Mulch as a Manure,

An experienced farmer has found, by
experiment, that where he mulched his
wheat land with vetch, he had an increase
of crop of twelve bushels per acre, and he
invariably found that land which had been
sheltered during the previous winter from
the action of the atmosphere, from cold,
ETC., was always more fertile than any por-
ton of his adjoining land, even under a
high state of cultivation. Our use of mulch
upon small fruits also confirms the above
theory, for a good mulch invariably in
creases the production from Is to % per
cent, as we'll as contributing very materi-
ally to the size, color and cleanliness of the
fruit. We believe that mulching will al
ways pay.

Salt and the Ague.

The following appears as a leading edi-
torial in the Cleveland Herald: "We
wish to give simple remedy for fever and
ague, and wish to emphasize it by saying
that it has, to our knowledge, proved very
efficacious. 1t is simply common salt. A
teaspoonful taken in water, and teaspoon
full deposited inside each stocking, next
the foot, just as the chill is coming on.
That's all there is of it but knowing that
it has been very efficacious in breaking a
chill and perfectinga cure, we put it in our
editorial columns, where no humbug rem

The Horse Disease.

CINCINNATI, Nov. ). r.
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette ::
Hearing the horse plague has reached
this city, feel anxious to transmit to you
a recipe for disinfectant, which, If used,
will prove of inestimable value 10 horse
owners: Take of sulphate of iron, or COM
200 lbs; of common salt, so lbs; salts OF
ammonia, 5 lbs; the whole to be boiled to
the consistency of whitewash, and applied
while hot, to all parts of the stable. II
would be well, also, to sprinkle the stable

of iron to 200 lbs. of newly dug earth.

Tho following, says the Reading Ed
gle, Is the substance of the terms of the
lease, which is for 900 years, of the road
and properties of the Catawissa TO the
Reading, namely:
The Catawissa railroad is to receive
each year 80 per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts, the Reading to guarantee the first
year the interest ON all loans and sl5l,-
600; the second year the interest and
S17S,0 900; the third year the interest and
1902, 600 ; the fourth year and ever after,
the interest and $226000. The Catawissa
Railroad is to issue 81 100000 new stock
to bear interest in 1874 of .! per cent. ;
in 1875 of 43 per cent, and in 1876 and
ever after, I per cent. The preferred
stockholders are to be authorized to sub.
scribe at the rate of forty-tive shares
and 10 pay for the same by relinquish-
ing all their claims for arrears of divi.
dends. In case the receipts for any one
year fall short of the amount nam ed
above for said year, tho Reading Rail
road Company to have no claim on the
receipts of any other year. From this
date the Reading Railroad will learn
the cause of the large advance in the

the assent ofthe stockholders on neither

A very pretty mantel ornament may
be obtained by suspending an acorn, by
q piece of thread tied around it, within
half an inch of the surface of some water
contained in vase, tumbler or saucer,
and allow it to remain undisturbed for
several weeks. 1t will soon burst open,
and small rootsseek the water; straight
and tapering stem, with beautiful glossy
green leaves, will shoot upward, and
present very pleasing appearance.
Chestnut trees may be rown in this
manner, but their leaves are not so
beautiful us those of the oak. The water
should be changed once moth, taking
care to supply it of the same warmth ;
bits of charcoal added to it will prevent
the water from souring. If the little
leaves turn yellow, add one drop of am
monia into the utensil which holds the
water, and it will renew their luxur-
lance.

Though Mr.. Buckalew has been count
ed out Of the Governorship of Pennsyl-
vania there is yet some prospect of his
great abilities being made Of service
to the people of that State in the forma-
! ton off new constitution. On the 10Th
of November next the delegates elected
on the Sth inst. are to assemble in con-
vention at Harrisburg to revise the
present fundamental law of Pennsylva.
MIA or frame a new one, and by pc
| culiarity of the law under which the
delegates were chosen it appears that
Mr.. Buckalew may yet take his seat AS
a member of the body. 1t seems that
when vacancy occurs in the member
| ship of the Convention the law allows
the delegates at large who were elected
| by the same party as elected the Geceas-
ed or resigned member to choose his
succt ssor. Thus ifa Democratic member
should die Or resign before the time of
meeting of the Convention, or at any
time during the session, the Democrat
ic delegates ut large can fill his place,
utli Z cDNtCFSD III CdSC VI a letDuDllcuu.
1t is intimated that some Democratic
district delegate will resign in Mr..
Buckalew's favor, and the programme
is for that gentleman to be forthwith in
stalled in the vacant seat as above de.
| scribed. During the gubernatorial cam
vasS Mr.. Buckalew moro than once ex-
pressed his own personal preference ofa
seat in the Convention to the Govern.
Orship, and would undoubtedly accept
the position Of delegate if the pro
gramme above mentioned be carried
out. For the sake of good government
in Pennsylvania it is to be hoped that
it may. Mr.. Buckalew is politician in
the best sense of that word-the sense
it had when importing one versed in
statecraft, and not only conversant with
but competent to the management of
public affairs. Should he enter the Con-
vention his impress will be benelicially
manifested in Pennsylvania new

of water occurred. The well at Ken
wood, just south of Chicago, ,2jj feet
deep and five and halfinches in diane

minute. 1t cost about $4,000. Another
well in the business centre of Chicago is

minute, and cost $1,000, The usual
depth Of the wells is from 200 to l. 800

THE following, taken from the Ha-
zleton Sentinel would seem to indicate
that the opinion expressed by the
COLUMBIAN as to the merits of our late
fair is shared by others. There Is GER
tainly need of change in many re-
spects:
There was large number of people
in attendance at tho Columbia County
Fair Jast week, but the display OF agri..
cultural productions and manufactured
articles on exhibition, was so mea'
gre as to elicit expressions ofgeneral dis.
appointment and regret. The ground
seemed to be devoted almost exclusively
to variety of humbug exhibitions, and
gambling booths Of every description,
from which the stranger Yves led to in.
fer that money was the main object of
the management in getting up the ex'
hibition this season. We believe they
have made sad mistake.
