NOTES.

To make the best and most nutritious
hay the moved grass shoUld not be allowed
to become too dry before being put up
When it rst,les a great deal OF its nutri-
ment is lost, and it Will not make as coed
feed as it otherRise would. The greener
it can be put up the better. Hay harvest.
ing requires considerable intelligent coz
sideration, and the farmer that gives it the
most attention is the one that will win.
Some one las inquired how best to re-
move pollen from brood combs. Let the
bees remove it. AS your colonies require
more combs give them enc or two Of these
at a time, placing them between frames OF
broods, when they will be quickly and
thoroughly cleaned. The bees will con,
vert it into brood. If the pollen is very
hard soak the combs awhile before placing
them in the hive.
Sheep should have good shelter to run
under at al seasons. They need it during
the long cold rains Of autumn fully as
much as any ether animal on the farm
does. They get soaked to the skin during
these long rains, sud in that condition
suffer great discomfort. which always tells
on the flesh and general coalition. Sheds
for this purpose are easily and cheaply
constructed in the pasture or field, if it Is
not convenient to lei them up 10 the stable.

riss very noticeable fac! that the Re
publican papers Of the State take great
care to publish all the statements made BY
Mr.. j. NJ. Mason. What is the cause oi
this strange phenomenon This is Ger
tainly & very important question. If hi;
is good Democratic doctrine, Republican
papers are very kind in giving them vide
circulation, while Democratic organs are
deserving Of eensure fer neglect of duty
Surprising that the contrary is true, would
this explain the existing phenomenon
The matter is worthy Of thought.

PAREERsBURG. October lS.-Mr. Henry
Msyberry, the euterprising ard energetic
steamboat agent of this city, has perfected
arrangements with the Ohio River and
Ohio Central railroad companies for
through passage rates from Wheeling and
Parkers5urg to Gallipolis, Point Pleasant
and Charleston. The rate from Wheeling
to the Capitol City is So. 60 and from Par
kersburg $3.50. The river arrangements
are with the popular fayorite side-wheel
steamer Minnie Bay, which leaves here
for Galipolis 8 o. NJ daily. Satisfactory
arrangements have also been effected and
fair rates for freight. Arrangements will
probably be made 10 ticket passengers
through to Huntington, I~rontou, Ports

Erastus Deem, an old citizen of Wood
county, from the vicinity Of Rockpo.t, ar.
rived here on Tuesday evening about dark,
aud being a little full he went to Mollie
Woodvard's ranch, on Neal street, and
spent the night With the gentle
Molie. Morning dsWGed, aud with
daylight came the knowledge
that he was minus Si2 50 which
his wallet contained when he retired with
the fair cyprian. He demanded his money
but was told BY the girl that she knew moth
ing Of his cash. Deem went before Re-
eorder Conley and swore out o warrant for
Mollie woodward, Dan Penley and others
who had visited the oagnio during the
night. The case is being heard by Re-
corder Coniey at this wiring. VIM Baird,
attorney Of Elizabeth, is looking after
Deems interest in the matter. The case
excites some interest, and the court room
is crowded. The police force have been
fortunate in securing the whole batch Of
witnesses, who viii be apt to throw all
the light necessary upon the csse 10 con-

1T ought to be clearly demonstrated to
the Investigating Committee that it can
not compel the attendance Of witnesses.
Only those who are willing to present
themselves are all the CO nmitt.e need ex-
pect, and from the number who have put
in an appearance it seems there are
gery few that care to testify.
Under the circumstances it looks as if the
investigation is going to Be the greatest
burlesque that was ever imposed on the
taxpayers of the city. The part about 1t
that will be most serious 10 its character
will be the footing of the bills. Before it's
through there viii be ten TO fifteen hundred

Startling statistles.

