Knott Don't Answer---The Fix Voters
Are In.

CHARLEsTowN, October al ex-
pect l know why Knott didn't put in
an appearance at Browns Crossing.
Capt. Billmyer was importuned to
announce himself Independent. He
is a number one Democrat, and
nobody stands higher in public esti-
nation. Changers can trust him.
The Captain was prepared to do his
duty, but didn't want the office. So
many insisted on his running he had
half consented. Therefore Knott
concluded to answer. Then Higin-
botham and Pendleton came out.
The railroad lobby encouraged Pen
dleton, expecting that his candidacy
would deter Billmyer. But he won't
get their support. They helped to
bring out Pendleton because a Nor
gan man can't split the Jefferson
vote. They are afraid of Billmyer'
but not of Pendleton. AS soon as
Billmyer was side-tracked by this
scheming, Knott saw his road clear,
so he decided not to appear ut
Browns Crossing to define his posi-
ton on the free pass bribery. The
result is the solid Democrats are in
the trap set for them. They must
yoCe for a man who favors the free
pass. and who will vote with the
railroad lobby, or else elect Higin-
botham. This is our fix, and there
is no blinking at the fact. Charley
Knott may as well say publicly that
he proposes to vote utterly regard
less of the peoples wishes, because
he will owe his place solely to ma
chine tricks. Those voting for him
do so with their eyes wide open, and
with full knowledge that he favors
the free-pass bribery and is against
any bill to protect the people against
the Wall street bankers who control
the b. IL o. and the G. Il o. The
Changers have been clamoring tor
these bills for ten years. The Gran
gers surrender. The railroad lobby
is victorious. The Grange talks,
but don't mean ANYTHING. Farmers
are as easily handled as sheep.

FARM AND GARDEN.



Former generations of gardeners be.
slowed much thoughtful care upon saw.
ing seeds, whereas few nowadays think
of saving any. II is quite possible to
err either way, rs it is certain that very
many kinds or varieties may be bought
more cheaply or, at any rate, more true
TO name than they can be saved, while,
on the other hand, many do well to save
the required number of certain varieties
which cannot always be purchased. As
rule home saved seed, If kept in a dry
place, rarely fail TO germinate more
surely and strongly than do those sup
piled by the seedsmen, the latter not al
ways being in position to send out new
or well.ripened seed. In dull wet sea-
sons it is almost impossible to properly
harvest the seeds Of various vegetables,
and the private grower ought, when
there is every prospect of the seed crops
in the fields being very late and of
doubtful quality, to save as many for
himself as possible. Take peas for in
stance. The bulk of those for seed are
grown in the open fields and without
any stakes, and when lying long time
on the ground in dull, wet weather
proper ripening is almost out of the
question. In private gardens, however,
1t is possible to ripen seed even in the
dullcst summer yet experienced, provid-
ed always the attempt is not made very
late in the season. .- Chicago Times.

PhOsphOrescent Matters

Lieutenant Habasham, in his account
of the North Pacific Surveying and Ex
ploring Expedition, describes some
strange appearances of the water seen
about the Cape of Good Hope. The
whole surface of the harbor would at
times be colored by a greasy, frothy,
variously covered substance, that gave
the water a most uncleanly appearance
during the day, but which at light caused
it 10 resemble a cake of molten gold.
How deep it extended, the Lieutenant
says, we could not tell, possibly the
whole depth of the harbor. We had OBJ
served the same phenomenon while ap-
preaching the coast, and had at first
been at a loss 10 what to attribute il.
The whole sea was wrinkled with the
variously hued patches, and as we sailed
through them, We left a wake Of fire
that was apparent even under tAe mid
day sun.
1t was like sailing over painted sea
in the daytime; ana at night, when the
seas lifted up their lam6ent crests in
all directions the effect was truly grand.
We subsequently attributed their exist.

Fall or Spring Ploughing.

