AFARMER's HoT-BED---BoxEs.

Il. A. G." asks us: "Will a hot-bed
pay farmer with q small garden: 2"
II he has had experience in the manage
ment of one, and viii give tic needed
time TO the care Of il, and can find
sale for the plants he does not wish TO
use himself, he can no doubt make it
source of moderate profit. But if the
care of hot-bed will take time that
can be better employed otherwise, ii is
not worth while for him TO make one
for the sole purpose of supplying his
own garden with plants. 1t is better
TO buy the few needed plants, or, better
still, raise them in window boxes. We
have often referred 10 these, but their
utility does not seem 10 be generally
appreciated. They allow one to pro-
vide all the plants of early cabbages,
cauliiowers, tomatoes, or whatever
wonld DE sown in hot-bcd, which are
needed in an ordinary garden, at no
expense in money and very little time
or care in labor Boxes are readily
procured at any country store; as the
window boxes need not be over three
inches deep, an ordinary box may be
usually sawed in two, using The top for
bottom Of the upper half. These are to
be nearly filed with light, rich soil, in
which the seeds are TO be sown, and
kept in a sunny kitchen window.
When the plants show the rough leaves,
4. e., the leaves that follow the seed
leaves, they are TO be transplanted 10
other boxes aud given more room. Ii
is easy, if there is some one in the fam
ily who viii give the needed attention,
TO thus have an abundance of plants
for the family garden.-American Agri-
culfurist for March.

TAKE CARE OF rHE COLTS.

In raising colts 1t is very essential al
ways to maintain very keen relish for
food and a sharp appetite in the young
animal. This can only be done by
strictly guarding against over-feeding
with grain. For 5-months-old foal of
about medium size, if the weather be
moderate, about one and half pinis of
oats TO meal will be enough. Later,
and with the advent Of cold weather,
one quart at each meal may be fed,
with as much corn as could be sheled
from single ear. When the colt gets
little older, give it the corn upon the
ear, the shelling of which will afford
him much amusement. Have warm
quarters In cool weather, and have
them kept clean and well ventilated.
Turn the animal out TO run during the
warlnest part of the winters day for
exercise. Provide the ca with a gen.
eroas supply Of dry te9Giag. Allow

Death of ThurlOw Weed.

Thurlow Weed, than whom few
American politicians have had
more influence or been more wide
ly known. died of old age In New
York, last Wednesday, in his o6th
year.
He was poor boy, and at the
age of 10 was a cabin-boy on a
Hudson ri err steamboat. At IL he
learned the printers trade, and at
81 was a publisher. He served In
the war of 1912, and from 1880 to
1856 was proprietor of the Albany
Evening Journal, and as Wing
politician was largely instrumental
in securing the nomination OF Har-
rison, Taylor, Scott and Lincoln.
By safe and wise investments,
his property accumulated through
a long lifetime, till at his death he
leaves stocks and securities valued
at from 100000 to 50, 100000.
He was in his prime most init
mately connected with Horace
Greeley, who like himself strug-
gled up from poverty to fame.

Will our fellow guardian of pub

suggest for the public good, with

Our neighbor from his mountain

thought he had solved a very intri-

Man a Monster.

When regarded from the stand
point Of his refusal to protect his
own flesh and blood from fiery
jawed death and destruction-is
man less than a nsonsters
Indeed, is there among all the
fowls of the air, fishes of the sea or
beasts of the Jungle, to be found a
monster so unnaturdlLy monstrous,
as not to stand between its oacn and
danger?
The eagle will beat itself to
death against the foe that approach
es its eyrie home, the fish watches
day and night guarding its spawn,
the alligator swallows her fright
ened brood, and fights for her own
life for their sake, and the tigress
battles and sinks in her blood, block
ing the threshold of her lair in de-
Tense of her cubs; but it seems to
belong to man and man only to in
vite danger and death TO his home.
To man it is left to court, license,
and legalize the robbery, ruin and
murder of his own family!
Is not such conduct monstrous ?
And is not the author of such mon
strous doing, monster? And yet
every man is guilty Of just such
unnatural treason and murder
against his own flesh and blood,
that votes for or asscnts to the IL
censing Of a liquor saloon in front
of his home.

Light Wanted.

Can any of the legal lights of
our city explain how one person
can be found guilty on a charge,
and another cleared on exact
ly the same evidence? An ex-
planation Of this kind would prob
ably make clear to mystifed pub
lie some points hitherto unknown
in law.-SentineL.

"To be or not to be"---a candidate
that's the question. Hon. H. G.
Davis has published an exhaustive
ly argumentative letter ostensibly
to prove to doubling and gain
saying people that he is not a can
didate for reelection to the Z. S.
Senate; but it seems to be openly
limited by astute readers Of political

In a Fair Fight,
Vactory is Sure to Croacn the Right.

