of Missouri, 2 from Georgia were cast
for G. ]. Jenkins, of Georgia; from
Missouri was for David Davis, of Hi
nois, and II were not counted-6 from
Arkansas, 3 from Georgia, and s from
Louisiana. Mr.. Blaine, it was said,
was broken down by the canvass.
He is not in the best of health, and,
like Mr.. Greeley, his hope of SO
many years being lost, it is possible he
may be seriously affected by it. He
has been reported sick since the elect
ion, and his strait ed nerves, undergo
ing relaxation, may be damaging to
his physical condition. Should he die,
as did Mr.. Greedy, the casting of votes
that would have been given to the
unsuccessful candidate will be mat
ter of indifference. Should the sue
cessful candidate die, then the ques-
ton would become really interesting
one. The electors would be left to
exercise that power which they abso-
lutely possess under all circumstances
that of voting for candidate of
their own choice, in regard to whom
there had been no popular expression.
But Mr.. Cleveland is vigorous, able
bodied man, in the vigor of perfect
manhood, and he is going to be presi-
dent. His election and Inauguration
will be sustained by the honest people
of all parties in the northern states.

An acquaintance narrated an ex-
perience in orr presence some time
ago, that we think will bear repeat
ing. Said he: "You cannot keep the
boys on the farm unless you give
them an interest in it. Measure off a
few acres of good ground for them,
and let them know that they are to
raise on it just what they please, and
that the proceeds are to be theirs
alone. Give them to understand at
the start that they are to do all the
work, and do it, too, in their spare
moments or idle hours. Allow them
the use of a team and farm imple-
ments, when necessary, but in all
other respects throw them on their
own resources, requiring them to keep
a correct account of all expenses, and
when the produce, whatever
1t may lie, is marketed to show them
how to strike the balance, and see
whit they have made. 81 tried this
plan" continued the old man, with
my two SONS, ard they stayed on the
farm until they had saved money
enough out OF the proceeds of the
sales OF their own produce to fairly
stock and equip the small farms, on
which they Eeeame first tenants and
then owners. We incline to the old
mans opinion-the boys should be
given IN interest in the farm; they
should Ieel that there is something
there that belongs to them; that is
really their own, to dispose of and in
vest the proceeds in the manner that
best pleases them. This would rem
der the farm more attractive and give
the boys stast in life.-Farmer's
Friend

Farm Tools.

There are certain tools on the farm
that should be kept keen and bright,
if we have any desire to do good work.
There are other tools, however, that
should have the edge taken from them.
The most important of these duh
tools is the tongue. A sharp keen
tongue viii often cut a cash in some
heart that time will hardly heal.
There is nothing that will take the
light out of farmers home so quick
ly as cutting speech from sharp
tongue. Many man has stabbed his
wife or children with cruel remark,
and then wished years afterwards,
that his tongue had been cut out be-
fore ne had spoken. Let us hold our
tongues down on the grindstone OF ex-
perience and take the sting away.
Man is the most important of all our
live stock, and he needs improving
with the rest,

Ironapa,inp Roses i'm The South.

The method of propagating roses is
very simple, particularly in the vicin-
ity of Charleston, S. c., Savannah, Ca,
or in almost any part of Florida.
There the long, heated summers raise
the temperature of the sandy soil as
high as the atmosphere of the winter
months, if not higher; in fact, a natu-
raj hot-bed. All, then, that is neces-
sary to do in such a case is to make
cuttings Of roses, either monthly, OF
hybrid perpetual, into lengths
Of ten or twelve inches, and
make trench deep enough to plant
them, leaving only one or two eyes or
buds above ground. Care must be
taken to firm the cuttings well in
with the foot, so as to exclude the air.
The cuttings may be set in trenches
four to six inches apart, and two or
three feet between the lines. Cut
tings of roses in this way, in these or
similar states, in November and De-
cember, will form roots by February;
and, if left to grow where placed with
cut being disturbed, win have made
growth Of from One to i've feet by the
following September, according to the
variety or class Wesleyan Advocater.

