Smaller Wheat Bags.

A writer In the New York Tribune
talks quite sensibly, We think, when he
says that the bags for wheat are too
large by one-quarter. The fact that
they are too large is confirmed, he
thinks, By the frequency of strains and
ruptules, and by the complaint among
the older class of farmers that they are
too heavy. Of course there are thou
sands of young men, and old men too,
who can shoulder two bushel bag of
wheat; but that does not prove that it is
not dangerous experiment to under
take. He cannot shoulder many sacks
at one time, for he lifts about all he
can lift when he raises the butt-end of
a tWo-bushel bag in the usual way.
Wheat sacks, says the writer, ought
to contain about one and half bush
els, or ninety pounds each. This is the
quantity farmers now put into their
bags at threshing time, except when
the granary is some distance away
This same method ought to be employ
ed in hauling to market; but farm ers
persist in moving wheat in the same
old dig bags, laid down fiat on the
wagon bottom, whereas if each bag con-
tanned only &. bushei and half the bags
could stand on end and be much more
convenient to unload and for the ex-
animation of the grain.
Work that tires by degrees, as plow-
ing, binding, threshing, fencing, ETC., is
not dangerous to health or muscle. It
is abrupt and powerful exertion, like
lifting heavy load, that causes strains,
ruptures, and Injuries otherwise good
constitutions. Put wheat into bushel
and half sacks and there is no danger
from this source.

/ have not enjoyed good health for several years
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
when the body from debility, almost refuses to per-
form it's daily task never was believer in dosing
with medicines; but having heard the VEGETINE
spoken of SO highly, was determined to try it, and
shall never regret that determination. AS tonic
(Which every one needs at time) it surpasses
anything ever heard of. It invigorates the whole
system; it is great cleanser and purifier of the blood
There are many OF my acquaintances who have taken
it, and all unite in praise of it's satisfactory effect
Especially among the aged class of people, it i'm
nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby strengthen
ing the mind as well as the body. One aged lady,
who has been suffering through life with Scrofula
and has become blind from its effects having tried
many remedies with favorable result, was induced
by friends to try the VEGETINE. After taking a
few bottles, she obtained such great relief that she
expressed wish for her sight, that she might be able
to look upon the who had sent her such bless
ing. Yours respectfully,

In order to preserve tomatoes through
the year it is. not necessary to resort to
the expense of canning them. If stew
ed in the ordinary manner, but without
butter or crackers, only a little salt and
sugar, they can be put into jugs-two
quarts Or gallon, according to the size
of the family-and if corked up tightly
they will keep for a year. To make
assurance doubly sure, some melted
wax may be poured around the corks.
Tomotoes may also be dried easily.
Skinned and prepared with a little su-
gar, they make good substitute for
figs, and are sold under the name of to-
mato figs.
How TO DO UP SHIRTs.-A lady gives
the following in the Ohio Farmer: To
three tablespoonfuls of common starch,
well boiled in quart of water, add a
lump of lard the size of pea, table
spoonful of loaf sugar and little salt.
Let it cool until you can use it without
burning your hands. When the clothes
are thoroughly dry dampen your shirts
In thin, cold starch; roll them up and
let them lay one hour before ironing
When ready to iron have bowl of
clean, cold water at hand, dip a clean
handkerchief into it and wiring it out
dry; then stretch the shirt over shirt
board, and with the dampened hand
kerchief wipe off every particle of
starch that appears on the surface, tax
ing care always to wipe downward. Be
careful Lot to have the iron too hot.
The more pressure you use on the
starched surface the finer polish you
will get. I have done up shirts in this
way for several years, and know that it
will produce a polish equal to any
laundry work. I forgot to mention in
its proper place that you should never
boil the starch until your clothes are
ready to hang up to dry.
No shirt can be done up nicely with
out shirt board. The one [ have is
two feet long and one foot wide-an
inch board planed smooth, and covered
on one side with six thicknesses of
flannel, the top one being soft white
flannel. The first five thicknesses are
stretched over tightly, and tackled Sc
curely onto the edge of the board all
around; the white flannel, outside, is
stitched to the edges of the others, so
that it can be removed for washing
whenever necessary. Old blankets OF
shawls that have done their duty as
such can be well utilized for this pur-
nose

that glycerine is not used in the right
way. She asserts that to preserve the
smoothness and, softness of the hands,
keep a small bottle of the glycerine
near the place where you habitually
wash them, and whenever you have
finished washing, and before wiping
them, put enc or two drops Of glycer-
inc on the wet palm and rub the hands
thoroughly with it as if it were soap,

