HOW TO SUCCEED.

I wish to offer hint to boys. But it
will do for others. Diligence and earn
estness will accomplish a great deal.
once had a groWn-up boy to work for me
who did not fully understand this. He
boarded himself. He worked well, but
thought success depended on making the
best bargain he could with his employer.
On the last day of his engagement he
borrowed vessel at the house to carry
drink into the field where he worked
alone He came in precisely at the hour
for quitting work, but without the vessel.
| asked him where it was. ''Oh, he forgot
to bring it in, but he said his time was up
for his days work and declined He
never succeeded well, although active and
of fair abilities. Another person in my
employ always took an interest in the
work, and did not mind an extra half-hour
if matters required it. He works for me
yet, and can afford to allow him an extra
hour on special occasions, and to do va
rious things without charging him.
Another instance will do to repeat, al
though not Immediately within my per-
sonal knowledge. An orphan boy sought
employment: he was repeatedly repulsed.
He was nearly discouraged; when the
owner of q large establishment at last
concluded to take him if he would do

hand every morning, and tried to make
| himself useful in every way. At the end
of the year, when he talked Of leaving,
every one pleaded for him to stay. He
had helped the clerks and helped the
| owner they s'could not spare him." He
was offered higher wages, and in two OF
three years more commanded good
salary. In process OF time he was admit
ted as partner He was not like some
persons I have seen who seemed to think
that the great point was to get the best
possible wages and never to work {
minute beyond the regular time, but
rather, if possible, to fall within it. They
never made out much Country Gentle

A COOP HARVEST DRINK Man OF
tht Prairie writes in this wise to the
Prairie Farmer: IF you want real
good, straight harvest drink in these hot
DAYS when to drink ice cold water is
harmful, sweetened water nauseous, and
spirits entirely out of the question, put
oatmeal in water, let it stand few hours
and shake it up. A piece of ice in it will
do no harm. Sweeten a little if preferred.
l know it is good and healthful. l was
at one harvest field last summer where
many men were employed, and the wealth
er was extremely hot. This oatmeal
water was standing about by the barrel,
with huge cakes of ice in it. The men
drank all they wanted of it and felt first
rate all day."

An enthusiast on tnrnips says: A turnip
crop will fit a meadow for corn, as the
sod will be rotted ready for giving the
maize a vigorous start; and the ground
will be more mellow and all the richer on
account Of the turnips. The sod should
be turned over as soon as possible after
the clover or hay crop has been taken off.
1t would be well to roll the ground and
fatten the sward to hasten it's decomposi-
ton, and few days before sowing time
harrow it thoroughly. A dressing of
finely rotted manure should then be
spread upon the surface and cultivated
into the soil, the ground being pulverized
and made as mellow as possible. If wood
ashes can be procured they will help the
crop if they are thinly scattered on the
top. A pound and half of seed sown
broadcast is ample for an acre. The
seed should be covered with a bush drag.
As soon as the turnips are up they will be
benefited by dressing of plaster (sul-
plate of lime) at the rate of two bushels
to an acre. Good phosphate will make
turnips grow, if narrowed into the ground
with the seed, using 100 pounds to the
acre. The advantages of a crop of tur
nips for the latter part Of autumn are
manifold. If the farmer does not wisl
to harvest them he can turn on his entire
stock, and the hungry animals that NIGH
have roamed over frost-bitten, barrel
fields will luxuriate in plenty.

To keep lawns free from weeds, special
care has to be given during the first year,
as many weeds grow so rapidly that they
crowd out the grass. Plantain, dandelion,
and other perennial weeds are not yet
deeply rooted during the first year, and
may be easily pulled out, while in later
years it becomes almost impossible to
eradicate them entirely

At this season extra care should be
taken that the horses should have no
more grain than they can eat up clean.
If any is left in the manger, it should be
taken out at once and thrown away. If
the manager becomes so foul as to emit a
sour smell from any cause, it should be
carefully cleansed and washed with So
luton of soda or potash until perfectly
sweet again. The eating of grain that
has soured i'll the manager or feed box is a
frequent cause of collie in horses. and
those which are we'll fed, but do not al
ways have time to eat the rations piyen
them, are the most liable to it, If collie
occurs from any undigested food, one of
the best remedies will be found in taking
a few Jumps of charcoal, pulverizing it,
and turning about two quarts of boiling
water over it. When lukewarm. strain
off and turn down the throat of the horse
from bottle. Another remedy, having
similar effect, is one heaping tablespoon
full OF saleratus dissolved in one pint OF
milk or warm water, to which add half
tea-spoonful of cayenne pepper and adj
minister at once. If collie is caused by
taking cold, or by drinking too freely of
cold water when heated, give two table
spoonfuis of ginger and a teacupfnl OF
molasses in two quarts of warm water.
This is dose for full grown horse, and
while unusually effective it is not liable to
do any injury, even if the amount given
is much greater than the above named.

