FARMERS who have been disappointed in the
"cateh" Of clover in their wheat, will do well to
SOW patch Of buckwleat on their wheat ground
and try again, The best clover we have ever had
was secured in this way. And the buckwheat
cakes in the bargain tnat was no small consd
GRAFTON as any one will admit.
Another excellent way to start clover At this
season, is to SOW in the corn after the last culti
Walton, and scratch in the seed with an instru.
ment similar to 3 rake, attached to the under
side Of a harrow from which the tiuk es have
been taken. While sowing clover, it is to be re.
gretted that seed of the large red variety is not
to be procured in our home market. Unduuht.
edly it would be kept in stock by all of our mer.
chants that sell seeds, If there was a demand
for it. One needs but TO see the splendid large
clover, reaching up7tO a cows middle, as it Is
grown in Pennsylvania and few sections OF Del
aware, TO regret that any other kind should ever
be grown. Ar,Allen says in Western Farmer:
The next thing after securing good stand Of
clover will he to winter it. Aud right here we
come to the consideration Of a very important
matter or course Of proceeding in clover raising,
How many farmers isi to make their clover
winter well, and often make perfect failure.
After the reaper is drawn out Of the Reld, and
the stack is done, do not lei anything on to the
piece during the fall. Aud right here l an
aware that my recommendation will be different
from the common practice.
Farmers think, now have such splendid iced |
for "my stock, they will turn all their stock on,
and take in their neiRhbOrs' to keep Tor fear all |
that good clover will be wasted by being frozen. |
Now, brother farmers, you never made
greater mistake in your life than to pasture of |
that young clover. Let that young clover stand
and the stubble stand as perfectly as the reaper
LETT it. The Stubble will keep the snow on the
land il any falls, aud if only a very little falls it
will keep It from blowing off. Now then, too,
The young clover will be pressed down by the
snow, or i there is no snow the clover thus left
will act as a mulch to the land and 10 the young
clover, and protect 1t from the hard frost.
Then too, in the spring following that mulch
will cause most vigorous growth which will
continue through the whole season, making it
,Ome forward so that cutting can be commenced
lbOut the middle Of June.

The Care and Use OF POIsOns.

Too much care can not be taken TO avoid dan
ger in the necessary use Of poisons. Paris Green
and London Purple have become so useful to
farmers that familiarity with their use has not
failed to breed contempt for their possibilities OF
making trouble. Arsenic which is the deadly
portion Of both of these poisons, can be taken
into the system ia many ways. Not ouly will il
produce fatal effects by being received into the
stomach but by inhalation, or through the pores
Ofthe skin,an especially through any cut IN the
flesh.
Receatly we read of labOrer who applied one
Of these poisOns to potato viHes while barefoot
ed. A small cut in one of his toes received the
deadly poison; first the toe was amputated,
then the foot, and finally, the legi but the man
died.
The pans, busters, and a package Of Paris
Green that was left over iIOm last years apply
ing, were packed away in the garret of a farm
er's house last year. Near this place tue farm.
er's tidy daughter sat aud sewed carpet rags un.
til prOsrated by some strange and incomprehen-
sible illaess. Alter much inquiry and search by
the doctor the cause was ascestained-polson by
breathing the imperceptible particles OF arsenic
floating in the air of the attic where she had
worked. II the vessels used by that farmer in
the use Of this poison had been thoroughly
cleansed, and the package left had been put in
a tight can or buried so deep under ground that
il would never have been resurrected, that fam.
lily would have been spared great trouble.
Now how are they often Hsedi Pans or buckets
carrying their danger signals Of purple and green
are left lying around. shower comes and the
water caught in the bucket is eargarly drank by
some thirsty chicken, perhaps COW or horse,
ALI that farmer has had "bad luck" That is |
what he calls it, but is it "uck?'
The practice of putting Paris Green or London .
Purple on cabbage can not be too earnestly dep.
-ecated. One would suppose that no one with
nOdicum OF sense or conscience would so risk .
life and health; but as it is done, we can only en-.
er our earnest protest against the practice.

INJUXCTI0Ts.

Three cf Them Prayed ior 20 Prevent the
Northern Pacific from Issuing Second
Mortgage Bonds.
NV YORK, Oc:. 24.-Three su;ts have
been brought against the Northern Pacific
company to-day by Dunning, Edsall, Hart
& Fowler, by Anderson, and BIZ Rowland,
The object of the suits is to prevent the is
sue OF the pew second mortgage bonds.
The ground taken is that the original act
Of incorporation prohibits the company
from making any mortgage or assuming
any construction bonds without the con-
sent of congress. In 1870 congress gave
consent that the company might issue con-
struction bonds and secure them by mort
gage. Under that contract Jay Cookies
mortgages were MADE, which were sabse
quertly forec,os-d The position
taken by the plaintiffs is that the
authority congress once exer-
cised was exhausted and could not be re-
peated. The order to show cause with a
stay granted in two suits and arguments.
will be heard November 1st. The officers
of the company sent brought by j. j.
Bradley, who says that ne is the holder of
common stock, is of no importance. He
asks that the company be epjoiped from
Issuing the bonds or making mortgages
until congress gives consent. Bradley
had no standing, so he had had 200 shares
transferred to him On Saturday in order
to bring this suit.
Bulls ii Northern Pacific state that if
the bears in their stock expect to buy in
shorts under cover OF suits Brought today
they are mistaken.

