Tho Barnyard. HERE Is . .a more indispens able division of the average farm than the barn yard, and yet all will agree that there is hardly a spot on those farms which suf fers more from neglect than it docs. Fully cne third of the year the stock seldom go beyond this en closure, and very often find n o shelter ez'cept what is afforded by the straw stack and the sides of bnildings. It may be impracticable to make a barnyard what it should bo without roofing it, nevertheless it can bo greatly improved. The barnj rd should not be a basin to collect the water which falls upon the outbuildings. Unless the water from these buildings is needed for filling cis terns, it should be carried away in drains. Such drains are very important in a level location for drying the ground about the premises, and into these the water from the roofs should be conducted." These are much better than open drains because they do not become obstructed. In this way the barnyard will be kept from drawing water into it which falls beyond its boundary. The watering trough is usually located in one corner of the barnyard, and during the winter the mud will become ao deep around it that stock cannot have access to it without difficulty, unless this is prevented by the use of stone and gravel The best way is to pave the ground with small boulders. These should be from four to six inches in length, and should be placed on their ends and very closely together. After this a layer of smaller stones should be spread over it, and above this a coat of gravel. If eravel is not available a few loads of surface clay will mate a substi tute. Perhaps it would be advisable to construct a passage of the same material from the stable" door to the trough, but make it higher than the surrounding level It is a luxury to be able to lead a horse from his stall to water In all kinds of weather without getting one's boots muddy. The barnyard should be surrounded by a wina-break of evergreens on the side toward the prevailing winds. Such a protection is more necessary for open regions, but thero is, scarcely a yard where stock must stand during the day that will not be much more comfortable if such a breaic is provided. Less than a dozen Norway spruces will effect this purpose, if planted in the right place, and they will be ornamental as well as useful. The fences around the barnyard should be built of posts and planks, and should not be less than four and one half feet in height, and a greater height would bo still better. This requires large poats, which should be deeply set If the fence is made high in this way a barb wire can be stretched above the top plank with safety, and this will prevent the animals from gnawing it and also check their propensity to push over it This will prevent rubbing against the fence, which in time is sure to push it from a perpen dicular line. A lump of rock salt should be kept in a trough in the barnyard, unless the animals are freely salted in their stables. Palling; Old Vosts Made Kasy. Hook a log chain around the post near the ground; draw it over the top of an oak plank with a notch sawed in it and a stout cleat spiked on each side to prevont it from splitting.

He who lies in a small way will cheat in a largo one. The best cultivator gets the most out of a poor soil. The largest profit usually comes from what you do yourself. Cultivate no more land than you can attend to thoroughly. Have a tool house and keep your tools la it when they are not in use. Nkvzb worry over "trouble. The trouble Itself is misery ienough, when it comes. It is cheaper to educate the child than to maintain the future man as a cirminal or a pauper. The butter and milk prodact, from all breeds of cows may be increased by Judicious feeding.

