Troy Budget (Ind }, June 20.
Senator Baker and Assemblyman Sisson,
of Washington Courts, and Derrick, of this
county, undoubtedly represent the great
majority of the Republicans Of the districts
which they respectively represent in voting
| for Conkling and with the stalwarts. a
careful view of the districts will convince
any clear-headed and impartial observer
that the great backbone and solid substance
of the Republican column in Rensselaer,
and Washington counties is "by a large
| majority" on the Conkling side.
| St Louis Republican DEM june 49,
The latest development in the 81 pei
| cent. job is that Secretary Window will
use the surplus revenues for the purchase
| of four per cents. at the market price, in
stead of redeeming the three and a-haf PEI
cents. OF course it is a matter OF no i'm
pOrtance that the Government cannot save
more than per cent. by buying four pei
cents, when it could save 81 per cent. by
redeeming the Window inventions That
| this obvious advantage is to be ignored is
renewed evidence that the Administration
has secret pledges itself to do what it can
| to keep the interest at 81 per cent,
although it could not issue the three and
a-half per cents so as to prevent their re-
demption. This whole refunding at 81
per cent. was cdreIully -StuuIeu SCnene 10
prevent refunding at per cent, and de
vised more for the advantage of the bond
holders than of the Government.

The New York Tribune is greatly pleas
ed with the attitude of President Garfield
on the Virginia question. Mr.. Garfield has
said that he took no attitude whatever on
the Virginia question. but that makes no
difference to jealous and loyal organ like
the Tribune, which starts out upon the
idea that it is the duty of the president to
assume an attitude, and of an organ to APP
prove the attitude when assumed. 1t
would be very difficult for the president to
assume an attitude on any question which
| the Tribune would not approve.
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.) June II.
1t becomes palmer every day that the
present New York legislature viii not be
able to fill the senatorial vacancies and
that adjournment without choice and with
out day is inevitable. Such a result is to
be desired by all patriotic men. Cornell
and Depew are no better in any respect
than COnkling and Platt, and the whole
matter is eminently one that the people of
the great state should be allowed to pass
upon.

DO AGRICULTURAL FAIRS
PAY?

Jake Fr;nk seemed to be nettled
by Pastor Spooner's allusion to the
White Oaks, and the charcoal busl
ness, which his son Kier still fol-
lows. He said, Il guess there's
more truth than poetry in what
MI. Spooner says. The White
Oaks looks jest as it used to when
I was a boy, and, for the life o me,
7 don't see emmy chance for I'M
proyement. Ye see, the, country
is rocky, and the sile takes as
materially TO white birches, pitch
pine, and scrub oaks as a duck
does to water. If a fe!ler gets
livin' at all, up there. he's got to
git it selling wood, and charcoal.
Nuthin else pays, and that don't
much. If feller undertakes to
clear up land, it costs more than 1t
comes to, to git the stones out, so
ne can plow, and, if he sows rye, or
plants corn, the crop wont pay,
without manure, and where's your
manure coming from when yere
ten miles from the shore and sea
weed, and haven't got anything but
charcoal or wood to buy it with ?
Ye see, it's uphill business for the
. White Oaks, and it is no use to
talk about the fairs doing the
White Oakers emmy good. Fact is,
they don't go much, and it's just
as well as if they did. And it
amt much better here in Hooker
town. he knew Deacon Smith
and Squire Bunker and them folks
that had money plenty raised bet
ter things than they used to, and
took premiums, and they might
make it pay, but he had sent
things to the fair for several years,
but never got red cent for a pre-
MUM. Ny wife, Polly, gifts pre-
miums on butter, bread, and bed
quilts, sometimes, and comes home
so sot up that there's no ivin' with
her for a week after the fair. Bnt
it don't seem to be for me to git
anything in that line, and I have
pretty much made up my mind
that the fairs are al talk and no
cider. TIMOTHY BUSHER, in Anleri-
can Agrlculturlst for November.

WEEAT, Oar, AND BARLEY SMUT.-
ALI persons who address US upon
the subject of Smut ask for the
remedy or remedies, and this is a
part OF the subject that is very
difficult to treat. The Smut plant is
so small in its beginnings, and also
so rapid in it's growth, that its
presence is not known upon
the grain until it's destructive
work is done. II the smut en-
ters the plant from spores which
cling to, and are sown with,
the grain, it is to be expected that
a thorough cleaning of the grain
would be proper precaution. The
application of any substance that
would kill the spores and not in
jure the grain, naturally suggests
itself. The soaking of the grain in
a solution of fsulphate ofcopper (blue
vitrioD, followed by an application
Of lime, has proved of value. Pre-
cautionary measures Of this nature
are all that seem to be within the
reach of the farmer. If the spores
can be kept from finding their way
to the growing grain the smut will
not appear. With corn the best way
to rid the field of Smut is to pass
through it and gather and burn all
the affected ears and stalks. In
this way the many millions OF
spores are kept from being spread
and continuing the pest. With the
smaller grains, as wheat and oats,
this method, though it is the most
effective, would probably be i'm
practicable. Though the remedy is
not easy Of application, it is a step
forward in the work, to know the
exact nature of the trouble, and
about this there is now no doubt.
Smut is a small parasitic plant
preying apon those Of a higher or
der.-Dr. BYRON D. HALsTED, in
American Agricutturist for October.

HANDY hints FOR THE HousEKEEpER

A perplexed housekeeper wants to know
what she shall do with the tin cans that
from day to day accumulate about the
house-fruit cans, meat cans of all kinds,
cans, cans and thousand cans. Well, if
you keep boarding house, you might
throw them into the street, right in front
of the house, as bait for the homeless
man seeking a clearinghouse. If you
have home, however, you might utilize
the cans in many ways.
You might take the tomato cans, fill
them with soft, rich earth, and plant
pansy seed in them, and by and by whole
handful of all sorts of weeds would come
up. Then you could take the can to the
pottery and have the potter twist a nice
terra Gotta vase about it so as to completely
hide the can, and thus at trifing expense,
not over few dollars, you could utilize
your old tomato can as a garden vase.
Or you could take lobster can, and bore
three holes at equal distances in the sides,
close to the opened end. Then cover the
can as thickly as you need with fine plastic
material used in the manufacture of cheap
statuettes, and employ some good artist to
fashion it in graceful shape and beautiful
designs. Then fasten bright brass chains
in the three holes and hang it in hook in
the porch roof, and you will have hand
some hanging basket that need not cost
you more than S..
If you should break kerosene lamp,
save the foot of it, and with bit of red
flannel and merino and some white crochet
cotton make a pin-cushion of it, stufing
the flannel and merino out in large, IT.
regularly shaped sphere, and with the
crochet cotton work g. lOUe The giVEr on
it. Then set it in the spare room on the
dresser, care being taken to have the cush-
ion fastened on SO loosely that it will cant a
little to one side. Then, when the guest
wakes up in the night and sees that awful
apparition in the moonlight, he will con-
fess all his sins, put on his clothes hind
side foremost, and dropping himself out of
the window, will flee In terror into the
wilderness, and never come back to spoil
your best pillow-shams with his bears oily
