Few conventions are as satisfactory to

faction was the expression on every hand.
The harmony of the meeting shows the
good feeling that prevails in the body of
the party, and is an earnest of its success
in the future.
By this act Minnesota becomes the first
state in the Union to form state league
IN pursuance of the plan proposed at the

saloons not provided with license being
closed on February |. The police have
been ordered to close all saloons not pro-

they will see that the law is enforced.

MavOr French at SDrinv VALLEY.

Mayor French at Spring Valley.
The following is what Editor Van
Leuven has to say of the lecture delivered
in Spring Valley by Mayor French. We
knew he would please them.
Hon. Lafayette French, Mayor of Aus.
tin, gave the lecture of the evening which
was an eloquent tribute to the excellence
and learning and craftsmanship of his
personal friend the Goth President of the
United States, James A. Garfield. This
lecture abounded in interesting anecdote
and the fruit of extensive reading in the
literature of law and the speeches of Con-
gress. In regard to the cruel cause of the
Presidents death the speaker we'll said:
To such debasing and alarming ex-.
tent has the pernicious scramble for Office
grown, that it seems this nation required
the chastisement it received in the pollti-
cal assassination of Garfield to touch the
consclences of the people and to awaken
them from the apparently insensible state
of danger to which the liberties and IN
stitutions of the country are exposed
The tremendous power which is welded
as an instrument of party management
and success has degraded the executive
office, and infected with deadly poison
the politics of the country"
We understand that this lecture which
has most excellent teachings on the SUBJ
ject of party spoils and the ceed Of civil
service reform, will soon be repeated in
the Opera House of Austin. And we trust
it will have as large hearing and as rapt
attention as it received here.

Terrible Fate Of Two Buddhist Monks.

There is news from China Of a remark
able affair in Buddhist monastery near
Canton. a number Of monks and nuns
appeared to take the VOWS OF the order
recently, and among the applicants were
two unusually beautiful young women.
Two Of the monks, after the others had
left the temple, made desperate assault
On the young women, whose screams
brought the Others to the rescue. The
abbot decided TO turn the monks over to
the civil magistrate, but later he decided
10 send them back to the monastery for
trial and punishment. Each offender
received twenty lashcs on the bare back
in the presence Of all the others. This
punishment SO enragsd the culpTits that
when released they armed themselves
with knives and attacked the abbot.
This time IL vas determined to make an
example Of them. II was resolved to

Feeding Bees in Spring.

It's an old saying and true one, that
1t taxes more honey to spring bees than
to winter them. The only opportunity
for putting things to rights for spring
Is during those tine days when the bees
are flying freely, as it is very damaging
TO handle them at any time during cold
weather. 1t is always very troublesome
to furnish feed to bees in mid.winter.
Yet, If we have neglected the matter in
autumn, we can still provide for them,
but in 0 different manner. Il will not
do to feed liquids of any kind during
winter. The feed must be supplied in
the form Of good, well sealed combs of
honey, or candy made from the best
quality OF sugar. This candy is as good
in every respect as honey, aud many
think bstter. Il is made by boiling
ganulated sugar TO which water has
been added, and molding it into cakes
or slabs OF any desired form. This is
placed on top OF the frames Of comb,
where the bees have access to it at all
times. A heavy packing must be ap.
pied outside the entire hive to econo.
mize the heat, so that the bees may
cluster about the candy. II this matter
isproperly attended TO at this important
period, the bees will need but
little attention until warm weather,
when We can safely feed syrups Of
any kind. From early spring until tho
honey-fow, 1t pays well TO feed every
colony little daily, even ii they have
abundance Of honey in the hive. Il
stimala.ss brood rearing. ard It is only
bysuch judicions feeling that we can
bring colony up to the highest cOndi.
ton. IL Is from such that we reap the
richest reward during the honey season.
Such colonies are usually ready 10 swarm
two weeks earlier than others, aud power
ful swarms result instead Of ''hatfulls. +"
Whether bees are wintered in cellars or
in chat hiveS, they should remain IN
their winter quarters until settled warm
weather comes in, which may be from
the middle 10 the last Of April. and some.
times even later. Tais is an important
matter 20 beginners especially, as the
veteran has learned probably from ad
experience. Ices may be in the best pOs.
Eible condition. but ~ exposed outside

Women In Business.

Over 5000 women have obtained EN-.
ployment in the last few years in Phil.
adelphia in branches hitherto filed by
men alone. 1t is not only the mills,
factories, stores, telegraph offices and
like places, where they are found at the
loom, shuttle, counter and key, that
they are found working, but in bankers
brokers', lawyers, and other professsion-
al mems Offices. As stenographers,
type-writers, bookkeepers and cashiers
they are gradually and largely en-
croaehing upon the occupations prev.
iously almost monopolized entirely by
men. The large corporations, trust and
real estate companies and mercantile
agencies utilize their services and en-
ploy them in large numbers. The
newspaper Offices recognize their value,
and in the composing room they may
be found with rule and stick. Their
punctuality, steadiness, quickness and
intelligence are particularly noticeable,
and the class Of women at work is fnr
above the average in breeding and cul.
ture. The managers of nearly all the
business concerns where they are en-
ployed speak of their work in the highest
terms, and say they are generally equal
to men, and in some cases superior.
Many are the main support of families
who, through reverses, have been
obliged to fight for their daily bread

foPIcs oFINTEREsr RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
"Lumpy Land.

A New York farmer says: There is no
and arabic that will break UP in Jumps
when first brought under cultivation.
but all hesvy soil will become hard and
tenacious if plowed or trodden when
wet, or ifexhausted of humus or vegeta.
Bile matter. But when lands are left in
clods after the plow it is often tedious
labor to bring the surface into good tilth
IN dry season. have used several i'm
plements for such work, but none were
effective without much labor. A heavy
iron roller, small in diameter, or a small
log roller of hard wood loaded heavily,
and followed with a sharp Scotch har.
row, is about as effective as anything
have tried; a large drum roller has but
little effect, as it brings too much surface
to the ground. A fiuted or spiked iron
roller is doubtless best, but | have not
used it. Rolling and narrowing must
be repeated till the Jumps are reduced.
A log drag, constructed by splitting an
oak log about six feet long, and boltiug
tongue on the fiat side and dragging It
on the round side, is effective; also a
plank drag made of three heavy planks
Tapped, one some six inches upon the
other, and bolted together, with tongue
so attached as to bring the three corners
of the planks to the ground, will do ef-
fective work after the large clods are
broken.
The disc barrow, if the Jumps are not
too hard, will do good work; but by
whatever means it may be done, much
labor is required to bring such land into
a condition for the seed. / have some
times found it necessary to break Jumps
with beetle, or an old dull axe, which
is as good, when only some spots in
field were lumpy. In field I was fitting
for wheat, a few years ago, was corner
OF about one acre, of heavy clay soil, and
having been ploughed in spring rather
wet, 1t broke up when dry so coarse that
harrow or roller would make little i'm.
preston upon it. Iset one man to work
breaking Jumps with an old ave and
Others rolling and narrowing after: in
about two or three hours the plot was
made fine and sown to wheat, which pro-
duced as good crop as any part of the
field, yielding throughout about thirty.
five bushels per acre. / have known
good crops of wheat to grow on ground
left very lumpy, the Jumps being dissolved
by the frosts of winter, giving q fine
mellow soil for the summers growth;
but q thorough farmer prefers to get
fine seedbed before sowing the seed,
which is always for spring crops neces-
sity, and for winter wheat better.--Ne1
