". DAIEY AND POULTKY. INTERESTINO CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. nTT Sneccaafnl rarmer Operate TliU Dppitrtment of tho FarmA Vow . lllnti ai to the Caro of X4re Block nit Von I try. AKB a building that will hold ,69 cows, cay 28 feet -wldo by 108 feet long and 14- fcot high. Tho first story should bo 10 feot for tho cows, with a 4 foot loft for meal and cut Ut ter. A building or this width and size tan bo built of light tim bers, nay 2 by 4 inch studding, balloon frame. As this roof Is narrow tho rafters can bo light and need no purlins. Board It with noat siding and Uno It or plaster InBhlc. With woll ar ranged windows and air ducts you have light nnd ventilation ns thoroughly un der your control as In tho llvlnB fotfm of your" house. Such a building as this can be jrnt up for one-third tho cost of a G5 by 60-foot bank barn and bo Infinite ly better as a place to house cows. Two objections will probably bo urged against this slnglo purpose bnrn first, that you will need a Inrgo barn nnyhow, for the Btorago of hay nnd grain, nnd, secondly, that it will bo Inconvenient to get tho coarso provender from tho stor age barn to tho cow barn. In answer to tho first objection I can say If now buildings nro to bo nut tin. build them long and narrow, as In the caso of tho cow barn before described, for tho same savins In tho coat of tho smaller sized lumber can bo made. Lumber of what wo call ynrd sizes costs ?12 toJIG per thousand. Sawed bIzcb cost ?18 to 520, nnd qulto largo Btlcks, which have to bo of good pine, may cost $30, Such a building as nbovo Indicated can bo built of ynrd sizes and would not cost ovor half ns much as a square bnnlc barn of thcChcster county pattern of tho same capacity. If your old barn Is good, tako our your basement stnblo3, drop your bays and so Increase tho storage ca pacity. As to tho second objection, every farmer with land enough to put on 40 or 50 cows to 100 acres will surely have a. silo and cut his fodder nnd his buy, nnd with well nrranged hanging tracks can tnl:o his cut feed across his barn yard Into bis cow barn with moro satis faction than In tho old way of taking forkfuls of hny nnd Bhcavcs of fodder through tho dark and narrow entries. An extension of this Idea of slnglo pUrposo barns would suggest n horso barn also, which In many ways would bo prefcrablo to stabling them In tho basements of bank baniB. Wo used to imaglno that great straw sheds wero needed for tho storage of litter, tho shel ter of tho stock and tho protection of tho mnnure. Now wo haul our manuro directly to tho flolds, our cows aro not let out whon thoy roqnlro Bholtor, and tho straw should bo cut Into Inch lengths at the tlmo of thrashing, In which case It can bo housed In one-third tho usual space, nnd actually costs less than to storo It away uncut. Phila delphia Ledger. Western Pnature. One of tho foromo3t considerations with tho dairyman is tho matter of cheap aud effective food. In tho West here, oven at this comparatively early day, tho cry is for moro pasture room. As a matter of fact tho absenco of good pasturage for tho cows at about this time of tho year, as n rulo, Is com plained about a good deal moro in this section than it Is further East whore they havo learned to depend upon something better. It is now conceded by dairymen who havo studied all sides of tho question that tho corn field will furnish moro of tho right kind of food for the dairy cow than will tho pabturo. That Is to say, turn tho pastures into corn fields and clover nnd nlfalfa meadows, thon preparo tho food for tho cowb for every month tho year around, nnd It will bo discovered that milk and butter aro produced at a lessened coat This manner of feeding nccessajlly brings Into requisition tho silo. Hy this means several advantages nro had. It Is possible to feed through a long drouth Just tho same as though tho pastures woro green and without nny increase of cost. It is also posslblo to feed through tho long winter on a milk producing ration that is grown on tho farm and is as cheap as grass itsolf. With tho right kind of ration for win ter feeding it encourages moro of win ter dairying, and consequently greater profits to tho butter maker. This branch of conducting tho dairy is but one branch of what Is known as in tensive farming. It Is found to bo in keeping with the idea of cutting down tho acreago of tho farm, and of putting moro of both brain nnd brawn tabor into thoso acres. This system Is work ing well In practice further east, and It la but a matter of tlmo when it will be found moro thoroughly engrafted into our Western ways. Nebraska Farmer. Amateur Tests. Wo onco knew of a man that bought a good many cows every year for his city dairy. It was before tho advent of tho Babcock test, and for that reason ho was very ox cusablo in using a moro primitive mode. Ho would get the milk of the cow offered for sale and set It over night in a goblet. If it showed a good thick cream in the morning, ho bought the cow, provided her milklug capacity was fairly good. This might do for cows to bo used In a milk dairy, but it would be very unreliable for cowb to bo used in a creamery or for tho pri vate dairy. This, for two reasons: First, some cream Is much moro com pact than others, and a cow whose cream was five-sixteenths of an inch Jfilf thick might really contain less butter - fat than ono four-sixteenths Inches thick. Second, tho cream In oomo milk rises very much slowor than In othor rOf'JV aTB0y l0 tho 8lz0 of th0 but' tor globule. tTnrcrtntntr "f Srnroa.

