? Paper For Haca Party. There ought to be a political weet ly newspaper representing each of the great parties in every county; where there is no such weekly, one ought to be established. It does not cost niuch to start or conduct a week ly . newspaper, if the ready-print co operative plan of publication is adopted. It can be "owned and edited bVt.ke*' same} man. The country w?'e$y"?as;f?r' more influence in pro BOrobri 'to-its circulation than the city daily, first, because it has behind . it^a person who is kuown to the read ers and whose character adds force to his wardg. second, because the weekly is read with more care. The cSunfty. weekly comes much nearer rejecting the "sentiment of the com . r??mty than the large daily. In fact, in every contest between the unorgan ked^ masses on "the one side and or ganized wealth on the other, the big newspapers are generally on the side of organized wealth, and this fact h'?sT hectime-so notorious that, candi dates are' often elected with practi cally jflf^of the- daily papers against t?teso.:v.:. . . The editorial page of the weekly oughts to be large enough to present briefly ifs parry's side of the ques tipftai.uppn; .which the people., are thinking. Having local as well as general polities to consider, the coun try weekly cannot, of course, give the attention . to national questions that a national paper can, for a na tional paper.,does not have to devote any space lo local questions, but each issue of th? country weekly , ought to contain a discussion, however brief, cf the more important questions be* fore the country. .?...-m-: On*~?te Cape-to-CaJro railroad, near Bulawayo, there ls to be seen the longest stretch ot track tn the world.

Necessary Increase of Price. e Tl is" a noticable fact that many newspapers which have been sold for years at one .cent a copy have been forced to advance to two cents in or der-to make a reasonable return on the capital-invested. This has been jbrougbt, about largely by the big in rCrease in operating expenses, the pay roil ori mest- newspapers having ad vanced faster than the receipts the past few years. Another reason for the advance in price is the increased eost of white paper, the increase be ing about thirty-three per cent. Cheap paper and a reasonable pay roll have made possible the one cent daily. Remove these possibilities, however, and the publishers are com pelled to seek some new method of increasing revenue. Congressman Snapp, in an address delivered, before some; Illinois news paper .-publishers, gave the editors a lot of excellent advice when he said: "You newspaper men have seen ;the price of everything else advance, but you have hun? back and refused to increase the price of your papers, Everything, has gone up. The price of labor in the printing business has advanced twice. The. cost of paper has gone up enormously. And you sat still and took the loss meekly. What you ought to do is to get to gether Ljd meet the condition hy advancing the pries of your product to the public to correspond to thf other advances.'' CHANGE UV FOOD ? Works Wooden in Health.

A HILL SIDE CHICKEN COOP. Every year during the breeding reason thousands of chicks are stunt ed and dwarfed by being overcrowd ed in undesirable coops. At the start ?hese coops are all right for fifteen or '.wenty-five chicks, but as the chicks irow larger and the weather becomes ivarmer their condition is anything out- healthful and conducive to rapid ievelopment, especially when tke :oop is closed at night. ? I have adopted the plan of substi tuting a large roosting coop for each Lhirty or forty chickens as soon as Sr: . Coop Level Placed on Side Hill. they are large enough to roost, writes a correspondent of New Eng land Homestead. This is made from i dry goods box four feet long, three feet wide and three feet high. The front and bottom are removed. Two strips are nailed perpendicular on the front corner projecting one foot jelow the bottom of tue box. This 1 raises, the front and gives the roof the necessary pitch when facing a ' down hill position. Two strips nailed ?on each side form a support for perches which are fastened together by. cross pieces so all may be re moved at _ one operation to be sprayed. W? move this coop twice a week and lt ls always clean and fresh. The open front and bottom seem a little risky, considering the possibility of wandering cats, rats "or weasles. But I we are willing to run some ris'is if I we can fill our own and custoru'V pens ia the fall with large, robust stock. This one plan has enabled us to produce Orpingtons well up to standard size, which some fail to do. The accompanying sketch of coop will explain itself. WHAT WE WANT TQ KNOW. "A heavy application of manure I alone gave slightly larger yields of I mixed hay at the first and second cut tings than a combination of a smaller I amount of manure and potash. Dur ing the sixteen years this experiment has been in progress the average yields of ten crops of corn and six of hay have been greater on the larger amount of manure alone, but not suf ficiently greater to cover the extra outlay at a cost of $5 per cord for the manure." This nugget of experi ence from the Massachusetts station represents the kind cf work that means much to farmers. PREVENTIVE FOR TUBERCULOSIS A new way of getting rid of tuber culosis among dairy cattle is suggest ed by an English authority. He notes that some members of .the herd seem to be fairly proof against the disease, and that the quality of resistance is transmissible to the offspring. He reasons that by selecting auimals which combine this power of resis tance of tuberculosis with other desir able points it will be possible to build up a strain of any of the leading breeds which would be practically proof against the disease under ordi nary conditions. Fame and fortune await the breeder who could , bring about these results.-American Cub tivator. REMEDY FOR SHEEP TICKS. Prof. James Law recommends for scab and sheep ticks a wash com posed of tobacco, sixteen pounds; oil ot tar, three parts; soda wash, twenty pounds; soft soap, four pounds; water, fifty gallons; boil the tobacco and dissolve the other agents in a few gallons of boiling water, then add water to make up the fifty gallons. This will suffice for fifty sheep. Each sheep is kept in the wash for three minutes. One pound of tobacco steeped in five or six gal lons of water is an effective cure. I The lambs and newly shorn sheep | are to be immersed in the decoction. Tobacco smoke is sometimes rec ommended, but it is difficult to make the application sufficiently thorough. To apply this, nothing is better than the patent bee smokers. The smoke should be perfectly applied at least three times, at intervals of a week, j that the pupae may all develop and the successive broods bc killed. Weekly Witness.

