FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Many good cows are spoiled by al
lowing them to sleep out some warm
night on the ground before the frost is
all out. Be careful to keep the COWS in
at nights until the ground gets warm.

-Cocoannt Drops: One pound of
grated cocOanut, one pound of pow
dered sugar, a scant quarter of a pound
of flour, and the we'll beaten whites of
six eggs, Mix well, drop from spoon

little fires hseed and manure occasionally,
and the keeping down of all alien

Using Tablecloths: A good way to
make use of old red tablecloths which
are no longer suitable for the table, is
to cut them in good-sized pieces and
| keep them in drawer in the pantry,
and on baking days bring them forth to
| lay the warm bread, or cookies or cakes
upon. They may take the place of
towels in many other ways, and prove
a substantial economy.-Erchdngc.
An exchange says: Have a shelf
made at a proper height from the floor,
with holes in it large enough to allow
buckets to 90 half way down. Feed
either milk or ground feed in buckets
and set them in their holes, and the
calves can not either turn them over or
put their feet in them. There should
be Il bracket to every calf in the pen,
so there will be no crowding and all
can get their shares.
Squash Biscuit: Use canned squash,
or the fresh vegetable, peeled and
steamed; rub the squash through col
ander with potato masher; to each
pint Of squash add a tablespoonful OF
melted butter, palatable seasoning OF
salt and pepper, two eggs beaten to a

SPRING SEEDING.
rhe Advantages of Seeding for Grass in
the Spring Time.

The stocking of cultivated fields with
grass and clover seed in the spring was
almost universal in this country fifty
years ago and more. 1t was accom-
panied very generally with the sowing
of oats, or barley, the grain being
ploWed or narrowed in, the ground
leyeled with a bush-harrow, and tho
grass seed sowed upon the surface. i'm
mediately following the bush. Some
times the ground was gone over again
with the bush or roller to give a slight
covering to the seed, and to firm the
surface. The two crops upon the same
soil in one season was thought to be
economy of labor. But there was al
ways a serious objection to this prac-
tice. The oat crop. if it was stout,
smOthered the grass and clover, and if
drought came on soon after the oats
were cut, most of the grass withered
and there was said to be poor catch"
of the seed; the work must be done over
again Not few old-style farmers still
follow this method of seeding. In
later years, progressive farmers have
experimental with early fall sowing of
grass and clover without any grain
crop. There should be previous ro-
tation of corn, or potatoes, or other
hoed crops, with abundant fertilizers
from the stable and deep blowing and
a thorough fining of the soil with the
harrow and firming Of it with the roller.
This work, if done in September, rarely
fails to give satisfactory catch of the
seed, and to make a thick, heavy sod
the following season, and to bring a
permanent meadow, that, with Occa-
sional top dressing may be kept in
meadow for long series of years, al
ways provided that there is but one
crop of hay cut in the season, and the
aftermath is not grazed. The main OBJ
lection to this practice is, that it comes
at time in summer when the teams
are not at their best, and wanted for
more pressing labors in other directions.
There is IA strong temptation for farm
ers OF limited means to, delay the fall
seeding, IL they approve OF it, until No
vember, when the young grass and
clover Just starting is liable to be
thrown out 10y the freezing and thawing
and to perish. The late fall and early

for blowing, and a thorough prepare
ton of the soil for seeding. The more
of this that can be done in a season OF
comparative leisure the better Seed
sowing ut this time is not a safe prac-
tice in this latitude. But in the early
| spring, when the frost is out, and the
ground is sufficiently dry for blowing,
sow the grass seed and give it the bene-
fit of the whole season to make roots
and lay the foundation for meadow.
This is not likely to be done with a
grain crop sown at the same time. 1t
can not be done upon our long-abused
soils without manure and thorough
preparation. The stirring and mellow
ing of the soil is n substitute for MA
nure only within limits easily reached.
The best results are to be gained with
liberal application of fertilizers aud .
thorough preparation of the SOIL.

