That, how Ser, is duo to past, not proaont, condi Wons. Therefore, the fact does not In ' cline him to the boar side. Tho most interesting statement re- jjarJlng his observations is this: "At t every point whero ho came across a J, itpwn with any manufacturing Jntereots He found life nnd prosperity." Clparly ho did not get his Information from Ro- publican politicians. Anyone of them would havo told him that wherever tjjpro was a manufacturing town noth- ' l,pg but calamity was In sight. Any Me- - Klnley boomer would havo assured him - that to say there was anything resemb- . ling prosperity In any manufacturing ' town was the ronkost of rank heresy. - It is the first article In the Repub lican creed this year that such ftjthing bs prosperity In any manufacturing in to dustry Is simply impossible under the Dcmocratlo tariff. And tho second 'ar ticle is like the first. It is that never ruoro can there bo prosperity in all thia broad land until their party has revised the tariff on McKlnley lines, ind theso two Aro substantially the Ion,y nrl,0,OB ,n lh0 ncDub,,can creed- rrun nnntititlrnn nnrtv wnittil hn iittnrlv helpless If It couldn't howl calamity and creato moro or Icsb calamity by howling. Tho Impartial observer from "Wall streot finds tho facts all against tho McKinloy pnrty nnd Its creed. Ho dis covers only llfo nnd prosperity In man ufacturing towns. Even the beneficiar ies of tho lato unlamented McKinloy tariff refuse to put out their fires, closo tholr doors and go about tho atreota mourning and lamenting to help along nnybody'o presidential boom. That Fort of thing doesn't pay. It la vastly moro profitable to keep their fires burning, their wheels humming and their men employed. "What if tho men do find out that it Is posslblo for man ufacturing to prosper and for American wages to bo paid without tho highest ot tariffs? Peoplo who would not object to n restoration of McKInloylsm would rather go on without It than givo any more costly "objoct lessons" by sus pending profitable work and Join tha polltlcil crowd In howling calamity. The manufacturer can better afford to let tho facts Bpoak as loud as they will for Democratic economy policy than to stnnd Idle for six months or moro to holp out tho Republican party. VI n pros' Cnmpalpu In Sllolilcnn, Springfield Republican: Mayor Pin grec, of Detroit, is clearly a man with a mesBago which tho people want to hear. Ho has been making a politico lecturing trip through Michigan as a candldato for tho gubernatorial nom ination, and It bocamo from the start a triumphal procession with largo crowds to listen every time ho opened hla mouth. He has been greeted overy whero with tho utmost enthusiasm. Ilia strong point appears to bo that he cannot only talk nntl-monopoly like any politician, but can, unllko most of them, put hla words Into deedB when ho gota tho chance. Tho old crowd of Republicans in Michigan aro afraid that they cannot head him off. Vhlokans Co mine Hume to Iooit. Philadelphia Record: The Repub licans have displayed tho utmost reck lessness in tho mnnufneturo ot rotten borough states in order to oecuro more United States senators and moro elec toral votes In anticipation of a change of political sentiment In tho populous parts of tho country. Upon theso now creations the Republicans have folt thnt they could always rely, no matter how high the political tide might run against them In other directions. But tho Republicans now find that not only has tholr hope of n majority In tho sen ato been shattered by the silver states, but tholr chances of electing tho nest president havo been seriously dimin ished. 1'otty IJuilnrBi In tho Home.

Tholr pcrfounnnco already constitutes a na tional scandal and a national danger, and it Is irrovocablo. What they did not forsee Is what has happened to them, and that la that the prospectors and boomers In tho senate should re volt against tho party and Insist upon a party program that would mako the success of tho party entirely hopeloua In tho settled and civilized parts of tho country.