cold water. Then dissolve alum and
salt, each half pound, with a little
hot water sufficient to cover the skins
and then let then soak in it over night
for twelve hours then hang over
pail to drain. When they are well
drained spread or stretch careful
" over a board to dry. When
a little damp have one ounce
each of saltpesre and alum pulverized
and sprinkle on the flesh side of each
skin, rubbing in well, then lay the
flesh sides together and hang in the
shade for two or three days, turning
the under skin uppermost every day
until perfectly dry, then scrape the
flesh side with a blunt knife to remove
any remaining scraps of flesh. Trim
off projecting points; rub the flesh
side with the hands. They will be
very white and handsome, suitable fol
a door or carriage mat. They also
make good mittens. Lambskins, OF
even sheepskins, if the wool be trim
med off evenly to a half or three
fourths of an inch long, make beauti-
full and warm mitteDS for ladies Of
gentlemen, and the girls, with LITTLE
practice, can make them.

DoCToRING RETURNS.

The New York Herald of Novem-
Der 6 says: ave are informed that a
Western Union expert and an associ-
ated press man are constantly clo:eted
with all the reports from this state
and from Indiana, and that the mys-
teriously made dispatches which in
terpret all doubts and possibilities in
Blaine's favor come from that source.
These dispatches help the Blaine
journals to keep up their courage
little, but they can do no permanent
harm; for false report from the
Western Union or from the associated
press cannot change the returns
Again, it is said in the same issue
of the paper: There is trick
cry and dishonesty on foot in
the Western Union office and in the
operations of the Associated Press,
and the endeavor seems to be to lay a
basis for an attempt to steal this state
for Blaine by muddling of the re-
ports. For instance, Albany county.
which gave Hancock a plurality of
1850 has been variously reported as
giving Cleveland plurality of 1,400
or only 1,2C0. But the Associated
Press reports have sat upon these
figures for twenty-four hours and
now make them $50 for Cleveland,
with similar reductions at other
points. Perhaps they have been in
formed at what points Elkins' men
can "fix things

COUNTING THE NEW YORK VOTE.

The New York returns are to be
handled as follows: On next Tuesday,
November II, the election supervisors
meet in the several counties of the
state and canvass Inc returns as sent
in from the various votih g precincts
The duties of the county boards are
purely clerical, the supervising simply
consisting in counting the votes and
certifying to their accuracy and trans
hitting the returns, thus certified, to
the secretary of state. During the
month the state board of canvassers,
consisting of Secretary OF State Carr.
Comptroller Chaplin, Attorney Gen
eral O'Brien, State Treasurer Maxwell
and State Engineer Sweet, will meet
in the capitol and add the totals of the
county supervisors returns and there
upon the vote OF the state will be of1i-
cially declared, the state board issuing
certificates Of election to the chosen
electors. The secretary of state Is a
republican, while all the other mem
bers of the board are democrats.
These officers were elected in 1883.
Here is the very plain way in which
the decision. is to be reached. The
work is all purely clerical after the
ballots have been deposited in the
boxes, and the work Of the state beard
is merely formal summing up CT
figures.

THE CATTLE TRAIL.

