FIRST DAY AT KANSAS CITY Published by The TREBUNE PUBLISHING CO VOL. XV. FIRST DAY AT Democrats Assemble National AN OVATION TO D. B. HILL The Platform Committee, After All Night Session, Declares For "16 to 1" By a Vote of 27 to 25. The national Democratic convention was called to order at Kansas City at noon Wednesday by Chairman Jones. It was an inspiring scene that the chairman looked out upon when, with a rap with his gavel he stilled the tumult and declared the convention open. About him were fully 25,000 people rising tier on tier like the spectators in some vast coliseum, while on either side stretched away the rows accommodating representatives of the press from every section of the country. The Rev. Dr. S. M. Neel, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Kansas City, offered prayer. The Democratic mayor of Kansas City, James A. Reed, welcomed the delegates to the city. A yell of applause greeted his announcement that the convention was gathered upon Democratic soil and as the guests of a Democratic constituency that had always been in the forefront in the political fights of the country. The delegates and spectators had listened with rapt attention to the address, but heartily applauded the closing sentences. Senator Hill entered just at this moment, and the applause turned to him. "Hill, of New York;" "Hill, Hill!" they shouted. "Let's hear Hill," with a few hisses interspersed was all that could be heard, until the chairman finally rapped the hall to order. A few minutes later they renewed the call, but the audience was impatient to get on with the proceedings and showed their disapproval with hisses. When finally the chairman was able to make his voice heard he introduced Governor Thomas, of Colorado, the temporary chairman. A round of applause greeted Governor Thomas as he ascended the platform and began his speech. The delegates fretted during the deliverance of the speeches and sought more exciting themes. The second dramatic episode of the day occurred after Campau, of Michigan, had secured the adoption of a resolution for the reading of the declaration of independence. As the reading was about to begin two attendants pushed up to the platform bearing a pedestal and bust, both draped in stars and stripes. As the orator raised his voice for the first words of the immortal instrument, the draperies were thrown back diclosing a splendid head of Bryan. The effect was electrical upon the vast assemblage, which up to the moment had neither heard name nor seen the face of their leades. At 2:31 p. m. the convention adjourned until 4 p. m. At 4 o'clock, however, the committee was not yet ready to report and another adjournment was taken until 8:30 p. m. It remained for the night session to bring the most remarkable demonstration of the entire day. For the first hour the proceedings were formal and profitless, but when, at the close of the speech of Permaunt Chairman Richardson, he paid a glowing tribute to William J. Bryan, pandemonium broke loose and the historic scene of Bryan's nomination at Chicago was repeated, even exceeded, in a frenzied demonstration lasting half an hour. The state standards were wrenched from their sockets and borne aloft, a battle of supremacy was waged between the standard bearers, urged on by the deafening applause of the entire shouting, gasticulating multitude. Outside of the formal proceedings of the day, interest had centered in the action of the platform room. As the evening advanced it became known that a determined struggle was in progress, involving not only the question of incorporating a specific 16 to 1 declaration in the party declarations, but to some extent involving the desires of the prospective nominee as to the terms of the platform. While awaiting the committee's report by Governor Altigeld, of Illinois, entertained the convention with a speech. He unwittingly touched off a mind by using the expression in discussing the attitude of certain Democrats toward the silver question, "now, my friend Hill." That was as far as he went for several minutes. The name Hill again started the uproar that had marked the first session of the convention. From all sides of the hall, and particularly from the southern delegates, came lord cries of "Hill," "Hill." Mingled with calls for the New Yorker came hisses in plenty, and, despite the vigorous use of the gavel, all semblance of order was lost and nothing could be heard save the calls of "Hill" and the disapproving hisses. The band in the gallery struck up a lively air, but as soon as it subsided the uproar was as great as ever, the California delegation being prominent in calling for Hill. It was not possible for Governor Altgeld to continue immediately. As the committee on rules declared itself ready to report, Governor Altgeld discontinued his address and left the platform. The report of the committee on rules was read and adopted. The report of the committee on