CINCINNATI NOTES.

The outlook, according to telegraphic al
vices of Tuesday afternoon, is that no nom
nation will be made until after many bal
lots, and that in the end the deadlock will
be broken by trotting some new candidate
into the field, and rushing him through.
Montgomery Blair, Mr. Tilden's right
hand man, still predicts the latter's romina
ton, and others think that prolonged ballot
ing may vet lead to the denomination of the
old ticket
The rival Massachusetts delegations settled
their domestic difficulties, each faction taking
one-half OF the State quota of the officers Of
the convention the committee men, etc.
When New York was called for committee
men, there was sensation. The burly form
of John Kelly rose and he protested in Wig.
orous terms against the selection made, shak-
ing his fist cnergctically at the Chair. The
audience chcered or Kissed according TO their
proclvities, and the Sachem of Tammany
went on TO state his grievances in pantomime,
LOT no one coulu near Noru tfat me- mill
The Chair paid no attention TO him.
At the mention of Mr. Tilden's name in
the speech Of the temporary chairman, the
convention broke out in prolonged tumult,
the delegates rising and cheering in the wild
est manner for some minutes, the New York
delegation leading of.
Randall is still in doubt whether he is a
candidate. but his friends are fast settling
the question for him. He is the only candi
date actually attending the convention, elect
ed as delegate when Tilden was still in the
field.
Morrison is scarcely heard of. Hancock
is useful stalking horse for the men who
want to get nearer before firing off their real
choice. As an ingenious Nermonter said
Saturday: IL think we had better go for
Hancock for a while. 1t pleases them at

quiring longer residence as n qualification
for voting and s.ric'er registration, and by
the fact that, if the Presidential and State
elections were held on the same day, the
Kentucky voters would be busy at home
and could not be spared for the invasion OF
Indiana. This decision is therefore counted
upon as a help to the Indiana Democrats
but, on the other hand, its advantages may
be offset by the popular indignation at the
proceeding.
Gen. Ben Harrison is quoted as saying 3:
Il do not See how that decision can fail TO
damage the Democratic party in the coming
election. The amendments were all for the
purpose of securing honest elections and
saving public money, and the people have
declared their approval of them. This de
cision will surely drive all the Independents
and all honest voters TO the Republican
party, and there is no doubt that it will elect
oar ticket The Republicans intend to
make this the issue of the campaign, and as
the smallest majority given any amendment
was $4,000, and as they have strong State
ticket, they are confident of success in Dc
tobcr.
The time is not distant, We trust, when all
the States will hold their elections for State
officers and for President, when President
is to be elected, ON the same day. But that
time has not yet come. Vermont, as hereto
fore, holds her State election in September,
and will lead of this year. as always, with II
sweeping Republican victory. Ohio will
follow on the 9TH of October. with another
Republican triumph. Five days later, In
diana will hold its State election, and the
Republicans Of that State declare that only
immense use of money and unlimited coloni
zing of Democratic voters from Kentucky can
prevent Republican victory. If Indiana
should go Republican in October the cleo
ton of Garfield and Arthur may be set
down as sure.

FARM LIFE.-A writer in Scribaer'S
Magazine asserts that the farmer having
the most sane and natural occupation,
ought to find life pleasant. He alone
strictly speaking has home. How can
a man take root and thrive without land.
He writes his history upon his fields.
How many ties. how many resources he
has; his friendship with his cattle, his
team, his dog, his trees; the satisfaction
in his growing crops, in his improved
fields; his intimacy with nature, with
bird and beast, and with the quickenlng
elementary forces; his corporations with
the clouds, and seasons. heat, wind. rain
and frost. Nothing will take the various
social distempers which the city and arti-
fetal life breed out of man like farming
like direct and loving contact with
the soil. 1t draws out the poison. 1t
humbles him, teaches him patience and
reverence, and restores the proper tone
to his system. Cling to the farm, make
much of it, put yourself into it, bestow
your heart and your brain upon it, so
that it shall SAVIOR of you and radiate
your virtue after your days work is
done.

