Man From Kansas Makes an Effort to Present the Name of Bryan, but ls Escorted From the Hall and Nearly Receives Fist Blows.

Chicago, July 30.-In taking the Independence party convention Charles A. Walsh of Iowa was received with cheers. He made speech, saying among other things that We have talk en the step that brings us together, united in a heaven blessed cause The path of duty lies straight and we'll de- fined before us. We cannot neglect 10 follow 1t and retain our self respect.
 "For the last time the people have been tricked. The hour has struck, and the people themselves are in com mand. The awakening is betokened by our presence in this hass today
 They revile us, joke and laugh scornfuly; they say we have gone astray in pursuit of false gods and have departed from our own faith l say it is not so. It is we who have stood steadfast.
 And there stands the National In dependence party today. We have not retreated Men of the old parties. it is you who have fallen behind Gone on, come on.' we cry to the cap ture of the redoubt of special privilege and self interest.

The Tariff.

The Tariff.
 We demand revision of the tariff not only by the friends of the tariff, but by friends of the people. and de- clare for a general reduction of tariff duties, with just consideration for the rights of the consuming public. and of established industry. There should be no protection for oppressive trusts which sell cheaply abroad, and take advantage of the tariff at home to crush competition. raise prices. con trol production and limit work and wages.

The Recall

 We demand for the people the right to recall public officials from the pub lie service. The power to make off cials reside in the people, and in them also should be the power to unmake and remove from office any official who demonstrates his unfitness or be- trays the public trust.

Corrupt Practices at Elections.

Of next importance, in destroying the power of selfish interests and the corrupt political bosses whom they control. Is to wrest from their hands their main weapon, the corruption fund. We demand severe and effect i've legislation against all forms of corrupt practices at elections and ad. Vocate prohibiting ,.e use of moneys at elections except for meetings, lit erature and the necessary travelling expenses of candidates. Bidding for votes. the Republican and Democratic candidates are making an outcry about publicity of contributions, although both Ire Republican and Demacrotic parties have for years consistently blocked every effort to pass a corrupt practices act.

Corn ground is one of the best
places for the manure. A top dress
ing of only five or six loads to the
acre will show good results. A thin
coat over a large area will bring
greater returns than a heavy coat
over small area. The fact that the
spreader can spread a load over a
much larger p7ce and much more
evenly than can be done by hand is
strong argument for its use. No
other tool on the farm gives us more
satisfaction. We also like to give
thin places in the meadow a light
coat of manure in the spring. We
keep all the manure on the farm
under cover. What is not hauled out
this spring will be used this fall to
top dress the meadows and wheat
ground.

Sore Neck and shoulders.

A little care right now in properly
handling the horses when they are
soft will save a whole lot of trouble
after awhile, and it will save the
poor beasts a great deal of needless
suffering. The spring seeding sea.
son is the hardest time on the horses
shoulders and neck, because the flesh
is soft and easily bruised, and the
dust seems to irritate now more than
any other time during the year. BY
carefully hardening the team to their
work, their shoulders will soon be-
come firm, and pads will not be neces-
sary. In fact, collar pads are a nui-
sance. They are hot and soon be-
come gummed up with dirt and sweat,
and will cause irritation easily. Use
a close-fitting, well-made leather col
der. Break in new collar on a
horse as you would break in a new
pair of shoes, and then after that
particular collar has become set to
the animals shoulder, never use it
ON any other horse. The changing
about of collars and harness is not
good thing. Fit bride, collar and
tugs to suit each horse, and you
will find that the team will work
much more willingly, and without
any worry. Even the best fitting coll
lars need daily attention. Keep the
collar clean. Scraping the collar.
with a penknife is not good thing,
because it destroys the smooth sur
face and is apt to leave ridges. One
other thing. We use riding cultiva-
tors and other machines or imple-
ments with tongues. These are all
hard on the neck of the team, unless
the collar fits so snug that it cannot
slip up and down with every move
ment of the tongue. Then be sure
to set the harness so that the draft
comes direct against the shoulder,
and not too low or too high.-Epito-
mist. IT,.

Very Important 20 KNOW.

DR.. w. II. Dalrymple, of the Louis
lana experiment station, calls our at
tention to differences between cane
molasses and beet molasses for stock
feeding which are important, but not
generally understood. Beet molasses
contains large quantities of residual
salts, which produce various derange-
ments OF the animals system IL fed
freely or long. On the other hand,
cane molasses does not contain these
elements in sufficient quantities to in
jure the animals health. In fact, its
effect is quite the reverse, as rule.
Cane molasses can be fed far in ex-
cess of what any of our readers is
likely to feed without the slightest
danger. DR.. Dalrymple reports that
as high as thirty pounds a day have
been fed to horses without i'll effect,
and that on forty-seven plantations
from which he has heard the average
is about ten pounds a day per horse.
AS the feeding of molasses is extend
ing 1t will be well for feeders to keep
in mind this important difference be-
tween the beet and the cane product.

Temperance Notes.

