Keep the Meal at Home.

DR. Hilgard was formerly Professor
Of Chemistry at the University Of
Mississippi and Gcologist of that
State. He is now, we think Professor
of Chemistry at the University Of
California, and had charge Of the
Chemical department Of the last cen
sus. lie probably knows as much or
more about agricultural chemistry
than any scientist now engaged with
the subject. In discussing the
question Of cotton seed vs.cotton seed
meal, DR.. Hilgard says, against the
use Of the former:
1.-The furze and hull constitute very
serious obstacles to the access, both
Of the moisture, which promotes de-
cay, and ofthe Footlets seeking nour-
ishment. 1t thus happens that when
the seed is used in such a manner,
that sprouting fails to remove these
obstacles 1t may lie in the soil for
twelve months with little or no
change; we shall find the hull almost
intact, with a black, shrunken kernel
inside inclosing all the Ingredients,
safe from the demands Of the growing
crop. An that it does the first sea.
son is to stimulate the soil by Gas
formed in fermentation, while the
most important portion has lain idle
and failed to bear its own interest.
This evil is enhanced by
2. The oiliucss Of the seed, which
materially obstructs decay the ker-
nel being as it We're, put up in OIL "
like sardinrs or olives, inside its hull.
As to the cotton seed he says:

the proper condition, and put in the |
right place. Manure, to be profitable, !
must have its Ingredients readily |
available, and must be capable of be-
ing readily mixed with the soil around /
and beneath the plant. The former
condition requires rapid and complete
decay, the latter a powdry of granu-
lated form. Both arc most advanta-
geousIy fulfilled in oil cake meal,
which contains substantially all the
soil ingredients Of theseed from which
it is made, except the small amount
in the hull and furze. The
)il carries with it traces only Of the
soil ingredients, and its absence is an
advantage, in so far that decay takes
place more readily and completely

Planting the Pear Orchard.

Apractical Grower gives his expert
ence in pear culture in the American
Agrieulturist for May:
Many trees that fail to grow have
been planted by careless or inefficient
persons, and to this cause can be at
tributed the death ofmost ofthe trees
which fail after they are set out in
the orchard. The frststep is to have
the land laid off with two-horse
pillow into good sized furrows( returning
in the same furrow to clean it out
and widen iD, twenty feet for stan
dards, aud fifteen feet for dwarfs.
When this has been done, with light
one-horse plow, draw shallow cross
burrows the same distances apart.
As soon as the marks are made, com
mence the planting. Before the trees
are taken 20 the field, have all bruised
and broken roots and limbs carefully
pruned with a sharp knife. Put the
trees into cart, wagon, or barrow,
and cover them up with bagging Is
the high winds dry them even more
than does the sunshine. In the mid
die Of the field, where it will be equal
ly convenient to all parts Of the
ground, have the trees hauled, and
also provide Il tub or half barrel, filed
with thick mud. just before plant
ing, immcrse the roots of each tree
in this mud, which viii assist in in
surfing the growth ofthe trees, caus-
ing the surrounding earth to adhere
to the roots Byadopjing this means
we have lost less than one per cent.
Of the large numbers Of pear trees we
have planted.

THE FAMOUS EXPLORER WRITES OF HIS
TRAVELS IN AN UNKNOWN
COUNTRY.

BosroN, Oct S.-A letter from Hen.
ry Nj. Stanley, dated at Stanley Pool,
Congo river, July IA, has been received
by personal friend in this city. Mr.
Stanley says
'Since | arrived on the Congo last
December | have been up as far as the
Equator and have established two more
stations, and, besides discovering anoth.
er lake, Mantumba, have explored, for
distance of hundred miles or there
abouts, the river known on my map as
the lkelembu, but which is really the
Maluminda. 1t is not as large as
stated in my book, but is a stream OF
the Arkansas, and is deep, broad and
navigable. The big stream which, ]
expect, must drain the largest part OF
the South Congo basin, must be higher
up.
"Having become better acquainted
with the country, am really struck
with the dense population of the equa-
torial part of the basin, which, if it was
uniform throughout, would give 49,000,,
900, The number of products and the
character Of the people are likewise re
markable. The gums, rubber, ivory
| camphor wood aud a host of othe
things would repay trasportation even
by the very expensive mode at present il
use. The people are born traders, anC
are, for Africans, very enterprising an,

The Treasury Ring,

1t lis evident that the Independents
will not fall into the line in behalf of
the old Treasury Ring. The following
from recent issue of the Delaware
county Record, Republican newspa.
per, of ability and wide circulation,
published in chairman Coopers own
county tells the story:
''The Humes act was passed at the
regular session of the Legislature, and
approved by Governor Pattison on June
9th, 1888. This act requires the State
Treasurer to file statement with the
Sinking Fund Commissioners on the
first business days of January, April,
July and October of each year, show
ing the balances remaining in the Sink
ing Fund in excess of the amonnt re-
quired to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt the commissioners then being
authorized to purchase State or FEEDER

act of May 8, 1874 provides that when.

Treasurer from sources of general re,
venue apart from amounts payable 10
the Sinking Fund shall exceed $780,
900, such sum shall be carried to the
account of the Sinking Fund.
"The report of State Treasurer Baily
shows that on August 81, 1888, exclu-
sive of moneys appropriated to the
Sinking Fund, s,S6S.l2 was dis
tributed among twenty banks through
out the State and further that no part
of the surplus over the contingent fund
of S500,000 was carried to the account
of the Sinking Fund, but this surplus,
amounting to Sl,5l8,S6S, ~, was loan,

Jan AND DEMOCRAT, BI OOMsBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA

toned IIumes act. At the last meet
ing of the Sinking Fund Commission
ers, comprising Secretary Of the State
Stenger, Auditor General Lemon and
Treasurer Baily, Mr.. Stenger made a
proposition that this large surplus should
be invested in pursuance of the pro
visions of the Humes act. Both Messrs
Lemon and Baily opposed the offer,
Mr.. Baily assigning as reason for his
opposition that to withdraw these de-
posts from some of the county banks
would cause semistagnation, il not
financial panic, thus cirtualiy confess
sing that these deposits ,oere interest
bearing, and as such, could not be
soithdra,cn ,cithom DIE notice. Where
and to whom this interest goes no man
knows save those of the Treasury ring;
one thing is certain, tie State does not
reap a dollar oft AT the low rate
of per cent per annum upon $4,7SS,-
S5S, the interest alone would amount
to $l9l, ,552 sum certainly large
enough to constitute an inference for
the reasons of opposition to the appli-
cation of the provisions of the Humes
act. This is plain statement of the
present status of the Treasury depart
ment, and certainly furnishes to the
average Pennsylvania taxpayer sufii-
cient of issue upon which to base his
judgment and cast his ballot The
jobbers who opposed the enactment of
the Humes act are well known their
opposition is spread upon the official
records of the State, and these same
jobbers, failing in their efforts to de-
feat the Humes bill, are now shame
lessly and unscrupulously endeavoring
to thwart aud circumvent the provis-
ions of this most wise and benefcent
measure This, then, we repeat is the
issue the only rallying cry of sturdy,
honest citizens must be Defeat the
candidate of the iobbers."

dale, Schuylkill county, ran foot race
of one hundred and twenty yards at
the Mahanoy City Park last Saturday
for three hundred dollars side. The
track was heavy and the time not good.
The start was made by mutual consent
and at the second attempt the men got
away well together. Heron won by
two feet. The betting was even and
very heavy, the booksellers alone hold
ing $1,000. 1t is estimated that at
least FIVE thousand dollars changed
hands. The race was we'll attended by
the sporting men of both counties.
