An exchange says a county in Ohio comes proudly to the front with a grand-mother only twenty-live years of age. She was married wheji onty eleven years of age. her daughter was married at twelve and is now a mother. A. guard will be stationed around the cradle of the infant grand-child to pre vent her eloping , as it is reported ssv eral enterprising yearlings are already mashed on her. While it is true that on tin face of the election returns the republicans Lave the best of it , thia paper fails to see what they have to crow about. The last natiou-.il house of representa tives had 70 majority for the gold stan dard. This year it has but 10 or 12. Minnesota gave McKinley 50,000 ma jority , but it elected Jolui Land , a dem ocrat , this year.

Protective vaccination for the pre vention of blackleg is likely to be very thoroughly tested in ivasa.sthisseason. : Ehe agricultural college at Manhattan s distributing large quantities of the 'accine matter gratuitously all over he state and the stockmen seem to be jiving it a very thorough trial , there ) eing a good deal of blackleg among .he young cattle in Kansas. .n one week Dr. Fischer , of the agri- mltural college , sent out to different joints enough vaccine to inoculate 1,200 head of calves , upon the applica- ion of various owners. Ill the quarter of a century in which : atile have been sent abroad it is cer- ain that comparatively few men have nade the business profitable. In view r ) f declining markets abroad a good leal has been said of late about losses. STor is it export shipping alone that has jeen attended with risk. With a few lotable exceptions domestic cattle ihippers have been unable to accumu- ate fortunes in their industry. It vould probably be safe to say that in he past ten years more men have lost noney than have made money in buy- ng cattle of the producer and selling hem in the wholesale markets.
