TWO CONVENTIONS LIKELY.
A HIGH OLD BREAK IN THE RRPUB-
LIC4N PARTY MACHINE

Two Republican CITY Commit es Claim
Ing TO be the Regular why Mayor
Collins May Have to Ask Two OF his
Party Conventions for his RenomI-
nation.
A call in this mornings TAT1IER directs
that the Republican City Convention for
the nomination of candidate for Mayor
be held on March 31st. The call is signed
on behalf Of the Republican City Com.
mittee by R. B. Seymour as Chairman and
John W. Herbert as Secretary. In last
evenings journal another call appeared.
It bore the sigma true of John Ramsey as
Chairman and Thomas McEwen as Secre-
tary. and directed that the Republican City
Convention be held on April g.. The Tart
LER made inquiry as to the reason for two
calls for one Convention is to be held on
two separate days, and unearthed pretty
Republican row. M
1t had been the custom for MANY
years of the Republican City Con-
vention, at the close OF their bust
ness, to designate by names the
members of the City Republican Com
mlttee to serve for the succeeding two
years. The convention that nominated
Mayor Soldier changed the rule SO as to
constitute the City Convention of the city
members of the County Convention. That
rule was adhered to, till the convention
that nominated Mayor Collins, when the
City Committee was appointed by name.
General John Ramsey was one of the CITY
Committeeman SO named. Messrs. Sey-
mour and Herbert were others. The CITY
Oommitteethusd designated met, and with the
help of Gen. Ramsey organized by electing
Assemblyman Seymour President and Mr..
Herbert Secretary This Committee has
met from time to time since its organiza-
ton, but for some reason General RAM
say objected to its longer continuance in
power, claiming that the old rule that made
the city members of the County Commit
tea the City Committee is still in force
He has organized them into City Com
mittee by securing his own election to the
chair, and they have issued their call for
the convention. Meanwhile the orthodox
City Committee, helGed by Assemblyman
Seymour, has issued its call for conyen-
ton. The fact is that General Ramsay
wants to control the political machinery OF
the approaching charter election, and the
probability is that two conventions will be
held. A41f

COLIC IN HORSES.

One ofthe principal causes of collie
in horses is improper mastication
and ensalivation Of food. Manv
horses have a voracious appetite and
are inclined to eat fast and holt
their food only partially masticated:
while other horses have uneven and
irregular molar teeth, rendering
them incapable Of masticating their
food properly. Mark an error which
is often committed by non-profes-
sional travelling horse dentists. In.
stead Of removing the sharp and
irregular corners of the teeth they
usually destroy one-third part of the
entire table surface of the molar
teeth, thus forever destroying one
Of the most important organs Of
digestion. Here is a point, and a
very important one, for us to ex,
anime in all subjects that are suffer,
ers from collie. If the teeth are not
performing their function then we
must expect Indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble.-Dr. Far IN

APPLES FOR cows.

A moderate quantity of apples,
say six to eight quarts per day,
while containing little substance Of
nutritive value. will assist in the
digestion Of her other food, and
their favoring will improve the
taste of the milk. But an excessive
amount of apples might be an injury
from the amount Of seeds they con-
tain. Apple seeds in considerable
quantity operate on the urinary
organs, and this lis what has led
some to suppose that the apples dry
cows up. The writer has often fed
the small quantity of apples men
toned to cows with decided benefit.
1t is better that they should be fed
with heterogeneous food, as apples are
very deficient in albuminoids.-

A paper devoted to coach-making
gives some good hints respecting
this matter. A we'll made-wheel
will endure constant wear from ten
to twenty years if are is taken to
use the right kind and amount of
grease; but if this matter is not
attended to, it will be used up in
five to sixyears. Lard should never
be used on a wagon, for it will pen
citrate the hub and work it's way out
around the lemons of the spokes,
thus spelling the wheel. Tallow is
the best lubricator for wooden axle
trees, and castor oil for iron hubs,
but many Of the patent axle greases
arc also excellent, have the merit of
being cheaper and more convenient
to handle. Just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle Of a
wagon to give it a slight coating.
This is better than more, for the sur
plus put on will work out at the
ends and be forced by the shoulder
bans and nut-washer into the hub
around the outside Of the boxes. To
oil an iron axle tree first wipe the
spindle clean with a cloth wet with
spirits of turpentine, and then apply
a few drops Of castor oil near the
shoulder and end. One teaspoonful
is sufficient for the whole.

HOW TO PLANT THE.GRAPE.


The old grape grower who can
plant 1000 cuttings without a par
ticle of root and make each throw
up three feet of cane the first season,
or who can scarcely drop a vine in
the field without finding it has taken
root, will smile at my telling how
to plant, yet there is a right way to
do everything, and some people have
yet to learn how to plant the grape.
Nurserymen before planting take a
handful Of vines and clip off more
than half the roots with one blow of
a sharp Ratchet on a block. The
vine may or may not grow better
for this. His object is to remove
any useless CIRCUMFERENCE to rapid
planting, and to get a mass Of short
lateral roots, instead of a few roots
several feet long, which gives extra
trouble in digging. | do not suppose
l can induce you to cut your vines
thus. If you do not, dig a broader
bed for the roots and spread them
out SO they will not crowd one an
other. Ordinarily we plant the vine
just deep enough to escape the pillow
and cultivator, say 8 inches deep,
but far north where the roots are
liable to injury by severe winters
