GRANT MUsrGO OVERHEARD.

Washington Special to the New York World.
Among the more sagaciOus republicans
in congress there has been a good deal
more of quiet talk over the removals of
Jewell and Pratt, and the proPriety has
been discussed of the supporters of
Hayes cOmingout and repudiating Grant
and Grantism and the republicanism
which supports both. Not few believe
that Grant does not desire the election of
Hayes, while all readily admit that his
warfare ON the reforms which have been
forced into his administration has aided
the camPaignfor Tlden. If Blaine were
we'll and had continued at his old post
in the house, it is firmly. believed that he
would, ifhe could have obtained good
following, openly repudiated Grant.
Whatever his own record may have
been proven and how far it may have
destroyed his unselfshness, it is well
known that he hates Grant and believes
that he has done more to damage the
republican party than any man in it.
Outside of Blaine there is no one of
sufficient courage among the republicans
in congress to make a raid on the presi-
dent and probably nothing Of the NUT
terings will be heard there openly, but
on the stump in the heat of the cam
paign many republican will declare
that Grant must be thrown overheard,
at least such is the feeling here.

THE PLANTATION.
Mules.

Mules on an average are more easily
raised, are not SO subject to disease, are
not likely to run away in wagoning and
Glowing, are longlived, will do more work
and require less food and attention. They
are stronger, will draw heavier loads and
stand great deal more hardships, and
are every way preferable to horses for
General use. Mules when three wears
did will do enough work on a farm to
nav for their feed. After having attained
the age of four years they are ready
for any kind of service. The working
life of the mule can safely be estimated
at thirty years, and that of a horse ten
years. While a mule is working its
life out, three horses will be required
to do equal service. The mule is less
dainty than the horse about food, I'M
derground grain and dry feed being
lust the thing for him.-DanviIIe Aduo-

In all sections many thousand pam
els of fence are needlessly made use Of,
by having the fields of such a shape as
to require too great proportion to in
close a given area. The most ec0nom-
zeal form is that of a square; and as
we leave this form for an obIong, we
rapidly increase the amount of fence
needed to inclose a given number of
acres. A square of ten acres will re-
quire two hundred and sixty-four pam
els Of fence to inclose it, while a field
of the same area, but twice as long as
wide, will require three hundred and
thirty panels. Some fence may be
saved by working the fields in pairs,
with the usual rotation of corn, oats,
wheat and peas. Two adjacent fields
will do without any dividing fence.
The only time during the rotation when
fence could be wanted would be after
the wheat was off in the fall, when the
.stubble should never be Pastured any
how.

Oatmeal POrriige.

Boil pint of water, drop in with
one hand, by degrees, stirring with a
wooden spoon with the other, one ounce
of oatmeal and halfa-teaspoonful of salt;
let the Porridge boil for Ealfan-hour
after all the meal is stirred in, stirring it
occasionally, to prevent sticking to the
saucepan. When done, pour it out and
serve with milk or treacle. Porridge is
made lighter by longer boiling, and for
people who suffer from indigestion should
be boiled for an hour, adding a little
boiling water should it threaten to
thicken too much.

GOV. TTLDEE,s ANCESTORS.
New York Sun.

New YORK Sun.
The ancient stock from which our
worthy governor sprang, according to
the::family genealogy (Which the writer
has in fully runs hack to Sir Richard
Tilden, who accompanied Richard I. of
England, the renowned Cgur-de Lion,
to the holy land, and fought by his sids
at the battle or Ascalon against sultan
Saladin in the twelfth century; from
which time we follow the regular descent
of the family through the several reigns
of the English kings, down to Nathaniel
Tilden, one of its members, who, with
his family, consisting of wife, three sons
and four daughters, emigrated to
America in the ship Ann, 1923. He
landed at Plymouth, Mass, and with
nine other gentlemen from the county
OF Kent, England, laid out and founded
the town of Scituate, according to ''the
history of Scituate," the author of which
says:
They were men of distinguished educa-
tion and easy fortune, who had left in
England homes altogether enviable save
in the matter of religious federation.
They were the men of Kent, celebrated
in English history as men of gallantry,
loyalty, and courtly manners, and had
been accustomed to the elegancies Of life
in the mother country.
In Burke's landing gentry of Eng
land we read:
The family of Tilden, one of great an
tiquity, has been seated in Kent for
several centuries. Of three distinct
branches into which it separated in the
sixteenth century, the eldest became
possessed of the manor of Milsted in
trat country, the second renewed into
Sussex, and one of its members
(NathanieD emigrating, founded the
numerous Tildens of America, while the
youngest branch settled at field.
Nathaniel Tilden was chosen ruling
elder of the first church in SCituate, and
belonged to the liberal or moderate class
of the puritan fathers. 1t is from
Nathaniel Tilden, the American ancestor
that Gov. Tilden has descended, he
being of the sixth generation from the
sturdy puritan pioneer.

