Value of Cow Manure.

There can he no reasonable doubt
that the manure from one well fed COW
is of more value than a ton of any of
the prepared fertilizers sold. The
money You pay out for phOsphates,
guanos, &c, had better be put into
grains and feed to make your fertiliz-
ers, and get the use of the animals as n
profit. This should also teach us to be
careful To save all our manure.

Glover for Hogs.

There is in the West II fast growing
habit of raising hogs on clover, which
is giving good results. The shOtes are
turned into the clover patch just be-
fore the blossom appears, and in the
fall they are finished in six weeks on
corn. The university of Michigan raise
pork for two and one-half cents per
pound by this system against six and
one-half kept up. The hogs thus raised
sell well, being desirable for bacon,
and it is from them that we get those
small. delicate hams with n small per
cent. of fat, 50 desirable for the con
sumer The writer saw last year in
Hardwick nice bunch of hogs kept
on clover, which was cut and carried
to the pens this is a good plan if you
are not supplied with small fields OF
pastures that yOu can devote to the
purpose. The hog is naturally grass
eating animal, but clover is best for
him.

A Good Manure Heap.

We know of manure heap in this
county where all the manure made on
the farm has been taken into the field
each day all winter, that is entirely
free from frost and will he fine and
ready tO use rs soon rs the ground is
dry, saving large amount of work in
the spring and one years use of the
manure. if You must have well rOtted
manure. Start your pile wide and
keep the top flat, get little heat in it
before the cold weather comes and
frost will not trouble you. AS you put
on the droppings each day see that
they are placed on the top evenly. If
you once adopt the plan you will never
give it up. Manure loses in soluble
matter from too long rotting more than
it gains.

SATISFACTION OF A MORTGAGE.

c. p. No.-sept Term, 1885,
In the matter of the petition of I. W. McKelyy
for satisfaction OF a mortgage given by Bernard
Seybert to Thomas Harder
COLUMBIA COUNTY IS
To B. p Fortner, administrator OF Thomas IIar-
der, late OF Catawlssa, deceased, and all persons
claiming to be the owner or owners of said mort
gage:
WheTeds, 1t appears by the records In the once
OF the Recorder at Bloomsburg, that a certain
mortgage dated the 3rd day of April, 1899 given by
Bernard Seybert to Thomas Harder to secure the
payment of certain money, recorded In Mortgage
BOOK No. 9, page 3al, remains unsatisded. ANA
Whereas said Thomas Harder died on the-day of
1850, and the SAID Bernard Seybert Is also be-
lieved to be dead. And Whereas, 1t Is alleged that
all the money due on said mortgage was paid
to the said Thomas Harder prior to his death, and
a legal presumption now exists OF the payment OF
said mortgage from lapse OF time Ana Whereas:
|. W. McKelvy, present owner OF the mortgaged
premises has applied to the Court OF Common
Pleas or said county where said premises are sit
uatedpraylng said court to decree and direct that
| satisfaction be entered upon the record OF said
mortgageon payment OF the costs due on the same
and the satisfaction entered shall forever dis
charge, and release the lien OF said mortgage from
the said premises Therefore all persons interest ed
as owners or holders OF said mortgage are required
oy an order or said court TO appear at the next
term OF said court TO be held at Bloomsbury on
the 4th Monday OF september, A. D., 1885, to an

There is good authority for the
statement that there is larger mum.
Der Of workmen employed now than
there was a year ago, and at somewhat
better wages. There is an improve
ment in that respect, of not very de-
cided appearance as yet, but still enough
to mark the beginning of better con.
dition of business. The fears of very
great shortage in important items of
agricultural production, which at the
beginning of the season caused consid-
erable uneasiness, are not going to be
realized TO the extent that was appre.
hended. The feeling of dependency
in regard to the harvest has in great
measure disappeared as the crops have
approached maturity and given evidence
that the damages of severe winter
and late spring have been to a great
extent repaired by favorable conditions
later on in the season.
The wheat crop is going to be larger
than the croakers were willing to allow,
and it will be found that much that has
been lost in quantity will be made up
by the superior quality of the produc
ton. The other cereals are satisfactory
both in yield and quality. The textile
production will be more than ordinarily
abundant and good. With evidences
of a revival of business both in manu-
features and trade, and reasonably
fair crop with which to feed the people,
with some to sell to foreign customers,
the prospects of better times ahead
have a good deal in them that is en-
couraging.--Er.

