WEBSTER.

lie was Il presidential candidate in
1886, and received the vote of Mas
sachusetts. After this New England
continually maintained its claims to
that high office, and his ambition was
continually hattered by the hope of sue
cess. A strenuous effort was made atthe
last wing national convention (lS52) to
secure his nomination, but it failed.
Gen. Scott was placed on the course, and
Webster was terribly disappointed. Had
he lived a month longer he would have
seen the defeat of Scott and the utter
ruin of the wing party, but he lied be-
fore election. Webster and Clay were
no doubt the chief sufferers by presi.
dental disappointment, and the defeat
of the latter was not only acrushing blow
to himself, but was keenly felt by his
friends who were linked with him with
bones of peculiar affection.
CAss AND OTHERS
Lewis Cass for many years aspired to
the presidency, and in lS4S got the DEM
ocratic nomination, but was beaten by
Taylor, whose majority, however, was
only thirty-six votes. Thomas Fl. Ben
ton was another %aspirant, but never
reached the dignity of a nomination.
Stephen A. Douglass pursued the presi-
dental bubble for many years. He
sacrificed to this the peace of the ration
by destroying the Missouri compromise,
and the result was a cruel war. Seldom
has greater misery followed ambition.
John G. Fremont, although defeated by
Buchanan, can hardly be viewed as a dis
appointed man, for his nomination was
totally unexpected, and his election be-
yond hope. Winfield Scott, however,
was a greater sufferer, having the exam
pie of Jackson and Taylor before him, he
naturally supposed his military achieve
ments would insure him an election. In
this he was grievously mistaken, for he
had only forty-two votes, while Pierce
had two hundred and tiny.iour. Scott,
indeed only carried four states, and his

Big Farming.

A GENTLEMAN who came down
from the North Pacific the other day
gives to the st. Paul Pioneer-Press the
following interesting notes in relation
to Dairymple's great wheat farm. The
amount of ground sown to wheat this
spring was 1900 acres. Harvesting
commenced on Monday, with nine
Self-binders. The machines are run
fifteen hours without rest, except the
ordinary stops for oiling, lunch and
dinner, and the result per day is $50
acres. One man is employed to each
team, and twelve men follow the ma
chimes, shocking the wheat as soon as
it is cut. The entire 1 300 acres were
to be cut and shocked during the week ;
stacking and threshing will of course
follow. Dairymple is harvesting his
crop for about one-fifth of the cost re-
quired under the system in vogue ten
years ago. At the time harvesting
commenced it was estimated that the
yield per acre from the entire tract
would not be less than twenty bushels
to the acre. Grasshoppers had done
but little damage; the excessive hot
weather came to late to blast the crop,
and everybody who saw the waving
grain pronounced big wheat farming
on the North Pacific a success. The
farm on which the crop was grown
consists Of $1,000 acres, on which next
season there will be soWn to wheat
5000 acres, the sod of it having been
broken this season. During the break
ing season Mr.. Dairymple had as high
as 100 teams at work. The burrows
turned were six miles long, and the
teams made but two trips a day, trav-
cling with each ploW, to make the four
burrows, twenty-four miles. The To-
cation of this farm is eighteen miles
west of MOOrhead, Mimi, in the pro-
posed new Territory of Pembina, and
this is not the only big farm in the
vicinity, but is the ''boSs'' farm Of a
dozen or more running from 500 to
several thousand acres.

How to Manage Cuttings.

In reply to a correspondent, the
Floral Cabinet gives the following di-
rections in regard to the making and
managing of plant cuttings.
In selecting a cutting, a great deal
depends upon judicious choice; if the
slip is too young and full Of fresh sap,
it will fade away from too much
evaporation; if it is too old-hard and
Woody-it will take great while to
strike root.
You must take cutting that is per-
fectly ripened, and is from a vigorous
shoot, yet little hardened at the
base
It is also essential to have bud or
joint at or near the end Of the cutting !;
as all roots strike from it; and the
nearer it is to the base, the greater
your chance of success.
Plant your cuttings in common red
pots, filed half full Of rich loan and
two inches of sand on top securing
sand will do, but not sea sand); wet
this thoroughly, and put the cuttings
close around the edge of the pot, for if
the bud or joint comes in contact with
the surface of the pot, it seems to
strike root more quickly. Pull off the
lower leaves before you plant the cut
ting. Press the wet sand tightly about
the tiny stem, for a great deal of your
success in raising the cutting depends
upon the close contact of the sand with
the stem. When the cuttings are firm
ly planted, cover them with glass

