THE appointment by Governor Pat.
tison of Mr.. Henry Reed OF Philidel-
phia to the vacancy on the bench re-
Gently created by the death of Judge
Ludlow, is regarded by the Philadel-
phia Record as political mistake"
because it is the recognition of fac
tion in politics The appointec should
have been either "a straight.out Re.
publican or thorough Democrat.
The Record thinks the Democrats had
right to expect that the successor OF
Judge Ludlow would have been q
Democrat, and says very truly that "lt
is always wise to take care Of ones
friends when 1t is possible to do So"
The Times, however, is well satisfied
with the appointment, because "it will
assure the continuance on the bench of
the Governors choice" and says there
is no doubt of Mr.. Reeds confirmation;
whereas If an out.and out Democrat
had been appointed, the Senate would
have rejected him, if for nothing else
than to give Gov. Beaver a chance to
fill the vacancy. Which shows that
circumstances sometimes alter cases

Dir. McCosu Of Princeton Is said to
have left Harvard and its celebration in
II high state of indignation aud with at
least two serious grievances against the
venerable New England institution,
One of these is that Harvard entirely
overlooked the faculty of Princeton in
the conferment of cher honorary de.
grecs. Another, and the sorest, is the
covert reflection upon the orthodox
theology Of Princeton, which the good
doctor saw, or imagined he saw, in DR.,
Holmes poem. The Objectionable
lines are understood to be the fol.

THE New York star says that Sena.
tor Vest by his course in the case of
District Attorney Benton of Missouri
and his claim that the Postmaster. Gen.
eral violated the Presidents order as
much as Mr.. Benton did, is making
himself IAN offensive partisan" Says
the Star:
When the President asked him to formu'
late his charges against the Postmaster
General and adduce his proof he indig-
nautly replied that he was no iDformer.
Then why did he make the charge? 1t
looks as If the Senator is trying to make n
reputation for himself Of The cheap, clap.
trap kind. But as much s;rongermen have
tried to bully the President before him his
prospects are not encouraging,
1t is now in order for Mr.. Vest to
take the floor.
THERE is wild rumor atloat in

1t may seem absurd to suggest
that COW be blanketed, yet it is
more necessary for COW than
horse, especially if cleanliness is to
be observed. There is often large
amount of dirt that adheres TO a
COW, and If the stalls are damp and
the filth dries on the skin it is not
easily removed. OF course, a good
thick bed of clean straw will assist
materially in keeping the GOVT clean
but if the horse is worthy the use
ofthe blanket It should prove also
beneficial with tho COW. IF the COW
is kept for the purpose of being
MIXED, without regard to the puri-
ty and cleanliness of the article,
then no one seems to care, so the
milk is taken from her and sold (;
but for those who prefer cleanliness
aud butter free from faint or odor,
too much preeaatiq s@unot be
taken to keep the COW neat and
clean.

Early spring Is good time to
turn off fat wethers. Sheep fatten
we'll in cold weather. The farmer
has more time to attend to them
in winter than at any other season
of the year, and by fattening in
winter and holding until spring the
fleece is taken of and sold sepa-
rately, by which plan much more
can be realized from it. They may
be clipped and sold in April by this
method. Mutton usually com
mands a good price at this time,
while the wool may be held as
long as desired. On the whole, |
do not believe it good policy to
turn of so many lambs in autumn.
l think that fiocks are too much
kept down in this way, and that
the farmer cannot realize to the full
on such young animals. We must
consider for the future as well as
for the present in these things.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Early maturing pigs are the most


4
Butter color is made of margold
petals in Norway.
A machine for Smelling peas has
lately been invented.
Strawberry rust is prevented by
planting on new ground.
1t was bad butter, says the Coa-
rier-JOarRdI, that made the extern
sive use of oleomargarine possible.
The farmers themselves are very
largely to blame for that Of which
they now so loudly complain.
1t is reported that new enemy
to the potato has appeared in a
beetle which bores a hole in the
stalk and eats its way down to and
into the stalk. Thus imbedded in
the stock and ground, this enemy
is not to be reached by the pOisons
which destroy insect life on theout-
side of plants.
The secret in MASKING potatoes
is to have all the utensils used as
hot as possible, and beat the mass
till light, instead of pressing down
smooth and solid, adding cream,
butter aud. salt at will. A desira-
BILE result is reached by rubbing the
mashed potato through hot col
ander and leaving it just as it falls
into the dish.
A writer in the Iowa Homestead,
who has long sought for cure for
hog cholera, says he has used salt
with more advantage than any
thing he has ever tried. He does
not claim that it is cure, but says
that the ravages of the disease are
comparatively light in the herds
which have access to salt at all
times.
4 COW kept by herself will give
better results than the same COW in
a herd with others. The single
cow will be better fed, and a more
important point, so far as butter
making is concerned, will be the
fact that nearly all the butter will
be got from the cream, which Is
never the case when the milk and
cream from q herd of cows are
mixed before churning. Owing to
difference in size of the butter glo-
bules the milk from cows varies
largely in the time required to bring
the butter.
In France butter is packed in
bags not more than three inches in
diameter for family use, nor more
than two inches for restaurants
Each bag holds twOpounds. When
filed they are tied and packed in
brine, in tubs or casks which can be
headed tight. The cloth used must
be quite free from lint, and should
be very slightly starched-just
enough to make them iron smooth
ly-then run together, of uniform
size. The bag should be placed in
a mold of suitable size and shape
while being filled. The plan may
not be unworthy of a trial in this
country.
A good pig will often gain a
pound per day until it is eight or
ten months old. At this age it will
weigh more than a full-grOwn man
or woman. An animal making
such great increase in weight must
have good digestion 4; to insure
this the pig must be fed light food
while young, and a portion of 1t
should be succulent. There Is no
better combination for growing
healthy pork aud good fruit than
10 pasture pigs III orchards. With
the grass and fallen fruit thus OBJ
tanned should be given enough
grain to keep the animal growing
At six or eight months old pigs
designed to be fattened may be
given as much grain as they can
we'll digest but sows for breeding
had better be kept growing until
their full size is made.
