Frequent HOeiDgs.

THE Mdine Farmer concludes an article
on hoeing with the following suggestive
paragraphs: Frequent hoeings, even
during the dryest seasons, contribute to
the benefit of the crop, BY the loosening
of the soil, the air and especially night air,
charged with moisture, even in times of
severe drouth, obtains ready access to the
roots of plants, and becomes condensed in
the soil. Very often during hard sum
mer drOuth, we have seen corn leaves and
other vegetation roll up during the day
time, but come out again at night in con-
sequence of the falling of the dew, or the
prevalence of moist air. Where the ground
is not stirred, it becomes crusted over, or
baked" as it is called, and hence the
moisture from below does not find its way
up to meet the condensed moist air. But
where the ground is frequently hoed, the
reverse is the case hence, the benefit of
repeated hoeing during the summer
months. Upon. this point, one of our late
English journals mentioned the fact that
during the extremely dry season Of 1926, a
gentleman was in the habit of hoeing, with
his own hand, three drills of turnips daily.
The result was that the three drills thus
hoed were good crop, while the yield
upon the remainder of the field, hoed less
frequently, came almost to nothing"

Republican Address.

THE Republican members of the New
York Legislature have issued an address
to the people of the State. The following
is synopsis of the document:
"They say that the election of Demo
cratic Speaker and the appointment of
partisan committees were accomplished by
counting out Twombly and counting in
Careyi that by this act the Democratic
managers seized the control of the law
making power of the State; that, against
Republican efforts and votes, they practi-
cally abolished the New York Registry
law, throwing the ballot-boxes open to
fraud that, fearing the restraint of officers
acting under the authority of the laws of
Congress, and the publicity afforded by
independent inspectors, they have pro-
vided for boxes for votes cast for members
of Congress and Presidential Electors
separate from these for State and local
officers; that they have, by amending the
charter for New York, taken the right of
election of School Commissioners away
from the people, and extended the terms
OF Office of other officials; that, by enact.
ing new tax law for that city, they die
tate to the Supervisors the amount of tax
they shall levy; that they have legislated
in behalf of officials in Buffalo at the ex.
pense Of the people; that, though their
supremacy was Temporarily suspended, by
the passion and violence of two of their
partisans, yet one who had been trusted by
Republican constituency suddenly de-
serted, became a traitor and a Democrat,
and continued them in power; that
though they passed a law to fill the va,
otncy caused by lrving's resignation, they
refused to make it general The
address then discusses the financial
condition Of the State, and claims that
the Comptroller's estimates call for Slg.

canal deficiencies, and which swells the
liabilities to $2t, 100000, in the face of
which the tax levied will net only 8t2,-
100000, which, added TO $650,000, from
other sources, will leave deficiency of
90, 250, 900, which the Democrats have not
the honesty or manliness TO provide for by
taxation. To this is added the appropria-
tons in the supply and charity bills, which,
they say, will swell the deficiency to &c.,
100000. They say the net receipts from
the canals for ten years ending in 1869
averaged $3,000,000 per year, while in
1870 they were below 1914 1000, which did
not pay expenses. The address concludes
by charging the Democracy with un-
willingness TO trust the people, refusing
New York city voice in raising and dis
bursting moneys, denying the localities
the right to decide upon the local prohi-
ton of the sale of liquor; refusing the
privilege to the people to decide upon the
constitutional amendment to prohibit sec
tartan appropriations; centralizing in the
hands of their party managers immense
political powers-authorizing them to
raise unlimited amounts of money TO be
used, possibly, for personal or political
purposes. They have shown themselves
| friends of monopolies, created boards and
bureaus, multiplied officials, increased sal
aries, and extended the tenure of office,
without the consent of the people. They
have increased the public expenditures in
all directions, and have been lavish of
money to be expended by party favorites,
while great public enterprises are allowed
to languish for lack of needed aid They
have passed by measures proposed to- ad
just and tighten burdens of taxation, and
they have proved recreant to their duties,
and are unworthy of further continuance

Keeping Hams.

WE have mode of keeping hams
through summer, which works so well
that TO withhold it longer from the public
would hardly be acting patriotic part
Here it is
Have a sack made of cheap muslin or do
mestic, somewhat longer than is required
to merely hold the ham. Then gather
some dry broom sedge and chop it finely
in your cutting box; or, if you happen to
be minus such contrivance, chop it with
the hatchet or ak. Place a few handfuls
of this in the bottom of your sack, and
then, having wrapped newspaper nice
around your ham, slip it in upon the
chopped sedge. Proceed next to fill up
the sack by ramming your chopped sedge
tightly around the ham on all sides; the
size of the sack should allow of its being
an inch thick. Sew or tic it up, and the
work is done.
Hams put up this way will keep for
years through all kinds of weather, for
while the sedge is cooling in its effect, it
absorbs the moisture attracted by the salt,
and bars Off the fly. We take it that
straw or thoroughly dried grass of almost
any kind would act, though we have no
experience with anything save broom
sedge.--InduStridI and Commercial Ga.

