An Ohio democrat was being
twitted regarding the recent slaugh-
ter of his party, and the opinion
was expressed that the organization
was now down and out for good.
MAY be- said the Ohioan, "but I'm
old enough to remember what was
said by the grand old Roman, Allen
G. Thurman, in 1872: Some friends
were in his office a day or two after
election, and they were agreed that
democracy might as we'll disband.
Mr.. Thurman waved his red ban
dana, and after blowing tremend-
GUS blast, said, with a hearty ring
of his voice: 'Gentlemen, 1 have
listened to all you have said, and l
want to toll you this is too small a
room in which to kill the democratic
party. Next year William Allen
was chosen democratic governor of
the state"

international Exposition at Chicago

The fifth annual International Live
Stock show will be held at Chicago
from November 26 to December 3.
1t was conceded on all hands that
last years international was the
greatest pure live stock show the
world has ever seen. This year the
exposition management has put forth
stronger efforts to advert the eNposi-
ton and it seems evident from this
and from the large number of entries
already made that the coming show
will eclipse in educational value that
of last year.
The following number of cattle
entries had been recorded Novem-
Der 2: Shorthorns, 2S6; Aberdeen
Angus, 237; Herefords, l42; Gallo
ways, 100; Red Polled cattle, So;
Polled Durhams, 81; grades and
cross-breeds, 1O4.
Sheep entries at the same time
were: Shropshire, los; Southdowns,
70; Oxfords, AZ; Hampshires, SO;
Dorsets, Is; Cheviots, 60; Cotswolds,
70; Lincolns, 80; Leicesters, Al;
Rambouilettes, 10. In addition to
this la entries had been made III
medium and long wool classes
Swine entries amounted to 43O.

attend and gain inspiration by OBJ

which has been made in our
country's live stock industry.

| am proprietor a creamery, says
L. L. Ruthford in The Rural New
Yorker, and have no dairy separator,
but | have been interested in the
discussion, and the arguments for
and against the cream gathering
system. AS far as | an learn the
advantages to the patrons are, hav-i
ing sweet milk to feed their calves
(Which IS an advantage when the.
calves are young) and the saving
the hauling of the milk as compared
with the cream. Among the dis
advantages is the danger Of making
an inferior grade Of butter unless
the cream is carefully handled and
properly cooled and delivered daily
through the warm weather. l think
the cream should be delivered by
the patrons themselves or by some
one in each locality delivering
several of his neighbors cream.
My reasons are that it will be deliver
ed earlier in the day and be in better
condition for sampling; the sampling
and weighing can be done by some
one competent person at creamery;
the cream can sooner by tempered
to the proper temperature and then
starter can be added.

David r. Francis, president of
the st. Louis Exposition Company,
is probably, the most elaborately
decorated man in America. Kings
princes and potentates have shower
ed decorations upon him until, if he
wore them all at once, he would
glitter like a circus wagon. Among
the lot are the red eagle of Prussia,
the crown of Italy, the Leopoled l
of Belgium, the sun and lion of
Persia, the double dragon of China
and the cross of the Legion of Honor
Of France.

1t is the custom of the old King
Christian of Denmark to give small
coins to beggars and old women he
meets on the street. Recently he
met young beggar and gave him
the customary copper, but the youth
handed it back and said that he
would rather have, a picture of the
king. Christian said that he did
not carry his pictures about with
him in his pocket. The beggar said
that he doubtless had one in his
purse, though. He got it-on gold

According to the present figures,
this years apple and potato harvest
will be one of the largest that we
have had in years. There has been
such large harvest in all the So
called apple states that it is antici-
pated the prices will be lower than
ever before; in fact the prices are
low enough at the present time.
This same condition exists as far as
potatoes are concerned. The har-
vest in Iowa, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin has been enormous this season
and the quality Of the potato has
been good. 1t is hard to tell just
what states are the leading potato
states in the country because many
consume as much and even more
than they produce. Take the state
New York, for instance. If 270O0,-
600 bushels of potatoes were grown
in that state, it would not be enough
to supply the demand. In the
central states the crop amounts to
nearly 100000 or 15,000,0o0
bushels per state, and as not half
that amount is consumed in our own
state, the rest is shipped to the
markets. In Nebraska, if the crop
averaged in the millions, there
would be, a large surplus, because
there are but few residents there
Another industry which is being
carried on great deal in the western
states is the raising of cucumbers
Nebraska is the pickle center for the
United States. In Colorado there
is little valley where more cucum
bers are grown on an average thar
in any other spot in the Union o.
the same size. Farm and Rea

every citizen were at the Ian

that she would like to have her

husband signing deep with love
all the time would be annoying.
to say the least. and if he in
sisted upon holding his wife's
hand when both bands were
needed for work she woull
grow restless. Suppose. also
that be should spend time writ
ting sonnets to her eyebrow
while other work awaited him,
or that be should snip off a lock
of her hair frequently to show
devotion. Stealing a glove or

MIXING would hardly seem a
knightly deed, even if after
hunting many vexing hours she
should discover them under
glass in his room. Also, how
ever desirable a good dancer
and brilliant conversationllist
may be as fiance. when a wife is
cross and i'll she would infinitely
prefer as companion a wall
