ReDubljcap Platform,

The Republicans of Ohio in Conven-
ten assembled adopt the following reso-
lutiOns:
In the untimely death of our late be-
loved President, James A. Garfield, we
recognize great national calamity, and
We recognize that his administration,
during its brief existence, gave assu-
rance of its success. We te elder tc Pres
ident Chester A. Arthur our assurance
Of confidence in his administration and
our approval of the moderate and patri-
otic course pursued by him amid the en-
barrassing circumstances unavoidably
attending such national crisis.
Resolved, That we fully endorse the
administration of Governor Charles
Foster and the State administration of
the Republican party during the last
two years, under which the expenditures
of the State were reduced over one-halt
million dollars below the expenditures
of the Democratic administration of the
two preceding years, and the public debt
of the State reduced nearly million
and quarter of dollars and the remain
der Of the debt redeemable on the 3Oth
of June, 1881. refunded at rate of in
terest below 5 a per cent. per annum.
Resolved, That we condemn the terri.
bic outrages and prosecutions inflicted
upon the Jews of Russia and other sec.
tions of Europe; and, while we heartily
approve the action of the Government
in its efforts to ameliorate the condition
of these unfortunate people, we earnest.
ly solicit continuance of its most en-
ergetic efforts to that end.
Resolved that we endorse and affirm
the principle of protection to American
Eindustry, as adopted at the last National
Republican Convention.
Resolved, That the tax paying people
of the State demand that by specific
taxation the traffic in Intoxicating liq-
uors shall be made to bear its share OF
the public burden, and that the Consti-
tuition in so far as it may be an obstacle
in the way of the exercise by The people
through their representatives of prac-
tical control over the liquor traffic, to
the end that the evils resulting there
from may be effectually provided
against, should be amended ut the earli-
est date allowed by law.
Resolved, That all laws upon the
statute books must be respected and EN-
forced until repealed by legislation or
abrogated by legal authority.
Resolved, That in preserving the life
of the Nation, in giving freedom, civil
rights and suffrage to the slave in the
reconstruction of the Union, in uphold
ing the National honor and credit unim-
paired in the rapid payment of the pub
lie debt, and in the adoption Of series
of wise public measures, which have
given to the country unexampled pros
perity, the Republican party has record
which gives assurance of what it will do
for the country in the future. Proud of
this record, the Republicans of Ohio,
affirm it to be their purpose to continue
their warfare upon dishonesty and fraud
at the ballot box until pure ballot and
a fair count is firmly. ecured to every
locality and to every citizen.

Growing Celery.

Celery requires an abundance of ma
nure, which, as usual with all other
crops, must be well mixed and incorpor-
ated with the soil before the celery is
set out. When the ground is well pre-
pared, we stretch a line to the distance
required, and beat it slightly with
spade, so that it leaves q mark to show
where to place the plants. These are
set out at distance of six inches be
tween the plants, and usually four feet
between the rows when the celery is to
be "banked" up for early fall use; but
when grown for winter use, from two to
three feet between the rows is sufficient.
Great care must be taken in putting out
the celery to see that the plant is Just
set to the depth of the roots; if much
deeper, the "heart" might be too much
covered up, which would impede the
growth. 1t is also important that the
soil be well packed to the roots in plant
ing, and this we do by returning on each
row, after planting, and pressing the soil
against each plant firmly with the
feet; and if the operation can be done
in ths evening, and the plants copiously
watered, no further attention will be
required. Planting may be done
from the 25th of July to the first week
in August. After planting nothing is
to be done but keep the crop clear of
weeds until September; by that time
the handling process is to be begun,
which consists in drawing the earth to
each side of the celery and pressing it
tightly to it, so as to give the leaves an
upward growth preparatory to blanching
for use. Supposing this handling pro-
cess is done by the middle of September,
by the first week in October it is ready
for "banking sp," which is done by dig
ging the soil from between the rows, and
laying or banking it up with the spade
on each side of the row of celery. After
being so banked up in October, it will be
ready for use in three or four weeks, if
wanted at that time. If the celery is to
be left in the open ground where it was
grown, then heavy bank must be made
on each side Of the rows, and as cold
weather approaches an additional cover
ing of at least foot of leaves or litter
must be closely packed against the bank,
to protect it from frost ;but it is not safe
to leave it in the banks where it grows
in any section of the country where the
temper ature gets lower than ten de-
grees above zero.-.z[Peter Henderson.

Do Your Best.

