ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
A Prolonged and Excited Session
The Grant Men VictOriOus---A Pro-
test Entercd--NOmin atiOnS.

The Illinois Republican convention at
Springfield adjourned ON the Dist inst.
after a stormy session of over three DAYS
an event unprecedented in the history
of state conventions. The Blaine and
Grant parties contested every inch and
resorted to every expedient to consume
time, but gradually the convention
reached the questions ut issue and de-
cided them one after another, at
all times by large majorities in
favor of the Grant faction. The Cook
county quarrel was settled by admitting
56 anti-Grant delegates and SO Grant
men. The test question in the shape of
a resolution that Gen. Grant is the first
choice of the state for the office Of presi-
dent of the United States, was met by one
from the Blaine Washburne coalition de-
claring the latter rs the favorite son, but
after an animated discussion the substi-
tute was lost, and the original resolution
carried by 70 lnajority-3S6 to
307 A committee appointed to
select the 3S district delegates
then reported the list, whereupon reso-
luton was put and carried declaring U.
s. Grant as the choice of the state of Ill
inois and instructing the delegation-42
In nIlmber-to vote as unit for him. A
protest was read from the delegates of
the Seventeenth congressional district
against the appointment or selection by
the convention Of any delegates other
than those selected by them at the dis
trict convention held at Springfield May
10Th, when the Sd, 4th, 9th, 18th, 10th,
5th, End and 9th districts, by their dele
gates, united in the protest. A resolu-
ton declaring that the Republicans of
Illinois in convention assembled resolve
to support the nominees of the conven-
ton for state officers and the nominees
of the Chicago convention, was adopted
as the platform.
The following are the nominations for
state officers:
tor uoUenor-S. NJ. Cullom, OF Sangamon.
For. Lieutenant GOUe,nor-John Nj. Hamilton,
of Mclean.
For Secretary Of Stote-Henry s. Dement,, of
Lee.
For Auciitor Of Public Accomats-Charles P.
Swlgart.
For Attorney Ge,,eral-C Charles Mccartney, of
Wayne.
The several congressional districts
which joined in the protest denying the
right of the state convention to throw
out the anti-Grant delegates, will carry
their grievances before the national gath
ering at Chicago.

A CORRESPONDENT writes that the spl-
der which hanged a mouse recently at
Fort Wayne did not set the fashion. a
similar performance was witnessed
many years ago in Albion A young
garter snake, six or seven inches long,
was discovered under an old counter,
partially suspended by a spiders web.
In a few hours it was noticed that the
snake was being gradually lifted from
the floor. Whenever he struggled the
spider could be seen darling about from
line to line, evidently drawing up the
slack. The operation continued until
the body of the snake was dangling IN the
air.

farm manures have the advantage OF being
in general more lasting in their effects"
Potatoes seem to be almost as independent
of nitrogen in fertilizers as the leguminous
crops Glover, beans, peas). Any excess OF
nitrogen In manure applied to potatoes en-
courages rot and leads to scabbiness and
impaired table quality. Farmers who use
only a moderate dressing of dung, and APP
ply ashes or superpbosphates in the hill,
usually have good crops of sound and good
potatoes. We say ashes or superphosphates,
while perhaps others would replace the or ="
with and" Sometimes, in truth, both these
fertilizers are of use together on potatoes;
but it must be remembered that good hard
wood ashes supply not only potash but lime
and phosphoric acid; while the sulphate OF
lime in commercial phosphates is a powerful
developer of potash in soils where potash ex-
lists, but lacks soubility. Only those soils,
therefore, in which there is no potash to be
got by the action of the plaster need ashes
,oah superphosphates. But, as rule, farmers
are too stiugy with phosphates. The one
barrel per acre so commonly used with a
light dressing of stable manure is far too
little. If you want a full crop, use the full
value in artificial manure that would be re-
quired to make up the stable manure to
full dressing No artificial manure in the
market is worth more than the same moneys
worth of good dung. Most of them are
worth less. Professor Atwater Thinks and
the experiments seem to show, that the best
results from artificial fertilizers come from
applying them broadcast. This is true Gas
it is indeed of manure) only when they are
used literally, or at least sufficiently. A
scanty application of either does best in the
hill or drill. But that is poor farming and
bad policy at the best.

Syrup from Sanford Corn.

SOUTH WOODBURY., April 10, 1880.
Mr.. Editor In compliance with re-
quest, will here give some facts in relation
to my attempts at sugar-making from the
Sanford corn. cut some two hundred or
over of stalks, of average size, from my
field and spread them out on the grass to
wilt and tougher, and they lay some two
or three days; for, we found on previous
trial that stalks brought fresh and crisp
from the field broke and crumbled so much
of the stalk and pith as to give the juice
quite roily and milky appearance. From
these we got some two pailfuls of very
sweet sap, obtained by running them through
between the feed rollers of large planning
machine. An attempt was made to strain
it before boiling, but with poor success, ex-
cept with very coarse strainer. But on
warming it up to the boiling point, thick
scum formed which was easily removed,
and left it quite clear. 1t was then boiled
down and made some three or four quarts
of quite eatable syrup, but it was not free
from that sickish flavor peculiar to the corn
stalk. However, the most of it was eaten,
though some of my family refused it al
together. But my faith in it was so strong
that contemplated further and more ex-
tensive trial, but it was delayed too long, as
we soon had sharp frost which caused the
sap to sour in the stalks. | will say in con-
clusion, that | believe there is an abundance
of sugar in many kinds of cornstalks, and
sugarmaking from them, in connection with
the feeding of cattle from the refuse, could
be made profitable if by some simple and
cheap process it can be separated from the
other chemical ingredients. am looking
with some anxiety for more light on the
subject from Professor Golfers experiments
at Washington. | will further say that con-
the coming summer, but with full deter
mination to cut and stock it in early Sep
TENDER, so as to get it pretty well cured be-
fore the hard frosts, as freezing while green,
| believe, destroys more than half its value
for feeding purposes and entirely for sugar
making, unless it is worked Immediately, or
at any rate before it sours. j. w. Town.
NOTE BY THE EDIroR.-Judging by the
experiments of Professor Collier, it would
not be wise to leave the stalks designed for
sugar-making more than very few days in
stocks. Perhaps they might be allowed a
day or two to wilt and become less brittle,
without much loss. We think that clarity
ing with milk of lime, as directed by Pro-
fessor Collier, will take out the "sckish
taste" of the corn-stalk from the syrup.
