Nebraska will be one of the battle
•centers In this national campaign. Ne
braaka la the home state of Bryan.
Because of his nomination for the
presidency, all the hysterical and nerv
•oua mind force of his Nebraska follow
en will be aroused to its utmost ten*
sin from now until election day. So
far ao Bryan’s followers are able to
anako It so, the campaign will be Ben
national. Bryan himself being tho very
-embodiment of sensation, tin his atti
tudes and in his oratorical effects, and
the doctrines which he preaches being
much as to appeal to the hysterical and
nervous mind force of the community,
the'campaign will undoubtedly be one
•of the most exciting ever witnessed In
the country; and Nebraska wilt be tone
of the centers of this excitement. *
Not only is Bryan himself a- breeder
•Of political hysteria on general frip
-dples, In his attitudes and In the ef
fects which his oratory produces, and
"not only is the attitude of the demo
' -cratic party in espousing so suddenly
the free ellver cause, heavily charged
with sensationalism, but populism,
which Is the very essence of eensatlon
mliam, being now merged with Bryan
Ism and this new democracy, the whole

of nil the sensational fads that have

Until recent yean the mind force
1n farming communities has been sup
posed to be phlegmatic In its character,
-•low In action, and more than any other
-class of people, farmers have been
fudged as conservative and deliberate.
For the last few years, farmers,la,
'Nebraska and Kansas have exhibited
the v##y reverse of conservatism to a
"degree almost alarming. People la. th£,
-east, have been unable to account |o|
thh| universal activity of the mind force
In'these western farm communities,
and especially their tendency toward
aensatlonal doctrines.
In 5»e old world the cities lore the
xestlng places of sensation. The unus
tutt mental activity of the farmers of
■Kansas and Nebraska Is undoubtedly
due to the physical conditions; the
■clear, bracing atmosphere, the healthy
and nourishing food, the high altitude
•and the electrical conditions which
spouse the mental force to the utmost
Mission, all combine to make them the
snout active and bright minded people
-an the face of the earth. It Is as Impos
sible for the mind force of Kansas and
Nebraska people to be dull and phleg
■mtlc as It Is for the mind force of the
people of the south to be bright
'Whoever comes from an eastern state

t perfunctory part in giving body to

The present campaign will be excit
ing and Nebraska will be one of the
centers of battle, but let it be under
stood that the bright mind force of
these prairie farmers han passed upon
the sophistries of popuiiem, and it will
be rejected in this year as it was six
years, four years, and two years ago.
The voting population of Nebraska
has been subject to the Bryan windmill
for six years. Every light grain, every
shriveled kernel, and every empty hull
has been blown out into the populist
chaff pile.
The republican wheat which re
mained after tho campaign of elx years
ago, four years ago, and two years ago,
remains still, and there is enough of
it to make a good round majority for
McKinley and protection.

When Hamlet was about to commit
suicide he reasoned with himself as to
whether it was better for a man to be
dead than alive. When Plato showed
him how it Was impossible for him to
destroy himself, that he would live on

be trouble there, just as there is trou
ble here, he. hesitated, saying, "Aye,
there’s tbe rub.’’ ,... .

led hie audiences with doctrines unique
and original. But when they get into
congress, these men of new ideas, un
der the stimulating influence of compe
tition, what neW and yet unheard of
experiments will they not bring forth?
When populism, had control in Kan
sas it enacted stay laws which were
intended to make every borrower a dis
honest repudiator, which drove out of
the state every dollar of conservative
low-rate money and cost the borrowers
of the state 12,000,000 annually in ad
vanced Interest. They defied the laws
of the state and surrounded the state
capital with armed, soldiery. The elec
tion or Bryan and a Bryan lied con
gress may mean to re-enact these Kan
sas scenes at Washington. It is not,
so much the Intent of £**6 free silver
oratpiffc to hie revolutionary that makes
them dangerous, but rather the reck
lessness with which they invent new
doctrines and their Inability to agree
among themselves as to Just what they
do want and as to Just how to bring It
about.
It was two years and three months
from the time Cleveland took Ms seat
until the Wilson bill was passed. It
Will be three years from now before a

