are now fed with biscuits. They
consist of thirty parts of cat -four,
thirty parts of dextrinated pea -four,
thirty parts of rye -four, and ten
parts of linseed -four; sometimes of
twenty parts of wheat -four, twenty
parts of corn meal, twenty parts of
rye flour, twenty parts of grated
bread, and ten parts OF linseed -four
The ingredients are made into bis
cults. The first named mixture is
the best. These biscuits are made
with hole in the middle of each, SO
they can be strung and hung to the
saddle-bow, or be carried by the
trooper around the waist. Each
biscuit weighs, baked dry and hard,
about two ounces. Seven biscuits
are broken up and given to the ho, Sc

ter, if convenient, otherwise dry
twelve at noon and seven at hight
After careful experiments ia camp,

pounds Of these biscuits, which will
furnish bis horse with full rstions
for eight days, or, will serve, with
forage, fos twenty days hard march

HOW TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES.
c.,4tar,, CuItivator

GoubucIu OuitAf"eOA'
AS for keeping them | will give
the plan that | adopted years age
and never lost a bushel of potatoes
since from rot.
10 the first place, | dig them be-
fore frost, 10 as dry time as car
get. and let them remain in the
patch until dry, which will be hsli
day. | then haul them to the place
where | want to hill them, having
put ell the cut ones to themselves
while loading the wagon. There |
have hole dug out the size | want
the bill, say four feet in diameter
and three and half feet deep,
throwing the dir! around the hole as
it's dug. When | get the holes the
desired depth, | cover the bottom
with dry grass and wall up the sides
with the same. have the potatoes
poured in as carefully as | can so
as not to bruise them, until the
hole is level full of them have four
or FIVE bushels put on top to form
cone. b! then cover with cornstalks,
breaking them off go that one end
will rest on the ground just outside
the bill, and the other end coming
to a point at top of potatoes. | then
cover the stalks with pine bark, to
keep the dirt from running through
on the potatoes | then have all
the loose dirt thrown on the bark,
making thick base, and putting it
a little thinner as near the top of
the hill, leaving a hole at the top of
the hill for the steam to pass out.
When the dirt is put on | build a
low shelter of boards little larger
than the hill, and breaking joints so
that it will not leak. Now, Mr..
Editor, potatoes put up in this way
will not only keep from rotting, but
will be as dry as the day they were
put up. If any of the many readers
of the Cultivator tries this plan this
fall ] urge them to carry it out 10
full and they will have no difficulty
in keeping their potatoes. A.

Making a Passenger " Git. "

A justice of the peace in the interior
of Michigan had a case before him some
days ago in which the defendant, who
had been arrested as a suspicious char
acter, and pleaded guilty to vagrancy,
was sent to the Detroit House of Cor
rection for six months. A constable
took him in charge to deliver him there,
and as the man seemed rather pleased
at the idea of securing board and
lodging for six months he was not
handcuifed. As the train was about
ready to go the constable moved across
the aisle to talk politics with a friend,
and pretty soon they were having it
hot and heavy. When the conductor
came in for tickets he held out his hand
to the prisoner, and the latter shook
his head and replied:
"I don't pay fare"
"Aha! You don't, Ell? Well, now,
you pay or git!'
81 won't pay"
"Then you'll git! When we slow
up at the crossing you jump off. If
find you on the train after we pas:
there I'll give you bounce that yOr
won't forget!''
In two minutes the train began tC
slow and the prisoner walked to the
door, picked u soft spot and drop
ped of. When the train had made
another mile the conductor held ou
his hand to the constable and received
two tickets.
"Who is the extra one for?" h
J asked.
"For that prisoner over there"
"What prisoner?"
) "Why, that fel-"
Then there was raving and gnashin
} of teeth and hurrying up and down
: but it was no use.
"Sorrry," said the conductor, as h
d passed along, "but when a passengC
l says he won't pay fare on my train
:. give him the drop. The only thin
s surprised me was to see how willingl
l he obeyed ORDERS"

been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.

land. Nobler views of God are taking
the place Of the monstrosities that have
darkened the earth and saddened so
many hearts. Broader, juster views of
man, of his nature and destiny, are
rising to view. Jesus Christ, in his
grand, unique personality, is advancing
to the front, as the highest representa-
ton of God and man, as divine rele-
lation, self-attesting, appealing to the
deepest sentiments and more profound
necessities of our nature. In him
human hope gathers new strength,
The world is wholly different world

A LARGE FARM TO BE DIVIDED
One of the largest and most productive
farms in New Castle county is owned
and cultivated by A. COlburn, Esq,
near Delaware City. This fine grain
and grassing farm contains some 1900
acres of upland and meadow, and pro-
duces annually large crops of grain
and hay, besides supporting about 800
head of cattle. Mr.. Colburn is about
to divide this large farm into six
smaller ones of twenty-five acres, make
the required improvements and rent
them out on shares. Here will be a
chance for a few good renters to secure
desirable farms for next year.

that little sweat would do me good,

And dim, sweet eyes, there are fresh, warm

But the rose Of joy blooms on for the soul,
The happy soul that can never grow old.

The MeaneSt of Thieves.

He is Ellis P. Phipps, late superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia almshouse.
He stole the soap, sugar, hams, candles,
starch, vinegar, molasses, lard, eggs,
pickles, and other groceries bought for
the wretched beings under his charge.
Five car loads of groceries and bedding
stolen from the almshouse were found
in the cellar of his boarding house.
Phipps is a true graduate of the
Kemble school of politicians. For ten
years he has been prominent Repub-
lican politician, and has held his
official post by virtue of his political
services. Like others he seems to have
thoroughly understood the science of
addition, division and silence" The
almshouse $4,000 by no means cover
the extent of his peculatiOns. They
are only the meanest of his steals. He
embezzled the city moneys, and robbed
of their wages the keepers indebted to
him for their appointment. When
arrested, he was promptly bailed by g
Republican Alderman. Phipps as
promptly disappeared, and all the
detectives in the land arc now on the
alert for him. If captured, like hi
political brother Kemble, he ought t.
be convicted, unlike Kemble, he Ough

The unearthing of Phipps' misdeed
places the crowning stigma on tn

The Coming Question in Politics.

The New York Tribune sifts the
vote cast in Iowa on the adoption of
the prohibition amendment, and notices
that larger proportion of the foreign
vote was cast for the amendment than
had been expected. This was the
more surprising as some thought the
foreign vote would be cast sOlidly
against it. Had this been done the
amendment would have been defeated.
1t was the fear that this would occur
that led to such an energetic canvass
in behalf of the amendment. Demo-
cratic counties, as IL rule went against
it, but considerable number of Demo-
cratic votes were cast fOrit. Altogether
the vote was so strong and irrespective
of the influences which are usually
regarded as against it, that the idea of
such an amendment forms prominent
feature of the issue in Ohio and Indiana
this year. 1t is evidently the coming
question in politics. AS such it will
ere long invade this State. In Ohio
and Indiana it is q Republican issue
as it was very largely in Kansas ant
Iowa. And there are signs Ofthis ISSUE
invading Congress. Already in Kansas
the next election for United State
senator is likely to turn on it. Sena
tors Plumb and Ingalls, are involved
one supporting st. Johns for govcrno
and the other against him. The sam
may be said to be true in Ohio. Sena
tor sherman and Governor Foster bot
support the submitment of the amend
. ment. Already the question has bee
started whether the requisite numbc
of States can be secured to ratiiy sue
; an amendment to the national cOnst
tuition. 1t is believed they can.
