On Thursday afternoon news was re-
ceived that Hancock, of Pa, had been
nominated for President and Engllsh of
Indiana Vice President. The nomina-
tions were received with great demon
stration. Flags were suspend d from the
Coulbonrn Hotel and from the residence
of Capt. Bixby and other private build
ings. Thirteen salutes were fired from
The cannon in honor of the nominations
and great enthusiasm prevailed. During
the evening large number of our citizens
were invited and partook of the hospitali-
ties rendered by the staunch and noble
hearted Democrat Capt. NJ. Coulbourn
and Mr.. ii. Pennington the accommodate
ing and atlable proprietor of the Coul-
bourn House. Reil eshmints were served
in handsome style, and the evening was
spent in social manner.

THE CLOUDS FOR HANCOCK

Early last evening, as the clouds drift
ed in the sky, they made as usual, some
very fantastic shapes. But one cloud
was particularly noticeable. AS it sailed
along 1t struck against a great bank of
white clouds in the western horizon, and
there formed itself into a complete
head and bust of the next President,
Gen. Hancock. The broad shoulders,
the noble brow and the expression of the
face and all were as plain and lifelike as
If upon canvas.

ABOUT CITY FINANCES.

Our unreliable and foolish editor of
the Daily Republican, who permits such
editorials to appear in print as the one In
Saturdays issue, Instead of trying to
discourage good citizens about the tax
rate, should have paid his city tax tor
last year sooner than he did, as he came
near losing his vote at the school elec
tion last April. He should also not for
get as he goes along that the Democratic
majority IN City Council of 1879 had to
take upon themselves the responsibility
of paying nearly $4,000 to the Whining
ton Coal Gas Company, which was left
unpaid by Republican Council in 1873,
and besides they had to make arrange
ments and pay some $12, 900 of money
that had been raised for the Sch ool
Board when MIR. Pickles WAS chairman
Of the Finance Committee, but which
had been misappropriated. These are
only two samples of bow the city was
ruled by Republicans. lf it should be
necessary we mighJ take time to furnish
more to eniighren the dumb man, suct
as the paving of Fourth street, "Bik err,
Bull, and many other things.

1t was bad enough to have been
cheated out of the presidency to
which he was fairly elected in 1876,

no stock in denouncing him. He

4 HARMLESS ADULTERATION.-T ma
pie sugar which is to be found in the mar
kets at the present season comes, or pur-
ports to come, from Vermont and southern
Ohio, and q great deal of it undoubtedly
does come from that great maple sugar
state, sugar maple being one of the com
monest trees in the forests of Ohio. A
much greater proportion, however, is last
years sugar made over, and even the fresh
sugar is, as n rule, only favored with ma.
pie syrup. Fortunately the adulteration
does not make the sugar any the less
wholesome, being accomplished by the use
of sugar made from corn, perfectly
good, pure article. though not fitted for
general use. 1t is excessively sweet, pos
itively sickening when not highly favored
and somewhat diluted. That which is
found in our markets has the appearance
of tallow, and can be whitfield with a
knife; it never gets dry, and, consequent
", never crystallzes as the sugar made
from the cane does. For this very reason
it is in great favor and demand by all con-
PETITIONERS, its moist, creamy qualities be-
ing just what they desire for their finer
varieties of bon bons. There is no longer
occasion LOT anxiety us W WllitL olc - c'tl-
ing in the way Of adulterated sugar from
the confectioners. 1t is in 90 cases out Of
100 the cheap maize sugar, the cheap
est sugar known to commerce, for which
we are paying so cents and 81 pound in
the shape of French candies Maple sugar
is cheap in the markets, and is very de-
cent kind of sugar after all, notwithstand
ing the misunderstood Planter.
As to the adulteration of maple sugar
there is q good deal said by city papers
but so far as having any foundation in
truth, we don't believe it to be enough tt
be considered. First, there is positively
no adulteration of maple sugar in the
country as it is manufactured, and second
the bulk of it goes direct to customers
who are either consumers or small deal
ers, who would have neither opportunit,
for adultertion or receive it in such guam
titles as to pay the trouble at the prices
We believe maple sugar us sold is yer
generally pure.

Mulching Trees.

