Good News from Texas.

New Braunfels, Texas, May 2Srd.-
A remedy has been found which cures
every form of Kidney Trouble from
Brlght's Disease down. including
rheumatism or Heart Trouble. Mr..
C. C. Schumann, R F. D., No. 4, from
Braunfels has used 1t in his family
and says Of the result:
my wife had heap Of trouble with
Kidney and Heart Disease. She was
very bad and nothing seemed to help
her, till We tried Dodds Kidney Pills
and tho first box Of this medicine did
her more good than all the other pills
and medicine she had used. We are
very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills
for what they have done for her."
Many other cases are being report
ed, In which this remedy has done
wonderful work in the relief and cure
Of Rheumatism, Diabetes and Kidney
troubles Of ali kinds.
This will be good news to many
who are suffering IS Mrs. Schumann
was before Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
her.

Waste of Grain In Feeding.

That Americans waste grain In
feeding will be a statement readily
accepted by most men that know any
thing about our methods of fattening
steers. We have but to compare our
methods with those Of the beef max.
ers on the other side of the Atlantic
to be convinced that for generations
we have been feeding to our steers
altogether too much grain, when
viewed from the economic standpoint.
To be sure we try to save some Of
this grain and do save some Of 1t by
having hogs follow the cattle, but even
then the waste is enormous. In a
great many instances cattle are not
followed by hogs at all and, in other
cases disease comes and takes off the
hogs. In still others, the number
OF hogs following the steers is entire
ly inadequate to pick up the corn that
passes through the steers undigested.
1t has been the practice in the So
called corn belt to feed the steers all
the corn they could eat without re.
gard to their requirements. The grain
was shoveled In, and the steers usu-
ally had enough and to spare. In
other cases 1t was thrown out into the
feed lot, and what the steer did not
eat was trampled under foot. On in.
vestigation, 1t is found that our stock.
men have been feeding from 20 to 25
pounds Of corn per day, and in some
cases this amount has reached 80 and
even 35 pounds. Think of it, half a
bushel of corn fed each steer per
day!
Across the water ten pounds of
corn per day is regarded very heavy
ration, and more often the amount is
between 6 and pounds. Yet who
ever found fault with the quality of
British beef when produced on the
frames of the beef breeds? 1t is evil
dent that our farmers should greatly
reduce the amount Of grain feed, and
with our most progressive feeders this
is being done. The rising price OF
corn has called attention to the mat
ter as nothing else could have done.
We have passed out Of the era of 10.
cent corn, and can no longer afford to
feed more than is necessary. 1t is al
together probable that the usual ration
can be reduced one-half without the
quality Of beef suffering, provided the
rest of the ration is succulent. With
the use Of silage and alfalfa 1t is now
possible to do this. Had the corn
been saved that mas been wasted in
the last few years, our farming com.
munities would not have run short OF
corn two years ago and been com.
PEELED to send their cattle to market
in habitat condition.

Mhitewash for Stables.

Whitewash is a most important arti.
Gle in the keeping clean of the stables.
A coat costs so little that 1t may be
given frequently. Probably the best
kind to use is that employed by the
United States government. That 1t
will stick is obvious from the fact that
1t is used on all the lighthouses, where
1t is constantly exposed to the rain
and spray Of the waves. The formula
for making this is as follows: Slack
about one-half bushel Of unslacked
lime with boiling water. keeping IL
covered during the process. Strain 1t
and add one peck Of salt dissolved In
warm water; three pounds Of ground
rice put in boiling water and boiled to
a thin paste; one-half pound Spanish
whiting, and one pound clear glue dis.
nolved in warm water. Nix these
we'll together and let the mixture
stand for several days. Keep the wash
thus prepared in a kettle or portable
furnace, and when used put II on as
hot as possible. This will answer for
either wood, brick or stone, and keeps
its luster for long time.

MlsstatIna History.

Congressman Warner said 10 the
members OF the Hamilton club last
Saturday; The first purpose Of Lin.
coin and those who elected him was
to abolish African slave pauper labor"
That was a misstatement calculated
to mislead members Of the club who
are not familiar with the political his
tory of 1860. Col. Warner, who wss
not old enough to vote in that year.
but who was old enough and patriotic
enough to volunteer in 1861 and to
fight through the war, may have en-
listed to root out slavery as well as to
save the union, but the abolition OF
slave labor was not the avowed pur.
pose Of the Republican party in 1860
II 1t had been Mr.. Lincoln would not
have been elected. Nor did any con.
siderable number of those who voted
for him have in mind the freeing OF
the slaves as the result Of his election.
The great purpose Of the Republican
party was to prevent the extension OF
slavery to the territories. It said In
its platform that their normal condl.
ton was that Of freedom, and 1t de-
MED the authority of congress or Of a
territorial legislature to give legal ex.
lstence to slavery in any territory.
The fourth plank Of the platform de-
clared-
THAT the maintenance invlolate OF
the rights OF the states, and especially
the right of each state to order and
control its own domestic institutions
according to its own judgment exclu
sively, Is essential to that balance OF
powers on which the perfection and
endurance Of our political fabric de-
pends."
The domestic institutions" includ.
ed African slavery.
The Shareholders would not accept
the pledges Of non-lnterference with
slavery in the states made by Repub-
licans in and out Of congress. They
seeded. and the Republican party
finally did what in 1860 II did not
dream OF doing.-Chicago Tribune.

this is a preposterous assumption, but
1t is not difficult to account for when
we recall that It was fastened upon
the Democratic party by the South at
time when the South imagined it
could do anything but grow cotton
which 1t supposed it would have to
send out Of that region to be manu-
featured. This section Of course was
considering not the interests of the
whole country, but merely its own in
terests. Then, too, 1t was jealous Of
the Northern industries, and preferred
to patronize the foreigner. Once this
was fastened upon the party, this
party was true to the tradition, as Mr..
Cleveland says 1t ought to be, and
consequently fell a good many years
behind the times in this as in other
things. Hence the party became CON-
mitted to this dogma, or a tariff for
revenue, which is the nearest ap-
proach to free trade that any civilized
country has ever had. OF course, the
schoolboy knows that others nations
will not make such law because we
do it, but assume that they would. Al
ready we have at home the greatest
market in the world, and this would
mean to throw all of it away for the
silly delusion of thus capturing in
ferior markets. In the first place we
don't get the markets in this way,
and even If we should get these mar
kets, we should be giving away a
gold dollar for dime in the transac-
tion.-Marion (Ind.) Chronicle.
