Movement.

BIO MEADOWS, Jan. II. +
Ed. SILVER STATE:--Anothet special
meeting of the Big Meadows Labor and
anti.ChiDese organization was held on
the 18th instant and was largely attend
ed. At least two thirds of the entire
male population of the Meadows were
present. The meeting was held chiefly
for the purpose of electing officers. and
the following gentlemen were chosen
j, o. Kane, ChairmaD; John Bergman,
Vice Chairman. and William Silver
wood. Secretary. Addresses were made
by several gentlemen on
THE LEAD ING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY.
They did not confne themselves to the
Chinese question, but discussed freely
every question affecting the interests of
the laboring aud. producing classes.
They hoped the laboring men of Calf
fornis and all over the country would
be guided by their better Judgment and
not resort to violence. but await pa
tiently the time when they can exercise
the power which the ballot affords
them, aud which. if rightly and wisely
used, can obtain for them as much re-.
dress as force could effect. 1t can rid
them of the Chinese evil, and relieve
them of other evils eqlally as bad.

Government in dealing with the fnan-

ADVICE TO FARMER"

Your correspondent. Farmer, don I
like the new movement now on foot
among the masses. lest it proves detr.
mental to the success Of the Democratic
party at the next election. The thought
of 1t makes the blood boil 10 his
veins" Perhaps his blood has been
too often heated by the warmth of party
prejudice; let him divest himself of
that, and the hlighting winds of legis
lative dishonesty aud corruption that
blow keeDly over the land will chill
him almost to the freezing point. If
the Democratic party il true to the
principles of Democracy If they are
true to the Interests of the laboriug
classes, this movement will insure them
success; bat if they arc not true. then
1t will. and it ought to. insure them
certain aud lasting defeat. The aim OF
this movement is the reformation of
the true Democratic party and the true
Republican party into true national
party. II is no longer a question be.
tween Democracy and Republicanism;
these are Synonymous; but the two
great opposing principles of to day are
DEMOCRACY AND ARIsToCRAcY;
The one deadly aud irreconcilable
enemy of the other. 1t is a question
now between the masses of both the
Democratic ana the Republican par
ties on the one hand. and the
moneyed classes on the other--be-
tween justice aud robbery. The ad-
herents' OF both the old parties may
consistently join hands like brothers,

Manure.

1t has been rightly said that the
manure heap Is the farmers bank.
From it, though indirectly, are
derived al his profits and the
larger the heap IS the greater Will
his profits be. Therefort how
necessary it is that proper time and
attention be given 1T, SO that it be
all saved, and rightly applied to
the soil. There are many ways by
which we can increase Il stock Of
it. First IN importance is the hog
yard. This should be kept supplied
with muck. soil, brakes or straw,
to retain all the liquid as well as
add to the solid portion by decom-
| position and thus double the usual
amount Of this most valuable ma
nule. Second, the cow stable.
This, too, should be supplied with
a sufficient quantity Of leaves or
muck. or for want of these, saw
dust or straw cut fine to absorb the
juices. thus increasing the quantity
and also the quality. Then the
| morse stable uelldllu Jllc same at
tention IN saving its liquid waste.
There is also the compost heap
where all refuse material, such as
the cleanings from the cellar, de-
cayed vegetables, weeds, etc.,
gathered before going to seed,
should be piled and the slops from
the house poured ver it. This pile
can be enlarged by adding muck,
soil. etc., and IN this way Il valua.

A Good LIQUID Manure.

\ Baltimore noris. sends the
Boston Jo1pnai 9f CH,mi>t,y the
formula for a liquid manure for
flowers. The materials may be had
ut amy blacksmith shop
Put II bushel of the clippings
from horses hoofs into Il barrel and
fill it up with water. Let 1T stand
for Il week, when 1t IS ready for use.
Apply it with q watering pot. All
bedding plants can be watered with
this liquid every other day, ii they
are not pot-bound repotted plants
should be Watered once Il week until
they have plenty Of working roots
to take up the manure. 1t viii also
be found excellent f,r hard-Wooded
plants If used o1ce or twice a week.
Two or three eks after the plants
have been watercd with the manure,
the foliage generally changes from
a green TO a golden yellow. moving
from the stem down to Il point OF
the leaf, which, however, lasts ~nly
for a few weeks, when it changes to
a dark glossy green. Plants under
thls watering grow very strong; the
flowers are very large and bright in
color. Plants thus treated can lie
kert in very small pots for a long
time without being transplanted.
This is es eclally advantageous to
the market gardner, who can sell
his plants IN three four inch pots.
while he would have to shift them
into fine and SIX inch if he used
rich soil alone. Flowers watered
with this liquid manure Will bring
twenty-five per cent. more than
otherwise; besides being in small
pots they are lighter, can he packed
closer, and are easier to be handled.
