STOUT. flLOTHING and Gents furnishing goods ^Bradley & Sherman building, Franklin Secretary. Dr. T. L. Flood, who is about to give up the editorship of the Ghautauqnan, says the hardest thing he had to l**arn was to sav uno"in ii a kind, whole-heart ed, firm way. 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. Mr. McKinley's war in the Philippines will cost us 8100,000,000 a year for an indefinite time to come.—New York World. Springfield Rifles Versus Mausers. [New York Journal.] Even our experience in Cuba with the antiquatedJ3pringfie)4.h»8 not wak ed Alger from his lethargy. Our voluntoers are sent 7,000 miles to con quer a half-savage foe with guns that put thjsm at the mercy of the enemy. The Filipinos, without a government, and in comparison with this country, practically without funds, can secure Mausers that carry 2,000 yards, while our soldiers are, handicapped by arms nearly worthless. 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- Thorn Is no wrong, by any one cnnmlitod, Hut will recoil: Its suro return, with doublo 111 lepeatod No skill can foll.T As on the enrth the inlst it yield) to heaven Descends in rain, So on his head whoe'er has evlltfvnn It falls again. It is the law of life that reirlbutipi '.. Shall follow wrong! It noverfalls. although tho execution May tarry long. Then let us be, with unrelaxed eiiloavor, Just, true and rlgiit. That the great law of recompense may ever Our hearts delight,' That truth was the soul of the plag. ... 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 1 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 exerciBe and development iB what we must get if we are to have a cow capa ble of large performance. The oats and hay are bulky and Inoreaae the ca MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12. 1899 STORY OF A PLAY I -1 V?: (From the Mirror.) TUB DRAMATIST.

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.— Ohio State Journal.

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.

"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 is it?" said Massett.