Now that the populist party has been
swallowed bodily by the democratic,
party, It la interesting to go back to
Its earlier history and see how far. tg
has drifted from Its original moorings,'
Kansas was Its chief besting place
when it made its famous9 campaign in
• that state six years ago. Then it had
for ita, chief corner stone the doctrine
•that the government should issue un
limited quantities, of paper fiat money
and should loan this money to the
farmers of the country, |2,500 on each
quarter section of land, at two per'cent
per annum. 1 , ' **
This proposition la regarded now an
absurd and impractical even among the"
populist farmers themselves; and yet
only six years ago it was the one par
tlbuler doctrine whloh more than' any*
other was uiked of In the fenner^
meetings and advocated aa a safe and
practical,measure. **
At Uu*t time Frawh McGrath, of Be
lolt, KaS., then the state president of
•tlie Kansas Farmers’ alliance;-was con
tinually deluged with letters from Kan
«« *ad Ne»t«m^tar»erfe Inquiring
a» to the two per cent per annum
scheme. In these letters President Mc
Grath was urged to hurry the matter
forward with all possible haste, and in
ipome of them strong personal appeala
Were made on the ground that the writ-,
Sr’s mortgage was nearing maturity
and that he was exceedingly anxious
to change his rate qf interest from aev
en per cent per annum to two per cent
per annum, and to shift his debt from
some grasping NSw England creditor to
the government itself.
Frank Mo^rath, who ia a strong, self
reliant, practical man, had opposed the
two per cent government loan scheme
In the populist state convention at To
peka. and H was the greediness with
which he saw this doctrine devoured
• I 1 I .***

■ . ..yfyJNi * **• *■ eh»-.<r As*; ■» *.?
I by the populists that made him first
lose judgment in these nervous and
excited people, and it was this deluge
of letters pouring in upon him during
bis presidency of the state alliance
more than anything else that made him
sick of the populist cause and caused
him to abandon it, which he did in ths
following year.
Talking to a friend of this matter,
be said: "Many of theee letters were
pathetic. They urged that the two per
cent government loan proposition
should be crowded forward to comple
tion with all speed, and many of them'
desired reply by return mail that they
might know just when to expect the
money. It was pitiful to see a com
munity of honest, well-meaning men
so carried away on so flimsy and un
reaeonable a proposition.”
About that time, through an inter
view in the Kansas City Journal, Frank
McGrath gave it out that he despaired
of success for the Farmers’ alliance as
soon as he saw that into the new move
ment was drifting all the hysterical and
nervous mind force of the country.
He saw that this two per cent govern
ment loan proposition Was greedily
seised by these nervous and excited
men. He knew that, though the fal
lacy of the scheme would soon ba ap
parent, other financial schemes equal
ly catchy and equally unpractical
"would be suggested from time to
■time, and by the appeal of theee
■datchy doctrines and by the ap
peal to class prejudice the weaker
and more hysterical part of the peo
ple world be gathered together by de
signing leaders into one vast army of
ixclted and unreasonable men, and he
feared that such a condition might be
the beginning of the end of the re
public. ‘ >!
g What Frank McGrath feared six
iyears ago has come to pasn All 'the
hysterical mind force of the American
people has been aroused by these catchy
doctrines and organized into one
mighty impulse to do—what? Does it
know What it will "do? ; Jiist no% this
Impulse Is for free and unlimited coin
age of silver. Six years ago It was for
the free and unlimited coinage of gov
ernment farm loans. What wUl it de-,
mand next year? Should it get into
power, this impulsive mind force, when
will it enact this ffee coinage law?
When Bryan is elected and when his
triumph has swept into thb hfttfnai
congress ill these nervous and unsta
ble minds, when will they agree on a
|tee coinage law? And what other dan
gerous and unpractical measured’ will
be gathered in by this mighty drag net,
this organization of disorganized mind
force, this aggregation of visionary and
unpricticsi men? I ’ i / ]