We clip the following from the
Monitor Journal as noting one of
the many victories of the recent
campaign in Indiana and elsewhere,
where the issue was made squarely
between the liquor traffic and tenn
perance. Wherever the people
stand bravely and squarely for the
right, they are bound to win. The
Journal says:
"H. D. Sterritt, President of the
Boone County Temperance Coun-
Gil is the republican representative
from Boone county, the first repub-
lican representative from Boone
county in an off year for II years.
His majority was IT'S which is 145
above the State ticket. He made
a square open canvass on the sub
mission question. The county tick
ct elect contains seven republicans
and four democrats. Every man in
each party who took a square open
stand on the submission question
was elected and every one in each
party who did not, was defeated.

CROOKED WHIsKEY.-Abranam
Shank, of Hampshire county, was
one day last week and
brought to this place, charged with
violating the internal revenue law,
in selling spirituous liquors with
out license. He had a hearing be-
fore y. S. Commissioner Rizell, on
Monday. Several witnesses were
examined, but the evidence failed
to sustain the charge, and he was
released. We understand the testi,
mony strongly implicated the wife
of the deceased. They keep asmall
grocery, and Mrs. Shank, who is
great invalid, not being able to
leave her room, did the selling
Keyser Tribasne.
The selling of whiskey with or
without license is crooked enough,
but the selling Of it by woman,
and an invalid at that, is too
crooked for the liberation, even Of
frail humanity.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 80, 1882.
What eve" Want.

Some steps are being already ia
ken by the Democrats, we learn,
looking to the nomination of their
ticket for the coming city election.
We want but one thing done for
our party and that is the aomina-
zion Of q straight Republican tick
ct without reference to license or
,sny other outside issue. We want
= representative Republican ticket
with no "ands, ifs or butts" about
it.-State Journal.
From low, partisan standpoint,
Che above might, on first thought,
sound quite clever, wise, discreet
and all that; but considered from
Che higher planes of home protec-
tion and home interests, political
economy and good order and de-
eency in society, it will hardly bear
inspection,
Let US see. Our neighbor wants
D "Republican ticket without any
reference to license or any other
outside issue" Now if license isn't
the only real issue before the peo-
pie of Parkersburg, why does he
Single it out and mention 1t alone?
IF there be any other issues, out
with them and let's have them
discussed.
Of course the covert meaning Of
the above deliverance is under
stood to be, "let the license men die
tate the ticket without reference
to anything else but license, and
perhaps, availability.
But suppose it wasn't SO under
stood-what's the predicament of
our neighbor? He here declares in
favor of choosing deacons ard pas
tor of his church without any ref
erence to whether the candidates
will favor or oppose the religion,
policy, or government OF the church.
He is part owner in a valuable
ship and cargo, and here lifts his
voice for a captain and crew to
man the vessel, without any refer
ence to whether those applying be
pirate sailors, secretly sworn in add
vance to run the ship on the rocks
in the interests of the wreckers, or
srue men worthy of trust to deliver
the ship safe in port for the ben
eft Of the owners and underwriters.
Please, good neighbors, don't stay
in such a predicament. Come out,
rather in the strength and digni-
ty of independent man
hood and say, "Put none but true
men on guard" "The best ticket
for the best interests of the peo-
pie"

CIearinR House Returna

New York, 9.-Clearing house ex-
changes for the week, as compared
with the corresponding week last
year, show the following gains and
losses in business transactions:
Gains-New York, 93.I0 per cent. !;
st. Louis, 6; Detroit, 6; Cincinnati,

phia, 81; Pittsburg, 20; Milwaukee,
12.7; New Orleans, 10; Cleveland,
1911; Springfield, 20; Memphis, 81.
Commenting on this exhibit the
PI6ttc says: Generally, returns for
the last week are more favorable
than for mrnth at half the cities,
Notwithstanding the greater de-
crease IN the aggregate. Boston con-
tlnueS to decline, Philadelphia loses
little for the week, though a gain
for last month, and Chicago, st.
Louis. Milwaukee, Peoria, Memphis
and Kansas City report less satisfac=
torily for the first week of AUG
ust than for the month of
July; but Cincinnati, Balti-
more, Louisville, Indianapolis,
PittSburg and New Orleans,
with several of the manufacturing
cities, appear more favorably in the
weekly than in the monthly report.
1t is a fact to be remembered that
the range of prices, though A per
cent. higher for the month than it
was in July, was only about Z pei
cent. higher at the close of the
month. Last year business began
in July, to feel the effect of the pro
lOuged drouth and Of short crops
though mean speculative operation!
concealed that effect in part. This
year there are indications of an I'M
proVement in legitimate business
though speculation seem to be de
Ginning.