A FRACTicAX cattleman Is as necessary to succeed in breeding as' a practical grocer Is to conducting his line of bast- It is estimated that it requires fifteen -million cows to supply the daman for "milk and its products in the United States. To obtain the best results from work Ijou must have wisdom, system, and method. The wise man systemawcauy plans his work aad methodically exe cates it "Pbovtdexce makes nothing to go to waste.',, "Whenever there is a temporary -, attnaas mlj1rnf nnAriad nradactS. thinCS were soon evened up by short crops or increased yields. , CThb American Analyst says that than -' wrb are,000,oe,ooo iavosUd in taeaeiry almost double ttei money Invested la banking aad commercial industries It Is a cemmeuaableldee to aire to the boys an interest lathe colts, aad in this way get them to spend their spare time in looking after the welfare of all the horses on the farm Instead of trying to loaf at the corner grocery. The dairy farmer should always reckon the value of the manure produced upon the profit side of his account Weftxed dairy cows will yield a manure rich In fertilizing elements, and this should be employed in the production of such crop as will, with liberal fertilizing, give large money returns. It is not to bo expected that the milk of the native cow will be as rich as that of, the Jersey, but her yield can be made greater, and with more pront by allow ing her generous rations. The .breed is important and should perhaps, "in most cases, rank first, but the feed Is a good second. In the exchange of commodities a man must have something in hand to get something he needs with. Honey is generally acceptable to all classes In this exchange. To get the money the man must produce something or have some thing. "When he has that he can usually find some one ready to gve him money for it s Strawberries, a comparatively easy product of the soil, are, in their season, considered a luxury, and yet how few farmers' families are in. the full enjoy ment of them. If there is one blessing which the farmer's family should enjoy above all others it is the full and perfect enjoyment of all possible products of the soil. Give horses water beforo feeding. In France some worthless horses were killed for dissection on purpose to determine the effect of giving water immediately 'af ter'eatiagrand some of the grain was found undigested In the Intestines, twenty feet beyond the stomach, and it had caused inflammation of the mucous mem brane. These Is much In Inheritance. Genera tions of improved blood lines, in which the milk or fattening trait has been the point in view, can but count to the credit of pedigree cattle, as a rule. On the other hand, neglected common cattle whose breeding has been at random can not be depended upon for prepotency. Consequently a sire of the future cattle should be a thoroughbred, eligible to registry. The welfare, the health, the temper ament to say nothing of the happiness of the horse, are largely dependent on sur roundings. He needs no bric-a-brac to amuse or entertain him, he cares nothing for ornamentation. But he does appreciate comfort and comfort does him good. And what does him good will in the end be for the good of his master. Inferior products. Injudicious market ing, the tendency to rush from one line of production to another, are all Im portant factors in fixing the price of farm products. The man who goes into hogs or another line when prices are up and drops out when they are low, is to be pitied, for he Is always overweighted, running a race in which he Is bound to be the loser. No one should accept the absurd idea that a farmer needs no education to make a good farmer. I know that some people look dowu on farmers as being an over-worked, illiterate and dishonorable class of men. This is largely due to mis representation and misunderstanding A well-to-do farmer says the way to avoid this is to educate ourselves so uni versally and scientifically that public opinion will be compelled to acknowledge our worth. The colt will learn more easily when 6 months old than when a year old. It can also be controlled more easily. Hence it is wiso to handle the colt early. Its early training should not stop with breaking the halter. It should be han dled until any part of its limbs can be rubbed; until it is accustomed to the bridle, and until it will drive as well as lead.. To teach it all this and to keep it from forgetting what it has learned is a little trouble, but if the colt is of good stock the trouble is well paid for. 'HE DAIRY. Far MUtrmaa, Milkmen may increase tholr profits by the sale of lime water. Fifty cents worth of lime will make a product that will sell for at least $5. "But" says somebody, what is it good for?" A knowledge of its usefulness Is not wide spread. It ought to be, and milkmen are the ones who should naturally dis seminate it The use of lime water will have a tendency to increase the value of milk.

In a flock selected and cared for so as to produce 160 ewta per year, one-half of these during the cold season, setting the average winter price at 20 cents and summer price st 12K cents, the income ought to be about 82 per hen per year. To secure winter eggs hens must be carefully sheltered which reliable authority states can be done at an expense of 1 per hen. The interest on this Will be about 6 cents per hen for the first year. If we are genor ous and allow $1 per year for feed, inter est on shelter, wear and tear and risk, we still have $1 per year net jproflt per hen. This certainly ought tosatisfy any one for the necessary trouble of looking after a flock ofififty to 100, and addition of this amount to the annual income would add many comforts to the home and ought not to be neglected. . rylan-Tjrpe. t And now we have the esrg-laying type of hens. We have had a full discussion of the milk and type of cows, the trotting and draft type of horses and different types of other animals.

