FARM NOTES.

Experiments show that cabbage and
lettuce when the leaves are brought to-
pether and tied, head earlier than when
left open.
Now that the turnip crop is growing,
the young plants must be kept clean and
the soil loose. The crab grass will quick
ly destroy the crop allowed to root
among the young turnip plants.
Lime, in fine condition, sprink'ed on
the vines and around them, will greatly
assist in protecting cucumber and squash
from bugs. Ssltpeter teaspoonfui dis

lection.
The use of small evaporation will save
many bushels of fruit. On some farms
apples are allowed to fall and remain on
the ground. A little labor would evap'
crate them aud make them available for
winter use.
The warmer the weather the more rap.

system is better for securing large Der

pulling of weeds, and the grass also take
possession. Something depends on tn
kind of soil, however, and the two system
should be tried together by experiment

Feeding Too Much and Too Often.

There can be great saving made by
reducing the amount of concentrated
food fed and increasing the degrees oil
comfort and care of animals.
We do too many things without thought.
We pile up the food before our animals
and do not take heed how they eat, or
how much or what the effects are. One
man will shove the meal into the man
gers of his fattening animals without
stopping to consider whether they re,
ouire the half Of 1t, and another Will feed
all alike-although some of them may b"
in a securing condition-and then won

so, when they were al fed alike.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Henry d. Pierce Of
indianapolis, relative of Vice President
Hendricks and formerly law partner of Sem
ator Turpie of Indianapolis, and for a long
time assistant United States District Attor-
ney for Indiana, is staying with his family
at "Normandie-by-the-Se near Long
Branch. His father, Winslow S. Pierce.
who recently died at his home in New York,
was well known throughout the country as
an answering Democrat. active in every
campaign to the present from (and including)
that of Franklin Pierce, whose cousin he
was. The son, like the father, has always
been Democrat, the father having been the
friend and adviser of Stephen A. Douglass,
Samuel j. Tilden, and twice brother-in-law
of Thomas A. Hendricks, having married
both of the Governors sisters.
Mr.. Pierce being asked by a reporter
recently as to the prospects in In
diana, said that the assurances of Harrison's S
carrying that State grew stronger every
hour. and added Zone does not need to be
told the discouraging result of the recent
Democratic poll of the State; he has but to
mingle with the quiet, unobtrusive voters
to hear on every hand the most determined
and deep-seated expression of President
Cleveland's personal unpopularity, as we'll
as widespread opposition to his free-trade
imposition upon his party. Two instances
will serve as examples. A leading citizen
whose close relations with Vice President
Hendricks. if the nature of them were men,
toned. would at once disclose his identity,
told me it was hard to vote against his party,
but that he did not think # s would be posi-,
poses as the only Democrat in the land.
Another influential citizen, a business man
greatly respected, said to me short time
ago: Il have always been Democrat, but ]
will vote for our States pride, Ben Harrison,
though / shall say little, because L do not
conrt the abuse of Democratic journals.
This gentleman added: But for the abuse
of the newspapers, l should proclaim my in.
tention publicly however, shall in quiet
way do quite as much service for Harrison
as a husiness man.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
poRrLANp 6 oeDENspURa

In the lease of the Portland & Ogdensburg
to the Maine Central it will be remembered
that the city stock was placed at q, ,0O5 shares
valued at $2,20O,500. There was also an
amount of stock. say 1885 shares valued at
S2S3, 800, which the city claimed in addition
to the zoos shares, and which the courts
had not yet adjudlcated upon. These 1886
shares added to the 22,005 shares would make
24,S4o shares valued at 81, ,4S4,0 900. These ad-
ditional shares. it is rumored on the street,
the Maine Central wish to reduce to 1862 2-5
shares, or $156, ,240, on the ground that S127,-
260 has already been paid by the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad Company ON coupons
on bonds issued by the city in aid of the
railroad. If this claim, it is rumored, is al
lowed by the city, and if the court decides in
favor of the city on this disputed stock, then
the 1862 2-5 shares will draw interest from
the beginning of the lease to the Maine Gen.
trial. one per cent for the first two years and
two per cent thereafter. OF course If the
court decides against the city's claim why
the additional stock is lost. Among those
best qualified to Judge, however, the feeling,
seems to be that if the city's claim is good for
the $156,24O, it is equally good for the S127,-
26O or for the whole $2S3,5OO which repre-
sents the 1886 shares
