The Republican Party.

The action Of the convention held
last week, gives evidence Of a gratify-
ing unanimity Of party feeling through
out the county, There is now no 9ucs-
ton before the people upon which Re.
publicans need to be divided. This
county is unit in support Of Gov.
Austin. There is no division of scnti
mcnt upon the question Of what shall
be done with the Internal Improve
mcnt Lands. They are not to be ab-
sorbcd by Rail Road Companies. The
old Bond Indebtedness is to be adjus.
ted upon an equitable basis.
The Charitable and Educational In
.,ttutions arc to be supported and en-.
couragcl. Economy is to characterize
every public transaction, and honesty
AMI capacity arc to be the only pass
ports to positions of trust or profit
either III the county or state govern

In selecting officers, it is a part o:

Mulching.

Last November we neglected to
mulch Eve trees in our garden. When
the Spring time came we found those
fine trees dcad-dicd because they were
not mulchcl. They were root killed.
We mulchcd over one hundred Of our
trees in the same grounds. They came
out lust as we'll as VIC could wish. The
names Of tho varieties Of trees killed
from want Of mulching are as follows:
One Montreal Beauty; one Transccn-
dent, one Lady Crab, one Standard
Duchess Of Oldcnburg, and one Dwarf
Duchess three scmi-crabs, and two
standard varieties of the standard apple.
The dead trees received the same cult.
walton, were planted out at the same
time and under the same circumstances
but in the hurry of the season VIC
neglected to mnlch them, and as con-
sequence they are dead. The proof is
positive, and we feel that VIC were prop
crly punished for ncylcctinS a few min
utcs work. This is the second time we
have lost trees under similar circum-
stances. This carclc*snc*s, or other
wise wilful neglect, shows the impor-
lance Of mulching in this climate. Nay,
more, mulching is just as necessary in
summer as it is in winter. 1t is equal
ly as necessary in the spring and fall as
it is at other seasons of the year.
By mulching in dry weather it keeps
the soil moist. The dryer the soil the
more beneficial the mulching. If this
rule is not observed, trees will not grow
half as much. There is no danger of
trees making too much wood in the
Northwest. The more wood the bette:
the trees will winter. Mulch properly
applied, kills all weeds and grasses. 1t
rots the sod around the trees.
Again, it makes the soil lively and
liz ht. 1t will introduce heat, air, dew
rain. 1t shades the ground, and hence
increases it's fertility. In winter il
prevents the ground from freezing and
thawiny. A steady temperature is con
stantly around the roots Of the trees
Apple trees, and many other fruit trees
arc strong feeders, and require a pretty
good soil By mulching, when the ma
tcrial rots. it becomes manure, and /
the mulcl.ing is composed Of leaves
nay, or straw, it makes vegetable Ter

Tho District JullgcshlD

The District Convention at Owatonn:
on Thursday and Friday Of last wccl
was composed of three distinctive ele
ments. The friends Of Hon. John II
Case would make no compromise whicl
would not secure the nomination o
their candidate, and the supporters o
Mr.. Lord we're equally tenacious
Judge Donaldson's friends kept his nam,
before the convention as long as h,
desired, and when he withdrew-whic}
he did upon the announcement of thu
two hundred and fourth tallot-tbe,
voted in body for Mr.. Lord. Two
things conspire3 to produce this result
The Rice county delegation were exceed
iDsly hostile to judge D. and large
party in that county has been so during
the past seven years, they were unwill.
ing under any circumstances to see him
re.nominatcd.
We are not aware that this influ.
enccd the Steele County delegation at
all in determining for whom to vote as
their second choice. 1t was most nat.
ural that all of the friends Of Judge
D. should unite upon an alternative.
Mower County was long united with
Dodge in forming Legislative Dis
trict, and during the past two years has
been represented in the State Senate
Ivy Mr.. Lord This gave him de-
cided advantage in the final vote, and
in fact would have given him tho NOM
ination without Steele County.
But since Mower and Steele were
united in support Of the present in
cumbept that they should both vote for
Mr.. Lord, as second choice was not
at all surprising. 1t is honor enough
for Jud~e Donaldson that he has held
his present position durin" fourteen
years. and r,tiIes with the rnHtidvnrr
Of all classes uf his constituents l,i5
successor will receive the judicial cr-
mine unsoiled.
After long residence in the Dis
trist and an extended acquaintance
with the people as their Representative
and Senator, that Mr.. Lord should be
nominated to so important an Office, is
is not only evidence Of his ability and
integrity, but that the people have dis
covered that he possesses these qualities.
Mr.. Case may congratulate himself
that he has the entire confidence Of all.
with whom he is acquainted His abil-
ity to fill the position crcditably has
never been questioned. His defeat was
an incident in the convention which
brought no sacrifice of honor or self
respect on his part, and by which Tho
people gained nothing beyond a mere
settlement of the Judicial Candidacy
1t is worth something to feel that from
struggle with giants, one escape
without any broken bones, and it j
gratifying that the contest in this case
was conducted in such manner as t
generate no i'll feeling between the riva
candidates.
Mr. Lord will be elected by tn
usu1l party majority.

