UNJUST CRITICISM.

Men, and women as well. are so
often prone TO criticise each other. that
few, if any, men i'm public or i'm private
life these days, escape the denuncia-
ton and criticism of their fellow be-
ings. Too often does this occur with
out cause OF reason. The late Benia-
mine II. Hill, who was United
States Senator from Georgia, was like
most public men, under these unjust
suspicious. His loyalty To his party
was questioned. and Efforts were made
To defeat him for recollection i'm the
Legislature Of his state. In his address
before the Legislature ne made use of
"A very beautiful allcgory which was
intended to typify the injustice of his
critics. 1t follows
"A celebrated artist painted "A pic
urc and declared that there was not
"A subject in the kingdom who could
tell its true color. The king selected
what ne considered his most expert
servant and sent him Ia examine the
picture. The artist exhibited il, and
it was solid green. The servant
returned To- the king and said: Your
majesty, the picture is grccn-grccn as
fresh foliage of the full nedgcd spring
time. II il be not so your servant is
willing not To live till the trees shall
bud again That the king might be as
sured his first servant was right he
sent another trusty servant, and the
artist exhibited to him the picture.
and the color was perfectly yellow.
and the servant returned to his mas
ter and said: Your majesty. the pie
ture is yellow yellow as the scared
leaves of the full frosted autumn. If
it be not So your servant is willing to
fall when the leaves shall fall The
king, perplcXed, sent a third servant.
and the artist exhibited the picture to
the servant, and it was solid blue.
And the servant returned to the king
and said: Your majesty, the picture
is blue-blue as the azure heavens
when there is not a fleece of cloud to
darken its eternal beauty. If it be not
so your servant is willing never again
to look upon those blue heavens And
SO the king continued to send one after
another until he had sent six servants.
and each reported Il different color
The king, greatly perplexed. com
manded that the artist should bring
the picture before him in the palace.
And the artist brought the picture and
showed it to the king, and behold, it
was still another colOr-a perfect red.
And the king said, All my servants
have reported falsely. and they shall

The Republicans were fond Of clean
ing, in the two last Presidential cam
paigns that all the big corporations
"the money pOwers''-were controlled
10y their party, that the Democrats had
no money, and if given control of the
government they could do nothing
that all the great resources of the
country We're in the hands Of the Re
publicans. The recent disclosures and
exposures in the great Republican
trusts and corporations have caused
the Democrats no regrets that their
party was not controlled by these

party? They are a disgrace to anv
party, and to the country as we'll. The

LACK OF HARMONY IN THE
NINTH.

The newspapers of the state insist
that there is lack of harmony in the
ranks of the Republicans i'm the Ninth
District. and lack of enthusiasm, etc.
This may be true, and if true may con
tribute to Democratic success this fall
1t is a fact that number Of the leaders
do not like Colonel Slemp, and that
his hold upon the party is no stronger
than the question Of "pie" can make
it. Nevertheless, we repeat. the
Democrats will make fatal mistake
If too much stress is laid here. and
thorough organization and hard work
not considered Of the most vital i'm
portance. 1t may be true that num-
Der Of the most intelligent Republican
leaders in the District may not desire
10 see Mr.. Slemp returned to Congress,
but it is question whether they pre-
fer Democrat, or their wish to see
Slemp defeated is strong enough to i'm
pei them to use their influence against
him. They may do nothing for him
will they do anything against him ? A
little personal disafIection" is one
thing, disloyaltY to party is another
thing. A small rumpus six months
before election may, and in all prob
ability will, show decided quieting

We repeat it ag;in-the Democrats
have no easy job n their hands to de-
feat the Colonel. disafrection or no dis
affection, and it is none too soon TO be
up and at it. There ought to be one
OF the most enthusiastic conventions i'm
Bristol ever held in the District, and
wise methods and plans adopted. and
these plans and methods pursued with
uncompromising vigor and industry.

How Bees Embalm.

Bees says Horbis, lean embaln
as successfully as could the anci N
Egyptians. 1t often happens in damn
weather that slug or snail will en-. e,
a bee hive. This is, of course, to the
unprotected slug a case OF sudden
death. The bees fall upon him and
sting him to death at once. But what
to do with the carcass becomes vital
question. II left where 1t is 1t will
breed a regular pestilence. Now
comes in the c.everness OF the insects.
They set to WORK and cover 1t with
wax, and there you may see 1t lying
embalmed, just as the nations OF old
embalmed their dead. When 1t is a
snail that is the intruder, he is, of
course, imrenetrable to their sting; SO
they calmly cement his shell with wax
to the bottom OF the hive. Imprison-
ment for life, with no hope OF par

SOME CLOVER DoN'TS.
Things to Remember IF You v ould
Secure a Good Stand and Keep
It in Condition.

