UNSAFE SHEEP PASTURES. the
head of Unsafe Pastures the New
York Tribune says, in reply to an inquiry
1t is known that a pasture infested with
scab will. not be perfectly safe for at least
two or three years. The scab insect will
retain its vitality in the places where
sheep have rubbed themselves, and so dis
engaged the insect, for that length of time
1t is not probable that the foot rot engen-
ders any virus which would infest pasture;
it is much more likely that the condition
of the pasture which at first caused the
disease, being still present, still produces
it, and always will. The only safe way is
to drain the pasture, when foot rot will
disappear. 1t is caused solely by wet,
muddy pastures and filthy yards, and the
consequent mechanical effect upon the feet
and constitutional effect upon the health of
the animal.

VALUE OF MANURE-An authority on
agriculture says that if the manure from
ton of wheat straw is worth 50 6S, then
the manure from a ton of meadow hay
is worth Sc AZ, from ton of clover hay
50 GA, from a ton of corn Sc is, and from
!, ton of peas S13 SO. This estimate of the
comparative value of these different kinds
of manure is doubtless made from the
analysis Of those substances, and Of course
is liable to some variation, but fair aver
age is taken. The figures show only the
comparative value; the real valne will de-
pend on the price of the crops raised by
the use of the manure, which would be
rated higher in a season of high prices and
lower where prices are low, us at the
West. The value would also depend much
on the mode of appication-if thoroughly
intermixed or diffused through the soil, it
would be more than double in its effects,
compared with manure half ploughed in
while in large Jumps.

WET BoOTs.-A friend writes from
Europe: What an amount of discomfort
wet boots entail, to be sure; and how well
we all recall the fretful efforts we have
now and then made to draw on pair of
hard-baked ones which were put by the
fire overnight to dry. Damp and adhe-
sive within, they are without stiff and
unyielding as horn. Once on they are a
sort of modern stocks, destructive of all
comfort, and entirely demoralizing to the
temper The following simple device will
rob the cold wet barn-yard of a slushy
winter or spring evening of half its prom
Use of discomfort for the next morning
When the boots are taken off, fill them
quite full with dry oats. This grain has
IL great fondness for damp, and will rap
idly absorb the last vestige of it from the
wet leather. As it takes upthe moisture 1t
swells and fills the boot with a tightly fit
ting last, keeping its form good, and dry
ing the leather without hardening it. In
the morning shake out the oats and hang
them up in bag to dry, ready for the
next wet night, draw on the boots, and 90
happily about the days work. This SIM
pie recipe, tender-footed reader, will save
YOU much discomfort, and will make you
a tender-hearted reader as you sit in your
soft foot gear looking over your paper as
YOU wait for breakfast to be made ready.

PAINTING FLOORs.-Having had some
experience with both oiled and painted
floors, l unhesitatingly recommend the
former. If some uniform dark tint is
wanted like black walnut, mix burnt UNI
Der with boiled linseed oil, and rub it in
thoroughly with a wooden cloth. The
lumber can be bought in boxes containing
pound and upward, already ground in
oil, which is most convenient, as that
sold in a dry state is apt to be coarse and
rough. The depth of tint is varied by
using more or less of the color, while the
tone may be warmed if desired by adding
burnt sienna. If an imitation of the hand
some ash and walnut floors is preferred,
rub every alternate board with pure boiled
oil, and use paint brush to apply the dark
staining, taking care not to have enough
in the brush to spread on the part intended
to be light. Leave the floor day or two
to dry, though the only harm done by
using it Immediately is that the oil is liza
BILE to be tracked over other parts of the
house. The great advantage an oiled pos
sesses over "a painted floor, is that when
marked or scratched, some oil rubbed over
the spots removes them, and it is never
necessary to repeat the whole process
again. All that is needed to keep the
floor bright and fresh, is to occasionally
rub it over with Il cloth wet with Il little
oil or kerosene, as you would treat oiled
furniture, A piece of old carpet or a
newspaper may be spread before entran-
ces to other rooms for few hours, to pre-
vent the possibility of carrying footprints,
or the extra oil may be rubbed of with
dry wooden cloth. No doubt after a time
our sensible American housewives will,
like their transatlantic isters, discard
the dusty carpet from all but a few rooms
and fashion will replace the extravagant
Administer by the no less expensive inlaid
floors of various woods and patterns now
winning their way into popular favor.

The republicans of Sedgwick coun-

nomination Of Lieut.. Governor Oh the

" un.niniiv with which the resolu-
tion> were passed, we are happy for
The privilege Of publicly returning TO
the honorable gentlemen composing
that convention our heartiest thanks f:
and we Will make this article n vehicle
Of an explanation due ourselves and
friends and 10 the end that no undue
Growing may be INDUCED in by enc
mics hereafter.
Early last spring several prominent
name %: the subject Of this article in
complimentary way, suggesting that
we be made Il candidate for Lieut.
Governor. We would have immcdi-
ately publicly denied any ambition in
that direction but for the fact that il
appeared to worry cel tain gentlemen
who have, during the summer, said
many uncaled for and unkind things.
To such gentlemen as addressed us
upon the subject during the summer
and 10 friends writing Us and offering
their good will and assistance, we
have made The one uniform answer,
that we were not Il candidate, as we
can verify in an hundred instances.
This morning when approached by
gentlemen composing the convention,
with reference to the matter. we said
If in making up the stale ticket that
office should be conceded to the South
west and we were named as the man
we should try and fill the position in
such a manner as to meet the appro-
baton of our friends.
That is all there is of the Lieutenant
That the position
might be conceded to Wichita we adj
nit, but that il viii is hardly likely.
We have made no fight for-net even
asked a position which outside of the
honor connected Herewith, there is
little responsibility and less emolu
ments
We expect to vote and work for
some other man for that position, but
we are just as thankful to the gentle
men who composed to-day'S conven-
ton as though we had been nominated
q dozen times. After having contimu-
Ously been in office nearly ten years
we are satisfied to let our political life
stand or fall by the record, while in
the future we shall devote our time
and what talents we may have TO
building up a good, permanent paper
and making for ourselves, wife and
little ones comfortable home.
