John Temple Graves Advice to Demo-
Gratis.

Let the fellows who do not be-
lieve in the things for which demo
cracy stands go away to some other
party. Don't be afraid to let them
go For every man who deserts
the party of the people because it
stands for the people there will be
fund hundred to come in.
1--WE are now compelled to separ-
ate the democratic Democracy from
the plu-ocratic Democracy. Oil and
water will not mix. The Democratic
party cannot any longer survive
half-plutocratic and half democratic.
"There is no use to get mad
about it. There is no way to drive
the Republican Democrats out of
the party. The only thing to do is
to commit the party to principles
and platforms so essentially Demo-
cratic that their fellows will have
neither motive nor excuse for re-
naming.
"We will never have real Demo-
cratic party representing the ma
jority of the American voters until
these fellows go.
1--WE can never sail into port un-
til we unload this ballast"

Hear Plants Grow.

Two Germans have dicovered a
method by which they can hear
plants grow. In the apparatus the
growing plant is connected with a
disk, having in it's center an indica.
tor which moves visibly and regular
ly, and this on a scale fifty times
magnified denotes the progress and
growth. Both disk and indicator
are metal, and when brought in con-
tact with an electric hammer. the
electric current being interrupted at
each of the divided interstices of the
disk, the growth of the plant is as
perceptible to the ear as to the eye

John Sharp Williams, the leader
of the democratic minority in con-
gress, never made greater mistake
from either party or personal
standpoint than when turned his
back upon the best and sounGest
railroad reform bill that the genera
ton has produced, and commit his
party to a hasty and imperfect meas
urc which needed constant amend
ment, for no ether ostensible reason
thnn that he was unwilling that the
credit for this vital reform measure
should go to William R. Hearst, who
had already done Titan's work in
effective democratic warfare against
The trusts and the public graft Of
the time.

care or attention that you bestow on
it during this season of the year
adds anything to it's vitality or
termination power, for a high stand
ard in these qualities must be se-
cured during the growing and ma
turing season.
To get good, strong corn for seed,
plant early of the very best kind, on
good, rich, we'll plowed land: cult
vate thoroughly and as often as it is
needed. When the corn is we'll ma
tured gather and place where it can
dry out thoroughly before very cold
weather. After this it does not
matter where you keep it so it is
kept dry and well ventilated. Fifteen
or twenty degrees below zero will
not hurt it. If it is damaged by the
cold it is an evidence that it is weak
and should be rejected. 1t is much
better to have the weak seed culled
out in this way than to plant it and
because OF some cold, wet and back
ward weather have it rot in the field
and spoil your stand.
| do not believe in the hot-house
care for corn intended for seed. Let
it be kept in a dry, well ventilated
place and then if there is any weak
ness in it, let the weather. with its
influence and effect, indicate it, be-
fore tits planted. 1t is not SO much
OF a disappointment. nor is it as ex-
pensive. However be sure your corn
is we'll matured and that it is abso-
lutely dry before cold weather sets
in. If this is not the case you had
better keep it away from extreme
cold. But remember that corn
saved in this way does not carry
with it the assurances of strong Vi
tality and terminating qualities that
corn does which has successfully
withstood the cold.
Were the advice given in this
communication, carried out in detail
it would mean the undoing of much
that has been placed on the subject
OF testing seed corn during the last
few years. AS matter Of fact no
one need spend a month testing
seed corn. A simple method was
described in these columns last
week, and by following the direct
ions there given even an amateur
could Test in one day, enough corn
to plant from thirty to
sixty acres. The mistaken idea
prevails that the process is COM
plicated one, and we are exceedingly
anxious to correct this impression.
True it is that anyone can tell a
rotten kernel from one that is not,
but no man is expert enough to tell
with any degree of certainty whether
a germ has been weakened by frost
or not. In 1903 and 1904 even ex-
they were nonplused by the manner
in which good seed acted. They
claimed that seed that looked fresh
and nice in every way in many cases
did not give more than IS per cent
termination. Of course it is good
thing to study the kernel as much
as possible, SO as to be we'll inform
ed on every phase of the seed corn
question, but our advice to readers
is, rather than trust to a sharpened
Judgment, by all means test the
corn before it has been shelled. We
have found from practical experience
on the farm that at no time during
the year can one make his time
count more than when he is engaged
in testing his seed corn.-Home-
stead.

