Watson gave out a state' . meat at New York Sunday, which, in c.' part, is as follows: "It should be borne in mind that at the time the Springfield. convention tendered me the presidential nomination, the people's party had had no & ? real existence as a factor in national IpoiitiC3 for eight years. In the presidential election of 19uu it gave to its nominee only 5,COO votes. To that extent had the fusion of 1896 swallowed up a movement which in 1S94 counted nearly two millions of voters, and about 1,500 active newspapers, and therefore, we bad to build from tbe ground, up in 1904. " We had almost nothing:to start with in the way of party organization, campaign .funds and newspaper support; we had only three months in which to work. , These things being first considered, some fair idea of what was accomplished can be had only when the official returns are known. ."Up to this time no official statement has been made of the vote, and I can only guess what it was from information conveyed to me by friends in various parts of the country. These sources, of course, are not very reliable. Basing an estimate upon them. I however, my opinion is that I xeceived something like half a million votes, scattered through so many states, north and south, east and west, to in-? dicate that the sentiment which gives Its moral support to the people's party Is national and not sectional. "I have found everywhere that the , current was strong and deep in favor of Jeffersoniazl democracy. I believe today that if all those who believe in that theory of government could be united in harmonious political action, i we could sweep the country. "Mr. . Koosevxelt's overwhelming majority was not so much due to the feet that our people believe in class j legislation and the reign .of special - jfrivileges. It was not by r ny means an indorsement of corporation ' tyranny, i the greed of the trusts or the meth* | rt ods of combined capital. Mr. Roose- j veifs majority over Mr. Parker was .due mainly to two things one was the gg immense personal popularity of Mr. 1 I Roosevelt himself, and the other was i the immense unpopularity of Mr. i Cleveland's second administration, j Unfortunately for Mr. Parker, he be- j came so completely identified with the j marauders who plundered the govern-, ment during Mr. Cleveland's second j administration that he had to bear all j the odium which they had incurred. Watson's Plan for Future. "My own plans for the future em' j brace a complete organization of the people along the lines of Jeftersonian j demopracy, the re-establishment of re- ! form papers, and a systematic propa? j ganda of Jeffersonian principles in or- j ; der that in 1908 there shall be a party j of genuine opposition to the republic! can party and its present policies. If j political history teaches anything, it is i that old parties never accomplish any j pt reform unless they are irresistibly driven to it by pressure from without. j|_V - I hope at least to be of some use tc j my country in aiding those who wilt j Sj|-7 apply that pressure. It is immaterial i HpV. me does the work which the J Bp" .reformers want done, so that the work , itself Is done. "I have no faith whatever that re!fr forms will be accomplished by the pv democratic party. It is discredited in gp/i' the eyes of the people by a series of R||-: ; crushing defeats, but It has been so ||& vaccilating In its course, It has chang- j fe""' ed Its principles so often, has run from Bfi.'T- one extreme to another. so recently, pf had such a magnificent opportunity In 1892 to work out the reforms to p?; which it stood pledged and made such a wretched use of that opportunity that it cannot Inspire the confidence |||; / which leads to success. Since 1892 pV i the democratic party has almost en&" * tlrely- boxed the compass .in political profession of faith. It nas been, for 5; pretty much, everything until this year, when it stood for everything or nothing, according to the interpretation ri which the voter chose to put upon its ambiguous platform."