How to Keep Cool.

Don't work as hard as usual during
the middle of the day if il can be es-
capped.
Don't eat as much az usual 1t is
not necessary, and little fasting in
hot weather always pays.
Don't drink extremely cold ice water
1t is always better to eat the ice or let
it melt in the mouth.
Don't have any fires going in the
house unless absolutely necessary.
Use cold foods and do without hot
drinks.
Don't wear your clothes tight. 1t
impedes the already depressed circula-
ton and is a great source of comfort.
Don't eat any meat or butter, if you
can do without them. They are heat
ing and anyone is better without them
this weather.
Don't fail at meals to give prefer
ence to fruits and aids, which are
more agreeable now to the stomach
than any thing else that can be offer.
ed
Don't drink any strong stimulant, as
the simplest and plainest beverages,
such as lemonade, milk or iced coffee
do more for the tired energies at such
a time than the best brandy.
Don't very and fret, Try and put
off the unpleasant things with which
you have TO deal until cooler weather,
aud make up your mind not to get
mad at anything during July and
August
Don't neglect your feet. Battle them
night and morning, pay more atten-
ton than usual to corns and wear tho
oldest and roomiest shoes you have.
No one can keep cool with light shoes
on their feet.
Do not miss any opportunity that is
offered to bathe or go in the water. If
nothing else can be done dip the hands
in basin of water and rub them all
over the person on arising and before
retiring,
Don't wear a stiff hat. Compromise
on something light or soft-straw, il
possibe-and ventilated to let out the
air Frequent shampooing and wet
ting the top of the head is one effective
means Of keeping cool.

He Stands to HIS Guns.

The President is showing that he
can take position and stick to it in
more ways than one. The disappointed
office. seekers who desired to tear his
before-election civil service promises to
tat,ers in order to furnish them places
have been aware for some time that he
is a very stubborn man who stands by
his utterances. Now it is the cattle
men who have been pasturing their
herds on Indian lands who are learning
that he means what he says. They
have been to Washington to complain
that forty days is too short time in
which to move their herds, and ask an
extension. The President has declined
to extend the time, aud the cowboys
and their employers will spend what is
left of the forty days in trying to obey
the order.
1t is refreshing to realize that for
once an executive order means what it
says. 1t may be great inconvenience
to office-seekers ana cattle ranchers to
have man in the White House who
uses plain English and then stands up
to his utterances like man. But the
people who have no axes to grind will
relish this sort of plain dealing, and
after the selfish and clamorous crew,
who believe in making promises to the
ear to be broken to the hope, have got
tired of lashing themselves into fury
over their disappointment it will be
found that the public service of the
country is being performed more eiiic-
iently than ever before. As this is
what the people want they will have
increased respect for the man who can
make promise or issue a proclamation
then stick to it. Times.

these drives curving gracefully along
the banks of the Hudson, in some
places three hundred feet above the
water. The lank slopes gradually to
the shore and the intervening space be-
tween the drives and the river is filed
with groves of tall trees.
Little has yet been done to improve
this park, which in its primitive state
is favorite resort for picnic parties

western portion of the city. The drives

There is every reason to believe that
the nomination of Samuel Smith for
the office of sheriff on Tuesday last was
fair and honest in every respect His
nomination came as a natural result of
determination on the part of a
majority of the party to put a stop to
questionable means of securing Office.
The canvass of all the candidates so far
as we know, was properly and lawfully
conducted, but there was strong sus-
picion that q combination existed be-
tween two of the candidates, and that
that combination was manipulated by
the same element and directed by the
same head that undertook to lead re-
volt in the democratic ranks last fall.
The suspicion may have been unjust,
and unfounded. However that may
be, it had the effect to unite those who
are opposed to anything that smacks
of ring rule, upon the strongest of the
two candidates who were known t. be
outside of the influence of any combi-
nation, and Mr.. Smiths nomination
followed as natural sequence. There
may be lesson in this worth remem-
bering.
