Attorney George W. Baker was here
from Leon, Monday, drawing up con-
tract for the Buchanan riskill real es-
tate trade. In making the trade Mr..
Buchanan agrees that if at the end Of
one year the Driskills are dissatisfied he
will buy back the Kansas farm at the
price paid, $40 per acre, thus showing
beyond cavil that the trade is certainly
made on an equitable basis. All that is
now lacking to close the trade is the
approval of Judge Evans.-Davis City
Lariat.

No False Claims.

The proprietors of Foley's Honey and
Tar do not advertise this as "sure
cure for consumption" They do not
claim it will cure this dread complaint
in advanced cases, but to positively
assert that it will cure in the earlier
stages and never fail to give comfort
and relief in the worst cases. Foley's
Honey and Tar is without doubt the
greatest throat and lung remedy. Re-
fuse substitutes. L. P. Van Werden.

EXPENSES AND PER DIEM.

Should Delegates to the State Grange
Be Paid by the Day or Mileage?
Secretary George R. Drake of the
New Hampshire state grange, being
asked by the editor of this department
for an opinion on this subject, said: 1T
is my decided opinion that it is better
to pay the actual travelling expenses
Of the delegates in attendance at the
state grange, but it does not seem best
to pay their expenses for board.
1.-THE New Hampshire state grange
officers, the forty deputies and the
masters and their wives or husbands Of
each subordinate and Pomona grange
in the state draw pay from the state
grange for the actual amount of car
and stage fare, and each is paid $1.25
per day for the time In actual attend
ance at the meeting.
THE committee on mileage and per
diem can easily make up the expense
account of the session from the printed
list of railroad rates always at hand,
which is / cent mile for the round
trip. BY paying each delegate and le-
gal attendant at the session specified
sum we avoid any complications and
very much simplify any delicate ques
lions that might arise concerning any
extravagant board bills

Feed For waterfowl.

In feeding the young of all kinds
of waterfowl depend upon the mash.
Nothing is better for them than ground
oats, corn and bran, says the Feather
equal parts in weight mixed into a
semi-dry mash and fed to them In
boxes or troughs, not large amount
at any one time, reasonable amounts
frequently. Always have full wa
ter supply near at hand. Waterfowl
always eat little, then drink a little.
This they keep up until fully satisfied.
An inexhaustible supply Of green food
is an absolute necessity for the raising
Of geese. Nothing is more easily raised
when once matched than the young COS
lings. After they have become few
DAYS old they may wander with the
mother goose. provided they are
watched little when they go about
the water or storms come upon them.
After they are a month old they can
battle with the parent geese IN the
struggle for life.

PoMoNA,s FINANCES.

How Shall Money Be Raised-I5y Fees
or Duess,
How shall the Pomona grange secure
its finances? is the question which
sometimes arises for discussion in Po-
mona oranges. There is one of three
ways charge members an initiation
fee alone, or an initiation fee and year.
" dues, or let each subordinate grange
pay per capita dues to the Pomona
grange A Pomona grange does not
need d large sum in its treasury, and
yet comfortable fund for any exigen-
cies is desirable, remarks a writer in
the Country Gentleman. We believe
that the initiation fee Of so cents per
member, as in New York, viii be
found to be sufficient for all the needs
of most Pomona oranges, and this
surely Is most convenient arrange
ment for procuring the finances of the
county grange If we have per cap
tia tax for both Pomona and state
oranges, there will be but little left for
the subordinate grange, and if annual
dues are charged members Of the Po-
mona grange 1t would require very
considerable amount Of labor on the
part of the secretary of the Pomona
to see that these dues were collected.
Where the initiation fee is made the
sole source of revenue the Pomona
should not admit to its fifth degree
session, and Of course cannot, any
fourth degree member who has not
taken the fifth degree. In other words,
to open a Pomona grange on the
fourth degree and perform all the
work in that degree, except initiation
of candidates, would be to give the
advantages of the Pomona grange to
members of the subordinate oranges,
whether members of the Pomona or
not.

sscasv Lexv Is Contagious.

scaly leg is a form Of seabies or
mango. caused by the mite known as
the sarcoptes mutans. It is a con-
tagious disease, but does not spread
very rapidly, and there may be only
a few affected birds in a flock at one
time. When the disease is first OBJ
served prompt and energetic measures
should be adopted to eradicate it. The
afrected birds should be isolated to
prevent the spread Of the contagion.
Begin treatment by soaking the legs in
warm water to which soap has been
added until the scales have become
thoroughly softened, and the loose
scales can be removed without causing
bleeding. After this has been done
amply a good coat Of carbolic ointment
or balsam Of Peru. This should be
repeated daily for three or four days.

May troubles disappear, burdens be ligh-

How to Make q Housewife.

A small housewife is an acceptable
Christmas gift, for it is useful to tuck
in travelling case, to use at the
church sewing circle or in the pri-
vacy of ones boudoir. It may be no
larger than the space occupied by the
spools of thread laced between its
covers. These are Of pasteboard COW
cred with figured silk. The top cover
has an ivory bodkin run through the
loops of ribbon where the spools are
laced to the top and bottom Of the
case. An extra top is covered with
silk and has three pieces Of flannel
sewed to one side for needles. On
the top is a bow Of ribbon. Some
times a tiny bag Is made In each Of
the ends of two ribbon loops, one for
a small pair of scissors and one for
the gold or silver thimble, which may
accompany such a housewife

DEGREE WORK.
A Maine Paper Thinks 1t Consumes
Too Much Time.

A Maine Paper Thinks 1t Consumes
Too Much Time.
Perhaps the greatest bar to bene-
fetal achievement in some of the
younger and most rapidly growing
oranges in Maine, says the Maine
Farmer. is the almost constant initia-
tory work going forward. Not few Of
such have scarcely a regular meeting
during the active season which is not
devoted to working degrees on classes,
which in many instances are composed
Of but two or three candidates. The
work may be well done and is Of I'M
doubted interest to those being in
structed, but to the members not in
the game the constant consumption of
time for this purpose sooner or later
dampens their enthusiasm for other
work of Importance.
If the grange in Maine should estab-
lish a rule that no degrees should be
worked in any subordinate grange ex-
cept at two stated meetings during
each quarter without a special dis
pensation from the state grange Off
Gals, we believe the effect would be
Of great advantage to the Order. BY
this method special preparation could
be arranged and the work made Of a
much higher character, thoroughly en-
joyable to candidates, spectators and
those performing the work.
Waste of time and consequent alb
sence of genuine, enthusiastic discus
sion of the important problemsbf local
and state interest cannot be neglected
by an organization like that which
the Patrons of Husbandry has now be-
come. Such neglect can mean only the
loss Of influence, which never was
more needed than at the present time
for holding advantages already gained
and advancing other essential reforma-
tory measures which organized inter-
ests in different lines of activity will
use their utmost influence to prevent
being secured.

We do not agree with all the censure
that has been visited on the iuryman whose
opinion did not harmonic with the eleven,
and who kept the jury out two nights. and
whose alleged obstancy resulted in dis
agreement. The trouble with too many
jurors is that their opinions are made for
them by plausible arguments OF paid at
torneys, or by some stronger intellect in
the jury. The Juror who reaches his con-
illusions after hearing the evidence, may
End himself alone sometimes, and if he
does he ought not to be shaken by mere
numbers.

temperance. At the last meeting of the

the degrading American saloon ought to

it can be abolished and in the meantime
