TNHE GRANGER CHURN, .-
A new invention,
Makes the best of butter
With the least attention.
Now all good dairymen,
Who would a reputation earn,
Should make their butter
In the Granger Churn.
1t makes more butter
From the same amount Of cream
Than any other Churn
That ever was seen.
And it makes it so yellow,
With such excellent taste,
1t is the pride of the seller,
For IL sells in such haste.
The grocers all want it lido.
The butter l mean
To supply all their customers,
From laborer to queen.
1t will churn in five minutes,
am happy to say,
And does not waste time s..t
Like the old-fashioned way.
Those that have tried it
Speak in mplimentary terms
And say they will use it
In preference to all other Churns.

nure, such as has been put in piles, shell
tered from the rain, and frequently
forked over to prevent what Is called
irefang. From ten to twenty tons of
such manure is often applied by garden
ers to every quarter Of an acre Of land,
and is not thought by them to be any
too much.
The size of the garden must be gov.
erned by the size Of the fanily-one
acre as an average will be small enough.
A little observation and calculation will
convince any fa-mer that the products
OF a single acre, thoroughly cultivated,
IS 1t should be, will actually give more
profit than any other acre on the farm,

Saving Liquid Manure.

Saving is better than earning. Ninety
nine out of every hundred barn-yards
are SO constructed that's large FER cent
(say 50), of ell anu is lost by being
washed away by rains. This, the solu-
bic and most valuable part Of the man
ure. is most readily adapted by the
growing plants. Then it should be
saved by all means, and measures taken
to ave it and apply it to the fields early
in the spring. Let us give q few hints
in regard to this matter. Dig now, one
or more cis.erns ear your barns, and In
covenienr positions; dig each one ten
feet deep and eight feet square at the
bottom, the sides inclining outward
towards the top, which may be twelve
feet square; use two inch oak planks for
floor, sides and top; lay the floor on stills
OF 3 By 4 scantling; brace at the bottom,
top and midway between with plank 2
by 9 inches, forninga square frame a,
each place; nail to each plank with
spikes, and thus prevent bullying at the
sides; cover as directed. Now put in
at n side An inlet pipe, 81 or 4 inches,
of long glazed tile, and on the opposite
side another pipe of equal size near the
top, to allow the surplus to escape II

tanners pump. and SO far you are I'll
right.
To use it make sprinkler, as follows
Make a water tight box of one q and
quarter inch oak boards to fit on your
wagon, and about thirty inches high; a,
the rear have an escape pipe fixed under
the bottom, and to run into q long PEI.
forated tube about five feet in length and
horizontal; fix a little gate to shut dowr

and let q lever to raise and lower it extend

The Gang Flow.

We have now used gang pillow on our
farm for . year and q half, and could not
for Any consideration, be induced to go
back to the old single pillow.
In the first place, it is easier to ride
than walk, and it is nearly as easy to
drive two teams together as one single
Then it saves one hand-one man doing
a. much blowing with the gang as two
with the single plows. This one item
Will soon a " the price of the gang,
where there is any considerable amount
to be done.
Then, it does better work. The fur
row is of a much more uniform depth
and width than it can by any possibility
be made with q single pillow. There are
no outs, no balks. no lodging. Every
thing IL cut and turned-no weeds left
standing, no balks left unstirred. The
turned burrows show as nice and uni
form as the web of undressed cloth.
The draft is also less. Our teams
seem to be wearied about as much as on
tho single plows. But, taking into &C.
count the better quality of work, in
GLIDING . deeper and wider furrow, the
draft is manifestly less in proportion to
the work done.
Moreover, the gang is more durable.
Every part of it is iron or steel, exec pit
the tongue, the whifletrees, and the tool
box, and is made in the strongest man
ner. tits almost impossible to break it,
and nothing about it can wear out ex-
cert the shares and mould boards, and
they can be easily and cheaply replaced.
1t is easily handled and controlled.
Throwing an attachment to the lever
Into . slot on the hub-and a child can
do it-raises the pillow entirely from the
furro". and suspends it above ground,
where 1t can be filed or wise
handled. While in this condition you
can ride the pillow out of the field, OF to

A New Way Of Growing Horse Radish.

A New Way Of Growing Horse Eadish.
Few culinary productions are more ap.

by the adoption Of the following
method. be easily produced in ten
months, when they will measur from 8
to 8 inches in circumference. During
February, take small straight pieces Of
the roots about the kke of, or somewhat
smaller than, the little finger from these
remove all the side shoots and roots, and
form them into straight sets from 8 to

ground by deeply digging and we'll ma

rows, 8 feet apart, and from - to 10
inches In the lows. The sets must be
planted in a slantipg position, and must

benefit of the suns heat, which causes
it to make rapid growth long before

FIGURES THAT MYS1fFY.

: Once more the arithmetic man goeth up and
down as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
deyour. For months to come lie will be try
ing to capture persons of fair intelligence,
sometimes for the benefit of either party.
Perhaps it may be worth while at the outset
to explain the few simple principles which
NAV save the average reader from much be-
wilderment and delusion.
Vermont has given q Republican majority
of about 23,5G0, a gain of 1920 in the
majority of that party since 1874. That Is
enough for the arithmetic man on that side,
and he points triumphantly to his gains" as
conclusive proof of Republican victories to
come. In reality, this gain proves nothing.
In Presidential years the Republican vote is
always larger especially in naturally Republic
can States, than at any other time. The mere
increase of vote since 1874, in a strongly Re-
publican State. ought to give an increased
majority, even though that majority may be
smaller in proportion to the total vote. In
creased majorities, and rapid gains in the pro-
portional vote of the minority, often appear at
the same time. The Democratic arthmeticiau
is therefore clearly right when he insists
that the comparison should. be with the
corresponding election of the last Presidential
year, and not by mere majOrities, but by pro-
portions of the total vote cast. The last full
vote in Vermont was in September. 1872.
when 58,559 votes were cast, OF which 2S.3I
per cent were for the Democratic ticket From
the returns thus far the total vote this year
seems to be 65,643, the Republican ma
iority about 23,500, and the Democratic vote
81 .O35, or 1924 per cent of the total.
Thereupon the Democratic calculator points
triumphantly to "a Democratic gain OF 3.61
per cent, and wants to know how his party can
Dossibly be defeated when it holds majority
of the States already, and is making gains
There comes in his little fraud, III turn. If
the comparison is to be with the vote OF the
last Presidential year, it must take into ac-
count the fact that the Democrats carried only
six States and &c electoral votes in that year.
Whatever "gains" they have made since that
time are to be applied to that condition OF
things, to see whether they suffice to pull the
Democratic party out of the ditch of defeat
into which it has been plunged in every
Presidential election since 1860. What, then,
are the iactsi The Democratic party did not
carry single Northern State at the last Presi-
Dental election, and the only States in which
it approached success, with the proportion of
its vote to the total vote in those States, were
