The Trusts Have the Say.
lieclprocity with Cuba is like reel.
Iiroclty with every other country. It
means a huge benefit to the American
farmer and a slight injury to one or
another of the great American trustB.
And since the trusts are having the say
now, the farmer will have to take out
his share of the benefits of protection
In waiting.—ltocbester Herald.
Speaker Henderson, not having tb
courage to do the right thing, If th
right was objectionable to the president
called upon the executive to asceriaii
whether be thought well of the bills It
congress thanking Admiral Schley f«.
his services to bis country. It is re
ported that the president climbed righ
up on his ear and in a boisterous anc.
emphatic manner declared he wanted
every one of them suppressed, adding
that "If one is passed I will exercise my
veto power in dealing with It." We are
incliued to the opinion that the presl
dent would not veto one of those bills
if there were a two-thirds vote in both
houses of congress In favor of that bill.
The president is very mush given to

Tbe American people are opposed to
any ofllclal participation in the cere
ponies incident to the coronation of
the king of JSngland. It is not because
tbe ceremonies are essentially ridic
ulous and mere manifestations of the
survival of feudal tlunkyism and child
Ish love of show, but because the send
ing of any envoy to take part In tbe
performance would ue national stul
tlticatlon. The existence of the Amer
ican republic is a denial to the right of
Edward or any other man to place a
crown upon his head and pretend that

rule bis fellows. An American envoy

A recent compilation shows that the
price of the necessities of life are 7 per
cent higher than at this time a year ago.
A family must now pay 817.74 for what
could have been bought last October,
1000, for 891.29. Four years ago, in
October, 1897, tbe same things could
have been bought for 872.45. General
commodity prices aje_npw .higher than
jSt any tlmeln the last tenyeara. It may
%»''rdugb1y said that the cost of living
is one-fourth blgber than when at the
lowest point. That Is to say, the dollar
has depreciated in purchasing power.
To use the kind of argument made
familiar in the political campaign of
18U0, we now have a 75 cent dollar. It
follows from this that tbe person of
fixed income, whether from wagep, sal
ary, investment, pension, or the like
not as well off as during the hard times.
Unless tbe dollars coming to him have
iucreased in number proportionately to
the decline of each in exchange value,
the screaming good times of the last
four years, concerning which there has
been so much general gratulation, have
brought no dividends.—l)es Moines

No Trade Relief in Sightf
Thus far nothing has been done since
tbe assembling of congress about the
reduction of taxation beyond deciding
to hear representatives of the tobacco
and beer Interests and to call on the
treasury department for informatiou as
to tbe current productiveness of exist
ing taxes.
The decision to give hearings to those
interests may fairly be regarded as au
indication that it is tbe settled purpose
of tbe republican leaders to touch
nothing but tbe BO called "war taxes"
and to do nothing whatever to improve
our strained trade relations with by lar
the best customers we have on earth by
taking so much as a shaving oil the
monstrous Dingley duties, which have
already brought upon us strong meas
ures of retaliation and which are bring
lng upon us more and Beveter measures
of tbe same kind.
Just here is where congress can do
more to build up oar foreign trade, aud
build it up lu a legitimate way, and
way to have it Btay built, than it can by
all tbe robber shlppiug bounty bills in
the world or by Bacrillce of tbe interests
of the people of the Philippines in order
to keep a door open into tbe poverty'
stricken marketB of China.—Chicago

savagery there are in the United btates
many others than Indians who need to
be assisted "toward civilization." Tbe

Rye for Hog Pasture.
A correspondent writes us to know
whether there Is any danger in pastur
ing pregnant sows on rye.
There is a common opinion that rye
fed to pregnant animalR will produce
abortion. It the rye contains ergot,
there is danger not merely of abortion,
although we think that danger is over
estimated, but danger of producing dry
gangrene. Tbe ergot of rye, or of any
other grain, tends to contract tbe ar
teries and hence weakens the circula
tion at tbe extremities. The hoofs be
come affected with dry gangrene, tbe
skin of tbe nose peels off and in hogs
the hair will come off all the result of
weakened circulation of the extremities.
It IB therefore, dangerous to feed chop
ped rye that contains ergot, or rye
straw.
The ergot can be readily detected by
the long black grains, known among
farmers as "spurred" rye. We do not
see, however, why there Bhould be any
danger In allowing pregnant sows to
pasture on green rye, or rye In any
other stage, until the ergot begins to ap'
pear, which Is about tbe time the rye Is
ripe. We have never heard of any in-
iurious effects from it Therefore wa
juriouB eittcts from it. rhwefore, we
do not beflitate in say lbg that It ie en

