In one of the Western Territories the
people have governor whom the people
call dude Being governor of the
Territory of course he never saw his
principality until he went out to assume
the reins of power. 1t is one of the at
tractivc features of our system OF gov
erning the Territories that no one shall
be appointed chief executive who has
grown up with the place. The conse-
quence is that generally the governors
are unpopular. But this one is particu-
larly out of keeping with his surround
ings. 1t offends the honest miner to see
his fellowman wearing short top coat
an English hat and a small-very small
silk umbrella. 1t hurts him to see him
surround himself with pictures and other
objects of art And vet this governor of
whom | speak, and whom some of my
readers know very well, dresses and lives
in this highly offensive manner. Last
summer when the President was in the
West, he stopped TO see this governor,
and Mr.. Arthur, at that time looked a
good deal more like resident of the
frontier town than the governor did.
When the President was leaving, and
just as he was getting on his train, a
liberal minded miner approached him
and said: "Look here, general" and
then he pointed at the governor over his
shoulder with his thumb and winked,
why don't yer send us cologne bottlel"
At first the President looked at the man
very sternly. but after he got into the
car he looked out of the window for
some time, and, after studying the gov
ernor closely, glanced at the miner and
smiled

ARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD


Corn is not perfect diet for pigs. 1t
is deficient in albuminoids To correct
this we must add an article, says the
Breeders Gazette, that will make up for
the deficiency. For example, skim-milk
is highly heterogeneous and has nearly four
per cent. of true abuminoids. Two and
a third pounds of skim-milk contain as
much albuminous food as is found in
one pound of corn. But we cannot al
ways add milk. Linsecd cake, meal or
pea meal greatly increases the value of
corn as hog feed The pig kept in a
small pen, getting milk and table scraps
with little corn is noted for continued
good health and even development.

A market grower in the ncighborhood
of Paris has method of treating pot
roses which is said to ensure their flower
ing second time, with yigor and pro
fusion almost or quite cqualng the first
display. BY the system followed the
plants are subjected to Il forced rest as
coon a. the flowers fade, which is accom-
plished by keeping them under cover,
and for time almost entirely withhold
! ing water. In the course of month or
so they are pruned, shaken out and fresh
potted or simply watered with manure
water, when they start away into growth
{again, and bloom finely at the close of
the summer or early in autumn when
roses are scarce. In this way the plants
are in blossom at those seasons of the
year when the outdoor plants have either
not commenced to flower or are nearly
past, and are resting just when they
are least needed. 1t may be
thought that this treatment would
be so far exhaustive as to render
the plants of but little value for another
year, but we are assured that this is not
the case, and that scarcely any difference
is peIceptiblc between plants which have
thus bloomcd twice in the year and such
as have been allowed to recruit in their
own natural way. This, if true, is by no
means so surprising as it would be in the
case of many other plants as we know
some roses flower abundantly naturally
in the autumn, and push into growth
with undiminished vigor the following
spring. We see this in the case of such
kinds as the old Glory, Aimee Nibert,
Adam, Ceine Forester, the Chinas, and
others, which never under good culture
seem to get tired of producing bloom.
We also know that the class of Hybrid

groceries of the town or entirely unac-
custortcd to watchful and systematic
care OF live stock. The time given is
more chan made up in the time saved in
chasing them out of mischief, aad in
damage avertcd from crops grown for
sale on the table. Where flocks have
their full liberty nothing is more common,
beside being in all sorts of mischief, than
to see them hanging about the front door
of a farmhouse, on the piazza, at the
kitchen door, or in some other spot
where they are not wanted, or are dis
gushing nuisance. When confined part of
each day in rather small yard and re-
leased few hours they usually spend it
in lively exercise, and when through with
1t go to roost without making trouble.
Even from large yard they can be
proftably released frequently, as they en-
Joy change of scene; but to be at large
all the time without any food, or but lit
tie of it, is in my Judgment a pernicious
practice. Another objection to the latter
is the waste of eggs. Give the hens full
freedom and eggs are laid almost any
where, and often in almost inaccessible
places-under stables, where only dogs,
cats or sllunks can pcnetrate-in boxes,
barrels, wagons straw stacks, behind
woodpiles, in the grass where they are
trodden on or spoiled before being found
and much valuable time is lost in hunt
ing for them. In ahenhouse with proper
nest boxes none are lost from these
causes, and no time in hunting for them.

