Tauuht bv Mistakes.

We learn much from our mistakes,
and the lessons we so learn are I'M
pressed upon u.s.. Every poultry rails
er could cite a large number Of disas-
trous accidents occurring as the re
suit of precautions not taken. One
man had two beautiful broods OF hall
grown Plymouth Rocks. He had them
in two coops, the Stats of which were
but indifferently nailed on. Two cats
got in one night and slaughtered all
the feathered innocents. That was a
lesson In favor of well-built coOps, and
the owner of the said brOodS then
bought wire netting and made coops
that were cat-proof and rat-prOOf. An
other man had a fine flock of hens.
but left the door of their house open
nights, as it was some trouble to shut
it. A mink recognized it as his op-
portunity and slaughtered %. The
owner shut the door after that.
man we know of accidentally broke a
pane of glass in window adjoining
the roosts of the poultry. 1t was
March and the winds were cold and
the rains frequent. He knew he ought
to have the window fixed at once, but
did not. In week two of the birds
had swelled heads and the man began
to doctor for roup. But that was only
the beginning. The roup had come in
through the broken window, and ii
staid with the flock for four months.
The man fixed the broken window and
moved his fowls to a new poultry
house, but the roup remained. After
he had lost 46 birds he killed the 40
that remained, and went out of the
poultry business for a year, to give
his yards a chance to cleanse them
selves through the processes of ma
ture
We knew of man that had 200
young chicks, the result of setting
three or four hundred eggs under
large number of hens. He staked each
hen in the yard and left a box for
each hen and brood to run under 1t
would be so nice and natural FOR them
to sit on the ground. The ground was
a level grass plot bounded on two
sides by a raised walk and on the
other two sides by a picket fence
with board at the bottom. One
night there came tremendous down
pour OF rain, the water falling with
such rapidity that it could not run off
the level land fast enough to prevent
the 1nundation of the coops surround
ed as they were by fences and walks.
By the glare of the flashes of light
ming the man succeeded in saving a
part of the frightened broods. After
that none of his chicks slept on the
ground.
A farmer that had been raising
chickens for good many years
thought he had learned about all there
was to learn. He at least had learned
one thing well, he believed and that
was that lard alone would kill chicken
lice without the help of kerosene.
But once he wanted to save time,
and instead of giving the chicks sew
eral treatments with grease a few
days apart, decided to do the job up
at one time. If a little grease was
good, more should be better. So he
creased the chicks all over. But too
much grease is fatal to chicks. and
this man lost thirteen out of sixteen
so creased. But he didn't make that
mistake again.

The color of butter is too high for
the best good of the butter making in
dustry, if vegetable coloring matter is
to be used. We are trying to get back
to vegetable coloring matter, as the
analine dyes are now being prohibited
in different states and are likely to
be in all states where butter-making
is largely carried on. The use Of
these coal tar dyes has led to the
higher coloring of the butter than for
merly, and the vegetable colors being
weaker have to be used in too large
quantities il the same color is to be
kept up. The large use of these veg.
etable colors does not injure the food
value of the butter, but does some
times affect the flavor, according to
the testimony of experts. The rene
dy would seem to be tc lower the
standard of color

Concrete Facts.

One of the most fragrant misrepre-
sentasions of the free traders in their
attacks upon the protective system is
their persistent assumption that pro-
tectionists underestimate the value or
ignore the Importance of foreign trade,
One of the favorite illustrations used
by the opponents of protection is that
the advocates of the protective system
propose to build a Chinese wall about
the country to shut out foreign trade.