FODDER CRoPs.-lt has been proved
repeatedly, that one acre of good green
fodder will feed two cows through the
summer. Fodder crops must be put in
early. A mixture of oats and peas is
the best crop for carly cutting, to come
in after the first clover, which follows
the rye. The two sown together will
yield, on one acre, about as much as if
sown separately on two acres. This
may be doubted, but it is true. Tall
growing leafY oats, and tall peas, yield
the most fodder; the "Black-eye Mar
rowfat" pea. grown in Canada as field
crop, is the best for our use, the seed
being free from weevil. For a second
crop. the earliest small Canada Gray"
pea may be sown. The fodder is in the
best condition for cutting when the peas
are in full blossom.

agricultural department.
LIQUID FERTILIzING,

1t is great waste of time and labor
to draw under or into the barn sand or
loan for simply absorbing the liquids.
Liquid manure is the best part of the
wastes of the barn, and the economy of
making another waste, in order to save
this, may we'll be doubted. Sand itself
is very heavy and cannot absorb a great
amount of liquid besides which if it
could. the increased weight would be a
decided objection. while it possesses little
in itself which is of value as fertilizer.
Its mechanical effects might be good
upon land which contained too much
clay or upon lowland meadow, but it
would cost much less to draw it direct
to the place where it is wanted than to
draw it under the barn and then draw
it out again. We were lately in barn
where they were using gravelly loan as
an absorbent. "How much would it alb
sorb?" we asked. But the farmer said
he had meadow on which he was going
to use it. The idea appeared new one
to him to draw it direct to the meadow.
Good loan would absorb large quantity
of liquid, and the loan itself contains
considerable fertilizing matter, but it
would be better to draw even this direct
to the land where it is wanted.
The best mode would be to sink ba-
sin in the barn cellar, and into it drain
the liquid manure. When wanted for
use have hogshead fixed on two wheels,
into which pump the liquid for transpor-
tation. Have faucet in the barrel, and
wooden trough perforated with quarter
inch holes; into this discharge the liquid,
and thus it makes an excellent sprinkler
for grass land. There is no fertilizer
which we can apply to the grass land
that yields such quick returns as this
liquid. Three or four crops year can
be obtained from rye grass, orchard grass
and some others of rank growth by this
means. No fertilizing matter can be
applied to the crops with such prompt
effect as IN liquid form.
In China no manure is applied In a
solid form; it is all lique6ed. Alder
man Mechi has iron pipes laid all over
his farm, and the liquid is forced through
them by powerful steam engine. 1t
would hardly seem advisable to convert
the solid excrements into liquid form,
but we do think the best way to apply
the liquid is in the way which nature
provides it.-Americas Calt5vator.

NOXIOUS WEEDS.

An easy way of eradicating weeds is
desirable to the neat farmer. The fol-
lowing mode was pursued during the
lifetime of an old farmer in clearing
his field of the daisy, yellow dock and
other perennial weeds. He was partic-
ular to SOW the cleanest and best seeds
he could procure. In the Spring he
went through his fields and pastures and
destroyed all the weeds he could discover,
either cutting them below the surface
with spade or pulling and digging
them out and carrying them out of the
field. In this way he kept docks and
thistles out he had 10 Canada thistles.
He kept out the ox-eye daisy by digging
them out and carrying off; if the grass
was forward and the daisies in blossom,
he would carefully pick blossoms and
buds, put them in his pocket and burn
them. When he moved the field he dug
out the roots. By this and similar ways
he kept his fields clear of these and like
pests. He sold considerable hay, and
always obtained little more per ton
than his less particular neighbors.
While many fields near by made quite a
show of these weeds his we're kept clean.
If all who ask how they can destroy
weeds would pursue such a system, they
might be equally successful. They
could not clean farm where the soil
was full of roots and seeds in single
season, probably, but systematic perse-
verance would accomplish it in the end.