permanent organization brought on applause. When it was announced that Hon. J. D. Richardson, of Tennessee, had been selected as permanent chairman, cheers swept over the great audience. Chairman Thomas, after announcing the adoption of the report, without debate appointed a committee consisting of Former Governor McCreary, of Kentucky; Daniel Campau, of Michigan, and Mayor Phclan; of San Francisco, to escort the permanent chairman to the platform. Mr. Richardson repeatedly bowed his acknowledgments of the cheers that swept in wave after wave through the hall. The first token of approval given to his address was that which greeted his first mention of 16 to I. The applause however, was rather feeble and scattering. Much more energetic was the shout that followed the declaration that the coming campaign was to be a trial of the republic against the empire. Twenty minutes after Chairman Richardson, had mentioned the name of Bryan, which, like the wave of a magician, had conjured up a scene that has seldom been witnessed in a convention, he began to rap for order; but the delegates were not yet ready to yield the floor, even to the chairman of the convention. The band in the gallery started a pariolic air, and despite the continuous efforts of Chairman Richardson to restore order, the demonstration continued for half an hour. Order was finally sufficiently restored to enable the chairman to recognize Delegate J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, who made a motion that the convention adjourn'un until 10:30 o'clock a. m. Thursday. At 10:34 the chairman declared the convention adjourned. COMMITTEE SETTLES SILVER ISSUE. COMMITTEE BETTLE'S SILVER ISSUE. The platform committee, after being in session all night, decided at 3:10 o'clock Thursday morning, for an explicit declaration for silver coinage at 16 to 1. The vote stood 27 to 25. OREGON SAFELY FLOATED. The Trouble Now Is to Find a Dock Large Enough to Receive Gigantic Battleship. The United States battleship Oregon, which ran on a rock off the Chinese coast on June 28th, has been floated. Secretary Long Tuesday morning received the following cable message from Lieutenant Key, naval attach at the United States legation at Tokio, Japan, in regard to docking the Oregon: "Toxio, July 3.—Secretary of Navy, Washington: Port Arthur too narrow. If Oregon cannot dock at Nagasaki, Japanese navy department tenders use of Kuro or Yokoksuka docks. Offer any assistance desired. Has ordered Aktiushima from Chu Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled Wilde offer of docks. Kex." The naval officials are disappointed at the statement that the Oregon cannot be docked at Port Arthur, as that place is only about sixty miles distant from where she struck. Nagasaki is 600 miles, and can be reached only by the Oregon venturing far outside of smooth waters. If the docks there are too small, then she must push on to the Yokoksna docks. These are located just below Yokohama, Japan, in the harbor. MANY BODIES RECOVERED. Death List of the Great Fire at Hoboken, N. J., Still Grows. A New York special says: Up to 11 o'clock Wednesday night 128 bodies had been recovered from the waters of the North river, victims of the disast to the North German Lloyd Steam- ship line and docks. There are 'yet over 125 people missing. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY..JULY 7. 1900. ALL EYES ON CHINA Chinese Government Is Unable or Unwilling to Put-Down Revolt. VON KETTLELER HACKED TO PIECES. Killing of German Embassador Was Horrible Butchery In the Streets of Pekin. Legation Servants Burned. A Washington special say: Complications in China, the possibility of an extra session of congress and the probable recall of President McKinley to Washington from Canton, overshadows the Kansas City convention and dwarfs the Republican campaign. A member of the cabinet, who is familiar with all the details of the Chinese question, so far as official developments are concerned, in commenting upon Admiral Kempff's latest official dispatch from Che. Foo, says the point had not been reached to justify the United States in making a formal declaration of war against the Chinese government. "It is evident from the information we have received," he went on to say, "that China is in a state of revolt, and the government of the empire is unable to put down the uprising prevailing in Pekin and vicinity. We have received many conflicting reports and thus far we have no direct evidence that the Chinese government is responsible for the depredations already committed on foreigners." "To what extent must the Chinese go before our government will be warranted in formally declaring war?" I asked. "That depends entirely upon circumstances," replied the cabinet officer. "There are many questions to be considered before taking such a step. First, we must be assured that the Chinese government has violated the laws of intercourse supposed to exist between