I ? A Baltimore special of Friday says: That an official count of the ballots cast for the presidential electors in Maryland will be required before defj inite knowledge of the result can be j assured, has been demonstrated by the semi-official count in Baltimore city and in twenty of the twenty-three counties of the state. The returns received thus far inlicate that seven democratic and one republican elector were chosen. The congressional situation remains unchanged?three democratic and three republican congressmen having been elected. The state board of canvassers, consisting of the state comptroller, the secretary of state, the clerk of the / rvnrf nf nr*ripal4 iirwl fhA a-ttnrnev !?en eral, will make the official announcement of the vote. This board mi^st meet and complete ies labors within thirty days after the day of election. It is explained by the election supervisors and the political leaders that the mistaking of ballots caused the discrepancy between the vote for the national and congressional candidates. In j this connection charges of fraud are ! made by the leaders of either party ! and It. will be necessary to await the | official count to decide upon the ultii mate result. HAY REMAINS IN CABINET.' i ? President Roosevelt Makes Positive Statement to that Effect. A Aashington dispatch says: Pres! ident Roosevelt made the announce! ment that John Hay would continue j as secretary of state during the four : years beginning March 4 next. ; "You may postively state," were his ; words, "that Mr. Hay will continue as i secretary of state up to the 4th of : March 1909." The president was asked regarding | other possible cabinet changes, but inj dicated that there was nothing to be ; said at present. His announcement re | garding Secretary Hay was made to a number of newspaper correspondents. Mr. Hay's retention of the state- de; partment portfolio fixes the most imi portant place in the new cabinet, and | Is the first and only step so far take-i | in that direction.

I I Corn Well by Poultry. i Test* made in Germany in regard to i the digestibility of Indian corn by chickens show that of the pro; tein, 84.4 of the fat and 1)1.7 of the | starchy material is digested, also 4o..\> ; of the mineral matter. It appears tlrat chickens can digest grain more thor- , I oughly than the animals, hence the I grains possess somewhat higher feedi ing value 011 this account. 1 TtAtucliKv f ftiA h'ti inro < ' ; It is possible; oven to-day." although i the process, it is coulidently hoped i and believed, will be speedily further j perfected, to pass 211 ilk drawn from the ! cow by tiie aid of a milking machine j direct into the separator, which is atj tncheri to a butter maker, i. e., a maJ chine which first skiuis the cream, and j then churns it into butter?in a word, j to make butter practicail.v direct from 1 j the cow.

UVUl.XUU j 1 Work and Poultry. I (rive fifty hens? one acre and they xviil need but little heip?not as much | as is required for a cow when she is ; on the pasture. Why would not a farm on which the hens can have plen; ty of room pay? Then there is the j work. If one attempts to avoid work j it is best not to begin. The hardest work the farmer can do is to rise at 4 o'clock in the morning, milk the cows, 1 (in winter) ship, the* milk, feed the cows, clean out the stalls, and repeat J the same at night, including Sundays. | It is really inconsistent for a dairyman I to complain of work with poultry, as { ! the keeping of cows to supply milk is { ! hard work at all times. 1 1 , ?' Crackers For Vouuj Chicks. I i Soaked crackers and soaked broad ! are often recommended as food for 1 young chickens, but I don't recollect i ever having seen dry crackers men- 1 tioned, says a writer in Country Gen- t tleman. For several years I have giv- j en my newly hatched chickens no food but dry Boston crackers and cold wa- < i ter. Since adopting this method I f ' ' " '1 1 - T 1-.??

I break* up a ! cracker with niv fingers, and the litI tie ones pick up the minutest particles, i the mother hen reducing the larger | pieces to the proper size. If one has I incubator chickens, it would be ncces! sary to pound or grind the crackers, but I doubt not that the chicks will thrive as do mine. * Horses Must Have Oats. Oats seem to be the natural grain for horses, and every attempt to substitute any other grain, in considerable quantities, always brings trouble for the horse. There is loo much corn fed on the average farm, and while it is admitted that when one grows corn in abundance it is a most natural thing to use it, there is no doubt but what all farm animals have more corn than they ought, and this is particularly true of horses. The writer urges farmers not to mfi.ke this mistake, for they do it at the expense of the years of the horse, even if serious trouble does not result imme- < dlately. Sell corn enough to buy what < j oats the horse should have. An occa- < i sional feed of cornmeal. bran and oil \ j meal will not injure the horse, but the ( i bulk of the grain given it should be i j oats. 1 Fertilize For Cabbage. . j Experiments were recently made by ! a foreign experiment station to deterj mine the effect on the.^'ield of cab- j j bages which had been fertilized. The j field selected for the experiments was i of soil of medium loam from fifteen to j eighteen inches deep, and which had , i not beeu manured previously for forty } I years. It was ascertained that the ! largest salable heads were secured j from the plant fertilized with thirty | to:is of manure, 225 pounds of sulphate , of ammonia, 050 pounds of basic slag .< . and 175 pounds of muriate of potash.

