The election returns from Ohio indicate that
the democrats have carried that State by
large majority. It was generally believed that
they would carry the State, but the majority
indicated By the latest returns exceeds the most
sappune expectations, anu is the more crafty
ing, as it adds certainty to the belief that the
people OF the couclry have beccm, SO disguised
with radicalism in all its forms from the bloody
shirt followers Of Mc:srs. Blaine and Wade

Hints for the Month.

Be sure to have the ground where you put
onions next spring rich, and to make 1t 80,
cover 1t over with manure now, running it
over in the spring and raking off all the
coarse parts.
Throw your coal ashes around your fruit
trees and under currants and gOoseberrles.
Don't throw away or sell wood ashes, but
spread them around your peach and other
fruit trees.
Carefully examine with sharp instrument,
the peach trees wherever gum is escaping,
and kill the grubs.
If Iot cone before, trim currans, grapes
ana goosebcrrics cut up the cuttings to III
inches long, ard bury below frost for spring
setting.
There is nothing better for hot-beds than
leaves mixed with barn-y ard manure, as they
produce heat Tor so long time. We advise
hauling now from the woods and throwing
them under the horses and cattle.
To grow good roots from cuttings OF
ounces, currants, gooseberies, Towering
shrubs, etc, it is we'll to take OF the cuttings
the first open spell and bury in earth, SO they
will callous over before planting out in the
spring.
Cut scions Of apples, pears and cherries
now, and bury IN sand for gratting.-fru'l

Ewes MILK-At meeting of the North
British branch ofthe Pharmaceutical Society
of Great Britain at Edinburgh on Wednes.
day an interesting paper was read by DR..
Stevenson Macadam on THE Composition of
Ewes Milk" Having observed the extreme
richness of ewes milk as compared with
cows milk, and even goats milk, DR.. Maca-
dam arranged a series of trials as to the COM
position OF ewes milk yielded by animals
fed solely on good natural pasture, and on
the same animals after being fed on extra
diet, including linseed cake, cotton cake and
oats. Taking the total percentage OF solids
by weight in the milk, the average results
were as follows: Town dairy cows milk,
1927; country cows milk, 1871; goats
milk, 1348; ewes milk on natural pasture,
1915, and ewes milk on natural pasture,
with addition OF feeding stutis, 2011; while,
taking the fat in the solids, the town dairy
cows milk gave 22S; the country dairy cows
milk gave 2.SS goats milk, ADJ; ewes
milk on natural pasture, CT, and ewes milk
with extra feeding, S2. The superior rich
ness of ewes milk under any circumstances
Of feeding over cows or goats milk was
thus satisfactorily proved.

Fast Waikin. Horses.

1t has been shown that the production OF
thoroughbred and trotling horses has been
largely in excess Of the death rate that rs a
necessary sequence the stock in the country
is increasing from year TO year, and unless a
foreign demand be created prices must inc
vitably decline. Breeders should therefore
turn their attention mOrc 10 tue production OF
fast walking horses. both for the saddle and
general draught. The business would pay
handsomely, tor the utility and value OF such
horses would soon be properly appreciated,
thus creating a steady demand, which would
not likely be diminished for the next hall
century at least. On the farm a slow.walking
hoI sc does not do half the work that rapid
walker is able Ia accomplish. In towns and
cities where draught horses are used in the
truck, cart, dray, &c, !; IS the same; not halt
the work is performed by the slow walker
who crawls along at snaIl's pace, am, when
drawing load, cannot be galvanized into
rapid motion. Is a traveller, both under sad
die and harness, the slow walker is a nui
sance. No matter what work is engaged in
time and money are lost to his owner every
day that he lives.
