few layers from the upper part Of the pile re-

the pile being anything but sound wood. The

which to rebuild their wood piles

Garget-Ropy Milk.

This disease is an Inflammation of the
milk glands, most commonly coming on
just previous to or Mt the time of calyinp.
but may appear with greater or less
severity at any time when the flow OF
milk Is abundant The symptoms are
enlargement Of the udder, which be-
comes hard, contested and painful; one
or both sides may be attacked, ard, on
pressure, hard cakes may be felt III the
udder, the teats sympathetically becom-
ing tense, painful and often nearly OF
entirely lmpervious. The milk, when
drawn, ls 1ropy, and if the Inflammation
goes on, n y become bloody and mixed
with matter. OF course, the object OF
any treatment Is first to allay the in.
iammation. For this purpose, battle
or foment the udder and teats in warm
water or warm soap-suds. II the organ
is very much swollen, support it by
means of bag or bandage passed over
the hind quarters, cutting holes for the
teats. In this bag may be placed a
llnseed and meal poultice, if the infam,
nation continues great. Ii necessary,
draw off the milk by milk tube, which
should be done three times day. Give
a purge Of half a pound of salts,
lessen the amount of food, which should
be very simple. without grain, and offer
very little fluid. If the glands remain
hard after Inflammation has subsidized,
rub with iodine ointment. The too
early and sudden removal of the cali
often brings on this condition. The
restoration OF the calf may sometimes
greatly accelerate the cure. If we in
terfere with natures laws, we must
sooner or later suffer the consequences.

How to Transplant.

There is no part of gardening that re-
quires more care and skill than the trans
planting of plants so as to retard their
growth as little as possible. As a pre-
iminary to this operation, the young
plants should be uncovered if 10 hot
beds and exposed to the full power of
the light and air, that they may be
hardened and ready for the change.
The ground about the roots should be
kept thoroughly wet for short time be-
fore the plants are removed, as this
causes the earth to cling to the roots
more firmly, and gives them life and
vigor. Most plants do better if trans
planted in cloudy or rainy weather, but
if this cannot be done they should be
set out at nightfall aud shieldedfo few
days from the direct rays of the sun.
The cavity for the roots should be made
large enough to admit of their insertion
without cramping or crowding together.
Let the soil around be thoroughly loos-
ened and pulveIized so that the new
roots to be formed will have a free
growth. When the roots have been set
in the cavity, pack some fine soil directly
about them nearly to the surface and fill
on top with itch loose earth. Water fire.
quently until the plants begin to grow.
By exercising little care, such plants as
cabbages, celery, rutabagas and toma-
toes may be transferred to the open
ground with no perceptible change in
their rate of growth.

The Political PhariseeS.

The forthcoming struggle for the
Presidency between the two great
parties will be too serious to allow the
little disconnected cliques in New York
and Massachusetts who hang on to the
Republican party In calm weather and
desert it in the storms to masquerade
as "Reformers" or Independents any
longer. Their only idea of reform is
not to make any change within the
party by aiding it, but outside the
party by assaulting it. Provided some
man is named as a candidate who is ac-
ceptable to them, they are ready to re-
form the party, if only they do not have
to associate with it. If the candidate
is not acceptable to them they go over
TO the Democratic party, whose only
doctrines are spoils and State SOW
ereignty, and vote for candidates who
they know will reform nothing.
There is but one title which fitlv de-
sCribes these gentlemen, and that is,
political Pharisees. Like the Phari-
SECS, they assume to "sit in Moses
seat" Like the Pharisees, they SAY
and do not" When Mr.. Curtis arose
in Moses seat he said he and his clique
were honorable men or they would not
be there as delegates to the Republican
Convention, but they are not acting
honorabIy. Like the Pharisees, they
make broad their phylacteries" that
the people may imagine they alone
carry the Republican law and gospel
on their breasts and that they are the
only guides whose counsel it is safe to
follow. Like the Pharisees, they "love
the uppermost rooms at feasts, the
chief seats in the synagogues, and greet
lngs IN the markets" Like the Phari-
sees, they make their own opinions and
pass them off as law.
Oatwardly they appear righteous
and within they are full of hypocrisy
and lniquity. II thank Thee that / am
not as other men are," is their motto
Not beng as other men are, they have
no honest utilization with other men, no
common basis of action with other men,
unless the other men condescend to fol-
low their lead and accept their de-
mands, which is in itself the essence of
hypocrisy. They are like the moral
little boys who played marbles with
clOIlS-Wnef ne WIS a young
ster. Storrs says that when the good
little boy won he put Storrs' marbles
in his pocket and went home; when
Storrs won, the good little boy wanted
to have his marbles back, and to play
the game over again. Like the Phari-
sees, they assume to monopolize all the
virtues, which have proved to be of
such Democratic sort that in 1876
they supported Tilden, in 1880 they
supported Hancock, and year later
they supported Butler in Massa-
chusetts. One would not have to look
far to find that Mr.. George William
Curtis is tho chief rabbi among the
Pharisees, and wears the biggest
phylsotery. In May, 1879, he examined

How to Use Poultry Manure.

A nobleman's gardener writes to the
Mark Lane Express that it is better to
use poultry manure as top dressing in
gardens than to mix it with ordinary
manure and dig it into the land; and that.
unless the quantity was large, it would
not make much difference on a farm.
Ii the quantity is small, the most eco,
nomical mode of using it is to put a por-
ton In an old cask, then fill it up with
water. In about week, stirring occa-
sionally, the liquid will be ready for APP
plying to any crops that need support.
In this form it should be given in the
spring or summer, when the crops are
growing, but not moving fast enough.
Half peck of the manure will suffice
for thirty gallons of water, and better
fertilizer would not be easy to find. 1t
Is good for vines, fruit trees, or bushes,
vegetables, and flowers that require ma
nurial assistance, its action beng quick
and its effects markedly beneficial.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR,
He Is Active in Behalf of the Republican
Candidates.

Washington telegram
The reports that the administration
is Indifferent to Republican success are
utterly devoid of truth. The Presi-
dent last week had q dinner of ten
persons, composed almost entirely of
special friends of Blaine. The pur-
pose of the dinner was to consult as to
the situation, and the President does
not need to give any Republicans any
further assurance that he will earnestly
support the ticket. The President and
some members of the Cabinet will at
tend ratification meeting in New York
or Philadelphia at an early day.
They would have been present at the
one here except for a misunderstood
ing.
The President having had his atten-
ton called to the report that the indie
pendents had solicited HIM to stand as
their candidate, pronounces the state
ment entirely untrue, and a White
House official suggested that, in view
of the fact that the Indeper Tents re-
fused to give the President single
vote at Chicago, any such offer would
be regarded almost as an insult Will
lam Il. Chandler will be particularly
jealous in Blaine's behalf
