FARM NOTES.

It is claimed that an occasional rolling
with heavy roller will so compact the
soil that ants will be driven away.
Cold frames can be used for forcing some
of the hardy plants in winter. Early cab
bage and lettuce are grown in this man
ner.
Toads are the policemen of the garden.
They speedily transport insect depreda-
tors to place where they will do no more
harm.
1t is stated that the best varieties of
early raspberries are the Tyler and Sou
hogan. The Ohio and Mammoth Cluster
are excellent late varieties.
Potatoes are dried as fruits are for use
on ships and in mining camps, where fresh
vegetables can not be easily procured
The potatoes are sliced and dried in a COM
mon evaporation, just as apples are, and
when used are soaked in water twelve
hours to soften and freshen them.
The great secret in making underdrain-
ing a permanent improvement is in secur-
ing uniform fall when laying the tile and
maintaining a good outlet When this
outlet has been closed a year or two, if
there be good fall, recpening it will
cause it to wash out obstructing sediment.
The finer the condition of the manure
and the more evenly it is spread over the
surface the sooner it will be converted
into plant food and the better it will nOur-
ish the plants. As the fall is an excellent
time to haul and spread the manure a lit
tie care given the matter of spreading it
now will be amply repaid in the spring.
1t is we'll known that corn readily alb
serbs moisture, and that unless kiln dried
before grinding, and placed in air-tight
packages, it is apt to heat. In the saving
OF seed corn, therefore, it is especially
necessary that the corn be ripe, dried
thoroughly before it is froZsn, and then
kept in a dry place, and preferably one
where it will not freeze.
1t was many years ago discovered that
lime was a preventive of the disease
called "ciub root" in cabbage, caused by
growing this crop in succession on the
same ground. There is, perhaps, no gar
den vegetable to which the commercial
phosphate of lims can be more profitably
applied than to cabbage. Even late in the
season phosphate diluted with water may
be used on cabbage with profitable results.
Some farmers are adopting the practice
of buying their own chemicals and doing
the mixing themselves, but compromising
the materials in the right proportion, so
as to get just what is needed in a concen-
trated form, requires skill as we'll as ex-
perience. So many manufacturers are now
engaged in the business, with all the ap-
pliances necessary for doing the work
economically, that it is thought in most
cases money will be saved by buying what
is wanted already prepared for use. Still
there are cases where home made fertili-
zers compare favorably with manufacture
ers, it is claimed, at a less cost.

TO RELIEVE WHALERS.
Steps Being Taken to Send Relief to Inn
prIsoned Whalers.

Steps Being Taken to Send Relief to I'm
prisoned Whalers.
WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Acting Secretary
Thompson, yesterday received a long
telegram from San Francisco, signed by
Senator Hearst and others, informing him
of the perilous situation of the crews OF
about a dozen whalers supposed to have
been wrecked near Herald Island in the
Arctic ocean, and asking that revenue
steamer be sent at once to their assistance
There are said to be nearly 500 men in the
party, and they are in no condition to
withstand the rigors of an Arctic winter.
The revenue steamer Bear is desired for the
purpose of sending provision and cloth
ing, without which, it is said, they will
perish of hunger and cold. Acting Secre-
tary Thompson visited the White House
during the day and laid the matter before
the President saying that there was nc
vessel now in the revenue service hit for
winter cruise to the Arctic. The steamer
Bear, now at San Francisco, which was
suggested for the expedition would re-
quire extensive repairs, and Mr. Thomp-
son added that there is no appropriation
which can be utilized for this expense.
The President said that the case was a
serious one and required prompt act
ion. He thereupon sent for Commo-
dore Harmony, Acting Secretary of the
Navy, and instructed him to take immedi-
ate steps for the relief of the whalers.
Commodore Harmony promised to do so,
and said he would endeavor to commune
cate with Commodore Emery, command
ing the United States ship Thetis, now
cruising in the Arctic, and which is ex-
pected to arrive at San Francisco in a
short time. The present plan is to fit this
vessel out for a relief expedition as soon
as she arrives at San Francisco, and to
expedite her arrival there with that end

FIGHT FOR A TRUCK.

Republicans Capture n Platform From
Democrats in a Political Row at New
York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-A row occurred in
the Eighth Assembly district last night be-
tween the Tammany organization and the
John ]. O'Brien Legion of Republicans,
the latter capturing a truck from which
the Democrats had been making speeches
to a crowd at Eldridge and Canal streets.
The meeting was about to close when the
O'Brien Legion, who had been parading,
raided the truck. The leaders were well
acquainted with each other and regarded
the affair more as a joke than seriously,
but some of the followers on both sides got
excited and there was quite a fracas, in
the course of which two pistol shots were
heard. Whether the firing was done in
Pickwickian sense or in earnest is con-
iectural. At any rate, the police thought
it justified them in taking a serious view
Of the situation, and the street was soon
cleared.

Down here in beautiful town south

his mouth shut forty-eight hours. He
then said: 81 believe in God and the

not right they can not be Christians.
