TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Pruning Grape Vines.

A subscriber at Elberon, N j., asks,
when is the best time to prune grape
vines, if the cuttings can be utilized to
grow new vines? In answer we say
The grape vines should bepruncd before
the rising of the sap. No time should
now be lost, else the vines will bleed
badly. If cuttings are wanted cut last
years wood to two eyes, tie in bundles of
fifty each, set these on end and cover en-
tirely with earth. If the cuttings had
been taken last fall, the spring would
have found the ends nicely calioused, for
growing. AS soon as the soil is In con-
dition for working in the spring, open a
trench, and set the cuttings therein, on
an exact line. frming the soil very hard
about the bottom. Leave the upper eye
just about even with the top of the earth.
They should make strong plants by
autumn. n.-Farm, Fieid and Stockman.

Preservation of Meat by Sugar.

1t results from special report made
to the French Minister Of Agriculture
that sugar is an excellent agent for pre-
serving meat, and possesses some advan-
tages over salt. In fact, salt absorbs a
portion of the nutrtivc substances and
Of the flavor Of meat. When an analysis
is made of solution of the salt dissolved
by water contained in meat we find al
buminoid bodies, eytractive substances,
potassa and phosplloric acid. Salt de-
prives meat of these substances so much
the more readily in proportion as it en-
ters the tissues more deeply or acts for a
longer time. 1t then results that the
meat, when taken from the saline solu-
tion, has lost nutritive elements Of
genuine importance. Powdered sugar,
on the contrary, being less soluble, pro-
duces less liquid. 1t forms around the
meat solid crust, which removes very
little water from it and docs not alter its
taste. Thus preserved, it sufficcs to inn
merse the meat in water before using it.

Gresham's Candidacy.

Fort Wayne Gazette: Heretofore. pre-
vious to the election of delegates to the
National convention, The Gazette has
been silent in regard to the strength of
the movement in favor of Judge Gresham
outside OF the state of Indiana. The rea-
sons for this are evident. 1t would have
been misinterpreted as an attempt to di-
vide the delegation against Gen. Harrison,
and that would have produced bad eff
feet. Now, however, that the delegation
has been selected to present Gen. Harri-
sons claims to the Chicago convention,
and to present bin as the favorite son Of
Indiana, 20 one can accuse newspapers
friendly to Judge Gresham of any such
motive, when they keep their readers in
formed of the growth of public sentiment
throughout the country in bis favor. The
sentiment in Gresham's favor has been
from the start steady, rapid and contin-
uous growth. 1t is not local nor confined
to any one of the factions of the Repub-
lcan party. He has warm friends among
the old Stalwarts. Many of those most
intimate with Mr.. Blaine, as for instance
Mr.. CIarksou, of Iowa, consider Mr..
Gresham the coming man. Even among
the despised Mugwumps, many of them
now anxious TO return from the following
after false ideas, are to be found men Of
note who want a chance to vote for Judge
Gresham for president. No Republican
worthy of the name would nominate a
candidate for the purpose of conciliating
the Mugwumps, and yet if there is one
man Who can so effectively unite the
party as to command even their support
his election is beyond a peradventure i
he be nominated, and it would be folly
Ia drive away single vote, no matter
who cast it.

properly come before the convention The ba-
sis for the election of delegates TO said conven-
ton will be by counties, one delegate for each
500 votes or major fraction thereof, cast for the
Republican candidate for president in 1884, pro
vided that each county shall be entitled to a
east one delegate.
All voters who oppose the doctrine of free-trade
as un-American and dangerous, and who favor
such protection to American industries as will
yield a fair return to capital and liberal wages
to labor, and who favor reduction of internal
taxes, wise revision or our tariff laws and re-
duction OF taxation on imports, placing on the
free list, as nearly as possible, the necessaries
and making the luxuries of life bear the ex
penses of government, are invited to join in the

THAT excellent paper, The Philadel-

appointment of Minister Phelps as chief
justice, said:
mo man who ever got up at public
meeting and denounced Abraham Lin
con as a third rate country lawyer who
has torn the last leaf out of the CoDstitu-
ton should ever be made chief justice OF
the United States. And that puts Hon.
E j Phelps, of Vermont, out of the
question.
In commenting on this paragraph, an
other contemporary says:
"The appointment Of chief justice is
not a question of right but of power. Mr.
Phelps remark will not be in the least to
his prejudice with the present appointing
power but will rather commend him as
proving that he is u simon-pure Demo

Merrill.priOr SuIt.

The suit 10 the United States district
court at Milwaukee, of the Merrill estate
executors against G. Fl. Prior, was decd-
ed Thursday 10y Judge Gresham IN favor
of Prior. Commenting on the decision,
The Sentinel says:
The result of the decision is that Mr.
Prior has triumphed over the heirs of the
estate general manager, but he is now like
lv to he sued by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul on the strength of Judge
Gresham's remarks, or rather on the line
indicated by him, that the property of the
corporation was misappropriated. One
peculiar coincidence is that John I. Fish,
who conducted the case for the Merrill
estate, has since that suit began, been
made the general solicitor of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul company. On be-
BALI of the Merrill estate, the attorneys
for the executors will appeal the case to
the United States supreme court.
In his decision Judge Gresham says:
Even if the court should give the COM
plainants the relief prayed for, that would
be no protection to Prior, in subsequent
suit against him by the corporation, W hich
is not party to this suit, to recover the
remainder of the lands or their proceeds
But, aside from the illegal agreement,
and independent of the testimony oil
Prior, as 10 transaction and conversations
between him and Merrill, the evidence
abundantly shows that the latter, instead
of claiming any interest in the lands, dis
tnctly disclaimedsuch interest The bill
is dismissed for want of equity.