A correspondent of the Rural NeD
Yorker thus discusses the question:
l would plough this fall just as soon as
the ground is damp enough, and / would
plough very deep. If ploughed this fall
the roots will soon die and rot, and the
frosts Of winter will help to pulverize
the sod. Another advantage of fall
ploughing is the destruction of worms
that are slowed away for winter. |
have very little sympathy with the idea
oil the soil getting manure from the wind,
Or trosts of winter. They only tend to
harmonic the manures that are already
IN the soil and act as pulverizers instead
OF manure. Should this piece be LETT to
be ploughed in spring it would have to
thaw out and then dry, and by that timo
the grass would get start and in order
TO Kill the grass it would have to be
ploughed shallow. Then if dry sum.
mer should follow the sod would not rot
and it would be very diiiicut to cultivate
and hight crop would be the result.
Now l would say to young farmer, if
he wishes lesson that will last him the
balance of his farming life, let him cut a
ditch above this piece that will keep of
all surplus water; then let him take halt
81 the piece and plough it this fall as
deep as two or three horses can draw the
plough, and next spring. as soon as the
land is dry enough to get team on it,
let him conn ence to harrow. Once a
week or more will not hurt until plant.
ing time, and if he has the right kind OF
harrow he can harrow until the corn is
'arge enough to plough. With regard to
The other half let him plough it next
spring, and follow the same course, and
Hote the results, and am sure it will be
one that will last him.
In regard to the idea that the freshly
turned sods would help the corn more
than anything else, l am surprised that
farmer of any experience would ad.
yocate such q theory. How could corn
be planted or cultivated to any advantage
On freshly turned sodsl / am in favor OF
planting corn in freshly stirred land, but
want it freshly stirred with good
steel-tooth harrow.

Professor T. Hunt of the Illinois Col
lege Farm concludes as follows in sum-
ming up the results of his experime its
IN feeding pigs:
l. 1t required IL. so pounds of skim.
milk to produce one pound of pork
when fed with cornmeal in ratio II = to
fatteniug hogs.
,. Skim-milk could not be economically
led to hogs unless it was waste product
which could not be otherwise utilized.
3. 1t required on an average Il pounds
OF shelled corn to produce one pound of
pork during an average period of four
weeks, or one bushel produced 13t
pounds.
4. 1t required 4 pounds of cornmeal
to produce one pound of pork, or one
bushel of corn made into meal and fed
dry produced l23 pounds of pork
.. When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs
&. 1t required u pounds or one fourth
bushel of ground oats to produce one
pound of pork, when fed with equal
Parts by weight of cornmeal.
Z One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
{. Corn-fed pigs gained about Al
pounds per week, and ate about twenty
one pounds of corn per 100 pounds OF
live weight.
o. The gain for the amount of food
consumed decreased during fattcning.
10. Pork was produced during the
cold weathe-, with corn at twenty-eight
cents per bushel, for less than three
cents per pound.
VI. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused q very considerable
loss in feeding thereafter.

Stable-Manure.

Notwithstanding the fact that in many
sections of 1he country east of the ALE.
ghaaies, and more especially south, sta
BILE manure is difficult to obtain. it is
nevertheless true that it is the best posi-.
BILE manure that can be applied. Whyi
1t contains all the constituents, including
humus, that are needed by the crops
and the richer the food given animals,
the better the manure. Many farmers
make the serious mistake of allowing
the soluble portions of the manure to
escape by teaching. Another great waste
results from allowing the liquid excre-
ment to escape in the stable. This LIQUID
manure and the soluble portions of the
solid part, are the most valuable. In fact
nothing that is used as manure, either
the commercial OF the BARNARD kind,
can be taken up by plants, except after
being solved by water. How necessary.
therefore, that all that may be LIQUID
should be conserved.
Beside the escape of fertilizing matter
by ieaching away, there is too often Sc.
rlous loss during the heating of the pile
by the escape of the gases in the process
OF fermentation. The chief loss here is
in the shape of costly nitrogen-always
as ammonia. TO prevent this, add al.
ternate layers ofstrong loan and manure,
as the mass is laid up. The loan will
absorb and hold the ammonia.
To prevent the loss of the LIQUID Dor
tions Of the manure by teaching, select
q place where there is a close clay soil.
Form this dishing to the center, and
puddle the bottom by tramping with cat
tie when wet. This will render the
bottom practically water tight. Now if
IN the center well is dug, say three feet
deep, and covered to keep the solid ma.
nure from entering, then if some common
suctionpum is placed therein, and the
manure laid up regularly all around, the
liquid may be pumped over the pile from
time TO time, assisting materially in rot
ting the whole equally. Manure thus
made is worth ton for ton three or four
times that made in the manner common
with too many farmers. Prairie Farmer.