Years ago, says B. H. Davis In Tho Poultry Monthly, tho poultry business wns not as lucrattvo as It is at tho present time. During tho wlntor months, although our poultry was well sheltered nnd fed and great caro usod 10 iceop tno buildings clean, giving plenty of fresh wnter, etc., wo found nt tho opening of tho sprlrfg wo had no remuneration for our labor, as cost of grain, scraps, potatoes, etc., far ex ceeded tho lncomo of egg3. Wo havo now a better way of feeding, and most excellent results havo fol lowed. Wo feed cut green bones in fair quantity every other dny, and somo of tho tlmo every day. They aro Inex pensive, nnd with a good bono cutter thoy mako when cut fresh every day so nice a food that wo can only liken it to a nlco raro stoak to a hungry man. Tho fowl3 lovo It. Thoy thrive, and tho chickens grow rapidly when fed on It. Tho mineral part of this food gives chlekons mntcrial for their growing bones, nnd for tho laying hens tho shells, whllo tho meat, grlstlo and Juices In those green bones glvo ma terial for the flesh to tho growing chickens and interior ot tho egg in abundance. So now our fowls, instead of being ovorfat in wlntor, nro glvlnff us eegs. Instead of being a sorry looking, de jected, unprofitable lot during tho molt ing period, thoy aro wide awako and strong, and many of them go so far as to glvo us eggs regularly nt this time. Tho grain bill being largely re duced, tho egg yield boing Increased and no loss from sickness, all aid in making our winter and spring record very encouraging, and no ono could in duce us to neglect tho feeding of grcon bono freshly cut at all seasons of tho year. Hllkm. Manly Mile's has this to say of tho abovo named brood: This breed, some times called Silky, or Negro fowlB, havo a very peculiar appearance; their plumage being so unlike that ot other fowls, as to bo scarcely recognized as feathers; whllo tho skin of tho fowl Is a deep violet color, almost black, tho surface bones being of tho samo hue also, which gives it a rather unin viting look when prepared for tho table. Tho flesh, however, is very deli cate and white, and superior to that of many breeds. Tho plumage has a soft, flossy nppoaranco, tho filaments being separate or single, and has been repre sented by ancient naturalists as re sembling wool. In describing this n-a- cullar breed of fowls some say, "Thoy wero covered with wool Instead of feathers"; others say, they were cov ered with "hair llko cats." Theso fowls aro supposed to be na tives ot India, though some say they originated In China. They aro bred In England to some extent. Tho cocks weigh about four pounds, and tho hen about two and one-halt pounds. Scavenger Sheep. The too common opinion In regard to sheep is that they are but scavengers, and fitted only to consume tho weeds and other wastes on tho farm; but out of nothing comes nothing. If there is no proper food, caro and shelter provided, we must expect our sheep to pine away and per ish.

