CURING MEATS ON THE FARM.


l want to warn farmers against
trying to keep fresh meat in hot
weather except in an ice house,
writes j. E. Robey, in American
Farm World. Even then It Is dan
gerous, because when exposed to the
air, it spoils in very few moments,
sometimes.
Meats cannot be kept even in mod
crate weather, but beef may be corn
ed, or pork cured in the following
way, and it will be sweet and whole
some:
For $50 pounds of meat, take one
pound of granulated sugar, one quart
Of table syrup. three ounces OF salt
peter, four ounces of sal soda and
rock salt to make brine that will
float an egg. Use water enough to
cover the meat we'll. Boil and skim
until it is white, then cool until
milk is warm and pour over the
meat. Change the position of the
meat in the barrel each week.
In three weeks. take out the meat
ana Doll the Dnne anu Sklm, ana
one-half of the above ingredients and
when 1t is cool, pour back on the
meat. If pork or dried beef, take
out in two or three weeks and smoke
with cobs or hard wool
If you follow the directions exact.
ly, you will never lose any meat and
will have as fine meat as you can
find on the market anywhere You
must not use barrel salt for 1T has
lime in 1t; and you must be sure to
take your meat out every week and
change it around so that the brine
gets to every part of it.
After 1t is smoked, wrap it in
heavy wrapping paper, sew up in a
cloth and paint it thick with white
wash; cover 1t with chrome yellow,

BREEDING HORSES.

A famous breeder of hunting
horses tells of the rules by which he
was governed in the conduct of this
business. Such rules are likely TO
be largely applicable to the raising
Of the best live stock generally, and
should be known by all those engaged
In such work. Every farmer is ike
ly to be helped by making them his
own. Seven rules are thus given:
~ Determine what it is you real
ly desire to produce. and having done
so, stick to it closely.
(2) Procure a young mother that
has arrived at maturity, and is
healthy, roomy, well-shaped, round,
large-sized, with good temper and
good action; and remember that the
better bred the mare is that possesses
the qualities, the more valuable she
will prove.
81 The dam, as general rule,
has more direct influence on her Off
spring, as regards health and size,
than the sire has.
(D The offspring bred from great
ly dissimflar parents in either size
or character should never be used
for breeding purposes; their offspring
will certainly prove to be mongrels
of nondescript character. That the
parents should be as similar as pos
sible Is a rule the neglect of which
has led to more disappointments than
any other with which am acquainted
go A pure thoroughbred sire that
has produced good descendants should
be selected, and / do not believe a
really good weight-carrying hunter
will ever be bred from anything but
a thoroughbred horse.
(6) The sire has more direct in
fiuence on the bones, heart, tendons
and nerves of the foal than the mare.
CD Breeding too early ds quite in
compatible with hardness of consti-
tuition and lasting qualities. Hence,
/ believe the mare should be at least
four years old before she is put to
the horse.-Home and Farm.

BISHOP POTTER
 STILL IMPROVES
EACH SUCCEEDING HOUR ADDS TO THE HOPE FOR HIS RECON ERY-sHoWs A CONSIDERABLE GAIN IN RECOVERY.

Cooperstown. July 5.-With each suc- ceeding hour the prospect brightens for the recovery of Bishop Potter. His phy- sicians tonight believe that his improved condition warrants a decided hope for a favorable outcome of the case.
 The bishop made gains last night and showed further improvement today.
 Today's morning bulletin was as fol- lows:
 "The improvement in Bishop Potter condition continues. Respiration 2S, pulse 10S, temperature 99
 ''He has had a pretty comfortable night and is resting quietly at the present time, and the indications point to still more i'm provement.

Mr. Bryan Is Pleased With Support of Alabama
 Voters
GOVERNOR GLENN PUTS
 QU|ETUS ID HIS BOOM
Will Not Accept Nomination for Vice Presdent-Moses c. Wetmore Pays Fine Tribute to w. j.
 Bryan-knoWs Him.