Itow FrjrcMSfat farmer Operate Thin Department of tho Furm A Kow Hint n to tli Cnro of Lira Block nd l'oultry. N England, as In the United States, there ia a continual warfaro carried on between the mak ers and sellers of puro butter nnd tho B6ller3 of marga rine. Most of tho lattor material is Imported from Hol land. In a ro- cont Investigation by a comtnlt teo of tho houso of commons, ono of tho big importers of mnrgarlno was examined. Ho told tho committee that hlmBolf nnd his associates wero opposed to tho selling of margarine for butter. Thoy had, however, found that tho local officers would not onforco tho law against such cnlos. Ho and hla as sociates had therefore begun prosecu tions against offenders, and hnd already convicted somo dozen men in tho local courts. Ho described the effortB of an honest tradesman to prevent his competitors from Eclllng margarlno and margarlno mixtures for butter. Said tradesman had purchased a grocer'B stock and with It had found a largo quantity of margarine. Tho clerk told him that tho former proprietor had been selling it for shilling butter nnd that he might as well do the same thing. He refused to touch it. His competitors continu ing to sell, as described, he secured samples of their goods and called in the inspector. The latter Informed him that If ho would attend to his own busi ness and let the doings of other peoplo alone, ho would be all right. Tho only way tho law could be en forced, declared tho margarlno lmport or, was to havo national inspectors rho should pass from place to place, and who would not be affected by pri vate and local Interests. Somn Gnoil Urn Iteportcd, For thJrty-flve jcars I havo been breeding poultry. During that tlmo I A HORSE OF BOO fV "rtrh Ssfesfs!- Horo is tho picturo of tho great white horso ot Northorn Europo ns he existed nearly 500 voaw ago. This is repro duced from an engraving of a picturo by Albert Duvcr, and bears date of 1505.

Partridge Cochins, Buff Cochins, Silver Spangled Hamburgs, Rose and Single Comb BroWn Leg horns, White and Barred Plymouth Rocks, and am now breeding Buff Co chins. Whlto and Barred Plymouth Rocks. For town I think the .Buff Co chins are tho best breed; for tho farm tho Barred Plymouth Rocks are tho best. I havo four poultry houses, each 10x30 feet, S feet high in front and 5 In tho back, with a shed roof. They nro good, wnrm hous?s, with sash win dows In front In my winter feeding. J I usually tako equal parts ot bran and shortfl, and sometimes mix corn meai with it. Sometimes I ndd chopped oats. I stir It all up dry and pour hot water on it. I stir it woll after that, and lot It stand about an hour before feeding. This is for breakfast. I also sometimes feed wheat. At night I feed whole corn. Our mnrket here is usually good. There Is a cold Btorage firm hero that ships to Boston, and another firm that ships both live and dressed poultry. I get a fair supply of eggs in winter. I had last year 55 hens, and from theso I got, from January 1st, 1395, to Janu ary 1st, 1S9C, 4,878 eggs, nnd raised 300 chickens ly hens. I havo lost moro fowls from roup and cholera (or Indlgostlon) than from any other causa. I think mere fowlB dlo from indiges tion than from cholera. In raising broods my chief troubles havo boen in tho chicks hnvlng bowel trouble and being Infested with lice. 1 sometimes doctor the hens, but it is oasler to keop them well than to , cure tham nfter they are stcU. Give I them plenty of exercise and good, dry roosting places. 1 have a new breed , dBveloped myself. They are a rose- - ' m;, tarred Plymomli Rocks. 1 have a pullet of this breed that began lay ing In October, 1804, and kept up lay ing an egg every day till along Into February. Then I commenced to keep a record of how many eggs sho would lay. From tho flrsi of February, 1895. j. r . ... 'vat-- iwv i uihtf ' '- ". till tho first of September, seven months, she laid 144 eggs, by actual count. I also had a pen of threo pul lets nnd a hoa of tho same breed. I kept a record of this pen for eleven months. In that time tho four birds laid fiCl eggs and each one of tho fowlB raised a brood of chickens within that time. J. R. Sheoffer. Dnvls County, Iown. (The abovo is nn excellent letter. Tho fivo fowls spoken of made good records, for high records aro much more uncommon than mo3t peoplo sup pose. Ed. F. R.) Air for the Con. Tho English government some time ago took up tho matter of tho proper supply of air to cows. It is regarded ns part of the work of the public health officers to Inspect all barns and seo either thnt the buildings aro well ven tilated or that they are largo enough to permit of being shut for somo hour without detriment to tho health of thft cows. It Is Bald that tho execution ot tho law has occasioned a great deal of friction in the country districts of England. Tho medical officers mako specifications as to how a barn shall bo ventilated, or in tho absence of ven tilation how many cubic feet ot air may bo given to each animal. Most of tho barns nro found to fall far below tho requirements. It is very likely that investigation would show tho same condition of things to exist In this country, though in a less degree. In fact, some of our barns are bo poorly built that thoy need neither ven tilators nor air space, since tho nir haB freo Ingress and egrcBs through tho cracks between the