Poultry in Orchards.

Keeping poultry in orchards is mattee
that should be practiced, when possible.
We believe that if farmers and fruit grow
ers knew the benefits arising from such
management they would at once adopt it.
Last fall we visited an orchard in which
fowls where kept, the owner Of which told
US that before the fowls were confined in
it the trees made little or no growth, and
only corresponding amount of fruit was
obtained. But what a change was evident
now. The grass was kept down, the weeds
killed, and the trees presented an appear
ance of thrift which the most enthusiastic
horticulturist could not but admire and
envy. The growth of the trees was most
vigorous and their foliage remarkably lux
uriant. The fruit was abundant, of large
size, and free from worms and other imper.
fections. This excellence was accounted
for by the proprietor, who remarked that
the "hens ate all the worms and curculio
within their reach, even the canker worm."
He found less trouble with their roosting
in trees than he expected, and that pick.
ct fence six feet high kept them within
bounds. His orchard was divided into
three sections, and the fowls were changed
from one to another, as the orchards action
seemed to require.-POultry Yard.

Money and How to Get 1t.

Their is no word in the English language
more often used and universally admired
than money" In fact it is con sidered the
thing altogether desired, and men 10 obtain
it will go through all kinds of toll and
hardship imaginable. They will even
commit the most heinous crimes Every
body is after money, and the great desire
to gain it hastily often ends in q total fail
ure to accomplish the desired end About
the first question youth asks when he gets
old enough to think about providing for
the future is, "How can I get money, and
how can get rich?" There are two ways
of getting rich. One is by industry and e.
conomy, and the other is by dishonesty
Riches accumulated by industry, economy
and judicious investment never detract
from mans dignity and self respect, but
carry with them happiness, contentment
and clear conscience, and leave no re-
grets. The true secret is to "make haste
slowly" in getting money. It does not
make SO much difference as to the kind of
business a man enages in, for any business
will pay if attended to properly, but no
man should embark in any business to
which he is not adapted; but when he does
make his selection he should go in with
steady and determined purpose to win and
succeed By constant and persistent labor
remembering that "little by little" is the
sure way to succeed, and Of thai little
little should be saved. Remembering also
that ii is by what we save that We get rich,
and nat By what we make, A man may
make a million year and If he spends il
all he will be no better of at theend of the
year than in the beginning Whilst the
man who makes $500 year and saves but
ten is getting rich. The man at thirty who
can save FIVE dollars month, and invest
the same in real estate is in fair way to
be in easy circumstances when he reaches
his fftieth year. No man has yet lived
who saved his money and invested it in
real estate who did not make money
Therefore, the true and only certain way of
getting money is by industry, economy,
saving and investing in real estate, and the
man who follows this ruleais sure to win.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON D. c. Aug. . IS

WASHINGTON D. c. Aug. % 1877.
Correspondence OF Somerset Press.
The Southern policy of The Administra-
tion has elimenated the question of the
North and South from politics; there is
now no such thing as Federal influence in
State affairs Again, the negro has got at
last to shift for himself He is strong enough
and intelligent enough, now to consider him
self according to his rights and privileges.
Poiititions viii seek his vote, but he will
not receive favor because Of his color, OF
race, or ignorance. The Electoral Vote Of
1876 was an intensely interesting matter in
the time of it, but people are sick Of hear
ing 1t gabbled about and called a great
fraud, !" and the Presidents title questioned,
and all such stuff The whole matter was
settled by the Congress in whose hand the
constitution placed that and all such mat
tiers for settlement, and if the Constitution
was wrong or lacking in any point, it is
not the fault of those who discharge duties
in occurance with its dictations. The ques-
tions that really should be under considera-
tion and are to a certain extent, are those
which will be embraced in the Presiden Is
| annual message to Congress. First of all
in these will come the Public safety, and
the increase of the Army and Navy will
pertain to that and be considered in their
connection. It is claimed by those who
ought TO be informed upon the subject that
the wantof available troops above prevents
the quelling of Indian instructions and
protection on the Texas frontier against
Mexican marauders. 1t is a disgrace to
our Republic that, strong and wealthy as
as it confesidly is, and handful of savage
great sears" should create such trouble
and disturbance and to be tolerated SO long.
These nuisances, and such an outbreak of
lawless violence, as the recent strikes. ex-
hibit warn US that the military force at the
command of the Government is not such as
it should be. Surely our army and navy
should be sufficient to guard against domes-
tic violence in any form. The navy, too,
has been declared. by Its secretary and its
leading officers to be inefficient both nu-
merical by and in point of strength. It
cannot be denied that any nation ought to
possess safeguard against foreign aggres-
sions, and for that good navy and sea
coast defenses are necessary
The tariff is another matter that needs
readjustment, Mr.. Evarts has it in his mind
as an especial hobby, SO it is likely to be
attended to with little delay
It is still warm and there is little doing
here Preliminary movements are going
quietly on in anticipation of all sorts OF
business for the fall and winter, (which are
expected to be the most lively of any season
here since the war WINNIE.

