Compost.

A correspondent of the Germantown
telegraph gives the following sensible
advice "A majority of farmers do not
attach Importance enough to the sub
ject of saving and making manure and
compost. To thenf manure and labor
are what capital and credit are to the
merchant. They think they can afford
to pay five or six dollars per cord for
manure, and it does seem high price ;
but one thing they can do, they can
take better care of what they have, and
prevent the waste of what is the most
valuable part. Many hog pens are
built on sloping ground, the manure
sinking away to some drain and lost.
Now with proper care the manure OF
every hog raised and fattened is worth
twenty dollars to put in corn hill. 1t is
better not to let hogs wallow in the
manure as most of farmers do, with the
view that hogs will work fine the coarse
trash generally thrown in the pen.
Make tight board floor to the pen to
prevent the leakage of the urine and
manure, then throw in the absorbents,
such as weeds, straw, shavings, sawdust,
leaves, chip dirt, briers, and in fact al
most fine hickory brush, clean the sty
ont once a week, and throw the manure
into a square pile, exposed to all the
rain that falls, and in dry time keep
the manure moist by the addition of wa
ter, or cover with damp earth to pre-
vent the "blue blazes." By this ar
rangement with ten hogs and plenty of
material, farmer will make near two
hundred dollars worth of manure ready
for the land in good condition, and have
better hogs than if he allowed them to
wallow at pleasure in the mass.

How 10 Raise Glover,

A Michigan correspondent of the New
York Farmers Club furnishes the fol-
lowing items on clover.
al fear that your reply to Charles
Vinans about clover may mislead those
who have not been in the habit of using
plaster. You say six or eight bushels is
as good as one hundred. Now, / have
found that half bushel is sufficient, on
clover, if applied every Spring. Two
bushels of clover seed to fourteen acres
is not heavy seeding, but rather light.
Nv rule is two bushels to ten acres, but
many recommend peck to the acre.
Glover seed is raised extensively in this
fegion. The general practice is to cut
the first growth for hay about the lst OF
July, and let it grow again for seed. 1t
is then fit to cut the forepart of October.
We cut it with a reaper, leaving it in
large gavels. The yield is from one to
six bushels per acre. | would recon-
mend Mr.. Vinans to SOW on the six acres
which he proposes to manure highly
for clover next spring, either barley or
wheat; for think if he sows the clover
alone, the weeds will grow up and choke
as much'as crop of grain. l would
SOW the clover seed before the last
dragging, and then SOW one bushel of
plaster per acre about the time the
grain was coming up. Let him try
this plan, and if his land is sandy he
will be surprised at the result. The clo-
yer will grow up after the grain is cut,
and blossom, and if the season is moist,
it will fall down. The man who would
manure his land for clover in this State,
would be laughed at, we expect, unless
by clover itself. We don't think much
of barn-yard manure; clover and plaster
are our great fertilizers; if we use them
properly, our land grows better every
yaarO

Fan Pruning Of Grape Vines.


Now that the grape crop is off the
vines, is good time to 60 ameng them
with knife in hand to cut out the
superabundant runners. AS to what
should be cut away at this season, we
name two leading items: 1st. All the
green vines of this seasons growth
which have not hardened into ripe wood.
I'd. Old vines which have passed their
prime, and which can be replaced by
younger and more vigorous wood.
The fist description named for cutting
away, viz: the green vines, would not
stand the winter, and are easier cut out
now than they would be in the spring
after they were winter killed. The
second item, that of very old wood, can
be taken out to make room for better
vines for next years bearing.
Having disposed of these two kinds Of
vines, those which are to be left for fur
ther consideration may be shortened
somewhat and fastened to the stake or
trellis, so the winds will not whip them
to pieces during the winter, or if they
are to be laid down and covered, that
operation may be attended to at once.
1t will be found better on several ac-
counts, to do up considerable portion
of the pruning in the fall, rather to put
it off until in the winter or the early
part of spring.

From the Maryland Union.
Haprihte 0ufrare.

This community was thrown into an
intense state of excitement on last
Thursday evening, when it became
known that Miss Antoinette Cline, a
beautiful and highly respectable young
lady of sixteen, had been outraged by a
negro, not more than q quarter of 4
mile from this city, about sundown of
that day, as she was on her way home,
. short distance from this place. Miss
Cline observed the negro approaching
her, and becoming frightened ran, but
was soon overtaken by the scoundrel,
who threw her to the ground and ac-
complished his hellish purpose, after
which he quickly fed. The young
lady, when discovered, was taken to
the nearest house, and as soon as she
was able to state the facts parties start
ed in pursuit of the villain and succeed
ed in capturing him on Saturday last,
and was fully identified by Miss Cline.
The negro calls himself Ed. Jones, and
says he is from Georgia. He was COM
mitted to Jail for further examination,
which took place on Monday last before
Justice Simmons, who committed him
for the action of the Grand Jury.