Denver, Colo, July 5-(Specal.)-T Alabama delegates to the convention ar rived this morning after three hours stop at the home of MT Bryan, who made them short speech of welcome to the west.
 You don't know" said MT. Bryan, how much 1 appreciate the support you democrats of Alabama have given me-" Nearly all the members of the Alabama delegation are stopping at the Savoy, while Representative Clayton, the con- vention's permanent chairman, is at the Brown Palace
 Every democrat ought to feel good over the outlook" said Representative Hefln tonight. Coming through Ne braska we met scores of republicans who told us they would vote for Bryan this fall and there would be no chance of los ing Nebraska"
 With Henry Clayton holding down the big job of the democratic show, the Ala bamians are strictly "the goods at the convention. The delegation meets to- morrow to select its convention officers These positions are to be provided for: Chairman of delegation, committee on credentials, committee on permanent or ganization, rules and order of business resolutions, honorary vice president of convention, national committeeman, com- mittee to notify president, committee to notify vice president. Governor R. P Glenn of North Caro- lima has put a quietus on the vice pres to1 t.fo
 'I do not believe 1t would be in the interest of the ticket to have a southerner on it." he said And I shall not permit my name to be presented Our delegation are steadfast for Bryan, and believing he will be nominated and elected l shall not place any stumbling block in the way of his success"
 Moses c. Wetmore of St. Louis is here helping to run the convention. "The nom7 ination of Bryan is certain" said Colonel Wetmore. T suppose you want to know whether I think he can be elected Just as sure as am alive, and why? Because no party ever survived panic Because the people know Bryan better now than they have ever known him before, and he has improved wonderfully with acquaint- ance. Because they know he stands for definite issues. Because if they want a Christian gentleman to represent them as President of the United States they can't miss 1t in Mir Bryan. Because he has no bad habits. Because he is straightfor- ward, God-fearing man. Because, aside from everything else he is the greatest democrat q am using the term in It's broadest sense) that there is in this world today. Because you could not get Bryan to make false statement or do anything discredita ble, although the presidency de- pended on it. I have known Bryan inti mately for 15 years and I like him better every time l see him. He grows on one."

ATLANTIC FLEET
 SAILS TOMORROW Every Ship Newly Painted and
 Spick and Span READY FOR THE VOYAGE The Fleet is Said to be in Better Shape Than When it Left Hamp-
 ton Roads-Fire Control
 System.
READY FOR THE VOYAGE

San Francisco, July 5.-Fresh from dry docks, with bunkers full of coal and mag aznes filled with ammunition. newly painted and looking as spick and span as the day they left Hampton Roads, the 16 battleships of the Atlantic fleet are riding at anchor today in the harbor, ready to sail next Tuesday for Honolulu on the second half of the long cruise around the world. At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, two months and a day after it entered the portals of the Golden Gate, at the end of 13,ooO-mile voyage the flower of the American navy, headed by the flagship Connecticut, will steam out of the harbor of San Francisco, under the command of Rear Admiral Sperry, the third command er-in-chief since the fleet sailed from Hampton Roads.
 The fleet will reach Honolulu July Is and remain a week, proceeding to the Antipodes. Elaborate preparations for it's entertainment have been made at Auck- land, Sydney and Melbourne.
 The fleet will reach Manila after visit to. Japanese ports about October 1. Be- fore returning to Hampton Roads, the lat ter part of February, IA months after starting, the Atlantic fleet will have sailed nearly all the seas on the globe and com- pleted the most remarkable cruise in naval history.
 The fleet. according to Admiral Sperry, is In better shape than when it left Hamp ton Roads last December The fire con- trol system. which was only complete on a few of the ships, is now thoroughly in- stalled on each one.
 The places of the Alabama and Maine, which came around South America with the fleet and which sailed from here June homeward bound as a special service squadron, have been taken by the battle ships Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Platform Discussed.