The sentiment in the northwest in
favor of broad highway from the
cattle breeding grounds of Texas to
the grazing grounds of Colorado, Wy
oming, Kansas and Montana seems to
borrowing, and the st. Louis conven-
ton will be able, probably, to readily
agree upon some initiatoTy plan for
securing it. Texas Will be strongly
represented at the convention, and the
vo ce of its delegates will be or the
trail Texas cattlemen are vitality
interested in the measure; they have
invested in Texas lands and found it
more profitable to raise stock here
than elsewhere. The Wyoming and
Colorado breeders show some oppo-
sition to the measure on purely selfish
grounds. and may oppose the trail, but
the sense of the convention, accord
ing to all appearances, will Sc in favor
of the proposition. The Colorado
Live Stock Journal, discussing the
subject, says that the cattle handlers
in this country have learned by "prac-
tical demonstration that steer COM
ing from the Lone Star state will ma
ture, and put on one, two and even
300 pounds more flesh here than the
same steer would have done if kept
on his native heath And this will,
it is claimed, array those of Colorado
and Wyoming on the side of the
national trail. without this trail,
the cattle traffic as between the north
and south will,'' continues the
publication named, abe carried
on with much difficulty. The Cherokee
Nation are already kicking against
the passage across their lands, and the
settlers are fencing up the streams,
and there will soon be no alternative
but the IL. Then will the states and
the territories into which they may
come quarantine against the unload
ing of animals that are so fresh from
their feeding ground and liable TO
bring with them the germs of disease.
1t is our opinion that the interests of
the Northwest, as well as that of
Texas, demand this national trail. It
is of as vital Importance to this graz
ing country as is the Mississippi to the
valley through which it runs. Rail-
roads may go parallel with 1t, but
when the rates do not suit the shipper,
the bovine can take the highway, and
by slow marches leave the contagious
fevers in the southern cline ere he
reaches the green hills OF Colorado
and Wyoming"

Everlasting Fenca Posts.

A correspondent gives the Western
Rural his receipt for everlasting fence
posts. He says: II discovered many
years ago that wood can be made to
last longer than iron in the ground,
but thought the process so simple and
inexpensive that it was not worth
while to make any stir about it. L
would as soon have poplar or ash as
any other kind of timber for posts. I
have taken out bass wood posts, after
having been set seven years, that were
as sound when taken up as when put
in the ground. Time and weather
seemed to Lave no effect upon them.
The posts can be prepared for less than
two cents. Take boiled linseed oil and
stir in pulverized charcoal to the con-
sisUency of paint. Put coat of this
over the timber, and there is not a
man that will live long enough to see
it rotten,

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The Globe-Democrat saw Blaine in
his true light before the convention
presented him as the republican NOM
inee, and it did all in its power to pre-
Won't the party being saddled with his
nomination. It showed wisdom then,
but republicans refused to be guided
by its wise counsels, and the dem
ocrats were confronted with man
whom the fates had declared must be
defeated. 1t again shows its wisdom
in urging the adoption of con-
stitutional amendment increasing
the presidential term beyond
what it now is. The constitu-
ton makers were very much divided
upon the subject of the presidential
term. Some thought the Office shonld
be held for lite, arguing that, in this
case, the president, having nothing
more to hope for in the way of future
position, would do his duty more
faithfully than a man who was elected
but for term of years. This view
was naturally repugnant to the greater
part of the people OF the country, who
had seen enough of life offices under
the rule of the English kings to
want no more of them than
seemed absolutely necessary: Others
wished the president, like ;the
congress, to be elected every
two years, arguing that the poll
teal complexion of the government
should be kept as nearly in harmony
as possible. Objection was raised to
this proposal on the ground that there
would be too much instability in gov
eminent to promote the best interests
of the country's business, that domes-
tle pc well as foreign relations would
be unstable, since the executive EoC11d
becomes mere party puppet, executing
alone the will of party factions.
Again it was urged, that such short
terms would prevent the bestmen from
being made presidents. Against the
short term project there were so many
objections it was abandoned. Between
the life and longterm and the short
term advocates medium was at last
adopted, and four years was agreed
upon as the period. 1t was concluded
that four years furnished time suf-
ficently long for the executive to carry
out any pet plan that might be con-
ceived, thus stimusatiD~ the president
to activity in the hor seeing the
result of his labors, " on the other
hand the time was nc -ong enough to
encourage the occupant of the presi-
Dental chair to attempt the perpetual
ton of his power by improper means.
The time, as agreed upon, was there
fore a compromise between the ex-
tremists, and as such matters uusauy
are, was salts aetory to neither.
The next step in relation to the
presidential term was to elect presi-
dent for the second term, to keep one
man in office eight instead of four
years. We agree with the Globe
Democrat, that the experience OF a
large number of presidential elections
has satisfied most of those who take
an interest in the matter that some
may yet be- possible in
the regulation of the presidential !
term. The frequent recurring cleo
tions have mark d tendency to de-
range the business affairs of the
from the fact that the men
who buy and sell like 10 have some
assurance, that the course of policy

