| faction over the plea of guilty in the cor
rupt solicitation charges. Representivc
Wolfe gives the defense credit for good
sense in the course they pursued as it pre-
vents unpleasant disclosures. He cOnsid-
ers the result thus far as a vindication of
those who started the investigation into
the alleged attempt bribery of members
and says it will teach lobbyists that the
legislatures cannot be debauched with i'm
punity.
What it Means.
NJ. p. II. to the Times.
On the whole. however, l am in
clined to think the victors would rather
have fought it out. The conviction of these
defendants was only part of the desire
of their hearts. They wanted trial for
months. They have had vast array of
legal and other talent employed in getting
these cases in good shape. They have ac-
cumulated an enormous quantity of testi-
mony, enough, indeed, to fill several octave
volumes with mere briefs of its purport,
and it is a little discouraging to find that it
cannot be used to show not only the
guilt of these individuals, but to reveal all
the ramifications of the lobby. Still,
although zeal may not be fully graft
fled, nor appetite for the same appeased,
nor publicly curiosity fed upon the rich
diet it craved, there can no complaint Ger
tainly from prosecution which has only
the ends of justice in view. Guilt is con-
fessed, although under protest, and when
sentence shall have been imposed, the law
will be satisfied. The explanation of these
pleas of guilty is that the counsel for the
defendants became satisfied that these four
gentlemen without criminal intent techni-
cally violated the law by log-rolling,"
and became subject to the penalty. The
theory of the prosecuting members of the
Legislature is that they pleaded guilty in
order to escape disclosures seriously COM

Oats and Wheat.

The experiment has been made of SOW
ing oats and wheat together with view
to gain a winter covering for the wheat.
The seed, in the proportion Of one part
of oats to two parts of wheat was sown
in the fall and the oats sprang up and
were killed by the early frosts, the stalks
andleaves lying on the ground all winter,
keeping the snow from blowing away
and preventing the sun from thawing
the frozen ground. In the spring the
dead oats made good top dressing for
the growing wheat. The crop of wheat
secured on the following season was re-
ported to be excellent, while wheat on ad-
joining land, planted in the usual man.

To Tell the Hour.


Seat yourself at table. Attach a
piece of metal lsay shilling) to a
thread. Having placed your elbow on
the table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and fore6nger, and
allow the shilling TO hang In the center
of glass tumbler; the pulse will imme-
diately cause the shilling to vibrate like
q pendulum, and the vibrations will
increase until the shilling strikes the
sides of the glass and suppose the hour
of the experiment be seven or half.past
seven, the pendulum will strike the
glass seven times, and then lose Its mo-
mentum and return to the center; If
you hold the thread a sufficient space of
time, the effect will be repeated, but not
until sufficient space of time has elaps-
ed to convince you that the experiment
is complete. We need not add that the
thread must be held with a steady hand,
otherwise the vibrating motion would be
contracted AT whatever hour of the
day or night the experiment is made,
the coincidence will be the same.

StorInu of Fodder-Corn.

The succulence of green corn-stalks
renders them difficult to dry thoroughly.
To stow away uncured corn-fodder in
stacks or barns, without precautions to
prevent moulding, is unsafe. A good
plan is to shock the bundle in a con-
venient place, covering the top of the
shock with sheaf of straw, and binding
the top tightly to exclude the rain, and
leaving the shock out of doors until
used. A few shocks may be brought in
when needed, and will be found fresh,
green and in the best of order Sweet
corn-fodder, with many small ears and
nubbins on the stalks may be covered
and kept in this manner in the best con-
dition.

Preserves.

Preserving peaches, pears, plums ect.,
the amount of sugar to be used depends
upon the flavor of the fruit. AS gen.
eral rule, however, three-quarters of a
pound.of sugar is sufficient to pound of
fruit. Make your syrup first, by adding
a very little water to the sugar; just
enough to dissolve it without burning {;
let it boil, skimming frequently, till no
more scum rises, before putting in the
fruit. If the fruit is very hard it is best
to steam it partially tender before put
ting it into the syrup. 1t must be cook
ed soft enough to stick a straw through
it., or it will not keep. Always skim
out carefully into your jar, that it may
not break, and then pour on the boiling
syrup. 1t is best to keep preserves air
tight, as it retains the flavor more.

also great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted SO as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of 1t as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Pl0w.
1t is perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and

Storing Hay.

When properly cured, hay keeps the
best in large NOW in which it has been
thoroughly packed. Hay thrown up
loose on a scaffold loses that aroma and
freshness which characterizes that from
the center of large NOW. Hay does
not demand the large spaces between
the outside boards of many barns in
order to preserve 1t. Put the boards
close together and keep out air and rain,
and save the hay, which would other
wise spoil by weather staining. 1t
is better, too.

Of the open winter. he has managed to
nearly fill his two ice houses. containing
nearly twenty thousand tons, and had it

In the meantime, week or ten days

before the two. who had dealing in form

ice on hand was sold 10 the gentleman
from Portsmouth,. Just a. il stood in the
houses. for the sum OF six hundred dol

But the final act in this ice drama closed

Prepare For an Ice House Now.

If there is any farmer without that modern
necessity, an ice house, he ought not to let an-
other season pass without providing one. The
cost of filling each year is triiiing after the house
is once prepared, and the first cost of this is not
great The inericaR .igricHliWisf for December
describes one that held twenty tons of ice, and
the estimated cost is only $50. Their houSe Is
bailt entirely above ground, and is simply
square building II feet each way, and : feet to
the caves. The base is : by : inch timber, laid
either on stone foundation or ON corner posts
set in the ground, and filed up underneath with
stone laid in mortar or banked with earth. \
similar frame answers for plates nj the top, and
they are supported by four corner posts feet
long and by : inches in size, and by inch
studdng near together rs may he, and on one
end is door. The outside is covered with per-
pendicular inch boards, and the cracks battened.
Inch boards laid horizontally on the inside leave
a space of eight inches all around, which Is filled
closely with siwdust. The floor consists of
boards laid on cobble stones. The roof is made
with pitch enough to readily carry of the rain,
and is simply covered with inch boards and bat
tened and an opening left in the middle of the
ridge for ventilation is covered by cap raised
five OF six inches above the opening. When the
house is ready TO fill, five six inches in depth
of straw and Sawdust are placed on the board
floor. and the ice is packed As closely possible
in the centre. lcavinga space of five or six inches
all around the outside. As fast as the ice Is
packed pieces of board can lie placed back of the
door to keep the siwtust there. The ice is pack
ell somewhat above the plates, and is covered
with foot OF sawduSt. This leaves a cubicai
mass OF ice about nine feet each way, with some
thing over a foot of sawdust all around It. The
mass of ice will weigh abont twenty tons, and If
carefully put mp, so as to secure good drainage
at the bottom and perfect ventilation y the top,
with rs little contact with the air at the sides
careful packing will admit, it will keep perfectly
and be a constant source of profit and pleasure.