UndeveIopcd Resources of the Soil.

some years ago, being short of manure
to finish out cornheld, we had recourse
to quantity of decomposed muck, which
laid upon a ditch bank ad jacent to the
field we proposed to cultivate, of five
acres. OF this we proposed to draw out
some forty carloads and spread it over
two acres but could see no perceptible
difference in the quantity of corn pro-
duced on the land fertilized with barn
yard manure or the two acres on which
muck was spread. Afterward we grew
crop of wheat and seeded it down with
timothy in the fall, intending to- SOW
clover seed in the spring, which was
omitted. But, strange as it may appear
when the grass began to grow the sum
mer following on all the portion of the
field covered by the muck as handsome "A
stand of red-top clover appeared as if the
land had been carefully seeded, but on
all that portion of the field not so
muckcd no clover appeared whatever.
Wherever the muck had been dumped,
and the muck spread from the
heap in the center, the clover grow in
regular rings, following the exact line or
circle of the muck distribution, while
only pure timothy grew upon the field
Immediately adjacent, treated with barn
yard manure. When the grass came to
be gathered one portion of the field was
"A regular clover patch mixed with timo-
thy. The field was originally IA worn out
pasture field, and the heritage for years
had only been tivc-iingcr vines, mullcns
and thistles. The explanation would
seem to be that some years previous the
land had been seeded down to clover al
though not single spear of clover had
been seen on the land in ten years, and
the clover seed lodged in the ground had
not vcgctatcd for lack of the kindred
punishment found in the muck to de-
velop it. The land was of sandy clay
loan on limestone base. What it lacked
to develop the clover was blowing and
the muck dressing, which aftcrward re-
tanned its hold upon the land
for years. Now, there are fields
on many farms needing just
such treatment as we have described to
make them produce both good grain and
grass, but they never get it because the
land is never plowed or resccdcd. On
an adjoining field of fifteen acres we
were not so fortunate. Having been
several years in grass, it was plowed
and worked deep for corn; but when the
corn came up simultaneously appeared
all over the field crop of May weed,
which for time seemed to defy all at
tempts to work the corn. In fact, it re-
quired a harrow and two men to work in
advance of the com pillow to find it. A
tougher job we never engaged in than
the cXtinguishment of the May weed,
Il. A.. Il I
field, having been plowed under, had
never vegetated until we had plowed
for corn. All this trouble comes from
slovenly farming, or allowing crop of
weeds to be plowed under after the
seeds have formed. May weed is very
troublesome weed, but it never appeared
again after the land was we'll reseeded to
grass. - orange County Farmer.

pointees would have more than a mere
temporal interest in Montana if such
offices were filled by persons who are
citizens OF Montana, we must confess
that it offends our n of justice to call
every one a carpet-bagger who by virtue
Of such an appointment has come to re-
side among us. The term "carpet- bag
GER originated as a term of reproach to
those who went south soon after recon-
struction, with selfish purposes to play
upon, and we may say prey upon, the
credulity Of the newly made citizens of
African descent, and that they did SO in
fragrant violations of decency and right,
and in many instances in violations Of

see how the term can be applied to M

our own choosing, nor one of us in a
territorial sense, and in furtherance of
a system we condemn-to fill a position
assigned to him by the authorities in
power. The whole of the broad domain
of America is open to her citizens,
and they can go from n place to
another, as they may deem best to better
their condition, and why blame those
who have secured appointments to lu-
crative positions. Blame them, it need
be, for not discharging their duty. Elk
pose them if they. are guilty of fraud or
corruption. Hold them up to a strict
discharge Of their duties, but do not add
this opprobrious epithet; hurl your sar-
casm at the system. Do all you can to
change it, and then you will be consis-
tent. We say this without offering the
federal officials of this territory any of
our love. because they know as we'll as
we know hat we would displace them
by democrats if we could, but from a
feeling Of absolute justice.

IT is rumored in railway circles that
the Utah & Northern from Ogden to
Pocatello is to have a third rail, and is
to become a standard gauge, SO that the
cars running over the Union Pacific
can reach the Oregon Short Line via
Ogden. Heavily laden freight cars can
be run with less engine power in that
direction than over the divide at the
head Of Hams fork via the Short Line.
Also cars coming over the Central Paci-
fc from San Francisco can reach Boise
valley and further west from Ogden
without going around via Granger. We
would not be surprised should they now
change the grade of the Utah & North
ern as far as Garrison to a standard
gauge, in which case freights can be
taken to the northwestern country that
is pierced by the Northern Pacific

WASHINGTON LETTER Mr.. Blaine is
at present one of the most interesting
men in Washington, so far as politicians
are concerned. They do not exactly
make him out. He does not see zeal so
many visitors as the newspapers state.
For a man who is believed to still have
presidential aspirations, and has as good
a chance for a nomination as any one,
he is a strangely retired self-possessed
man. He has worked steadily on his
book in the midst of a siege of visitors,
who have sought to distract his atten-
ton. It is a specially favored mortal
who can draw Mr.. Blaine out of his
workshop and bedroom IN the second
story of the Marcy house, overlooking
Lafayette square, before two O'Clock in
the afternoon. The first volume of his
book will be given to the public in a few
days, d%isproying the predictions of the
politicians that there would be no publ
cation prior to the meeting of the June
convention. Mr.. Blaine closes his first
volume with the end of the Lincoln adj
ministration, and still holds suspended
over his contemporaries the second vol
ume, in which he will treat of living
men. The consequence is that all of
the great lights Of modern political life
are anxious to stand we'll with the his
torian, and are treating him very gently
and with the greatest courtesy. He is
as much an honored guest about the
social circles Of Washington as was
Gen. William Il. Sherman.
