nominated John Strachan as their
candidate for Member Of Assembly.
More forcibly than the renolrdna-

of Strachan demonstrates that the
Democrats have not reformed; AMI
that their sympathy with the farm

catch votes, and foist into place and

Management of Hens.

THE Prairie Farmer is responsible for
the following principles of chickenry
l. Never set a hen in box above the
ground or floor of the chicken-house, if
possible, as the eggs dry too fast and lose
their vitality. If possible to set hens on
the ground you will have much better
success.
2. Never set more than fifteen eggs, no
matter how large the hen. Some set only
ten or twelve, but under ordinary fowls
thirteen or fourteen will hatch as readily
as less number, though more are a
waste.
3. Always be careful to mark the eggs
set with the date of setting, as other hens
often lay on the same nest with setting
hen, and when the brood is ready to come
off, extra unmatched eggs are left in the
nest which you cannot account for, and
do not know how to dispose of except by
waste, not knowing when they were laid.
4. Keep a memoranda of all hens set,
with dates when they should come off,
that you may have coOps and proper food
prepared for them. Also take the young
chicks from the hen as they dry, because
sometimes they may run over their time
a little, or hatch earlier.
8. Better let hens come off their nests
for a short time for food and water than
to confine them to feed on the nest.
Two boards nailed together at one end,
with Stats of lath across in the form of an
A, make an excellent coop.

An Intelligent Tourist.

In 1869, French pianist, proprietor of
the Polish name Kowalski, made a concert
tour through the United States. We have
his word for it. Personal knowledge of
the fact, even from hearsay, have we none.
Returned home, he experiences the ne
cessity of writing out and publishing his
impressions of travel. Many of the i'm
pressions are amusing, and much of the
information he imparts to his countrymen
is startling. Thus:
In every other country men make love
to young women, but in presence of the
parents, who closely watch their inter-
views. In America there is no surVeil-
lance, the young girl makes free use of her
young man, who from this moment is
her Lotcer. This is called .firte7, from
,f,trty, an English word signifying to make
love-" etc. Then his readers are enlight-
ened as to the Richardson-McFa Farland
affair. ''The trial opened, and Mr.. Horace
Greeley, a distinguished lawyer and the
editor of the Tribune, appeared as counsel
for Mrs. Richardson" We will not shock
our readers bya reproduction of the sur
prising psychological argument of the
lawyer in question. One "Tweed," we
learn, "was comptroller of the finances
ofthe State of New York, and for many
years COlCCdlCu DOOho vi a
hundred millions of dollars" At Albany
our author falls victim to an unlettered
hotel-keeper, who persuades him that it is
the oldest city in the United States. This,
however, is not difficult to believe af-
ter the statement that vessels of fif-
teen hundred tons burden ascend the
Hudson river distance of one hundred
and fifty leagues. Forewarned, fore
armed so that if we wake up some fine
morning and find ourselves bound hand
and foot by our German fellow-citizens,
Mr.. Kowalsh will be justified in saying,
- told you So" He warns us that in
America "the naturalized German in no
way accepts the usages of his new coun-
try. He remains what he is. They have

OF all, the breweries, where TRANQUILITY

Flowing.

l. FLOWING must be done seasonably
Some varieties of land need to be broken
up at just the right time, or they are in
jured and rendered unfit for culture.
Such are all clay or adhesive soils. If
plowed when too wet they cake and hard
en- into a state very like that of sunburnt
brick. The best time to plow such lands
is in the fall. Nothing pulverizes a stiff
soil so effectually as exposure to alternate
freezing and thawing. Such lands may
also be plowed to advantage when spring
is so far advanced that they have become
dry and somewhat warm, for though
clay soil is often spoken of as cold soil,
it is not wholly insensible to the warmth
of the earth.
2. Flowing must be done ,judiciouSIy.
A great painter was once asked by tyro
how he mixed his colors. The artist re.
piled, "with brains, sir" Brains are
needed on the farm as well as in the
studio. They are needed in this matter
of plowing. Not only is it important to
know when to do it, but how to do it.
One unvarying rule will not apply to all
soils. A rich subsoil must be brought up
little by little only as fast as it can be fer
tilted and improved, or it will injure in.
stead of helping the crops. In discus
sioHs about deep plowing these discrimin-
ations are often forgotten. No doubt,
other things being equal, deep plowing is
preferable to shallow. But often other
things are not equal, and the exercise of
judgment is needed instead of blind re-
gard to inflexible rules.
8. Flowing should be deep, 1. e., as deep
as circumstances will admit. AS already
observed, hungry, lean subsoil must not
be turned at wholesale rate, unless, in
deed there be wholesale supply of ma
nure to incorporate with it, which is not
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1873-05-01