The Superintendent of the Massachu-
setts Reformatory Prison has compiled
some startling and instructive statistics
in regard to the drinking habits of the
female prisoners in that institution. 1t
appears that, out of 200 degraded
women, 12S began their ruiuOus career
with beer, 81 with whisky, 20 with wine,
8 with gin, Ninety-one began at the
house of friends. "a in saloons. Many
of these women began drinking while
employed at the mills, i'm the neighbOr-
ing dram-shOps, Beer had been the
most common drink at first, but l8l
had got to use whisky as their tavorite,
and some added chlOrotOrm to make
the whisky hotter One strong point
brought out IN the recitals Of these
wretched women was the sense OF utter
hopelessness as long as they were com
PEELED to meet the ceaseless enticements
of the bar-room and gin-palace.
The statements of these women
showed what an appalling amount of
tippling goes on even where there are
no overt signs of actual intoXication.
This tippling is practiced by great num-
bers of women. What many affect 10
think mere harmless indulgence is the
prolific source of the more developed
evils. In a recent article in the London
Lancet this noteworthy statement IS
made:
alongside of all the teetotalsm that
exists, there is an appalling amount Of
tppling that does not distinctly intOu-
cato, but saturates the principal organs
and destroys them more quickly than
would an occasional d8bauoh. IA X,

FOR THE CHILDREN.

The beginnings of Drunkenness - It's
Fearful End-The Pledge for Boys and
Girls.
Do you know, children that the most
terrible evil in all Che world is drunk
enness? that it causes more woe and
wickedness than all the other evils
combined? 1t ends in poverty, misery,
shame and death. Yet its beginnings
lie in the beautiful, sparkling wine, the
innocent, apparently harmless, sweet
cider. Wine has been compared to a
serpent which glides so quietly through
the grass that you never suspect its APP
proach, nor fear its coming, until its
deadly fang has stung you and there is
no hope. Little children, as soon as
they can write, should sign the pledge,
for if they never touch cider nor beer,
nor wine there is no danger of their
ever being drunkards. A little boy hap
pened to be near the gallows where a
young man was to be hung. As he
stood there the sheriff said to the man
who was to die: ''YOu have only five
minutes to live; if you have anything to
say, speak now" The young man burst
into tears, and said: Il have TO die! 1

In making floor oilcloth the process

first sized, which is done by treating Il
to a saturation of dissolved glue. Il
passes then through fifteen heated wire
rollers, which not only dries it, but
presses the glue water into the porous
material and removes all inequalities OF
surface. 1t then passes to the paint
rooms to receive its first and many sub

gredieut of which is Ochre. The paint
is literally put on, aud the cloth, after
passing under a roller to press out SUI

through a room in which are heated
steam pipes After remaining on the
racks a prescribed number of hours the
cloth is run through a machine where
it is pumice-stoned down to a perfect

The Process by whlcb Posts Are sEndo
TndestruCtible

The Process by Whlch Posts Are Made
Indestructible.
In agricultural and other journals
thirty or forty years ago, much was said
of "Kyanizing," a process by which
wood is rendered insusceptible Of decay.
How long the process had then been
known, the writer is unaware; in the
United States Patent Office report of
1861, it is stated that Mr.. Ryan, of En-
gland, endeavored many years ago"
to have it generally adapted as a means
of preserving ship timber Originally,
a solution of corrosive sublimate was
forced into the wood, but other and less
expensive agents were afterward en-
plOved with equal success. Sulphate of
iron, or COpperas, sulphate of copper,
or blue vitriOl and chloride of zinc are
some of the chemicals thus used The
philosophy of the process is, that the
albumen contained in the wood, a sub
stance similar in properties TO white Of
I egg, possibly iudentical with it., and
peculiarly liable to decay, is converted
/ bY the chemicals into an insOluble com.
pound very much as the albumen or
| gelatine Of hide is changed in the pro
cess of tanning. Thus rendered insolu.
ble, instead of being, as before, an in
citing cause of rotting of the woody
\ fibre, it surrounds and protects every
cell and particle with waterproof in.
destructible coating, and so prevents
decay.
On the Slater farm at Greece Center,
is board fence built in 1852, the posts
of which were Kyanized There was a.
that time an establishment in Rochester
where the process was carried on, but
by whom, or how long a time, do moi
know, Probably business enough was
not done to make it financial success
Mr.. Gilbert Kishlar, whose father owned
the Slater farm, and built this fence, in
forms me that some of the posts were
elm, too tough, and some were chestnut
too brittle and worm-eaten to split
