MILwA JKEE Sentinel. Now that
a real election is to be held in At
lanta, and not a mere ceremony to
ratify the decree ola Democratic con-
yentlon, the question has arisen how,
under the existing regulations, the
vote on the prohibition question can
be taken. There are but two pre-
cincts, in one Of which over 5000
and the other over 1000 voters are
registered. How can so many votes
be received in one ballot-box is the
present subject of discussion. The
arrangement works beautifully at
ordinary political elections, where
the chief purpose is not to allow all
voters to vote, but to take care that
only enough Republican ballots are
admitted to keep up the show Of
party divisions, while a good round
Democratic majority is assured.
Bat in the approaching election on
prohibition the Democrats are di-
vided, and each party is sufficiently
strong and determined to insist on
having a real election. Prominent
white Democrats are enlisted on
either side, and they will not toler-
ate the usual methods Hence it is
proposed, in order that there may be
an opportunity for all the voters
to vote, that there shall be three
ballot-boXes opened at each polling
place, and the voters alphabetically
divided The proposition is a con
lessionaf the unfair methods which
have hitherto been adopted at elee
tons in Atlanta.

though some of those misses must
have been made deliberately One
would think no man could make
them accidentally, but only by care
full practice and with great skill.
The ordinary billiard thumper could
never have kept the balls from
counting in some of the instances
where the big players failed to count.
Howey er it don't seem reasonable
that so many players, who don't
like each other, could be induced to
90 into a fraudulent tournament.
A scheme Involving so many players
and their managers distributes a
secret among too many persons.
The probability is that the circum-
stances are peculiar, but not to be
taken as conclusive.

A WAsHINGToN special says that
a strong movement will be made to
revive the rank of General in the
army, in order that Phil II. Sheridan
may be promoted, and that Hancock
may be made Lieutenant General
before his retirement, which will
occur in 1883. No general officer in
the Union army, except Grant and
Sherman, rendered better, more
arduous or more faithful service
than General Hancock. 1t was ex-
tremely foolish for him to be a
Democratic candidate for President,
and while he was a candidate, he
showed his entire unfitness for a

Starting The Orchard.

1t is now high time for those VINO
contemplate setting out orchards to
make their selections. On this mat
ter We have one piece OF earnest ad
vice and exhoriation, and that is, in
brief, do not touch anything from ire
sponsible nurseryman. Send to some
we'll known, reliable and conscientious
dealer, explain to him fully your loca-
ton, soil exposure and latitude, and
then trusthi judgment and follow his
advice in planting. Don't buy Rus
SANS because they are Russians, unless
you want to experiment for the benefit
of the public There are Russian va
rieties that are all right. Trust to your
nurseryman to tell you which they
are. There is no branch or business
in which there is such an opportunity
for swindling as this, and the trouble is
that you do not know that you are
,windled for years. Hence the neces
,ity of dealing with no man for nursery
stock unless bis character is above
,uspicion. We have an orchard or
one farm that we shall have to cut
down and start anew, because it was
planted by the former owner with
worthless truck, Just because it could
be had cheap.-I0Wa HOMESTEAD.

Hints In Horse Keeping.
American Agriculturist. ]


Treat all horses kindly. both 10 and
out out of the stable. Give them clean
beds at night. Use the cuny-comb
lightly, otherwise it often is a source
Of great pain, especially to thin-skin-
ned and nervous animals. Let the
heels be well brushed out every night.
Whenever a horse is washed, never
leave him until he is rubbed dry; he
may get chill if neglected. When a
horse comes in from a journey. hot
from over-driving or work. walk him
about until he gets cooled off, then
groom him with straw and a good
brush, and rub his legs well with the
hands. If possible. let the horse have
some exercise every day; standing in
the stable is conducive to dry and
cracked feet. To cure or prevent this
tiouble, use beef-brine turned into the
bottom OF the upllfted foot, and an
ointment for the hoofs made OF hogs
lard. Water regularly, but not too
soon after feeding; feed literally.

Home and Farm
Keeping The Boys On the Farm.
New York observer,l

In treating of the home-life of the
farm nothing is more common than
the complaint that the best and bright
est of the youth manifest an unwill-
ingness to follow the occupation of
their fathers and go otto swell the pop
ulatiou of the towns and cities. Prob
ally this tendency has been exagera-
ted, for we are sure the young farm
ers of to-day are as intelligent and pro-
gressive in their views as any genera
ton past. But this could not be if II
were true, as represented, that the best
element had gone to the towns. The
statement has sufficient warrant,nev
theless, TO merit serious consideration.
The question is. whether in the sur
roundings and appointments of farm
life sufficient allowai &c is made for The
natural wants and tendencies of the
Young. Is there sufficient pains taken to
render the surroundings attractive, and
10 furnish a reasonable amount ofthat
diversion from regular pursuits which
the youthful nature demands?
No doubt very many are led away
from the quiet walks of country life By
IN unhealty craving for change and en-
element, stimulated in many cases by
pernicious reaalng and rose-colored de-
scriptions oftown-life. Others with bet
ter reasons have been impelled to a.
bandon the occupation of their fathers
by that sys EN- of drudgery and dull rou-
tine too often in practice on the farm,
and under which young, sprightly and
elastic spirits feel that they are I'M
necessarily repressed andcircumscribed
Without going over ground on this
subject that has been repeatedly trav-
ersed by others, We may say that In
order to keep the boys on the farm
every thing should be done within rea'
sonable limits. that means and Gil.
cumstances will permit, to cause them
to feel and believe that the pursuit o
agriculture is as honorable and emo
bling as any they..may choose;that it OF
fers as many opportunities as any othe

heart, and for the development of ths
best and noblest tendencies oftheir ma

If they so desire, they may keel

even though they live outside the bus
haunts of men. They should be led t,
hook upon agriculture not as pursui
governed by chance laws, where Their
is no opportunity for introducing ne'
methods. and systems, for research, eS
pertinent and progress, but that no de
partment OF human effort to day offer

An Orchard Fertilizer.

The best fertilizer / ever used for
fruit trees is made OF chip-dirt from the
wood-pile, and old ashes. I mix in the
proportion OF one bushel of the ash's
to three of the chip-dirt, stirring well
with the shovel. About two bushels of
this mixture is to be spread around
each young tree, giving large, we'll
grown trees more. The manure is ap-
piled at any season. Do not pile arounc
the trees any litter OF rubbish that would
harbor mice. In summer keep the
weeds from around the trees. Expert
ence has taught me that this fertilizer
serves very important purpose, not
only in supplying the trees with suita-
bic food, but in mellowlng the soil, and
helping on such crops as l may choose
10 plant in my orchard. 1t is an excel
lent fertilizer for any crop. annual or
perennial, and the ashes from hard
woody, supply the trees with the ele-
nent they most need, and the soil
lacks, namely, potash.
1t is pleasure to see how a young
orchard will thrive after an application
of this fertilizer. Sometimes l burn logs
to get ashes for this purpose, and if l
have no chip-dirt, go TO dead oak or
hickory, and scrape together the fallen
bits of bark and the rich earth around
the trees. 1t is very good substitute
for the oh p-dirt. It's obvious that this
material is rich in the element of food
of trees. Ibelieve In keeping fruit trees
well fed, and that large space around
each tree should be given exclusively to
the tree from which to draw its supplies.
/ never plant close to my trees. prefer
ing to have them branch low. and to
trim down rather than up.-Ameritn

How to Preserve Eggs.
