Not Party of Lincoln
[Kansas Cltv Tlmea.i
The platform claims that the republi
can party under HcKinley's guidance is
actuated by the same inspiration and
motives that It drew from the states
manship and example of Lincoln.
Lincoln waged war to free the slaves
McKinley to rivet the shackles upon
human beings. Lincoln insisted on
equality before the law of every man
under the flag. McKinley authorizes
Blavery and polygamy in the Sulus, im
poses a discriminating and onerous tax
upon 1'orto Bicans without their con
sent and carries on a war of criminal
aggression against the inhabitants of
Asiatic Islands to force upon them a
government they do not want and to
deprive them of the right of governing
themselves.
All parallels between Lincoln and
McKinley in which the latter is likened
to the former, as far as his administra
tion acts go, is a profanation, which
nearly approaches sacrilege. The re
publican party of today has nothing
left of the party that triumphed under
Lincoln except the name.
Changes Brought in four Years!
[InJi»napol!s Sentinel.]
Four years ago we bad a declaration
ef independence—it is now an evan
escent dream of youth. We had a con
stitution—it is a curious bit of yellow
paper. We had traditions—we have
the Philippines. We had a republic—
we have almost thrown off such swad
dling clothes for the glittering gar
ments of empire. We declared that
"governments derive their just power
trom the consent of the governed"—we
know better now. We held taxation
without representation to be tyranny—
we have revised our governmental dic
tionary. The farewell address of Wash
ington was reverenced then—it is old
and musty now. We had repudiated
slavery—we now embrace it. We bad
denounced wholesale bigamy—we have,
in our Sulu treaty, formed a coalition
with It now.
Ob, what queer, fantastic fancies
emanate from youth—so foolishly
poetic like the poetry of Osslan! Well,
we have le'.'l that portion of our exist
ence—now for a broader field, a more
dignified plane. "Let the dead past
bury its dead." Hip, hip, hurrah for

The Bank. lake the Cake
Under the bill, now a law,
if
an or
dlnary man buys a government bond
he
iB
out the ubb of his money and
draws interest on the bond but under
this law, if a national bank buys the
same bond, it can deposit the bond, get
the face value of the bond in bank
notes, thus getting its money back, and
then it can draw Interest on the bond
besides. The ordinary man can eat
his cake or keep it the bank can eat
Its cake and keep |it, too.
And why? Because the republican
party is putting the state above the
man because the republican party is
legislating in the interests of aggre
gated wealth and neglecting the rights
of the great majority of the people.
Republicans, you never beard a man
Btand before an audience in this city
and declare that your national debt is a
national blessing and yet that bill, re
cently made a law by the signature of
your president, contemplates a per
manent debt and an increasing debt.
How are you going to have a perma
nent bank currency resting on bonds
unless you have a permanent debt for
it to rest on And how are you going
to have a bank currency increasing to
meet the needs of population and busi
ness unless you have an increasing
debt for it to rest upon. Your bill,
your infamous bill, proposes to make
the national debt permanent proposes
to increase It and make the common
people pay the interest while the bank
ers make the profit out of the debt.—

Amber Cane Fodder.
Iowa is rapidly forging to the front
as the banner state for dairy products.
Creameries are being established in all
parts of the state and dairy farmers are
finding that it is one of tho best paying
of their farm products.
It is only recently that farmers have
discovered the great value of amber
cane as a fodder plant and it id safe to
say that it is attracting more attention
among dairy farmers than anything now
on the market, and it is recommended
as the most valuable fodder plant for
milch cows. During the past five years
the demand has increased about ten
fold each year.
This plant can be profitably grown
any where from Manitoba to Mexico on
on any good corn ground, and does not
appear to be effected by drout'i. It can
be sown at any time from the first of
May nntil the middle of July and in
places it is used as a citch crop, in place
of millet which it greatly outyields.
Dairymen who have been growing it
around this city claim that it Is tin
most economical fodder plant in exis
tence, being sweet, tender, nutritious
and greedily eaten by cattle, horses and
hogs either in its green state or dried
for winter use. The Bubstance is so
rich that it seems to make more and
richer milk. Some claim that it has
yielded as high as 50 tons of green fod
der to the acre. You can begin cut
ting and throwing It over into the feed
lot as soon as afoot high, and If weath
er is favorable it will start second
growth at once. After the general crop
of fodder is taken off and cured the
the field can be pastured, or If season is
moist it will make a fair second crop.
On ordinary ground 100 pounds ot
cane is sufficient, but if soil is very rich
it might be well to make it 115 to 125
so as to prevent the stalks growing too
large.—Farmers Tribune.
Fodder Corn for Dairy Cows
By George E. Newell.
There is no part of the United States
in which dairying is carried on, where
fodder corn cannot be raised to advan
tage for tho feeding of milch stock.
This fact stnuld be fully understood
and appreciated early in the season, so
that ample provision may be made for
the planting of this important feed.ux
illiary.
Some of the profitable dairy farms
in the land, besides mantaining blood
ed or graded stock, put out every
spring a large acerage of maize for
green feeding in the late summer and
early fall. The dairyman who does not
anticipate and provide for his milch
cattle's wants months in advance will
be compelled to witness the drying off
of his cows