til the contrary appears, the troops have

dersigned arrived here yesterday. They
came in answer to a telegram from
Hon. Abraham S. Hewitt, chairman
of the National Democratic Committee,
dated at New York, Nov. 10, 1876, as
follows: The citizens of New Orleans
urgently request that a delegation of
prominent gentlemen come there at
once to counsel peace and fair and
quested to be one of ten or fifteen gen
tlemen, all widely known, to meet at
the st. Charles hotel, New Orleans,
Monday morning. Your prompt ac-
ceptance by telegraph is requested.
This emergency appeals to your pat
riotism. The undersigned are inform
ed that you have come here at the re-
quest of the United States, to see that
the board of canyassers make a fair
count of the vote actually cast. While
in the late canvass you gave your sup
port to Hayes and Wheeler as candi-
dates for president and vice-president,
and the undersigned gave their support
to Tilden and Hendricks for these Off
ces, they feel assured that all good citi-
zens of all parties regard an honest
count and true return of the vote act
ually cast, of greater moment than the
success of any candidate for office, and
are ready to do all that honorable men
should do to secure such a return Of the
vote cast at the late election in Louisi-
ana, which seems more than ever be-
fore of national Importance, and upon
which in this crisis may depend the
very existence of the constitutional
government. The undersigned, there
fore, in view of the unhappy controver-
sizes which have heretofore arisen from
the action of a returning board in a
State where its action could not in any
event change the result of a presiden-
tial election, and in view of the desire
of all good men that effect should be
given to the will of the majority as
lawfully expressed, respectfully ask
YOU, or such of you as I present, to
meet and confer with them personally,
or through committees, as may be
deemed most wise, that such influence
as we possess may be exerted in behalf
of such a canvass of votes actually cast,
as by its fairness and impartiality shall
command the respect and acquiescence
of the American people of all parties.

That Hayes is to Be Our
Next President.
Louisiana Ours.

Louisiana Ours.
Washington, Nov. IA. - Senator
West has a telegram from a Conserva-
tive Republican in New Orleans, dated
to-day, saying that returns from all the
parishes have been received, and that
the Republicans have carried the
national, state and Legislative tickets
without throwing out the inundated
parishes.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE follow
ing dispatch was received this evening;
New Orleans, Nov. 14.-To Hon. j.
NJ. McGrew, Observation-Disclosures
are Frightening hourly. Incoming re-
turns strengthen us greatly. Despite
violence and intimidation Hayes and
Packard will have a legitimate majority
of at least 5000.
TSignedl J. j. MAGUIRE,
Acting Postmaster.
South Carolina.
Washington, Nov. IA letter from
a Republican Congressman of South
Carolina to Judge Edmunds, received
to-day, gives the vote of South Carolina
by counties. This shows that Hayes
majority is 1916, and Chemherlain's
1929.
Florida Better Than Expected.
Tallahassee, Nov. 1.-THE county
canva of the vote of Florida was
made to-day, but as many of thepolling
places are hundreds of miles from all
railway communication, the official re-
turns cannot be placed in the hands of
the board of state for at
least a week. No figures that a be
relied upon have been received from
any of the counties tonight, but all
scattering returns which have come to
hand show that the Republicans have
underestimate rather than exaggerat-
ed their majority. The county board
have commenced to canvass them and
it will rest with the state board to
throw out returns if frauds can be
proved against either party.
From Simonton.
New York, Nov. IA candidly
think that calm and moderate men of
both parties here are of the conviction
of Hayes election.

Another Democratic Rooroack.

another Democratic Roorback.
New York, Nov. 14.-The Herald's
Washington special says:
1t is said at the Democratic head
quarters here that by a blunder in the
printing of the Republican electoral
ticket of Wisconsin only nine Republic
can electors have been chosen out of
ten from that State, and that as a con-
sequence the highest candidate on the
Democratic ticket is also elected, CIV
ing Tilden the requisite majority of
1875 votes, regardless of what may be
the result Of the elections in the three
disputed southern States.
The Rgutation.
Milwaukee, Nov. 14.-The facts con-
corning the report that one Democratic
presidential elector is chosen in Wis
consin are as follows: 1t was discovered
several weeks before election that Mi
ner, a Republican candidate for e~lector,
was a postmaster. He was thereupon
taken from the ticket and Downs sub
stituted. The blanks for returns sent
by the secretary of state to the town
officers of election contained Miners
name instead of Downs. Upon learn
ing this the chairman of the Republic
can State Central committee caused
circulars to be sent to these officers, in
structing them to erase Miners name
and insert Downs. In but few cases,
so far as learned, this was not done,
and the votes are returned as if they
had been cast for Miner, when in fact
they were cast for Downs, hut the
number is not sufficient to raise any
doubt about Downs election.
And Still Another
Washington, Nov. 14.-Some Demo-
Gratis here are circulating the rumor
that one of the Oregon electors on the
Republican ticket is q Democrat, and
will vote for Tilden.
Concerning Blaine.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Infuential
Republicans here talk of the election
of Blaine to the presidency of the sem
ate as an event likely to ensue immedi-
ately after the reassembling of con
gress, If such action should be taken
it would of course be to provide for a
possible contingency which might leave
n acanc in the Offices of president
and yice-president of the United States
after the -4th of March, and deyolye
the powers of the executive upon the
presiding officer Of the senate.
Postmasters Resign.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The postmas-
ter-general to-day received the resigna-
tions Of John w. Watts, postmaster at
Lafayette, Oregon, and Of II. NJ. So.-
lace, postmaster at Bridgeport, Yer
mont, both Of whom were chosen as
presidential electors. The designations

both parties and it is plain that only the
official canvass by the returning boards
can decide it.

New York, Nov. 14.-Sollace, of
Vermont, having resigned his postmas-
tership, is a qualified presidential cleo
tor. So says Senator Morrill,. His
resignation any time before he receives
an electors commission, is sufficient.
The senate settled this principle when
it voted that Vance's election as a
North Carolina senator was not invali-
dated by the fact that his disabilities
were removed only after such election.