The ideal hen should have a broad, deep, round body of moderate length, out should not be too chunky. The thoroughbred poultry Industry is begin ning to receive a good deal of merited attention and in a few years American poultry will be sought for tho same as are American trotting horses. If breed ers will select a type and stick to it they will greatly Improve the breed and get a class of birds that will bring S10 to $25 where they now sell for 52 a mbngrel thoroughbred 01 unknown breeding. Feed, for Eg-gi An egg is largely nitrogenous. Tka white is albumen, the yolk contain! phosphoric acid and mineral substantia and the shell Is composed mostly of lime. The hen is a small animal. Eggs are not a miraculous dispensation, as they come from the food a hen gets and converts into egg, the same as any animal con verts its food into products. Corn alone is not a suitable food for the production of eggs, as it does not possoss enough of the constituents to make eggs. Hens fed on such food will get fat Hens, like every other animal, must have coarse food to distend the stomach and bowels and for this purpose cut clover hay and cabbage are largely fed by many. These also contain material to make eggs. Sklmmllk is also just tho thing for an egg food. To get eggs, feed kens to pro duce eggs. Col. F. D. Curtis, Klrby Homestead, N. Y. THE HOUSEHOLD. Iroalaa Collars and Shirts. We suppose that clothes have been properly washed and starched which is not-always true, we are. sorry to note. Take one article at a timo and lay it on a clean white ironing board. See that your hands are immaculate and your irons clean; rub the latter on brown pa per and a bit of beeswax, then on a clean rag. If your polisher is at the right heat it will only take a few firm rubs up and down on eacn side to make you feel proud of your collars and cuffs. The shirt-bosoms aro drawn out smoothly on a bosonvboard, after ironing the sleeves and tail, also the neck and wristbands. Now grasp the neck with your left hand and slide, as it were, your iron up the middle, sending all the wrin- 9 kles to the sides instead of to the top or bottom. Press firmly, curve around the neckband so that it will stand, put a pin in to preserve its shape, fold and your work is done. Don't be discouraged by your first failure; the results are worth the trials, and you will soon find yourself able to accomplish satisfactory success. You will find that your husband, father or brother will soon stop taking part of each week's wash to John Chinaman or the steam laundry and will take pride in their linen, as white as snow and as stiff as ivory the result of your handi work. fM.

F. B. lMwee, of Clay Center, said: J. oon't believe it will do pobbiuw the repablieena to engage the people party epeakera in joint disenssion. The iasaeerpreaentedrbj'the people' party, as they know very well, will not bear disenssion. All that ia necessary to place Kansas squarely in the republican line is open, free and fair discussion of the principles of the two parties. This, joint discussion wonld bring- about In joint discussion the people of both parties are present This wonld give the republicans the opportunity to show up the erroneous and dangerous doc trines that are being promulgated bj the people s party. "The only hope that the people's party has of success is to keep the peo ple blinded aa to the true issues of the day and instead thereof appeal to the prejudices of the people. They dare not permit the members of the people's party to attend republican meetings and therefore dare not engage in joint discussions, because of the fact that the people they have been deluding by their pernicious doctrines would hear whole- eonie political truths. But, however, in the long run this will make no differ ence. "Tbe people's party has been on the decline for the six months last patt. There is not a county in the state id which the people's party is not losing votes and in which the republican par ty ia gaining. Since tbe last election the people have had time and oppor tunity to study the legislation of the fifty-first congress, the first and only republican congress, save one, for a period of about fifteen years. They are awakening to the fact that there was more wholesome legislation in the in terest of the people, and especially in the interest of the farming people, by the fifty-first congress than in any, or in all put together, during the whole period. "The McKinley bill, which was so much abused during the late campaign, will be the salvation of the republican party. Its effects are just beginning to be felt New industries are begin ning to spring up, forming new mar kets for the farmer s produce. This, together with the stoppage of the im portation to a large 'extent of rye, bar ley, flax, butter, eggs, cheese, horses, cattle and sheep, has, as every one is aware, caused at least a 20 per cent ad vance in the price of all these artiolea of farm produce. "This the republicans prophesied during the last campaign, but the peo ple would not believe it. Now that these propositions are fully verined there is no doubt in my mind that the- people of Kansas will acquiesce in, sanc tion and sustain the wisdom of this leg islation. "In addition to this is the meat in spection bill which has enabled