Culture Of Peach Orchards.

The New York Tribune states that the
best peach orchards in New Jersey are
put in corn, till they begin to bear; af-
ter which they are plowed and harrow
ed without planting any crop. Bone
dust is applied at the rate of about four
hundred pounds to.the acre-which some
regard as the best manure, while Others
prefer manure from the yard. The samO
paper farther states that when cultiva-
tion is not attended to, the product is
poor, and the business Improbable.
This accords with our observations in all
places. No tree is more affected by cul-
tivation than the peach-when neglec-
ted and encumbered with grass its
growth is not one.tenth as great as when
standing in clean mellow soil. 1t is
much less labor to keep peach orchard
clean, when the trees stand fifteen feet
apart, than o corn-ield, where the hills
are three or foHr feet apart; yet no good
farmer thinks of allowing his corn to
grow up to grass. There is nothing to
which the old rule, that the best way is
the cheapest, applies more emphatically
than to peach-growing. We have mea-
sured one years shoots, on trees we'll
cultivated that were from three and a
half to four and half feet long; while
others, standing in grass adjacent. had
shoots from four to eight inches-and
there was nearly as much difference as
this in the quality of the fruit.

N nryIand.

The next Legislature of Maryland
will be unanimously Democratic, and
there will not be single radical hold
ing civil office anywhere in the State.
This condition of affairs is unprecedent-
sd in the history of the nation, and
shows how sweeping is the reaction
AGAINST radicalism wherever the popular
vote is uatrammeled. Maryland, like
West Virginia and Tennessee, has felt
the bitterness of radical despotism, and
has proaued under the tyranny of a
minority. Her citizens, like ours, have
been illegally driven from the polls and
have seen the iniquitous workings of a
partisan registration. Bat the people
now hold sway and the result is as
stated above. We have faith that the
citizens of West Virginia will yet assert
their rights and their power, and
although it might be too much to pre-
diet that the result will be precisely as
in Maryland, yet We knOr that when
that time comes, radical victories in
West Virginia will be far uore rare
than Democratic ones now are. God
speed the day.

Grapes on Eims.

At the winter meeting of the Illinois
State Horticultural Society, the Hon.
John B. Turner, successful grape grow
er, during q discussion on the grape, ad-
vocated the growing of grapes on elms.
He said:
When, years ago, l taught Latin to
boys, we used to read of the ancients
letting their grape vines Chamber on
elms, but l thought little of the state
ment, as a practicle suggestion. But l
find that cannot keep my vines out of
the elms. If fIplant near an elm the
vine goes up into it. / have one vine
that, despite my remonstrances, insists
on going into the top of one of my elms.
From it sold during the past year 500
worth Of grapes. am therefore tolera-
bly, well satisfied with its wilfulness /;
for these grapes did not cost me a cent
for culture or care. am now planting
live stakes in my orchard; and elm
stakes they are. Such stakes will save
the annual cost of training and prun-
ing, and judging from my experience,
they will insure fruitfulness.

Tic sea.on Of the Reaction.

The election returns from Massachu-
setts show that the reaction against the
Radical party, which manifested itseii
in Connecticut some months ago, Is
steadily progressing. There are various
causes which have combined to bring
about and accelerate this political rev.
olution, but there is one which is proba-
bly, more potent than all others, though
it has not been so much discussed
Among the latest items of news which
reach us are the statements that 1.-THE
wages of the operatives are to be re-
duced this week in several of the larg,
est cotton factories in Rhode Island
that "if the times do not improve an
entire or partial suspension OF work
must soon occur by the concentrated
action of manufacturers"-that 1.-THE
large woolen mill of Edward Harris,
known as the Harris Woolen Company,
Woonsocket, will commence to run on
three quarters time next Monday, ana
some portions of the machinery will be
entirely stopped until there is a more
encouraging prospect for its produc-
tions," and that "the Lippitt Wooden
Company have run but two-thirds OF
their looms for several months, but at
present are running fifteen of eighteen
sets of machinery"
As it is in Rhode Island so is it else
where. The South does not raise the
cotton and other crops which made her
once so prosperous, nor does she buy the
cotton and woolen goods and hardware
she was once accustomed to buy, to the
great enrichment of the North. Under
her present government revival of the
material prosperity in the South is im-
Lossible, and no one can tell how long
the present condition of things may not
last. With ruin to the South comes
inev table disaster to the North. The
people of the latter have q thousand in
terests that are inseparable from those
of the South. If, therefore, the "better
times" which the Providence Journal
family hopes for, do not speedily come,
there will be more closing Of factories,
more discharging of operatives, more
poverty and distress among the working
men, and stronger and tiercer reaction
against the revolutionists, who are so
blindly and desperately dragging the
country to ruin.

