Wonders of the New Agriculture.

A. N. Cole, writing from Wellsville, n
Y, under date of Sept 3, to the New York
Sun says; The embryo is just appearing in
the most phenomenal oaulifower plant
probably ever sesn on earth. Ten days ago
it was Is feet in circuit of the outside
stretch of leaves and feet in hight. To-day
is gathering in its spread of umbrella and
folding its leaves about the flower, and it
stands breast high, and the outside stretch
of leaves has circuit of "a feet, and prom
ises cauli1ower head filling the top of a
half bushel, perhaps even of bushel bas-
kst. Tho nights are cold, days cool, and
tho growth OF the flower is correspondingly
slow.
Tomorrow will be the first day of our
fair, and Friday the last. Had my hot
water appliances in play, and could l for
four days and nights pass vapors at the
bottom heat of 90 through the sponge on
which stands this mammoth thing of mar

southern Texas, having opportunity of root

duce within nine months of growth, devel-
opment and fruition not less than 100 bushels
Of tomatoes of mammoth size and absolute

The Farm Gate.

John NJ. Stahl Of Illinois, writes
in the Southern Cuttirator that among
the best paying things on tho farm is a sub
s.antial gate 1t pays so well because of
tine time it saves over laying down feuce,
or king out bars, il will save enough
time to nay for itself fifty times over be-
foYe it is worn out. 1t IL a pity that the
man who discovered bars did not die in in
fancy. II bars were unknown there would

best is the cheapest in the end. But the

gether or to join them with clinchable nails
than to make mortices and lemons; and the
gate will be as strong and durable. The
most easily made gate, and it is good one,
requires five boards of the length that the
gate is TO be wide, six cross pieces and the
braces The cross pieces are bolted or nailed
to each other and through the boards one at
each side at the ends and in the middle of the
boards. Common fencing boards six inches
wide and one inch thick answer well for
long pieces, cross pieces and braces.
Much depends upon the post to which the
gate is hung; the other post is not so impor

Raise Your Own Pork.

Waldo f. Brown says he is almost afraid
to touch pork shipped from the pork packing
cities, for the reason that he has known of
many carloads of cholera hogs being
shipped from localities infected
with the disease, and he knows
that thousands of hogs are fed
fed on still-slop, in filthy, crowded pens;
and he can't go their lard, for he has been
in the large rendering establishments and
seen how pure leaf lard" % is made. Five
hundred hogs heads-ears, eyes, teeth and
snout-are thrown into tank, then so
much gut fat, so much trimmings, and the
product runs off LEAF lard" Mr.. Brown
lives in the pork-producing regions of
Ohio, and hence ought to be well posted
with reference to the matter of which he
writes,

Before the Committee to In
vestigate Charges of
Corruption.
Aid. Melady Opposed to Ex-
perimenting With Ele-
waited Railroads.
Condition Of the State Banks
for the First Six Months
of 1888.
Matters Of Moment Collected
by the Cleaners for
the Globe.

"Oaths, and How They Are Admin
istered," was the subject of lively
conversation yesterday afternoon in the
city council chamber. Aid. Cullen and
Aid. Melady were the chief disputants,
and the subject was preached as to
what kind of an oath the committee APP
pointed to investigate charges of bribery
made by Aid. Gehan would administer.
Aid. Cullen thought the ordinary oath
would not be SO binding as in a court of
Justice, and after the opinion had been
should be according to the religious be-
lief of the person taking it, the ques-
ton was raised as to how Chinese take
an oath. There was no definite in
formation on the point, though Aid.
Cullen ventured the suggestion that it
was by means OF cutting off the head of
a chicken.
A meeting was to have been held of
THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED
to investigate the charges made
by Aid. Gehan before the city council.
These charges are O that Aid Gehan
was offered by B. l. Brayton $1,000 or a
lot valued at $1,000 for his vote in favor
of the EnOs Electric Railway ordinance;
(2) that people had received money to
influence other aldermen in favor of the
ordinance. The meeting was called for
2:30 O'Clock, but at that hour Aid. Gull
len and Melady were the only commit
teemen who had put in an appearance.
Half an hour passed, and still the other
members did not appear, and the
meeting was adjourned indefinitely.
The absent members were Aid. Kava-
nagh, Hamm, and Minea, and it was
stated that the Democratic convention
prevented their attendance. Aid. Gull
len called the meeting, and explained
that he overlooked the convention when
he decided upon Wednesday for the
committee to meet. Aid. Gehan was
not present; but it was not intended to
take any evidence for and against the
charges made, but simply to formulate
the business, scope and order to be OBJ
served in the Investigation. 1t is stated
that brother will substantiate part of
Aid: Gehan's story of Brayton's offer.
Aid. Melady said with regard to the
granting of franchise to the Enos
ElectTic railway: Il DelleVe tnat an
elevated railroad will have detrimental
effect upon property Oh the streets it
passes through and, therefore, | oppose
granting any company the franchise. [

council chamber, it is not fair to ex-

JoBBERs ON THE WAR PATH.
Iowans Are Up in Arms Against
Railroads.

DAVENPORT, To-, Aug. ia meet
ing of the jobbers and manufacturers of
the commercial cities in Iowa was held
here last evening to consider the new
tariffs proposed by the Iowa railroads.
Several speakers, among them Gov.
Larrabee, and w. II. Forbert, of Du-
buque. who asserted that the railroads
had filled the papers with misrepresen-
tations, charging the people of Iowa
with efforts to ruin their property. All
this was stamped as untrue, and
the railroads denounced in bit
ter terms, and charged with
unjust treatment of the business men of
Iowa. Gov. Larrabee made the asser-
ton that the railroad companies had
determined to punish the people of
Iowa for daring to assert their rights,
and the managers of the roads are re-
solved that the shippers and the masses
of the people shall not exercise right or
privilege in this matter Of controlling
freights. He had carefully investigated
the new schedule prepared by the state
commissioners, and was satisfied that
the rates were not unjust.
i A committee was appointed to draw
up plan of action against the railroads.
No secret is made of the fact that steps
are being taken for legal fight.

Report for June Shows a Decrease

Report for June Shows a Decrease
r. in Gross Earnings.
The Chicago, Burlington & Northern
road has published its report of business
for the month of June, which makes a
decidedly unfavorable appearance, and
does not indicate much prosperity in the
road. 1t shows, says the Chicago
Times, gross earnings of STU. oO4. a de-
crease of SOS, 633 as compared with the
same month of last year, and net earn
ings of 500, 121, decrease of $40, 379.
ms makes the gross earnings for the
first half OF the year S195,362, a decrease
of S444, 922 as compared with the first half
of 1887, and net S33,O1S, a decrease
OF S2S6, 739. The fixed charges for the
six months were $4,000, and with
taxes included the deficiency must be
over 100000. This deficiency will un-
questionably have to be made good
by the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy in addition to the
other losses it is constantly
meeting. and yet some of the directors
and others insiders of the latter corpora
ton are trying to compel the company
to buy the Burlington IL Northern on
the basis OF solvent corporation. 1t is
said that the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy people have tried to get the st.
Paul, Minneapolis Il Manitoba COM
pany, or those most largely interested
in that road, to join with them in the
purchase of the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern, but James J. Hill has politely
but emphatically declined to partici-
pate in such deal or to administer to
the comfort of the speculative directors
of the Quincy, who are responsible for
the existence of the Chicago, Burling-
ton q Northern road. The June state
ment OF this roads earnings and ex-
ment over that of May, and it is ex-
pected that net earnings hereafter will
be relatively better.'
