The Cnnvassing Board Ordered to Nee;
TO.day.


TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 25.-The board of can
vassers received notification this morning
from the Secretary of State, who is an ex-
off1cio member of the board. and charged with
calling it together. they must weet at II o'clock
noon, Monday, to canvass the vote of the state.
The judge has not yet decided the injunction
and mandamus cases now pending before him,
and this action of the board seems to obvate
the necessity of decision, as this will be doing
precisely what the Democratic managers
prayed the court to command to be done. The
board will admit committee of five frem each
of the political parties and the chaifmen of the
two state committees to the session. The de-
clsion as to the admission of newspaper cor
respondents has not yet been made. The re-
suit will hardly be reached before the 9th of
December, when by the laws of the United
States the electors certificates must be issued.
No Intention ON Gov. Stearns' Part to

FOR EIGN.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
EnRlandss Aftitude

VIENNA, Nov. 26.-The Marquis of Sails
bury declared in conversation that Eng
land would not appear at the conference
as the opponent in principle of Russia
her demand in form of a guarantee O
the rights of Christian subjects in Turkey with
out destroying the sovereignty of the Porte
He would not regard it a violation of thai
sovereignty if the Porte were to enter into
certain engagements with Europe regarding
the Porte's subjects and the powers were t.
cooperate in the introduction of guaranteed
reforms.
PARIS, Nov. 26 The LIE Temps says Eng
land and Russia are agreed as to the character
of the guarantees required, a trifiing difference
only existing on the subject of the occupation
OF Bulgaria.
The Real Point mt Issue.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Vienna correspond
ent of the Times telegraphs that the real
difference in the conference will be on the
question of occupation. Every proposal tend.
ing towards ompromise or delay on that point
is readily approved. Hence it has been pro-
posed that European commission be formed
to watch the accomplishment of reforms, also
that this commission have power to move for
an armed occupation. The success of this pro-
ject depends on its acceptance by Russia, hopes
OF which are becoming fainter daily. So the
question again comes, what will the powers do
if Russia declines such compromise, insists on
occupation and carries it into effect.
The POrte's Attitude.
The attitude Of the Porte, according to news
from Constantinople, is not reassuripg. The
Porte still takes up its position on the 9th ar
ticle of the treaty of Paris, which provides
that the powers shall not interfere in internal
affairs of the Turkish empire.
Germany Will Support Russia.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Standards despatch
from Berlin says that while Russia does not in
terfere with German interests Germany feels
morally obliged to support Russia's claims at
the coming conference. Should war be una
voidable Germany would not object to the in
vasion of Bulgaria by Russia.

so as TO derive a good profit from them.

ers' Association he said that lie fed cut
feed steamed by pouring boiling water
upon it, and gave his cows warm water
10 drink three times Per day, immedi-
ately after eating. by this imethod Of
Stsaining feed he saved one third in feed
and got the same amount of milk the
average being about nine aud one-half
quarts OF milk per COW yer day through
The year. During the six ummer months
the feed cost him ten cents per DAY and
seventeen cents per cow per drR and
seventeen cents in the winter months.

WHEN TO EAT FRUIT.-The question
is often asked at what time in the day
should fruit be eaten. In tropical eoun-
tries, where fruit is the Chief article OF
TODD, the rule appears to be that the
earlier in the day it is taken the better,
aud the later the verse. In hot weather
many wise people will eat none after
noon alleging that the digestion then
declines in power with the decline of
the day; and the fruit, instead OF digest
ing, decomposes, owing TO lhe-presence
OF the saccharine matter. The objection
to fruit and certain kinds of vegetables
late in the day, be the explanation what
it may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling any
Inconvenience.

FLORAL HINTS. - The English Ivy
should be kept cool as possible during
the summer, therefore place it in some
shady, cool position. To induce back
breaks on your ivy, place few stakes
around the edge of the pot and train the
shoots in horizontal position on them,
and the eyes of the axis of the leaves
will soon start into growth.
The Towering Geraniums cannot
have too deep soil to grow in during
summer. This prevents the dry wealth
er taking TOO great effect on them. A
sunny position suits them best. If of
struggling habit, pinch back when set
out.

4 Agricultural College experiments in
raising potatoes, last year, showed that
the heaviest yield was obtained from
planting whole potatoes, each weighing
four ounces, and putting one in hill,
and showing that whole potatoes, gem
orally, gave larger yields than cnt ones.
This is an important result, and should
be further tested. Cutting potatoes does
not seem TO be exactly consistent with
natures method of reproduction, and it
NAV be that it is after all a serious error.