Seed Potatoes.
j. he consular Report for January,
1900, contains the following Interesting
note from Consul Hughes, Coburg: "A
simple method of preveneing rot and
other diseased conditions of winter seed
potatoes is in use by the peasants of
ThurUigla. Those potatoes that rot
easily in the cellar in winter are made
better able to resist diseased conditions
and cold by being laid in a sunny place
aa far apart from each other as possible.
They are turned over morning and night
until they are thoroughly green, and
are then placed In the cellar for the
winter. Potatoes treated in this man
ner do not rot and can withstand a
great amount of cold weather without
freezing. Early potatoes thus treated
do not sprout in the cellar, and so re
tain their full strength. In February,
the potatoes are taken from the cellar
and put in a partially warmed room
until planting time. When planted,
they will sprout stronger and quicker
than potatoes not so treated, and the
crop will be larger and better."
when ho has no extra
feed to supplement a waning pastur
age.
Fodder corn should be planted early
enough so that it will get a good start
before hot dry weather is fairly launch
ed.
Mind you, I say planted, for I have
known some to indulge in the slovenly
practice of sowing the corn broadcast,
like small grain. It Bhould be listed or
planted j)in rows, so bb to admit of
thorough cultivation at least one way.
In this manner sunlight and Bir are
admitted, and combined with frequent
stirring of the soil, vigorous and succu
lent caneB develop, containing much
saccharine matter, capable of producing
a rich and abundant flow of milk. If
sowed or planted too thick and left prac
tically uncultivated, the caneB will be
white and watery and possess but little
feeding value.
If one has winter dairying at all in
view, a sufficient quantity of fodder
should be planted to insure a supply for
Bilage- making In the fall.
The value of properly put up ensilage
haa been practically demonstrated for
years, and generally those failure, in
lti use have followed Improper storage
In leaky silos.
Do not make the mistake of planting
fodder corn on second grade soil. If
you are engaged in dairying at all, you
are certainly in the business to try and
make it pay, and this merits first class
attention and first-class work in every
department.
Plant your forage crop on as rich soil
as you have on yonr place, and on s.
carefully a prepared seed bed as you
would use in putting In corn for grain.
Bear In mind tnat It Is yield more than
ace rage that will give the most effective
results, for I have seen more and bet
ter fodder produced on one acre care
fully prepared and cultivated, than on
three where the reverse was the case.
Plant varieties hardy to your section
that will make vigorous and stocky
growth,—Farmers Tribune.
pOME AWFUL DEATHS.
FEARFUL FORMS IN WHICH
GRIM DESTROYER CALLS.
The Vnra of a South Awlnllaa
Spider sad the Frlghltol A.onr It
C*B»e« A Grain That Makes Its
Victim a Ravins Maalae.
What Is the most awful shape In
which death may come to mortal mant
Not by fire, nor by water, nor by gun
shot. These are mere pleasures to
some of the deaths by which you may
die.
The most agonizing of all Is caused
by an Insect half the bIzo of a pea—a
•mall black Bplder. It lives In Peru
and South Australia, but a few speci
mens have reached Europe and Amer
ica In shiploads of timber. Not long
ago a dock laborer was unlucky
enough to come upon one In the Vic
toria docks while unloading bark.
The tiny death dealer dropped upon
the back of his hand and dug Its fangs
Into his flesh. The bite itself was noth
ing, but as soon as the poison began to
work the man fainted with pain. Boon
afterward he came to and lived three
days before the end came.
This spider's venom scorches up the
blood vessels and spreads through all
the tissues, causing the most fearful
agony a human being can have to bear.
The worst of It Is that the victim lives
at least two days, enduring unthinka
ble anguish the whole time. ThlB spi
der Is luckfly not common. It Is known
as the "specky," and when a man who
knows what the bite means Is bitten he
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death Is caused by
eating a grain called "bhat." This
sometimes gets mixed with rice, which
It resembles. The plant grows In the
east, and a few grains of It will drive
one Into a state of violent mania. The
victim becomes drowsy at first and aft
erward hilarious, then he goes stark,
M#dng mad and tears himself literally
to pieces with his fingers, biting month
ful8 out of his limbs. It is bad enough
to see such a case, but as for experi
encing it—
Of course falling Into a vat of boiling
metal, as unfortunate workmen some
times do, sounds bad enough, but It Is
mercifully quick. There Is a South
American vine called the "knotter,"
which Is far worse. It twines around
any living thing that comes within
reach, twisting Its long tentacles about
a man as a devilfish might These
tentacles sear and burn Into the flesh
like white hot wires, and the victim Is
dragged Into the heart of the foliage
and his jnlcea slowly drained, as a
spider sucks the blood of a fly.
All say that the pain Is worse *hnn
they could have believed It possible
for a man to feeL The "knotter" Is
well known to scientists and Is, In fact,
a sort of hnge flytrap plant Those
who have strong Instincts of cruelty,
coupled with curiosity, sometimes force
a dog Into the grip of the "knotter" to
watch the effects, which are too horri
ble to describe In detalL
Again, there Is nothing very much
worse than hydrophobia, when genu
ine. The patient often lives for days
In the acute stage aud In his last hours
Is simply tied up In knots and bent
backward and forward like a bow.
It Is a very rare disease with human
beings, for most people bitten by rabid
dogs, a small number at most escape
It In extreme cases the patient act
ually snarls and bays like any bound,
and, next to experiencing It the worst
thing Is to watch a case. It Is as dis
tressing a spectacle as any man could
witness.
There Is a snake called the "lancer,"
which Uvea In South America, and la
very ready with Its fangs. It Is a small,
brown. Insignificant beast but tts bite
Induces a sort of Imaginary swelling
all over the victim's body. He feela
as If every Inch of him were being
strained to breaking point and tho
agony which results Is too awful for
words. Generally, however, the ex
cess of pain drives the bitten man mad
before very long, and in four hours he
dies—a senseless Imbecile.
But all said and done, perhaps there
Is no death much worse than by the
common disease of cancer, which
gnaws at the patient's vitals through
month after month of unceasing ago*
ny and slays Its victim at last through
sheer exhaustion.—London Spectator.