friendly powers. Then, we must be certain that the government is a participant in the depredations against representatives and citizens of the United States, or indirectly sympathizing and encouraging the violators of international agreements. "In addition, we must consider whether it will be to our advantage to go to war with China or whether we can protect the rights of our citizens without going to that extreme." KETTELER HACKED TO PIECES. Official dispatches received by the consular body at Shanghai confirm in the f腥 meet manner the report of the butchery of Baron Van Ketteler, the German minister, on June 18th. The ambassador was riding on Legation street when he was attacked by Chinese troops and boxers, dragged from his horse and killed. His body was hacked to pieces with swords. The German legation and six other buildings were burned and a number of servants of the legation were killed and their bodies thrown into the flames. Official confirmation of this glutly business has created the utmost consternation among the consuls general of the powers who express fears that a war l'outrance will be declared against the Pekin government. The consuls entertain little hope that any foreigners are left alive in the capital. There were 100 foreigners connected with the legations, fifty in the custom house. English and American tourists and others to the number of 150, and nearly 500 legation guards. WORST STORIES CONFIRMED. Bad news was received in Washington Monday morning from Admiral Kempf, concerning the worst stories which have emaunted from China relative to the conditions at Pekin and a feeling of disquiet was noticeable among administration officials and diplomats. The German embassy showed particular anxiety for information respecting the sad end of Baron von Ketteler, and in the course of the afternoon Secretary Hermann, of the embassy, paid a special visit to the state department to inquire. M. Thiebant, the charge of the French embassy, also called in quest of information, it was said. These visits revived rumors that an effort is afoot to reach an international agreement respecting the conduct of the forces of the powers in China. "SIXTEEN TO ONE" Name of Special Car Which Carried Georgians to Kansas City. "Sixteen to One," the famous car that carried Georgia's delegation to Chicago in 1896, was attached to the special leaving Atlanta for Kansas City Sunday night. It was on the trip to Chicago four years ago that the special Pullman coach which has since become the private car of superintendent V. E. McBee, of the Seaboard AirLine, was rechristened with the euphonious title of Sixteen to One. The special attracted a great deal of attention on the trip. FOREIGNERS ALL MURDERED GERMANY DECLARES WAR again squeezed out when the costly task is over. GERMANY DECLARES WAR In a Speech to Departing Marines Kaiser Declares He Will Dictate Terms to China From the "Palace in Pekin." A Berlin special says: Addressing the detachment of German marines which sailed from Wilhelmshaven for China Tuesday, the emperor made a remarkable speech, during which he notified the world of Germany's intention to avenge the murder of Baron von Ketteler, the late minister of Germany at Pekin, and the missionaries, and to dictate terms to the Chinese from the palace at Pekin. His majesty spoke as follows: "The firebrand of war has been hurled in the midst of the most profound peace. Unhappily this was to me not unexpected. The crime is unspeakable insolence; horrifying in its barbarity, that has been committed against the person of my trust representative and has taken him from us. The ministers of other powers hover between life and death, and with them comrades sent for their protection. It may be that while I speak they have already fought their last fight. "The German flag has been insulted and the German empire treated with contempt. This demands exemplary punishment and vengeance. Events have moved with frightful rapidity and have become profoundly grave and still graver. Since I called you to arms what I hoped to effect, with the help of the marine infantry has now become a difficult task which can only be fulfilled with the help of the serried ranks of all civilized states. "I will not rest until the German flag, joined to those of the other powers, floats triumphantly over China's flag and until it has been planted on the walls of Pekin to dictate peace to the Chinese. You will have to maintain good comradeship with all the other troops whom you will come in contact with over yonder. Russians, British and French, all alike, are fighting for one common cause—for civilization." The emperor's address is commented upon enthusiastically by a majority of the press. Foreigners All Killed. "Not a single foreigner now alive in Pekin," is the Chinese report which has reached Shanghai. Other Shanghai reports describe the condition of the British legation as awful. It is said that the rooms of