T this time ©f year
it is somewhat
difficult to keep the
milk that goes to
the factory in
prime condition,
where it is strained
into large delivery
cans, seventy - five
to eighty pounds to
the ean.unless thor
oughly aerated as
It goes into the can, or is afterwards
done, il can hardly be kept In lit condi
tion by the use of water alone, writes
C. H. Everett In Wisconsin Agricul
turist. It may seem to be sweet in
the morning, as it starts for the fac
tory, but if it has far to go, and is ex
posed to the hot sun on the way, or if
the morning’s milk is added to the
milk of the night before, by the time
It reaches its destination it Is not good
milk, and it is not to the interest of
the patron, especially If it be a co
operative factory, to have the milk in
any other than prime condition. I do
not know of a single farmer in my
neighborhood besides myself that uses
the aerators; some of them set the cans
in the stock tank over night, but that
'method is frequently of no benefit, as
the water in the tank this hot weather
Is often nearly as warm as the milk.
And is really' a detriment, as the milk
la kept warm tnrougnoui
and more than that the covers are re
moved from the cans and the foul odors
of the barnyard find their way ln*.o
the milk. Others use a small tank
'through which the water flows from
the pump to the stock tank. That
Method is better, but necessitates ex
ercise at the pump handle many a
night when there is no wind to turn
Sie wheel, and the farmer Is tired and
Shklous for his well-earned rest,so that
the milk is often neglected. Some men
strain the milk Into the delivery cans
mid allow it to set In the stable dur
ing the night. If I were boss at the fac
tory I would send such milk back; it is
not lit for butter nor cheese. It seems
strange to me that men will resort to
'all methods but the one that Is the
'cheapest, the easiest executed, the one
'that will give the best results and re
turn the greatest benefit. A milk
aerator does not cost much, say $2; it
Ifits the top of the delivery can, the
Strainer fits the top of the aerator, or
{can easily be made to. Set the can in
•the pure air, pour the milk in at the
'top, It runs through ' in fine small
streams, and every particle comes in
'contact with pure air. When handled
jln this way it requires but little water,
land much of the time not any. The
milk Is always sweet and wholesome.
[Bun the morning’s milk through In the
same way. This is very easy to accom
jpllsh. No extra work but to wash the
'aerator, and no worfy and bother
about the milk. The man who draws
the milk will not have word that the
butter-maker says your milk was sour
and he wouldn’t take it, Milk aerators
are made by all firms of dairy supply
goods. An aerator that will do fine
work may be made by fitting a small
tin tube on to a common house bel
lows, such as is used to start a fire.
Have the tinner make a tube two feet
long that will fit the nose of the bel
lows tightly. When the can is filled
with milk Insert the tube clear to the
bottom and work the bellows vigorous
ly for a few moments. This will drive
pure air all through the milk. Re
peat the operation in twenty to thirty
minutes. Have a cork for each end of
the tube; fill it with boiling water and
shake well to wash it. These simple
things put into practice often make
men successful. Another reason milk
Is often in bad condition cqines from
filthy cans, improperly made and
washed. Cans should be emptied lust
as soon as they arrive from the fac
tory, and not allowed to stand in the
Not sun full of sour milk until night.
They should be thoroughly washed
With cold water and then scalded with
boiling water, after which they are
ready to be placed in the sun. When ;
buying cans it is well to examine them
, inside, and if there are open seams
itake them to the tinner and have the
.{seams filled with solder.
Indigestion nnd Cholera.
The Farmers’ Review frequently re
ceives from its readers reports on the
diseases of their fowls, in which chol-.
era is spoken of. Now, we would like
to ask this. “How do you know it is
cholera?” It is not to be doubted that
in a majority of cases the disease that
is called cholera is nothing but indi
gestion, The two are so much alike
in many of their symptoms, that even
|the scientists connected with the Bu
reau of Animal Industry at Washing
ton have been mistaken sometimes and
j have experimented for cholera with
i fowls sick with indigestion. This may
not be the case today, but it was so
some years ago, at the beginning of
their work in that line. If veterinar
ians can be fooled by the symptoms,
what can we expect of the ordinary
farmer and poultry raiser? It is a
very excusable mistake.
• • •
Now, we are convinced that indlgee
I tion is a trouble that carries off a great
; many fowls, and is due directly to a
too severe system of feeding. The di
gestive organs qf the birds are not
capable of sustaining the tax put upon
them for a great many months. In
their wild state the birds eat part
s grain, part insects, part leaves and
grass, so that the work required to di
gest them is comparatively light. But
l in a domestic state the birds find more
: *-'r* : - . ■ •
.... . • -j-t' - f..'! i ■ • • • « > , ■■■■ ■ \
work put upon the same organa. They
are fed corn, oat*, wheat, rye and bar- '
ley. The work of grinding done by j
the gizzard must be very great In the
course of a year. The glands must j
also work to their highest capacity to *
furnish the solvents necessary to put ;
the food In a condition where it can be |
used for the elaboration of blood, j
This we think is largely the cause of
Indigestion, since exhaustion ia any
animal must lead to indigestion as a
partial result.
• • •
The indigestion first makes itselt
manifest in the fowl by the suspension
of activity by the organs of digestion.
It is not at that time noticeable by
