Seventy-6ve of the Queens ten
ants in the gardens Of the Kew
Palace have been forced by their
poverty to cry out in public print
against the oppression of their
royal landlady, and in their appeal
beg the Commissioner for Housing
the Poor to provide them with cot
tages, as the rent they are now
compelled to pay, leaves them
without sufficient money to support
their families. 1t is to be expected
that the government will promptly
punish the rebellious and disloyal
wretches. Of course, the poor
Queen wouldn't be hard on her
tenants if she could prevent it;
but then, think of the personal ex-
pense she has been put to in marry
ing of her daughter. Why, it
couldn't have cost her, out of her
private purse, less than 800. But
the stupid poor never think Of
that.-Post.

The King of Bavaria, the country
whence all the best beer comes
from, recently got an advance Of a
couple Of millions to tide him oyer
a hard Winter, and has already
reached the bottom of the sack.
He has built a sumptuous palace
with a dozen mistresses on every
floor. and kegs of new beer on tap
in every room in the house. He IS
thought to be insane, from the
reason that he goes on at this lively
pace and makes no attempt at con-
cealment. Too much candor don't

CATTLE KINGS AND THE
GOVERNORSHIP.

The Free Lance says the cattle
kings will name the next Governor
of Nevada. It comedies that the
mining centers control the Legis-
lature and the United States Sen
atorship, but for the Office of Gov
ernor the granger element has
named the candidates. It says
that element has had its represen-
tatives in sympathy in Blasdel and
Kinkead, and in real interests in
Bradley and Adams. No million
air miner, no great exponent of the
mining industry, no man wholly
ASSOCIATED from the granger in
terest, has ever been allowed to oc-
cupy among State positions the
FIRST seat of honor. How promi-
nently discussed now for this pc
sition are the names of such cattle
men as Sparks, Mason, Bradley,
Hickey, Hardin, Winters and the
present incumbent! There are
several reasons for the concession
to this element by politicians. In
a popular election candidate
from one of the rural sections,
while possessing all the necessary
intelligence and culture, is one Of
them, not above them.
The cattlemen are band of as
sociates bound by association, now
recognized by the State Government
bound by ties of sympathy arising
from a like occupation and COM
munity of interests. They stood by
Bradley and Adams, and would
have stood by Evans in the last cleo
ton had he been pitted against any
mining man. Not so did the min
ing sections at the pools ratify the
nomination of Tritle or Strother,
two as upright and excellent citi-
zeus as the State has ever produced.
Still another rea son; the cattlemen
now have sinews of war. Within
our State it is estimated that there
are, to say nothing of the horses,
sheep and other stock, 100000 cat
tie, valued At s14,OOO,OoO. This
amount of wealth is probably %
times as great as is in Nevada the as
sessable property of either Mackay
or Fair, or both, greater than is now
rated the combined values Of the
mines of the whole Comstock lode;
seven times as great as is now
rated the combined value of the
present inflated stock Of the Hale
and Norcross, California and Con.
Virginia, Savage, Chollar, Potosi,
Sierra Nevada and Eureka Con
mines. For obvious reasons then
for some citizen closely identified
with the gazing interests Of the
State, the Gubernatorial chair is
and will be reserved.

pavements better than the Clydesdales,
and bring better price on the market.
The Clydesdales are short-ribbed, slim
wasted and lack action. Compare

MULCHING FOR PLANTS.
A Winter Protection Which Should Not
Be Neglected.

DC NcSlcctcu.
There are many plants and trees that
need some protection to carry them
safely through the winter. 1t is not the
river cold that, as rule, does the mis-
chief, but rather the frequent sudden
changes, freezing one day and thaw-
ing the next; small plants especially
are injured in this way; and often en-
tirely killed, unless afforded some pro-
lection by mulching. The strawberry
in exposed positions is very often in.
jured if left uncovered; but the straw.
berry is plant that requires much
more care in covering than most OF
garden plants, because, being partial
evergreen, it is not safe to cover it to
any great depth, or to cover it with
any material which will settle down so
close as to shut out the air; coarse hay
is really one of the hest coverings that
can be given the strawberry; but corn
stalks, or even evergreen boughs,
make very good covering. Raspberry
plants may be laid down and covered
with earth, because there are no leaves
to preserve.
Young, and even old, trees are very
much improved by heavy mulching;
but if anything is used to mulch with
that will make a good shelter for mice
care must be taken to protect each tree
with mound of earth to reach above
the mulching. The material to be
used for mulching the orchard must be
governed by the condition of the soil;
if the soil be moist, heavy soil few
inches in depth of sand makes an ex-
ccllent mulch, and will very much i'm
prove the orchard if it be spread over
the whole land; but if the soil be some
what light and dry the soil from an old
swamp is an excellent material, and a
covering of two or three inches over the
whole surface will make lasting inn
provement. The practice of spreading
on such material for mulch, and Gov.
ering only small space around each
tree, is very poor one. Before APP
plying sand or leaf mulch to an orchard,
the land should receive a good dressing
of manure. An orchard that has been
in grass few years will be greatly
benefited if covered late in the autumn
WIFI IL LuiCHlHS VI lcdl-ilOulu uccp
enough to smother the grass to a de-
gree sufficient to kill out portion OF
the roots. This benefits an orchard
more than it does to pillow it. and if the
material is near. it costs but little. il
any more.
Plants, the tops of which die out
every year and send up new shoots
every spring, and are only half hardy,
can easily be protected by covering
with some material that will settle
down close and shut out the air. One
of the best materials for this purpose is
moist leaves; but, to keep them in place
after they have been packed down
closely, they must be covered with
boards or slight covering of earth.
Currant bushes always do better
when well mulched; the best material
for this purpose is good stable manure,
the more the better, if not deep enough
to heat. There are few plants that
grow which take SO kindly to stable
manure as the currant, and few that il
will pay to feed so iberally.-Massa.

