ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO EVENING TELEGR lPH.1
BALTIMORE, Oct. 2.-From the complexion of
the delegates elected yesterday there is no doubt
that John W. Davis, graduate of Fort Warren,
will be nominated for Sheriff of Baltimore city.
Leo Knott will be States Attorney. He is an
uncompromisIng Democrat. The old eonserva-
tives who left thelUnion party, and have been
swallowed by them and then vomited out by the
Democracy, are growing awfully and threaten
vengeance.
There is rapidly growing determination
among the Union men and Union soldiers who
belong to Governor Swann's militia to repudate
the whole thing, and, if necessary, revolt rather
than be led or driven to support the nefarious
schemes of politicians to elevate secessionists,
Democrats, and returned Rebels to Office over
loyal men.
In the United States District Court, this morn
ing. Judge Giles sentenced John P. Kendall, of
Kent county, Maryland, to one weeks impri-
sopment and four thousand and Ave dollars fine
for manufacturing whisky without license.
The Republicans hold ward meetings tonight
to choose delegates to the Judiciary Convention,
and make other nominations.
Al the Democratic delegate elections yester-
day men were drunk and fighting all over the
CITY. II was worse than in the days of Plugugly.

How LONG CAN THEY BE CROPPED WITHOUT
MANURIkG This is certainly an important
question with where so many fields are an
nualiy cropped of their burden of grass and
no return made to the soil, but the produce
carried from the farm a nd shipped to western
markets, after few years of such cropping
we find our fields g running OUT" as we term
it; and no wonder, for as the old sdage has
II, how can we expect to be continually
In at the bung| There is a great difference
out for grass Our rocky rough uplands
will maintain their fertility aud produce an
nually crops much longer than the lower,
sandy and moro friable soils, which if not
top-dressed or cultivated every two years or
so, will soon be nOn-prOducing. The fact as
regards the matter is, hay should never be
cold from the farm, not at least unless its
equivalent Is returned in some form of fertil-
izer. But it is annually done, go we are
brought to the consideration of the question
at the head of this article
We have Just been reading of farmer in
a western state who has cut and sold hay
from the same fields for fifteen years without
returning any manure to his acres. But, it
Is added, that farmer never fed his fields he
never allowed the aftermath or second corp
TO be cut or fed off. Therein was the produc-
tiveness of his field. By cutting the second
crop Obtained a good growth before winter.
and being allowed TO remain, acted as a
mulch and furtilizer to the roots during the
cold, and decaying the next year was a good
manure for plants Ii the second crop has
been cut or fed off we venture to cay his
fields would not have produced crops worth
harvesting for the half of fifteen years.

IRON IN PEACH AND PEAR CULTURAL
correspondent of the American Farmer SAYS
of the virtues of old iron as q tonic for the
vegetable system
Our first satisfactory experiments with iron,
agrIcuituraily,- were upon peach trees. We
had few favorite trees which took on early
consum ptive habits, blooming full and freshly
but casting their fruit at half growth and
their foliage at period four or five weeks too
early. The trees were uniou bsedy in de-
cline. Arguing 10 a common sense manner
We decided that our trees had exhausted some
element ESSENTIAL to their health and longevity
A chemical anal ysis of the soil discovered to
Us want OF iron, and knowing the peach
tree to be a great lover of, and rather greedy
feeder, upon that mineral, we supplied the
deficiency by digging in among the roots of
the aIling trees, all the old rusty nails, hoops
and every scrap of old iron we could lay
hands on. The iron dose applied in Octo-
Der, and che following season our consumptives
had recovered, and afforded US full crop of
better peaches than they bad ever borne be-
fore.
The editor of the Farmer adds:
gentleman near this city, who grows
several varieties of pear trees, some years
since got lot of horse shoe filings and placed
them around the roots of one of his dwarf
trees, and he states that it is the mos. thrifty
tree be has in his lot, and assigns the only
reason to the fact of placing this refuse iron
at the foot of the tree

ELECTRICITY AND SUGAR.-It is we'll known
thai the etfsc5 Of fermentation is to change
sugar into alchohol, these two substances be-
ing composed of The same elements, bue In
different proporsions-sugar consisting of
seyenty-two pounds of carbon to nine pounds
OF hydrogen and sevenytwo of oxygen while
alchohol is composed of twenty -four pounds of
carbon to six of hydrogen and sixteen Of oxygen.
At recent meeting OF the French Academy
OF Sciences, NJ Victor read paper giving an
account OF some experiments made by him,
which showed that, under certain circum-
stances. electricity produced the same effect
on sugar as fermentation does, transforming
II to alcohol. He found that By passing an
electric current through very sugary white
wine, the Wine loses all its sugar. and becomes
much more alcoholic. On the other hand, the
effect OF the action of light on absolute al
oohol, under certain conditions is to re- trans
form portion OF the alcohol back into sugar,
the alcohol becoming very sugary, and hav-
ing its strength reduced several degrees.

Docs AND SHEEP BELLs.-An experienc d

lie allows ten bell sheep to every hundred.
When sheep are alarmed they run toge. her in

bells frightens the dogs. In Great Britain and
Ireland bells are used by almost every owner
OF sheep. They useful for keeping off dogs
and foxes, the latter being very destructive to
