General Kennedy at City Han.

On the 10th inst. large meeting was
held at the City Hall in this place, which
was addressed by General Kennedy. Of
Bellefontaine. The General was a SOL
dier in the Union army, and assisted val
liantly in putting down the rebellion
against the government, and is now doing
stalwart work against the same class of
politicians and Southern rebels to pre-
serve the purity of the ballot-box and
the government against destruction by
the advocates of the revolutionary policy
of Southern and Northern State rights
Democrats.
The General is a good speaker, and un-
derstands thoroughly the subjects he dis
cusses. The State rights policy of the
Democracy and the Democratic war upon
our currency, which is universally ad-
mitted to be the best this or any other
country ever had, were most skillfully
handled and highly appreciated by the
audience, which filled our large City
Hail.

An Experiment In Planting.

Last spring one of my neighbors con-
cluded to try an experiment in planting
corn and potatoes, which he conducted
as follows: He prepared the ground in
the usual manner and marked rows each
way, rather closer than usual (about
three feet each way.) Then commenc-
ing on one side of the piece of ground
ian acre or two,) he planted two rows of
Early Rose potatoes, then two rows of
corn, etc., alternating between corn and
potatoes.
There are many advantages in this plan.
The potatoes complete their growth and
may be dug before the corn occupies
ground to any extent.-Also, the orn
has the full benefit of the sun and plenty
of room, while the slight shade which
the potatoes receive from the corn when
they are nearly ripe, is rather beneficial
than injurious.
The potatoes were cultivated and hoed
the same as the corn and were not
hilled. They produced an excellent
crop, much more than the same number
of hills planted in the usual manner,
while the corn yielded eighty bushes of
ears to each acre of ground; but as only
one-half the space should be charged to
the corn, it really produced one hundred
and sixty bushels to each acre occupied
Thus, from each acre of ground he OBJ
tanned eighty bushels of corn of the very
best quality and good crop of potatoes,
the exact amount of which was unable
to learn Exchange

The Boy shepherds Of Nebraska

One pleasant day we rode 20 miles
over the Laramie plains, from Laramie
City to Little Laramie river, where we
found prosperous sheep raiser from
Nebraska, named Edward Farrell. There
were no neighbors for miles around, with
the exception of nephew of Motley,
the historian, who had left his fathers
pleasant home, near Boston, Mass, and
located sheep ranch close by here.
The Farrel's gave us a most hospitable
reception, inasmuch as one of our party
was Mr.. Neston, the Auditor of the state
of Nebraska. Furthermore they had
long been subscribers to the american
AgrtcuItuytst, and the last number lying
on the table was not an unpleasant
reminder of home to one on these far
away plains. We bade them goodbye
late in the afternoon, turned off to the
right of Sheep mountain, and entering
narrow plain between high ranges of
hills,spurred forward our jaded animals,
until the gathering shadows warned us
that we could proceed no further with
Soicly. Az udy uItdh we Spleu u large
flock of sheep close by rude cabin or
dug-out, in which were two boys, sons
of Mr.. Farrell. Here, IL miles or more
from home, they had been tending
flock of 1890 sheep during the entire
season. They shot their game with an
old rife, did their own cooking, and
lived entirely alone with their dogs and
two ponies employed in herding the
sheep. They alternated in watching the
sheep, which were driven into the corral
every night, as a protection against
bears, wolves and other wild animals.
An antelope which one of them shot the
day previous was suspended near the
door of the cabin. There was a good
range here, and the father had in the
spring time sent the sheep and the boys
to possess it. You will be surprised
when tell you that these lads, entrust-
ed with the care of over 1900 sheep, and
living here in this remote, secluded spot,
were only II and 13 years of age. 1t is
astonishing, the early selfreliance
which these frontier children display,
and the skill which, as mere urchins,
they attain in herding. = american
AgricuJturist.

Invisible Patches.

Take gutta percha, half ounce; bi-sul-
phuret carbon, two ounces. In wide
mouth bottle put the two together, and
shake occasionally until the gutta per-
cha is dissolved and it is ready for use.
When the patch is to be applied, scrape
the boot or shoe until the backing is off
and the leather is little rough. On
this dust with fine resin, minutest
quantity serve the patch the same way.
Then spread little of the cement ON
both the shoe and the patch, first bav-
ing shaved the edges of the patch. Ap-
ply like court plaster, and smooth with
a warm spoon or iron, and the shoe will
soon be ready to wear. A few hours
will harden the cement. When proper
ly done the patch will be invisible, and
will last as long as the shoe. This
cement is waterproof. The gutta percha,
shaved to thin slices, is kept in India
rubber stores for the purposes. Ten
cents worth will do the work of fam
lily for a long time. The bi-sulphuret of
carbon is sold by druggists, and will cost
five or ten cents an ounce. The smell,
which is offensive, soon passes off.