The Average Cow.
As tbe average man is not tbe ideal
man, so the average cow 1s not the Ideal
cow for dairying. As regards the cow,
the trouble iB that she eats and exists
upon a man's farm, doing only half tbe
ycyrv she ought tQ do. andjbecanaumes
aa much food, or .perhaps more, than
first-class milkers. She will give about
3,200 pounds of milk yearly, while she
ought to give as many quarts of better
milk. Her structure is generally the
reverse of what it should be her head
is too large, and her shoulders wider
than her hips besides, she has a tend
ency to put fat upon her caul and not
her milk, and has ample storage
capacity for everything except milk.
She is a parasite, which, according to
Mr. Could, "eateth by noonduy and
wastelb a man's substance by night."
In this way, she beats ail the truBts and
ringB of which mankind complains. As
a cow she is one that uses health and
vigor to consume food and render as
little return therefor aB possible.
The average cow may be good for
other purposes than dairying. It mat
ters not that her blood is a mixture of
good and bad elements proper training
and careful feeding may raise her above
the average. Keeping account with
dairy cows and employing tbe most ju
diciouB and best tried mt thods of feed
ing and treatment will Improve the
milk giving properties of the stock.
Tbe average cow cannot be blotted
out, as a race, on Bhort notice. But
much can be done In raising the average
and increaaing the yield of milk. The
average cow and the wooden plow go
well together, but even tbe home dairy
requireB better stock than that.—Dairy

Feeding and Care of Hogs for Market.
Perhaps the greatest branch of the
live Btock Industry in tbe corn belt is
the production of pork, and this work
should be of paramount interest to a
large number of our people. What I am
going to say to you is the result of
twenty-five years' experience in the
business.
The first thing to be considered is tbe
breeding stock. 1 bave known farmers
to sell their best sows because they
would bring more money and keep
their small, inferior animaU for breed
log purposes. Au animal that will
weigh the most in the shortest time will
make the best breeder. I select the best
of my young sows for bleeding pur-1
poses the following year, and wbeu they
have raised one litter each tbey are sold,
I am not raising bogs for breeding
purposes, but for tbe market, and keep
one eye on the individual merit of the
animal and the other on tbe require
ments of the Chicago market. It is in
dividual merit 1 prefer and not pedi

In feed there is greater danger in being
too poor than too fat. The weight at

dred pounds. May is the best time for

Pig-
There must be no stoppage in tbe
growth of any farm animal if the beBt
results are to be secured. The practice
of feeding two meals a day to be eaten
up clean is of the greatest importance.
It is not a good idea to keep corn by tbe
growing pigs at all times, as
finally he is to be forced to make his
living in the same way as the Caucasian, green food in addltion to the corn and

Improvement over tbe first sale in 1886.
One bushel of corn will make ten

There are many who make larger gains

Hank, a well known player of Roch

shook hands with hlin and asked him
what was bis hurry. Hank said he
would have to go to a Dutch restau

liked.
'Oh, If that's all," said Daly, "just
stay liere. We can serve the liver just
that way, and you oau go right on
playing."
Dutch Hank bad left some friends
outside waiting, but he said he would
stay and eat tbe liver. He sat down
and ate aud played. His $25,000 soon
went back to Daly in a turn of luck.
Hank went out without a cent.

The Tempter Won.
When the late Baron Nordenskjold
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast of
Siberia, he received a telegram from
the Russian government aBklng him
whether he would nccept from tbe czar
a certain decoration as an appreciation
of his services to Russia. For many
days the famous explorer wavered, as
he was a member of Bjorstcrne BJorn
son's Antidecoratlon club, whose mem
bers were solemnly pledged never to
accept any decoration from anybody.
Nordenskjold, however, could not re
sist the temptation, so he replied to the
telegram In the affirmative.
It is uot hard to Imagine his disap
pointment when, upon reaching home,
a friend of his. a high official, told him
the following: "The Russian govern
ment was well aware of your antago
nistic views in regard to decorations
and had, therefore, placed in readiness
300,000 rubles to be paid you In the
event of your refusing to accept the
insignia, but before paying that sum
they wanted to try your firmness. Rus
sia is certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge."
