THERE is an absense of enthusiasm
at Birmingham, Ala, over the election
OF Mr.. Carlisle. Birmingham is becom-
ing an important center of iron pro-
duction- The local Democratic organ,
The Age, says:
IF the Democrats think a free-trade or
tariff for. revenue-only policy is best,
they are going against the wishes of the
majority Of the American people, and
will certainly find it out when it comes
to a vote ofthe people. So much for the
dark side of the picture. There is con-
ISOLATION on the thought that those who
nominated Carlisle will not be able of
themselves alone to accomplish the
sweeping revision and reduction fore
Swallowed in the success of the free, trade
faction. A decided majority Of the
members of Congress are against dis
turbing the tariff, and if the business in
6erests Of the country are embarrassed it
will be from apprehension.

DEATH OF A GREAT WELsHAfAN.-
"Hiraethog." (the Rev. Dr. Rees) a great
Welsh divine, described by The South
Wales Daily News as the most distin-
guished of modern Welshmen, died on his
S1st birthday. "He was" says 'Adfyer,'
In The South Wales Daily News, ''the
great central figure of Welsh literature
and Nonconformity He was emphatic
ally and in the highest and truest sense
a man Of the people as well as of the
pulpit. He wrote for them, he preached
to them, mixtd among them, and labor
ed with them. The present generation
of working-class politicians may be truly
said to have been nursed upon the knee
Of Hiraethog. The Welsh people we're
proud of him and fond of him." The
Western Daily Mail says DR.. Rees con-
tinued an ardent politician to the end of
his days, having dedicated some of his
English books on politics to Mr. Glad
stone, who, in his turn, looked upon him
as the true representative of Welsh poll
tics.-PaW Mall Gazette.

TCo Much WHISKY IN KENTUCKY
The whisky dealers in Kentucky are
Loaf d with more whisky than they can
we'll pay taxes on and the distillers have
been called to assemble on December y
to form a pool for the control of the pro-
duction According to the report the
distilleries of the statej produced $4,000,
900 gallons in 1892, and thus so COM
pletely glutted the market that only 6,
100000 have been made this year. The
Theory is that the demand calls for about
II, 100000 gallons of Kentucky whisky,
and that rigid restriction of production
will save many concerns from ruinous
loss.

A NUMBER of the late incendiary
fires in Milwaukee have been traced to
four boys named respectively Mofet
Finch, Willard and West, sons of promi-
nent citizens, They claim to have set the
fires for the fun of seeing the fire depart
ment turn out. 1t transpires that these
young offenders have been led to their
crime through the reading of yellow COW
cred literature and dime novels of the
bravado order. Another illustration of

CARLISLE'S UNIONISM.
WATERFOWL, WIS, DEC. IL.

The nervous democratic newspapers
are declaring that Speaker Carlisle was a
Union man through the war. Here is an
extract from a speech he made at Gym
thiana, Kentucky, during the political
canvass of 1876, the genuiness of which
is affirmed by the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette:
deny that the United States is Ma
ton. It is i vicious system that has
destroyed sovereign states and oppressed
100000 of people in the South. If q
state has no right of secession. she Ger
lainly has the right of revolution. The
Republican party want another amend
ment to the Constitution. Why do they
want it? Is it not that the Government
shall take the school fund into its own
hand, and appoint the teachers and series
of books to be used in the schools, and
your child and my child Edenied the
right to learn the alphabet except in such
books as shall learn them to forget Wash
ington, Jackson, Jefferson and the states
men OF Virginia and the South? The
most infamous order ever issued was that
of the Attorney-deneral only few days
ago, which caused sixty companies of
soldiers to march to South Carolina to
take charge of the ballot-box and over
awe the voters of that, poor dOwn-trodden
state, the paradise of carpet-baggers and
scalaways. But the day will come when
South Carolina will, under Democratic
rule, take her place beside Virginia and
other sovereign states, and rid herself of
the barbarous political buzzards of the
North that have fed on her carcass for the
last eleven years, and robbed white and
black without discrimination.

ScroTula.

This dreaded disease each year
counts its victims by millions. Though
in many cases a congenital or rather
hereditary affection, and therefore pro-
nounced almost an incurable one, yet
there is no need for the sufferer to des-
pair of relief or even of entire eradiction
of the virus which preys upon the con-
stitutiOn and saps the strength. The
march of science is ever onward, and
its triumphs are recorded at every step
in the history of the human race. In
no other direction have the researches
of those who love their fellow.men been
more laborious nor at the same time
have they been more prolific of results
than in the investigation of scrofulou:
diseases. These studies have produced
at last an almost perfect antldote fol
scrofulOus poison, in the form of Ed
ward Wilder's Sarsaparilla and Potash
and the remedy may be had Of all re

Hot Water for Sickly Plants.

