There was a Fourth of Julj celebra
tion at Manila. If the declaration of
Independence was read the phrase that
governments derive their just pow
»r from the consent of the governed"
must have sounded strangely.—Dubu
que Herald.
The Dubuque Telegraph thinks Hogg
all right. It says: "The Texan de
veloped the very interesting and impor
tant fact that the hearts of those who
do the voting for Tammany are with
free coinage and Bryan, and that if the
Belmonts, Whitneys, Grokers and Car
rolls persist in their attempts to side
track the national principles and the
national leader they will find them
selves in the position, of generals with
out an army."
The treasury experts reckon that the
new internal revenue taxes levied to
meet the cost of war will yield about
$100,000,000, during the next fiscal ye$r.
And it will require every dollar of this
revenue, added to regular receipts, to
carry the country the year without a
deficit. That is to say, although the
war with Spain ended nearly a year ago.

will cost us 8100,000,000 a year for an

THE TIGER AND ONE HOOG.
(From the Cedar Rapids Republican.)
It is not very often that so cunning
a thing as a tiger is fooled by a Hogg.
But such a circumstance actually took
place, and has been duly recorded. The
place waa the city of New York. The
occasion, the Fonrth of July celebra
tion under the'auspices of Tammany
Hall.
Tammany's celebration of the na
tion's natal day was simply a means to
an end. The end in view was the rele
gation of Bryan as a presidential pos
sibility, and the debut of Augustus H.
Van Wyck, who last fall attained some
notoriety by being defeated by Theo
dore Booaeyelt in a gubernatorial con
teet. The program was very carefully
planned. The liBt of speakers was a
long one. All of them were expected to
play well their parts. And as number
after number was disposed of the
scheme seemed to be working to per
fection. But—
"The best laid schemes of mice and
men
Gang aft agley."
The master of ceremonies introduced
one—Hogg*of Texas. Hogg is a man,
not an animal. He has the stature of a
giant, a voice like the roar of seven
bulls, considerable mental strength,
and the audacity of a thoroughbred
Texan. It is recorded that true to the
instincts of the an'.mal after which he
1B named, Hogg spoiled everything. He
could neither be led nor driven. Th
first thing he did was to outline a plat
form for democracy. It included about
everything that Tammany hoped to
see killed oil at its celebration. Then
came the climax. It was this para
graph.
"In this great contest, we want the
hid of united TammBny, the greatest
political organization on earth. We
want you to close up ranks, to settle
your local differences, if they exist,
and to go arm In arm with the stalwart
bread makers of the South and West,
to vlotory next year, under the leader
ship of the chivalrous, the dauntless,
the matchless great American, William
Jennings Bryan."
The Bcene that followed is said to
have beggared description. The Tarn
many underlings whom the leaders had
held as hounds in leash, broke loose
and cheer after cheer shook the build
ing. Hogg of Texas saw that his ends
had been accomplished, and like Mark
Antony after the conclusion of his
oration over CajBar'B body, he retired
thinking, if he did not utter them, the
words "Uischief, thou art afoot, take
now what course thou wilt." And Mis
chief is afoot. That scene down in
Tammany hall on the fourth of July
showed as nothing else could show, the
hold which Bryan has on the masses
of his party. Let generalissimo Cato
Sells see to It that no Hogg wanders
into the democratic convention, to
spoil the reconstruction he now is work-

