THE PLATFORM IN BRIEF.
Tbe platform adopted by tbe Democratic
State Convention was in brief
is follows:
Tbe Democrats of tbe Empire State
)roelahn anew their devotion to the
principles of government which were
munciated by Thomas Jefferson, the
miniiov rtf tiio nartv. and !
nake tiiese declarations upon State
ssues:
The paramount and overshadowing
ssue in State affairs is between official
lonesty and official corruption. We
see again before the bar of public judgnent
the one-man power that to-day
lominates the Republican organiza:ion
of New York State.
Taxation, whether direct or indi*
ect. is always a public burden, and
however or wherever collected, its proceeds
should be strictly devoted to pubic
purposes instead of private enrichment.
Excise reform is demanded for the
i)est interests of this great State and
its numerous cosmopolitan cities. i
We favor and honest and just enforcement
of the State civil service i
laws, according to their letter and
spirit.
We are in favor of removing the
public schools and the entire educational
system of the State from the
realm oi' partisan politics, and to that
Dnd demand that a fair and honest
representation on the Board of Regents i
shall be at all times accordcd the mi- I
nority party, whichever party that !
may be.
We favor the construction of good !
roads. Such roads should be built un- j
dor a wise and comprehensive plan of i ]
safeguarding tlie interests of the tax- j
payers. Wv demand that the present |
p:rade crossing law he enforced and ;
all grade crossings abolished as rap- j ;
idly as possible.
We favor local self government for
municipalities.
We endorse the Democratis National
platform and resolutions adopted at 1
St. Louis in July last as a complete
exposition of Democratic principles !
and policies upon all the living issues
of the present time.
Japan's Sick List Xot Large.
Satisfaction is felt at Tokio. Japan, ,
that the sick list at the front

epidemics among the troops in Korea
or Manchuria.

left, under Geueral Oku. early in the j fr
morning moved from Shihi to South !
5ha and began building a pontoon ! g,
jridge east of the railway for the |
transportation of Deldpieces across rc
the river. General SanisoiioITs Cos- ; flj
sacks destroyed the military bridge j h(
icross that stream resting on the high- ,
ivay, and the railroad bridge was dam- ' w
iged so severely by Gen. Stakelberg's I V(
irtillery it was not strong enough to j ^
Jear even the enemy's lighter guns. A
letachment of dragoons, supposed to i j0
constitute part of Oku's left wing, j 1E
crossed the South Sha River west of ! j,,
:he railroad and made a reconnoissanee
:oward the east bank of the Hun River hi
jpposite Sancliiatsu, in the course of fc
svhich it engaged in several sharp ^
skirmishes with Cossack outposts. jr
The attacking force resting on tl
Shangshing evidently was the van- m
juard of Xodzu's army. It was made S(
lp of several battalions of infantry j,
ind four field batteries, with a half
squadron of cavalry. The enemy u
.helled three Russian batteries brijaded
with four battalions of Major a
General OrlofFs infantty, and was an- fl
swered with a severe fire from the Russian
;:uns. An artillery duel at long
ange lasted more than an hour. Then
he Japanese infantry advanced under
. over of their guns and opened a scat
ering fire on the Russians. Two bat- j ^
alions of the Russian infantry moved j*
south in open order, approaching the !l
rnemy's skirmish line until the faces of "
he prostrate sharpshooters were plain- ^
y visible. Steady firing was main- ~
allied by both sides until the enemy's
ravalry made a flanking charge against ?
he Russian left. Orloflf's riflemen I ;
allied quickly, repulsed the dragoons | *
md fell back slowly in good order. !
}nc of the Russian batteries scattered i
he enemy's skirmishers with a welllirected
tire, and Orloff's infantry
vithdrew toward Partapu. The Rus- M
?ian guns were shifted under fire to tj

;ast of Mukden, were fired on by his ;
ranguard, and withdrew without a
omplete idea of his strength. It is ^
in accepted fact here, however, that j.j
[vuroki is making all speed possible in [(
lis detour against this point. General
vuropatkin has disposed adequate
"orces along the eastern road, and it is i
lelieved the Japanese will not cross the '
Sun in that direction without a'disas- _
rous battle. It apparently is no part .
>f General Kuropatkln's purpose to be y
luttlanked by Marshal Oyania without
letermined resistance. The turning
actics of the enemy cannot find the
Llusslans unprepared, as in former
Uages of the Manchurian campaign.
Moreover, the relative positions of the ^
jpponents practically are the same as
lefore the battle of Liau Yang, while
he Russian commander has several ad- li
antages lie did not possess in that part
)f the country. A general engagement,
ivhether fought here, as expected by
the more practical, or around Tie Pass, d
is Russian optimists, hope, will find ol
Ivuropatkin ready for any stratagem it
Jyama may employ.