OBITUARY.
j. F. Mcintosh.

A very large circle of social and bust
ness friends will learn with regret of the
death of j. F. Mcintosh which occurred
yesterday forenoon. He was attacked
with typhoid fever and had been confined
to his house only week when death en-
sued. Mr.. Mcintosh was born in New
York city in 1949 and was
in his thirty-ffth year at the time
of his death. The first portion of his
business life was spent in the oil region of
Pennsylvania. From there he came to st.
Paul, in 1869 and soon after opened q
meat market on Robert street. From
small beginnings he became, probably, the
largest cattle buyer in the city and added
an extensive beef packing house to his
market. In 1880 he was elected one of
commissioners of the county, and proved q
most intelligent and faithful officer.
In business he was honorable, prompt
and energetic, and if his life had been
spared he would have extended his opera
ton very greatly. Socially his friends
were numerous and his death casts a
gloom over wide circle. He leavas a
wife but no children. His death is not
only loss tohis immediate frieads but a
loss to the business interests of st. Paul,
as he was destined to be am ong the fore
most business men of the city.

act3r and fitness is not overdrawn. He
has in an eminent degree the attributes
that commend his capability for useful
ness II any position. This fast would ar
ray against him the most rancorous op-
position of which the Republican
party is capable, aud its resources
of bigotry, fraud and corruption are to be
considered as well as the desperate fight
surely to come for the purpose of carry
ingOhio at the October election next year.
II any candidate save only Mr. Tilden
Conla surmount such an onslaught
Judge Hoadly is that man. But
it would be as unwise as unnecessary to
expose him to the CALLING fire of the mad
dened and reckless enemy, when his name
in ASSOCIATION with Mr.. Tilden would pre-
sent L combination against which any
form of opposition would be in vain.
If Judge Hoadly's name is to be used in
the canvass at all it should be for the sec
ond place, provided TiLden is in the field
for the first. Mr.. Hendricks churlishness
in refusing the second place in 1880
and thereby preventing the rebuke of
the fraud of 1876 does not entitle
him to much consideration and may re-
suit in something of Hoadly boom. Still,
both names are essential to give the
Charm to the old ticket. That is what
gives Hendricks strength and is ell that
will gave him (if he is saved) from being
left out Of the triumphant canvass of
1884.

AN interesting Case.

A case OF interest to the old friends and
acquaintances OF the late Michael E.
Ames, Esq, came before Judge MoGroty
yesterday forenoon and was continued two
weeks. 1t is an application of G. f. Dana,
who has been appointed administrator
de bonis non, of the estate to sell at either
public or private sale certain lands in
Mile Laos county or about 1920 acres
and certain property in West st. Paul for
the payment Of creditors OF which Mr..
Dana represents himself to be one, he
having become assignee OF claims amount
ing to about ninety dollars. The petition
exhibits among other things that there are
no known heirs of Mr.. Ames excepting
Mrs. Josephine Ames, the second wife,
and child by her whose residence is IN
known. Messrs. Bresbin Farwell have
been employed by the heirs to resist the
application. The first wife of Mr.. Ames,
who will be recollected by the old citizens
of st. Paul especially, the professional
contemporaries of Mr.. Ames,is now living
in Massachusetts. A decree of divorce
separated Mrs. Ames from her husband
twenty years ago, with alimony and the
custody of one child, named for its father
M. E. Ames. The son, born in 1S4S at
Saltwater, is married, having two sons,
now with their grandmother Mary l..
Ames. The father is a afariug man.
The second wife also lives, having lately
re married, and is now living in New
York, both of her children by Mr.. Amss
being dead.

land in The United States. In majority

said they were bound to recogniZe the
Chinese government certificates, so, with
the exception Of five, all came ashore. The
City of Toxic, which ar
rived yesterday, brings III
more Cinnamon, all holding similar Chi
nese government traders certificates.
They we're questioned as to their occupa-
ton before being landed, but so
long as they stick to the assertion that
they are traders the authorities have no
help for 1t, but let them land. By their
answers it is apparent most of them have
been coached es to what they must reply

today. They let something slip which con-
denim them.Among to-day sarrivals are boys
eight years of age, holding students certiti-

tending. More women, claimed by resi-
dent Chinese as their wives, are slso

Prospect of Considerable Opposition 10 The
Return of Senator Allison.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