Ed. PRRss.-If you will inform the four
young men through the PRESS, who sneak
ed into my vineyard and stole grapes Sun
day at II A. NJ. that if they come to me
and promise that they will hereafter keep
off my premises I shall let the past go. If
they do not shall have their names pub
lished in the PRESS. Those fellows have
been in the habit of prowling about farms
near Somerset ever since they were large
enough to pack of MELONS, fruit, and any
thing else their rapatious maws would di-
gest or thieveing finger touch. They go
well clad but if they have no money TO buy
and are longing for grapes and MELONS I
will be glad to give them all they can eat
I do think there are parents in Somerset
who do great wrong by letting their small
boys ramble the country at large on Sun
days. This is about the way the four
young men were broughtup that l left in
the vicinity of John Deans cornfeld to eat
their grrpes in peace after pretty lively
chase of three fourths of mile

Keeping Good Cows.

1t is surprising when we look around the
country to see the large number of poor
cows that are kept for years in the dairies,
and by men from whom better things
should be expected, 1t cost as much if not
more, to keep poor COW than a good one
In no other branch of farm labor is it so es-
sentlal to have good material to work with
as in dairy. A little study of character
istics of good COW will generally enable a
person to tell good COW when he sees her.
have heard men say they bred cows to get
the smallest eaters. But this is fallacy, as
nobody expects to get something for moth
ing The COW (all the other essentials
being right that will assimilate the great
est amount of food will usually prove the
best COW to keep. In feeding of cows there
is a great difference. A healthy COW will
consume many times her weight in food
every year, but how 10 find the one thai
will do SO with least weight will repay the
careful attention of those that keep COWS
If this point is not strictly attended to i
will make vide difference in the margin
of potts. But it is unfortunate to have
poor COW, and tn e shortest and best way t,
get rid of her is to fit her for the butche
as quick as possible. and fill her place will

can be depended on.-County Genhemas

The Fire LnSt NiCHt.

At about 10 O'Clock last night an
alarm of fire was sounded from
O'Neil's Survey, just west of the CEN
trail portion of town. The alarm pro-
ceeded from the Presbyterian par
sonage, adjoining the Presbyterian
Church. The Fire Department was
promptly on hand, and worked, as
usual, with great efficiency, but the
flames had too much of start to ad
NIT the saving of the building, which
was totally consumed. 1t was with
the utmost difficulty that the church
was saved. The fire is supposed to
have originated from defective stove
pipe or the explosion Of lamp. Rev.
MIR. Carothers had been absent but a
few moments only, having stepped
down to the Posto4fice on the
arrival of the mail. Most of his
personal effects, including books, pa
pers, clothing, etc., were destroyed.
Charlie Davis, a member of the Rescue
Hose Company, informs US that he
saved suit of clothes belonging to
Mr.. Carothers. The total loss by the
fire. building and contents, is estimat
ed at Sl,300. In consequence of this
misfortune there will be no service at
the Presby terian Church this morning.

The Miners Union.

Yesterday was the last day of grace
allowed by the Miners Union of Ruby
Hill. The day came and has passed
without clash of any description. In.
deed, it may be said that the situation
is extremely harmonious. The SUI
perintendents and bosses all stand in
with the Union. A committee, ap-
pointed by the Union to wait upon
them, received assurances that none
but Union men would, hereafter, be
given employment under ground.
This settles the whole matter. There
are but few miners on the Hill now
who do not belong. Some of these,
engaged on the night shift, could not
leave their work or they would have
become members the past week. On
Wednesday night 54 new mem bers
were initiated, and on Friday night o.
In order to accommodate non-mem-
bers, on the night shift, the time for
enforcing the recent order of the soci-
ety has been extended to Wednesday,
the 2lst instant. A special meeting is
called for that date to initiate the few
miners remaining outside of the
Union. We are glad that this matter
has passed without disturbance, and
both the officers of the Union and the
SuperintendentS are to be commended
for their moderation and good judg.
ment in the premises.