But few cattle reach the market that w

requently the case that steers could le,

at steer that can be made to take on nt
00 pounds more will not only have the w
iddltional value in weight, but will th

Marketing Prodncta.
Farmers often allow their stock to
:o on the ma-ket in an unfit condition, re
nd in consequence, realize unsatisfac- jg
ory prices. Others market fruit, vegitables,
grains, etc., without being Ij(
troperly sorted and clcaned. The diference
between marketing products ^
n this condition possible is the diference
between marketing a finished fa
.nd unfinished product, and the prices gj
eallzed are generally in proportion. g?

Tho Milk Separator. ^
When milk is run through a separ- n<
itor immediately after milking, the jj,
ream has an added quality over that
vhich is skimmed at the end of twelve
r more hours. The separator is the
lest aerator of milk yet invented. j1?
jarge city dairymen run their milk ^
hrough separators in order to aerate
t and take out the odors that may be j0
herein, and they find that the milk gJ
vith the cream put back into it is of gl
nuch better quality and keeps better ^
han that which has not been so treat- gc
;d. The use of the farm separator ei
ends toward better butter, and hence w
ligher prices for-it.

Of course, there are many highly

n the poultry yard. The writer's famlv

or nearly twenty-five years, and has

til we do that could be called a prevenive
is, that we always keep plenty of "

Value of halt Tor Sheep. tl
Experiments recently made in a
Trance for the purpose of ascertaining si
he nutritive value of salt for sheep H
toow that sheep which had been fed tt
ialt gained in weight four and a half u
jounds more than those which re- f<
?eived no salt. Moreover, the sheep n(
vhich received salt produced one and si
hree-quarter pounds more wool and y<
if a better quality than those which ei
ecclved no salt. T
It is in accord with the experiences
n this country also. Perhaps no careul
experiments have been made to
ihow these facts, as in France, yet the ^
bservations of flock masters are to
ho effect that salt is a very essential ^
hing for sheep, and it is their pracice
generally to supply it regularly. f

To Cure Mango.
Mange is not a disease in the eomnon
sense of the term, but is caused
ilther by a vegetable parasite or by
in insect, which grows in the skin.
Chere are two kinds, but both are
reated alike. The skin is first washed
vith warm water and carbolic soap
o soften it and open the pores, in
vhich the parasites are embedded; it
vill help matters to rub the skin with
L corncob or something rough to
>reak up the vessels and remove the
:rust. The parts are then dried and
ubbed thoroughly with an ointment
nade of four parts of lard, one part
lulphur and one part kerosene, adding
Lbout twenty drops of creosote to ton
>unce of the mixture. Work this well
nto the skin with a hard brush, relating
daily for two weeks or more in
>rder to destroy any new growth from
;ggs or spores.

Sowing Clover With Wheat. ri
Farmers who appreciate the value a
?f plover in farming operations are If
juite "willing to go to some trouble to <1
)btain a stand. Oftentime failure re- ri
suits, tut in many cases this failure is p
lue to some fault in the plan of sow- s;
ng the seed. Try the following plan: p
The wheat field is thoroughly prepared a
ind gone over with a spring tooth har- b
row before sowing the wheat. Level tl
the soil with a harrow and theu apply s]
fertilizers at the rate of 300 pounds per H
icre, making up a ton of it in the following
proportions: 1000 pounds of
icid phosphate, 800 pounds of kainit
ind 200 pounds of muriate of potash. P
The fertilizer is broadcasted on the ^
soil and then about eight loads of line
manure put on; then the whole field is P
harrowed two or three times, and it is v
ready for the wheat seed and clover.
The plan as outlined involves consid- c
erable labor and expense, but it is n
likely to bring desired results.?Indian- '3

While there may not be a groat deal P
of money in growing radishes, the crop "

on sells well. Naturally, the earliest v
sorts are the' most profitable, al- 0
though, if one is located near a live 11
town and will grow the radish crop 11
so that they are crisp and fresh at all b
times, it is possible to extend the pro- fl
P.table season. The Earliest Scarlet 11
is one of the best of the early sorts, a
mid as it has not been grown for sev- ^
oral season, it has proved its worth.
The skin is a rich scarlet color and ^
(he flesh white and crisp. While it is
R favorite for growing under glass, it ^
is equally profitable grown in the open 0
ground, where it matures quickly and r
thus retains its crispness. By dropping ^
seeds in the ground whenever a pulling v
is made, the radish season is consid- ^
crably prolonged and the soil made to
yield a larger percentage of profit. The v
variety is well worth planting every- ^
where.