Fall Flowing.

In this short summer climate, al
the blowing possible should be done ir
fall. just as soon as the grain can be
moved from the ground let the farmer
'speed the plow" The advantages BY
blowing in the fall are so numerous
that it is unnecessary for us to spread
them before the public, but we will
name one or two:
Land intended for wheat next spring,
should be plowcd this fall, because as
general rule, there won't be time to
pillow it then. Wheat, in most
all instances, is much better
crop when sowed early than when sowed
late. The best crop of wheat we ever
raised was put in the ground so early
in the spring that the harrow-teeth
came in contact with the frozen earth
in less than three inches from the sur
face Of the ground, but for all that we
managed to get the grain pretty we'll
covered up and the soil finely pulvc-
rived, which with the use Of good
roller few days subsequently, made
an even surface for the reaper. The
crop was abundant beyond our expec-
tations. Right alongside were a few
acres Of land which we had not time to
pillow the fall before, which we plowcd
in the spring and sowcd with the same
variety Of wheat. It received the same
cultivation in every particular, only it
was sowed weak or two later. The
result was a poor crop, hardly worth
harvesting. But still we have known
good crops of wheat sowcd on
spring plowcd land, yet there is some
risk to run in following up the enter
prise.
Aside from the probabilities Of a bet
ter crop when land is plowcd in the
fall for wheat it is gacat labor saving
operation for the farmer to pillow his
land in the fall. When spring.
time comes, he has nothing to do but
to seed it. The teams are in better
plight, and the land is liable to be bet
ter plowcd, because there is more time
to do it. Another advantage is, when
ground is plowcd carly in the fall, the
foul seed in the land will sprout and
the frosts Of winter will destroy the
weeds. This, in itself is an item Of
considerable Importance. We believe
thai all land intended for corn and po-
tatoes should be plowed in the spring;
but for that matter it would be all the
better if such land could be plowcd
both fall and spring.

Feeding Cattle.

The age at which a bullock may be
most pro6tably fattcncd is, with feeders,
still matter of difference. Many pre-
fer two year old, as the gain in
growth from two to three years is by
them considered greater than at any
other period, while the same amount
Of food will prepare them for the
butcher almost as soon as at more ma
ture age. Others maintain that growth
is at the expense of fat, and that the
same food cannot produce both growth
and fat in the same ratio as the one
condition of fat alone Therefore.
more maturity is desirable, as the
growth will then so proportlonatcly
diminish as not to be equivalent for
longer keeping, and the beef will be in
perfection as regards tenderness, juci-
ness and richhtss. We shall then, also,
have the advantage ofan carly market,
as the animal will put on fat more rap
idly, and the gain of a month, when the
prices are highest, is often equal to one
half the profit of feeding. Another
gain will be in the loAgcst rest Of pas
lures, as the interim will DC extended
between the sales and purchase Of new
stock.
I shall therefore adopt the age of
from three to four years as the most
profitable at which to begin tattcn
ing by grazing Most grazicrs pur-
chase their stock in autumn or carly
winter, in order to feed to them the
rough hay, straw and corn fodcr, ard
thus convert it into manure. Others
who lay in no supply Of winter proven

the young grass starts, and turn tho
cattle at once upon the pastures, where
they remain until finished for tn.
butcher, which requires period from
four to seven months. according to tho
season and aptitude Of the bnllock t
take on fat. The price Of stock cattl,
ranges about the same per pound il