When honest Dayy Crockett said,
a Be sure you're right, then go ahead,
He crystallized a maxim true
" He builded better than he knew.
BE sure you're right, or come as near
The right as mortal man can steer;
Who does his best exhausts his store
q Angels themselves can do no more"
Be high your aim; then if you miss,
Your consolation comes with this:
If did miss, missed the sun,
And 80 has many prouder one.
Be not discouraged; work away;
Worlds are not builded in day;
Though cloud enwrap you far and wide
There's sunshine OH the other side.
The needle whose magnetic soul
Forever searches for the pole
Even this will vary. Judge ye, then,
If consistency can dwell with men.
Perhaps the storm may, by its force,
Compel litele change of course;
Yet change with care, and when you can
Resume your ION, straight on" again.

Points In Readinp

The following is a summary of the re-
suits of some experiments in feeding at
the model farm at Guelph, 0ntaris:
l. 4 steady frosty winter is better
than an open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average or year old steer
will eat its own weight of differens ma
terials in two weeks.
8. Two or year old cattle will add
one-third of pound more per day to
their weight upon prepared hay and
roots than upon the same materials un-
prepared.
4. 1t is 80 per cent more profitable to
premature and dispose of fattening cat
tie at years old than to keep them up
to three years.
5. There is no loss in feeding cattle
beast well upon variety of materials
for the sake of manure alone.
6. Farm-yard manure from well-fed
years old is worth an average of 81 so
per ton.
Z. A 3-year old cattle beast, we'll fed,
will give at least one ton of manure ev-
cry month of winter.
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay
for the direct increase to its weight from
the consumption of any kind or quality
of food.
o. On an average it costs ~ cents for
every additional pound of flesh added to
the weight of 2 or S-year old fattening
steer.
10. In Canada the market value of
store cattle can be increased SO per cent
during six months of finishing by good
feeding.
IL. In order to secure safe profit, no
store cattle beast, well done TO, can be
sold at less than ~ cents per pound
live weight.
II. In the fattening of wethers, to fin =
ish as shearings, the Cotswold and Lei
cester grades can be made up 10 200
pounds, the Oxford downs lSO pounds,
and the Southdown (grade) 160 pounds
each. live weight.
Is. A COW wintered upon two tons
and half of hay will produce not far
from five tons of manure, provided that
she be well Uttered and none of the ex-
crements be wasted.

The Red River Country.

A series of papers on "The New
Northwest" by E. V. Smalley, openl
graphically. in the August Century, will
description of the Dakota wheat re
gion. and facts, like the following, Of
great interest to persons seeking new
homes in the West:
Nowhere else in the United States
unless it be in the distant and little
known valleys of Eastern Oregon and
Washington Territory, are such large
crops of wheat raised with such small
expense and such certainty Of success
year after year. The grain is sown late
in the spring, as soon as the hot suns OF
the northern latitude have dried the
soaked lands, and grows with marvel
Gus rapidity. By Augustit is fully ma.
ture and ready for reapiBg. All the
farm-work is done by machinery. The
plowmah rides upon a sulky-plow; the
grain is sown with drill or broadcast
er; the reaping-machines bind the
sheaveS as they move over the ground
and the threshers do their work in the
fields driven by portable steam-engines
that bnrn the straw for fuel. The grain
is hauled at once to elevators at the
nearest railway station, and then the
whole farm equipment of apparatus is
left standing in the fields until needed
the next year. Except on the big "bo-
nanza FARMS, owned and operated by
capitalists, it is rare to find any sheds
for implements, or, indeed, any farm
buildings save a little bare box of a
dwelling, and a rude stable of boards,
sod and straw, to shelter the horses from
the winter blizzards. The red barns of
the bonanza farms makes great show
upon the wild, vacant prairie, but they
are not much larger than thrifty Penn
sylvania farmers, who till hundred
acres, build TO house their crops and
stock.
1t is within bounds to say that, taking
one year with another, profit of ten
dollars an acre is made on the Red River
wheat lands, after paying all expenses
of seed, cultivation, and marketing. The
great merit of this magnificent grain
field does not lie wholly in its richness,
however. Its structure is peculiarly ia
vorable for the transportation of its pro-
duct to the seabeard. Two hundred and
fifty miles of rail transit brings the Red
River wheat to Duluth at the head of
Lake Superior, from whence there is
water-carriage all the way to New
York barbor. Dakota seems to have
been fitted by nature for vast. perma-
nent wheat-feld. The conditions of
climate and soil exist for producing the
best grade of wheat and the largest av-
erage crops harvested for succession
of years in the United States, except,
perhaps, Washington Territory.