the ad- ministration-to appeal to (iermanyand France successfully for the reception of American pork and beef into these mar kets. Germany has already thrown down the bars and France will soon follow it and I predict these two coun tries alone permitting the introduction of American hogs, cattle, pork and beef, will result in the advance of the prices from to 1 cent per pound. "In addition to this when the peo ple in studying tbe legislation of that congress learn the fact that this repub lican congress has appropriated' $15,- 000 and $1,000 additional for each year for ten years, and thereafter 825,000 a' year r to each state having an agncul- i tural college, for the purpose of giv- ing instruction to the people in tbe art of higher agriculture and when they consider that it is the agricultural schools and none other for which nation al appropriations are made, they will not only believe, but know, that, when Jerry Simpson, and such as he, say to them that the republican party ia the enemy of the farmer, that they are not merely mistaken, but deliberately and willfully lie. "It ia my opinion that more than one half the county officers elected this fall will be republican and that in 1892 the republican electoral ticket in this state will have 20,000 more votes than the democratic and people's party com bined." RAILROADERS AND ANCE. THE ALLI- Cash Crouse, locomotive engineer on the . Frisco road, talks to his brother railroad employee in the Neodesha Reg ister aa follows: "If the alliance men succeed in elect ing their candidates this fall they will be in better shape for the great fight in 1892, at which time another senate and legislature will be elected. If they should be successful in '92 in electing the legislature, senate and governor, God knowa what will become of tbe railroad employes of this state. Their actions'lasf winter proved plainlythey ware no friends of the wage earners, and if they should obtain the power they will paas laws that will compel half of the railroad men of Kansaa to aaek new occupations. They proved this last winter. Ton who have read the neners know this to be a fact. Be waned ia time.

In all such oaaes the dutiea are paid by the foreign producer, in order that he may get into our markets. They are never added to the cost" paid by our con sumers. No duties are ever paid by anybody on goods made in this coun try. Hoawell G. Horr, in the New York Tnbmne, thus states the propo sition: "If a duty is levied on the, free trade plan, that is, on articles which we can not produce in this country, then the duty would always come out of the con sumers. If we should levy a duty on tea, for instance, such 'a duty would have .to be added to the cost of the tea, and the money would be collected most ly out of the laboring classes, who con sume most of the tea. America cannot produce tea and we cannot bring about a competition therefore in this market between home and foreign tea, or drive down tbe price and so compel the for eign producer to pay the duty in order to get into our markets. There is no tea raised in this country with which the foreign tea must compete; and hence the importer must add the amount of the duty to the price, and collect the same from our consumers. Not so, however, with an article which we can produce in great quantities in this country. Take common salt, an article of prime neceesityused even mora uni versally than tea. The price of salt has been constantly cheapened since Amer ica began to produce it under the tariff laws of 1861. Salt ia now at the very lowest possible point in price con sistent with good wages to the men who make salt The great bulk of the salt consumed in this country is made here in the United States, and' any for eign salt-maker who gets into oui mar kets must do so by paying the duty himself." FAILURE OF THE ALLIANCE LEG ISLATURE. From the ElDorado, Kansas. Eepnbllcan. If , the late house of representatives of the Kansas legislature 92 of the 125 members being members of the people's party wanted to save money to the tax-payers of Kansas, and thus lighten the burdens of the farmers, why didn't it pass the senate state printing bill? If the house of representatives want ed to protect the farmers against the shylock insurance companies, why didn't it pass the senate bill which com pelled insurance companies to pay the full face of policies when property was burned? If they were the friends of the farm ers why didn't it pasa the seuate stay law? It was a simple measure provid ing that a farmer should not be fore closed for tbe next two years if he paid his taxes and interest and waa not in default to exceed six months. If this reform party meant to carry out its pledges why did it not pass the senate free school book bill and give the people cheaper school books? If this people's party wanted to have something to say as to who should have control of our agricultural inter ests, why didn't they pass the senate bill whioh provided that the secretary r i.rinnlfnn oVinnlH riA aloflted hv thn 5. t th time ud in the ' ' that th ffOV6rn0r an aame way that the governor and other state officers are elected r If this party of big pretenses was in earnest and meant business, why didn't its house of representatives pasa tbe senate fee and salary bill?

