FARM NOTES.
On the Country Road.

Gentleness cannot be kicked into
cow.
Walnuts are the latest wrinkle for
iattening turkeys.
Remove the seeds before feeding
pumpkins to cattle.
The safe way to get good milk
COWS is to raise them.
Water cattle frequently or let
them have free access to il.
Dampness is great producer OF
disease among poultry.
Put all farm machinery and tools
into first rate order during leisure
hours this winter.
DIR. Salmon, chief Of the bureau OF
industry, says that pleurO- pneumonia
among cattle no longer exists west
of the Allegheny mountains.
The development of wheat pro-
duction in Dakota has been truly
wonderful. The area sown to spring
wheat for the 1887 crop is placed b.
the governor at 1892, 3S9 acres, and
the WELD at about 60,000,000 bush
els, or nearly double the production
of 1855, or nearly one-seventh Of the
entire wheat production of the whole
country.
A Word to Farm Girls.
Perhaps you are tired Of advice,
which is generally very cheap; but
/ will give you a tiny leaf from my
experience and let you draw your
own conclusions. When my mother
died, leaving me at the age of fifteen
to care for my fathers house, and a
younger brother and sister. / could
do almost anything better than
keep house, which / could not do at
all / could harness a team of half
broken colts, and could ride or drive
them. | could milk and feed cattle
and do everything that a woman Il
was then five feet six inches, and had
attained my full growth could do
on farm, and l had taught dis
trict school for the past months /;
but / never had made a pie, or what
is more important a loaf of bread.
So l bungled along-with help or
without. If / had the former, 7 was
imposed upon, as, seeing my incom
petence, the servants felt a perfect
right TO do. l wasted materials,
laid the foundation for dyspepsia IN
the various members of the family,
and / verify believe drove my father
into a second marriage that proved
a most unhappy one for all parties
concerned. The first years of my
own married life were a repetition
of the miserable failure of these
DAYS, until / fell into the hands of
such "Good Samaritans" as Miss
CorsOn and Marion Harland' and
awoke to the necessity of atOning
for my lack of early training in the
matter of looking we'll to the ways
of my household. Now l do not
want to preach, but it is to the young
girls that we must look for the cooks
of the future, which is equivalent to
saying for the health of the next
generation.

Oscar Wasn't Such a Fool.


Omaha Herald.
Col. Vail, manager of Ragan's illus
trated lectures, is the man who piloted
Oscar Wilde through this country. The
wonder is that he still lives. oscar
Wilde was no fool, by any MEANS" said
the colonel. HE worked the United
States for all there was in it, He
cleaned up $4,000 net, not counting the
$4,000 he lost against Hungry Joe's
bunco game in New York. Oscar was
a genteel fakir. The Oscar Wilde craze
was his own invention. He worked
the aesthetic craze for every dollar
in sight. Whenever anybody used to
call on him at his hotel he always struck
an attitude, arranged the lilies and sum
flowers, and did everything possible for
effect before the visitor entered; but
the moment the visitar left he became
another man, and was one of the boys.
His 9stheticism was all assumed.
When be returned to England he cut
Off his long hair, got down to business
and gave the Yankees the grand laugh,
The most amusement | ever had
on the Oscar Wilde tour was in Denver,
when Eugene Field got wig and per-
sonated Wilde to perfection. Field in
his makeup took in the town and fooled
everybody. His imitation of Wilde was
very deceptive, and was great hit.
Nobody enjoyed it more than Wilde him
self, who was in the party. Wilde had
his long hair tucked up under cowboy
hat and nobody recognized him, while
everybody took Field for Wilde"

G enuine Mosquitoes.

