A MODEL MANURE PILE.

Fig. l in the cut represents, says
Country Gentleman, manure pile where
these objections are avoided. When the
manure is wheeled out, the foundation is
laid or the base formed in the shape of
regular parallelogram, by driving stakes
at the corners; and if the pile is large
or long one, inserting stakes occasionally
at the sides. A wide plank, as shown at
Fig. 2, allows the wheelbarrow TO dis.
charge its load, and one or more pieces of
plank laid on the top facilitates the work.
In this way, the manure is wheeled out
and placed where it is wanted, with less
labor than for an irregular heap. It is
high, if suitable length or breadth is
given to it.
Such pile may be made more or less
into compost heap, by spreading even
alternating layers Of any absorbent, such
as turf, loan, peat, &c. The thinner
these layers are the more perfectly the
ingredients will be intermiXed when the
heap rots down. Manure which is well
worked together and pulverized after de-
composition is more valuable than ma
nure in unmixed chunks or Jumps, and is
more evenly spread on land.
A very important requisite in saving
and in manufacturing manure is to pre-
serve the right degree of moisture in the
heap. If large quantity of straw litter
has been used, it will need some liquid
addition, either by leaving it exposed to
rains or by turning the liquid manure
upon it. These requirements, which will
vary greatly with circumstances, will de-
eide whether to place the manure heaps
under spacious sheds or otherwise. This
care will be particularly needed in the
smaller heaps for garden use In Fig i
hopper like holes are represented, which
have been cut with a sharp spade after
the heap was completed, into which wa
ter or other liquids may be poured to i'm
part the right degree of moisture, to DO
ascertained by inspection.
This systematic management will easily
admit the small addition of other fertil'
izers in thin layers, such as ground bone
plaster, lime, ashes and guano, to give
additional strength. The manure thus
will be of great value for
many purposes, although large proper
ton will be most conveniently and eco
nomically applied by spreading at once on
the fields as it accumulates from the sta
bles.

INDIANA SAFE FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

Those at a distance and not fully &C
quainted with all the facts in the CASE
may deal in speculation as TO any ques
tion, but when home authorities are hearo
then correct ideas and opinions may be
arrived at. In this connection and for
this reason an editorial from the Indiana.
polls Sentinel is reprinted as showing the
political situation in Indiana.
Governor Porter has formally withdrawn
from the race for the republican nominal
ton for governor. We say withdrawn,
because it is notorious that he has been a
candidate ever since the Chicago conven-
ton. He consented then and there TO 90
upon the ticket to aid in carrying the
state for Harrison. Since then he has
been very industriously engaged in taking
soundings, by which he could determine,
for himself, how much personal risk
ne was taking in going upon
the ticket to aid in the election
of his not too generous rival. The re-
turns surprised him. The field is not at
all in the condition he supposed it was.
To his oft-repeated whispered inquiry,
What do the plain people think about
it!" have come replies in plain English
that have startled him. Mr.. Porter has
been mistaking an honest expression of
friendly regard here and there for a mort.
gage upon the honest convictions of
thinking men. Not only that, he has had
the bad taste to believe that this personal
regard for himself was thing that he
could transfer, for consideration, to his
party associates, and, we regret to say,
that he contemplated doing it. The
parties interested have served notice upon
Mr.. Porter that the card to their esteem,
with which he was favored, is not trans
ferable, that it was never intended for
political uses, and that he has
been abusing its privileges. These are
the considerations that have forced Mr..
Porter's withdrawal. He is the very es-
sence of prudence, in his own interests.
He could hardly afford TO be elected to
oblige Mr.. Harrison and he could not
afford to be defeated at all. No man in
Indiana knows better than he this bright
Monday morning, that Colonel Matson
will be the next governor of Indiana.
This explains all. In the meantime, Colo
onel John @. New has instructed the party
managers to put the machinery in motion
to nominate his bosom friend and trusted
ctony, the Hon. George W. Steele, and, at
the present writing, his instructions are
being followed to the letter.
With Governor Porter forced out of the
race by his fear of defeat, the republican
party of that state loses many vote. And
with Colonel John G. New, the editor of
"rat" office fame, in charge of the republi-
can headquarters, a great many more votes
will be cast for democratic victory. Por-
ter is wise in standing from under the
impending ruin, and Indiana is safely on
the side of good and honest government.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-08-09
THE EXACT STATUS OF THE TARIFF
QUESTION.

