issues of the campaigns were dis

heard. In those good old dais, when
democratic and whig orators were ar
rayed against each other, the meet
ings were composed of men of both
parties and usually about in equal pro
portion to the strength of each party.
The democrat was not so hide-bound

why he thought his system of politics

were men of standing and held them
selves personally responsible for their
editorials. .Many of them wei*e en
gaged in practicing law or were po
litical leaders, and ran a newspaper aa
a side issue, not for profit but for the
good of the party. Gradually, report
ing broadened into a feature, and
while the reporter made a "story" out
of the speeches, and the "enthusiastic
crowd present," the editor always re
served a few columns on his page for
an essay. It is related in one instance
when Henry Clay made an oration at
a southern city that the reporters got
excited and forgot to take notes.
However, as a rule, this was immate
rial, for every editor, and even the
sub-editors, as the reporters wert
styled, were well posted on the polit
ical issues of the day, and knew tol
erably well the arguments to be r.d
vanced by cither side. In those days
politics was not a trade, and no one's
education was considered complete
unless he understood the political is
sues of the day, the history of polit
ical parties and of the government.
Consequently, when a man offered
himself for office he knew something
and the only choice was one of prin
ciple, and not men. In state and na
tional campaigns the candidates of
fered themselves as a sacrifice, as a
rule—as far as the emoluments of the
offices were concerned. As an exam
ple, Jefferson Davis, democrat, re
signed a seat in the United States sen
ate to make the race for governor of
Mississippi against a popular whig.
He led a lost cause and was defeated.
But he reduced the whig vote, which
was mainly owing to the oratorical
abilities of himself and other leaders
of the party in that memorable cam-
We do not hear of such sacrifices for
party in these days. Men may resign
office, but it is to grasp a better pay- j
ing one. Other similar instances
might be cited, but this is the most
notable. Politics were as pure as pol
itics could be, ajid speeches were uni
formly scholarly, conclusive, able and
often oratorical gems. The speakers '
provement upon those stilted "spell
binders" of to-day. While oratory is
not a lost art, we do not have so much
of it in the latter day campaigns as
in the days when political leaders gave
more attention to the public affaire of
the country. The issues of those cam
paigns were more of local and general
interest, perhaps, than those of the
present day. One of the "burning is
sues" was the right of the territories
to introduce or prohibit slavery. An
other was whether congress had the
right to legislate on the question of
slavery. During the second quarter
of this century those issues were ever
uppermost, and the leading men were
heard in every campaign until the
civil war silenced argument, and the
matter was settled by arms. These
two issues culminated at the Charles
ton convention, in 1860, which result
ed in a split between the rival candi
dates, Davis, of Mississippi, anu Steph
en A. Douglas, of Illinois.' Breckin
ridge and Douglas led the rival wings
of the democratic to defeat.
During that campaignthe issues were
v. personal that the old plan of joint
discussion was abandoned, especially
in the rural districts, for at that time
men began to reason less, and made
political belief a personal matter.
In the early campaigns, in the rural
districts, a barbecue was the featurfe
of evei-3- joint meeting. The darkys ol i
the plantations, who understood the
knack of barbecuing beeves, were em
ployed and looked forward to these '
occasions with no little pride, for they
boasted upon their culinary ability.
The speakers passed good-natured
jokes. sanrJwiched in their incisive, ex
haustive and "unanswerable" argu
ments, at which the rival partisans
cheered and laughed alternately.
At noon a recess was taken, when
both sides adjourned to the long ta
bles under the bower to eat, and dis
cussed politics good-naturedly. After
dinner the speaking was continued by
. orators of less renown, during which
' time the "small boj's" and the darkys
fell in line and finished up the richly
barbecued meats and Ties and stuff
which had been added by the ladies of
j the neignoorhood. The picturesque
' ness of the olden-time political meet-
I ing 3 and the necessary barbecue
passed away with the civil war.
Xew men and new issues have come
j upon the stage, and the veteran
j statesmen of those good old days have
j nearly all passed away. The cam
paigns do not seem to be so interest
ing as then, neither are the issues so
ably discussed, nor the meetings so
! largely attended. The masses depend
j more upon the newspapers for reports
!of speeches, also for their ideas, as
I they think less in their pursuit of
I wealth. j. M . SCANLAND.

