William J.. Ewing, Republican,

ties ranging from $4,000 to 10000,
and the six Republican members OF
the upper house Of the municipal
assembly receive majorities of from
1890 to 5000. This is not claimed
as straight Republican victory, bu-
It is. the result of the bitter content
ton among the Democrats and
most determined opposition to Mr..

he was nominated by a large faction
of that party.

BEFORE THE SPRING.

The WIND has blown the last years leaves
From off the primrose head
The lilac-shoot its prison cleayes
The elm-tree tips are read.
And all about, though trees are bare,
And covert none to sing,
The blaekbird heralds everywhere
The coming Of the spring
Sing on, sweet bird, for you have faith,
To trust all darkness is not death
The spring has signs To show her nigh,
And bid the world prepare
Has Joy no herald, or must
Look for no future fair?
Ny heart seems barren as world
Where spring comes neyermore;
No leaf shows from its sheath ancurlej
No birds their rapture pour.
Yet, faithless heart, believing be-
The Spring mus come again for thee =

GREEN PEAS.

To raise green peas in dorfection re-
quires good garden lond; dry sandy
loan win bring them earliest, but in
time Of drought the quality of the crop
upon such land will be very inferior
still, since earlinesc is very desirable,
il usually pays to risk small piece Of
early peas upon poor sandy soil and 10
depend upon better land for the latter
crop. 1t should also be observed that
that the hardy varieties such as Dan
O'Rourkc and black-eycd Marrow, will
thrive on much poorer soil than the
swccter green sorts, such as the Advan-
Ger and the Champion of England.
which require rather rich land TO pro-
duce them in perfection. Peas, being
perfectly hardy may be sowD as soon Us
the land will work mellow; sometimes
this can be done in March but usually
about April 10. The tender green sort
should not however be sown to carly,
for the seeds will sometimes fail in cold
wet weather. II is usual to SOW the
peas by hand, in rows three feet apart
using about six pecks per acre Of the
dwarf sorts. The longer vines Of the
Champion and Marrow require rows
about four feet apart and only about .
bushcl OF seed per acre. The manure
for peas is usually covered with rake
or hoe about half an inch deer. The
manure should be as fine Is possible to
ut it.-Nesc England FARMER.

EARLY LETTUCE.

A correspondent of Nick's Magazine
says: There are very few people not
fond Of lettuce in the early spring.
Having removed from the city where
early lettuce could be bought at the
markets I was much at a loss for this
refreshing said plant-at least until
quite warm weather. Knowing it to
be quite hardy last autumn / scwcd
some seed in warm dry spot and in a
week or two the plants were up. Be-
fore hard frost placed around my lit
tic patch some bOards-tO be particular
an old frame-and over this some loose
boards covering about two thirds of
the space, so that there was about one
third uncovered for light and air. 1t
was where it got the best of the sun
sloping south east and it was surprise
to find how early l had Young lettuce
from this rude bed. OF course, this
will be Of no benefit 10 those who have
hot beda, and other conveniences for
forcing vegetables but to very many OF
your readers 1 think the knowledge
may be useful.

SETTING HENS.

For early chickens hens should be set
as early in March as possible. One of the
best foundations for nest is piece of
sod, the under side up. The nest should
10, be in deep box or barrel SO that
the hen will have to jump down and in
that way break her eggs. 1t is very
important to keep food and water near
the nest, SO that the hen will not stay
long off the nest SO that the nest to allow
the eggs to get chilled. A box of dry
sifted ashes should be provided for the
hens 10 roll and dust themselves in.
Tobacco stems or sulphur put in the
nest is safegard against lice. In cold
weather not more thah thirteen eggs
set under common sized hen. Great
care should be taken not 10 set eggs that
have got chilled. Hens with scally legs
should never be set for il has been dis
covered that the scale is caused by an
insect and is taken from the hen by the
chickens. Two or three applications of
kerosene oil will remove the trouble.

The champion bee-kcepcr lives, very
appropriately, in Becton, CAL, and
bears the not unsamilar name ofJones.
In the year 1879, from 800 colonies OF
bees, he obtained l5,000pounds of hon
ey and in 1880, from 400 colonies, he
obtained 10000 pounds worth $1,000,
and the latter was bad year for honey.
During the last year he obtained GOO
new colonies from the 400 and common
ccs 1881 with 1000 colonies Of bees, val
ued at $1,000 independent of the cost
of the hives. Mr.. Jones says he will
clear at least $4,000 this year unless
some unforeseen accident occurs.