the legation were filled with sick and wounded, the killed lying unburied in heaps. It is believed that many members and officials of the tsung li yamen perished when the German guard, maddened by the murder of Baron von Ketteler, the German minister, set fire to the building. That the foreigners at the Chinese capital have been abandoned to their horrible fate no longer seems open to doubt. Advices from Shanghai, under date of July 4th, were, in effect, that three Chinese servants of foreigners have escaped from Pekin, and report that all the foreigners, 1,000 in number, including 400 soldiers, 100 members of the Chinese customs staff and a number of women and children held out until their amunition was exhausted in the British legation. The legation was finally burned and all the foreigners were killed. Relief of Pekin Impossible.. A dispatch received in London from Taku dated Saturday, June 30th, and Che Foo, Tuesday, July 3d, says that the British and Russian admirals, at a council of war held on June 30th, decided that it was impossible to attempt to relieve Pekin without greatly increased numbers. They also conclude that it would be possible to hold Tien Tsin, but in the event of this not proving feasible, they will endeavor to retain possession of Taku. It is beginning to be felt in London that the plausible fiction that no state of war exists is no longer tenable, and a fully equipped modern army belonging to a single nationality is necessary to deal with the situation instead of the expedition of a dozen nationalities. Hence arises the demand that Japan shall be given a mandate to complete the work left undone in 1894, with proper security that she shall be Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, 50c. for Three Months; Single Copies Co. In Advance. Shanghai reports that the international forces at Tien Tsin are suffering from lack of good drinking water, owing to the Pei Ho river being choked with the corpses of Chineses and other victims of the bombardment. According to the same dispatch, the international troops, so far from being strong enough to advance toward Pekin, are not sufficiently numerous to attack the Chinese still surrounding Tien Tsin and keeping up a desultory fire on the place. Hay Receives Cablegrams. Secretary Hay has received cablegrams from Consul Goodnow from Shanghai dated July 3 and United States Consul McWade at Canton. The one from Goodnow is as follows: "On June 27th there were two legations standing. Prince Tuan and his force of boxers are in control of everything. Complete condition of anarchy in streets." Prince Tuan is said to be publicly beheading all the legation guards captured by the Chinese. Foreigners Fought Desperately. Couriers who are arriving at the seats of government of the southern viceroys from their agents in Pekin give vivid, but fragmentary pictures of what is being enacted in the orient. They report that the heads of some of the captured legation guards were being borne through the streets on the top of spears, followed by zealots chanting "Tapi Wang Kuei Tse Tapi Tapi" (Kill the foreign devils; kill, kill.") The city's millions have been roused to patriotic fervor, breaking out into the wildest excesses, while over half the city could be heard fighting around the legations. One of these couriers who was interviewed by the correspondent of the London Express at Shanghai, supplemented the tragic sentences of the dispatch he bore by a narrative of some things he saw. He says the foreigners were making a last stand in the extensive buildings and inclosures of the British legation. They had many dead and wounded. Among them were some women and children. All were short of food, even for the commonest necessaries. The women were starving, as they gave a part of their small allowance to the children. The foreigners, nevertheless, were holding out under a terrible fire, upheld by the hourly expectation of relief. They knew they would not be abandoned, and that the armies of their governments were advancing. Sometimes they thought they could hear artillery in action beyond the wall. They were unable to return the fire of the Chinese, except at moments when an assault seemed imminent. Then the machine guns and repeating rifles tore the storming parties to pieces. The messenger expressed the belief that it would be impossible for the foreigners to exist much longer, as the Chinese were preparing to batter down the walls of the courtyard and ammunition was running low. Orders were given by Prince Tuan, the messenger says, that since some had been killed, not one other foreigner should be left alive. The Chinese soldiers were exhorted to sacrifice their lives without hesitation, if by doing so they could help exterminate the "wang kuei tse." Extreme precautions had been taken to prevent the foreigners from communicating with anyone outside the city, and a number of runners who were sent out were killed by the