"PENSION BXFOKK

Ths Indianapolis News is one of those bloodless papers that has been howling for what it calls "pension reform." Yesterday it had an editorial commending the defensive letter of Commissioner of Pensions, Lochren, in which that official attempts to defend himself for throwing upon the suspended' pensioners the bnrden_ of proof that they have the right to remain on the rolls. The News says the letter of the Commissioner should allay the fear in the mind of any man who distressed lest the old soldier should not get his rights. It says further that Mr. Lochren shows that the investigation now being' made has to do solely with the dependent pension act of 1890. Unfortunately both for the News and Mr. Lochran the facts show the apologies of the one to be insufficient, and the explanation of the other to be uncandid, if not untruthful. For in stance, those who have been dropped in thi9 county are all pensioners under the old law, and none of those under the law of 1890, so that when Mr. Lochren says that "all pensions granted nnder former laws are presumed to have been properly granted," he simply states what is not true. Snch duplicity on ths part of the Commissioner of Pensions, is not calculated to "allay the tear in the minds of those who are dis tressed lest the old Boldier should not get his rights." Turn from the editorial page of the News to its news page, where the scenes around the pension office yesterday are most graphically depicted. Even the facts presented here place Mr. Lochren in no enviable light

The reporter of the News, probably an old soldier, bat evidently a man with a heart, says:

To the most of tho men and women who have been on the rol's of the agency for so long, the day brought gladness, but there were persons to whom It brought sadness. They were the men and women who, upon presentation of their certificates, found that ihey had been dropped from the rolls since the last payment There were a great many such cases-how many It Is Impossible to estimate, as tho office will not I urnUhlnfSrmatlon on the subject. A member of the Sixth Indiana Kegiment, who emerged from the throng at 10 o'clock, related that four members of his regiment who en' tcred the office with him were Informed that they had been dropped from the rolls. "1 fought side by side with them," said he, "and I know that they were deserving men. I fnlt almost like sharing my money with them when they were Informed tnat the certificates they brought were no longer ot value."

Lee O. Harris, the poet, of Greenfield, stood beside the counter and watched the twelve or fifteen hundred men crowding forward with their certificates. "One decrepit old man," suld he, "after having struggled for half an hour, reached the counter and handed his certificate over to the clerk. The clerk went to the rolls with the bit of Boiled paper, and as he returned 1 saw a look of sadness on his lace. '1 am sorry.' said he, 'but by direction of tliu Commissioner of Pensions you have been dropped from the rollB.'

They've gone back on me, have they?' said the old man. That was all be said. Be turned and walked away, and as he passed me 1 saw Ihe tears runnlngdown his face. The incident touched me. There arose before me visions of thy bivouac, the march, the- battle have no doubt the same visions arose before the old man as be went out Into the street and to his home."

There- were many Incidents ot the character related by Mr. Harris, and there were some of a more vigorous character. Now and then a man upon being informed tha« be had been dropped from the rolls lost his temper, and expressed in language that shocked the ears of men who had fought with him his opinion of the Democratic party In general, and of Grover Cleveland, Hoke Smith and Commissioner Lochren In particular.

Many of those who were notified that they had been dropped from the rolls were Intermed, so they say, that tho order directed the pension agent to suspend payment on their certificates pending further Investigation.

FEEDING PROFITABLY.

It It a Business to B« Conducted on Boatotu Prlnolplx*. The feeding of stock both daring growth and to properly finish for market should be done on business principles. The amount of feed required to make a pound of gain should be known as well as the manner of combining the different materials BO as to form the best returns to secure the purpose for which it is being given.

It is necessary to know what it costs to grow an animal for market, and this can only be known by knowing the value of the pasturage and feed given. Get tho cost of properly fitting an animal for market, and it is comparatively easy when it is sold to know whether or not it has returned a fair profit.

So long as there is so much variation in the results secured in feeding we can hardly determine which is the best course to follow in feeding. While much has been gained in reference to improved methods of feeding, yet there is much variation as regards the rations that will secure the best results.

Of course, in summer grass can be made the principal ration, especially with nearly or quite all growing animals. But in many cases, and especially when it is desired to push the growth, something in addition must be supplied. There are few farmers that can make up the ration that will be the very best that can be supplied.

In fattening, the farmer that has plenty of corn will feed it almost exclusively. Another will feed middlings, not because he believes middlings are best, but because he has not the corn, and concludes it is cheaper to buy middlings than corn. The same holds good with nearly all kinds of materials used for feeding stock, and with all classes of animals a ration is given, not because it is known to be the best for the purpose to be secured, but because it Is most convenient. A better knowledge about feeding would not only lessen the risk of loss, bu*, in very many cases would increase the profits.

The man who knows how to feed, not only as to the best quantity, but the best rations, will be able under nearly all conditions to realize the best profits and, while much may be learned from others, there is nothing that will equal our own careful experiences.—Prairie Farmer!

years old can load with the greatest of ease. Take to your blacksmith some old rake-teeth and some double wagon tires. From the rake-teeth have as many hooks and staples made as there are crosspieces in the rack. The hooks are to be about three feet in length. From the wagon tires have strips of iron bars made, one foot long, with holes drilled In each end, as in C. Have these bars made so as to represent the letter U, and then, place them at A on the crosspieces of the rack, as represented in D, and securely bolt them. Next get as many pieces of wood, two inches square and any height that is desired, as there are crosspieces in rack and carefully fit into the U-shaped holders, as in F. By fastening the hooks, as in E, and as represented by B, you have braces to firmly hold the side pieces. Then take and nail thin basswood boards the length of the rack on the stakes and you have a rack which needs no loader.—C. Stanley Spalsbury, in Farm and Fireside.

A MOVABLE PIG CHUTE.

They say. however that they have little hope I the posts at the height the floor will be of ever getting on the rolls again unless the and light ones across the top of each Bopubllcin party gets back Into power.

Aud yet the News on its editorial page will insist that all the dropped pensioners are "tainted and fraudulent." The N ef(-i),ind Hoke Smith, and Lochren, and all snch are now having their innings, but the pendulum never swings I BO far but that it will swing back. The day is rapidly passing by when people can be hoodwinked.

The qneetion is much more easily

asked than answered. But on the other hand how can the Democratic party expect the country to trust Cleveland when it. distrusts him itself? The distrust seems to be mutual. When there is so much distrust between the party in power and the President eleoted by the I same party is it any wonder that the ople distrust both?

A MOVABLE PIO CHUTE,

to 8 inches apart to prevent the pigs slipping. Chutes are sometimes made as short as 8 or 9 feet, and though they are rather steep for the pigs to climb, are lighter to move from place to place. They are made the width of wagon beds and boarded up the sides with fence boards as shown in the illustration. This chute can be quickly and easily moved to any pen desired. A little straw or other litter strewn over the floor will usually induce the pigs to climb up it more easily and readily.— Orange Judd Farmer.

I have been bothered with catarrh about twenty years I had lost sense of smell entirely, and had almost lost my hearing. My eyes were getting so dim I had to get some one to thread my needle. Now I have my hearing as well as ever had, and I can see to thread as flno a needle as I ever did, my sense of Bmell is partly restored, and it seems to be improving all the time. I think there is nothiug like Ely's Cream Balm for catarrh. Mrs. li. E. Grimes, Rendrill, Perry County.O.
