for the borough Of Newark, where nv

anxious for the success of the ministerial
candidate. The election was strongly
contested, and the friends of the gov

IN this newly.found delight. Rushing
wildly from the house, they plunged
boldly through drifts, over bitches, into
slush and mad, until with true scent, they
came upon this expanse of water, PERHAPS

two tiny sailing crafts, improvised for the
occasion. They are happy. Lot them

But how unlike girls! Occasionally

she is considered an oddity; and truly
she is rare. We wish there were more

she had spent her childhood in sewing

acquiring other feminine accomplish

tremely lady-like, dignifed woman; has
not the faintest show of masculinity in
her department left. Besides. she is the
mother of fine family of children, who
have some reason to be grateful that she
spent her childhood as she did. Indeed,
we should be glad to see the daughter
more of romp; it will in no wise de-
tract from other graces, and in after
years will bring her a recompense for
which she will be thankful.
The writer has in mind two of her
earlp companions, both of whom were
the romps-yes, the
''tom-boys'' of our set. Indeed, they
were far oftener seen engaged in game
of ''mumble-peg' with the boys, or
over the wood-sheds, or
making dams in the brooks, than they
were in the society of girls. Did the y
grow up coarse, awkward women? Far
from it. AS they matured, the womanly
instincts developed, and their tastes
changed. One became an accomplished
pianist,a ready writer, an ornament to so
ciety; the other fine vocalist, and hand
some, graceful woman--and both are the
healthy mothers Of robust, happy child

Therefore, we feel warranted in advo--

A correspondent of the Neo ENGLAND
Farmer says he grows turnips in this
way: When load of manure was ready
for the field, we would scatter it over with

then drop the corn, until we had planted
three acres in this way. When we hoed

one to each hill, and those left grew fine.
ly. The manure used was taken from
the hog pen, composed largely of swamp
muck, which had been worked over, and
had been the receptacle of all the slops
and suds from the house for nearly 3
year. We had also another patch which
was devoted exclusively to turnips, and
in the fall we harvested as fine : lot of
rutabagas and white Swedes as one could
wish to see, and now we are feeding them
to our cattle. I do not know as thew
contain much nutriment, but do know
that they like them. and we think that
they are good for them. l do not claim
that we can get better crop of corr by
raising turnips with it, but think We can
get more value from an acre.

Soil for Hot Beds.

| In starting hot bed the compost used
at first should be composed largely OF
leaf mold from the forest. mixed with
composted manure or the scrapings of the
barnyard, for the reason that at short
notice this is usually the most available.
The preparation of two parts good loan,
two parts leaf mold and one part of com.
post will give light friable material. This
makes good soil for the principal plants
cultivated in hot beds. For sweet pota.
| toes, however, the covering should be
much lighter than this, say three parts
OF leaf mold, one of sharp sand and one
of friablc mold, thoroughly mixed TO-
gether.
The soil, whatever it be, should be
passed through quarter.inch mesh sieve.
to remove sticks and other trash; and.
once prepared, it should be carefully
saved from year to year, adding to it as
necessity requires.
This is readily done by placing it, when
10 longer wanted for the seasons work.
in compact conical mound, covering it
before cold weather with slough hay, and
over this sufficient fresh manure to keep
it from freezing deeply. When wanted,
the hay and manure may be taken off
from one side, and the heap cut down as
wanted with shovel.
The initial soil having been procured at
whatever cost of time and labor NAV be
necessary, pains should be taken to pre.
pare for its renewal, so that thereafter
there shall be no lack Of soil for all hot
beds or other propagating purposes.
Sod or turf. from some loamv pasture
or fence row, is the easiest and most
available basis for compost. Gather as
much as possible, and lay up regularly.
mixing with it, ifprocurable, leaf mould,
layer for layer. Add barn.yard scrap
ings, keeping the whole moist, not wet.
turning from time to time until all is
thoroughly mixed, completely decayed
and homogeneous. Sift as before direct
ed, and add the siftings to another pile;
and thus you may always have compost
that will be available, not only for hot
beds, but also as the basis for any md all
hot plants. If to the heap, while decom-
posing, is added the wash of the kitchen,

and add to the organic value of tho COM

Those of our Democratic friends who

Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that so fearlessly
and learly advocates Democratic

Of the world, it is complete, and its
editorials on all subjects are vigorous
and logical. TO the farmer it is un-
valuable: teaches him many things
that tend to promote his best interests
which he sorely needs his eyes opened

any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout tho
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their Just and
legal rights.
It advocats confidence and good feel

labors for an honest and abiding re.

1t maintains fairness and candor to.
ward al! public men and questions, and
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals: ,g:a.
1t publishes scientific news, reports;
discussions and discoveries to a degree
of fullness and accuracy never before