ABOUT DEMENT'S.
Composition of Cohering Mediums for Va
riOuA PURPOSES.

Composition of Cohering Mediums for Va
rious Purposes.
The value of cement is, first, that
1t should become strongly cohering
medium between the substances joined;
and, second, it should withstand the
action of heat, or any solvent action of
water or acids. Cement often fails in
regard to the last consideration. For
waterproof uses, several mixtures are
recommended, and the following may
be mentioned: One is to mix white
lead, red lead and boiled oil, together
with good size, to the consistency of
putty. Another is powdered resin one
ounce, dissolved in ten ounces of
strong ammonia; gelatine, FIVE parts;
solution of acid chromate of lime, one
part Exposing the article to sunlight
is useful for some purposes. A water
by adding to hot starch paste half its
weight of turpentine and small piece
of alum. As a cement lining for els
terms, powdered brick two ounces,
quicklime two, wood ashes two, made
into paste with boiled oil, is recon-
mended. The following are cements
for steam and water joints: Ground
litharge, ten pounds; plaster of Paris,
four pounds; yellow Ochre, One-half
pound; red lead, two pounds; hemp
cut into one-half inch lengths, one
half ounce, mixed with boiled linseed
oil to the consistency of putty. White
lead, ten parts; black oxide of manga
nese, three: litharge, one. Mixed with
boiled linseed oil. A cement for joints
to resist great heat is made thus: As
bestos powder, made into thick paste
with liquid silicate of soda. For coat
ing acid troughs, a mixture
of one part pitch, one part
resin, and one part plaster of
Paris, is melted and is said to be a good
cement coating. Correspondents fire.
quently ask for good cement for fixing
iron bars into stone in lieu of lead, and
nothing better is known than COM
pound of equal parts of sulphur and
pitch. A good cement for stoves and
ranges is made of fire-clay with a solu-
ton of silicate of soda. A glue to re-
sist damp can be prepared with boiled
linseed oil and ordinary glue, or by
melting one pound of glue in two quarts
of skinned milk; shellac, four ounces;
borax, one ounce; boiled in a little
water and concentrated by heat to a
paste. A cement to resist white heat
may be usefully mentioned here: Pull
verified clay, four parts; plumbago,
two; iron filings, free from oxide, two;
peroxide of manganese, one; borax,
one-half, sea salt One-half. Mix with
water to thick paste, use Immediately,
and heat gradually to a nearly white
heat. Many of the cements used
which are exposed to great heat, fail
from the expansion of one or more in
gradients in them, and an unusual
stress is produced, or the two SUBJ
stances united have unequal rates of
expansibility or contractibility. The
chemical OF galvanic action is import
ant. The whole subject of cements
has not received the attention it de-
serves from practical men. Only Port
land cement has received anything like
scientific notice; and few experiments
upon waterproof, heat-resisting and
other cements would show which
cements are the best to use under GER

Natures AgriculturIsts.

Prof. Henry Drummond remarks that
there can be no succession of crops
without the most thorough agriculture,
and that where man is not doing this
work nature employs other agents.
Darwin has shown how the soil of
England is titled by earth worms to
an extent of having ten tons of dry
earth per acre annually transferred
from below to the surface, by passing
through their bodies and being depos-
tied as their casts. But in the hard
baked soil of tropical climates the
worms are unable to operate, and
other agencies are demanded, an eff

CLASSIFICATION.
A Subject Little Understood by Many In
telligent Breeders.

eVhhSCht DNCcuckSs
Classification of animals as to tribe,
genus, species, breed. variety, strain,
cross, hybrid and mongrel is too little
understood even by many intelligent
breeders. A species is constant in full
filling all the conditions necessary to
reproduction alike in all general re-
spects. A genus is an assemblage of
species possessing certain characters in
common, by which they are distin-
guished from all others. and is subordi-
nate to tribe or sub-tribe. The genus
equls constitutes several species in do
mestication, including the horse and
ass, and the mule as a hybrid between
the two, itself infertile. Hence the
progeny between two species of a genus
is a mule (hybrid) throughout ami
mated nature and plants.
AS to species, all cattle, for instance,
are varieties of the genus has, of the
species taurus. When two varieties
are so long bred together as to breed
measurably constant as to characters
tics they may be called a breed-that
is.'a race or progeny from the same
parents or stock.
A strain of stock is breed, or SUBJ
family of breed, in which certain
points are intensified and perpetuated
through strong hereditary force, as
certain strains of stock, strains of
Short-Horns. thoroughbred horses, etc.
The word hybrid is often COMPOUNDED
with mongrel. A mongrel is an ami
NAL descended from two or more pa
rents themselves of mixed but inferior
blood-in fact, degenerate animal
The common mixed cattle of q coun.
try are mongrels. Variation in do
mestic animals is constantly going on.
The unscientific breeder seeks not to
keep q breed within the distinct lines
of the ancestors. The scientific breed
er does, and through careful mating
and as careful selection perpetuates
and intensifies the superior points If
