national councils, head
ed by that brilliant leader, United States
senator William l.. Dillingham;, and in
GLIDING splendid types of the sturdy young
ropubicanism as well as of the older

conventions would ask is professionally.
what of the governorship?' a number
OF booms were in evidence. Lieutenant
Governor u. S. Stanton and the Hon.
Charles j. Bell were both in attendance
upon the State convention, and it follow

in knocking out the other, ana consequent

DRNAN'S DRIVE At PARKER.

William Jennings Bryan summed up
practically all that could be said for and
against the platform availability of Judge
Alton b. Parker of New York, when some
time since he asked "Why nominate an
Interrogation mark" One of the elements
of strength possessed by the apparently
favorite son of the New York democracy
Is that he has taken no pronounced posi-
ton on any of the great issues of the
day, and yet paradoxical as It may seem,
this is one Of his chief weaknesses.
The excuse advanced for Judge Parker