Prospect of Considerable Opposition TO the
Return of Senator Allison.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. 24.-There are GER
tain indications that Senator Allison will
not be returned unopposed to the United
States senate by the next general assembly.
Already there are premonitions of contest
but not sufficiently strong to Indicate a
struggle equal to the memorable event of
1872 when he was victorious over Senator
Harlan. 1t is said that the sage of
Mount Pleasant still holds in remembrance
the bitterness of that contest, and that he
is yet anxious to get even with the force
which overwhelmed him then. Ex-Gov.
Carpenter and Hiram Price, commission
or of pensions, are also mentioned as
probable candidates. Ex-Gov. John Il.
Gear is also talked of, and many think he
is the only one who could muster
a formidable opposition to the ser
ator from Dubuque. Tho Iowa
Democrats remember Gov. Gear with
gratitude, believing him to have been the
best Iowa governor since the early days.
The event OF his coming upon the plat
form before their convention at Barling-
ton and neatly rendering to them cor
dial welcome to his native city, is still
fresh in their minds, and now it is given
out that the ex-governor, if he needs it, or
would accept it, could have the united
support of the Democrats in the
legislature for the senatorship.
Seyenty-six votes are required to elect;
hence the addition of seventeen represent
atives would produce the result. But this
would require action Independent OF the
party caucus, which would be new thing
in Iowa politics, and doubtless fail. Then
Gov. Gear is not credited with that bold
ness of action necessary to the success of
szch q movement, He is also reported as
| doing we'll with his mining interests in
Colorado, and would probably not forsake
| them for political life without more gilt
| tering alIurement5 than a contest with
Senator Allison now promises.

COMBINING 1876 AND 1889

The New York Worl1 makes political
suggestion that is worthy of consideration.
Itrecognises the fact that there is a great
deal of serious discussion among Demo
Gratis on the subject of the sold ticket"
True, some opposition is manifested.
By many the candidates of 1876
ale regarded as almost essential to sue
cess. The proposition to nominate the
"old ticket is entersained by nearly every
one as Pc 'sible contingency, shaded in
many minds with speculation as to the
expediency of limiting the party to issues
involving the past when SO much that is
new absorbs immediate thought and chal-
enges public action.
Do not recent events suggest new
phase of the question, asks the World.
Why not popularize and modernize the old
ticket by the association of new ele-
ment? Why not impart to the ticket
something of the living present with Til
den and Hoadly? Why not combine 1876
with 1888? The World presents Judge
Hoadiy as candidate for the second place
upon a ticket with Mr.. Tilden in terms
that are discriminating and we'll deserved.
We quote:
The tribute paid to the character and ability
of Governor HOadley in the recent election was
well deserved. Since Salmon P. Chase passed
from the scene of life, Ohio has not called to
the head of its state government q man of great
er ability, purer character and more intellectual
strength than George Hoadly. His legal attain
lnents, supplemented by liberal views and a.
clear Judgment, have won him prominence at
the bar and honor on the bench. His genial
qualities and courteous manners have gained
for him wide popularity.
1t Is rot surprising that Governor Headlev's
brilliant victory under the most discouraging
circumstances should have sug <ested his name for
the first place on the Presidential ticket even to
those who we're not his most faithful supporters
in the recent state election. No citizen of the
united States is more worthy of the high posi-
tion, and there is none we would more gladly
see in the White House. He is true representa-
active of the progressive, modernized, liberal
lied Democracy of the present day. His past
record is made honorable by sympathy with
the struggle Of the oppressed. His present
record proves him the consistent champion of
the principles of individual liberty against in
tolerance and bigotry. Who shall say that such
man, able and honest, is not worthy to I'LL the
Office of president of the United States?

Cut in Rates Between Milwaukee and

Special Telegram to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, Oct. PA neat little rail
road war has just coma to light here
through failure of those interested in
the affair to keep the secret any longer.
A few weeks ago the general freight
agents of the Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and Wis
consin Central railways met in this city to
arrange for pool of freight business be-
tween Milwaukee and Oshkosh. The pool
fell through, owing, it is said, to claim
of one of the would-be poolists demand
ing so per cent. of the receipts when it
carried but about 3313 per cent.
of the freight between the two points. A
short time after it was noticed there had
been cut in the rates between the two
points which would have been affected by
the pool. The cut was met by the other
members of the triumviate,a and tbs siashing
continued until for the past 10 days freight
has been carried between Oshkosh and
Milwaukee for S cents per 100. The rep
resentatives of the various roads involved
in the knitting act when approached mani
fest no nervousness or anxiety for the re-
suit, but it is intimateG on authority that
g meeting will be called for shortly, when
arrangements will be made TO either pool
receipts or maintain rates. For the present
shippers continue to get the benefit.