Chinese. This messenger succeeded in getting through by smearing his face and clothes with blood and joining in the outcries against the "devils." He passed the remains of foreigners of Admiral Seymour's force, who had been killed between Lang Fang and Lo Fu. Their bodies had been cut to pieces and their heads were carried at the ends of bamboos. CHINESE WAR DECLARATION. Imperial Decree Just Issued Urges Bloody War Against Foreigners. A New York Herald dispatch from Shanghai, July 3d, says: The following Imperial decree, dated Pekin, June 25th, has been sent by the courier to Pao Ting Fu, and thence telegraphed broadcast: "We are now warring with the foreigners. Boxers, patriots and people, combined with the government troops, have been repeatedly victorious in battle with our foreign enemies. We have already sent imperial commissioners to transmit the imperial praise and exhortation to repeat these successes. NO 39 SNELL PAYS PENALTY Former Georgian Hanged at the National Capital. KILLED A THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD GIRL. Owing to Snail's Heavy Weight, the Kope Cut Through and Amost Deprimented Him. Benjamin H. Snall, formally of Georgia, paid the death penalty on the scaffold in the district jail at Washington Friday for one of the most flendish murders ever committed within the confines of the District of Columbia. His victim was Lizzie Weisenberger, a little white girl, thirteen years old. Snell was a clerk in the pension office, a giant in size, measuring six feet six inches and weighing nearly 200 pounds. The drop fell at 12:07 and his neck was broken by the fall of 5 feet, and the rope cut through to the spinal column, almost decapitating him. There were only a few present at the execution, but among them was Karl Wiesenberger, the father of the murdered girl. The crime for which Snell paid the penalty was committed August 6th, 1899, at the residence of the victim's parents. The evidence on the part of the prosecution tended to show that Snell went to the house of Karl Weisenberger, father of little Lizzie, that morning and asked for a drink of water. There being no water in the house, Mr. Weisenberger went to a hydrant, some distance away, to procure some. Thereupon Snell passed through the house and entered the kitchen, where Mra. Mary Weisenberger, the wife of Karl and mother of Lizzie, was preparing the morning meal. Snell greeted her in his usual manner, to which she responded by ordering him out of the house and accusing him of having seduced her daughter Lizzie. Snell thereupon went from the kitchen into the adjoining room, where Lizzie Weisenberger was sleeping, draw a razor from his pocket and cut her throat, inflicting five wounds and nearly severing her head from her body. When the mother, hearing the cries of her child, rushed into the bedroom to protect her, Snell assaulted the mother, cutting her twice. Snell knocked the woman down and made a break for liberty and was chased several blocks before being captured and disarmed. He at once feigned insanity, and made that his plea in the trials that followed. SEYMOUR'S CASUALTY LIST; Allied Troops Killed In Battles With Boxers sand Chinese Soldiers.. According to a message from Admiral Seymour, casualties in the battles with Boxers and Chinese troops up to last Friday were as follows: "British killed 27, wounded 75. Americans killed 4, wounded 25. French killed 1, wounded 10. Germans killed 12, wounded 62. Italians killed 5, wounded 3. Japanese killed 2, wounded 3. Austrians killed 1, wounded 1. Russians killed 10, wounded 27." Hung Chang Orders Over a Hundred Pirates and Boxers Beheaded. The Canton correspondent of, The London Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated Thursday, says: "One hundred and thirty pirates and boxers were beheaded yesterday by Li's orders to terrorize law breakers. The United States steamship Princeton has been ordered to Canton." Dig Naval Vessel Reported Ashore Fifty Miles From Che Foo. It is reported in Shanghai that the United States battleship Oregon is on shore on the island of Hoo Kie, in the Miao Tao group, fifty miles north of Che Foo, and that a steamer of the Indo China Steam Navigation company has gone to her assistance. Queensland Is Patriotic. The government of Queensland has offered the British admiralty a boat for service in Chinese waters. HUMOR CAUSES APPREHENSION. Alleged Discord Between Russians and Angle-Americans Worry Officials. The officials at Washington receive with regret and concern the reports from the Cee Foo that discord exist between the Russian and the so-called Anglo-Americans. Coming from the officers of the Terrible, it is considered as largely "sailor talk." At the same time it has been recognized from the outset, that such heterogeneous forces gave opportunities for serious division, as it is well known that the sailors and soldiers in certain countries do not like to accuse under a foreign superior.

