WHAT ADVERTISERS SAY.
The firm, whose letter We print below, gave Us
IN 1867 what was then the largest contract we had
ever received fol our " Lists OF 100 Local News
papers. The fact that this year renew the order
and increase the amount, Is the best argument We
can give that these LISTS" are good advertising
mediums.

Time for Pruning Trees.

A. A. Hull, of Mechanicsbure, Ohio,
writes that fifteen years experience has
taught him that early in the spring is
the best time for putting the saw into
his orchard. If a limb is cut in the
fall there is no effort of the tree to cov>
or the wound, for growth is suspended
from October to April. No grating
wax will protect a cut perfectly from
all the freezing and storms of winter.
But if u wound is carefully nude in
March the first effort Of the tree, as
soon as the sap is active, will be TO
throw out rim of fresh bark and re-
pair the damage.

Wintering Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent IL Michigan des-
cribes to the Club his method of keep
ing sweet potatoes: When dug, piece
of euamelled cloth is put over the bar
rel in which they are stored. For two
or three weeks little moisture rises
from the tubers, which is represented
by dew on the enaRel When this
evaporation is ended, the barrels are
closed up and stored in loft over the
living room, warmed by air from ven.
tilatiug aue. In this way the potatoes,
in freezing weather, are kept in tem'
perature as high as 400 and often as
warm as SO. This heat is what the
sweet potatoe requires. Otherwise, il
allowed to chill through by air nearly
at feeling. point, the tubers become VA
terry and worthless for the table.

at last that Gen. Candy has taken
an important step in the Vir-

mined 10 throw the question of further
reconstruction of the State into the hands
Of Congress. The following is authentic,
and is contained in special dispatch from
Richmond:
"a gentleman belonging to one of
the two Walker State Committees has
had an interview with General Can.
by, in which that official declared
that the only terms be had to propose
were that all ineligible members of the
Legislature should resign, and that
he would Immediately order new
elections to fill the vacancies thus
created. II men were thereupon re>
turEei who could take the test oath, he
should further q speedy reconstruction
to the extent OF his ability and authori ty.
but if the present ineligible members
did not resign, or If other insligibles were
elected to succeed these, he should feel bound
TO refer the whole election of July, etc. to Con-
gress. postponing all action till that body re-
viewed the matter and gave final directions Be-
ing Questioned as TO why he had not installed,
Governor Walker. he replied that be would
hNp hn haf 8h ha
issued his circular 10 the members Of the Leg
islAture. iIquiTipE as to their ability to take
the test oath, the Conservative State Com nit
tee interfered TO prevent responses, and that
he considered the continued active existence of
that committee IS standing menace to him
and reconstruction. He would never, az long
as be could avoid il, surrender any department
of the State government TO the pracUcs control
of a clique composed OF men having such ante
cedents. and originally organized in open oppO-
sttiOn to every measure of reconstruction"
