A Cast.IrOn Experience.

A few months ago I puf chased a
stove door at quite an extensive
foundry and hardware store. After
l reached home 1 found it would
have to be filed a little before it
would hook. l thought that would
be an easy matter, and took it to
the shop. Bat I might as well
have tried to file flint, it was so
hard. / worked some time, found
! could do nothing, and gave it up
1 then took 1T to one of the pro-
prietors of the foundry, a man who
had been in the business a good
many years, and he worked about
half an hour. using several differ
ent files, with some little effect,
when he said he could do nothing
more with it. To use his own
words it was "harder'n lightning"
Not long after l saw the following
in DIR. Ghase's recipe book: s1'ns1y
"Cast-Iron, the Hardest to Soft

Charcoal has been discovered to
be a sure cure for burns. Lay a
small piece upon the burn and the
pain subsidies immediately. Leave
the charcoal on one hour, and the
wound is healed. as has been DEM
strated on several occasions.
The prosperity of a peach tree
requires that it should be shorten
ed in annually, in the spring. The
operation consists merely IN cut
ting back about half of the smaller,
or two-thirds of the larger limbs
Of the last years growth, beginning
when the tree is two years old, and
continuing it during the life of the
tree. OF course the eye will di-
rect the exact distance to which
the limbs should be cut back, care
being taken to preserve a round,
well,palanced- head. Every culti-
vators should practice this treat
ment, as it contributes both to the
long continued healthiness and
beauty of the tree, and to the
superior size and lusciousness OF
the fruit.
DR.. Waters, of Boston, author OF
the alkaline Treatment for burns,
recently said in an essay, read be-
fore medical. society: "Apply to
the burned surface bi-carhonate OF
soda, in fine powder, if it is a wet
surface; but if it is dry burn use
paste of bi-carbonate of soda
and water, or a strong solution OF
the bi-carbonate of soda in water,
and apply to the burned surface.
This relieves sunburns as well as
burns from hot Goals, melted sui
phur, hot iron and steam. Always
dispose the burned surface so that
the blood can gravitate toward the
heart, if POSSIBLE as otherwise a
continuous pain may be felt, due
to the dilatation of the blood YES
sells from the weight OF tue con-
tanned blood."i y ~ - ~
The time to prune the grape is
in the autumn, after the vine has
gone to rest. If this be not done,
it should be attended to early
enough in the winter SO that the
CIT surfaces will not bleed in the
spring. If this has been neglect
cd, the vine should not be cut until
it has made a considerable new
growth. Then there will be, no
bleeding and judicious trimming
will be beneficial. This trimming,
however, should not be severe, as
it will give a serious check to the
integrity of the plant, and often ii
copses the fruit TO drop, on else
become imperfect. Superfiuous
wood may be taken out, but the
new growth had better be left, al
least beyond the last bunch OF
fruit When the vine is Likely 10
fruit too heavily, the surplus must
be taken out. There must be suf-
ficient foliage left to thoroughly
elaborate the sap of the plant, and
the leaves must be in due proper
ton 10 the weight Of the frait.
| In all fhis Ehoyeyer Hlie or&over
must exercise his own Judgment.
The novice, by little study upon
the principles of vine growing, and
attention TO the requirements OF
special varieties, will soon be able
to arrange system of pruning
and cultivation that will meet the
requirements of the varieties be
cultiyates.

~ We recently spoke of men taking moro
interest in voting and working at elections for
spite than principle. We have just heard of an
other pointed example. There is denomina-
tion called Adventists, having some membership
in this County. They generally hold it to be a
sin to vote or to take part in politics. As most
of them are Republicans, they generally abstain
from voting Ut is well-known fact that Dem.
ocratic members of such societies never think it
sin to vote.) One of them, who has everal
times expressed to US his belief in the utter sim
funess of taking part in politics. although he
used to be strong Republican, was construed.
at the late election to do violence to his con-
science by voting. His reason was, that be held
a grudge against one of the candidates on the
Republican ticket, and wanted to defeat him.
Now, the wonder to US is, that men who become
pure and ethereal that they hold it sin to
cast a vote for the welfare of their country, can
find room in their snless breasts to treasure up
q spite against q neighbor.

II We have received copies of the Biennial
Reports of the State Auditor and Treasurer
They are documents of considerable size, ani
crowded full of valuable statistics. These Re
ports show that the financial condition of Kan
sas is better than almost any other State in the
Union. The bonded debt is comparatively small,
and mostly in Kansas hands, while the bonds stand
so well, that those held by outsiders cannot be
bought except at izrgssprsnium. The school
fund is nearly all invested in safe Kansas school
bonds. So that the State debt is but trifling
and the State permanent funds are mostly in.
vested at home. When we remember that Kan.
sas has always been under Republican control
and Democrats and Reformers have never had a
whack at running the machine, this is doug
well enough for the people to think of.

n few months ago, it was discovered that
Brown County was greatly in need of Demo
cratic paper. One Gordon determined to supply
the want, and Q stock company Clipped in and
purchased press and types. The thing starved
along, until last week, when Gordon seized hil
grip-sack and lit ont, on short notice. Now O
company have taken hold of the Kansan, and
will prolong its feeble existence for brief time
when it will flicker again. 1t is good invest
ment for those who put money into it. And We
dare say number of persons paid in advance
for the paper, who were too poor to take the pa
pers already established there. So it goes. Pa
pers that have shown an ability to live, receive
Q meagre support, while adventurers are encour'
aged to start new papers, and fools are found
to invest their money. By the way, how is that
new Republican paper in Troy getting along
As the editor of the Bulletin seems to be th'
sole depository of the secret, We advise him t.
hurry it up before its prospective manager gets
kicked out of all the boarding houses and sa
looms in town.