Rotation Crons.

Every farmer ought to know that
plants which require chiefly the same
kind of materials for their support, ought
not be grown in succession. For in
stance, wheat, barley, oats and corn,
which are grown for the grain, ought to
be followed by those cultivated for their
roots, foliage or fibre, as clover, beets,
turnips and hemp, giving the longest
possible time between the crops of the
same kind, or such as feed on the same
food. After farmers have done all they
can to acquaint themselves with the best
order of succession in farm products in
cropping, the problem is still a difficult
and perplexing one, because experience
affords so many contradictory answers,
which must necessarily arise from varia-
tions existing, in soils and climates of
different localities, many of which no
foresight of man cali guard against sue
cessfully. Hence the great necessity and
Importance of each one noting down his
experiences and observations to increase
the common store of knowledge for the
benefit of all engaged in improving agri-
culture. One of the most pleasant and
instructive exercises is the study of the
nature of plants, their peculiar nutri-
ment and the soil suited to their prOduc-
ton; and the farther these researches
are pushed the more deeply interested
and highly benefited the farmer be-
comes. This constitutes a knowledge of
the great law by which he plans and
works, and rises in his great profession
of agriculture. Short of this no farmer
ought to be willing to rest satisfied. His
and forecast will then pay
him large dividend on all his study and
Sun.

To Restore Black Goods.

Rusty black goods of every kind can
be made as good as new by dipping them,
when perfectly clean, in a not very
strong solution of extract OF logwood,
and, after drying, washing them in soap
suds. No settling is required. Made
up goods, as dresses, or mems coats, can
be thoroughly sponged instead of dip
ped. Care should be taken that the
solution be not too strong, and the
ottener the articles are washed in the
soap-suds the brighter they will become.
This will apply to lace wells, as well as
any other article.

EXTREMELY SILLY.

There is silly attempt made by some
republican journals to spread a report
that Gov. Tilden will promise in his let
ter of acceptance not to remove any
OficehOlders in case he is elected. One
of the chief purposes of his election i
the turning out of the innumerable
scOundrels who have grown fat and inso-
lent in office, and dishonest through the
temptations of Office. Tilden is going to
reform the government, and if he should
bind himself to leave the rogues that
have got the places in them, there would
be no possibility of reform and no neces.
sity for any opposition to Hayes. No,

Graham Gems.

Take equal quantities by measure of
good graham -four and cold water. Mix
and bake in a very quick oven in the
small pans especially made for gems, and
which can be got of any hardware dealer.
Success depends on baking the dough in
small quantities, must be done when
the pans are used, and in a quick oven,
so that top crust forms almost immedi-
ately and makes the gems light.

DOC BITES

Mr.. Macdonald, in Land and Water,
says: 81 beg to invoke the pOwerfulaid
of your columns to dispel the silly delu-
sion that person bitten by a dog will
die of hydrOphobia, should the animal 20
mad afterward. Many people of nervous
temperament have actually died of this
fear alone, while lamCntable amount of
ignorance on the subject is still allowed
to grow up. When a dog bites he is in
stantly suspected Of madness, although
not one in a thousand of the offenders is
rabid; consequently, numbers of our Ca
nine friends are cruelty sacrificed in mere
panic. Moreover, hundreds of our SUI
perstitiOus fellow-creatures once bitten
live in horrible suspense, believing that
they must die of the dreadful malady.
Now, the bite of q sound dog is no more
fatal than the scratch of child. Fur
thermore, a competent authority states
that, even when rabid dogs bite, only one
case out of twenty-nine is followed by
hydrOphObia.
