MACHINE FARMING We find in
an agricultural exchange, an admi-
rable illustration Of what may be ac-
complished by the use Of machines in
farming. Mr.. O. Dalrymple, of
Minnesota, raised, this year, a crop
of AZ, 500 bushels of wheat, on l7OO
acres of land. His land was divided
into three farms, on one of which is a
field of72O acres, enclosed by a sub
stantial board fence. During har-
vest, 73 men were hired on this farm,
at $3.50 per day and board, and Sc
ven Mccormick reapers, each drawn
by four horses, followed each other
in regular order, cutting an aggre-
gate swath of 49fcct. The machines
were set in motion on the 18th Of Au-
gust, and in twelve days the entire
crop of ITO acres were harvested
On the 22nd, five threshers and clean
ers commenced operations in the field,
the wheat being hauld in wagons to
the river, as fast as it was cleaned.
Within three weeks after the work of
harvesting commenced, this immense
crop was on the way to market.
The amount of the crop is estima-
ted by the journal from which we get
the facts; the estimate being founded
upon the lowest figures guessed at
by the ncighboring farmers, who
thought the yield would be from 25
to 80 bushels to the acre. This crop,
at s1.50 per bushel would be worth
$63,S50, and the profits of the owner,
above all expenses, are said to be
$4,000. The land upon which this
crop was made, is rolling prairie, bro
ken up last spring, and the seed was
put in By the machine known as the
"broadcast, seed-sower," several of
which are kept on each farm.
The above facts enable us to form
some idea of the way in which the i'm
mense grain crops of the Northwest
are made. The people of that Sec
ton have learned the superiority Of
machinery over manual labor. F..

PEpPER.-Pcpper is almost uni
versal condimcnt, Black pepper ir-
ritates and infames the coating of the
stomach. Red pepper does not; it
cxcites but does not irritate.. Conse-
quently itlshould be used instead of
black pepper. 1t was known to the
Romans, and has been used in the
East Indies for time immemorial. as it
corrects that fatulency which attends
the large use of vegetable food. But
to those weak, languid stomachs, it is
manifold more healthy to use cay
enne pepper at meals, than any form
of wine, brandy or beer, that can be
named, because it stimulates without
the reaction of sleeping or debility.

Our Defeats.

The elections in New York and New
Jersey last week, resulting in both cases
in Democratic triumphs, have made De-
mocracy the country over as jubilant as
children at Christmas carol. We look
at these defeats as temporary only, and
destined only to result in good to the Re
publican party. We are GLAD to see the
hopeful tone of Republicans everywhere
as to next years canvass. The exuberant
Democratic joy will tend to blind that
party to The real state of facts. A few of
| the more thoughtful of the party see that
another year may put different face on
matters. Among these is the New York
| World, which attributes the result in the
| Empire State to the indifference of Re-
publicaus and the temporary alienation of
some of its members. The Rorld says
''The fact is true whether we recognize it
| or not, that we are indebted for this magnif-
| icent and manifold triumph to citizens who
have not, for the last few years, acted with
| the Democratic party. In this city and the
! neighhoring towns of New Jersey, to our
knowledge, Republicans have voted the DEM
ocratic ticket; and we suppose we must have
had more or less assistance of this kind in
all parts of the country. But larger pro-
portion of Republicans have stayed away
from the polls and lent US indirect aid almost
| as valuable. Our success in the future will
depend upon the continuance of this coop
Grafton; we shall be fatally blind if we do
not cultivate and keep it. 1t is our true pol
icy to render it easy, at least not difficult,
for liberal Republicans to act the same part
in the Presidential election which they have
| acted in so many State elections this year q
result which an attempt to revive the iden-
tical politics of 1898, or 1882, or 1856, will
have no tendency TO accomplish"

A SINGULAR case Of accidental poison
ing occurred recently, in Marlborough
township, Montgomery county. A little
boy of eleven years, named Edward Hell
Ter, son of jesse Heller, noticed the birds
eating some berries which grew on the
bushes near the house, and it occurred to
him to kill the birds by putting poison on
the berries. Accordingly he procured
some arsenic which was kept in the house
of his guardian, with whom he lived, and
smeared lot of the berries with it as
they hung upon the bushes. On the
following day the boy passed along that
way and noticed some of the berries lying
on the ground, and ttoughtlessly picked
them up and ate them. He was taken
sick, and, Notwithstanding proper medical
attendance, died IN TWO days after eating
the berries.
In 1868, David Stoner left Hunting
don county, and settled in Stark county,
Ohio. Prior to his leaving this State, he
was drafted, but obtained release by proof
that he was over the age at which men
are exempted from military service. In
this he then supposed he was correct,
though, not having access to the family
records, he was unable to fix his age ac-
curately. Having recently come in pos
session Of the facts of his exact age, and
finding that he was under age at that time,
Mr.. Stoner has deposited three hundred
dollars in the Stark County Bank, to be
sent to the Treasury Department at Wash
| ingtoE, that being the sum required in
1868 to purchase exemption from the
draft.

THE Supreme Court last week decided
that the only way of proceeding against
the running of street cars on Sunday is
by indictment. The decision is regarded
as an end to the question. The vast ma
jority of the Philadelphia people are in
favor of running the cars. Indictments
for the act would therefore be most un-
popular and convictions scarcely be OBJ
tanned. Some of the lines began to run
their cars on Sunday.