A friond and 1 had planned to tako our wheels nnd , had talked about riding on them part nt il.A ....... i-. ,.- . . ........ bring our machines, 'because tho roads wnich wo would havo to travol wero cxtromely bad. "Woll, wo started on tho boat and In duo tlmo went to our stateroom. My sleep was a bit troubled and toward morning I hnd n drer.m which was so llfellko that It was really a vision. My dream was that I had brought my wheel, having checked It through to Fall Itlver. On arriving thoro I hand ed In my check nnd received n bicycle which somehow I did not notice close ly. I mounted, but had not ridden moro than n third of a mllo when tho wheel .collapsed completely. I cannot im agine a worse smashup. It was tho caso of tho onc-hoss shay ovor again; framo, rims, spokes, pedal crank3, handle-bar, saddle, everything simply molted apart, as If they had been glued with mucllnge. "It struck mo that I must havo some other wheel than my beautiful '05 mod el, so I bent over, to see if tho bicycle really bore tho numbor of my own. Thon I discovered that tho pieces ly ing on tho ground wero those of a rusty, clumBy old machine of anti quated make. I becamo Indignant at this. Til go right to tho consul of tho L. A. W.' I said to myself, 'and havo him go with mo to tho railway station whore I received thnt wheel. If I, n Btrangor, went nlono I might got scant satisfaction.' "Then It struck mo that I had never Joined tho L. A. W., although I had ttionthn ago decided to do so. So I would havo to fight my own battle, and perhaps, so It seemed to me, lost my $100 wheel simply because I had ne glected to pny ?2 to belong to tho L. A. W. I went to tho baggage-room and thoro my dream ended. Of courso, It didn't matter what happened after that, tho object of tho vision being to convince mo of the need of my Joining tho L. A. W. speedily. On roturning to Now York I did so, and, of course, am extremely glad I did." Cigars had been finished by this tlmo and so a start was made on tho return trip. BOOKS READ BY NEW WOMAN. Cousonsiif or Ituports S!ioivg n CIiihiko In Taste. Does tho "now woman" read a differ ent class of books from her predecessor, tho old-fashioned woman? This Is the query I gavo somo librari ans to answer, and I learned in return that tho new woman does, "I don't moan to say," ono replied, "that every woman who comes in to get a book eschews tho romantic nnd new, but tho surprising fact is that so many actually ask for tho deepest works on political subjects. My assistant and myself wero at first amused, now wo regard It as a significant movement. Tho chango began, I gathered from a consensus of roports, about three years ago ; Blnco then It has rapidly broadened and deepened. All works on sociology nnd political science nro called for as eagerly by ono sex as tho other. Tho favorites seem to bo Prof. Ely's series on political science All governmental questions nro carefully studied, and anything that relates to tho tariff Is popular. "To my mind," said an aged keeper of books, "tho American woman, as sho is represented in New York by her reading, Is developing In a political way marvelously; not that it will havo any effect In helping them to obtain suf frage, but such powers will mako them powers bohlnd tho throne." Tako tho French woman of Do Staol's era and the English woman of to-day they aro amazingly learned in local political meanings. I do not consider that this reading Is an evldenco of tho "new woman," but rather that the Americans do not wish to be behind women of other countries in tholr abili ty to compete intellectually with raon on national subjects. "Yes," said another librarian, "thoro is no denying that women nro calling for heavy political works more every day, but," ho thoughtfully added, "it has long been a question with mo as to their reading them; I think, possibly, tho husbands had sent for them. i:nsllh HtHRO m Sir. limt T1U It.