a very probable supposition. Besides the
plan of gradually raising it by driving the
ordinary plow a little deeper down every
time, il NAV be loosened and deepened by
the use of the subsoil plow, already de-
scribed. In whatever method 1t Is found
practicable. deep soil should be the far
mer's aim. Such soil is less easily ex-
hausted. furnishes richer and more ca
pacious seed bed, and a larger supply of
nutriment for the crops, and, in fact,
gives the owner more land to the acre.
4. Flowing should be thorough. What
ever depth Il is deemed wisest to go to
should be carefully and steadily attained.
Mere surface skimming is to be avoided.
Misses and leayings are to be guarded
against, especially in green sward. What
a rough, broken, woe-begone appearance
some newly-plowed meadows and pas
lures present, in consequence of careless
blowing. They look as If a herd of wild
bulls had been throwing up the land with
their horns, or drove of huge hogs had
been tearing it up with tusk and snout.
Such blowing is disgrace to civiliza.
ton.
5. Flowing should be done straight.
This is only a question of practice and
habit. Old country plowmen who are
schooled into it will plow so straight that
it looks as if the surface of the ground
had been marked into lines by mammoth
rulers. Such plowmen regard with con
tempt the crooked ways of the plow in
this Western world, and well they may
We advocate straight plowing, however
not merely because of IFS appearance
which is vastly superior to the crooked
work unfortunately so common, but be
cause it is as much better as it looks

The Rise of the Sap i'm Plants.

IT is unfortunate that much of the
science of plant life is derived from Eng
lish works: and instead of being science
that is, well ascertained facts, it is but
mere guess-work. The following, which
We find in contemporary, illustrates what
we mean:
The rise of sap has been supposed to be the
cause of the expansion of leaves and branches /;
whereas, according to the most esteemed veg
etable psychologists, the moment the buds are
excited by the warmth of spring, ''they begin to
suck sap from the parts with which they are in
adjacent sap pushes upward; as the expansion of
the leaves proceeds, the demand upon the sap
nearer them becomes greater; quicker motion
still is necessary on the part of the sap to make
good the loss and thus from above downward, is
that perceptible flow of the fluids of trees, which
we call bleeding, effected -
In proof of this it has been stated that tree
cut at the ground line when the buds are just
swelling, no bleeding will occur from stump
branches the bleeding will be found to have
commenced.
The fact does not seem to be known to
English writers that the roots of trees are
growing and working all winter, even
when the earth is frozen about them
gradually storing up sap in the cells-and
that the swelling of the buds in spring
has nothing to do with it. 1t is clear that
those who got up this so-called science
nave never llNcu III llle SupdI-lldhlllS ulS-
tricts of Maine and other places where the
sugar maple trees abound. They would
then know that the trunks are filled with
sap weeks before there is any sign of the
unfolding of the leaf. These English
scientists are perhaps excusable, as they
are far away from facts like these; the
remarkable thing is that intelligent Amer.
lean newspapers should give currency to
statements such as those in the extract.
Any sharp American boy would know
that this is no science

II is great blessing to have by nature strong
constitution but not more than one-half of the in-
babitants of the civilized world thus provided
MANY constitutions are feeble to begin with, many
Others originally vigorous, are crippled by over
exertion, dissipation, unhealthy surroundings,
grief, privation, or some other portentous cause
before the prime of life is attained. But is this an
evil without remedy or palliativep No Con-
stitutions can be replaced. Hundreds OF thousands
of instances might be adduced in which constitu-
tiopal decay has been arrested by the continuous
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as an invigo-
rant. 1t is constitutional strength that enables
one man to recover from disease which would be
mortal to another destitute OF this element of re-
sistance. Whenever malady of any kind obtains
a foothold in any part of the human body, and be-
comes chronic fixture there, 1t is proof positive
that the constitution has been mastered by the dis
ease and urgently requires help In such case
Hostetter's Btters should be taken at least three
times day. until the natural powers Of the system
are recruited. Then the morbid principle which
generated and feeds the complaint will have to
succumb to the influence Of animal vigor, aided by
the toning regulating, purify ing operation of the
Btters upon the organ organs in which the all
ment is located. There is nothing like this mighty
tonic to 'prop the fallng.'