the farmer, who, if he notices any
thing, will see only a disposition on
the part of the bird to rest and refrain
from activity. The comb is still red,
and the feathers are smooth. ’ The
organa have ceased active work from
.exhaustion, the food becomes often
times Impacted in the digestive canals,
and this is called constipation. As a
of the organs recommence activ
ity, the residue of the food is ex
creted, but in a form that Indicates
great derangement of the organs. The
constipated condition ia followed by
diarrhoea, and moat frequently the
°7“er °f th» Poultry declares that his
Diras have cholera and wanta to know
what to do for it. Some nostrum la
recommended, and. he begins to use it,
without, however, stopping the feed
ing of the grain ration. If the bird
gets well, the organs are again asked
to undertake- for another year the
enormous task of grinding grain and
elaborating blood from the same ma
terials that caused the trouble at first.
• • *
nave the run of the farm
should not be troubled with Indiges
tion In the summer time, since they
are enabled to live largely on grass
and insects, thus lessening the tax on
the digestive system. And it is a fact
very noticeable that such fowls are
seldom afflicted in the manner men
tioned. On such farms the trouble
comes in late winter or early spring.
On farms where the birds are kept shut
up through the summer months and
on all farms in the winter, the rem
edy would seem to be to feed cooked
food for a part of the ration.
* * *
The cooking does not perhaps add
to the digestibility of the food in the
way of getting mord from it or of do
ing the work in less time, though this
is doubtless sometimes the case. The :
benefit lies in the way of lessening the
aggregate work to be done by the or
gans of digestion. It is evident that if
the food is fed in a cooked form the
force to grind it in the gizzard will be
nil. ' This leaves so much more force
to be applied in other directions.
Cooking food need not be an expensive
affair. There is no necessity of put
ting the kettle on the stove and stand
ing over it to keep the meal or ground
feed from burning down. If the quan
tity is more than a gallon, it will be
easy to cook it quite thoroughly in an
other manner. Heat the water to a
boiling point, and see that it is boiling
not only in the middle of the kettle,
but all over. This gives the total
liquid a heat of 212 degrees. This
water poured into the mess to be
cooked and left standing over night,
will do the work. Those who have
say 60 hens, can heat a teakettle of
water in the morning and scald the
meal to be used at night. At night
they can scald the mess that is to be
fed the next morning. Of course, the
larger the amount of feed to be cooked
the better will the cooking be done,
for the longer will the heat remain at a
cooking point. Such feed seems
greatly to aid the health of the fowls. ;
■ • •
This health question is a great one,
for the number of fowls lost every year
is incalculable. This means the cut
ting down of the profits very materi
ally. This in itself is sufficient reason
for every progressive farmer owning
some kind of an appliance for heating
water for the use of the stock. It is
cheaper to keep the stock healthy than
to cure them after they are sick, and
this is especially true of poultry..
Doctoring poultry is a very discourag
ing business. Happy is the man who
knows how to keep them in a condi
tion where drugs and medicines are
not needed.—Farmers’ Review.
U* . The Family Horse.
,, A horse that is difficult to find, and
one that is in constant demand, is one
that can be guaranteed to be safe for
family use. At any place where horse
sales are held, one cannot but bo Im
pressed by the large numbbr of search
ers after horses suitable for family use.
For this purpose a horse must hot only
be sound ind good looking, but he
must be absolutely safe in the strictest
sense of the word. He must be afraid
of nothing, and must be possessed of
sense enough to behave under circum
stances which to the average horse
would mean a runaway. He must be
safe for a woman to drive, and in many
oases the woman will know little about
driving and absolutely nothing about
what should be done in .case of an
accident. In view of the dependency
that mrist necessarily be placed on the
family horse, it is not to be wondered
at that horseB suitable for that purpose
are scarce, and also that they com*
mand a high price whenever they are
offered. The only wonder is that some
enterprising man does not make a
specialty of high-class, reliable family
horses.—Horse World.

orders for 1,400 boxes more to be filled

now if filled cheese makers felt at lib

A Wonderful Phenomenon.
The man who should pass through life
without experiencing twinge of Indigestion,
might be fitly regarded as a wonderful phe
nomenon. he doubt if such a privileged
mortal has ever existed. If so, we have
never seen him. But thousands are known
to be daily relieved of dyspepsia by Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters, the popular remedy
for that truly national complaint, as well ae
for fever and ague, debflitv. constipation
rheumatism and kidney troubles.
s What a Broken Chain Qld.
A broken bicycle chain stopped the
operation of an entire street railway
system in Chicago recently. The chain'
parted and fell from a wheel with one
end in the slot of an underground trol
ley line. One end of the chain touched
the trolley wire, and the other re- • ’
mained outside, forming a short cir
cuit. All the cars suddenly refused to _
work. The trouble was finally dis
covered by a track-walker, who saw n
bine flame where the chain and track
were crossed. When the chain was
removed the operation of the cars wae 1
returned.—Exchange.

to disentangle witness. “Where do I
live? W’y, w’ere should I live but in
my own ’ome?” “Well, where is yonr
home?” “This is mv ’ome. of course