kissing in Austrian Theaters

KISSING in Austria is perhaps justly
regarded as too serious a matter to be
trifed with on the stage. An Aus
trian manager would be as much sur
prised at seeing the lover in a play
kiss his beloved in earnest as at seeing
the villain in play stab his victim in
earnest. Hence a scandal the other
night at the Imperial Opera. A hand
some tenor. Bastiano Widmann, hay
ing to kiss the soprano, Signorina Clio
vanni. in Lortzing's opera of the "Ar-
morer," that lady at the rehear-
sal requested him to make be-
heve'' in the correct Viennese man.
ner Instead of which, when the
proper moment came at the first per-
Torrance, the handsome tenor plump
ly and resonantly kissed the aston
ished soprano upon her rosy lips. Sig
norma Giovanni, after the curtain
fell, went in a pretty rage to the man
ager and complained. The manager
sent for the handsome tenor and re-
qnested him to restrain his ardor for
the future on pain of a worse thing.
When the second representation took
place, Signorina Giovanni, distressing
him, exclaimed, loud enough for the
house to hear: 8 I will excuse you from

Flowing for Wheat.

THE time for this work is upon us.
If we were to say that millions Of dol
lars are lost yearly by the shiftless sys-
tenn of blowing land for wheat, we
would be within bounds. In hardly
anything are farmers more remiss.
So the ground is turned over three or
four inches it is deemed that the work
is we'll done; and not One-half Of the
farmers turn over with the plow the
land even to this depth. If they will
take a rule with them into the field,
they will see that we are telling the
truth. 1t is astonishing that so good
crops Of wheat are raised with such
poor preparation of the ground.
1t can hardly be necessary at this
late day to speak Of the great advan-
tages of deep culture. The greater
amount of plant food furnished, the
better drainage afforded in wet wealth
er, the increased moisture in deep
plOWed land in case Of drOuth, and
other advantages that might be emu
merated-are too apparent to need re-
peating.
The first requisite in deep blowing
is good plow-One that is capable of
turning deep furroW. These can be
obtained almost anywhere. Great
improvement has been made in plows
within our recollection, and most pillow
manufactures are turning out excel
lent ploWs. The next requisite is a
good team-not pair of poor,
scrawny skeletons, but a strong, fast
walking, evenly-pulling, well-brOken
team of horses or mules. Deep
blowing cannot be done with a
poor team. There must be power
to turn over a broad, deep fur
row. When this is turned over, if a
team attached to subsoil pillow could
follow, uplifting the ground in the
same furrow, it would pay well for
the extra labor. There is an uplifting
subsoiler and a long, narrow mold
board subsoiler which turns over the
SubsOil, throwing about one-fOurth of
the soil on the top of the furroW.
Every farmer ought to have both of
these subsoil plOWs, to use as he may
prefer-and increased crops would
recompense him for their use.
But where the subsoil pillow is not at
hand, it is better to attach three horses
to pillow, and turn over a frrOW ten
or twelve inches deep-and it will be
many years before the land will forget
1t. If the land has been long worn, it
will almost make new land Of it; and
the increased yield will astonish the
owner.
Of course with poor white clay sub
soil different course must be pur-
sued. That does not want to be
brought on top. But the uplifting
subsoil plow should be used to open
and deepen the almost impervious
clay.
IF The suggestions we have made are
followed, we shall hear less about
wheat being winter Tiled, less of light
crops Of wheat, less of cheat in wheat,
less of the complaint that farming
don't pay.-CoInaan's Rural World.
