Tho Convention.

To outside appearances the contest at
Chicago is no nearer an end now than
it was when the Convention met en-
Wednesday afternoon, and were it lot
for a test vote that has been taken yes.
terday afternoon, there would be no way
of knowing the feelings Of the Conven-
tion. Cameron, Conkling and Logan
are max ing hard and uphill fight for
the old commander, but o test vote
taken in the Convention last evening
on motion Of Mr.. Sharp, Of Few York,
requesting the Committee on Contested
Seats TO report, showed 3l6 on one
side and 4O6 on the other. The latter
represented the anti-Grant feeling, and
would indicate that whoever may be
the successful nominee it will not be
Grant. The vote just alluded to, how
ever, is no reason that it would be the
same in the balloting Tor candidate,
though Grant wonld poll in the neigh
borhood of 300 votes, and probably
more than any other candidate named
lin opposition. We rather think it a
favorable omen to TIE Republican party
to see committees slow in making tbeil
reports. The situation is critical, and
requires thought and careful manage
mont. The Republican party canno
afford to make o mistake which may
cause them the loss Of the Presidency
Better slow and sure. The ballotipg
for candidate may possibly be com
menced this afternoon, but it looks a
if it might be postponed for q satur
days job.

supply this deficiency, we cause our plants
to flourish. What these deficiencies are we
must learn, for if we supply the wrong ma
terlal we are out of pocket. A farmer must
be something more than a laborer: no man
can think when his physical energies are ex-
iausted. lie must be man OF resources
and rise TO every emergency. If he comply
with nature up to certain measure, her re-
wards are certain. Al certain seasons of
the year we need more horse power. or
could use machinery to advantage. This
could be acquired by cooperation in a
nelghborhood, by using the more expen-
sive machinery in cormon. A most unfor-
tunate thing is that farmers are poor sales
men, though some are exceptions. If they
have consumers for their customers, thew
can, if they furnish goods of first quality.
get their own price. If they sell to mer-
chants, it is alwaps "what will you give and
what must pay for your goods?:' Their
isolation is another good reason for their
cooperation. Does the farmer receive tor
his work the pecuniary success that he
ought to have and the social privileges that
are his due?
This lecture called out good deal of dis
cussion DR.. Sturtevant said that farmers
as class do not look ahead far enough-do
not plan tor the future in their crops, etc.
as they ought, and that many of their fail
ures are for the want of a little forethought.

on the market in the best possible con di-
ton, and in attending to the details.

experiment with artichokes as hog feed that
we have any knowledge of in Montana, and
we think it worthy of attention, for if it is
as profitable as estimated by Mr.. Latimer
the discovery is valuable. Every Montana
farmer can produce his own bacon by the
cultivation of less than four acres of land
and hog raising can be made as profitable
as raising sheep, horses or cattle.

FARMING AS A BUSINESS

AT the meeting of the Connecticut Board
OF Agriculture some time since, j. NJ. Hub
bard, practical farmer, expressed himself
in the following truthful manner on farm
ing as Il business:
lie said that there is in all farming a need
OF more knowledge and greater skill. We
need thoroughly TO understand and qualify
for our work. Whether human life is sus-
tanned, there the processes of agriculture
are going on. 1t may well be compared to
a successful manufacturing enterprise. The
farmer who wishes to be successful must
select the particular branch OF industry
adapted to his locality
A farmer ought to make use of all the
means of knowledge within his reach per-
tanning to his business. The faamer is no
longer excluded from the knowledge of the
mysteries of his business. Chemistry is the
key which has unlocked the door, and he
should know enough of it to appreciate its
worth. We learn by it that from the mate
rial drawn from air, earth and water. all
plants grow. Of the list of elements sup-
piled by the soil, a few are deficient; if we

Deepspading or plowing, and working in

There is great difference in practice about
the distance apart the plants are set. For
culture on large scale by means of the

young man, as farm hand, working for
wages. lie has inherited nothing, and has
been engaged in no business except farming

INFLUENCE OF ELECTRICITY ON VEG.
ETATION

some months ago, says La Nature. M
Grandeau, director of the agricultural sta
lion at Nancy, announced that experiment,
maze upon Indian corn and tobacco proved
that atmospheric electricity exercises very
favorable influence upon vegetation. M
Maudin, director of the National Botanical
garden at Antilles, to-day makes known
some facts which go to prove directly the
opposite. lie experimental on other plants.
and in another climate ;sand, as will be seen,
he draws the conclusion that NJ. Grandeau,s
lnterences were to general. According to
MIN, atmospheric electricity, like all other
agents of vegetation, plays a useful part.

by another force. The experiment was
made in the following manner:
In kitchen garden bed we'll exposed to

Two cotton seeds. One of the beds was left
to itself, and the other was covered with an
iron cage, the four uprights of which ter
minated in points to attract all the atmos-
pheric electricity. For fortnight the two
cultures appeared to be alike; but at the
end of this period, a difference was observed
between them. and the difference, which
was to the advantage of the cage, kept in
creasing more and. more. The bean plants

John Devenney, in Gosdel swamp, and with

where alfalfa has been cut for hay as many
as seven times during one year, but never

A FEW HINTS and suggestions may be an
pl1cable at this season on the subject of ON
farmers producing their own pork and ba
can. few hogs about farm are but little
trouble compared with their worth when
1attened and porked. The time spent in at
tending to hogs is little felt, and they 90 a
great ways toward supporting the table
through the year. The reason assigned bv
many farmers for not undertaking to raise
more hogs is that they are troublesome to
Keep on the farm, but there is scarcely =
ranchman i'll the whole country but who
can easily set aside ten or twelve acres of
meadow land, all that would be needed as
pasture for fifteen or twenty hogs. This
can, with little expense, be fenced with
what is termed chunk" fence, which is
easily made and secure. The grass and
roots they can get will be so nearly sufficient
10 keep them through the summer that thew
will require but little other feed until along
in July Or August, when to put them in
good tx for butcherihg early in December
the iced should be increased. A few acres
OF peas is sufficient for this. When the
fields are harvested hogs will do well for
several weeks cleaning the stubblc, after
which time it is best to contine them and
iced more. scalded barley, rye and wheat
make excellent feed for hogs. They are
Strong food and when the hogs are given &c
much as they can eat every day, they will
1atten quickly, but we believe peas are the
cheapest feed for hogs. They need no cul
uvalon except turning on plenty of water.
For summer feed, the hogs may be turned
INTO the pea field as soon as tile peas BEGIN
10 harden. For winter feeding the meas
must be harvested. The best pea for this
purpose, we think, is a small variety known
as the Canadian dwarf pea grown by a few
farmers in Montana. 1t natures early. and
ahother advantage, particularly for winter
leedlng, is that the vines are short and
therefore more easily gathered than the
larger varieties. Instead of moving them,
al mat is necessary is to rake into
"lnd-rows and haul them to the stack-yard.
Inns can be best done with an old-fashioned
wooden revolving rake. The peas grow
uhaer very little covering, and when dry
can be taken up easily with the rake. The
most fault that can be found with them is
that they shatter badly, but after harvest
'iie hogs may be turned in to clean up what
silatter, or if not there will be enough seed
oii the ground for crop the following year. |
lhls plan of cultivating and harvesting
'ile dwarf pea was given us by Mr.. C. M.
