Abner looked up and saw the delicate looking mass in the plate not far away. It was tempting, and he rcacbed forth and took it. He had put a spoonful of the frozen mixture into his mouth, and was hesitating between surprise and delight, whoa the gentleman opposite rather abruptly aud not very pleasantly spoice: Well my friend, that is what I should call decidedly cool."

The differences betw-een the two sections result from environment and 1 fear are fundamental. Keconcili-ation is impossible except by concessions which would be equivalent to surrender, and this is not to be antici- I do not regard the movement which under various names is going on in the west and south aa.casual,'8pdradic or temporary. It is the organization of the laboring, producing and? agricultural classes for their own protection. It is not yet an array against wealth, property, corporations or capital. So far it is strictly defensive, but there are enormous possibilities of mischief.

Derision, ridicule and denunciation are not wise. Reason, argu- menij'COHiereiice, inuiMiiauuii be better. It is well to be careful in handling dynamite, especially when it happens to be intelligent and has a grievance, real or imaginary. The men of the east, who look upon it all with an amused and patronizing interest, will find that they are not guided by theircustomary penetration. Politics do not wholly, nor even largely account for the marvelous spread of the movement.

It must be described as the sudden appreciation of the power possessed by every atom in our complex and extraordinary social fabric. Men have passed from a hazy understanding of the right of individual to vote, to a realization'of the resistless power of their votes when combined. The dynamics of the western movement are not understood and- appreciated east of the Alleghenies. There is a disposition to scoff, sneer anddis-rarage which is impolite and unfortunate. This will intensify the irritation and agravate the tendency to separation.

1 The people have learned the lesson of the supremacy of numbers the power of combination. They have discovered that they are in the majority. The movement is spreading with extraordinary rapidity. Organization is proceeding in Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. In Ohio 30.000 farmers are already organized and it is predicted that there will be 300.000 before the close of the year.

The demand is for more circulating medium, lower taxation, tariff reduct ion and restriction or corporate pow ers. The agitation and discontent have been reinforced by bad crops, unpropitious seasons, debts and low Drices. An element that can not be overlooked is the dull, brutal and vulgar insolence and ostentation of the millionaires. They are vulnerable. They have not been as sagac- in the acquisition.

On this particular phase of the question much might le said, for it would be idle to deny that a fool with $1,000,000 is more harmful than a fool ith nothing but poverty to back up his "folly. When the day of rigid reckoning comes it will be seen that the existing clique of sordid silly and ambitious millionaires is suggestively close to the schemers and i tricksters who playing, upon the passions of the poor. I thought at one time.that the coa-ition of the west and south was inevitable, but this does not seem likely to occur. The race question and its incidents insure Jthe isolidity of the south and its identity With the democracy as long as the present policy of the republican party- continues. It is to a dim and unacknowledged perception Of this perhaps that the apathy and indifference, of western constituencies to the 'election bill is attributable.

The readjustment of our nniit wavX forces will affect democrats as well as Republicans. Botir parties will be compelled to rectifiy their frontiers. In Irelaud, Germany and Russia similar agitation- exists, but ihe is tJ'H'SO Society is 1 st ni tilled.

It is difficult for the average well to do man to realize the envy which possess the western settler who watch 0- i I Ul- geous train roll by his laud.

Jlrienj the fanners TIIK rOCLTBT'TARD Cro-Ired Fowl.

Mr. G. M. T. Johnson very properly believes that crossing breeds is often beneficial as adding size and vitality to progeny, where, only results in eggs and meat are desired, and in Practical Poultry Keeper: A fowl is often called for with the size of the Light Brahmas, and laying qualities of the White Leghorns.

A cross between these breeds will produce a white fowl not quite so large as the Brahmas, and more like the Leghorns for laying. A Hlack Spanish cock witir White Leghorn hens produce an excellent laying fowl. The cockerels from this cross will be marked solid white with flesh colored legs. The pullets will be with-now and then a black feather: the legs blue. A cross between Plymouth Rock and White Leghorn produces a salty blue fowl.

Cockerels have flesh-colored legs; pullets have tlue legs. They somewhat resemble the Andalusian fo Is. I do not consider them equal to either the Plymouth Rocks or White Leghorns. A cross of Plymouth Rrock and Party ige Cqclj in very much resemble the Plymouth Rock. Jt has bright yellow legs; some chicks have clean legs, and some feathered legs; a good sized fowl.

A Brown Leghorn and Silver Spangled Hamburg show color of tht? Hamburg. It much resembles the Golden Spangled excelent variety for eggs, and more hardy than the Hamburg, pure. These are crosses which hive come under my own eye. It is interesting to see liow the blood of one fowl will manifest itself in one way, and the blood of another in quite a different way. W'n two markings or characteristics clash, the weaker- must give way to the they are about equally strong.

The Dorking varieties crossed with others, never forget to put on the fifth toe, showing that is a characteristic from many generations baik. In the cross between the Black Spanish and Wiiite Leghorn, I was surprised to see how the black feathering had to give way to the white, but the Spanish held on to the blue legs never a yellow leg. In bringing new blood into any yard, the chicks want to be watched carefully, to see in what way the particular cross manifests itself. If to the detriment of tle parent stock, it will not pay to let it go any further. Overproduction is only the excess of one commodity over another.

