PUBLIC SALES.

The Democrat last year printed 90 per cent of the sale bills for all the public sales in Jasper county. Why was this? Because we get up the best bill of any print shop in Northwestern Indiana and give a free notice of the sale (in full) in The Democrat, the most widely read paper in the county, and the notice in the paper goes right into the homes of the farmers and does more good than the bills themselves. This year we are again prepared to haudle this class of work in an even more complete and satisfactory manner than last, having added to our supply of stock cuts and display type, besides having greatly increased the circulation of The Democrat in all parts of Jasper county. If you are going to have a sale it is to your financial interest to have The Democrat priut the bills therefor. Orders by mail will receive special attention. The Democrat handles Farm Leases, Mortgages, Deeds and other legal blanks.

SPIED PIT LIFE” —That’s what a prominent druggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don’t use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connection with Scott’s Emulsion hat they are worthy of >ccasional note. From infancy to old age Scott’s Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying “improper and weak development, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emulsion itself.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Cow Itatle Ventilation. Not one cow stable In a thousand in the oldest dairy districts is properly ventilated. Is It any wonder that cows become diseased, that tuberculosis and n host of other diseases take bold of the cows In these close, foul stables? One would think the dairy farmers would take hold of this matter for the sake of their own property—the cows. But a talk with them will reveal that 99 per cent take no stock In the idea that pure air is necessary to keep a cow healthy and make her more profitable. Now, we all need warm, clean stables, with pure air. Most every man knows that cows must be kept warm if they are going to give their best profit. Accordingly the farmer will shut the cows up at night in a close stable In order to keep In the heat, and by morning it is enough to knock a man down when the stable door Is opened. No better breeding place for tuberculosis could be found than such a stable If there is one diseased animal.—Hoard’s Dairyman. At Cxlviag Time. A good feed after calving Is made by pouring hot water over three pounds of oats or bran and letting It set for half an hour before feeding. A mild dose of epsom salts just after calving will act as a laxative. A pail of warm water, especially during a cold period, will be appreciated. Keep the cow warm and away from the cool drafts of air. At the beginning of the milking period the cow should be fed lightly, gradually Increasing the grain ration until the full flow of milk has been obtained. It is well to feed liberally, but never overfeed. Common sense and lots of it must be used. Remember that whatever adds to the comfort of the dairy cow adds to the yield in the milk pail. Care of the Stock. This should take precedence over the other kinds of work, says American Agriculturist The aulmals are now in their winter quarters and wholly dependent on the owner or caretaker. Their present condition and future usefulness will largely correspond with the carefulness and good Judgment exercised In their favor during the coming few months. The farmer who spends the necessary time and labor in this work may reasonably expect to receive a corresponding reward now and later on. Comfortable stables, judicious feeding and kindly treatment are things that will pay right along. Breaking a Colt. A very good way to halter break a colt is alongside a horse, says American Agriculturist. The rider then acts both as a leader and a driver. Some tie the colt to the harness of the work horse or trotter. This is a good way, as it not only teaches it to lead, but also its place. Put on the harness very gently and let the colt got used to it. Then drive it, using two short lines. When old enough to endure light work, give it lessons with the wagon, plow, harrow or any other two horse implement, always beside a trained horse to act as teacher.

Feedlnr the Sows. If you desire prolific sows you must give a variety of feed and but little corn some weeks before breeding. If possible have them on grass. The general condition of the sow’s system at the time of breeding has much to do with the size of her Utter. Healthy, vigorous condition, with a very small amount of heating food and as much exercise as possible at the time of breeding, aids materially in giving a numerous farrow. Ferdlna Colts. Oats lead the list of feeding stuffs, but shorts and bran and barley, peas and some corn may be profitably used where economy is important, says American Agriculturist. Steamed crushed oats or barley thickened with brau will prove very nourishing and appetizing where colts are suffering from teething. A limited quantity of cooked roots mixed with ground grain and bran given at night in winter time daily or two or three times a week will show in a more thrifty general appearance. Butchering the Hoar. In sticking the bog care should be taken to run the knife straight in so as to sever one of the jugular veins. If the point is allowed to project sidewise it is apt to penetrate the shoulder and leave a blood clot there which destroys its value largely. One does not need a long knife for this purpose, as there is no necessity of penetrating into the vital organs. Simply sever the jugular veins. + The Stable Doer. On some farms the doorways of horsff stables are old style and too narrqw for a large horße easily and safely to pasa through. It is noticeable that some horses will rush through a doorway very quickly. They probably have been hurt sometimes or received a knock that is not forgotten. Better put in a wider stable door and show the horse he Is not going to be hurt. The Farm Home. If you have a farm, go to work and make a home out of it. Do not be digging for dollars all the time, but put in a good part of the time in making your home as It should be. Make the house convenient for the wife and have a home which you are not ashamed to call your own. A Handy Wagoi. Every farmer ought to have a lowdown platform wagon arranged so that crated aides can be put on, for the removal of animals, dead or alive. In this way live calves can be transported comfortably, not being jostled about as Is the case In boxes.—Farm Journal.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

labor Leader In Britain’s Cabinet. The recent appointment of John Sums of Battersea as president of the local government board in the Camp-bell-Bannerman cabinet Is the first lbstance of a labor leader in a British cabinet The rapid rise of the labor leader from the workshop to the cabinet with a salary of SIO,OOO a year, has been much commented upon, but it is generally agreed that the honor is well deserved. The native ability that brought him out of lowly surroundings has made him far superior to the average commoner

JOHN BURNS AS A CRICKETER. of invested wealth. The present parliament has thirty labor members, half a dozen of whom are classed as Socialists and an equal number as independents, the remainder acting with the Liberals. Practically all these men receive salaries by subscription from their constituents, as members of parliament are unpaid. Like most Englishmen, titled and otherwise, Mr. Burns is fond of a game of cricket, and when the cares of state permit indulges in the pastime. Mr. Burns is forty-seveu years old and has been In parliament since 1802. Tall Queens and Little Klines. This is the age of tall queens and small kings. It is a curious fact that in the case of nearly every royal married couple iu Europe the wife is considerably taller than her husbaud. The czar, who is considerably below the average height of meu, is fully a head shorter than his beautiful and majestic czarina. The kaiser, who is a well known man, is nevertheless overtopped by the German empress. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy scarcely reaches up to the shoulders of Queen Helena, who is an unusually tall woman, while be is an unusually diminutive man. ” King Charles of Portugal Is also overtopped by his queeu, although he makes up In rotundity of body what he lacks in height. The king of Spain is below the average height of men. and Princess Marie Antoinette of Meeklenburg-Schwerin, who. It is rumored, will be his bride, la a very tall girl and will tower above him.—Forget-Me-Not. Boston’s New Mayor. John F. Fitzgerald, who has just been chosen mayor of Boston by the regular Democratic organization, has long been a prominent figure in the political life of that city. The campaign was the most bitter on record in Boston, a large section of

JOHN F. FITZGERALD.

the Democratic party, led by the machine managers, having opposed Fitzgerald for the nomination and either supported him in a-lukewarm manner or Openly opposed him in the campaign. The newly elected mayor is forty years old. He has served in the common council and the state senate and was three times representative in congress from the Ninth district. He ia now editor and proprietor of a weekly paper, The Republic, published In Boston.