SLEDGE-HAMMER BLOWS FOR REAL PEOPLE'S PARTY. Tho Uovlntliof llthlncsin ITn Unques tionably llocn Hrought About Iiy Wlno nml .Iiittioiou ItorUlou of Tavlfl Lints UotBliot. F. C, Wheeler of (ho Great Western Tin Plate Company la quoted a3 saying that many tin pinto mills will bo com pelled to shut down within three months or so. He says: "Tho advance in raw materials, as, for Instance, steel, which has gone up $10 a ton, nnd tho lack of an advance In tho finished prod uct tolls tho reason why. A number of millg havo contracts for steel made be fore tho advance began. When these contracts oxplro thoro will be nothing for them to do but closo." In this connection an organ of Mc Klnlcylsm sayn: "There Is a strong or ganization among tin plato men, with headquarters in Pittsburg, now en gaged In tho distribution of literature pointing out tho effect of tho Wilson tariff upon tho Industry. A committee has been appointed to tako charge of the deslrod congregational legislation." it is ns usual with tho beneficiaries of protection. As Bopn as the wind blows a little chilly they run to congress for more protection. Raw materials, "as, for Instance, steel," havo gono up. Whnt else, "for instance?" Not tho metal tin, for that is less than 14 cents a pound (foreign value, for all wo uso is Imported). against 15.7 cents average In 1894 and 20 cents In each of the four preceding years. Tho metal tin la about tho only raw material except steel. Tho only ad vance of any importance, therefore, Is in stool, nnd that is only cent per pound, or less if tho ton referred to by Mr. Wheeler is tho long ton. But the duty under tho present law on tin plate Is 1.2 cents per pound, or considerably moro than twlco tho advanco in tho price of atcel. To be exact, tho advance in steel is $10 per ton, whllo tho duty on tin plato is ?2i per ton, or $4 moro than It was under tho republican pro tective tariff of 1883 . Yet a strong or ganization of tin plate men la distribut ing literature demanding moro tariff. Thoy do not ask for less tariff on the steel, which Is tholr most costly ma terial, for they appreciate the force of Mr. Blalno's remark that tho tariff ben eficiaries must all hang together or thoy will all hang separately. But thero aro foctB which indicate that more tariff will not make tho tin plate men entirely happy. A statement has been going tho round3 of tho press of lato that cans mado of paper pulp were taking tho place of tin cans in somo branches of tho canning industry. And now tho American Agriculturist announces that glass packages aro to take the place of tin cans. It states that a now vacuum process of putting up frult3 in glass has already been intro duced from Europo among packers on tho Pacific slope. This process is an Im provement in more than ono respect, but especially in that It Insures tho who'esomencsa of the fruit or tho ar tlclo canned without increasing . tho cost. With the introduction of these sub stitutes for tin in tho packing indus- r tries thero will be a vast falling off in tho demand for tin plate, and it will not bo possible to forco up tho price of that article by means of a tariff tax. What tho caso really seems to require is an act of congress prohibiting the uso of glass Jars, pulp packages or any other substituto for tin in the canning Indus tries. Such a law would not give un bounded satisfaction to tho makers ot glass and tho producers of paper pulp, but it would be qulto as reasonablo and just ns a law raising the price of tin plate for the exclusive benefit of the producers of that article. Tho strong or ganization of tho tin plato men. with headquarters in Pittsburg, should con sider these things and change the plan ot campaign accordingly. Chicago Chronicle. Importance of tho Klchternth District. The democratic executive committee ot this state is right in holding tho elec tion of a membor of congress in the eighteenth district a matter of vital im portance to tho party not only in tho state but in tho nation. Tho result ot that contest will afford a new indication of whether or not tho voters of this na tion are Inclined to reverse the verdict against tho domocracy they rendered In tho general elections of 1894. Though nn unwlBo usurpation of tho authority of tho national convention resulted in tho incorporation In the eighteenth dis trict of an undemocratic currency plank the Importance of victory is not thereby lessened. Mr. Lane, tho democratic nominee, will not solvo tho currency problem when he reaches Washington, Upon that issue he will stand with an insignificant minority of his own party. The real Issue in the eighteenth dis trict Is tho renewal of confidence In tho democratic party. Mr. Lane's triumph ant election will mean that in a typical congressional district the people have discovered how sorely they were hum bugged by tho lying clamor of republi cans last fall. It will demonstrate that the hard times due to republican profli gacy and foolish monetary legislation aro no longer wrongfully ascribed to the democracy. It will show that credit for tho renowal of prosperity is now given where it is due. to the effects of demo cratic legislation on tho tariff. The state committee will