I Breod* For Beginners. j It is very difficult to advise one what ' breeds to select without knowing for j what purpose the fowls are to be 1 i raised. If one wants but a few for ' home purposes, it is best to select the larger breeds, Mich as Plymolth Rocks, j Wyandottes or Light Brahmas. All of them lay fairly well and the carcasses i are large and plump. If eggs are : maiijly desired, then the smaller breeds, such as the Leghorns or Min-k orcas, should be chosen. It is a matter of personal opinion as to whether the j white or brown Leghorn, or black or1 jvhite Minorca is the most desirable. . If one has but a limited range for the f ' fapfh*; fowls during tiie sainnier the larger j breeds should be chosen by all means, for the smaller breeds, and especially the White Leglxorus. are impatient of ; dose quarters and fret under confine- ! i illtflll. - ? . I Dunne: the summer, if the fowls are ; an the range, where they can obtain ' more or less grass and insects, the best grain . food . is . wheat, - -buckwheat,' j craekecDeorn in small.Quantities of mil- | let.' Do not feed poultry oiudi whole j corn during'warm weather, as it is j too fattening and will sto^L their laying i quickly. If the grass supply is smaS, 1 green food of some kind' must be givpn "daily, and there must be a good supply of fresh, clean water, given several-times a day. Field Culture of Cabbage. Cabbages, which are often consid- j ered superior in feeding value to tur- j nips, are cheaper to grow than a root j 0 rwl av/iollont fnnfl for ! 1 4 (lUU WHO lUUig VAVwaavuip , sheep and dairy cows. Deep, adhesive | loams are best, but the crop is suitable i for the stiffest soils, provided they are j deeply. worked. I.iberal manuring is essential, from j twenty-live to thirty tons of barnyard j manure per acre being a good dress- ; iug. This should be supplemented j with from 200 to 200 pounds superphos- { pliutes. Top dressings of from 100 to j .'(H) pounds of nitrate of soda are profit- ; :ib!c when the young plants have j well started, and again when the 1 heads have begun to form. The light-J or the soil the greater the quantity of ; manure required. Seed may be drilled j in rows or started in a seedbed. The former method is both cheaper and bet- i tor in the end. Drill four to six pounds ' per acre. From one to two pounds sown oil a rod of good seedbed will produce enough plants for an acre. 1'he rows should be about,twenty-four inches apart, and the plants a like distance asunder in them. The enemies >f the ca-bbage crop are in some degree identical with those of turnips. The i-abbage worms cause great loss by :>ating the leaves.

The liest Turkey*. Always use as breeders turkey hens i 5ver one year old. Be sure they are j strong, healthy nud vigorous and of J ?ood medium size. In no instance se- j ect the smaller ones. Do not strive j ;? have them unnaturally large. The male may be a yearling or older. 1 Do not imagine that the large overgrown males are the best. Strength, realth / and% vigor, *with well proportioned medium size, are the j.nain joints of excellence. Avoid close breeding. New blood is >f vital importance to turkeys.