In local option the opponents OF the
saloon have found their most ef-
fective weapon. II still retains its
hold in the cities.
A good deal OF the spirit of rs ap-
pears to have cropped out In the IL
linois women who have enlisted to
conquer the demon rum.
The anti-saloon forces claim that
in the recent elections In California
they won IN two-thirds OF the towns
in which the saloon question was at
issue.
The government of Roumania has
projected new liquor law, under
which the right to sell drink will
pass into the hands of the local COM
munal authorities.
Tho Chicago Great Western Rail-
road Company, indicted last winter onl
two counts charging sale OF liquor
on Its trains and which pleaded guilty
TO one indictment In Iowa. has paid
fine OF $500.
The almost uniform fate of the
saloon when presented as local
issue In the country districts raises
the expectation that 1t Will eventually
succumb to the more slowly aroused
moral sentiment Of the larger centres
OF population.

THE LEGEND OF THE cowsL1p.

There was a time, long ago, when
the cowslip had no golden blossoms.
To be sure, she wished to have them,
but as she did not know how to bloom
she contented herself for one summer
with her rich dark leaves, and in
autumn fell asleep with her feet
curled close and warm underground
and her head tucked beneath the
cover which her mother had provided.
But one night she woke with a
little shiver and said, Mother, I'm
cold" and her mother hastened to
cover her with a gayly colored
blanket of leaves, after which she
slept many days and nights, until
frosty. starry hour came, when she
stirred little and whispered, moth.
er, I'm cold"
Then her mother covered her with
a white blanket, soft as down upon
the mother birds breast, and our
cowslip slept softly, but soundly,
many weeks.
One May, morning she heard de-
lightful rustling all around her,
whereupon she nestled in her bed, not
knowing that the rustic was caused
by the whispering of her companions
underground, who, like her, were
Just awakening from their happy
dreams, pushing out their white feet,
and stretching up their tiny hands,
as you have seen waking babies do.
Then she heard robin sing; but
as the earth still covered her, the
song was but half understood, and to
hear better, she lifted her head high
enough for a yellow sunbeam, who
had been looking everywhere for her,
20 see her.
She remembered both the sunbeam
and the robin. and so glad was she to
see them both, that she laughed a
low, sweet, "Ha, ha. ha, hal" and
there she stood in full bloom. every
ha-ha having become smiling, sum
ny-hearted blossom.
or course, she was amazed, and
hung her head In sweetly. modest
fashion, as do cowslips to, this day;
.or since that happy springtime not
one OF the family has forgotten to
laugh itself into golden bloom, when
It hears the robin and sees the yellow
sunbeam Of merry May. From the

The Interpreter of Life.

Jesus is the interpreter of life. He
holds the secret of the life which is,
as we'll as of the life which is to come.
We don't know how to live, and we
will 90 on laundering and wearing
ourselves out until we take Him as
our eXemplar.
The fever of life is the result of our
experiment with the things which
ought to make for our happiness.
Somehow We cannot get the right
proportion, and instead of receiving
Joy and peace and a larger life from
our use of the mixture we find our
selves weak and feyerish, and sick at
heart Let US go to Him, and take
His life for our example. Let US
note what things He counted precious
and what things He rejected as harm
full to the soul.
Let us accept Him IS the way, and
the truth, and the life, and He will
enter the room in which we are now
lying sick of the fever of life, and He
will take us by the hand and lift us
up, and fill us with new life for
service to His glory and salvation Of
our fellow men. Rev Percy 7. Or

Work the Ground.

There is economy in putting in all
the work possible on the ground be-
fore planting the seed. A we'll
plowed, well-harrowed and pulyer-
lied field is exactly the right condi-
tion to start the seed. Good seed
is hard TO kill, but tie more congo
NAL terminating conditions we give
1t the quicker will 1t start. A sue
cessful corn grower says: II would
rather have one good days work put
upon corn field before the seed is
planted than ten days after the seed
starts growth" Clear the ground of
all trash and stalks possible; follow
the plow with the harrow and keep
the seed-bed mellow, Ground hand

than poorly titled land, and conse-
quently, the seed will not be so apt
to rot in the ground.-Indiana Far

LAZY BOYS INVENTION.

The long handled shovel has made
over 100000 for its inventor, and
the inventor was a lazy, shiftless boy
Of seventeen, named Reuben Davis,
whose father lived in Vermont at the
time. He set Reuben to digging dirt
and loading it on wagon, and the
short handled shovel made the boys
back ache. One afternoon when his
father was away, he took out the
short handle and substituted a long
one, and found the work much cas-
Ter.
When the father reached home
Reuben got a licking, but after the
old man had used the shovel himself
he saw that 1t was a good thing and
got 1t patented. They are now man
ufactured almost by the Million
American Boy.

How to Conquer Sin.