EDITOR OF THE AMERICAN CULTIYAToR:
Knowing that you are interested in what
ever tends to the success of the farmer,
give YOU herein a fact that came under my
own observation some years ago. have
never seen it repeated in any Instance,
which is a source of wonder, as 1t proved
to be so successful. Upon a dry and rocky
hillside, in the town of Shrewsbury, Mass,
stood an orchard. The trees were old and
had not given good crop OF apples Tor
several years. The owner having large
quantity of swale hay drew 1t from the
field and placed it around the trees to the
depth of twelve inches, covering the whole
ground occupied by the trees, emitting
every alternate row. This was done IN
the month of July. The next year, prov
ing to be good corn bearing year, was
led by curiosity to examine this orchard to
see the result, and to my surprise, every
tree, where the mulch was applied, was
loaded with large and fair apples, while
the trees had made great growth OF
wood, and the leaves had beautiful green
and spring like appearance, while those
without the mulch bore no fruit at all,
The varieties were the same. Can any one
else show like result from the use oil
mulchP
We did not suppose " mulching" apple
trees to be at all uncommon; we have
practiced it several years with good re-
suits, and Mr.. Mckenzie OF Woodstock,
one of the most successful orchardi'ts in
his section, mulches, we think, every year
One year we visited his orchards, which
we're loaded with such crop of apples as
we have never seen elsewhere, and mulch
ing was an important cause among Others
of his general success. Other things than
mulching are necessary for good orchard
and good crops of apples, but in goot
orchard mulching will pay we'll

SPRING MANAGEMENT OF BEEs.-In the
first place, keep the hives clean of filth and
dead bees, and see that they have honey
enough to carry them through; if not,
feed from the inside Of the hive and
at night if warm; ifcold, take them in
where there is sufficient warmth for them
to take up the honey from feeders. Close
the entrances to all hives in early spring
so that not more than two bees can get
out or in at time; if weak, leave room
for only one TO pass; it will prevent rob
bling, and the loss of weak swarms. AS
long as the bees will use it, give rye meal
in covers or pans not far from hives out
side; it will be u great help to promote
early brood. 1t is astonishing how rapid
ly they will use the meal in early spring,
before the blossoms get open, but they
will not use it after willow and maple
appear.
Keep the entrances to the boxes closed,
to keep up warmth and protect the young
brood. Do not neglect them now, as some
of the weak stocks will make perhaps, the
most profitable swarms. If the spring is
cold and backward, it is better to keep
weak swarms in the cellar; they will
consume less honey. and dwindle less Than
outdoors; they can be fed from tumblers
filled with feed, and covered with thin
muslin, placed bottom inward over the
entrance. They feed from il in his wnv

CARE OF SuEEP.-Take good care of the
Young lambs. When you find one just
dropped, weak and cold, do not stand
upon your dignity and think it beneath
your notice and so let it die. Have it
taken to warm room. give 1t II bath OF
warm water about us warm as you would
have for your own feet, and then rub ii dry
with warm, dry cloths; give two or three
spoonsfu Of warm milk, and in an hours
time You will have Il strong, vigorous
lamb which will follow its mother any
where.
If your sheep have catarrh in the head,
do not torture them by boring holes in the
nostrils, or injecting strong drugs as
recommended by some. The remedy is
simple: Take equal parts of pulvcrized
rosn. flour Of sulphur and salt. Covel
the bottom of their feed troughs with it;
the sticky nature Of the rosin combined
with the moisture Of the salt makes the
sulphur adhere to the noses, and the fumes
of the sulphur cure the catarrh While
claim this us my own specific for cht'rrh,

FARM FALLACIEs. Few men,says Prof.
Sturtevant, in Land and Home, are gifted
with that mprehensiveness that they
can see the whole life of the farm from
season to season, spread out as on chart
and the whole effect of each course pro.
cedure. Hence fallacies are common. and
receive so much countenance from people
more familiar with theory than practice.
that they become established on pedestals
difficult to overturn. Such is the idea of
cooking food for stock; another is the
belief that cutting food for cattle influences
the digestibilitY; a still greater lies in the
question of deep or shallow p flowing, be-
cause based on the reasonieg that deep OF
shallow blowing covers the object and not
the effect which it is desired 10 produce
another expensive fallacy is that muck
and dirt are manure, and that cord oil
this stuff mixed with cord of manure
will produce two cords of manure.

In our agricultural columns will be
found the first of series of articles from
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College," which we trust
will receive the closest attention of our
farmer readers, AS it represents nearly all
the net results to the cause of agriculture
of an annual income of about eight thou
sand dollars from the agricultural fund Of
this state, and hence ought to be very val
liable. We are happy to aid in spreading
the information, and in spreading the fact
that Vermont has a state agricultural col
lege, which we fear too many are extreme
ly liable to forget.-Middlebury Register.
We call that rather a neat comment on
publishing Prof. Atwater's article which
President Buckham furnished them for
the farmers who make so large portion
Of their readers. We should think Presi
dent Buckham would feel encouraged tc
do so some more. Besides, there's another
