THE TELEPHONE SCANDAL. - The
New York Tribune publishes a story
from Washington to the effect that a
syndicate of spectators, headed by one
A. E. Davis of Chicago, who was in pc
culiarly intimate relations with the in
terror department, was formed, prior to
the announcement of Secretary Lamar
decision in the telephone case, to specu-
late in Bell telephone stock by selling it
short on accurate advance information
that the secretary's decision would be
adverse to that company. He says that
a copy of the report was left in a room
in the interior department to which a
key was given to person acting for
this syndicate, who thus obtained full
knowledge of what the decision would
be. But the scheme did not work, for
when these spectators went into the
market to sell telephone stock short they
found that the bona tide owners refused
to allow such a transaction to go on by
not cOnsenting to lend their stock fol-
this speculative enterprise.

Farming by a Novice.

Could man who has never had
any experience, make living at farm
ing on farm of SO acres in New Jer-
sey, near markets-New York, Hack
ensack and Patterson? The farm is
sandy loan, and not in good condi-
ton. What book would be the best
for this purpose?-E. NJ, Brooklyn,
New York.
AS nearly universal rule, no one
can succeed at any complex business
which he does not understand. A
man must know his trade. A similar
question would be-could a man who
has no knowledge of law, and who
has never studied medicine, make a
living at either of these professions ia
town of 10000 people? Even those
who are familiar with the require
ments of farming, would not be like
ly to succeed on fifty acres of land in
poor condition, without the appli-
ances needed for success. He would
want few hundred dollars worth of
fertilizers, five hundred dollars or

to do the work, cattle to manufacture
manure, and seeds for sowing and
planting-the value of thousand
or two dollars in all. To have these
all work together to the best advan-
tage, would require energy, judgment
and skill. The amount of hired la
Dor we have not taken into the preced-
ing account, nor the needed fencing
and buildings. Then, again, where
some men would succeed others would
entirely fail-the ability of the man
is of vital importance-,a of this
we have no means of judging. These
facts are not stated to throw difficult
ty in the way of enterprise, for every
one is always more certain of final
success by understanding in advance
all that may be required. You will
find much information in the various
departments of practical farming, in
the different volumes of Rural affairs,
which is largely illustrated and made
plain by engravings, particularly in
the articles on farm management, i'm
proving land, raising the various crops
and in the appliances for saving labor
and for performing it with efficiency.

The Hay Prospect.

The hay crop is not made in a
month or year. However favorable
the present season may be, if the
drought of the preceding season had
killed the grass in the old fields and
prevented the seeding of new, then
there must be light hay crop this
year. But such was not the case, for
generally, throughout New England,
the weather after July last year was
unusually favorable for new seeding
and for maintaining thick stand of
grass in the old fields, and never
could one ask for better grass weather
than we have had thus far this wear.
Reports from all directions indicate a
good hay crop in prospect. Clover on
newly seeded fields is thick, of good
color and full of vigor, as is also Tim
othy that was seeded last August or
September. The old fields, too, have
thickened up wonderfully under the
influence of the copious rains of the
late fall and early spring. April
was warm so that cattle were turned
out several weeks earlier than usual
and found good feed in the pastures.
May has been wet, and now, with
showery June, the largest hay crop for
many years is assured. A large hay
crop may not bring high prices, but it
will give US the material for making
cheap beef, milk and butter, or for
making these at fair profit. The
wise, far-seeing farmer will aim to
sell his hay in the form of animal pro-
ducts rather than in it's raw state, so
the larger the crops the better the
profits. AS the season is early the
machines must be put in order early,
or new ones purchased. Now is the
time to see to these matters.-Neeo

Advices from Ceylon report a fam
inc at Koua. Five hundred have al
ready starved to death.
France denies any political aspira-
tons in the New Hebrides, but two
men-of-war have been ordered there
to protect British interests.
Extensive police precautions are
being taken at East End in London,
where, it is stated, Fenian outbreak,

A statement comes from San Fran
cisco to the effect that a syndicate of
European capitalists have offered to
loan King Kalakaua ten million dollars
which means the purchase of the
islands, as the debt would never be
paid.
In his able speech made in the
House on the oleomargarine bill, Gen.
Grout showed that such a tax was
first lawful, and second, necessary.
Each point was supported by unan-
swerable arguments. There is no
doubt that it conduced effectively to
the success Of the bill in the House.
The columns of the Congressional
Record-in which his speech fills eight
pages-show that Gen. Grout is doing
good deal of work this session, and
looking closely after the interests of
his constituents ard of the public.
The American Home Missionary
society of the Congregational demon
ination recently in session at Saratoga
Springs, has been in existence for 60
years. 1t has organized in its work
more than five thousand churches and
innumerable mission schools, and has
sent thousands of colporteurs through
the sParsely settled portions of the
far west. Nearly half of the five
thousand congregational churches,
aided by the association have become
self supporting, and many of them
are now engaged III their own behalf
in missionary and evangelical work
of wide reaching influence.
We can see no reason this wear for
not returning General Grout to Con-
gress from the second district. While
opposing him for the nomination at
the two last conventions we did so
without putting a just estimate upon
his ability and fitness for the position.
His record as conscientious, able and
energetic member of the forty-ninth
Congress is sufficient for US to give him
our cordial support. There is no
question but what his nomination will
be practically unanimous.-Bradtord

Down with oIeomargarine.