elect the president. As is known !
,hey cast their ballots for presidential
and these, forming what is
known is the electoral college, choose
a president and yice-president. A
state is entitled to one electer for each
representative it has in congress, and
one for each one OF the two senators.
Texas, for instance, is entitled to
eleven representative and two sena-
tors, and-she has an electoral vote of
thirteen. Each party names electoral
cand dates, and these ale voted
for, while the electors receiv-
ing the largest number of
votes are commissioned by the gov
ernor and are thus empowered to
choose a president and vice president.
The electors who are chosen and GER
tift meet in their respective states
on the first Wednesday in Deem Der
and cast their votes for the officers
named. AS matter of law the cleo
tors can vote for any candidate OF any
citizen qualified to hold The offices !;
they are not legally bound to vote for
the man whom they were chosen
to select. They are not bound to vote
for Cleveland or Blaine, but they viii

designated candidates; there have
been no instances where the voice of
popular will in the states, contrary
at least 10 the com bined expression of
states, has been disregaFded. Certifi-
Gates of the votes, cast by the electors
in each state, are then made out and
sent to Washington. These certif-
Gates will be opened in the presence
of the senate and house of representa-
tives, and counted on the second
Wednesday in February. The total
number of electoral votes is four
hundred and one. The candidate fol
president receiving the majority OF
these-that Is, two hundred and one
will be declared president. If no per.
son has such majority, then the
election goes into the house of repre-
sentatiyes, which is required to CHOOSE
president from the persons, not TX
ceeding three, who have received the
most electoral votes for president
In the house the vote is by states
each state having one vote.

Mistakes of Trainers

1. To think that anyone can farm ;
that man who has starved as can
vasser for patent toothpick or had
been an unsuccessful carpenter can
jump into a business requiring high
intelligence and persevering efforts,
and, being utterly unfamiliar with de-
tails, make money.
2 The idea that large farm, half
stocked and poorly cultivated, pays
better than few acres well and care
fully titled.
3. What is it but the worst kind
of mistake to pay hundreds Of dol
lars for improved farm machinery,
and allow it for want of proper shell
ter to rot and become useless year or
two sooner than it should?
4. It is a mistake to let year after
year pass by with no attempt to i'm
prove tbs quality of the farm stock.
Blooded cattle Fay. They make beef
quicker, the cows give more and
richer milk. Better blood in horses
pay. A Norman or part Norman colt
is a valuable piece of property.
3. To let foolish pride or narrow
minded prejudice prevent the acopt-
ing of new methods when they have
been proved by practical men.
6. To get up after the sun, lean on a
fork handle, speculate for an hour OF
two upon what the weather is going
to be, let the weeds get a good start
and then wonder why farming don't
pay.
Z. To leave a lot of >unchopped
wood wet or half-split wood at pile
lot of old harness hanging in the
kitchen, and muddy tracks in the
dining-room and expect to see the
woman folk good natured.
8. To have lot of half-fed, ema-
ciated, lonesome-looking fowls, roost
ing dejectedly in some old cottonwood
tree, when a few good, healthy Ply
mouth Rock or Brahma chicken!
properly housed would make thu
poultry yard an honor, instead of
disgrace.

The Growing of Grasses.

The grass crop is by far the most
valuable grown in this country, or,
for that matter, in almost any other;
and yet how many farmers are oble to
tel just what grasses are produced on
their premises and whether substitu-
lions could net be made which would
be Beneficial? The man who knows
all about the varieties of wheat, corn
and oats which he is growing is fire.
quently at sea in respect TO his pas
lures and meadows. This Is not to be
wondered at, inasmuch as our grasses
are so largely natural product, and
the selection Of seed has received so
little attention. However, it is IN
doubtedly true that increased pains
can be devoted to this department of
farming withfully as much profit as
to any other point.
