rotting of manure in the soil helps to de compose the latter and is thus double help.
 It will not do to run plough through an orchard, as the roots of tho trees may be cut and hacked to pieces so greatly as to do injury. A light cultiva- tor may be of service, however, as by its use weeds and rank grass may be kept down.
 sickly looking plants may be taken out of their old pots, the roots washed, and weaker branches trimmed and placed into as small pots as the roots can be placed into. Let such plant remain there until by good growth it shows its healthy roots, then it may have more earth in little larger pot.
 A successful grower of carnations has found lime to bea good fertilizer for them. They will be much finer grown in soil containing lime than in any other. It also prevents tho attack of worms The red spider and green fly may be overcome by the application of tobacco water, although many tourists prefer Immigration with tobacco smoke.
 In planting new bed of asparagus the first and most requisite thing is the selection of suitable soil which should be light, sandy loam or clear sand, without stones or gravel. Seed should be carefully selected from the largest and most productive roots, and planted aa early in the spring as possible, in heavily manured, clean land, in drills about one foot apart and eight or ten seeds to the foot.
 The natural course of any stream of water is crooked and interferee with profitable cultivation even ot grass, as in these days all the moving has to be done by horse power and ms chine. It is a great advantage to open straight open ditch through meadow where the brook runs. The fall will be better in straight line, and if tile ol stone drains are run into this open ditch from all the low places the land thus re- covered will almost certainly be the most productive on the farm.
 The peelings and refuse cut away from potatoes in preparing for cooking are usually thrown in the swill barrel and fed to the pigs. This is not the best ust that can be made of them, especially when green food is scarce. If the small amount thrown out every day is saved for the horse or the milch COW, it will in crease the appetite and help keep ta1' animal in better health. Fed to a GOV it will increase the milk supply, and thu feed the pig nearly or quite as we'll a' raw potato parings would do.

 A we'll l-to-do farmer lives near Oak Tree, N. J. His sixteen-year-old daughter Rebecca is said to be gay and has paid little attention to her fathers admonitions. It is alleged that he and his brother concocted scheme to teach her lesson. She usually went to the house of . friend in the evening, and on Monday night her father and uncle left the house ahead of her and secreted themselves in 8 thicket by the side of tho road. They were we'll disguised. As Rebecca passed the spot where thoy were concealed they spranR upon her and carried her into the bushes. The girl thought she was in the hands of ruffians, and fainted. She was conveyed home, but when she recovered coEsciousn ess she seemed dazed, and has continued 90 ever since. Her father and uncle arc terribly alarmed at her condi- tion, which phy sicians say is dangerous.

FOR THE FARM AND HOMEs
To Tran Rats.


 The editor of the Rural Neso Yorker has discovered new method for catch ing rats in steel trap. After setting it 50 it will spring easily, in any convenient place where the rodents ''most do con- gregate," piece of thin white muslin about two feet square, more or less, is spread over the trap and over this are scattered carelessly few cookey, cake or cheese crumbs. Having no fear of evil from white cloth, in eating the crumbs, the rats are sure to get into the trap, and the cloth does not prevent the trap from holding them. When the cloth becomes soiled or bloody it should be changed for fresh one. The editor says the oldest and wisest rats are caught as easily as the younger ones, and several are often caught in quick succession in the same trap set in the same place. The method is certainly worthy of trial.

Mr.. James A. Herne and his fine compa-
ny will appear at the Opera House, this
evening in Mr.. Herne's latest great sue
cess, 1.-THE Minute Men of 70" This
well known actor has appeared in Wheel
ing before and he needs no introduction
to the theatre gOers, who will undoubted-
ly turn out en- mGSSe to greet him, this
evening. The New York Eers SAYS ofthe
play:
Mr.. James A. Herne made no mistake
in the taste of the west-Siders when he
concOcted his drama, The Minute Men"
He fairly set the patrons of the Grand
Opera House wild with delight over the
e of his successful drama. The clev-
erneSs of the work, the realism of the
scenery and the excellence of the actors all
made it seem so like reality. that the en-
thusiasm of the audience knew no bounds
over the patriotic pictures presented.
When love of country and hatred of OBJ
preston were not appealed to it was a
story of the heart that rung applause from
s~ympathizing lovers who knew exactly
how it was themselves. The Minute
Men, is q strong drama and splendidly
staged, and will fill the Grand Opera
House all week. Mr.. James Herne's
Reuben FOxglove is a quantity drOll char
acter that everybody admires. Katherine
Z. Herne is admirable as Dorothy and Mr..
HI. NJ. Pitt capital as Lieutenant SmOllet
The other parts were well acted, and the
picture OF the battle of Bunker Hill is very
fine.

about a representative firm In the stove n
Joseph Bell & Co. IS trade reaches from The
great lakes to the gull and westward to the
Pacific. Entering the great West midst
the fierce competition of great houses, both
East and West, the skill of their mechanics,
the advantages of their situation and close
attention TO business have enabled them
to more than hold their own against their
MANY competitors. Within the past two
wears they have remodeled all their lines,
excepting certain standard goods, have
completed assortments where there was
deficiency, and have started the construc-
ton of a line of heaters entirely novel
among the whole endless variety
now in the market Their
establishment is complete in itself. There
the prospective stove is discussed and Its
features decided upon, and there 1t Is de-
signed, built and east without recourse to
outside pattern works which 50 often fur
nish duplicates to all who will buy. As a
result their stoves are their own IN every
sense and are as efficient and entirely
suited to fuel and purpose as practical
skill and experience can make them. They
seek simplicity with efficiency and avoid
all that complex machinery which becomes
so troublesome, and all that overloaded
..&.,,N ~ ,,eral 70 rrnHa talfn
Their base heaters for hard and soft
coal have received the highest praise Tor
chaste and original design and perfect
operation; their outline is faultless and
the tile decoration exquisite. Their Oak"
for heating large spaces, is stove of the
greatest power and apparently the perfec-
ton of convenience. This firm, are thor

coklng stoves and are sure
that every one without q
stationary boiler will eventually have one.
They have had to add them to all theil
lines of stoves. Buyers have here the
best opportunity of selecting, and sight
seers will find enough of interest IN the
processes of manufacture to fully graufy
curiosity. But we have said enorgh; their
enterprise and products are n credit TO the
city, and as such should receive the atten'
ton they deserve. We will say in addition,
however, that whether the industry be
nails or steel, pottery or glass, stoves OF
machinery; it will not suffice that the
wares be excellent; there must be
besides the infexible determination that
the people shall knowit and there must be
also the cooperation of one with another
in purchasing here, what is here, and in
recommending to others, home products,
which we know to be good. In this way,
as has been often said, the excellence OF
our goods will become more rapidly
known, our trade will correspondingly
increase, and u prosperity advance.

MILL NOTES.

Saturday was pay day at the Belmont.
. The Riverside factory will resume work
this morning.
All the nail factories in the city and the
Whitaker mill are expected to resume
work this morning.
The jury in the damage suit for S., 600
against the Jefferson Iron Works Compa-
ny returned a verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
The Mingo nail factory will not run this
week, but the steel plant will run to its
fullest capacity, there beinga big market
for slabs and plate.
The Mingo nail works closed down Satur-
day morning on account of a shortage OF
nail-plate, and will be closed down this
week, and perhaps longer.
The work in the new steel plant at the
Jefferson Iron Works is progressing as rap
idly as the state of the weather will per-
init. 1t is now thought that it will be
completed by the first of January and
that steel will be made by the first OfFeb-
rnary. The nail department is running to
its full capacity and the company have
orders for more uails tqan they car sup
ply.
