Tfpton's Temperance Notwithstanding
Spread of Temperance Sentiment.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
Upton, Dec. 1.-The temperance cam
paign in this city is resulting in one of the
greatest revolutions ever witnessed in CEN
trail Indiana, Nearly 800 have joined the
army and still it goes on. On Saturday night
the enthusiasm ran so high that the young
men erected a rallying pole fifty-fve feet
high in the courthouse square, from which
banner of blue and white blended together
floats to the breeze, with the inscription:
Christian Temperance Union" on its full
length. Undoubtedly this is the first pole
raising ever witnessed in the United States
for the cause of temperance. On Monday
night another pole, 122 feet high, was erect
ed, and the banner can be seen for miles
away. Mr.. Dunn has awakened a temper
ance sentiment here never before witnessed
by our people. and the rum traffic below the
dead line is virtually suspended for the want
of customers.

And the converse is apt to be true-some-

Feeding Cows.
Iowa Homestead,

Correspondence Iowa Homestead,
1t is now about the time when the dairy
men think of turning off their poor cows to
fatten them, if they can. Some cows are
easily fattened. Some COWS are poor for the
dairy on this account; but some poor COWS
will neither milk nor fatten. What is good
for one sort of cow is not always good for
another, and it may not always pay to feed
COW that cannot be made to fat
ten. A dairyman should understand
and know his cows, and there is no better
way of becoming acquainted with them than
through the feed box. A neighbor once said
to me: THAT is the poorest COW L ever
owned, and l am thinking of knocking her
on the head" Have you given her fair
trial before you convict her?' I asked.
well, she gets the same feed as the Others"
said he. My dear fellow" 1 replied, COWS
are like folks; you can't judge of one by an
other, Now, you give that COW some extra
feed and see what she will do. Give her a
trial. 1 think she is good COW if you give
hera chance"
And he gave her trial. The more feed
he gave her the more milk she gave, until
she came up from five quarts day to twelve.
Then he tried all his herd in the same way.

Charles Russell, chief counsel for O'Donnell
has written letter to Gladstone, forcibly
drawing his attention to communication
from Sullivan, also ODonnells counsel in
reference to alleged misapprehension by the

The matter has been laid before Harcourt

ceeding. Sullivan writes the Pail Mall Ga
zette asking to see the jurors who con-
victed O'Donnell, that he may ascertain the
correctness of the statements which have
been made in Russelps correspondence with
the government, but says his solicitor is still
unable to frd them. Sullivan says no doubt
the members OF the jury would come for
ward if they knew the life Oh death of O'Don-
nell hung on the issue. For want of this in
formation ten days of the sixteen remaining
to ODonnell have been lost
Guys appeal through the press for the ad-
dresses of the jurors was sent the principal
newspapers but published by only one.
Sullivan expresses Indignation at such treat
ment. He says all means of knowing the jul
rors mas been denied defendants counsel
during and since the trial.

How to Transplant Trees from woods.

American Agrlculturist.
Many think it cheaper and better to take up
large trees from the woods, and transplant
them to their grounds or to the roadside.
than to buy nursery trees. As a rule, such
trees die; they fail because proper precau-
tons have not been TAKEN In digging up
the tree, all the roots outside OF a circle a
| few feet in diameter are cut off, and the tree
is reset with its full head of branches.
| Whoever has seen trees in the forest that
were upturned by a tornado must have been
struck by the manner in which the roots
run very near to the surface and to a
great distance. When the roots of these
trees are cut off at two or three feet
from the trunk, few or no fibrous or feeding
roots are left; and If the mass of tops is left,
the expansion of the buds in the spring will
not be responded to by a supply of sap from
the roots, and death must follow. If such
trees have the tops completely removed,
leaving only bare pole, they will usually
grow when transplanted. The tree is little
more than an immense cutting; but there
are roots enough left to meet the demand of
the few shoots that start from the top, and
growth above and below ground are we'll
balanced. We have seen NAPLES, ems and
Eastwood trees, fifteen feet or more high,
transplanted in this manner, without fail
ure. Some trees treated in this manner were
planted in our neighborhood about ten years
ago. They have now as fine heads as one
would wish, and show no signs of former
rough treatment. Trees in pastures, or on
the edge of the woods are better furnished
with roots. These should be prepared for
transplanting by digging down to the roots
and cutting of all that extend beyond the
desired distance. This will cause the forma-
ton of fibrous roots near the tree. 1t will
be safer to take two years for the operation,
cutting half the roots each year. Such trees
may be removed in safety, especially if
good share of the top is removed in trans
planting. Shrubs of various kinds require
the same treatment Many of our native
shrubs are of great beauty, and desirable as
ornaments to the grounds. As ordinarily
transplanted, they are rarely satisfactory. If
the whole top of these shrubs, every branch,
be removed leaving only a stick with as
much root as can be secured, success is quite
certain. We have removed the laurel
(Kalmia latifolia) safely in this manner. The
shrubs show no signs of their rough treP+-
