the mistake be corrected? Why should
not the HorlFs jubilation be brought to

cropping around in the darkness of the
Democratic side of the Senate Chamber
for support of nomination on the ground
that it is for the interest of the
Democratic party in New York that
it should be confirmed? True cour-
age is best displayed by correcting
mistakes. Courts of justice grant new
trials, leading to reversal of verdicts,
upon newly-discovered evidence. Surely
Democratic glee over Robertson's nomi-
nation and Democratic solicitude for his
confirmation must be newly-discovered

THE Democrats in the Senate exhibit
their perfect contempt fortheir own party
organization by their course of opposi-
ton to majority rule. They stake the
remnant of their reputation on these few
Offices. Their position is indefensible,
and they do not pretend TO seriously de-
fend it. " But let teverything else go in the
general wreck" they seem to say" con-
sistency, deeency, reputation, hope for
the future, everything, for everybody
knows that the party is a whitedsepulchre

will keep them if we can"

The Democratic Work for Robertson.
Does the President know the fierce de-
light of the New York Democracy over
his nomination of Robertson to the col
lectorship? Has he had time to read the
frantic appeals of the New York HOrM-
the ab!est of the Democratic Journalistic
Democratic Senators to vote for Robert
sons confirmation? We do not believe it
is possible that he can contemplate with
satisfaction such evidences as the follow
ing extracts from leading editorial in
the World of Thursday last afford of the
great interest New York Democrats feel in
the success of Judge Robertson. The
Worlds editor says:
Rev York is normally Democratic State It
voted for Carried and it voted for Cornell simply

lives of Senator Conkling with me trading local

The President Of the United States,
chosen by the Republican party of the
Nation, including the party in New York,
with its thirty-five indispensable electoral
votes, would never have made nomina-
ton for the highest office in his gift out
side Of the Cabinet if he could have fore
seen that that nomination ard its con-
frmation by the Senate would be
regarded by the defeated Democracy as
rendering certain the restoration of the
Empire State into their hands in State
and Natioraal elections. This is a view of
the case which could not have been pre-
sented to the President in any other
manner than as Democratic comment

Level vs.. Hill Culture,

A correspondent of Carman's Rural says he
cannot afford to earth up any plants except
those he wishes to blanch, nor has he done
so for at least thirty years, and he thus refers
to experiments made to test the relative ad-
vantage of level culture and the reverse:
Zone who had, at that time, the reputation
of being the model farmer of his country
and famed for his golden butter, at my sug-
gestion grew about half his corn crop on the
fiat system, while the other half was earthed
up in the usual way. The season proved to
be dry one, and tho difference between the
two was so great as to be observed from the
roadside. l could mention a number of 9TH
er cases where the two methods have been
carefully compared and it is not many
months since q correspondent of western
horticultural journal stated that he and his
hired man made an experiment in fiat culture
at the suggestion of the latter, and his hired
man beat him. l have myself repeatedly
made the experiment, not only with corn,
but with all the field and garden crops usual
ly earthed up, and the result has always been
in favor of fiat culture. The difference in
favor of fiat culture has always been greatest
in dry season, and for obvious reasons
Besides crop is produced at less expense in
this way, and this is very important point,
even if there were no material gain in the
crop. I repeated these experiments yearly
for some five years before began to talk
much about them. A single years trial might
convince the experimenter in such matters,
but would hardly satisfy the farming COM
munity."

A foreign exchange describes the process of
making cheese from potatoes, as it is practiced
in Thuringia and Saxony. After having COL
lected quantity of potatoes of good quality,
giving the preference to large white kind,
they are boiled in caldron, and on becoming
cool are peeled and reduced to pulp, either
by means of CRATER or mortar. To five
pounds of this pulp, which ought to be as
equal as possible, is added one pound of sour
milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together, and the mixture
covered up and allowed to lie for three or
four days, according to the season. At the
end of this time it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets, when the
superhuous moisture escapes. They are then
allowed to dry in the shade, and are placed in
layers in large vessels, where they must re-
main for fifteen days The older the cheeses
are, the more their quality improves. Three
kinds are made The first and most common
is made as detailed above the second, with
four parts of potatoes and two parts of curdled
milk the third, with two parts of potatoes
and four parts of COW or eve milk These
cheeses it is claimed, have this advantage
over other kinds: that they do not engender
worms, and keep fresh for number of years,
provided they are placed in dry situation
and in well-closed vessels.

inmates could but see how impure and poison
Gus their wells are in many cases. There are
thousands of wells that should be called cess
pools. The remedies for these evils are in
the hands of families and communities them
selves, and this is the season in which to
make effective war upon the pestilence, which,
under various names of filth and poison which
foment and tester under the heat, fill homes
with sickness and death. With intelligent
care all can be got rid of but to do it the
work must be done thoroughly, carefully and
intelligently. II it could be undertaken by
neighborhoods, and the filth which has accu-
mulated on the streets could be taken care of
when the out-of-the-way places about the
premises are renovated, and when the vaults,
cesspools and sink-spOuts are placed under
subsection, we count upon a remarkably gem
eral time of health during the coming season.

