MINNESOTA REPUBLIcANs.-Th Republican
State Convention nominated 9. K. Davis for
governor on the fifth ballot by two majority
over W. D. Washburpe. The contest was
claimed as victory by the farmers. The
salary bill was denounced. Late dispatches
claim that it has been discovered that Wash
burne was really nominated on the third
ballot. and altogether the prospects for har-
mony are not equal to what has been predict
ed by those who are always happy. The
feated wing might as well submit for if the
Republican people cannot carry reforms
through the agency of the Republican party

now accused of having ring that casts in the
shade all the operations of the Ameses and
their companions. Whether the charges
made by the Sun will prove true remains to

one and two hundred millions of dollars from

DEFALCATIoN.- Tuesday morning of last
week Mr.. E. S. Mills, President OF the
Brooklyn Trust Company, was bathing ut
Coney Island where he was passing few
days and was drowned. He was man much
trusted, and great surprise was felt when it
was found that he had Incorporated funds
of the company. Various reports are cur
rent: one that the defalcation amounts to
100000, while the report of committee of
examination puts it at less than S150000.
Some think Mr.. Mills committed suicide,
but those who know him best scout the idea
and say that everything points to his evident
intention to continue on in business and to
straighten his involved affairs. The capital
of the company was half million and the
deposits over two millions of dollars. The
depositors will get their money, though with
some delay as the bank has been forced to
suspend.

Mr.. G. ). Foster of North Wilton. in an
essay lately delivered before their Far
mers' Club, said, I'VE must underdrain
and subsoil our land, If we would get rid
OF the trouble with wet or dry seasons by
the term subsoii do not wish to be under
stood as advocating the throwing up on
top of the land 4 portion OF the subsoil,
but simply stirring it up and leaving it
where it now is. The advantages OF un-
derdraining and subsoiling are that. if
thoroughly done, they will nearly free us
from any inconvenience from an unusually
wet season by absorbing and conveying
from the land all surplus water, while in
an unusually dry season the ground, being
porous to a greater depth than we usually
have it, will hold more moisture, and as
the top of the ground dries this moisture is
drawn upward and prevents the roots OF
crops from being dried up. A piece Of
ground trodden hard will not absorb water
to any amount. Ii we should keep the
dirt stirred often among crops in dry sea-
sons it would draw more moisture from
the air than if allowed to get dry and
hard. In fact. believe that we may. by
some study and experiment in draining
and subsoiling, connected with judicious
stirring Of the ground, around the growing
crops, become independent ;of any incon-
venience or injury resulting from wet or
dry season."

parment. fit to tempt the palates of lordly
men, thereby proving they are deserving
of becoming the worthy partners of the

then you don't get pay; or to go intending
TO take all the premiums and get none. and
then go home mad, feeling as though your

Canned Tomatoes.

spots, and slice thin. Put into large

able on account of the acid contained in
the tomato. Let them boil hard, and then
skim of The crust that rises. After boil
ing for half an hour or so, season slightly
with salt and pepper.
The glass cans should be placed upon
several thicknesses of cotton cloth, thor
oughly wet in cold water, and. for con:
venience, they can be placed in large tin
pan, and brought 10 the stove or range
and filled from the kettle while still boil
ing hard over the fire.
Place a silver teaspoon in each jar be-
fore filling it, and it will prevent the glass
, from cracking upon receiving the boiling
tomato.
1t requires two persons TO can tomatoes
or fruit, for success depends upon the ra-
pidity with which the operation is perform
ed. While one fills the jars, the other can
put on the covers instantly, and screw
them tightly In place. Now take thick
towel and stand each jar upon its head.
This operation will determine whether
they are air-tight. Let them stand until
entirely cool; then put in dark. dry
closet.

How to Treat Horses.

Not one of the domestic animals is so
ings and ambition as the horse, for when
he sweats with a heavy load, when he gets
into difficult places, and when he is hurt
by his harness or saddle, he shrinks almost
as a man does. His nerves seem 10 be
equally sensitive with ours, and especial
pains should be taken TO see that his har-
ness sits easily and does not gall him. and
during this weather the lightest rig posi-
bic should be used and every superfluous
strap removed.-The harness of the horse
drawing the street cars of New York is
without breeding, back or belly bands in
fact, there is nothing but bride, reins. col
lar and tugs. which is ample when horses
pillow. and also when put to the wagon,
provided the ground is level and there is
good break. Let the stable be airy and
clean, and when work is done for the day.
let the horse roll If he will. and then battle
bis limbs, back and tanks. If it is abso-
lutely necessary to use q back band, the
owner should be careful and see that it is
not too short, or buckled toe tight, and
that the pad is soft and kept in good or
der. 1t is absolutely disgraceful for a
farmers horse to have sore back, because
II signifies that his owner is both careless
and cruel. A sore back is serious anOy-
ance, and three or four weeks with the
best OF treatment are required for cure.
If, however, the cause remains wholly or
only in part removed and the healing scab
is broken and irritated, the sore NAV be-
come almost incurable and the animal he.
come of little value. 1t should be a good
cause for criminal prosecution if an owner
permits his horse toget into this condition.
The remedy for old sores is pulverixed
burnt alum to eat away the proud flesh.
and for fresh ones soap-suds, but probably
lukewarm water is better. Harsh irritat-
ting applications, whether for outward or
interior ills, should be avoided, for they
indicate profound ignorance in him wLo
prescribcs.-Auch good has been reported

Prof Loomis, in his able report to the

of this oil end certain watery fluids found

the principal part of butter is not exposed

cent of butter loosing its sweetness so

Milk itself is one of the most perishable

desirable to allow the milk to stand as
as long as possible. in order to secure all

of spelling the whole. The real decay OF
the milk is Indicated not by its thickening
as it sours, but the watery efrusion follow

To Boil NEW POTATOEs.-The sooner
new potatoes are cooked after being dug,
the more palatable they are. Clean off all
the loose skin with course towel and cold
water; when rubbed clean, put into scald-
ing water, and boil from twenty to thirty
minutes, according TO size; new potatoes
are usually cooked too long.-Turn off all
the water; sprinkle little salt on them,
and shake the kettle with both hands over
the handle. This makes them look very
foury. Serve with butter and salt.