Temperature.
It is not necessary to urge upon the
professional butter maker the import
ance of the thermometer in dairying,
he has already learned it, or be is un
teachable. He has learned, not only
that he must have thermometers afcout
the creamery, but that he must use
them and rely upon them at all pointe
in the process of butter or cheese mak
ing where temperature is imporfikjlt
and not do any guess work on the juo
ject. He has learned, too, that varying,
conditions will require varying tein
peratures, and the up-to-date butterauM
cheese makers don't need to be toll
how important an instrument in.|ili
work the thermometer is.
This recognition of its impoi
however, 1B by no means univetsall
true in the farm dairy. Lota of mil
butter makers take temperature M.11
comes and judge it, BO far as they judg
it at all, by the guesB work plan. Thii
is a mistake that may once in awhlij
produce good results, as the' rule oi
thumb sometimes does, by chance but
it can not be relied upon frt uniforml
good results. Temperature is impiirt]
ant in creaming whether the gra^l
process or separator be used. _A mill
room, for instance, where miw ia
should be at from 60 to 65 degree^,
that the milk shall be sour but^n
thickened, except at the bottomrol^e
pans, when.it is to be sklmmidv
in submerged cans the length dfiime it
should be Bet in order to secure as thor
ough creaming as possible will depend
on the temperature at which it is set.
In running the milk through the sepa
rator a temperature from 80 to 85 Is a
good one, but the cream should be cool
ed to 55, or below, as soon as possible
after it leaves the separator, and thece
temperatures should be ascertained by
{he use of the thermometer. The tem
perature at which to hold cream while
It is ripening is important, for the
rapidity of the ripening process will de
pend on it. If cream is a little off
flavor it should be ripened at a low
temperature, and in churning the ther
mometer is equally important. Good
churning—that iB, exhaustive churning
is b^t done at the lowest tempera
ture at which the cream can be churn
ed, but a low temperature requires rich
cream, whereas cream having a )ow
percentage of butter fat will not chum
at all, or will churn with difficulty, un
less the temperature is higher. AH
these things, and many others in rela
tion to temperature, can only be learn
ed by the butter maker by experience,
but the experience of yesterday and of
the day before and of last week is of no
avail to the butter maker who guesses
at temperature. To be useful as
guide to future work the data must be
exact, and with regard to temperature
it can only be made so by the use of a
good thermometer.—HomeateadAj

Pitting and Training the Dairy Calf.
Breeding, fitting and training horseB
for the speed track requires knowledge,
judgment, skill and patience. The
young animal must be the get'ofan
ancestry whose distinguishing traits
are intelligence, action and endurance.
He must be bred for speed. Good judg
ment and skill gained from experience
must determine whether the young
thing gives promise of possessing the
qualities essential in an animal bred
for speed. Judgment, skill and pati
ence are required in feeding, fitting and
training the young thing for a winning
performance in the speed concepts,
This feeding, fitting and training begins
at a very early stage of the colt's exist
ence, and is patiently persisted in until
the limit of development is reached.
The production of a profitable dairy
cow begins with the breeding, fitting
and training of the calf. The ancestry
muBt be the best we can get for the
purpose and the calf muBt be fed and
cared for with that end constantly in
view. The food provided must be of
the kind and quantity which will moBt
completely develop a milk-giving
animal, and not a flesh and fat-produc
ing animal. Nature has furnished
this food in the mother's milk and in
grass but aB we must rob the milk of
its fat we muBt replace this element
with something equally good and much
cheaper. One cent's worth of corn and
flaxseed meal is worth as much to the
calf in combination wit-h skim milk and
grasB as one pound of butter fat in the
whole milk. The value of oats led in
connection with skim milk and choice
hay for a dairy calf food should not be
underestimated. Vigorous growth

