Polk and Donnelly.
The two most conspicioas figures in
the day’s procedings, were President
Polk of the alliance and Ignatioos Don
nelly ; and their speeches before the
body were highly sensational, as well as
decidely pointed.
In the addresses of Polk, speaking of
the wrongs and oppressions heaped upon
the people by the two great parties of
the country he said.
We have presented these complaints
faithfully and persistently to the two
great political parties of this country.
We "presented them to these parties
where they could have rendered ns ser
vice, not in the political conventions,
bat we went into the halls of congress
and presented them to the two old par
ties. That was two years ago. In Jan
uary, in 1891, we went before these two
parties and laid onr complaints before
them. In January in 1892, we went
before these same two old parties and
presented onr complaints, and what has
been the answer? "Yon don’t know
what yon need." "Go home, work
harder, live closer, and keep ont of pol
itics and yon will be all right ~
Continuing, Mr. Polk said:
"Vilification,misrepresentation, abuse
and slander was the answer we got to
onr appeal for help. That body has
been in session fourteen months since
onr first appeal was filed, and there was
not one scratch of a pen on their statute

New York, Feb. 3%^-A special from
Columbus. Ohio, to the Herald says.:
.Mr. Cleveland will at once announce his
candidacy and say that only on one issne
should the campaign be made—the
tariff. He will also say on that issue he
can be elected without the vote of New
YSrk, as he can carry Illinois, Michigan,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Montana, Oregon,
and California, as well as Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire. ■
The programme of Cleveland and
Campbell is to make the fight without
regard to New York; to make it on the
tariff, and carry the states above with a
solid south.
It is in the programme for ex-Gover-
nor Gray to be the candidate for vice-
president, who, with Campbell and
others, will stamp the northwest. Mr.
Cleveland will look after the New Eng
land states.
It is learned from persons dose to ex-
Governor Campbell that he will have
considerably over two-thirds on the first
ballot in the Chicago convention, and
that Hill will get New York, eight or
nine votes in Ohio, and have straggling
delegates in the other states; bnt not
tnough to make a third of the national
convention all told. .

arrived in Detroit, accompanied by
Meson. Bishell, Gilder, of The Osntesy,
and Ben. Don M. Dickinson.
The party went at once to Mr. Dick
inson’s house, where a conference began
with the loci-1 leaders, which, it was
peoted, would bring Michigan, which is
now wavering toward Hill, back into

The platform of principles adopted
by the state democratic convention of
New York constitutes interesting read
ing since they bear so directly upon the
formation ot a platform for the demo
cratic party. The platform is as foU

currency, and led the democratic party
in pushing oh compulsory republican

not also to that coin payment of the

The democrats of New York refer
with grat ful pride to the inflexible,
sound finance of Governor Hill, who, by
efficient economy throughout his long

tbe practical extinction of our State

Most farmers raise at least a few hogs,

who consider the requirements of the

mand alone presents a field for breeders
to fill. Here are some helpful hints'from
the Philadelphia Farm Journal:
Select nice, smooth, lengthy sows,
with well proportioned bodies, if they
are to be bml for spring pigs. The ani
mal that shows a tendency to fatten
easily at any age, and one having a good
constitution and good bone, is also to be
desired. While the sow is important,
the boar is still more to be scaled for
points. He must have good qualities if
the pigs are to be depended on. He may,
however, be shorter in body. Have the
pigs arrive in March and April, and be
ready, to give them good care.
No animal more enjoys back scratch
ing or grooming than the pig, and what
animals enjoy conduces to their growth.
If yon can’t spend time to use an old hoe
or stiff broom on each animal daily, ot
hers ALL SIZES OF SWINE RUB.
range "a place where the pigs can rub
themselves. No simpler device is su
perior to a rough pole ent in the woods
and fastened at one end to the floor and
at the other to a joist four feet high.
Here all sizes rub. Next to the trough
it is the favorite place.
Do the strong animals rob the weaker
ones and so keep them back? Don’t let
the strong ones cram too rapidly nor
crowd the pnny ones at feeding time.
Stout strips of oak thrown across the
trough and held there by screws and
strap iron will do good service. A few
hard cobbles kept in the trough will
make them eat more slowly. lit the sec
ond cut is shown a good contrivance. It
consists of strong short partitions put up
across the trough so one cannot crowd
another. Where bnt two or three hogs
are kept the results of robbing are not
noticeable, but in large lots the loss is
very considerable.
A load of woods soil thrown in the sty
once a month will do much toward keep
ing the swine well and contented. It
freezes bat little, being so light and un
der trees and leaves and is nearly pi-

Mr. James A. Greer, :of Athens, Ga.,
(°ndorsed bv the editor of the Athens
Banner-Watchman) makes the follow
ing statement:
T am first cousin of tbe late ex-Gov
ernor Alexander H. Stephens, and have
been postal clerk on different railroads
since 1868. For ten years I have
CANCER been a sufferer from a cancer
on mv face which grew
worse until the discharge of matter be
came profuse and very offensive. r be
came thoroughly disgusted with blood
purifiers and pronounced them bum-
bugs, as -1 had tried many without re
lief.
Finally I was induced to use Botanic
Blood Balm (B. B. B.) The c ffensive
discharge decreased at once and the
hardness disappeared. It beeisme less
and less in size until nothing remains
except a scu. I gained fl< sh and
strength, and all who have seen me
bear testimony. I cannot say too much
in its praise.”

A TROUGH THAT PREVENTS CROWDING, i
A merciful act at slaughtering time is
to stun the victim before bleeding with
a blow between the eyes, a trifle above
the direct line. It also facilitates stick
ing. If the scald water is hot hot
enough at butchering time drop in a few
bricks or stones superheated. This is
an old and good way. A hog hanger at
killing time for the porkers is sometimes
a puzzler on a small farm where only a
few swine are fattened and theowner
does the work himself. Seven 12-
foot poles that are stocky should be cut
in the woods and hauled up beforehand,
to be convenient, these are bound to
gether as shown -in the third cat, the
feet of the uprights being imbedded in
the soil an inch or two. If the upper
crossbeam is not high enough the spread
may be lessened and the height thus in
creased at once with little trouble.
When it is desired to lower the pork for
cutting up the act may be reversed, if
the binding cords are not too tight.
The pig ought to be a prominent fac
tor in the winter dairy business. The
maker of butter or cheese can jnst as
well keep two to twenty brood sowb
and get two litters yearly to sell at six to
eight weeks old. In this way large pay
may be got for the Skimmilk or whey,
and bought foods will make the farm
richer for the cows.
A SIMPLE HOG HANGER.
The hog is a good friend to the farm
er who desires to make his farm richer
and at the same time get a good living.
The cow is not the only machine on the
farm. Successful farming is the econ
omy. of all forces.-
