The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-08-31


These figures show that the country in
nine years paid for the luxury of Grant
ism the enormous sum of eight hundred
and sixty-fve millions FIVE hundred and
fifteen thousand eight hundred and sew
enty-nine dollars and seyenty-three cents,
or nearly one hundred million dollars more
per gear than the cost of rule under
Democratic administration. The lower
columns of figures represent nine years
peace, when there was every opportunity
for tightening expenses, instead of which
the Republicans have increased the ex-
penses in every way, and, in spite of
these facts, ask continuance in power
for another four years. Is this to be a
government for the people, or is the gov
ernment to be run in the interest of one
hundred thousand office-holders?

BARNARD MANURE AND COM
MERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
tFrom the Hero25)

Barny8.d manure is quite deEervedly the
main fertilizer il ordinary farm operations,
yes its special value rests more 10 its bene-
fetal influence upon the physical than upon
the chemical condition Of the soil. Al
though we recommon' SIZE use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, yet j. il only to make up
for past lossos and present wants. Our
system Of rotation and management in
general farming ougE 10 b 20 arranged
as to produce UPON 6ae farm the mauure3
required by the crops taken off, for
pecuniaTy reasons. In farming, for spe-
cial industrial purposes alone will these
fertilizers attain more and more promi.
hence on account oftLair special Influence
upon the development Of those constitu-
ents in the plant which give to certain
crops a peculiar commercial value as
Z. e, liberal supplies Of potash increase
the amount of starch in the potato, and
sugar in the beet, and produce a superior
fibre in flax.
A new era may be dated from the time
of the introduction Of commercial manures.
The farmer finds himself less restricted
than formerly he is more at liberty to
choose his crops with reference to his
markets, thus tending to make his bust
ness more remuner4tive. Their lmpor-
tance cannot be over-essimated as long
as farmers allow SO large o proper.
lion of home fertilizers to waste, and rs
iong as the sewage question of the cities
remains an open one. Leaving the i'm
provements Of farm implements out Of
consideration, we can safely assert that
the attainment Of better results in farm
operations is mainly due to a know
ledge Of the relations of the plants to the
soil, air and water, and The various relations
of these three agencies to each other,
besides q due appreciation Of the mutual
dependence of plant aad animal life. The
new agriculture recognizes as its basis
the necessity Of a strict restitution to
the soil of those substances which the
crops have abstracted. There is no oppo-
sition to any particular system ; each
farmer is left to choose the kind of farming
best adapted to his natural and personal
resources, yet all are restricted by one
common rule-they have to comply with
tie uuultera0le Relations between demand
and supply, for sooner or later every crop,
in lis own peculiar way, tends TO exhaust
the soil.

LIQUID MANURE FOR FLOWERS

One Of the best kinds Of liquid manure
for growing flowers may be prepared by
putting into a hogshoad a few.bushels Of
flesh COW manure and filling up with
water, and use it reduced to about the
color of weak sea. Weak and often for
most plants is the most beneficial form Of
using it. This kind of liquid manure,
when procurable, is better than guonO, as
there is not SO muca danger Of giving it to
the plant stronger than they can endure.
If guano is used, just put sufficient into
the water to change the color q little.
We remember seeing a fine collection Of
fancy peIargoniums completely destroyed
by watering with TOO strong guano water.
Therefore people using it should be eau
tious about the strength of it. The ac-
FOUNDATIONS e. the hennery, goosery or
duckery will make about as good liquid
manure as guano.-Uid