Philadelphia Times.
One of the pests of life in South
America is the ubiquitous mosquito,
which there attains such an enormous
size and venom that his victims are
numbered by the scores. Not long ago
herd of valuable cattle taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the Mag
dalena river became so desperate under
the attack of the mosquitoes that they
broke from their stalls, jumped into the
water and all were drowned. Passen-
gers intending to make the voyage
usually provide themselves with pro-
lection in the shape of mosquito bars,
head-netS ana thick gloves, and when
on deck are compelled to tie their
sleeves around their wrists and PAN
falcons around their ankles. Even
these precautions are not always
effective. Large as the insects are they
seem to have power to creep through
the smallest crevice, and it is
often necessary to change ones cloth

often when they have attacked boat
and driven its captain and crew below
they have broken the windows of the
cabin by plunging in swarmS against
them and have attempted to burst in the
doors. Although this may be something
OF an eXaggeratiOn, it is nevertheless
true that frequently horses and cattle,
after the most frightful Sufferings, have
died from mosquito bites on board the

Girls as Journalists.

Caroline Cole.
Brightest and best of all are the young
girls who have adopted journalism as a
profession. They are clever, alert, full
of life and wit. They go about. skim
ming the cream of experience and Civ
ing their papers good stuff indeed. They
will make good wives for good editors.
There is plenty of room and real well
come in the newspaper offices for the
sensible, earnest, ambitious girl who
knows what to write and how to write
it. You have doubtless heard the story
of Mrs. Gadabout who paid first visit
to Mrs. Newcomer. and who asked her
what her husband did for living.
Oh" said Mrs. Newcomer. ''he is a
reporter"
''What's that?''
"Why, he goes all about town finding
out things about people and then he
prints it in the newspapers. He earns
$50 a week."
Goodness graciousl Doyou mean to
tell me that people get paid for that,
and | never knew it, screamed Mrs.
Gadabout, as she took up her bonnet
and rushed off to newspaper Office as
fast as she could go.

THEY COULDN'T AGREE.
two Reports From the Creden-
tails Committee on the Virginia


tials Committee on the Virginia
Matter.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June. 20.-Mr. Fuller, of
North Carolina, moved that Col. Robert
q. IngerSoll be asked to make an adj
dress, but the committee on credentials
being ready to report, the regular order
was proceeded with. The chairman of
the credentials committee then adj
Vanced to the platform and made his
report. The report of the committee on
credentials reported in favor of seating
national committee, except i'll cases of
contest. In the nineteen cases of con-
tests the committee recommends the
seating of delegates, as follows: Third
Georgia district, B. A. Dudley, n. J.
Taylor; Tenth Georgia district, r. r.
Wright. Jesse Wimbredi, p. H. Krebs,
o. f. Gardner, with half vote each !;
Fifth Louisiana district, David Young,
George Call; Third South Carolina dis
trict, James R. Torrock, f. l.. Hicks;
Seventh Tennessee district, A. w.
Hughes; Third Maryland district, Will
lam F.Airey, M.Johnson; Third Mas
sachusetts district, A. f. Stevens, John
Borne; District of Columbia, Andrew
Gleason, p. Ii. Carson. The committee
begged leave to submit the fol-
lowing report in the contested cases in
the Virginia delegation. Then followed
long report, which, however, has been
already anticipated in these dispatches.
The announcement contained in the re-
port that the Perry Carson delegation
from the District of Columbia had been
seated was received with applause. 1t
was renewed when the speaker stated
that the
MALONE DELEGATION AT LARGE
had been seated, but the convention
nearly went wild when Mr.. Hepburn
went on to say that Wise also had been
seated. Hardly had the last words of
the speaker died away when Russell,
of North Carolina, began to read the mi
nOrity report. 1t diSsented from the opin-
ion of the majority report, which seated
the Wise district delegates, except from
the Third district. Having read the re-
port without, however, the signatures
attached, Mr.. Russell moved its adop-
ton. A demand for the signatures was
made and they were read: Sharon,
Nevada; Wall, Nebraska; Freeman,
South Carolina; Leonard, North Caro-
lima; q. I'll. Sullivan, Dakota; the latter
excepting to so much of the report as
excluded Senator Riddleberger from the
convention as a delegate. Hill, of Mis-
sisSippi, demanded permission to put his
name upon the minority report and
he was allowed to do so. All that part
of the report that did not refer to the
Virginia contest was unanimously
adopted upon a division of the question,
and upon the question of seating the
delegates at large from Virginia Sena-
tor Riddleberger said there was no real
contest against him in his district, ex-
cept on the part of the gentleman from
North Carolina. At this point Wall, of
Nebraska, rose to the point of order
that the question before the convention
did not relate to Riddleberger's district.
The point was held to be well taken and
the Malone delegates at large were
quickly seated.