FATTENING TURKEYS.
A Feeding ArrHnojeiueii 1 Which Helps
Them to ilet Their Share of
the Dnily Kiitiolis.
It is often desirable to hasten the
fattening of young turkeys. Where
there are chickens, young and old. the
feed scattered to the fowls mostly goes
to the chickens, as they are faster eat
ers than turkeys. Turkeys are not,
as good "rustlers" as chickens. But to
get them ready for market, they must
be well fed. To give turkeys their just
share, and even more, of the feed, 1 use
FEED BOX FOR TIRKEYS.
'«n arrangement as illustrated. The
i feed stand is made of an orange box and
■ i few laths. Taking a box head. I
I nailed two-inch stripsaround it. making
i a shallow box. The legs are laths;
on the box I put another lid; and above
ell I made a peaked roof. Then 1

openings large enough for the turkeys
Ito put their heads through. The

eat whenever they wish. If desirediin-
Istead of the peak, a few bricks can be
placed on the box. It is marvelotis how
i the cockerels can cling to the edge
and stick their heads through the open
i ings. The length of the legs must be
j determined by the size of the turkeys.

I Home.
Crops Not to Turn Under.
j There are a few crops that pay well
I if turned under and a good many that
;it does not pay to turn under.
j Among the latter are such crops as
rape. Every once in awhile some per
son asks the value of this for a green
j manure. It is practically nothing.
I The reason is that it adds nothing to
| the soil, for it has built itself up en
tirely from the soil. As a general
proposition we should turn under only
those plants that have gained some
thing from the air, and those plants
are the legumes. Fortunately the
number of the legumes is large and
some of them will do well on most
any soil. If we can't grow one of the
j clovers we may yet be able to grow
cow peas or soja beans, or even the
sand vetch. We have even seen the
ground sown to white beans and the
crop turned under when the growth
had become rank. —Farmers' Review,
Characteristic* of the lire.
Indefatigable industry, energy and
perseverance are the peculiar charac
teristics of the honey bees. They be
gin their life work at birth in caring
for and nursing young larvae, and at
about 16 days old they become honey
and pollen gatherers, and" during the
honey harvest in the early dawn,
when the balance of God's creation
are asleep, they sally forth on their
daily mission, and when evening's twi
light has cast its somber mantle over
nature's face they may be seen re
turning laden with sweets which, but
for their unequaled energy, would be
forever lost. They fear not, the sun's
scorching rays and regard not the
rain or the storm. They deserve a
nice house and a clean yard, and they
will provide abundantly for them
selves and a surplus for their owner if
treated fairly.—Rural World.
Nature's Ration<* for Hens.
If the hens are denied all grain dur
ing the late fall months and given
free range of the fields and groves it
will be found that they will return to
their houses at night with bulging
crops. There is no lack of food on
such a range up to the time that it is
covered with snow. And this food is
exactly suited to the needs of the
hen. It consists of weed seeds and
insects and worms which are
scratched out from under the leaves
and tufts of dead grass*. This is na
ture's ration, and the wisest poultry
man in the world cannot substitute
anything for it which will contribute
in equal degree to the health and
thrift of the flock. Let the hens have
all they can get of it while it is avail
able, and encourarge them to go after
it by feeding them only lightly with
grain.—Farmers' Voice.
Got Green Rone (or Ilena.
We have seen it stated that there
are some people who are of the opin
ion that cut green bone is of no ad
vantage to laying hens, and even lean
to the belief that the feeding of it is
frequently attended with injury. You
can find people who will contend that
about every article of food which has
ever been recommended by experi
enced poultrymen is unfit for that
purpose, and it is likely to make se
rious trouble if so used. There are
people in the world who find pleasure
in being contrary, and some of them
have gone into the poultry business.
It is to be regretted if they have con
vinced any beginner that cut green
bone cannot be fed to laying hens in
reasonable quantity with entire safe
ty.—Farmers' Voice.