To begin with, don't fail to SOW
clover. Don't sow less than tve
quarts to the acre. Don't fail to clip
your clover before the weeds go to
seed. Don't pasture your spring seed
ing so short but what there will be
plenty of top to protect the clover
against freezing and thawing in the
latter part of winter.
Don't try to cut but one crop of
hay from the one seeding Don't fail
to spread thinly over the poorer parts
of your clover field all the manure
you have. This may be done to the
best advantage any time after the hay
Is off through all the fall and win
ter. Don't throw manure in piles, but
spread as fast as you draw 1T. This
will give the land all the same benefit.
If put in piles 1t is apt to be neglected
and allowed to remain and dry out
and leach down into the soil making
the ground richer in spots than neces-
sary, making bunchy looking crops.
Manure never spreads so we'll as when
first drawn.
And for last don't, the Orange
Judd Farmer says: Don't fail to plow
this field for corn or potatoes or some
other cultivated crop, to be followed
by oats, then wheat, then clover or
some other way in which clover will
find it's way in the rotation.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society, And In stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ccasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject TO the same physical
laws; all suffer allie from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and diSpluce-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat.

struggling TO earn a livelihood or per-

MADE-ovER POULTRY HOUSE
An Instance Of the Genius of Utiliz
ing the Old and Unused Things
on the Farm.

IL only cost us S11 TO move our old
smoke-holse and get enough new
flooring and other material to make
this useless old building over into
comfortable brooder house. II is not
handsome building; good deal of
the weather boarding is old, the win
dows are some old discarded ones that
had laid UP in the garnet for years.
but it will make comic. able. roomy
winter home for the pullets that were
raised in it. And next spring we will
build a new brooder house.
We find that so hens are enough to
keep in one house. and we have divided
this house into two parts. The
scratching place is in the front part,
and the back part of the building y to
be their roosting place. This old
building is higher than there is any
need OF, but the upper part we nave
fixed into storing place for grain. so
we can feed the hens without making
SO many trips to the barn in bad win
ter weather.
There's no use trying to make poul-
try success without suitable build
ings and conveniences, declares cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer. We
have tried II and know 1t is uphill
work. But where there's will there's
way On many farms there are cid
sheds and buildings like our old smoke
house OF little use, mere of an eyesore
than anything else, that can be trans
formed with a little labor and expense
into comfortable homes for the winter
layers; AMI comfortable quarters they
must have If we want thrifty laying
hens.

shown in Fig. l. 1t must slant toward
the tank, SO as to return the liquid as
it drips from the wet sheep. The floor
must be tight enough to prevent leak
ing.
Where q large number of sheep ave
handled and fixed device is desired,
a chute and drain floor may be con-
structed as shown In Fig. 2, out OF
light fencing timber.
The most effective dips contain sui
phur, lime, tobacco or arsenic in some
proportions. These may be mixed In
manner to be quite harmful, and pre-
caution must always be taken to nave
the solutions fresh and not too strong.
The Colorado dip is made UP OF 50
pounds flowers of sulphur, IL pounds
unslaked lime, and 100 gallons of wa
:er.
A very effective dip used and tested
~ the bureau of animal industry is
made of "a pounds of flowers OF SUI
blur, eight pounds unslaked lime and
90 gallons of water. This is made by
mixing the sulphur and lime to paste,
ind then ooiling for three hours IL %
gallons of water, stirring i rapidly,

The clear liquid, to which add the
est of the 100 gallons of warm water
before dipping.
The combined tobacco and Sulphur
dip is made by stepping 16 pounds of
tobacco ieaves in warm water for one
day; then boil a few moments and let
stand over night. Strain off the liquid
and add 10 it as many pounds of sui
phur as tobacco used. Add the sui
.phur just before dipping. Dilute the
whole mixture to 100 gallons.
More trouble is saved by using the
prepared dips now on the market,
many of which are very effective.
They should be mixed carefully ac-
cording 10 directions and never too
strong. Dip the sheep thoroughly,
putting them entirely under the liquid
for few seconds. Then allow them
to drain thoroughly, as several pints
of liquid will be held by the wool as
they walk out of the tank. The loss
in this way will be less according as
the sheep are dipped Immediately
after shearing.