Mitchell, in The American Cultivator. Effect of Grooming. The skin of the horse, like that of >tker animals, is an active excretory >rgan. Supplied with almost an inlefinite number of pores, through :hese. if kept open, a continual dis?harge of watery fluid, and such other kvaste matter as is carried there by :he blood, occurs. It also contains myriads of minute glands, secreting an )lly fluid that is essential for renderng the skin soft and flexible, as well is furnishing the nourishment needed >y the hair and keeping it soft and flossy. It will not do. therefore, for ihese lores to get clogged, for in that case | :he skin would soou become dry, j rough, hard and diseased; nor is there j uuch danger of it except when the iorse is hard at work. Then the secre- j tion of watery fluid is heavier than ; tvheu the animal is idle, and if the J ;went is allowed to dry on the skin, lust will accumulate, mixing with it ind, if not cleaned off. fill and clog the lores. As a result the skin will not inlv become diseased, but the whole system more or less deranged. The impurities, unable to escape through the ; skin, will accumulate in different places and give rise to blisters, which, if neglected, may lead to blood poisoning, or something else nearly as bad. By regular, thorough grooming, how- j ever, all this ..will*: be prevented, the > pores kept open, and a healthier, thrift- j ier condition of the animal maintained. A horse having a thick, tongh skin I will endure a tolerably sharp curry- ! comb, which, used on another with a j thin, tender skin, would be a postive j cruelty. Whatever accumulations of ! dirt may be on the hair after the use ! of the skin should follow by the aid of j a good brush.

INDIANA'S LOST RIVER. | Stream Has Strange Freaks of DisappeM ing and Rising. Orleans, Ind., is situated in a vallef , which on all sides, except on the east, is surrounded by hills. Just a little distance northwest of ' Orleans is a large sand hill, which is thought to be the highest point in Orleans Township. Orleans Township is drained by Lost River and by the large sink hole near tire town of Orleans, says tire rittsburg Gazette. Many small streams and rivers .abound in this-vicinity, all of which have the habit of disappearing into the bowels- of . the earth without any system. only to burst forth miles away and continue on their course downward i to the sea. Ctiief of the rivers is Lost j River, or River Styx. Its source is in j the corner of Washington County, | from whence it flows westward into Orange County. At first'It is an insignificant, crookedly twisting creek, but tributaries add to its flow until, when about fifteen miles in length.- it lays claim to the word "river." During its journey it disappears severaltimes in the jungles and swamps, but ; the real stream sinks, which gains for j it the name it bears; beginning some | miles southeast of Orleans, there are j four of tliem at an average of about j two miles apart. In dry weather the J first sink takes in all the water, which j does not appear until at Orangeville. j ten miles west.

The sink 1s but j a huge cavernous looking hole in the ; ground, and suggests to the curious the.! entrance to liad?s. so dark and unfath- j omable is it. Light rains will overflow j the first sink and the surplus water j will continue down the weed-tangled J channel to the second. Heavy rains ; will fill the channel to the third, and ; long-continued rains will carry some I surplus as far as the fourth sink. In i the last case the water has two exits J near Orangeville. Where the water is J oZ sufficient quantity to enter the j fourth sink it rises through three open- j ings and flows on through the river i bed. This dry bed is not an open channel j and is unlike the valley of the usual j streams. Large . pland forest trees | grow along the banks, showing that for i a long time the river has been lost I in. the concretionary limestone below j the earth's surface. The underground j stream may be reached at the fourth ! sink, where the cavernous opening is j about eight feet wide and four feet j deep, the descent being gradual and j 590 feet. Before appearing at Orangeville the j river comes to the surface about two miles northeast of Orangeville. Here the stream may also be reached. In Orangeville is the rise of the river, bnt some people think that the true rise is one mile further down, on th.e Higgins farm. O. C. Salyards and some men went into one of these sinks or caves. When they started in they had to pull tho hrnsh and trnsh out of its month so they could get through. They say that the floor of the sink is just like the bed of a river, and found in these caves are grasshoppers and blind fish. When the water rises at Oraiigevilfe it just shoots up from the ground; it is very deep at this place; around the opening the banks are "ery high and deep. Her Cogent Kch Vl??