The bill taxing oleomargarine and
all limitations of butter five cents per
pound has passed the House by a
good majority. 1t is the most impor-
tant measure that has been before
Congress for years. On it hangs the
very existence of the dairy interests
of this State and the whole country.
1t has been fought for weeks in the
House by a lobby that had millions
behind it. That lobby boasts that it
will not pass the Senate. The first
fight has already taken place in that
body. The Committee on Agricul-
ture is in favor of the bill and the
Committee on Finance is opposed to
it. A desperate attempt was made to
send it to the latter committee, which
would have reported it so amended as
to have killed it, or not reported it at
all, SO the lobby boosted. 1t was
saved and sent to the Committee on
Agriculture by the narrow vote of p

against it.

TERRIBLE RIOTS IN 1RELAND.-Ihe

which they burned. The rioters broke
into several Whiskey stores and possessed
themselves of the contents. Numbers
of men fell into the cutters drunk ana
laid there. Others, made desperate or
maudlin by drink, proWled ABOUT tne
streets. In the various assaults made
nv the police upon the rioters twenty
five of the latter were severely wounded

lice have been ordered to fire ball In the
event of any general renewal OF the

shot and killed during the riot, was a
Well-knoWn local simpletOn. He waved
an Orange sash in the face OF home

During the riot the SITUATION became SO
desperate that Mr.. MatherS, a local
Orange leader. publicly declared that
unless the Orangemen did their duty he
and a thousand armed Orangemen would
take charge of the town. MatherS was
on the point of carrying out his threat
when the military appeared. WedneS-
day there was a little stone throwing IN
Iurgan. but otherwise the town was
quiet. Rioting was renewed Wednes-
day evening, and the RloG ACT was dSdIIl
read. The mob increased in size and
began throwing stones at the police.
The latter fired, killing four persons,
one of whom was a bar-maid who was
looking out of tavern window at the
fighting. The mob returned the fire
and a brisk fusillade was kept up for
twenty minutes. The mob drove force
of $50 policemen into the barracks and
then attacked the building, firing re
volvers and throwing stones at the
doors and windows. The police fired,
killing five persons. Several Protestant
cIergymen tried to disperse the mob, but
their efforts were unavailing. One OF
the persons killed was widow with two
children. One hundred and fifty police
men have left Dublin for Belfast to re,

Farm Notes.

Milk which stands too long makes
bitter butter.
Prune in winter for wood, and in
summer for fruit.
Give a boy some encouragement
when he performs farm task well.
Keep the garden free from weeds.
You cannot grow a paying crop of
vegetables and a crop of weeds at the
same time.
Overfed fowls are more liable to
disease than those that are kept hun
CRY. But don't starve them to keep
disease away.
A COW that is troublesome to milk
may often be put to good use by set
ting her to sucking various calves
and thus fattening them for veal.
The cleaner you keep your horses'
shoulders the iesss liable they are to
become sore. In nine cases out of
ten it is dirt under the collar that in
jures the shoulders.
A crock of butter was lately taken
out of a we'll in New York State,
where it had lain fifty years. 1t was
solid and sweet.
A practical farmer says that in set
ting posts where great solidity is re-
quired, he uses gravel and small stone
to fill around the posts, and then runs
in water-lime mortar, thus virtually
imbedding the post in rock, and pre-
venting decay while insuring solidity.
We do not believe hen scratches
for living. She scratches for ex-
ercise. If you don't believe it, watch
a well fed hen in her humble cage at
market. She will scratch on the sheet
iron floor with all the vigor of gold
digger, and affect to find things to eat
with all the innocent assumption of a
man who slips on the ice, and breaks
both legs and his back, and tries to
look as though he hadn't fallen down.
If Bookkeeping is to be made really
profitable, it is absolutely necessary
that we should stimulate our hives.
People some times are led into the
statment that "if the bees cannot
gather what they require, they must
take their chance" This, it is need
less to say, is both inhuman as we'll
as Improbable. II little feeding
makes our bees additionally profitable,
and often saves them from death itself,
is not the small amount of expense
and extra trouble we'll repaid! Would
not the loss of valuable stock prove
far more serious?
