AFTER comforting with the Water Mo.
tor Company, of Newark, N. j., we have
ordered u 30 inch double Motor, with all

THE ELECTION IN THIS COUNTY.
We publish In our election table,
the returns for the county rs far re.
turned by the friends of the FREE
Press. The vote Is by no means a
full one, but larger than last year.
Scratching" on the county ticket,
by both parties, was more general
than ever before known. The State
ticket. was, as q rule, voted straight.
The exception was chiefly the "littie
pastors" with the name Of Edmund
Rice pasted OH the regular Republi.
can ticket. The infamous fraud &C.
counts for any apparent falling of Of
the Pillsbury vote in this county.
We have specimens Of the "little pas.
ter" sent In from the different pre-.
cincts, now In the FREE PRESS office.
This city did nobly on both the State
and county tickets, and made good
Republican record. Rice's majority
Is but 81 In the city, being the small.
est democratic majority for years.
Gilman has a majority of IS in the
city.
As to the county ticket, the Repub-
licans have elected their entire ticket,
with the exception, we deeply regret
to say, of our Sheriff and the two
County Commissioners In the 4th and
5th districts. Swan and Gainor,
democrats. are elected. Mr.. Lamb
carried the city by 43 majority.
Schweitzer is elected by about $50
majority. This result was mainly
effected by the free use of money.
We regret to see that Republicans, in
some localities, sacrificed their votes
to personal prejudices rs umfounded
as they were ungenerous. The cry of
'machine men" did its work. 1t is
an astonishing fact that delegates to
a Republican convention, participant
ing in and approving of its proceed.
ings, should go home and work and
vote against portion of the ticket.
This is political immortality of q gross
character. Such conduct is simply
atrocious, and the towns should mark
all such men and never permit such
persons again 10 represent them III
convention. The scratching" of any
ticket always comes back to plague
the parties engaged in it. In time
they are punished for their treachery.
There is but one thing to do, and that
is to abide faithfully by the ticket
nominated, except where it can be
shown that the nominee is dishonest
or incompetent. This could not he
shown in the case Of Mr.. Lamb.
What we want in the Republican par.
ty In this county is the cohesion of
honor. Let us lay aside all differen.
ces, and for the future live the politi.
cal life Of good faith and perfect honor.

Bone as . Fertilizsr.


For about 30 years bones have been
treated with acids to reduce them 70
soluble condition, or 10 break them down
into lne powder. When thus treated
the residue is known as supeE-phosphate
Of lime. But we now speak Of them in
their natural condition, and refer to meth
ods Of preparing them for use. Every
farmer in the country can save a consid-
able quantity Of bOaes Of home production,
and by little trouble and attention can
collect a large quantity from the dwellers
Of villages in the vicinity. We once gave
notice 10 the boys 10 village Of ., 00v in-
habltants, that we would pay ia cents q
bushcl for al the bones brought to GER
tain vacant LOT; Rs result more than 6O
bushels were found and brought in wheel
barrows and baskets. Two boys who
worked together struck ''find" in an out
Of the way place, and from that and other
places accumulated "A bushels, and were
very rich with their So received for them.
In this way one can often secure at least
as much bone as will return to his land
large purtion, If not the whole, Of the an
nual waste Of phosphates To overcome
the difficulty Of making use Of them IN
raw and unbroken state, the bones may be
burned 80 a slow fire, preferable in a-heap
Of brush-wood, chips, or similar refuse.
BY slow burning ali risk Of waste from
oyer-heating is avoided. When burned
the bones are easily crushed to fine pow
der, and then. contain all the substances
found in raw bones, excepting the nitrogen.
This loss, however, cannot be helped, and
it is better to submit to il than 10 neglect
10 use the bones.
BY grinding raw bones in powerful
mills they may be reduced to fine pow
der, aud in this condition are known as
ground bone, bone dust, bone meal, aud
bone -four, according to the coarseness or
ineness to which they are reduced. Thus
prepared they are articles Of general mer-
chandise, and are kept for sale wherever
bones are to be procured, or the prepared
bone is in demand. The raw, unbroken
bono Is worth in the market about ! cent
pound, when ground il is sold at prices
varying from l ! to 2 cents pound BY the
ton. When the bone is "raw," that is,
in its natural and fresh condition, it con-
tains all its nitrogen; but when steamed to
extract glue, the nitrogen in great part is
removed, and the bone is less valuable.
On account Of the difficulty Of preparing
bone without the requisite machinery, and
the eheapness of the prepared article in
the market, it IS always preferable to pro-
cure the ground bone made by reliable
manufacturers; otherwise the bones eau
be collected and prepared by burning, as
above mentioned. Bones are valuable to
put into the soil under grape vines aud
fruit trees. Clusters Of roots will grow
around and feed upon them for many
years, or until they are entirely used up.
They can be broken with heavy hammers
or even be put in whole peck or half,
bushel scattered about in the soil where
they viii be reached by the roots.---Amer-

Saving by Handuful.


One handful Of hay is not much, nor
for the matter of that are twenty handslul;
the saving or wasting of so much would
neither make nor break man. But with
twenty head of cattle to feed twice or
thrice day the saving Of handful apiece,
every time, would amount to something
before the pastures are green again upon
our frost bitten hills. DO you ever think
Of il? We are not limiting at stintiDg the
cattle. But how many of us allow animals
to waste handful each at every feed, for
want Of a little attention to feeding ar
rangemenss2 How many head Of stock on
our northern farms require a handful
more Of hay at every feed to keep up the
animal heat, than they would require if
their stables had all the cracks stopped,
and let in the cold winds Of winter2 A
handful Of manure is but trifie; yet the
addition Of single handful in a hill Of
corn may make the difference between
long, full ears and stinted nubbins, when
the harvest comes. How many handsful
OF manure are going to waste every day
about our yards and buildiugs2 Could
you not save half bushel day, by being
careful? Aud the liquid manure-is
there not enough lost every day to make
a good many long ears where we shall
probably find only nubbins next fall?
Handsful Of hay; handsful of manure =
these are small matters, say you ? Yet on

competency for old age; another neglects
them as beneath his notice, aud is always

liberal when we will Save the handsful.
