Who Shall Make Our candidstesa

Why should few men name the
candidates for public office? And does
not the power of these men to name the
candidates give rise to most of the
scandal and corruption in politics?
Governor Hughes of New York is
asking these and similar questions, and
he answers them by recommending
two reforms. First, that there shall be
an official primary ballot, as there is
already ip Illinois and some other
states, under the same laws and con-
troll as the general elections. Second,
that system Of direct nominations
shall be adopted, SO that all the voters
of each party shall have real share In
the selection Of candidates. The direct
primary and its accomplishments were
responsible, last week, for the election
of Democrat as United States senator
by the Republican Legislature of Ore
gon. That may be a recommendation
of the system or otherwise depending
on ones point of view, but 1t shows
that there is a determination on the
part of the common voter to recapture
his political rights from the party
bosses,

Random Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell in
the distance, I knew not where, till a
neighbor said that it killed his calf,
and l had to pay him six and a half
($6.50). bought some poison to slay
some rats. and neighbor swore that
it killed his cats; and, rather than ar
que ocross the fence, paid him four
dollars and fifty cents ($4.50). One
night I set sailing toy balloon, and
hoped 1t would soar till it reached the
moon: but the candle fell out on far
mer's straw, and he said must settle
or go to law. And that is the way
with the random shot; it never hits in
the proper spot; and the joke you
spring, that you think so smart, may
leave wound in some fellows heart.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

In these days OF careless farm help
accidents frequently happen in an orr
chard by which trees become barked
or peeled. Much of the damage may
be repaired by wrapping the injuries as
soon as possible in mixture of fresh
COW manure and clay, equal parts, just
as we,used to do fifty years ago before
science had come to our relief. This
may be held In place by wrapping
strips of gunny sacks about, the trees
and should be applied If possible before
the wood, becomes dry and cracked
from exposure to the weather. Good
results may, sometimes be, obtained
from banking with loose earth that will
pack closely and exclude the air. and
thus prevent the escape Of moisture
from the wood. We would not attempt
to save such trees by bridge grating
as the damaged parts as rule are too
great in length Bridge grating can
be practiced when the damaged parts
are only few inches In length, as IN
the case of trees injured by borers for
example but it is only clumsy subter-
fuge at best and cannot be regarded as
worth the time spent on 1t. One way
to prevent injury is to encase the ends
Of the short single-trees In q shield of
old carpet.

Reach The Goal.

He only attains to success who has
acquired that which he can take with
him up through the silent air to the
throne of God. He only has lived a
life worth vile who, though poor he
may have been as the world calls pow
erty, attains the riches which are eter-
nal. This is the one high goal toward
which every honesthearted man strug-
giles; and this is the one high reward
which every true seeker may gain.
Believe me; IT, you gain that goal and
get that reward, 1t will be because you
have sought it; your life's bark will
never. drift into heaven. You will gain
that heavenly port because all through
life's storms and stresses, you kept ever
your, bark's PROV pointed toward that
desired haven. -- ,,

Sore shoulder, B.e,ss. ssc

Spring Is approaching and the horses
will soon be put into the collars for
hard work. The shoulders and the
neck will be tender and, as usual, the
horse In every respect will be in poor
condition to go into the hard work OF
the soft fields 30 suddenly. He has
probably not been grained much in
preparation for his task Of putting in
the spring crop. His body is covered
with heavy winter coat, which causes
him to perspire easily. The first farm
work In the spring is the hardest Of the
year, and at this time horse is in
the poorest condition to do the work
without injury to himself. The should
ers, the neck, and the back become
bruised and sore.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in seeing that the collar is perfect fit.
A collar which Is too large is more
likely to inJure the horse than one that
is too small. The collar should be
scraped each morning and carefully
cleaned before 1t is again put on the
horse. Before the spring work begins,
it is well to oil the harness and have il
soft and pliable. For the first few days
of hard work on soft ground, the
shoulders Of the horse should be bathed
in cold water every night after the
harness is removed. The horse will be
very sore and tired for few days and
should be given every kind of attention.
Watch the hames to see that the draft
is at right angle with the shoulders. If
1t is too low, the collar will be con-
stantly "kicking up" at the top and
the horse will SOON have sore neck.
If the draft Is too high, the collar will
not rest securely on the lower part of
the shoulder, where the horse is best
prepared to throw his weight. If there
are any calloused Jumps on the horses
or back, they should be care
fully removed during the winter when
his services are not much needed. If
the collar is put on over one of those
''sit fasts," it will have the same result
as man trying to walk With button
in his shoe or bunion on his foot

A rAn1rr bill will be presented

A rARIFF bill will be presented
at the special session of Congress
called for the 18th. of March. The
bill is not fully prepared, although
the Ways and Means Committee
has been working on it for months.
The question is full of difficulties
not to say impossibilities. The
demand for reduction is unmistake-
able, and the stubbornest stand
pattef comedies that something
must be done. On the other hand,
there is the threatened deficit of
one hundred and forty millions for
the present year. Representative
Tawney, the chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee says the
public demand is for a revision
hownward. The Government de-
mand is for revenue, or for a revis-
ion upward. Congress is impressed
that business is paralyzed by the
uncertainties in relation to tariff.
Therefore there is urgent reason to
deal with the situation promptly.
