General Banks has accepted the Labor Re

General Banks has accepted the Labor Re
form nomination rendered him, and in his let
ter accepting the same gives his opinion upon
the subjects connected with it, the most i'm
portant of which is the following in relation
to the public lands. He says:
al believe that the public lands should be
held up by the Government for the benefit OF
actual settlers, and not given TO spectators
or railway monopolists. Heretofore L have
sustained the mechanics lien, the household
exemption, and the free homestead laws.
hope now to aid in securing to every enter
prising and honest settler a homestead. com
raratively without cost, on the line of the ma
tional railways, the grand avenues OF the com
merce of the world. But as the public lands
are utterly valueless to Government or settlers
without some means of bringing them into
communication with the markets OF the
world, l have been in favor Of extending
such aid of the Government as may be
absolutely necessary to secure the con-
struction of highways or railways wherever
they may be required to meet the exigencies
of the country. All the lands of railway cor
porations should, in my opinion, be open to
purchase by actual settlers, at a price not eX-
ceeding So. so an acre; and believe further
that the public interest imperatvely demands
that every appropriation OF lands for such pnr-
poses should be accompanied by such other
restrictions, limitations and conditions as Will
compel corporations or other grantees prompt
ly to construct the public works IN aid OF
which they are granted, under penalty OF for
FIXTURE; to seek their profit by promoting the
settlement of the country, instead OF specu-
lating in lands held in trust by them, and to
protect and promote to the fullest extent the
rights and interests of the Government and OF
actual settlers. I have uniformly sustained
the first of these propositions relating to the
price of lands to settlers. In the recent
Southern Commercial Convention, acting as
delegates from Massachusetts upon the COM
mittee appointed to consider what disposition
might be made of the public lands, present.
ed an amendment to the resolutions referred
to the committee by the Convention, embrace
ing all the above propositions nearly as they
stand, and it was unanimously approved 10y
the committee and the Convention. The
most earnest of the land reformers from the
Western States, where land grants have been
most aggressive to settlers, gave their united
and hearty support, and it was accepted with
favor by the railway men. 1t requires no ar
gument to satisfy intelligent workingmen that
a homestead on the line of national railway.
secured to them at So so an acre, is better
than land at any price elsewhere, which can
not in lifetime be brought into connection
with the markets of the world

The Bangor Whig says that Chief Engineer
Burpee has just been on tour of inspection
over the whole line of the European & Nortl
American Railway, and reported by letter to
the Company's office on Monday that every
thing was working tavorably. The line from
Mattawamkeag to 'Kingman's," distance OF
eight miles, will be ready for the rails by No
vember LIST, with the exception of two deep
and difficult cuts, which will be ready in April
next. Above Kingman's every cut has been
opened and the road bed will be ready for the
iron as fast as it can be furnished. On the
line from the Calais road to Mattawamkeag
men are on every mile, and the work of grad
ing is going on very rapidly. The same may
be said of the line between the Calais road
and St. Croix, which will be completely grad
ed by the first of December. Nearly eight
miles of this are already graded and ditched,
ready for the iron. Between 500 and GOO men
are constantly employed on the road, and the
work is being pushed as fast as possible.

The Portland & kennebec and Portland <

The Argus says it will be very convenient
and pretty structure, judging from look at
the plans therefor, prepared by Mr. Fassett
architect. The freight portion of the building
will be 1896 #. the passenger portion l9x43
#. The rapidly increasing business of the two
roads at this junction demands the enlarged
accommodations which are thus to be furnish
ed, while the completion of the P. & r. to
make it a through line to N. York and the
west will add very much to the Importance OF
this station.

Col. Marston always took special pains
to secure his straw in good condition. by
getting it in promptly and he never lost
any by housing il too damp.
Mr.. ID. h. Howard's choice would be to
apply manure in the first stages OF its fer
mentaiion, thinking it more valuable in
that way than in any other. For grain
would spread ii on and work II in not too
deep; anal the same with corn and pota-
toes works it in with n cultivator.

manure was fine could apply it in the
spring. lie has applied it in quite warm
weather, which is contrary TO the old the.
ory. and does not believe tina, the virtue
passed of TO any great extent.
Mr.. Stuart mixes his manure thorough
~ with the soil; but thinks that circum-
stances alter cases. Farmers want toralse
variety of crops. anil these need TO be
MANFRED in a variety of ways. Is OF the
opinion that manure ought To be applied
near the surface. and he does not bury
much IN the hill. He has plowed it under,
but unless il is plowcd shoal does not see
much benefit from it,
Mr.. VIM Dyer supposed a casc-lf a
man had clay loan, with \ sandy knoll

Mr.. Howard spoke of hauling gravel

SPOT ct land, which thereafter produced u
heavy crop Of clover and honeysuckle.
PreSidcn, Pcrcival related similar in

dead soil dug from - to IS feet below

The soil was red loan where it was

Mr. Archer had applied phosphate with
good results. Two spooniulS to a hill +
Goes added 80 bushels 10 the acre over