PERMANENT FARM IMPROVEMENTS
Discussing this important topic in the
Tribune and Farmer, ID. d. L. Moore
says: Every owner und cuItivator of
farm should aim to make, each year. some
permanent improvements thereupon.
Whether his acres be few or many, they
may be enhanced in value by making adj
ditions and improvements in the way of
good buildings and fences, the planting
of fruit gardens and orchards, the clear
ing and draining of land, and adopting
other measures to render his premises
more attractive and productive. The APP
pearance of farm often makes a great
difference in the price which it will bring
when offered for sale; for in purchasing
a homestead, even more than in many
other matters, the old adage holds true
that most people judge by appearances
Hence good, neat and convenient dwell
ing house and outbuildings, with fences,
shrubbery, flower and vegetable gardens

THERE is no prospect that the dis
tracted condition of the Republican par
ty in the state of New York will be heal
ed. All efforts so far have proved abOr-
tive, and the factions are as wide apart
as ever. FOlger's vote fell 213,080 be-
low that cast for Garfield; or, in other
words, nearly two-thirds of the Repub-
licans refused to support the regular
candidate for Governor, though he was
one of the pillars Of the national ad-
ministration. These 213,080 voters are
Half Breeds. The Republican Commit
tee is controlled by Stalwarts, and so are
the central committees in large ma
jority of the cities and counties. This
faction would manage the work of re-
organization in its own interests. The
Half Breeds know this, and object to
coming under the Stalwart yoke. I'm
til a compromise is effected, harmony
remains long way off.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
COLUMBUS, o., Nav 3, 1883.


Mr.. G. NJ. KentOn, Editor onion County
Journal, MarysVille, Ohio: ..
DEAH SIR: | am in receipt of your ia
VOr of this date, i'll W hich you say there
.eems to be diversity of opinion rela-
tive TO the deci siOn of eXAtIOrn Gen,
Nash, concerning the vote on the pro-
posed constitutional amendments rela-
tive to the liquor traffic" and asked me
to give an opinion on the subject ''in
concise form for publication" ....
IL is not the province OF the Attorney
General to prepare opinions ''fOr puO-
licatiOn," yet have no hesitaney in ex-
pressing my individual views on sub
ject of such general interest to the peO-
pie. cannot, however, conceive how
any diversity Of opinion" can exist as to
the opinions of my distinguished pTede-
cessur. On examination hnd on lille in
the office copies of two letters written
Oy Judge Nash, which in my judgment
effectually preclude the idea of any un-
certainty ON the subject, and which cover
the exact points about which you in
quire. quote from each:
"a citizen without doubt, can vote
yes on both propositions, OF no on
Doth, or yes on one and no on the
other" ... ..... ....... .. ....
"l have no doubt about the right of a
citizen to vote yes on both prOpOsi-
tiOns or abOut3the right to vote no on
the other" ....... .a.
These letters are all conclusive, and
fully concur in the opinions therein eX-
pressed. If more were needed l might
refer you to sec. 1 of art. 10 of the Con-
stitutiOn itself, which distinctly recOg-.
nizes the right of the GuneTal Assembly
TO submit more than one proposition az
the same time, the only requirement be-
ing, as therein expressed, that ''when
more than one amendment shall be sub
united at the same time, they shall be
80 submitted as to enable the electors
TO vote on each amendment separately"
This has been done in the present in
stance, and submit there Is not the
shadow of doubt of the legality of the
action of the General Assembly. 1t is
idle to speculate on the possibility of
lhe adoption of both amendments. 1t
requires a majority Of all the votes cast
at the election to adopt either, and in
the improbable event OF both receiving
such a majority, it is possible the courts
might hold that the manufacture of
and the traffic in intoxicating liquors to
be used as beverage" is prohibited by
one, and that the General Assembly is
given the power by the other Ito rega-
late" the traffic and levy tax ON the
| sale of such liquors, when sold for other
| than "use as abeverage."
Indeed, this would seem to be the le
gitimate result of the adoption of both.

1t will be seen that Mr.. Baughman
does not deny serving Mckinley and re-
ceiying his pay, and these are the essen
tial points. We never objected to Mr
Baughman as a policeman; but If his
mission was to serve Mckinley in tht
latter's attempt to steal Wallace's sea-

P. Green, Mr.. Kohler, C. s. Grant, U. L.
Marvin, the friends of each keeping the
telegraph line busily engaged, and the
travel to Columbus assumed such pro-
portions that the railroads were think
ing of giving wholesale rates. On Fri
day, last week, the Governor announced
his intention Of appointing Grant, but
no sooner had he done so than he was
besieged with protesting kilograms from
the friends of the other candidates, and
a delegation started for Columbus, and
had an audience with him late that
night. On Saturday the Governor ap
pointed 0. L. Marvin. Much bad blood
was exhibited, and Park Alexander and
Col. COnger came in for a full supply of

GOVERNOR CLEVELAND, Of New York,
has made two strokes for civil service
reform. The first was the veto of bill
to convert the Buffalo Fire Department
into a "spoils" organization by turning
1t over to the tender mereies Of local
Democratic ring. In his veto he says:
"a tried, economical and efficient ad-

upon partisan grounds, or to satisfy
personal animosities, in order that the
places and patronage attached thereto
may be used for party advancement. l
