ANALYSIS of Soils.

Some twenty-five or thirty years ago a
few of the more prominent contributors to
the agricultural press were urging the great
importance of an analysis of the soil of
every farm, in order that the owner might
determine for what kind OF crops it was
best adapted, also if it contained tco much
of any one substance or too little of an
other to insure the greatest fertility. The
author of Elements of Agriculture" 1854,
declardd: "The farmer cannot be too
strongly advised to procure an analysis of
his soil, and for obvious reasons.'' The
''obvious reasons" however, consisted
mainly in paying certain clique of self
assumed chemists IS to $40 for half. way
analysis of few ounces of soil. Hundreds
of farmers believed there was something in
the new theoretical agriculture, and paid
their hard-earned cash only to find out
that the analysis Of few ounces of soil
taken from one place on their farm was OF
really no practical use in determining the
fertility or barrenness of that which had
not been analyzed. If the soil of the en-.
tire farm to the depth of one OF two feet
could be thoroughly inter-mingled and then
ton or more of this analyzed, we might
make a very close guess as to the amount
of valuable constituent an acre contain
or was needed to make the soil fertile, Oh
adapted to the growth of certain kinds o.
plants. But as the chemist only proposed
to analyze few ounces of soil, his worl
would be of little value to the practlca
farmer.

Raising Geese and Ducks.

Geese are not profitable unless one has a
suitable place for keeping them. A strip of
low, moist land affording green grass all
summer and adjacent to pond, or with a
small brook running through it, will just
suit them. When raised on the bank of a
river or a smaller stream subject to sudden
freshets they need watching, else they may
take ride aud go so far as never to come
back. Many persons are quite fond of fat
young geese, and when markated in that
condition they usually bring good price,
but tough, old geese are hard to sell at any
price. They may commonly be picked
twice year, and the feathers will about
pay for their keeping. Ducks are more
profitable than geese, as they mature earlier.
lay more eggs and sell better in market
They are the greatest scavengers of the
feathered tribe, and of all others have the
best faculty of making their own living
Neither geese nor ducks should be allowed
on the grass plot around the house. Pekin
Rouen and Aylesbury ducks and Fmbder
and Toulouse geese are large and favorit,
varieties.

The cultura Of ArtichOkss.

Artichokes are of two kinds; one is the
tender. succulent, globular head of a plant
which has much of the good qualities OF
asparagus, and the other is the tuberous
root of species of sunaower, and is called
Jerusalem or Brazilian artichoke. The
former is grown from seed planted in rich
soil in hills three by two feet apart, and
as it is perennial, like asparagus, it yields a
crop every year after the first, when only a
small quantity is produced. A basket OF
seed costs 10 cents The other kind is not
really an artichoke, although it is so called.
1t is planted and cultivated as potatoes are,
the tubers being cut into pieces, andskthe
plants should be four feet apart each way.
1t is exceedingly productive; 1900 bushels
per acre are common yield; but as it roots
very deeply all the tubers cannot be
gathered, and the plants once cultivated
willtoccupy the ground as troublesome
weeds tor years afterward. The tubers
are sold at the seed stores for $1.50 the
peck. There is no necessity for any fur.

or INTEREST TO FARMERS
nnrn for Rrnedinp nnwa.

Most authorities say, and truly, that
grain, and especially corn meal, should not
be fed to cows with calf. 1t is too fatten-
ing, and increases the danger from milk
fever or other diseases at farrowing time.
But an old farmer tells us that he has al
ways practised giving few ears of corn
daily to cows for a week or two before caly-
ing. His cows always do well, drop their
calves without difficulty, and he regards
this feed as one of the causes of their easy
parturition. The corn is not enough in
amount, or continued long enough to fat
ten, and probably its beneficial effect is due
to its influence in keeping the bowels open.
Corn is laxative food, especially if fed in
the ear, and where roots cannot be had, it
may in such cases be substituted for
them

a DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT.

Whenever possible it is good thing,
says the Minnea polls Tribune, to quote
democratic authority. Mr.. Samuel j. Ran
dali, the lifelong democrat from Penn
sylvania, and one of the most reliable men
in the country, made the following state
ment while discussing the Mills bill:
E.Muoh has been said about removing
taxes upon 'necessaries' and imposing
them upon 'luxurias.' What does the bill
propose to do in that direction? Itgives
free olive oil to the epicure, and taxes
plate TO the Standard Oil Company and
to the greet meat canning monOpolies and
imposes a duty 100 per cent on rice; it
gives the sugar trust free bone black, and
proposes prohibitory duties on grocery
grades of sugar; it gives free licorice to
the tobacco manufacturer, while retaining
prohibitive duties on manufactured to-
bacco; it imposes a duty of 40 per cent.

animals imported by the gentlemen of
the turf, and makes free the paintings and
statuary of the railway millionaire and
coal baron" As a rule democratic state
ments on the tariff issue are not alto
gether trustworthy, and it is with great
pleasure the Tribune finds it possible to
give its unqualified assent to a demo-
cratic argument in relation to this all alb
sorbing political topic. Democrats
should read it over again, and read it
slowly. It takes time and close attention
to understand democrat who argues for
protection.

AN EXPLODED CALuMNY.
The True Facts in Regard to the Railroad
Strike of 1S77-Democratic Liars
and CaIumniators.

The Democratic managers, having eX-
ploded all their other charges against
Gen. Harrison to no purpose, have fallen
back upon their old calumny that the
General during the railroad strike of
1877 declared that the strikers ought to
be shot down, and that a dollar a day
was enough for them. The Democratic
organs have promptly taken the cue,
and are now ringing the changes upon
the worn out falsehood again with the
desperate design of injuring Gen. Harri-
son among workingmen.
The circumstances which have led I'D
to the revival of this infamous calumnv
may be briefly told. They contain in
themselves its complete refutation At
the outset it may be said that there is
good reason to believe that Barnum and
Brice are at the bottom of it, though
members Of the notorious Sim Coy gang
are the ones who pretended to stand as
sponsors. The indianapolis Journal re-
Gently offered $4,000 to any person who
would substantiate the charge that Gen.
Harrison made either of the declara-
tons stated above. Deputy Unites States
District Attorney Bailey, former mem
Der of the gang, urged on by the Demo-
cratic managers, secured alleged state
m6n(S from a OOZen OF more OF the SCr1k-
ers that they heard Gen. Harrison utter
these statements, and they We're incorpo-
rated in general article signed by E.
F. Gould, Secretary Of a local knights
of Labor assembly, given out to the
Democratic papers, and published far
and wide. Before paving out the money
the friends oS Gen. Harrison thoroughly
investigated the circumstances under
which the article was prepared and the
character of those who had signed the
statements. The investigation had not
gone far before several CT the alleged
signers repudiated them altogether, and
of the remainder not one was willing to
go before a notary and attest the truth
OF his statement. Then the calumny
collapsed at once; but not content with
this the friends Of General Harrison put
an effectual quietus upon it by obtaining
the sworn statements of members Of the
Strikers Committee with whom Gen.
Harrison mad communicated and who
were IN position to know every word
he had uttered, to the effect that he had
not made one Of the remarks attributed
to him by the Democratic gang who
were eager not only to iniure him but to

We cannot conceive how an honest
negro can support the Democratic ticket.
The Democrats have always advocated
the doctrine that the negro had no rights
which the white man is bound to re-
spect. They have tried to establish a
connecting link, or rather, identity be-
tween the negro and the monkey. They
degraded him TO the level of the brute
creation according him the treatment
below that of a favorite dog or horse.
They beat. shaved and killed the negro
and his offspring without any fear of the

bleach out the race contrary to all Chris
