CHANCES OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.


CHANCES OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Special.-The Democratic
majority in the House appears to have been scared
out of its wits-such they are-by the spook of
the Greenback party. Ex-Presidental Candidate
Weaver is responsible for it. When Chairman
wilkins first called up the National Bank bill,
nearly all the Democrats seemed to be In favor
Of it, Genera Weaver soon whipped them into
the traces He went among them and in substance
said " Gentlemen this bill must not pass. II you
allow il to pass this House. give you TAR WarIl-
ing that not Grcenback vote in Mlshlgan or VS.
consin or Iowa or any other Western State shall
your candidate for the Presidency receive. That
is the ultimatum. You may accept it or you
NAV reject it, as suits your pleasure
of carrying Michigan and Wisconsin, and some
who are especially enthusiastic declare that the
party has a lighting chance In Iowa also these
homes are all based on the expectation tnat the
Grecnbacl<ers will sOldly support Mr.. CleVeand
for reelection. OF course. the bushwhacKers VINO

to prevent a vote on the Bank bill. give an

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat, and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to
the lungs producing Consumption and
to the head, causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with
promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. As soon as
you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain
a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
1t will give you immediate relief.

II is always better to plant small
trees than large ones. They are more
easily and cheaply moved, recover
sooner and grow more rapidly. A
transplanted tree two or three feet
high will soon overtake and surpass a
much larger one, and will grow into
a more vigorous and beautiful speci-
men. Z A vast amount of money and
great of time is wasted every year in
trying to transplant large trees. 1t is
not essential in digging up trees TO
preserve a large ball of earth about
the roots. A very heavy mass OF earth
often breaks the tender roots. and is
therefore a danger rather than an
advantage to the tree. 1t is essential,
however, to preserve as many of the
small feeding roots as possible, and
care must be taken in digging a tree
not to unnecessarily break or multi
ate them. All broken roots should be
carefully cut away with a sharp knife
before the tree isreplanted. Care must
be taken not to expose the roots to
the drying influence Of the sun and
wind. They should be covered, as
soon as the tree is dug, with a piece
of cloth or mating, or they may be
dipped in wet mud until they become
thoroughly coated, The secret of sue
cessful transplanting is to have the
soil brought into close and immediate
contact with the roots. 1t is better,
therefore, to plant dry and not in wet,
rainy weather: The coating of mud
not only protects the roots from drying
but helps the earth thrown about to
adhere more closely. Two men are
required to plant a tree. The hole
should be twice the width of the mass
of roots, and the bottom should be
worked fine with a spade. One man
should then hold the tree erect, with
its roots carefully spread out in all
directions in the hole, while the sec
ond man should break the soil taken
from the hole, so as to make it as fine
as possible, and then let it fall from
the spade down upon the roots, while
the first man should lift the tree gent
" up an down that the fine earth may
penetrate and fill all cavities about
the roots. When the hole is nearly
filled in this way the earth should be
pressed down with the foot, begin
ming at the outside Of the hole and
working in toward the stem of the
tree. The hole may then be filled
and the soil rammed down solid. Tall
trees should be carefully and securely
staked as soon as planted. The oper-
alton is then finished. 1t is not I'M
common to see water being poured
into the hole while it is being filled
up. This practice does harm rather
than good, as it washes the fine soil
away from close contact with the
roots.

CARE OF FARM TooLS.-Pass by a
farm where the gates are sagging, the
fences down, the mower or reaper out
in the field, plough rusting in a cor
ner, and other implements remaining
where they were last used, and we
quickly pass our mental verdict on
their owner as farmer. Even il he
makes good crops, here are leaks
which allow profits to drain off, more
or les. rapidly, but surely. "a place
for everything and everything in its
place" has nowhere more force and
appositeness than on the farm. Time,
labor, patience, temper, all are saved
by recognition and practice of this
golden maxim. Every tool should
have its place, and, as soon as used,
should be cleaned and put in its place.
Oil such as require that treatment,
using some sort that has no salt in it.
Flows, harrows, spades and hoes, all
should have this attention. Then,
when you go to work, your time is not
wasted in getting your tools into
proper order.