Sin begins in the heart. If the
thoughts are pure the life will be
blameless. The Indulgence of sinful
thoughts and desires produces sinful
actions. When lust hath conceived
1t bringeth forth sin. The pleasur-
able contemplation of sinful deed is
usually followed by its commission.
Never pause and consider the
pleasures and profit of any sin. Close
your mind against such suggestions
at once, as you would lock and bolt
your doors against robber Let this
one thought, 1T is wrong" end all
dalliance. If Eve had not stood par
leying with the devil, and admiring
the beautiful fruit, earth might have
yet been a paradise.
No one becomes a thief, fornica-
tor, or murderer at once. The mind
must first be corrupted The wicked
suggestion must be INDUCED and re-
volved in the thoughts until it loses
the hideous deformity and the antici-
pated gain or pleasure comes to out
weigh the evils of the transgression.

Gods Protection Of His Children in

Gods Protection Of His Children in
Peril--(Psa. "a; Luke ~. 6-12.
Psa. "a. This psalm is crowded
with meaning for those who need to
learn confidence in God 1t has sprung
TO the lips of uncounted servants OF
God in times of persecution and per-
plexity, for it voices the deepest feel
ings of those that have learned how
to trust God in the hard places and
in the dark places 1t is a catalogue
of the privileges which belong to those
whose confidence is in Him who re-
deemeth the souls of his servants.
Luke -. 6-12 If n man will con-
fess Jesus Christ before men, the con-
fession may seem to get him into trou-
BILE, but his Master is pledged to con-
fess him before the throne of God.
That means that no real harm can
come to him; for when a man is In the
thought of God, and Is doing Gods
service. all Gods forces are under
compulsion to render him aid and
comfort. 1t has been seen in other
studies of this series that this does
not mean any cheap protection from
merely superficial hurts. It means
ehob uVNPSA NAO
protection of the soul. But If a man
denies Christ, he himself will be de-
MED In the presence of God. What
does that mean? It means that he
is cut off from all the resources which
save and protect and hold secure. The
sinner is adrift in the world, with no
one responsible for him, no one In
helpful sympathy with him, no one
who can offer him any real aid. He
has linked himself with the forces Of
confusion, and nothing but confusion
can come into his life. These things
are not arbitrary; they are natural
causes. If 1t were not so. If a man
who confessed Christ were abandon.
ed, and one who denied him we're pro-
tected, the whole world would tumble
into moral chaos before night.

to go at it,"
If stand of alfalfa is the thing
you are after, and do not care much
for a grain crop from the land this

then plow it under, and harrow it
frequently, up to say the middle of
May. Then roll and harrow it. Then

"Reioice in the Lord. -

Why should we not rejoice in the
good things of God? If the day is
pure and serene, we enjoy it's glad
ness. Why should we not rejoice in
the serene light of truth that shines
from heaven upon us? We find joy
in the presence and cheerful greeting
of our friends. Why should we not
look up to heaven, whence so many
pure and most loving faces look upon
us with divine affection, and with
most tender desire to cheer and help
us?
Having an almighty and most low
ing Father, in whom we live and
move and have our being, let us re-
joice in Him. Having a most loving
Saviour, who has made Himself our
brother, and feeds us with His life,
we ought surely to rejoice in Him.
Having the Holy Spirit of God with
us, making us His temples, and pour
ing His love into our hearts, we ought
certainly to answer His love and re-

A correspondent of the Jersey Bull
letin gives the following as the ra-
tion he is feeding his cows, with ex-
cellent results he says:
We are milking twenty-five Jerseys
and weighing the milk of each COW
and testing for fat every month. They
are doing finely this winter; in fact,
never did better--are giving an aver
age test of better than 81 per cent.
fat. We have been feeding grain
ration composed of the following:
200 pounds dried distillers' grains.
$50 pounds corn meal.
100 pounds cottonseed meal.
so pounds fax meal.
Mix, and feed 90O-pound cow,
giving from eighteen to twenty
pounds of milk per day, about six
pounds of the mixture, together with
twenty pounds of roughage, COM
posed of mixed hay, oat hay and
corn clover. We increase or diminish
the grain ration according to the
amount of milk the COW is giving and
her individual requirements.
BY taking advantage OF the mar
ket in the fall, we were able to put
this grain ration together for about
$1.40 per hundredweight, which is
very low for a ration containing
over twenty-seyen per cent. digestible
protein, together with the standard
requirements of carbohydrates and
fat l have been feeding this ration
for nearly year and a half and I
have never fed anything that seemed
to give better results, both at the
pail and in the general health and
condition of the animals.
Cottonseed meal is valuable feed
for milk and butter production. At
the South Carolina station it was
found that cottonseed meal when fed
in conjunction with good corn silage
may be fed to the extent of from five
to six pounds per COW daily without
Affecting the health of the animals
lin fact, keeping them in an un-
usually good state of health. Cows
fed exclusively on this diet for a
period of five months exhibited no
craving for dry roughage, but always
preferred silage to good hay. More
milk and butter fat were produced
during that period than during any
corresponding period. 1t is the con.
clusion OF the station that cottonseed
meal and corn silage form the cheap.
est dairy feeds available for the dairy.
men of South Carolina.
The Virginia station concludes tha,
as cottonseed meal when pure con,
tains larger percentage OF dlgestlble
protein than gluten meal and is much
richer in fertilizing constituents and
can be fed with equal satisfaction
for the production OF butter and mill
Il should be utilized in the pisss q
the latter.