A correspondent calls our attention
to the following from the Garden, and
inquiries whether there is anything it it:
"The Florist asks, has any one tried
hot water as a restorative for sickly
plants, and proceeds to say that M.
Willermoz some time since related that
plants in pots may be restored to health
by means of hot water. Ill health, he
maintains, ensues from acid substances
in the soil, which, being absorbed by
the roots, acts as poison. The small
roots wither and cease to act, and the
upper and younger shoots consequently
turn yellow or become spotted, ndca-
tive of their morbid state. In such
casey the usual remedy is to transplant
into fresh soil, in clean pots, with good
drainage, and this often with the best
results. Butlhis experience Of several
years has proved the unfailing efficacy
of the simpler treatment, which con-
sists in watering abundantly with hot
water at a temperature of about 1450
Fahrenheit, having previously stirred
the soil of the pots so far as may be
done without injury to the roots.
Water is then given until it runs freely
from the pots. In his experiments the
water at first came out clear, after
ward it was sensibly tinged with brown,
and gave an appreciate reaction.
After this thorough washing, the pots
were kept warm, and the plants very
soon made new shoots Immediately fol-
lowed by vigorous growth"
To our mind there is a great deal in
it. We know to a certainty thatsickly
peach trees are often restored to vigor-
Gus health by the old-fashioned Ger.
mans Of Pennsylvania by pouring boil
ing water on the ground about the
peach tree. 1t cools, of course, some
what before reaching many of the roots.
Here, however, it is believed to be
beneficial by destroying parasitic in
sects and parasitic fungi, rather than
chemically, as suggested by the ex,
tract. But, let the reason be what il
may, we are willing to indorse it as
good practice Gardeners Monthly.

Agricultural Value of Fertilizers.

The agricultural value of a fertili>
ger is measured by the crop it will pro.
duce, and must therefore vary with
the conditions under which it is placed.
The effect of fertilizer depends largely
upon the kinds Of crops, character Of
the soil, the weather, tillage, and
many other varying circumstances, so
that the crop.producing power of any
special manure can only be determined
in general manner, and this must be
upon a large number of trials in vars
Gus places, extending over several
years. All who use fertilizers should
distinguish between the two values
pointed out. In the market the three
most important ingredients of plant
food have established values, which
vary but little from year to year.
These substances may be worth more
or less than the market price to the
farmer as means of producing larger
crops. Until all the varying conditions
of soil, weather, etc., are reduced to a
certainty, no one can foretell the exact
agricultural value of any commercial
fertilizer. The farmer, must count the
cost in dollars and cents, estimate the
probabilities founded on experience,
and then try and know American

Notes by the Way.


observed in passing over the different
farming districts of the country is the
difference in methods and styles of farm
ing everywhere perceptible. Adjoining
farms frequently manifest all possible
differences in results growing out of
differences of effort, plans, and degrees
of energetic effort.
1t seems impossible to get some far
mers out of the routine methods which
they have inherited from their ances-
tors, following year by year the same
beaten track, and growing constantly
poorer and poorer until the only remedy
apparent to them is to pull up stakes
and strike out for new country. AT
the same time other men taking an
opposite course, exerting all possible
means for the improvement of their
farms, have year by year grown in
wealth, their farms improving contin-
ually, and no thought of running away
to other parts, for an improvement of
their condition ever disturbs their
peaceful slumbers.
The systematic Improvement of our
farming lands is the great question be-
fore the farming community. We have
in this State the very finest basis upon
which to build the largest agricultural
wealth. If all our farmers would act
as wisely as many are doing, within the
next decade the material wealth of
Tennessee would be doubled.
In passing over the country numer-
Gus illustrations or practical proof of
this statement present themselves
everywhere. What can he done by
all is clearly seen by what has been
done by many already. Some of the
very poorest lands have been redeemed
and made rich by judicious farming
during the past few years. One single
example will suffice for illustration.
|
A farm in Wilson county, long known
to the writer, contained some lands
that had been so much reduced in farm
ing value by continued exhaustion year
after year until they would scarcely
bring more than three or four bushels
Of wheat to the acre even in good
wheat year. During the last five years
these lands have been regularly clover
ed and Systematically alternated in ap-
propriate crops until this year their
yield of wheat, despite the rust and
other drawbacks, was near eighteen
bushels to the acre.
Here and there in almost every
community we find just such cases,
and it is the province of your excellent
paper to keep these things before our
farmers everywhere that they may all
be encouraged to go forward in the
work of improving their lands. Many
are not able to meet the necessary ex-
pense for the prosecution of these i'm
provements, but they will find by a
small beginning that the means for con-
tinued improvement will gradually
present themselves. Let the poor far
mer begin even on the smallest scales,
gaining step by step each year until
almost before they know it, their farms
are doubled in value and their condi-
ton correspondingly improved.
These are some of the reflections that
observations made in visiting different
communities have developed.
Let the matter be continually urged
until our sleeping farmers wake up tc
the fact that wealth Is within theil
grasp if they will only take hold and
use the means within their reach.
