Opposition Brushed Away.

Since the democratic convention of the state of IL
inos passed into history, little has been heard of
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, and his pres-
Dental BOOM
Although it had been said by the deceptive news
agencies of the country with oft reeration that the
convention of Illinois was the bow of promise to the
reactionaries of the millionaire group and the man
the interests had abducted from the peaceful poll
teal pastures of western state, there scarcely
any mention of Mr.. Johnson in the deliberations
of the convention.
The delegation that will represent the democracy
of Illinois in the Denver convention was unanimous
ly instructed to cast the vote of the state for Mr.
Bryan The instruction of the convention quelled
Immediately the incpient outbreak of the money
power against the to whom the nation is
turning in its search for wise and trustworthy
leader
Mr.. Watterson of Louisville, first suggested Gov
ernor Johnson as the promising dark horse of the
anti Bryan faction of the democratic party. Mr..
Watterson says that there is not the shadow of
hope for Mr.. Johnson who was brought too late into
the running. He says Mr.. Bryan is certain of the
nomination and of the election
Within couple of weeks the opposition to Mr..
Bryan that was concocted in the offices of the New
York World and Harpers Weekly has dissolved and
vanished and the Minnesota who permitted
himself to be used by the conSpirators of the golden
circle understands the evanescent quality of fame
appropriated without consent of the people.
The movement secured, perhaps, the backing of
the new York delegation to the Denver convention,
with the discredted Alton B. Parker at its head and
Tammany all through it. 1t matters little what the
New York delegation does at Denver, for whatever
it does will have no effect on the result.
And it should matter little. state party that
entrusts its honor to the keeping of notorious
ganization of office brokers and grafters with
appreciation of political principles is not entitled to
important recognition by national assembage of
conscientious party representatives.
1t is probable that the Mormon church will REIN
force the Tammany opposition to Mr.. Bryan, but the
two combined can effect nothing

mention of an address by Senator Turner.
At the American Society of International Law
former Senator George Turner, of Spokane delv-
cred an address referring to the ncompatbility of
having a duty imposed upon the nation in the mat
ter of treaty obligations without power to perform
it, and contended that although congress had failed
to act in the matter and the fact had raised slight
presumption of doubt to its power to do so.
decisions of innumerabe courts and one decision or
the supreme court clearly indicated by analogy that
the federal government had the necessary power,
and that only necessary for congress to enact
proper laws. "Not only" said he 'has congress
right to enact these laws but it is the duty of the
nation to put its statute books laws giving plen
airy sanction to its treaty obligations"

Protect the Hens.

When warm weather comes we must
look out for the hen lice. | clean my
henhouse out every week all winter
and give a general cleaning twice a
year.
AS the roosting rooms are lined with
tarred paper seldom have many lice,
and the few that there are can be de-
stroyed eby the use of insect powder,
kerosene and whitewash.
In an old building the little red mites
are sometimes worse than lice, these
stay on roosts and in cracks of build
ing during the day and may be de-
stroyed by liberal applications of
whitewash, aided by carbolic acid.
When you set hen, dust her and
the nest with insect powder and keep
a constant lookout for the lice. If any
get on the young chicks, put bit OF
oil or grease on tht chicks head, but
do not grease them all over and then
apply sulphur. try to have the hen
free from lice before the eggs hatch.
1t is not well to put grease on the sit
ting hen as it may injure the eggs by
closing up the pores in shells.-John
Upton, in the Farmers Home Journal.

Manaqement Is Half.

There is as much in care and man.
agement as in the food Keep the hens
busy all day and titen give them
enough to fill the crops at night. In
this way one can have healthy fowls
and avoid many bad habits. If hop
per is used to feed mash, supply light
feed of grain in the litter in the morn
ing; stir it in we'll so that they have
to work to find it. At noon open the
hopper and let them help themselves
until four o'clock, when It should be
closed and the hens fed an abundant
feed of grain. If some grain is left in
the litter they will search 1t out the
next morning. II moist mash is fed
1t should be given at noon and then in
moderation, as the hens are very fond
of warm, crumbly mash in cold wealth
er, and may engorge their crops If
fed too much. Aim to have a constant
supply of fresh water. Do not allow
the fowls to get too hungry but endea-
vor to keep them comfortable, busy
and contented. BY strict adherence to
these rules one should be able to make
strong, vigorous pullets lay well all the
fall and winter.-Poultry Bulletin Of

Alfalfa Yields.

In cooperative tests with farmers at
the Maryland experiment station the
reports received show yields ranging
from two and quarter to seven tons
per acre. One farmer reported yield
of five tons per acre on field of 66
acres seeded twelve years ago. The
results of inoculation tests showed the
value of using alfalfa and sweet clov-
er soil for this purpose.

The average length of hens egg
is 2.27 inches diameter at the broad

eighth of a pound.
Plant standard apple trees 40 feet

trees are well grown they will have
plenty of room without crowding the

Sal soda is excellent for removing
fat and grease from milk pals, cans
and separators, but soap is best for
dirt alone. sal soda is neither pois-
onous nor corrosive. Use with water
in small proportions. !
A mules hoof, being smaller and
tougher than that of the average horse
does not need shoeing unless on hard
roads a great deal. Better not shoe
if confined to work on the farm, unless
used to haul loads on frozen ground.
Sheep manure is the best manu-
and will improve the land faster tn

that made by fowls, which is quit<

Bureau of Animal Industry, says his

Grain With Pasture.

There is no way in which shoat
can be made to gain so fast as by feed
ing corn or other grain in connection
with grass. A little soaked corn fed
daily while the shoats are on clover
puts the animals in marketable con-
dition. Feeders should remember that
no one kind of feed is as good feed
alone as when combined with one or
two other kinds of feed. Both grass
and corn are natural and excellent
hog feeds, but neither one is as good
as when combined with the other.
Corn makes fat very fast when the
system is in a healthy. thrifty con-
dition, and nothing equals grass as
a conditioner.
Grass and corn feeding combined
keeps the animal in good condition
to be marketed at any time after June

Keep the Hogs Clean.

IN no place on the farm are disinfec-

house and yards. Whitewash should
be used about the houses at least once
during the year. Every two or three
weeks the houses, feeding floors,
troughs, etc., should be sprayed with a
disinfectant The tar disinfectants
are the most convenient to use. These
should be used in not less than two
percent water solution. An occasional
spraying or dipping of the hogs in a
one percent water solution should be
practiced.- Witness.
