Of the animal at distance OF about two
rods, as have noticed for years that there
is great similarity 10 the general proper
ton OF all first class mixers; being very
small in girth just back OF their forward
legs, as compared with their girth just for
ward Of their bips. ! have never known

proportional. So, il this form is wanting

Of the largest finger. Next examine by
sight and touch the ndder or bag, which
must be capacious in order to hold much
milk, with teats wide apart. and free from
large sea warts or sores OF any kind; ]

How to Manage Poultry Manure.

The subject Of the care OF poultry ma
nure was discussed at meeting OF the
Pennsylvania State Board of Agriculture
wien it was advised: First-To allow the
droppings to remain in or near the poul-
try house, aud at regular intervals sprinkle
plaster or dry soil over them 10 order to
prevent loss by evaporation. Sufficient
dry soil should be added to keep the pile
moist and prevent it drying up so as to
render the application to the crop difficult
Second-To gather up the droppings a.
intervals and place them 10 tight barrels
beng careful to cover each layer with plas,
ter. dry soil or road dust When ready for
application, when dry, it my be mixed
With varying amount Of soil and above d
TO lie uutil the whole IL moist enough to
crumble readily, when. BY sboyeliug over
a few times. the mixture eau be easily and
readily applied to The crop Either of
these plans will prevent loss by evupors-
ton aud attain the same end. No plan
was proposed where poultry is not kept
under shelter, but it was decided that the
increased value Of the droppings would
soon pay for roof

WAR TALK DENOUNCED.
London Papers Assaii the Standard
for its Violent Utterances.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-The Pail Mall Gazette
denounces the Standard for violent utteran-
ces on the fishery question and charges the
paper with outraging the good feeling which
ought to exist between Great Britain and the
United States.
The Star, t. p. O'Connor's paper, regrets
that the Standard has not followed the ex-
ample Of the Canadian ministers, who, while
vigorously defending the treaty, have care
fully refrained from embittering the eontro-
versy by the language of insult in which the
Standard reyels The American bark, in
stress of politics, 1t says, is worse than its
bite. 1t does not doubt but that after the
election, the fisheries question will be salts
factiorily settled.
The st. James Gazette redicules the idea of
war between Great Britain and the United
States, Nnd suggests that the rejection of the
fishery treaty has given England the oppor-
tunity to ascertain how far an imperial fed
Grafton can be made serious reality, or
whether it must remain a sentimental wish.

oLoNEL CARR AT LISBON.
Tho Old Roman and the Good Old
Democratic DAYS.

LISBON FALLS, Sept. 3.-Hon. Clark Z.
Carr, of Illinois, addressed large and en-
thusiastic meeting of Republicans at this
village this evening. The attendance Of la
boring men was unusually large, and their
earnest attention showed that they are think
ing on the great question before the people.
Col. Carr said:
COL. CARR's SPEECH.
The "old Roman" Mr.. Allen G. Thurman,
has since l left Illinois sounded over the
prairies the reverberations produced by the
frequent use of his red bandanna handker-
chief. Laughter This utilizing Of the red
bandanna as campaign ensign in this way
reminds one of the frequent expression just
before Abraham Lincoln took possession of
the government, and while the Democrats
were in power, that under Democratic rule
washington was so corrupt that the man in
the moon had to hold his nose as he passed
over the city," Loud laughter 1t is a mat
ter of congratulation that the Democrats are
learning during this campaign the uses of
pocket-handkerchiefs. II they continue in
derstand the objects and uses of soap and
towels, and combs and tooth brushes. and
the result will inevitably be to land them in
the Republican party. Ii they continue in

1t is an interesting subject of enquiry as to
what kind of an "Old Roman" Mr. Allen G.
Thurman is. That he is old cannot be de-
nied and it is shown conclusively by the
character of his speeches that he has passed
the age of strength and mental vigor. He is
certainly very respectable old gentleman.

him than that given by Mr.. Blaine, in his
Twenty Years of Congress-, but If ever a

speeches. If Roman lin any sense, he is

ELLSWORTH, Sept. 3.-Hon. James G.
Blaine, Hon. John A. Kasson and Gen. Fair
child addressed the Republicans of Els
worth and other parts of Hancock county,
this afternoon. The meeting was held in
Hancock Hall, and every inch of available
space was occupied. The audience number
ed nearly 1000, notwithstanding the post
ponement from Saturday. Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin was present during part of the af-
ternoon. Mr.. Blaine had stayed here over
Sunday, as the guest of Mrs. Hale. This
morning he and his son Walker took a long
drive. and at 2.45 D. m. he entered the crowd
ed hall, where he was enthusiastically re-
eeived.
Upon Mr.. Blaine's being presented by Mr..
j. G. Chilcott, the chairman as ''Maine's
honored son, whose fame is as wide as the
world" the enthusiasm was renewed. The
speech which Mr.. Blaine then made, his
shortest in this campaign, occupied just 13
minutes, and it largely covered the ground
which he has previously traversed. In open
ing he said:

MR.. BLAINE ON THE FISHERIES.
iuJury to Portland Through the Pow
er Asked by the President.

New YORK, Sept 3-The Mail and Ex-
press correspondent at Ellsworth, Me-, inter-
viewed Mr.. Blaine ON the fisheries question
today. Mr.. Blaine said, in effect, that the
fishing season is over. Nearly all of the
American vessels have returned, and Cana
da will have none to operate upon until the
summer of 1889. Iu the meantime, anything
she may or may not do is matter of su-
preme indifference to the fishermen. There
fore, it is better not to clothe the present
President with any additional powers, since
he has shown his utter incompetency to deal
with the general subject, but let him carry
out the present law, as he is bound to do,and
this alone may bring Canada to her senses,
and secure us justice at her hands. For Re-
publicans to vote for the bill reported by
Mr. BelmOnts committee in the House of
Representatives, would be a confession by
them that the Presidents conduct in refus-
ing to carry out the present law was justified,
and would put power into his hands which
he would WELD for partisan purposes. 1t is
much better to let the matter lie over until
new administration shall come in, which
will be better prepared to handle the matter,
free from the excitements of our pending po-
lltical contests, and In ample time to protect
every interest. To allow the President now
to stop the export business of Canada
through the United States would seriously
Interfere with several of our home transpor-
tation lines, especially those leading to Port
land, and correspondingly depress the entire
commerce of this port. 1t would also afford
Canada pretext for increasing her demands
in retaliation for such inhabitation, and rem
der more difficult general settlement by ne
gotiation.