A neighbor of mine informed me that
he had lost most valuable horse by a
common accident. A knowledge of n
simple remedy would have prevented
this loss. The horse trod upon nail.
Lamencss followed its extraction, and
lockjaw supervened, resulting in death.
An unfailing remedy in such cases is
muriatic acid. If, when nail is with
drawn, the foot is turned up and some
muriatic acid poured into the wound.
neither lamcness nor lockjaw need be
feared. Why the iron should have the
effect it has, and the rationale of this
remedy, am unable TO explain; but of
the certainty of the counteraction Of
of disease by this perfectly safe applica-
ton, I am well convinced.-Rurdt

BEST METHOD OF PRESERVING POSTS.


Referring to the well-known method
of preserving post and poles which are
partly imbedded in the earth, by char
ring and coating with tar, the Scieafi-
fc american says these methods arc on
ly elective when both are applied.
should the poles only be charred, with
out the subsequent treatment Of tar,
the charred formation on the surface
would only act as an absorbcr Of the
moisture and if anything hasten the de-
cay. BY applying a coating of tar ac-
cording TO the same authority the tar
would only form casing about the
wood, nor could it penetrate to the
depth which the absorbing properties of
the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that is exposed TO the action
of water or let into the ground should
first be charrcd, and then, before it is
entirely cooled, be treated with tar IN
ill the wood is thoroughly impregnated
says the journal in question. The ace
tic acid and oils contained in the tar
are cvaporated by the heat and only
the resin left behind, which pcnctrates
the pores of the wood and forms an
alright aud water proof envelope. II
is an important to iInpregnatc the post
a little above the line of exposure. for
here il is that the action ofdccy effects
the wood first and where the break al
WAYS occurs when removed from the
earth or strained in testing.

A correspondent writes that weak
solution Of carbolic acid (about half
dozen drops TO gallon of watcr) will
destroy worms and grubs in flowcr-pots

effect. We have not tried these rem

ENs1LAeE.

| The short time which has elapsed
since the first silo should not be built
in this state rcndcs it very difficulty TO
difficulty to gather up many well estab-
lished facts but there are some which
we think Of sufficient Importance TO
place before our readers and also some
points worthy ofattentiOn.
First. II is a well demonstrated fact
that the walls Of silo should not be
built of brick unless faced wiah cement.
The brick absorbs the moisture from
the ensilage. which leaves it in a state
TO rapidly decay. For the same reason
wood is an unit material. And above
all things, the farmer seould avoid
building with wood and covering it
with zinc or lead to keep the moisture
in rs the acid of the ensilagc coming
in contact with these metals will form
deadly poison. Brick may be faced
with cement but weerc rocks are plenty
they are the cheapest and make the best
wall. The walls should be pcrpcndicu-
lar and straight, and made smooth with
cement.
Second. II is well demonstrated that
the more compact the ensllage is if the
water is not pressed out the better it will
keep. For this reason it should be cut
fine no. less than one half inch in length
il should also be well tramped down as
fast as put into the silo. This is impor-
tant. The whole mass should be made
compact and kept SO with heavy weights
or other means of pressure.
Third. There is no lenger any .doubt
but cattle horses sheep and swine will
readily eat cns.lage made of corn rye
and other green crops.
Fourth. Their are but little doubt
tina, cnsilage well kept will produce
good sweet milk.
Fifth. Ii is well settled fret that
that twenty four tons of greed fodder
can be grown on an acre of land.
Sixth. II is the testimony of several
that have tried in that daily ration Of
from fifty 20 seventy pounds cnsilage
and one or two Qurats of grain will
keep good sized mich COW in thriv-
ing condition. On this point our OBJ
seryation teaches US that we need more
time. more exact measurements ard
more care to keep the cows from the
haymow, before we settle down TO just
how much each COW needs for every |
twenty-four hours to keep her in good
condition. Every one who has EXAMINE
cd cattle toat have been fed on ensilagc |
must acknowledge that tecy look well.

There are many remedies for lice.
Some dense oil, ike sperm oil, de-
stroys lice BY closing up their breathing
apparatus. If the lice are attacked
early they may be banished by anoint-
ing with oil. If the lice gain greater
Roadway, an ointment made of one part
mercurial ointment and five parts Of
lard is excellent. This should not be
daubed over the animal, but spariDgly
applied and rubbed in thoroughly.
There are powders, which are also eff
fcctive. Carbolic powder, such as is
used by poultry breeders, also bubach,
or California insect powder thoroughly
busted through the hair, would work
well. Any remedy must be supplement-
ed by generous food and good care,
and all contact with neglected animals
must be avoided if possible.

NOTHING MADE FOR NAUGHr.

A spiders web affords an excellent
barometer. An old sportsman of Cold
water, Michigan, claims that one pre-
served i'm 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 if the spider re-
mains inert, rain will probably follow
within n short time.

TO MAKE OLD BLACK SILK LOOK NEW

Unpick the garment and wash the