Laporte, Ind., Special.-One of the most grewsome murder mysteries iver unearthed in this section of the sotmtry came to light when the bodies of five persons, all of them murdered, were found in the yard of ihe home of Mrs. Belle Gunness, who, irith three of her children, was hum id to death on the night of April 18th. So far, only two of the bodies have Seen identified. These are Andrew Seldgr?n, who came to this city from Aberdeen S. D., for the pur pose of marrying Mrs. Gunness, trhose acquaintance he had made' through a matrimonial bureau. The Jther is that of Jennie Olsen Gun ?ess, a Chicago girl, who had been idopted by Mrs. Gunness. She dis ippeared in September, 1906, and it WSLS said had gone to Los Angeles io attend school. The other bodies leere those of two men and a woman. NTone of them has been as yet identi aed. The body of Heldgren was dis membered and the arms, legs, trunk and head were buried in different parts of the yard. It is believed by the authorities that Guy Lamphere, who has been ander arrest since the burning of the Uunness home, on the charge of mur iering Mrs. Gunness and her family, jommitted the Heldgren crime. LampEere is a carpenter and the a?anner in which the body of Heldg ren was dismembered leads to the belief that it was done by somebody familiar with the use of a saw. In some quarters it is believed that Mrs. Gunness may have known some thing of the murders of the five peo ple. There have been rumors that Jennie Olsen Gunness had knowledge >f the manner in which the first hus band of Mrs. Gunness came to his leath in Chicago. Little is known, however, on this subject. It is known that Heldgren had loaned $1,500 to Mrs. Gunness and that he had another $1,500 in his Dossession just prior to his death. lt is believed that he was killed by Sirs. Gunness or by Lamphere or by both of them in order to procure the gash he had and to avoid the neces sity of repaying the loan he had oiade. CONDITION OF THE COTTON OBOF. ?he Season Has Opened Bather Favorable With A Few Set-Backs. The Cotton Crop Report issued by Messers. W. F. Klumpp and Co., lotton merchants, of New Orleans, is Sptimistic in tone and gives a fair summary of the state of the crop to sate, the report says: The Cotton Acreage for 1908 as Indicated from the most reliable re ports, shows an average increase of shout 8 per cent, over 1907, and in consequence of the unusually favor able weather for farm work, so far this season, the tendency in all sec tions has been to plant more cotton than last year. The use of Fertilizers has been liberal in all districts, and with the splendid weather up to within the past week, the crop has made rapid progress. Recent reports from sectiono of Oklahoma, North and West Texas, show the crop suffered lately, from jool weather and excessive rainfall, tausing overflows in thc bottom lands,, still there is ample time with dry weather to replant any part of the crop damaged. Taking the condition as whole the prospects so far. arc good and the outlook in general favorable.

Queen Victoria commanded Madame Sterl ing to sing before her. Without any thought of offending, the singer re plied simply that she was sorry, but on the evening designated she was engaged to sing for a charity; she would be pleased to sing for her maj esty the next week. The consternation among court of? flcials was great. What would have happened if the singer had not been prevailed upon to break her engage ment and comply wi.h the queen's behest only a Lord Chamberlain knows. Even a Lord Chamberlain could not prevail on her-to break her rigid resolution against wearing a low dress it a concert, ard court cus tom had td yield to her.