Why He Was So Popular.

chicago Herald.
There is story going around that
when Harrison was in the senate and
Gresham in the cabinet, Harrison asked
Bill Holloway of indianapolis one day:
"Bill, why is it Gresham seems to be so
popular?'' Why" replied Bill, ''that's
easily explained. He's one of the boys
After Harrison had thought a minute
or SO, he said; bill, what is it to be one
of the boys?"
Bill nearly tainted from establishment,
but seeing Harrison was in dead earnest,
he replied: "Well, it's to be around
among 'em-go fishing, for instance, and
so forth.'
Harrison never said anything more,
but some days afterward he met Hollo-
way on the street. He seemed to be in
a satisfied state of mind, and, after the
exchange of a few commonplaces, said:
BILL, think have cOunteracted that
Gresham influence among the boys"
''HOw?" asked Bill.
why, my wife and I were fishing on
the flats the other day."

c 1cAGo, June 2o.-On the question
of the adoption of the report relating to
the district delegates, NJ. B. Wood, the
disfranchised Malone delegate, claimed
recognition. He SAID his district was
the Republican stronghold of the state.
Of its 100000 inhabitants the majority
were white Republicans. Large
amounts of capital were now being in
vested in his district and it was great
and growing locality. The speaker pro-
ceeded to give a history of the
circumstances under which the
conventions which elected him
self and the contestants were
held, and appealed to the spirit and 10y
atty of the convention to do him Justice.
Republicanism was gaining in his re-
gion. at this point the speaker was
called to time by the chair, and the chair
continued that the speaker had no stand

well, of Kansas. amid the most enthusi-

yet been seen in the convention, moved
that Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, be asked to
address the convention. The motion
was agreed to, and Gov. Foraker was
introduced, and was received with a
volley of cheers. He said: ale could
not be inSeDsible 10 the compliment
which had been paid if he would. and
he would not if ne could. While he
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him, he said that he
would greatly have preferred If he had
not been called upon. The question
had been asked: What are we here
for?' Laughter Republicans were
here to formulate Republican princi-
pies: they were here to
NOMINATE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
of the United States. The first was
easy to do. Every school boy knew
what the declarations of the convention
would be. Every Democrat as well as
Republican knew what the attitude of
the Republican party was with respect
to the questions which concerned the
American people. Republicanism is

Here broke in Henderson, of Iowa,
with the declaration that the nominee
WOULD NOT GO FISHING
on Decoration day. Continuing, Gov.
Foraker said that the nominee would be
man of good moral character, and
would have some social standing in the
community. He would not only be
man to cherish patriotic recollections,
but would have a record as a Repub-
lican that would be without a spot or
blemiSh. He would take the Repub-
lican standard in his hand and carry it
to victory in the name of Republican
ism without explanation or apology tC
anybody, and when once elected, it
would be his highest business to give
the country Republican administra-
ton. [Applause.]
He would not do it by false pretenses,
he would go straight at the mark. In
conclusion, he said: 1--WE can catch up
the glorious refrain that comes from
Oregon, ond carry it sweeping over the
whole country with magnificent tri-
umph, which will knock Grover Cleve-
land and Old Bandana in 'innocuous
desuetude.'" [Lond and long-continued

SHE WHO WORKS.
The wheels of the world go round and round
In the press of a busy throng,

The wheels of the world go round and round
In the press of busy throng,
Morn with its matin melody
And night with its vesper songs;
The tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea in its ebb and flow,
For there's always one to stay at homo
Where there is one to go.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush of hurrying feet,
The sparks fly out from the wheels of time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow.
There is always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Over and over good byes are said,
In tests that die with the dav.
When eyes are wet that cannotlforget,
And smiles have faded away;
Smiles that are worn as over grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one to CO.
Alwaysione for the little tasks
Of day that is never done:
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone,
And he who fights on the world S broad field,
With banner and blast and drum,
Little dreams of battle gained
BY the one VINO stayed at home.
