fusion OF the better element OF the
political parties opposed to the per-
petuation in power of the grafters
and thieves who for the past two
years have been engaged in despoil-
ing the municipality. Fusion under
existing circumstances is not only
perfectly legitimate, but most desir-
able. The American" organs re-
tend that fusion even in the limited
degree it has been effected proves
their contention that all the political
parties and in fact all the people of
Salt Lake except those who have es.
poused the cause of the grafters are
under the control of the Mormon
church. Such contention is founded
on basis of absolute and complete
falsehood and is so absurd that it is
difficult to imagine how any person
who knows anything about the actual
conditions here and is endowed with
even small modicum of intelligence
can give it any credence whatsoever.
The hierarch bogie man, however,
has served he Tribune, the organ of
the grafters and thieves so we'll that
they think it is all powerful. In fact
it is their only stock in trade. Just
as soon as the bogie man loses it's
potency their occupation will be at
an end
Some of Our very good friends who
are opposed to the American" party
and who have nothing but desteta-
ton of their methods, however, are
opposed to fusion as a means OF
overthrowing the grafters. They
think it more expedient for the oppo.
sition to the party of spoils to remain
apart, to stick closely to their politi-
cal affiliations and thus let the graft
ers maintain their grip of the city.
They argue, if such is done, that the
Americans" the rank and file OF the
party will see that political lines are
we'll established here, that the Nor
mon church exercises no influence in
politics and that there is no cause for
the existence of the anti Mormon
church party; and that they will aban-
don it. In view of the acts of the
American" party in the past, the
spirit and genius of the organization,
the causes which led to its being cal
led into existence this argument
seems utterly without merit.
The genius of the american" par
ty is fraud and deception. It's ex-
cuse for existing is opposition to the
Mormon church taking any interest
in politics. Other churches may be
and many of them are in politics UP
to their necks but they are not cen
sured by the Americans" on that
account. On the contrary they are
commended for it. The American
party came into existence, because
the Mormon church would not gel
into politics and use its influence fol

great disadvantage thereby and have

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be de-
veloped in Iowa, for the authorities at
the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them by
a process even more simple than that
required to make it from beets Exper-
iments have resulted in the production
OF species Of pumpkin which contains
4 per cent Of sugar, and it is the pre-
dfction that in three years the sugar
element will be increased to II per cent.
This is equal to the quantity of sugar
found in the best variety of sugar beet.
Because pumpkins are easily raised and
tonnage may be produced to the acre
which will exceed that of sugar beets,
the new sugar pumpkin will open up
valuable field for the Iowa farmers.
The pumpkins may be planted in the
cornfields, and the same soil which will
produce corn may be made to produce
a crop of pumpkins at the same time

Ground FIaxseed.

Ground fiaxseed is sometimes found
on the market, but in very limited
quantities. If the pure flaxseed meal
is desired it is probably best for the
farmer to grow the seed and grind 1t
himself. It is often used to replace the
fat in skim milk fed to calves. Both
fiaxseed and linseed or oil meal are
laxative in their nature and for this
reason should not be fed alone, but
should be mixed with other grains.

CRITICS GIVEN ADVICE.

By Rev. A Arnold Ross.
The world is full Of critics and criti-
cism. 1t is the one great staple Of con-
versation Among women it is called
gossip" among men it is called by
various names, because it assumes sc
many differing phases.
BY some it is called politics, and by
others it is called reform still others
refer to it as dissatisfaction with low
ideals. You see, it has highsOundin2
titles when applied to mems gossip, but
under whatever cloak it is criticism
pure and simple
Not all criticism is unworthy and
some small measure is needful and
leads to Improvement. The one thing,
however, we need to learn is that it is
human to err and that mistakes and
failures are the common heritage, the
universal experience Of our kind.
If Paul had to confess by just view
of his own mistakes and failures that
he at the close of his brave and faith
full fight against the foe within and the
foe without had not yet attained to his
Ideals in Christian concept and Chris
tan character we likewise ought to be
humble and not too prone to criticise
and condemn our fellows. Christian
conviction is or may be thing of in
slant action. but Christian character is
a thing Of cultivation and slow growth
at the very best.