Denver, Col, July 5.-Conservatism has been the prevailing note of the discus sion on the subject of the national dem ocratic platform today This discussion has been indulged in freely among pros pective members of the resolutions com mittee, as well as among leaders of the party generally and MT. Bryan has been quoted as being lin harmony with tine idea-the one radical plank which seems to be conceded will go into the document will be the expression on the subject of injunction as applied In labor disputes.
 Those who oppose strong language on this subject are conceding that their ef- fort will not be potent to prevent the adoption of a plank which will pledge the party to an amendment of the law which will make notice of the issuance of a preliminary injunction imperatlve; also that provision will be made for hear ing of the case before a different judge than the one issuing the injunction and for a hearing of the facts in the case by a jury.
 There promises to be a struggle before the resolutions committee over the uues- tion of an anti-Mormon plank. Four years ago at St Louis. such a plank was made a part of the democratic national platform and an effort is to be made to have it reinstated In that document. For mer United States Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho today made ar active canvass of the situation in behalf of the plank Senator Dubois Is involved in contest for seat in the convention. but he has announced that, however that question may be settled, he will go before the resolutions committee with the anti Mormon plank and bring to bear every influence possible in its behalf.
 Will Oppose Plank.
 It is asserted by the Utah delegation that no such plank will be adopted. Judge w. H. King of Salt Lake City, who has been chosen as Utah's member of the resolutions committee. has the unanimous backing of his delegation in opposition to the plank. His argument is that the Mormon question is dead issue. He asserts that the practice of polgyamy has ceased in Utah and that the only remnant of it lives iIi num- Der of old Norman patriarchs who mar rled their wives long before the prac- tice was declared unlawful and who are not, by their quiet lives, creating rip- pie on the new order of things
 Efforts were made today. the matter being engineered by members Of the New York delegation. to have Mi. Dubois abandon his efforts for an anti-Mormon plank, but without avail.
 H. E. Fuller, legislative representative of the Brotherhoods of Railway Men, will offer the same injunction plank to the resolutions committee that was presented to the republican convention at Chicago.

NEW GOVERNMENT
 IS ESTABLISHED Paraguay RevolutioniSts Report
 ed as Successful NAVElRO IS THE PRESIDENT It is Reported that Old Officers of the Republic Have Taken Refuge
 With Foreign Legations.
 The New Cabinet.
NAVEIRO IS THE PRESIDENT

Buenos Ayres, July 5.--Advices received here today state that the revolutionists have been victorious in Paraguay and that a new government has been established These advices have been confirmed by a dispatch received by the minister of for eign affairs from the Argentine legation at Asuncion, officially notifying the minister that the revolutionary party had succeed ed in overthrowing the Paraguayan gov ernmen. and that several of the Para guayan ministers of state had taken ref uge in the legation. The revolutionists have appointed as president Dr. Emanalio Gonzales Naveiro. He held the office of vice president in the government wh! ;h has just been busted.
 Unofficial dispatches state that the new cabinet includes Manuel Gondra, the Para guayan minister to Brazil; pr. Eusebioa- yala, Dr. Alviro Jara, pr. Adolfo Rigulme and Dr. Manuel Franco.
 These represent a combination of tte two most powerful parties in Paraguay, the liberal and Colorado, and it is be- lieved that their appointment will assure early peace to the country.
 The members of the former government, who included Manuel Benitz, minister of the interior; Cecilio Baez, foreign affairs; General Rios, war; Adolfo Soler, finance. and Carlos Isasi, minister of justice, it Is understood, have taken refuge in the for eign legations.
 Fighting has been proceeding in the streets of Asuncion for some days past, and many of the public buildings have been seriously damaged. Previous esti- mates of the killed and wounded. how ever, have been exaggerated and it is now believed that the number will not ex- ceed 300. It is expected that telegraphic communication with Asuncion will be re- stored tomorrow.

Members of the crew in relating today the story of Baileys escape, said that the watch had gone below for piece of bread when Bailey managed to launch one of the steamers small boats and pull ashore, where he escaped in the woods before a pursuing party in an- other boat could make landing. The Baileys are wanted on the charge of con spiracy to use the mails of tte United States to defraud.

department of the United States govern ment asked the Honduran authorities to arrest the Baieys Myers and Oxley as an act of courtesy and comity. President Davila complied with this request, and the Honduran officers rounded up and arrested all four of the men.
 It was at this juncture that Lieutenant Berry of the New York police department made his appearance. Berry was given the custody of the men. who were placed aboard the steamer Utstein, bound for New Orleans. In some manner Francis C.. Bailey managed to make his escape while the Utstein was still in the narbor of Puerto Cortez, about half mile from shore, which accounts for there being three prisoners instead of four when the Utstein arrived here tonight.