Is afflicted with Thompson's Eye Water OREGON ON A ROCK Our Big Battleship Meets With Accident On Chinese Coast. THE NAVY DEPARTMENT IS ADVISED Vessel Was Hurrying To Chee Foo and Struck Plinnacle Rock During a Dense Fog—May Yet Be Saved. The following dispatches were received at the navy department Saturday morning relative to the grounding of the battleship Oregon: "CHE Foo, June 29.—Secretary of the Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles south of How Ke Light, gulf of Pe Chile. Sent out two boats and sounded—least water five and half fathoms. Weather clear. Got under way and struck Pinnacle rock. Much water in the forward compartment. Perfectly smooth. Shall charter a steamer if possible at Chee Foo and lighten ship. Rock through side of ship above double bottom about frame 19. Small holes also through bottom of ship. "WILDE." "CHE FOO, JUNE 29.—Secretary Navy: Iris gone to assistance of the Oregon. RAYMOND ROGERS, "Commanding Nashville." "HONG KONG, JUNE 29.—Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Princeton arrived. Brooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The Zafro, at Che Foo, has been sent to assist Oregon, reported by Rogers on a rock south of How Ke light. Iris going to her assistance. REMRY." Captain Wilde's statement of the injury sustained by the Oregon is not sufficient for the department to form a definite opinion as to the prospects of saving the famous ship. They say, however, that the ship probably can be saved, if the weather does not become rough, but unfortunately this is the season of storms in Chinese waters. The point where the Oregon grounded is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles west of Pinnacle rock, where she struck. At the request of the secretary of the navy, the state department sent a message to the Russian government at St. Petersburg asking permission to bring the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked there in the event the ship can be floated. At that point is the nearest dock of sufficient size to dock the ship, and it is part of the navy yard possessions of the Russian government. Secretary Long will spare no reasonable expense in the effort to save the Oregon. Her total cost was $5,575,-032. On this total the hull and machinery represented $3,222,810. The Oregon made herself the most famous ship in the American navy, and the best known ship in the navies of the world by her remarkable race from San Francisco around Cape Horn to join the fleet at Key West just before the war with Spain was declared. It was a feat unequaled in the annuals of naval history, and an unprecedented test of the capabilities and power of a modern warship. The Oregon, under command of Captain Charles E. Clark, began her long race of 14,000 miles against time from San Francisco on March 19th, 1898. She arrived at Jupiter Inlet, Fla., on May 24th and communicated with the navy officials at Washington. Secretary Long ordered Captain Clark to report to the Norfolk navy yard if his ship needed overhauling; if not, he was to go directly to Key West. Two days later, or on May 26th, the Oregon joined the fleet at Key West. She had steamed the 14,700 miles at racing speed without the slightest impairment of her delicate machinery, or a break of any kind. The civilized world rang with praises of the magnificent performance of the ship and her heroic crew. The Oregon participated in the attack on Santiago and with the Brooklyn prevented the escape of the Colon in the memorable sea fight of July 4th. During the chase of the Colon the Oregon developed a speed of eighteen knots under forced draft. When peace was declared with Spain the Oregon was sent to Manila. Some days ago the vessel was ordered to China, and had nearly reached her destination when the accident occurred. GENERAL PILAR CAPTURED. He Was the Most Aggressive of Aquinaldo's Lieutenants. A Manila special says: General Fio del Pilar, the most aggressive and most persistent of the Filipino leaders has been captured and made a prisoner at Guadaloupe, six miles east of Manila, by some of the Manila native chiefs. Hauna Wlll Hold On. A Washington dispatch says: It is stated on high authority that Senator Hauna will succeed himself as chairman of the Republican national committee and will conduct the coming campaign.

