There is nothing that brightens q
home 80 much, no matter how lowly-
or the possessor also-as love and good
nature.
Treat your wife as you did your
sweetheart and you will have q sweet
heart ell your life.
Lima beans must be tied to the poles
as they grow. The poles should not be
over eight feet high, for they
bearing we'll only after the top is
reached.
The best time to cut Canada thistles
is when they are in flower, the root
being then In it's weakest condition.
This cutting, while it of course will not
kill them, renders it less difficult to
destroy by later cuttings.
Prof. William Brown, of the agricul-
tural college at Guelph, Ont, says that
there is no line of the farmers work at
the present moment, even with wool so
low, that pays so well gives SO little
trouble, fewer risks, earlier returns, and
in most ways makes things SO comfort
able, as wool.
When a COW learns the trick of suck
ing herself she is rarely cured. The
habit may be prevented by putting a
girdle about the COW and a halter on her
head, and fitting a wooden rod from a
ring in the girdle to another in the hal
ter, making it pass between the fore
legs. She cannot then get her head
around to her side. But generally il is
best to fatten such a troublesome COW
for the butcher. -G Germantown Tele-

The small red spiders which infest
house plants may be destroyed by dust
ing them with fine Scotch snuff or sui
phur, or by dipping them in tobacco
water. The common Kerosene emulsion,
made by dissolving 4 ounces of soap in
a spoonful of k-erosene-oil and beating
all up until thoroughly mixed is q good
remedy for all the pests which infest
house plants, whether on the leaves or
in the soil at the roots.
The American Cultivator says there
are not so many good plowmen now as
formerly, in part, doubtless, a result Of
using the sulky plow, with which extra
skill in blowing does not count. An
other reason probably is, that few hired
men now understand the art of setting
q plow SO that it will run easily for
both team and holder. The pillow
should run level, the point neither Dig
cling downwards nor turning mp. It is
but the work of q minute to set the
pillow right for one who understands the
business. Good blowing is an art; bad
luck to the country should it become
one Of the lost arts.
Among the records Of the First
Church, at Roxbury, Mass, as given by
the lannon's Apostle Elliott, is an nc
count Of the rayages Of the army worm,
or as the old worthy called them, "armys
Of catterpillers, which devoured some
whole meadows of grass, and greatly de-
voured barley, being the most greene and
tender Corne, " etc. Elliott says these
worms were removed ION q suddaine,
through much prayer with fasting ia
divers places" The same means for re-
moving the pest are notnow resorted to
by awicked and adulterous generation, =
and thus the army worm plays havoc
occasionally.

The American Rhine

The total wine product of this country
last year was 81, 900, 900 gallons. Califor-
MIA furnished the bulk, with Ohio second.
Missouri third, North Carolina fourth,
New Jersey fifth, New York sixth. and
Virginia seventh. New York's Contribu-
ton amounts to 100000 gallons; but,
weather and other conditions permitting,
the yield bids fair to be increased bv
nearly million of gallons. The crop of
grapes last season in this state was unu-
sually large, and had it not been for the
early frost which injured a large percent
age of grapes in Ulster county and other
would have realized uneXceptionally large
profits. Much to their surprise, however,
agents of Canadian and Western manu-
facturers arrived and offered from S15 to
$25 per ton for these frozen grapes, and
this set the farmers a-thinking. They
reasoned that if the frozen fruit was
worth so much, then there was money
in grape-growing and wine-making. As
result, many small farmers along the
Hudson bought hand-presses and made
experimental tests. The results proved
eminently satisfactory, and hence there
will be largely increased acreage devot-
ed to to grape culture this year, particu-
larly in Ulster and Duchess counties.
Several experienced grape-growers,
yUbn hay-a A.
vineyards along the Hudson, believe that
the conditions for raising grapes and
manufacturing wine are better than in
any other part of the country, not even
excepting California. They believe that
with proper care grape culture can, in a
few years, be made one of the most pro-
fitable industries in the state. The soil
and climate are both favorable, and now
that farmers have had their eyes opened.
hundreds of acres on the hillsides, that
have heretofore been neglected, will no
doubt be laid out in vineyards, and in a
few years the shores of the Hudson will
have another characteristic which will
strengthen the rivers right to the title of
the American Rhine. What intending
grape-growers need first of all is to profit
by the experience of the California grow
ers, cultivate the best varieties of grape
and learn to properly grade their wines.
Some of the results obtained even thus
far are eminently satisfactory. A wine
made from the Catawba and Delaware
grape blended, grown in Ulster district,
has been submitted to some of the best
French authorities, and pronounced supe-
rior in flavor and body to the best Cali
fornia wine of the same grade.

the privileges and protection award
ed under the law.
To establish the principle, 'No
taxation without representation, "
we cut ourselves loose from our
mothers apron strings; we must now
in self-defence by measures strictly
peaceful and entirely lawful estab-
lish the principle, equally important:
ono representation without taxa
ton" Our constitution is confess
sedly bad, but much opposition is
excited to it's revision, because if
county officers are elected, in many
sections of the State, a class of vot-
ers will acquire political power
which they are utterly unable to ex-
ercise with proper discretion. 1t is
not that Democrats object to the
rule of the majority but that this
rule, in certain counties, would be
ruinous because of the passion, ig-
norance and political paejudices of
that majority. Give these counties
the guarantee afforded by q reason
able qualification to suffrage, and
this opposition to a measure necessa-
ry and just, will vanish ike the mist
before a gale.
We believe the best qualification
and the most practical will be gain
ed when the voter is required to ex-
hibit his tax receipt at the polls, but
any other effecting the same end
will do. We sympathize with our
fellow-citizens in these counties, be-
cause we have suffered from the
evils they fear, and we would give
them every possible protection, but
not even so good a governor as
Bloxham should be entrusted with
the autocratic power now welded
by the Florida executive. Give us
a constitutional convention and let
that give qualified suffrage among
other blessings.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1884-04-09

The Republicans of Georgia have
at last drawn the color line themsel-
YES. Gen. Longstreet once enjoyed
the entire confidence of the people
of the South. They had followed
him to victory; he had suffered with
them in defeat; he had endured
hunger and cold, disappointed hope
and the bitterness of despair in the
same cause with them. But when
he joined the horde of goddess plum
derers who disgraced humanity and
outraged decency to the ruin of his
fellow-soldiers and fellow-citizen he
had reason to abandon all hope, and
can only merit oblivion by hiding
his diminished head in some remote
corner of the earth. But what must
be thought of the party which once
boosted of Sumner, Horace Greeley
and their compeers when even the
apostate scorns it? 1t is the last
kick of the ass in the face of the dy-
ing lion.