NOTES.

Truckers from Norfolk county, Virginia,
and vicinity, report great destruction to po-
tato vines from tho Colorado beetle.
Bottle Green Of Georgia is a girl to bt
looked after. She has two silk dresses which
she made herself, having raised the sill
worms, spun the silk, and colored and woven
the fabric with her own hands. Bette is moi
likely to be Green great while.
The army worm and Colorado beetle
have appeared in large numbers in both
Queens and Suffolk counties L. 1. The army
worm is found mostly in spinach and sprout
beds.
Oil will mix with milk, fresh or sour, and
thus may be diluted to any extent.
Maine man has invented scarecrow,
to be placed in corn.fields, which consists of
box feet long and 2 feet square, with hor-
izontal barrels arranged inside. The barrels
are to be loaded with powder, and at regular
intervals exploded by means of clock-work
within the box.
The fact that tho sunfower is preventive
of malaria, just being noted by some of the
newspapers, has long been known and acted
upon by the Southern blacks. The patches
that contained their cabins were always gay
with its gorgeous and full-orbed glories, and
they always insisted that il kept of chills and
fever
Instead of oil, which thickens and makes
whetstones dirty, a mixture of glycerine and
alcohol is used by many. The proportions of
the mixture vary according to the instrument
operated upon. An article with large sur
face-a razor, for instance-sharpens best
with limpid liquid, as three parts of glyce-
rine 10 one of alcohol.
A spiders web is said TO afford an excellent
barometer. An old sportsman claims that
one preserved in his house has proved almost
invariably correct. When rain and wind are
expected, the spider shortens the threads
which suspend the web When reefs are let
out, fine weather may be certain but IL the
spider remains inert, rain will probably fol-
low within short time.
Although the character of the feed makes
great difference in the value of manure, vet
the following will be fair general compare
son between horse and COW manure. Cow
manure contains ten per cent. more water
than horse manure Horse manure contains
about three per cent. of nitrogen, while
COW manure contains about two and a half
per cent Horse manure contains one per
cent. of phosphoric acid, while about one
half of one per cent is contained in COW ma
nure.
Wild horses, or "brumble," as they are
called, are so numerous in parts of Queens
land and New South Wales that they are Of
ten killed simply for the sake of their talow
and hides. In some of the newly settled dis
tricts they swarm in such numbers that the
squatters have to protect their farms against
their inroads. Brumble- stalking is a recog-
nized pastime, the destruction Of wild horses
being as necessary as that OF kangaroos or
rabbits Their hardness and strength are
remarkable, and when trained they are of
considerable value. In one year no less than
1000 wild horses were shot ON single station
in New South Wales.

Fishing for trout, except on few remote
streams, is;now a delusion, if not snare
The angle worm with the concealed hook will,
however, soon float before the noses of the
last living specimens in the rare waters in this
part of the state where few trout still re-
main. An exchange reports the result of a
fishing tour of gentleman from a neighbor-
ing town-one trout about two inches long.
Whether the brave angler felt fully compens-
ated for his journey and the time spent in
preparation for his great achievement is not
stated. Perhaps SO but if he and others
like him could be induced to forego their ps-
catorial indulgences for five years, at the end
of that time the little fish whose life was de-
stroyed might have weighed pound, and
perhaps, when served on the dinner table left
descendants to supply its place. New Hamp-
shire has law authorizing the towns to pro-
hibit the catching of trout for term of years.
Several towns have adopted the law and pro-
hibited the taking of trout within their Dor
ders for the next three years. If law pro-
hibiting trout-hshing for five years could be
enforced. at the end of that time there might
be some rational inducement to 20 fishing.
Without efficient protection of some kind the
sportsmen will seek eagerly for tho life of the
last trout. They have already completely ex-
terminated them from many of the streams

CoPPERAs FOR CoRN.-The chronological
Journal gives the following result of an ex-
pertinent with seed corn; -Four boxes of
earth, alike in quantity and exposure to light
and heat, were planted at the same time with
corn from single ear, and placed recently in
physicians Office. In one box dry corn was
planted; in another, seed previously soaked
in clean warm water in the third, seed had
been soaked in solution of lime water; in
the fourth, seed soaked in chloride of lime
and copperas water, equal parts One week
after, the dry corn had not terminated; the
corn in the second box had just commenced
to sprout that in the third box was Just show
ing the green blades, and that in the fourth
box had grown nearly three inches high. Cop
peras water will prevent birds and worms
from eating the seed, and one pound of dried
copperas will soak enough for twenty acres. "
