to the Associated Press that she desired it
to be known that the statements so gen
orally made in the religious and secular
press to the effect that the Women's
Christian Temperance union requires its
members to lend their influence to the

them disloyal, is totally incorrect. Mem

In their desperation the en-
cmies of Tariff Reform falsely
cry that the Mills Bill was
framed in the special interest
Of the South. Well, as the
proposition to remove the
wool duties is the most impor-
tant provision of the contcm-
plated law, it may be asked;
What is the sectional aspect
of that provision? The South
ern States, the representatives
Of which almost unanimously
voted for free wool, raised
nearly twice as many sheep as
the Middle States and New
England put together. Texas,
Kentucky and Missouri arise
more sheep than the Middle
and New England States com.
bincd. The farmers OF those
three States are willing to
surrender the real or imagin-
airy benefits of the duty on
wool for the sake OF a reform
of the tariff. Yet they are
meanly tainted by organs and
representatives of the manu-
featuring interests with favor,
ing the Mills Bill because OF
its sectional advantages! The
sectionalism of the Mills bill
was the burden Of Mr.. Blaine s
Indiana speeches. Could any
thing be more meanly false9

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Never leave a horse stand.
ing unhitched.
A fruitful cause Of disease
among poultry is impure wa
ter.
Dig potatoes as soon as
they are ripe is a good rule.
The farmer who raises crops
and feeds them, has double
profits.
Unleachcd ashes are the
best fertilizer known for the
vineyard.
Standing in hot fermenting
manure is very injurious to a
horses feet.
Success depends more upon
good management than upon
the breed.
Who ever heard of a farm
err that lost money on a lot Of
good draft colts?
A sheep comes up every
six months and pays its bills;
it does not die in debt.
One well directed stroke Of
the hoe at a weed just going
to seed will save many strokes
next year.
A few iron nails, or a piece
of rusty iron kept in the drink
ing water makes a good tonic
for the fowls.
The feet Of sheep should be
cleaned out occasionally and
inspected to discover il foot
rot is beginning.
Eggs should be served
abundantly on the farmers
and in such variety as not to
make them tiresome.
There should be a supply
Of rcd peppers kept during the
winter to be fed to the poultry
with their regular food.
DO not expect your horse
to be equally good at every
thing. The horse, like the
man, must Ne adapted to his
work.
To cure a cat of catching
chickens, cut OH her tail just
back OF her ears. and then
top-dress her with two feet
OF earth.
Pastures should not be fed
too close. If there is a rainy
spell, apply any good fertili-
ger; include plaster and ashes
in the list.
Most fruit trees bear fruit
on short spurs Of last years
growth. This fact should be
kept in mind while pruning.
Some good fruit growers think
best to trim but little.