boards. To such as havo tight barns the question is pertinent Of the two ways mentioned, giving tho cows more breathing space would appear better than to vcntllato, since by the former method all drafts may bo shut off. When nn animal is not In the best of condition, a draft of cold air too frequently proves tho be ginning of serious and sometimes fatal disorders. Mutually Interested. Tho creamery man is Interested In the welfare of his ratrons, whether he realizes It or not. That Is, their Inter ests aro so woven together that what hurts ono hurts tho other. Too often tho Idea gets Into the head ot tho man ager of tho stock creamery that his chief concern is to get his patrona to sell him milk as cheaply as possible, YEARS AGO. pif- 60 yearB before the settlement of St. Augustine In Florida, and 115 years before tho Pilgrim Fathers Bet foot on tho shoros of New England. This great white horse was tho ono ridden by the knights of that day in those coun tries. and ho does not care whether the pa trons mako money or not. In tho end this course must bo disastrous to the creamery itself. As the patrons And out they aro making littlo money they decrease the number of their cows, or go out of the buslucss altogether. It Is to the interest of tho creamery that n lnrge quantity of milk bo sup plied, and the richer it Is, the less will be the loss In separating. It therefore becomes advlsablo for tho creamery manager to havo a friendly Interest In tho cows of his patrons. If ho be am bitious enough he will stir up his pa trons to test their cows and do away with the poor stock. Probably there are a great many cows in tho list of nearly ovory creamery that would yield a profit by being disposed of. Dairy Note. Is it a fact that It costs $35 per year to keep a cow in feed nlone? It Is better to test tho cows before you buy them than afterward. Look-to the condition of tho cows about to calve. It la better not to have them too fat Do you know just what each cow of your herd is doing, or Just how much milk and butter she can produco in a year? The man that begins to keop a strict book account ot all things Is the man that has improved his chances of suc cess in the dairy, Tho old idea that Ignorance and dai rying can go together is exploded. If any part of tho fnrm work ueeds sci ence, It is the dairy. Some of our boat dairymen advocate having tholr heifers drop their llrst calves at two yeara of age. What is tho opinion of our reador3 on that point? Although It Is hard to fatten n cow. during the mllkiug period, it should ho attompjed whenever tho cow is to be sold for boef after sho run3 dry. Somo cowa will lay on fat even wncn they aro giving mute, provmeu mey are fed all tho fattening food they can direst. t-. Tho Origin of 'Tench." Tow people nro awaro that tho term "poach," as tippled to girls of moro than ordinary attrnctlvcnes, and con sidered atrocious slang by the ultra cultured class, can trace its amestry back to a poem of perhaps Amorlca's most famous poet Ho was writing about Philadelphia, und tho 'lino In question would seem to indicate that in his judgment Philadelphia's girls wero all "peaches." At any rate, 6uch a meaning can be extracted without tho slightest assistanco of tho imagination. Henry W. Longfellow Is the poet in question, nnd the lino occurs in his cel ebrated poem "Evangeline." In tho opening lines of the fifth stanza of Part Second the poet says; In that delizhtful land which Is washed by tho Dolawurc's watnrs. Guarding In sylvan shndes the name of I'onn, tlio apostle. Stands on tho banks of Its beautiful stroam thoc-lty ho founded: Thoroall tho air Is halm, and tho pench is tho emblem of beauty. -Philadelphia Itcconl. Ungltsli as She Is Spoke. The darkey is fond of long words. Tho moaning doesn't matter, so tho words arc long1, as this absolutely true story will testify: On tho M '8 plantation n Missis sippi lives nn old "before tho war" darky, too old to do any work harder than throwing feed to the poultry. She hns known no other home nnd is n. char acter. Visitors to the plantation al ways go to her cabin, and to their ques tion, "How are you this morning, Aunt Chris?" never failing to receive tho fol lowing reply. "Well, hone, I'm kinder oncomplicnted. De superfluity ob do mornin' dono taken do vivoclty outcn de nir nnd left me dc consequence ob comprehension." From tho "Editor's Drawer" in Harper's Magazine for April. Tho Wholo Teaching of Life. The whole teaching of his life, in deed, is to leave us free and to make us reasonable, and tho supremo lesson of his life is voluntary brotherhood, fra ternity. If you will do something for another, if yon will help him or serve him, jou will nt once begin to love htm. I know there are somo casuists who distinguish here, aud say that you may love such nn one. and that, in fact you must love every one, und if you nro good you will love every one; Out thnt you aro not expected to like every ono. This, however, seems to be a distinction without a difference. If you do not like a person you do not love him, and if you do not love him you loathe him. The curious thing in doing kindness is that it makes you love people even in this sublimated sono of liking. When you love an other you havo made him your brother; and by tlio same means you enn be a brother to all men. W. U Howclls, in the April Century. Soap I'lii lit.