good butter of choice quality could all
ways be sold at fair price. The fact
has also been demonstrated that there
was much to learn in making good but4

management Of the milk were essential
in producing the choice article. There
has been a wonderful advance in metht

Farm MANAGEMENT,

The farmer reduces the value of his
own labor by keeping inferior stock Oh
failing to secure large yields of crops
as the higher the prices and the greater
the production the better the remun
Grafton for the labor bestowed. There
are periods when the farmer cannot
perform work in the fields, for which
reason he should aim to get his crops
under shelter as soon as possible, In
order to do some kinds of work which
can be performed inside the barn.

Best Sizes of Trees to Plant.

We have always had the best success
with planting out the medium sized
tree In apples, cherries and plums we
would rather have a two-year-old tree,
to 6 feet, that is thrifty than any
other size Oftentimes the larger trees,
6 to feet do we'll when the conditions
are favorable, but if the conditions are
not favorable, following the transplant
ing of the trees of this size, they often
get the backset from which it takes
several years to recuperate, and the OBJ
lection of planting out very small trees
is that they are much more liable to be
injured by rabbits and broken down by
cultivation than the larger size.-TWen-
tieth Century Farmer.

REFORM FOR MAN.

By Rabbi Schanfarber.
The moral regeneration of mankind
will never ensue until we get a moral
regeneration of the individual. The
merchant the manufacturer, the stock
broker must come to feel a deep sense
Of their personal responsibility and
leave off their dishonest, roobtng ways.
The man of wealth must not use his
possessions as a power to crush, but as
a lever to uplift.
The man of poverty must make an
opportunity of his poverty and by his
persistence and energy rise superior to
the untoward circumstances that CON
front him. The men of knowledge, OF
rank and of station must not use their
superior gifts to separate themselves
from the rest of mankind and thus
form a new caste system, but they
must come to feel that these blessings
have come to them to be used in the
service of man and humanity and as
On incentive to make them feel their
kin and kinship with the whole world.
The lawyer and the physician should
q sk themselves as to the morality Of
their professions and do naught that
would drag their name into the mire
of unprofessionalism, Of duplicity, Of
sleight of hand and sleight of mouth,
of trickery and deceit. The minister
should ask himself whether he in his
nriyate life seeks to realize the high
thoughts and lofty ideals which he
holds out as the redemptive forces of

If possible scatter the enlargement
so as to avoid opening it. A stimulat-.

two ounces of tincture catharides, six
ounces of tincture capscum, one pint of
compound soap liniment. Mix up and
apply to the parts daily until sore, then
withhold for a few days and begin
again. A cheaper liniment would be
four ounces of alcohol, four ounces Of
eucalyptolin and pint of water in the
same way.

The Kansas Experiment Station says
very truly, in a bulletin: Cleanliness is
the first law which should be observed
by every man who in any way manufac-
lures or handles dairy products Any
condition which will promote this end
effectively should be established. The
simpler these conditions can be made
the better. Unclean dairy utensils are
among the greatest sources of contains
ination of milk. This contamination Is
due to the presence of undesirable bac4
terra. The undesirable bacteria are
those that produce taints in milk, and
which exist principally in filth lodged
on the surface and in the crevices Of
dairy utensils. They are minute Organ4
isms which have the power of multiplyl
ing very rapidly under favorable con-
ditions.

Feeding the Young Calf Milk.

A dairy farmer of experience gives
his plan of teaching young calves how
to drink milk without trouble, and says
in the Tribune Farmer that he lets the
calf stay with the COW a few hours
only, then he milks the COW in few
hours after removing the calf and puts
the bucket Of warm milk to the calf's
nose SO as to touch it, and In minute
or two it will drink, and the work is
done. The calf has now learned to
drink like other animals, and the trouble
of feeding milk to calves is over. The
mistake usually made is in allowing
young calves to run with the cow sew
eral days, and so it has learned to suck,
and it is hard to teach it any other
way.