MITCHELL'S MITCHELL E SA Price, 25c. Mitchell EYE SALVE Seed Bed for Late Vegetables. - Contrary to general custom the seed bed for late plants should be made as soon as the soil can be worked to good advantage. Let the soil be worked until it is as fine as the harrow or rake can make it. Then roll until the surface is perfectly smooth, after which cover to the depth of three inches with coarse stable manure. This should be left on until it is time to sow the seed, when it should be carefully raked off, avoiding breaking the surface of the soil. Make shallow trenches for the seed. Sow thinly and cover the seed with fine sand to the depth of one-fourth of an inch. This is the custom of the best seed growers on Long Island, and is one of the greatest importance, as the mulch will not only keep the soil moist, but the moist, warm air from below will completely pulverize the small lumps, leaving the soil in best possible condition for plant growth. No matter how dry the season may be, the soil will retain sufficient moisture to carry on the young plants until they are sufficiently large for transplanting. The importance of preparing the seed bed in this manner cannot be overestimated. It is utterly impossible to secure a good crop of either cabbage or cauliflower without good plants and this method, barring accident from insect enemies, will always secure strong, healthy plants. This was proved conclusively last year when those who prepared their seed beds in the usual way lost heavily, both in the quantity and quality of their plants, while those who prepared their seed beds as recommended were invariably successful. —C. L. Allen in American Agriculturalist. What to Feed the Calf. If the calf is destined for beef, feed it liberally and have it ready to sell another winter as baby beef. Give grain and good sound grain twice a day, only being careful not to increase the daily ration too rapidly, and not to overfeed at any time. It will pay to feed some grain next summer at least once a day, and it is best at night, even while on grass, and while it may not ent much while pastures are good, as soon as they fall increase the grain, and we think corn meal is the best and cheapest fattening food. But for the calf that is to be a dairy cow avoid/corn meal. Use bran or oats or a mixture of them. Never let it get either fat or lean, but try to keep up what we could call in a horse or an ox a good working condition. If a heifer is allowed to get fat before calving she will always have a tendency to turn her feed into fat instead of into milk, and into tallow instead of butter fat. The treatment during the first two years has much to do in determining what the animal will be hereafter. Shall it be the lean, pot-bellied, rough-haired sort that will be worth less money at a year old than it was at a month old, or shall it be a strong vigorous, healthy and thrifty animal, whether steer or heifer, that you can see grow every day after it is turned to pasture, and that at two years old will be better grown and better matured than the other sort would be at three years old?—Farm, Field and Flreside.

A novel fight was witnessed by the men employed at the pumping station of the Standard Oil Company near Coshecton, N. X., the other day. It was a battle between an enormous blacksnake and a skunk and it ended in the death of both combatants. The attention of the men was first attracted by the strange actions and loud cawing of a crow which was crecling about a spot in a field near by. They went to the spot and saw a large blacksnake with its head raised, and within six feet of it was a skunk which kept going about the snake as if to draw its attention from a small rock ten feet away. On this rock were five young skunks about the size of chipmunks. The snake's tail was coiled about a small oak stump and as the skunk continued its rounds the snake darted its head repeatedly at its enemy. This continued for a short time, the circles made by the skunk growing smaller and smaller. Then, quick as lightning, the skunk sprang upon the snake and fastened its teeth in the snake's neck. In an instant the snake had two collisions around the body of the skunk. The struggle continued for a short time only and then the combatants both lay dead. The snake was seven feet long. The young skunks were left on the rock as none of the party cared to get within close range of them. Medical Book Free.

If your tongue is coated, if you are billious, if your head aches, if your food rests heavy on your stomach, and if you are constipated, then the whole trouble is with your liver. What you need is a good liver pill, an easy liver pill, a-purely vegetable liver pill. You need a box of Ayer's Pills, that's what you need. These pills cure constipation, billiousness, dyspepsia, and sick headache. "I always keep a box of Ayer's Pills on hand. There is no pill their equal for a liver regulator.

No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time in warm, stuffy houses or offices or workshops. Many don't get as much exercise as they ought, and everybody knows that people gain weight in winter. As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out. But the liver was overburdened, deadened—stopped work. There you are, with a dead liver, and spring is the time for resurrection. Wake up the dead!