ed that feature of our tariff system
Us little less than criminal.
Nor would he stop there. He in
gists that wherever American manu-
facturers are, by means of monopo-
listic tariff, enabled to sell their arti-
cles abroad more cheaply than at
home, or, rather, are permitted to
charge at home prices higher than
those accepted abroad, then the du-
ties on all such articles should be re-
duced so as to correct that injustice
to tie American consumer"
Being a Democrat, Judge Parker
looks upon the tariff as a tax. All
Democrats so consider it. Nearly all
Democrats, while recognizing in the
tariff a necessary means Of providing
revenue, contend that it should have
no other function. Most of them would
prefer an income tax. Practically the
entire body of the Democratic party
is antagonistic to the protective func-
ton of a tariff. A considerable ma
jority of Democrats are avowed free
traders, while a minority seem to IA
gor some sort of protection, provided
it is not the sort that protects.
To the latter class Judge Parker
apparently belongs. He would revise
the tariff and distribute equitably is
benefits" How? We presume he does
not know The Democratic record of
distribution of tariff benefits has in
variably been anything but an equal
distribution. In the Democratic scheme
of tariff making foreign producers
have never failed to reap the lions
share of the benefits, while domestic
producers and domestic labor have
never failed to get the worst end of
the distribution.
Judge Parker feels himself on safe
ground when committing himself to
the reduction of tariff duties on COM
modities competing with trust prod
ucts To smash the trusts he would
cmash the tariff. Evidently he does
not consider it worth while to calcu-
late the effect of that sovereign spe-
cific upon 60 per cent or more of pro-
ducars that are wholly outside of
trusts. While lowering the tariff bars
for the smashing of the few trusts
tbet are guilty of wringing extortion'

Some Democrats, recalling what
happened to their party with the
long-drawn-out declarations of Chica-
ing and Kansas City, are callirg for a
short platform this year. 1t should
be easy to comply with such a de-
mand. The Democratic party would
correctly define it's position with re-

Old Soldiers Story.

Sonoma, Mich, June Is That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter
rible than bullets is the experience OF
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as Union soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke
in the Louisiana swamps, and as
result got crippled with rheumatism
so that his hands and feet got all
twisted out of shape, AMI how he suf-
fered only rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in
misery, then one lucky day his drug
gist advised him to use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. OF the result Mr.. Hutchins
says:
'The first two boxes did not help
me much, but l got two more. and
before l got them used up l was
great deal better. / kept on taking
them and now my pains are all gone
and feel better than l have in years.

rheumatism.

The Old Story.

The dissatisfaction of Democratic
organs with the attitude of the Repub.

new development. 1t has been on ex-

the country has been building up and
growing under beneficent Republican
rule.-Kansas City Journal.

Of course, the protectionists have de.
have shown that this assumption is
contrary to reason. Every additional
year under protection, however, has
given additional concrete facts to shoV
that there is absolutely nothing id
this theory of the free traders. The
exports have increased at an incred-
ible rate, Notwithstanding the pro-
tests of the theorists.-Marion (nd.)

Do they go alone.

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG
A Peculiar Bird Found In the Jua
 rlea Of South America.

A Peculiar Bird Found In the Jul-
 rIea or South America.
 ThNrs Is a queer bird In the jungles of northern South America which h called the 'pauIr' by the nauyea, but is known to science as the galeated curasson. It is chiefly remarkable be cause it uingu its own death song.
 It does not really sing, but makes a deep humming noise which sounds very much Ike the Spanish words "El muerto esta aQur (the corpse lies here)
 Tt is while utterlng this lugubrious chant" said a South American travel CT. "that the paujr usually meets it's death. for the hunter can then easily track it To It's retreat ana it falls Q victim. as the Indians cay, to its OWL death song"
 If tbs "pauji" getl suspicious it im- uediately ceases humming, and that Is A sure indication to the hunter that 'tbe bird has seen him or scents dan ger. In such a case the only thing for the sportsman to do is to remain per. fectly still. The bird may become re- assured after wafing awhile and again begin to call. "The corpse lies here.' lt can then be cautiously approached and killed
 Ifitisonly wounded the "pauH' usu- ally escapes. though it cannot dy much better than the ordinary domestic fowl. It Is very fleet of foot and will outrun the hunter until it IS lost in the dense uudprgrowth of the jungle.
 In the mating season the male paul. is the most pugnacious Of birds and will fight its own kind whenever it meets them. Often the fight ends iu t,,s annihiauon Of both combatauts.