KalsOmIning ParlOr Walls.

IT is popular error to believe that the
materials for kalsomining are very expen-
sive, and also that few men have sufficient
skill to apply the liquid even after it has
been properly prepared. For this reason,
people are frequently deceived into paving
exorbitant prices for this kind of work.
The materials employed are good clear
glue, Paris white, and water. Paris white
Is sold in New York city and BROOKLYN
for two or three cents per pound. timer
ant kalsominers frequent charge twenty
five cents per pound they "use nothing
but the genuine silver polish, which is
scarce, and very expensive"
In case the wall of a large room, say
sixteen by twenty feet square, is to be kali
somined with two coats, it will require
about one-fourth Of a pound of light
colored glue and five or six pounds of
Paris white. Soak the glue over night in
a tin vessel containing about a quart of
warm water. If the kalsomine is to be
applied the next day, add a pint more of
clear water to the glue, and set the tin
vessel containing the glue into kettle of
boiling water over the fire, and continue
TO stir the glue until it is we'll dissolved
and quite thin.
If the glue-pail be placed in kettle of
boiling water, the glue will not be scorch.
ed. Then, after putting the Paris white
into large water.pail, pour on hot water,
and stir until the liquid appears like thick
milk. Now mingle the glue liquid with
the whiting, stir it thoroughly, and apply
it to the wall with whitewash brush, or
with paint brush. 1t is of little conse.
quence what kind of an instrument is EN-.
ployed in laying on the kalsomine, provid-
ed the liquor is spread smoothly. Expen-
siVe brushes, made expressly for kalsomin-
ing, may be obtained at brush factories,
and at some drug and hardware stores
But a good whitewash brush, having long
and thick hair, will do very well. In case

The Suns Blessing.

SLEEPLEss people-and they are many
in America-should court the sun. The
very worst soporific is laudanum, and the
very best sunshine. Therefore it is very
plain that poor sleepers should pass as
many hours in the day in sunshine, and as
few as possible in the shade.
Many women are martyrs, and yet do
not know it. They shut the sunshine out
Of their houses and their hearts, they
wear wells, they carry parasols, they do all
possible TO keep off the subtlest, and yet
most potent, influence which is intended
to give them strength and beauty and
cheerfulness. Is it not time to change all
this, and so get color and roses in our
pale cheeks, strength in our weak backs,
and courage in our timid soulsY The

How to Handle Guns.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural Neao
Yorker furnishes the following rules for
the handling of fire arms:
Whenever you take gun into your
hand, inquire if it is loaded. Should there
be no person to answer you, if the gun is
a muzzle loader, place the butt on the
ground outside the left foot, having pre-
viously fixed the hammer at half cock,
and, holding the muzzle in a forward di-
rection, clear of your person, draw the
ramrod and insert it gently in the barrel.
If there is charge in it, you will feel the
thud of the ramrod upon it, while the rods
upper end will project about three fingers
breadth above the muzzle. Should the
piece not be loaded, the ramrod will sink
right down and the broad metal end will
soon announce the empty barrel by the
tap against the breach plug. Never
handle a loaded gun except for the pur-
pose of discharging it; and never at any
time, either in jest or earnest, point gun
loaded or unloaded, at any living thing
you don't deliberately intend to kill.

The Chrrant Worm.

THE Boston Journal Of Chemistry give
the following;
We are informed by DR.. L. Worcester
of Waltham, that the currant worm, so
destructive to favorite fruit may be fully
and almost Immediately destroyed by the
use of carbolate of lime. The doctor tried
the powder in many instances during the
past summer, and found that while it was
fully as effective as hellebore, it was less
dlsagreeable, less costly and perfectly safe.
The method of using it is to sprinkle it
over the vines as soon as the worm makes
his appearance, bringing it well in contact
with the leaves, and soon the insect is de-
stroyed. 1t will need but two or three ap-
plications, and the work is done. In this
way, for a few cents, large quantities of
currant bushes may be saved and the fruit
allowed to mature, and no danger what
ever incurred. Neither the foliage nor the
fruit Is in any way injured by the carbo-
late of lime. 1t will be we'll for our read
ers to remember this when the fruit sea-
son returns.

1t is amusing that the feeble should totter, with

danger every day of falling victims to the morbid
influences by which we are all surrounded. when
tested and proven vegetable tonic, capable of en-
