Miners in Distress.

Last Saturday evening about 40 colored work
men from all parts of the South, and especially
Kentucky, passed through the city en- route to
MitcheL, where they were to take the places of
striking miners Last night 15S of them re-
turned in freight cars to this city, tired, hungry,
and thoroughly Disguised. They reported that
fully 300 more were on the way to indianapolis
on foot, and it is expected that they will all
reach here sometime today. Superintendent
Lang received a telegram last night, before the
arrival OF the party, that they would have to be
fed and accordingly when the men put in an
appearance, each sufferer found piece of bread,
bologna and cup of coffee awaiting him at
Taggarts eating house. The report is that the
colored emigrants arrived at the mines and
found that the strikers had all been concliated,
and were again at work. The places promised
them by the managers were found to be filed,
and nothing remained for them but to return to
their homes. The men claim that they were
misinformed and badly treated. They are in
great need. and will have to be aided by the
public before they can return to their Southern
homes,

Agricultural Papers.
etc..

The farmers of the Western STATES
are blessed in having some good Agri-
cultural Colleges. We have none in
the East outside of New England. Our
Maryland Agricultural College is an
irony on the name.
Farmers must therefore mainly de
pend upon agricultural papers to keep
abreast of the times, and their families
bright and posted in their every day
business which wins for them bread.
Prof. Morrow of the Illinois Agricul-
tural College in recent paper on this
subject says,
ga good Agricultural Paper is the
cheapest, most convenient, and most
readily effective means through which
any farmer, young or old, can gain in
formation concerning many points in
agriculture, and keep himself we'll post
ed concel ming agricultural news. Undue.
ing tanners boys to read such a paper
is one of the most effective modes of
exciting or increasing their interest in
farming affairs. AS educators Of young
farmers those papers which give some
explanation of elementary principles,
much attention to practical details, and
careful summaries Of current agricul-
tural progress discoveries, experiments,
etc.-are most valuable, There are
more good papers of this kind than ever
before, and they are low priced. A
choice can be had between those which
cover wide field, and most excellent
ones devoted to some one line of agri-
cultural work, as live stock. Some Of
tie great news or political papers give
much of valuable matter about farming.

Parsley for Winter Use.

Lift few roots and plant them thick
ly in box or pot for winter use. An
old nail key whose sides are thickly
perforated with three quarters to inch
holes is filled with loan and parsley
plants introduced SO that a crown shall
be set in each hole and a lot of plants
on top. This is common parsley winter
patch, and may be kept in light airy
celler or room.
Fer a small home supply the kitchen
window may be made to do duty, by
planting roots in a window box. The
"curled" foliage has been greatly i'm
proved within the past dozen years, but
the old double curled is good Then
there is the moss curled, the fern leaved,
and the plain leaved. The latter is the
hardest of all, and the best to grow for
simple favoring.--Prorie Farmer.

we planted "a acres Of potatoes, be-
cause one six acres ofwheat was frozen

were building that year, and likely
to want all the money we could
make, we did not like to run the risk

land. Last year we had TO put in
"a acres again in order to get into

Science for Farmers.

The time will certainly come when
many farmers will see it to be wise,
not only to help their sons to such ed
ucation at home, but also to send them
to some one of the schools where scien-
ces which are intimately connected with
agriculture, aud also the applications Of
these, are taught. 1t will not always
seem doubtful to even intelligent farm
ers whether special education tor the
farm can be probably given in schools.

What is Manure?

A writer in the Country Gentleman,
in answering the above question says:
What is the difference, as far as ma
nure is concerned whether one plows
under crop OF clover as fertilizer for
potato or wheat crop, or feeds out the
clover to stock, and plows under the
stable manure? What difference there
is, is in favor of the former course, for
then the crop gets all the manurial
value of the clover, as the stock have
not taken part, and none has been
wasted in handln
So the manure from ton of clover
fed out can never equal in value the
clover itself properly plowed under. I
think few of your readers will diff r
with me on this point,
Again, dislike to say it, but hon
estly believe that more than half of the
liquid and solid stable manure, or ex-
erement from stock, is wasted, in one
way or another. Leaky stable floors,
over-hot manure heaps, cattle in fence
corners and lanes, or going long way
to water in winter, feeding on steep
hillside, barns close to creek, and a
dozen other careless things which one
cannot help but see if he goes around
much in the winter-go to prove this.
When clover is ployed under, all
tn o, losses are avoided. r 7.'5s, Y

Pear Blight.

This disease of the pear tree which
puzzled horticulturists so long has been
discovered by science, or diagnosed as
the doctors say. The disease known as
pear blight is a disease due to living
germs, which multiply by millions and
indefinitely in damp, decomposing veg
etable matter. When dry the germs
are carried up by the wind or ascend by
evaporation, in fog or moisture, and
lodging on the tender leaves or bark Of
the trees, take root as parasite, like
all the fungus family.
The preventive is, keep all decaying
vegetable matter away from the orchard,
or neighborhood as far as possible
Gather the trash of the farm into com
post heaps and cover with earth. When
the blight makes its appearance cut off
the branch a foot or more below the
tainted spot, and burn it. Do not force
the trees into too rapid growth by heavy
fertilizing, and place no dependence in
any kinds of washes, busting with lime,
etc.

How A Horse Feeds.

Something may be learned by OBJ
serving how horse picks up his teed'
either in grazing or when fed in the
stable. One will haye a very good
idea of the constituencies of the up
per lip, and how cleverly the horse
gathers in the choice heritage or hay,
and rejects the waste. This mobile,
prehensible lip is constantly in mo
ton, and by it's sense of feeling, sep
arates the selected food from that
which is rejected. The horse can
not see the heritage exactly under
the mouth, but the lip pushes away
the undesirable food, and gathers
with the greatest precision, that
which is selected from The rest. In a
weedy pasture, this instinct of the
lip is brought into action in q most
peculiar and interesting manner, and
exhibits in striking degree, the
exquisite sensitiveness of the deli
cate nerves of this organ. One who
has not seen this action of the lip
and realize the great seasitivenass OF
it, will never permit himself to pract-
ice the excessive cruelty of putting a
twitch about a horses upper lip 70:
any purpose, for the torture Of ii
must be very great indeed-Amerg-
tne Agriculturi.t tor November.