If this railroad-smashing party want ed to put these corporations on a fair taxable footing with "other people," why didn't the house of representatives pasa the senate bill which compelled the board of railway assessors to assess all railroad property in the state at its true value in money? If this house of representatives want ed to pnt a Btop to bond-voting "and all that sort of thing, why didn't it paas the senate bill which provided that '"no indebtedness shall hereafter be con tracted against any county, township or city which, with the other outstanding liabilities, would render the total in debtedness of such county, township or city in excess of 5 per cent of ita aa Bessed valuation?"

Governor Campbell, in a recant speech at Sydney, O., among other things said that the period from 1846 to 1861 waa the "golden age' of this republic In asmuch as assertions of a somewhat similar character are constantly being made by other democratic orators aa well as press, it may not be out of place to see what truth there ia in them. The country was tbea under tha operations of a revenue tariff largely devised by Bobert J. Walker, tha dem ocratic secretary of the" treasury. It ia true that a period of great prosperity continuing for a period of three or foar years followed, bnt there waa a combi nation of extraneous influences that had not a little to do with this pros perity. Thus the war with Mexico at that time, by which $100,000,000 were dis tributed, exercised a potent influence in stimulating business. Again, there was a European war which created a heavy demand for all the surplus food produots of this country, whioh, to gether with the demand for them crea- ted by the famine in Ireland enhanced their prices to an extent that yielded very handsome returns to the farmers of this country. Another important factor was the discovery of gold in Cal ifornia, which resulted' in the creation of a new wealth that was sufficient ia itself to inaugnate a period of general prosperity. It is not surprising that all these influences should bring about good times and they would have done it un der any economio system that might have been in operation. Their influence ceased to be felt, how ever, after a while, and then tha people had an opportunity for testing the ef-i foots of the revenue tariff. In 1851 President Fillmore addressed a messaga to congress in which he stated that tha low rate of duty had-greatly depressed tbe agricultural interests, and a " year; later he said in another message thai competition with foreign manufactured! gooda had broken down home manu-I facturers, that thousands of iadaetnoaa and honest men had been thrown oat of employment, and that profound de- preesion prevailed. He further declared that the destruction of our manufac turers left the foreigners without com petition in our market and that tha price of articles sent to America had -been raised in consequence. In 1857 President Buchanan said in a message to congress that the mono-, tary interests of the country were in a deplorable condition, and that,-despite the country's great natural advaatagea and in the midst of unsurpaeesd pleaty. in all the elements of national wealth our manufactures were suspended, one public works were retarded, our pri-i vate enterprises of different cbaracteri were abandoned, and thousands of uee- ful laborers were thrown out of employ; ment and reduced to want. Not a very pleasant picture this, car-; tainly, and it is democratic testimony! aa to the effect of a revenue tariffj Just why Govenor Campbell or any oaej else should feel disposed to refer to itj as the "golden age" of the republic ib is difficult to see. History shows it to have been anything but that, outside1 of the few years that followed the adoption of the revenue tariff, and events independent of that were respoa eible for that period of prosperity. THE7-3QS NOT CURRENCY. In Secretary Foster's recent pamphlet on tbe volume of money in circulatioai be states that the 7-30s were invest ments and not currency, and he briaga this evidence to bear: There are two facta which prove ooa-i olnsively that these obligations ware' not ia circulation: Oae ia that they; were all redeemed within three yeare without creating moaetary distarbeaee; the other, is that nearly all ef.tbeei came back into the treasury aa deem and unworn as oa the day of their issue, a condition which they would, not have presented had they beea ia. active circulatioa."