Pulling o.trich Feathers.

A man who runs an ostrich farm,

of gathering the feathers, admitted
that they were pulled out Of the birds

pulling out your eyeteeth." A good

Sunday Overeating.

tHelen johnson in Good Housekeeplng)
If it is desired to begin the week
refreshed and ready for labor, rested
in mind and body, the eating GUS
toms of Sunday will have to be re-
adjusted. Have a later breakfast, if
desired, but then have very light
one, even if you are hungry. Or #
it must be hearty, then do not upset
your digestive habits any more than
may be avoided and have but two
meals on that day, and eat no other.
1t would be far better have three
light meals, lighter than usual,
if that could be arranged to fit with
the other household arrangements.
The custom of noon dinner on that
day arises from the usual absence of
cook or maid at the later one, and
this may be unavoidable. Very we'll,
then; treat this as rest day for cook
and digestive apparatus as we'll as
from other labors; have light
breakfast, a light dinner and a chat
ing-dish supper as near the ordinary
hours of meals as possible, and re-
member as you are going to take less
exercise than usual you a demand
lesser amount of more easily di-
gested food.

The Thing for the Canal Builders to D.

The Thing for the Canal Builders to Do
Dig the canal. The anti-canal
lobby has had its way long enough.
More than year ago the Presi-
dent appointed a Canal Commission,
gave it a lecture and put it to work.
Everybody threw up his hat and
the cartoonists drew pictures of
Uncle Sam with rolled up sleeves
making the dirt fly in the big ditch.
After a year and one-half is past
nothing has been done but to oust
the old Canal Commission and ap-
point new one.
The engineers have not yet agreed
upon what sort of a canal they are
going to have-a lock canal or a
sea-level canal. They say they do not
know whether it will cost $780,
100000 or $4OO,OOO,OOO.
Railroad presidents will dominate
the new commission. Railroad
presidents do not build railroads;
they operate them. The average
railroad president as builder is a
failure.
During this summer there will be
an outbreak of yellow fever on the
Isthmus. There is an outbreak
there every year, but the newspapers
owned by the transcontinental rail.
roads will make a great outcry over
the fever this summer.
Then you will hear call for q
health commission. The health
commission will put in year OF
two, if it is allowed to have its OWE
way.
If the Administration means bust
ness, the Panama Canal can bt
quickly built.
If there is disease on the 18th

lt is generally expected ihat when fhs work s doue. tho mine wilt become e paying ope. as iio old upper workings have produced immense quantities of rich silver ores. This work is being pnshcd as rapidly as possible day and night, and is expected to reach under the ore chute by the begin ming of January.
 The adjoining property on the north is the old mine "Zambona," owned by the Zambona Develop ment Go. Mir. A. Yaeger superin- tendent. The work is being pushed very rapidly, changing the ma chinery in the mill, and mine.
 The mill is expected to be in operation by August lst, and the best of all is, that in the bottom level there Is a big lode from 30 to 70 feet wide that averages about 100 ounces silver per ton. and some parts run as high as 1000 ounces per ton, giving also very good result in copper.
 On the south of the santo Dom- ingo is the famous old mine La Quinteran which is, and has been 9 very rich paying mine for many years, owned hy French com- pany, in Paris.
 The Promontorios mine Is on the south of the "Quintera," and has been a very rich property. All these mines are on the same contact, and k proved that the deeper developed the richer in values, the Quintera now being 1900 feet down
 The thing which is needed in the district of Alamos, is a rail- road, which is expected to be brought in very soon

The San Bernardo Mining O.. which is the owner of the Santo Domingo mine, located in Adua- ma, near Alamos, J. R, Hendra superintendent, has installed new boiler, engine with gallows frame all in place and in working order.
 The shaft has been drained to the 200 foot level, and tim5ered where 1t was required. A new ladderway has also been put from top to bottom, and the sinking of shaft commenced.
 The shaft will be sunk 100 feet, and crosseut tho lode, and then commence driving north to get under the old aat5gua workings, which will require about 400 feet of drifting.