Preserving Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Scientific Amer.
iaan says he has tried the following
method of keeping potatoes for years
with complete success, though in some
instances the tubers were diseased when
taken out of the ground: dust over
the floor of bin with lime, and put in
about six or seven inches deep of pOta-
toes, and dust with lime as before. Put
in six or seven inches of potatoes,
and lime again; repeat the operation
until all are stored away. One bushel
of lime will do for forty bushels of po-
tatoes, though more will not hurt them,
the lime rather improving the flavor
than otherwise.

The Drought In she Northwest.

~ 1t is now many months since the
northwestern States were visited with
thorough and frequent rains, and Sc
nous drought ia prevailing in many
sections. In the central and southern
parts of Illinois the small streams are
exhausted, the grass Is dried up and
cattle have to be driven long distances
70 lind water and pasturage, and the
same is true of Iowa, Nebraska and
other State. If the winter sets in with
out heavy rains there viii be great diff
euIty In keeping stock alive, and the
prospects for spring crops will be much
.Jufed. Sill there is time enough for
nae rae iaii storms to supply the future
IIseds, but the corn and other crops that
lave proved almost o failure in some
p"ees cannot be made good. ft

Tn. sIee,iou. nnd she Presidency.

We invite the attention of our readers
to the article which we copy this morn
ing frem the Uorld, relating TO the
effect the recent elections will have
upon the Presidential contest next fall.
The argument is stated with the JyOrIGs
usual clearnssS and elegance of dictiOn,
and is as sound as it is clear and well
put
The sudden popularity of General
GRANT in radical quarters and the vari-
Gus movements for his nomination to
the Presidency that have taken shape
since the election, are very significant.
The radicals seem to think that the per-
sOnal prestige and popularity of the
General will blind the eyes of the peO-
pie to the principles involved in the
contest, and that, amid the hurrah and
excitement attending the candidacy Of
a military chieftain, they may induce
the people to ignorantly sanction the
policy of reconstruction which has been
so sternly rebuked this fall. 1t seems
to be well settled, however, that even if
General GRANT should be nominated by
that portion of the Radical party that
Is willing to hide the principles of the
party behind the availability of the
candidate, there is another and more
honest body of Radicals who will insist
upon the nomination of representa-
tive man and will refuse to support any
man who is not openly and cOnspicu
oOsly an advocate of the peculiar dog
mas they hold. To this class, GRANT
will be far from acceptable and, in the
event of his nomination by the political
schemers, it is reasonably certain that
second candidate to suit the views Of
the GREELEY and PHILLIPS school will
eput forth In the triangular contest
that would thus ensue, there can be
little doubt that the regular Democratic
candidate would receive q plurality of
The electoral votes.
The haste of the frightened radicals
to nominate GRANT is a very plain con-
fesSion of the fact that they acknowl-
edge the defeat of the political meas
ures for which they have been contend
Ing. The late elections have settled,
beyond the shadow of q doubt, that
negro suffrage, whether North OF South,
Is abhorrent to the wishes of the peo-
pie, while, at the same time, the radi-
cal party is so irrevocably committed
10 the doctrine that it cannot now re-
trace its steps. The only consistent
Platform that the radical convention in
1906 can adopt is thus repudiatsd in ad
vance. The verdict of the people has
already been rendered in opposition to
z the principles which the convention
Will be compelled to avow. 1t is there
lore justly questionable whether GRANT
will be willing to assume command Of
the already routed army, and it is still
more problematical whether, even IN
der GRANTS leadership, the people cln

GoRED BY GOWNS. Shilling,
wishing to 60 down town on last Thurs
day evening, was suddenly attacked by
q vicious cow and horned to the ground,
and as the cow was standing near her
shaking her horns and head menacingly
at the down-stricken lady, the best that
could be done was to lay still and wait
for any possible relief. At last the COW,
tired of waiting, left the unfortunate
lady, who availing herself instantly of
the disappearance of her mortal enemy,
got up and hurried into = neighbours
house, and from there home. DR.. Scott
having been instantly called upon has
done all to relieve Mrs. Shilling of her
fright and suffering, but entertained
fears Of her having received fatal inju-
ries. However, yesterday afternoon,
the lady felt comfortable, and it is
hoped that she will soon be restored to
her former health.