This is not often the case really, but the lack of proper distributing facilities and the excessive charges of the transportation monopolists make an apparent glut of an article in one section when there is actual sc. re.it in another portion. When the people control the means of transportation this cry of overproduction will Le heard no longer. Midlard Mechanic. If a man owns his 'time and has it for sale, he certainly has the right to sell eight hours instead of ten, and the employer has no more ground of objection than if a farmer should decline to sell moie than eight bushels of wheat because he wishes to use the rest himself.

It is safe to say that it will be many a venr licfore another such a -ndsd arid serious efforts of sincere, honest and patriotic men often without education or discipline misled sometimes by sinster and incendiary appeals to solve the social and political problems of the nineteenth centiry. The agricultural warehouse sub-treasury scheme and the loaning of irredeemable fiat money on real estate security have few adherents thus far among the sses of the people, even among those who have been unfortunate and are in distress. -Perceiving the accelerating tendency of political power to; concentrate in few hands and the" enormous aggregation of -wealth by individuals; so that inequalities are greater" in a democracy than in despotism, they are considering the question in committee of the whole. Tliey may report progress and ask leave to "sit again, or they may rise and order the previous question if there is any filibustering. The result can not be foretold.

The problem is as old as humanity, but it has never risen under the same conditions before, so there are no precedents. They had similar troubles In Sparta' a good many centuries ago, and Licurgus divided up all th! real estate and parceled it out among the citiizens. The patricians and pleb-ians of Rome, had the same difficulty and the plebians came out ahead. But there are no precedents in history which is said to reppat itself, that apply here, because this is the first time that the experiment of popular self government the sovereignty of the people has been tried. I am not a pessimist nor a ringer of an alarm bell at midnight, but there are many indications of the approach of structural if not organic changes in our svstem.

That they will be accompanied by violent and fatal catastrophes is unlikely. These are When the supreme court declared that taxation need not be far raising mid that the power to tax was under the constitution, the power to destroy they placed in the hands of Lazarus, a weapon against which Dives has neither shield nor armor. TUB DAIKV. Fine Point in- Kutter.Sf aktng A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer offers some points on the subject of making butter of the finest quality. Is flavor in butter a natural or an ar tificial result? The early dairy writers credit flavor to the presence of butter-ine oil, always present iu butter, but lately it has come to be more largely thought by scientists that it is caused by the aromatic oils of vegetation.

This may be illustrated by feeding one cow on oatmeal, fine hay, and another cow on poor hay, onions, cabbag es, and other vegetables that have distinct volatile oils, not digestible. (Some foods may not show in the milk for the that they possess no indigestible matter, or distinct flavor.) The flavor of our best pasture grasses goes into circulation, and their presence isof great val ue, and we therefore put May and June grass butter at the front for fine flavor. In winter' we need hay cut in blossom, for then the grass flavors are most abundent and thecuiingof the hay only partially destroys them. The natural flavor of butter is one thing, an i the demands of many customers are another. Sour, sweet, ripe.

or bitter cream; salt, sugar, and all other influences are artificial, and are made more or less prominent by the skill of the butter-maker. Xow then we find a person who likes" the salt and butter milk flavor. Many assert that ripening cream by bring ing it in contact with the air is not a different kind of acidity; but they are as different for a time, as the acid of chese cured soured in whey and the same curd dipped sweet, and allowed to take acidity in warm air. The great. authority on dairying says that 'ripening cream.

fast moulds flavor, while the slower lactic acid souring of cream is not detrimental, but is the beginning of decay." It is a great wonder to man why centrif uge bntter well made keeps so well, i don't know, but if anv one will examine the coating of a machine after it has "thrown out'' a few thousand pountis of milk and notice the offensive slime there deposited, the matter may un piirt be explained in theory. This "smeary substance" must remain in the cream in ordinary processes of making, and must lend its influence to the Water is a solvent of it, and washing butter helps remove it. I hazard a guess that "ropy milk may jwssibly be caused by a snpcnibundence of this-offensive substance. ''Tainted milk-is also in dispute ami the cause for it. It maybe defective food, foul water, a feverish or diseased condition of the cow, or.

a contamination of all these, and things not dreamed of as jet in our plulosopby. I notice some experiments made at the JSast about this avicosity, or Jstickinessvin milk. Cream that was hard to "come" when thlned witjr water, several times its bulk; and thoroughly mixed and allowed to rise again, when skimmed and churned, came readily.

The battle for supremacy between the stock raisers and beef combine has begun.

The contest promises to be a bitter one, but it can end only in oue way and that wiU be in the utter rout of the combine and all its auxil-aries. The fast shot was fired by the farmer legislature at Topeka when it passed the Roe bill. This shot was answered by the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange in expelling the American Live Stock commission from the Exchange. The American Live stock commission is composed of farmers and stock raisers. The Exchange charged the members of the commission with attempting to fix the prices at whicn their st ck should be sold.

And for this heinous offence the commission was expelled. The Exchange proposes now to fight the Roe law in the courts, and the probabilities are that the court will sustain the combine. But if such should be the cas, the courts will have to go. This is to be a fight to the death, not onlv with the L5ve Slock Exchange but it will include all the big trusts ami combinations of the -country before it is decided. Let it come.
