HARRISON ON THE CHINESE.
A Letter Written by the General to
a ST. Louis Clergyman.


a ST. Louis Clergyman.
From the e-Democrat.
The Rev. j. B. Brandt, of this city,
wrote letter to General Harrison in
February last inclosing a newspaper
clipping concerning his (Harrison's
position on the Chinese question. He
received the following reply:
"INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Feb. 30, 1888.
Rev J. B. Brandt, st. Louis, Mo.
"MY DEAR SIG:-YOur kind letter
of February % has been received. L
am very much obliged to you for the
kind interest which you take in my
behalf. You knew me well enough
while here to know that 1 am no
schemer for place, and 1 have not
fallen from grace in that respect since
you left here.
81 did vote with the great body Of
the republicans in the senate against
the Chinese restriction bill, as it was
called. 1t seemed to me then to be in
violation Of our treaty with China, and
it was a little hard for me to let 60 of
the old idea that this was the free
home of all corners. Think there has
been a very general change of senti-
ment on that subject since. We do
not need to ask anybody to come to
this country now, as we formerly did,
and 1 think we have right:to pre-
serve our own institutions by exercis-
ing a fair election as to who shall
come here. 1 do not like that class of
immigration that comes in gangs that,
can be driven into pens and on ship
board, and hired, not by personal cone
tract, but by bosses, and the Chimes
immi grafton is very much of this sort
Very truly yours.

from mice and borers. ] scatter about
two shovelfuls of good ashes around
each tree annually and have little trouble
from borers. Last year neglected to
look after my apple-trees quite closely
enough and when the snow was gone /
found twenty or more gnawed by mice,
some of them entirely around. Some
were gnawed two feet from the ground
in spots. | also found where mice had
dug up the little bulbs that grow at the
base of timothy stalks and piled up
little heaps of them-as many as a
quart or two in a place. l spent a
whole day splinting up the trees and
bridging over the wounds, and every
tree is alive, with good prospects of
outgrowing the trouble. Now / would
decidedly object to scattering grain in
the hollows for the mice to feed upon
and feed their families. / would as
soon make some toothsome dainty and
place it in the potato-feld for the bugs
to rejoice over. My experience has de-
stroyed all sympathy for the pests that
are ready to eat up or destroy our crops,
currant-bushes and vines. / think the
best treatment for the mice is to take a
few apples, slice them into pieces and
sprinkle them with Paris green; then,
with sharp-pointed stick, put the
pieces into the tone-wall or the burrows
which the mice frequent. Do this di-
rectly after the snow goes off, when
the ground is bare of vegetation, and
very few will escape. As protection to
the trees the snow should be trodden
down-not only at first, but later on.
Armed with snow-shoes and stub
broom, 1 find can do rapid and effect
i've work. / think | can treat fifty
trees an hour in good shape. The
snow does not need to be trodden hard 3,
as the mice will not try to burrow
where the snow is disturbed enough to
cause it to freeze. l think space two
feet in diameter around each tree is
sufficient. L. SWIFT, Middlesex, Vt.
REMARKS BY EDITOR.-Will Mr..
Swift be kind enough to inform us
how to save the gnawed trees and
describe how he bridges over the
gnawed places? The information might
be worth a great many dollars to our
roodprs If tho mica havn uirdln6 fheir
trees during the winter, and they will
probably be able to find out before
June, as the snow will no doubt be
chiefly gone before then.

grind with it one bushel of western
corn and twenty-five pounds of bran.
Take four quarts of this and two quarts
cotton-seed meal, mix thoroughly and
feed two quarts of this to each COW

eaten they are watered, the water being
warmed to seventy degrees. Then the
stables are cleaned and the cows bedded
with sawdust; thus they are kept as
clean as in summer. After being
watered, they are tied up and have a
light feed of hay. At three p. NJ. the
same process, except watering, is re-
peated. The COWS being clean, the milk
is clean and is carried direct to the

Hens on a Strike.

should like to know why our hens
laid such large eggs and so many of
them when they first began to lay, in
December and January, and why the
eggs are so small and there are so few
of them now, when we usually have an
abundance. l do not think they eat
them, for l have not seen any signs of
it; and there are no thin-shelled eggs,
as we usually have at this time of the
year, after the hens have been laying
all winter. They seem well and have
been kept in about the same manner as
we have always kept them, except that
they had considerable milk through Ian
uary, both in curd and to drink. W.
REMARKS BY EDIToR.-Probably the
reason is that the price of eggs has got
so low that it offers no inducement to
hen of any kind of financial talent to
put in the amount of cackling necessary
for eggs of quality and quantity fur
nished when they sold at thirty cents a
dozen. A.C. WIS hens are much more
valuable than those of the man who said
they never would begin to lay much till
eggs got down to ninepence a dozen.
If any one can give a better reason it
will be thankfully received.

Fertilizing Corn.

When Professor Stockbridge in 1874
made the announcement that the analy-
sis of crop should indicate the amount
and kind of fertilizer required for pro-
ducing it, he allowed siXty-four pounds
of nitrogen, seventy-seven pounds of
actual potash and thirty-One pounds of
soluble phosphoric acid as the quaint
ties of plant-food needed for producing
fifty bushels of shelled corn and its
natural proportion of slower. All fer
tile soils contain these forms of plant
food in greater or less amount, and un-
less we know just what our soils do con-
tain we can not know exactly how much
to apply artiticially to obtain the de-
sired results. So, in addition to weather
influences, there is the uncertainty of
the soil influence upon our future crop.
The manufacturers of good corn fertil-
izers recommend applying from 500 to
l 200 pounds per acre, while farmers
actually extend the range from 400
pounds or less to 1000 pounds or more.
A good standard corn fertilizer should
contain of available nitrogen about five
pounds to the hundred, of actual potash
at least four pounds and of available
phosphoric acid twelve pounds. AS
neither the potash nor the phosphoric
acid is wasted by the application of a
double quantity, it is advisable to apply
these in excess of probable needs of
present crops. just as we apply an eX-
cess when coarse stable manures are
used for corn, which benefits the future
crops of grass. If the corn looks
hungry at any time during its early
growth, light sprinkling of nitrate of
soda may be applied on the surface to
give it more vigor. The best way to
apply fertilizer for corn is to spread
half or three-fourths broadcast and cul-
tivate it in few inches deep and
sprinkle the balance along the rows at
time of planting, being careful not to
let the fertilizer and seed come in di-
rect contact.-NeU England Farmer

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP.-You
have been told that consumption is in
curable-that when the lungs are at
tackled by this terrible malady the suf-
ferer is past all help and the end is a
mere question of time. You have
noted with alarm the unmistakable
symptoms of the disease; you have
tried all manner of so-called cures in
vain, and you are now respondent and
preparing for the worst. But don't
give up the ship while DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery remains UNI

perform miracles, but it has cured
thousands of cases of consumption in
its earlier stages where all other
means had failed. Try it and obtain a
new lease of life.

The Massachusetts board of health
reports that oleo is a pure, clean, whole
some food. If so, why does the board
oppose our efforts to have it sold for
what it is? The board of health knows
perfectly well from experience that as
long as oleo is colored like butter it
will be sold for butter and at butter
prices. This is the opinion of several
of its own employees who do the actual
work of apparently enforcing existing
laws. The board of health seems to be
keeping company with the Boston milk
inspector. An inspection of these Off