find it worth whllo to fight hard for democratic vic tory in the eighteenth that all these things may be made clear to democrats throughout the state and the union. The confidence already awakened by tho victories In Indianapolis and Chat tanooga will be vastly enhanced by the election of a dempcrat to congress from tho Illinois district which tho republi cans so swoeplngly carried last year. It Is unfortunato thnt tho sudden and deplorable doatli of Cyrus L. Cook, the republican nOmlnco, nnd tho resulting disorganization of his party will glvo tho republican managers a chance to minimize tho significance of the demo cratic victory which was, Ih any event, Inevitable. Chicago Chronicle. llnrrlfton nml MrKlnlcy Tnxrn Certain republican Journnls aro now endeavoring to make the public bollovo that Mr, Harrison took no nart In rimft. Ing tho McKlnloy bill and Is in no way responsible for tho measure. It is not the duty of the executive, though it may bo well for a party lead er, to Interfere with tho action of a com mittee of the houso, but is emphatically his duty fully to examine a measuro perfected by congress and submitted, for his signature. If ho signs a bill he be comes oven moro responsible for it than congress Itsolf, for, possessing tho veto powet;, he has tremendous Influence upon legislative action. It Is now said In behalf of Mr. Harri son that ho know nothing of the McKin loy bill, was Indifferent to It nt all stages of its progress through legisla tion and signed It without examination of ita features, and, therefore, cannot be said to bo responsible for it in any manner. General Harrison mny woll ask to be saved from hla friends. Tho position thoy assume for him with reference to tho McKlnley bill is ono which places him in the attitude of a slipshod execu tive, whoso signature was matter of courso and whoso examination was not oven perfunctory. But Harrison's apologists forgot that after the people had repudiated McKin leyism In tho memorable elections of 1890, Harrison, in his annual message to congress, defended McKlnlcylsm nnd advised congress that the people wore ignorant of tho blessing the repudiated measure would bo to them and that no attention should bo paid to their action. He committed himself completely, of fensively and unwisely to the McKlnley plan of high taxation at the custom houses. Now York World. OlTtJ Up. A few day3 beforo tho lato municipal election in Indianapolis the Journal ot that city, owned by tho Now family and the orgnn of Benjamin Harrison, said: "All ovor the country a Taggart vic tory would be claimed as a democratic victory and declaration that the voters of Indiana already repent that they rolled up tho largest majority in tho history of tho state for the republican tlckot in November, 1894." Taggart was elected. Tho result should be accepted as tho Harrlsonian newspaper nnd po liticians of Indianapolis interpreted It in advance. Showing SIrms of Alarm. When tho returns aro all In from tho elections tho republicans will probably realize that victory In 1S9C will not be quite so easy to achieve as many re publican statesmen and newspapers havo boon predicting. The notion that thoy can elect anybody, on any sort of a platform, next year, which has been prevalent in somo republican circles is absurd nnd mischievous, and tho quicker tho party gets rid of It and takes an intelligent view of the situa tion the better it will feel after the elec tion thirteen months hence. Ex. Wanted No Military 1'aracle. Now York Journal: President Cleve land's declination of the offer of a mil itary guard on his projected trip to the Atlanta exposition is sensible and praiseworthy. The exposition is dis tinctly n nonmilltary enterprise; It is a celebration of tho triumphs of peace, and tho martial features which appear in its display aro mere Incidents of its spectacular arrangement. The idea that tho nation's chief executive should bo attended on his travels by an nrmed bodyguard is preposterous, and Mr. Cleveland is entitled to tho thanks of tho public for repudiating it. Ite Will Demand. The McKinleyites have finally statea the case as thoy understand It. They will demand in tho republican platform of 1890 a goneral rovislon of the tnriff but no Increase, except that the duty on wool shall bo restored. They will go Into tho campaign on a platform of higher prices for clothing, carpets and hats and caps. A platform and candi date running on the issue of higher prices tor necessaries of life will not get far in tho campaign. Kxportt. Experts of manufactures this yeai will be J17.000.000 moro than ever be fore in the history of United States commerce. Even this little gain in favor of Araorican Industry under the democratic tariff act of 1894, which has been In operation but about a year, Is satisfactory, and is not encouraging to a revival of McKlnleyism. Deiuncratla (lalns Mean l'roiperltr. Anderson (Ind.) Democrat: Tho country's gains from tho republican panic will determine tho proportion ot democratic gains in the fall elections. The revival of business Is due to demo cratic legislation. The greater tho re vival the greater will bo tho democratic victories. Ohio Republican Matfeainnce.
