An Old Fashioned Remedy.


Owing to the prevalence of pneumo-
MIA and the great mortality which at
tends this dreaded disease, boards of
health in different communities in the
older states of the union are advocat-
ing the following remedy for the all
ment; Take six to ten onions accord
ing to the size and chop fine. Put in a
large frying pan over hot fire then
add to same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make thick paste.
In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly,
letting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
in about ten minutes change the poul-
tees, and in few hours the patient
will be out Of danger. This remedy is
said to have been formulated many
years ago by New England physician
who never lost patient by the disease.
It seems to us that the remedy is
worth trying in an emergency, or until
physician arrives, and we give it for
what it is worth.

Grinding Feed for Hogs.

There is such variation in results
of experiments conducted to ascertain
whether it is best to grind feed for
hogs that the individual feeder is left to
be his own judge, and to ascertain for
himself whether it pays best to grind
the feed or feed it whole. My exper-
fence has been young animals will chew
their feed better than old ones and that
almost any hog will chew corn very
well before it dries out. While young
hogs will chew dried corn reasonably
well old ones are liable to pass half the
grains unbroken in their weddings.
Last year l undertook to fatten stag
five years old, and after the corn got
dry he did not from appearance break
half the grains. This Fall am fatten-
ing sow abont the same age and the
same is true of her. am feeding her
ground feed now, however, and feel
pretty sure that it pays me to go to the
trouble of grinding it. A few years
ago tried feeding buckwheat to young
fattening hogs. This was fed whole
for time, but the hogs did not seem to
break half the grains. I have never
tried wheat, but from observations
from neighbours feeding wheat car
say that the hogs win not chew wheat
well. If the grains are not broken il
is clear case that the animal viii not
get mnch benefit from the feed, and
when any considerable quantity Of
grains are avoided without chewing BY
the animal it would seem to be the best
Plan to have the feed ground. Oh
course it will be some trouble and cost
to grind the feed, but if the animals are
not chewing their feed well the extra
trouble win be amply repaid in extra
gain from some amount Of FEED. Xxx

The star of destiny still shines for
William Jennings Bryan. Heis the all
powerful leader of the Democratic party
to-day. He is in the glare of the lime
light of publicity, and can gather thou
sands where other would-be leaders
cannot gather scores. The Savannah
News complains that instead of retiring
to obscurity after his two Presidential
defeats, che hobs up in unexpected
places and on every possible occasion
whereat the Macon News reports: ''Mr.
Bryan is to-day the most popular living
Democrat in all the nation" All this
gives the Atlanta Constitution an op-
portunity to say:
"Mr. Bryan retains his popularity,
not through the cheap methods of a
poseur who understands the advertis-
ing tricks of the press agent, but be-
cause, more yearly than does any other
living American citizen, he embodies
in his personality and expressed con-
victions the American ideal of honest,
fearless craftsmanship. 1t matters not
how far the magnetic Nebraskian may
fall short of this lofty ideal in his
abilities and accomplishments he may
have his failings and even his super
ficialities-he may not have risen to the
full height Of his opportunity is,
nevertheless, a relic of almost lost
type of the great publicist and common
er so dear to the American heart and
still dear to Americans who venerate
the statesmanly days of the republic.
Mr.. Bryan is acknowledged to have
few peers as hustling orator and no
man has right to question the SINGER
ity of his imprisoned speech. Radical
he may be, but his is the radicalism of
conviction uncompromising con-
viction-and not the radicalism of the
demagogue. Any manly man, what
ever his opinions or prejudices, cannot
but respect the constancy to principle
that Mr.. Bryan has ever evinced in
defeat and the dignity with which he
has borne himself Mr.. Bryan posses
ses moral qualities that are all TOO
rare.
''For the rest, Mr.. Bryan stands for
principles that millions of his fellow
citizens cherish as their political tenets.
The fact that those he represents in
the fierce forum of ideas are at present
IN the minority does not lessen the re-
spect due his leadership or the force of
his individuality. That minority may
be Gideon's band, small, but strong
with the potentialities of ultimate VIC
tory. 1t may yet leaven the whole
lume of the American body polite.
THE Constitution sees no reason
why any Democrat should dispraise or
disparage Mr.. Bryan. 1t may be easy
to pick flaws in him, for who is con-
cretely exempt from criticism? But
Mr.. Bryan in the abstract, is monu-
mental. He fills a large niche in con-
temporary history.