must get if we are to have a cow capa

STORY OF A PLAY I -1 V?:
(From the Mirror.)
TUB DRAMATIST.
He had felt the dull aching of
He had tasted the poison of i.
He had borne all the burdens ot
That only the suffering know.
Till at last, when the strife was aigh ended,
The dramatist, wrinkled and nay,
Wrote down the grim tragedy Litlng,
And Dread was the soul of the t»lay.
THE COMPANY.
Theu young men and old men aiil women,
Wltn knnwledgo of passion and pain,,
Searched deep In the work of tha master.
Rehearsing Ills sorrow again.
And they lived in the life ne creajed
Each one In his separate way-1
Till they learnod the grim horronif living,
That tlm bbed In the soul of tbiplay.T
THE AUDIENCE.
But the puppets that sat in the bokos— vgv
The dull-witted slaves of contenl- rs3
Looked on at the pageant of sorrow, ^£$1
Not knowing the least what It meant.'
As pearls before swine was the drMDa—
Fools seek but to laugh and be gay—
And the audience knew not nor carat not
icity of the stomach and digestive or
gans, and their exercise develops the
capacity of the animal for properly tak
ing and using la.'ge quantities of bulky
milk-making food. Good sweet hav,
preferably early cut. well cured clover,
should be supplied from the time the
calf is three or four weeks old. A clean,
well bedded, well ventilated, sunlit Bta
is the place for calves in winter and
same with screened windows for
summer. Milk cows and calves should
kept in screened stableB during the
heat of the day in Bummer. There is
profit for the owner or comfort for
cows and calveB fighting flies in the
hot sun. Developing the milk-giving
habit, which comes with the office of
maternity, is an important feature in
the fitting and training of a good cow.
Maternity should come neither too
early nor to late. Growth and physi
cal vigor are often sacrificed in forcing
the office of maternity upon the young
things. Much depends upon the de
velopment of the animal, but it may be
safely Baid Wat no heifer should drop
her first calf before she is two' years old,
and not later, than when thirty months
of age. The handling of calves and
heiferB iB also an important feature of
their development and training. They
should be taught to be quiet, gentle and
tractable. They should be trained
to the cow habit of dependence upon
and regard for, their master from
infancy to maturity The heifer or cow
that does not repay her owner for gen
tleness, kindness and intelligent care,
has not sense or capacity enough for a
dairy cow, and the man who withholds
these from the good cow has neither
sense nor capacity enough for good
dairyman.—Dairy and Creamery.
EXPERT TODACCO TESTING.
Cnban Buyers and Their Hlghl}' De
•velopefl Sense of Smell.
The greater part—in fact, nearly all
—of the tokacoo raised in Cnba and not
used by the Cuban olgar makers is
shipped to the United States. At certain
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacoo buyers from the
United States. Some of them deal
through the brokers in Havana, but
some who know the country and the
language go out into the tobaooo dis
trict and deal directly with the plant
ers, often buying a promising crop be
fore it is picked The tobaooo buyer haB
neoessarily to be a good judge of tobuc
oo. He goes down into the very center
of the bale of tobacoo he is examining,
extraots some samples and testa them in
different waya
The first test ii smell^ The
Cuban tobacco has a and pecul
iar odor. A little variatiou one way or
the other makes the tobacoo good or
bad. After smelling it the buyer is like
ly to roll a rqdely constrqpted. Agar out
of the leaf and smoke it He will inhale
tlie smoke and endeavor to determine
exactly the flavor. Ho will also examine
the ash carefully and test also the com
bustion of the tobacoo—that is, try to
find out how long it will hold fire. It is
a great annoyance to a smoker who ie
talking or writing or otherwise engaged
to put his cigar into hiB mouth and find
that it has gone out No cigar ever
tastes so good after it has once .--one out,
and a fine Havana oigar is positively
rank when it has met suoh a oatas
trophe. So one quality sought for is
that of holding fire. If a sample smoked
by the buyer will keep lighted four
minutes, it i9 considered very good.
Some will burn for five minutes and
even longer without being puffed.—

Schley's Long Legs,

mate of Schley's at Aiinapolis eays that
the admiral was looked upon aB the
best Spanish and French scholar in the
uuvy. His department at the academy
was modern laugaages. "I remember
one thing in particular about him, and
that is his long legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he oan run like a deer. In
the navy they nevor tiro of tolling about
Schley in Korea During the troublo
there we sent a lauding party ashore in
charge of Schley. The boat had not
more than reached the shore when out
jumped the marinee to make a dash for

In the lead was Schley. In a jiffy ho
was far ahead of everybody, his legs
working vigorously, aud when the em

"Very well," said Masset, "I will."
So the next time he entered a bookstore
he asked for it The olerk showed him
the work in two volumes. "How much

"Three dollars," replied the olerk.