UNION, NO. l.
Successful Trial Of the Rsmodslsd Eng


Union engine, No. j, of the District fire depart.
ment, has for the past two or three months been
in McClelland's machine shop for repairs. During
that time such alterations have been made in the
different parts Of the engine that it may be said to
have been rebuilt. Under the direction Of Chief
Engineer Cronin and Mr.. McClelland many parts
have been refashioned on an entirely new pattern:
The boiler was enlarged, the cylinder, pump and
other portions made larger, and the valves in the
pump so altered as TO greatly increase the capa-
city Of the engine; Several private triaas 81 tae
suits have been very satisfactory TO Messrs. Gro
min and McCIelland, by whom the alterations and
improvements were designed.
A public trial was held last evening, at Q
o'clock at the intersection of Twelfth and ID
streets and Pennsylvania avenue. Quite crowd
the engine and when the capacity Of the machine
was shown surprise and admiration were gen.
orally expressed.
soners were present and other citizens interested
in the department. The engine was worked by
No company, of which Joseph Parrish is FORE
man, and James Moriarity engineer. Chief
Crunin took general supervision Of the trial.
About five minutes were consumed in starting
the fire and getting up steam. The hose used was
new linen hose from Waltons factory. A one
and-a-Quarter-inch nozzle pipe was first used.
With this pipe steady stream was thrown, with
n pressure Of 126 pounds, to distance exceeding
o. g.. nh. stream was turned upon the sheP;;
herd building at the corner of Twelfth stree,
water was thrown to the railing on the top OF the
roof The building is l25 feet high.
second trial was made with an inch-and-
three-sixteentbs nozzle. Still greater results
were attained. A stroam was thrown over two hun
dred and sixty feet on the ground, and when the
water was turned upon the Shepherd building 1t
was thrown to a height, at the least calculation,
Of twenty-five above the loftest part Of the build
ing. The trial was satisfactory in every respect
The other old engines in the city will be "a ken
into shop successively and remodeled after the
pattern of No. engine. When all are completed
the department will have six Of the strongest and
best engines in the country.

BUSINESS Is BUSINESS,
An Enterprising Real Estate Firm and its

WOXks
On Saturday last, after visiting the Capitol,
City Hall and other points where there was
prospect Of picking up an item Of news, We
dropped in the real estate office of B. H. Warner,
corner Of Seventh and F streets, and found every
one connected with the establishment busy AZ
bees MI Warner who manages the loan branch
of the business, was holding regular leyee. Mr..
Emmons in charge Of discounts, was surrounded
by parties wishing to curtai or renew their notes.
and with his usual smile granting their requests.
Mr. McIntire was surrounded by the fair sex,
making enquiries as to the rental Of houses. From
his gentlemanly department and business qualif-
cations no doubt he will make popular landlord.
Mr.. Caldwell, who has been in charge Of the auc-
tion branch go long, was hsrda work writing his
advertisements, which are looked upon with such
delight by newspaper men.
We were surprised to see so much business
going on in this Office having been told all around
The city that times were SO dull. They have seve-

Catlin, tbs London Evangelist.

Mr.. VIM. Cabin spoke again at the open-ar
meeting Of tR1e Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, corner Of Seventh street and Pennsylyania
avenue, last evening, as he is accustomed to TO
the working classes in the streets Of London. A
very good audience was assembled, and the plain
eut powerful discourse held them interested to
the close Referring first to the solemn certainty
of q Judgment where we must all give account for
the deeds done in the body, he then alluded to
the love Of God as shown in the gin Of his only
begotten Son to save us from the penalty OF our
sins. He described the excitement caused in his
country by the passage of Sergeant Bates from
John O'Groats 1.-THE extreme north Of Scotland)
to the Lands End of Cornwall, in fulhllment Of
wager that he could carry the American flag
through Great Britain without its being insulted.
The thought then occurred to him that he would
come to this country and bear his hag-not the
Stars and Stripes nor the Union Jack Of England,
but q banner inscribed with an epitome Of the
plan Of salvation, which he would proclaim 70 the
people.
He started, and he found, when he announced
his purpose, that he was not only given q pass
across the ocean, but also the railroad across
the country to San Francisco, and was every
where welcomed. He was very severe on the
liquor dealers, the vampires, as he called them,
whom, he said, he was accustomed to beard In
their dens in all parts Of London and declare to
them the denunciations Of Scripture. He Illus
trated his discourse by numerous pertinent quo
tations Of Scripture and anecdotes from his
twenty years. experience as an evangelist among
crowds assembled at fairs, about court-rooms and
to witness executions.
MIR. Catlin has q powerful voice and q very
earnest manner, and, like Mr.. Moody, depends
more on the Bible for his arguments than on the
learning Of the schools. He speaks again this
evening on "Four Funny Little Things" men,
toned in Scripture, and tomorrow evening on
on Thursday for Philadelphia, and on July Is for
England.

the spirit of independence that animated the