Harper's Weekly of the 2Sth, an indie
pendent and thoroughly practical journal
has the following editorial, every word OF
which is indorsed: "The country would
not now elect a free trade administration,
and, however much the arguments which
urge reduction of the surplus by req eal-
ing the taxes uEon necessaries may logi-
cally lead to free trade, no intelligent citi-
zen seriously apprehends that the election
of Mr.. Cleveland would result in closing
the custom houses. There will be no free
trade until the American people prefer
to pay the cost of the government by
direct rather than by indirect taxation.
The arguments for the Cleveland policy
are valid not because they are free
trade arguments, but becsu;e they
urge just and reasonable and
effective method of reducing the surplus,
aud that there is a popular demand for
such reduction is shown by the republican
efforts to devise another method than the
presidents" The cry of "free trade" is
adopted by the republicans in the ex-
tremity OF fear and doubt. They would
deceive the honest voters of the country.
How any one can torture the Mills bill
and the presidential message into free
trade measures or arguments it
is hard indeed to divine. And,
that the republicans are very anx-
ious to show that they, too,
favor some reduction of the revenues that
are flowing into the national treasury and
creating a vast surplus thete, is evidenced
b. the CONSERVATION of he senate, as it
contemplates the Mills bil. that has sue
cessfully passed the house, and as the re-
publican members of that body are found
contending among themselves for some
m easure of reform they know not what
1t is now useless cor them to squirm.
They have been entrspped by the dem
oorats, who have taken a decided and sue
cessful initiative in working out the peo-
Piles redemption from the weight of
onerous taxation that has been uselessly
bearing them to earth. Harper's Weekly
has resolved the situation into its only
ultimate, and the republicans will be made
to face the issue as it really is.

DEATH OF GENnRAL SHERIDAN,

In the demise of this one of the most
distinguished leaders in the civil war we
all recognize the fact that great soldier
has passed away. The course of General
Sheridan towards the south after the close
of hostilities-when the stars and bars
had been furled forever, and we were IN
der the heel of the conquerors-w such as
to preclude any feeling of friendship
toward a man, who,without the magnanim-
ity of Grant, would, it is believed, have
played the tyrant over helpless people
had he been possessed of supreme power.
But he is dead, and in his grave let all
animOsity, all bitter remembrances, be
buried. Let us accord him, even if he
was oar long unreconstructed enemy, the
respect due to military genius which he
undoubtedly displayed in the great revo-
luton, amid the dangerous sublinity of
which be was cast up to the surface. Let his
name receive all the honor and glory
which he won upon the battlefelds of Vir-
ginia. Nor would we rob him of the
fame achieved by his gallantry and bravery
in the face of the armies of the south,
fame that will reach remote ages, and by
which the great trio-Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan-will be known to distant
posterity,

down confederate hopes in the troublous
days gone by, we're two ex-confederate

WHAT OF THE IRRIGATION SCHEME,

We had plenty of rain last spring, we
had oceans of it. We had so much of a
down pour, everything looked SO fresh
and green and prosperous, that all thought
of our ever again being in sore need of
rain to refresh, preserve and guarantee
our crops seemed to depart from every
mind. Every calculation as to supplying
water to the crops by artificial means was
forgotten, the question of irrigation
dropped out of sight. But what of the
condition of affairs now? A good soak
ing rain now would insure a quarter of q
bale more of cotton to the acre. Are we
going to get it? If not what will be the
loss to the individual farmer, and
what to the country Will not this
loss be more than 20 per cent on
the cost of building canal for irrigation
purposesY Will it not be equal to half
the cost of such construction The sur
veys for this canal have been made, the
cost estimated and its practicabllity
demonstrated. Why do the citizens of
Austin and Travis county hesitate to save
themselves yearly from these Losses by
reason of partial failure of crops for want
of water to properly mature them? As a
business proposition it would pay those
who would put up the money to build the
canal, and it needs no proof of the great
advantage it would be to the farmers re-
ceiving the benefit of it. Run this canal,
build factories along its borders, and send
the surplus water over the valleys below
us, and who can estimate the progress and
prosperity of our city and county? 1t
rests with us and the energy and
business grit we possess whether we
achieve the result right at hand if we
will only grasp it. 1t was through the
effort of the board of trade that the
matter has taken shape to its present
stage; will not that association now re-
viye its interest in the matter and push
it to completion? Let not another sum
mer find us at the mercy of drouths that
doom hope to disappointment and cripple
the farming and trade interests of our
county. The canal can be finished by
spring at the farthest. Will we build 1t