Her Widowed Affections Said to Have Cen
tered on Pennsylvania Minister.
The Presbyterian congregation at West
field, Lawrence county, Pa, was surprised
and delighted this week to learn that their
pastor, Rev. William NJ. Taylor was to be
married to the widow of President Garfield.
He is about so years of age, with black hair
and whiskers slightly tinged with gray. His
eyes are sparkling and he is of medium
height He is son of ex-Judge Taylor, OF
Lawrence county.
Mr. Taylor became acquainted with Mrs.
Garfield many years ago His first wife was
Miss Packer OF Hiram, o., who was an intimate
friend and companion of Mrs. Garfield. They
Went through Hiram college together and
graduated IN the same class at the time Pres
ldcnt Garheld was at the head of that institu-
ton. After both had married they kept up
a friendly intercourse, and, by this means,
Mrs. Garfield and Mr.. Taylor became ac-
quainted. one year ago last July Mr.. Taylor
and wife visited the parents of the latter at
Hiram, o. While there she died suddenly
of heart disease. Mrs. Garfield extended her
sympathies on the sad occasion, and she and
Mr. Taylor frequently met thereafter ON the
occasion of his visits to Hiram.
Mr.. Taylor now visits the home of Mrs.
Garfield frequently, and in delicate way
his congregation have been made TO under
stand that the marriage will take place some
time during the coming summer. The
groom, while not AN eloquent preacher, is q
man of scholarly attainments and much en-
deared to his congregation.

The Legislature Should Wake Up.

We have called to the attention of the
Pennsylvania legislature the fact that the
Pennsylvania railroad has entered into an
agreement with the Baltimore =. ONO
railroad comran, whereby bituminous
coal Is carried to the Pennsylvania con-
sumer at greater charge for the distance
traversed in Pennsylvania than that which
is charged for carrying it through Penn
sylvania to the consumer outside of
Pennsylvania.
And this, Notwithstanding that the di-
rectors of the Pennsylvania railroad have
caused to be published resolution which
they declared they had passed, in refusing
to join the anthracite coal combination,
which resolution substantially declared that
the Pennsylvania railroad company would
combine with no one to control the natural
laws of trade.
We call upon the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture to inquire into the apparently direct
contradiction in this practice and pro-
fession of the directors of the Pennsylvania
railroad, when the only difference in the
situation is in the kind of the coal that is
plexion of the OK that is to be gored.
The legislature is advised that the coal
producers served by the Pennsylvania rail-
road are forbidden by it to sell coal to
Philadelphia consumers for less than 81. 90
for 2,240 pounds. Of this sum s22i cents
goes to the railroad for carrying the coal
to Philadelphia from Clearfield county, a
distance of $50 miles from the central
point at Phillipsburg.
But for carrying this coal the same dis
tance to the port of Philadelphia, to be
shipped thence to other points, the freight
charge is but sl.4O per 2,240 pounds.
The difference of 81 cents is charged ia
the Pennsylvania consumers. The out
slider gets the lower rate because of the
compact between the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad companies
which have legislated outside communities
! into the situation of favored customers
These carrying companies have determined
that it is right that communities distant
from the coal field shall have coal carried
to them at a low price to make up to them
the disability which the Almighty has i'm
posed upon their land.
But what does the Pennsylvania legisla,
ture say I?
Shall Pennsylvania get no benefit from
the rich deposits of ore and oil and coal in
her bosom, and shall the people of other
states have them borne to them at less pei
ton per mile than Pennsylvania people :
Shall Pennsylvania railroad directors be
Pennsylvania legislature, in fact or will
tae peoples chosen representatives defend
their functions ?

HENRY IRVING raises his voice in behalf of
the dramatic profession in his recent address
to the Harvard students, and the soundness
of its ring is without question. For some
occult reason this walk of life has been under
the ban, yet in no path save that of literature
can one man minister more largely to the
pleasure of his fellow beings than in this.
We hear people say when bright young
man goes on the stage "what pity" little
rejecting that in the mimic world in which
he takes his part he may preach many an
excellent sermon, driving carking care from
many weary heart. II is time, as Mr..
Irving says, to look upon the dramatic pro-
fession with the same eyes that we use TO
inspect other callings ave do not claim TO
be better than our fellows in other walks OF
life We do not not ask the jester in journa-
lism whether his quips and epigrams are
always dictated by the loftiest morality; nor
do we insist on knowing that the odor OF
sanctity surrounds the private life Of lawyers
and military men before we send our sons
into law and the army. 1t is impossible tc
point out any vocation which is not attended
by temptations that prove fatal TO many y
Give dramatic art chance. Its capacity fol
amusement combined with instruction is wei
nigh boundless.

No FOOling.

We understand that some Of the over
smart Republican members of council, who
are anxious to make change in the head
of the fire department, hope to steal a
march on the supporters of Mr.. Howells
reelection as chief, by enticing them at
some stages of the balloting to give CON-
plimentary votes to another candidate.
1t will be just as well to have it under
stood in advance that the organization of
the fire department on non-partisan
basis, for the best protection of the lives of
our citizens and of the property and bust
ness interests of the city, is serious mat
ter, not TO be tritled nor fooled with.
Those who favor the retention of the
present organization do so without regard
to politics; they are confined to no partic-
ular party, and seek no partisan adyan-
tage; IL the department is to be disorgan.
ized they will wisely avoid all response.
