quire only light covering and no pressure
of the earth.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Oil Meal for Colts.

An Ohio stock farmer states that he
has been using oil meal for some two or
three years, and thinks it excellent for
cows giving milk, mixed with ship stuff,
and for colts that have just been weaned.
Last fall he weaned three colts, and be
gan to feed some oats, and when cold
weather came on added some oil meal
He has got up to one bushel Of oats and
a half-gallon of oil meal per day, which
is as high as he will go as long as they
to hay at their pleasure, being out of
doors all the time. He has a Clyde mare
three years old last May, that weighed
1880 pounds in October, that was raised
out of doors.

Sunfowers and Malaria.

The planting of suniOWers as an anti
dOte to malaria has been recommended
by several persons who believe in it's
efficacy in this direction. The various
species of the eucalyptus, tree which
grows to immense proportions, and covers
large areas in Van Diemen's Land and
Australia, have also been recommended
for the same purpose. No adequate
scientific explanation Of the supposed
belief IN the sanitary and antiseptic
nature of these plants had been given
until recently, when DR.. G. T. Kingzett.
who has investigated the nature of
Camphor and other essential oils, dis
covered that these oils undergo a
process of oxidation, in which peroxide
OF hydrogen, or OXidiZed water, which
is most active antiseptic, is given off.
The essential oil of some species of the
eucalyptus and Of various pines have this
property, and as they are given off in
enormous quantity in large forests, the
product has an important influence in
destroying nOXiOus impurities in the
atmosphere which we cali maIar a. DR..
Kingzett figures out the quantity of es-
sential oil existing at any one moment in
the leaves of the Australian forests at
nearly 1, 900, 900, 900 gallons, from which
80, 7S5, 023 tons of hydrogen peroxide
Cdu DC given OII LIS large quantity
can be usefully ditfused over a very eX-
tensive area.
The evaporation of essential oil from
pine forests is known to exert a health
full effect, but so far nothing has been
learned in favor or the suntiower's claim
to any hygienic or antiseptic agency
DR.. Kingzett failed to procure any by
drogen peroxide from this plant, but as
the oil is taken from the seeds and not
from the leaves, this may possibly account
for the failure, as the active principle in
the pines and eucalyptus is contained in
the leaves. Nevertheless, as suntiowers
are useful for various purposes, as for
the seed when ground with bran or oats
for feeding, the leaves for fodder, and
the stalks for fuel, farmers who are
forced to live where malaria prevails
may plant as many as they think proper
and ind comfort, if nothing more. in the
bellet that by so doing they may evade
the dlsagreeable effects of poisonous
atmosphere.-Nea0 York Times.

HONORING THE mAxOR-ELEoT.

MT. Peck Visited at His Home by Pro
 cessIon of About Three Hundred of
 His Men-Speeches and q Oollation at
 the Factory Afterward.
 The employees of Peck Brothers & Co.,, a fine looking body of men, turned out last night to the number of about three hundred, each carrying cane, to celebrate the election of their employer, Henry F. Peck, to the mayorship.
 They left the Franklin street entrance to the factory at about 7:45 and marched up Franklin to Grand to State to Chapel street to MT. Peck's residence, headed by the Sec- ond regiment band and by Superintendent Aquila Moore and Assistant Superintendent James Totham.
 The streets on the line of march were bril- liant with red fire, especially at the Republi- can league and at @ number of private resi- dences and red fire was burned necessarily by torch bearers in the procession, making a fine illumination.
 The procession stopped in front of MT. Peck's residence and the mayor-elect was greeted with cheers and made brief speech, telling how he was nominated after command ing MT. Baldwin not to use his name, but that MT. Baldwin disregarded his command and pushed it forward with the result as seen.
 He then introduced Mir. Charles Baldwin, who said that he was glad he had disobeyed orders and that where they only expected to get Peck they had got a full half busheI, good measure and running over. The speak CTS were most heartily applauded.
 After giving three times three for the May or-elect, Mir. Baldwin and Mr. Hubbard, they marched back to the factory by way of Chap. el street, where fine collation. was provided for them by their employers. Deibel catered. The collation. was served in one of the big rooms in the large new additional shop built year ago. Hundreds of people viewed the proceazion as it passed through Chapel street going and returning. On one of the trans- pareney it read: 'sNo soup in our menu;" on another, sfHenry F. Peck, the peoples choice.n On the return down Chapel Mayor elect Peck rode in 8 carriage. with him being Superintendent Moore and the cashier, MT. Charles Downes, Assistant Superintendent Totham heading the line of march. The af- fair vas very handsome tribute from the shopmates to their honored employer, show, ing better than words can, the esteem and regard in which the next mayor is held by his men.

HAPPY snRIKEs.

 bleIn's-The Brilliant Personages
 There-A Glimpse at she Eveningss
 HflarHtY.
 The newspaper men of New Haven were
 happy last night. The occasion was ban
 quet given them by Henblein Bros. at their
 elegant cafe.
 Colonel E. M. Graves of Hartford was given the seat of honor. As he arose to address his brother laborers upon the preliminary issues of the meeting the ends of his handsome black .moustache curled most facetiously and the reflection of his beaming smile flew around the room until little City Clerk-elect Downes despairingly cried as he glanced at the small windows, "For heavens sake, open the port holes and let it outi"
 The colonel spoke.
 He mentioned the grave duties before each one upon the course of the evening and ad- vised strict attention to the calls of cons science in the matter of diet. In the midst ' of his oratorial effort he sank into his chair. When quart or two of liquid restoratlves had been poured down him it was found that the cause of his sudden weakness was that he around the table. ''If you love me bring in another man" he gasped; and Billie Clark of the Union rushed down stairs. He found Assistant City Clerk Cahill just crawling out of the soup and brought him up. It was in time.
 The banquet was desperately assaulted and done full justice. ''This soup aint much ! like boarding house soup, is it" ejaeulated City Editor Webb of the Union. "Ohi that could take bunch of this celery home" "Yes," retorted Colonel Graves, "it's the
 best celery I ever tasted" Just at this moment the garcon appeared at the door with big platter upon which reposed, in all the angelic beauty of peaceful slumbers, a fat roast pig. On he came and set it plump down before Editor Alexander Troup. 'Its niee," exclaimed the subtle Democrat, his mouth watering at the sight, "but l don't want it unless can have it all. And then they smiled.
 Pretty soon the same garcon took the lit tie squealer away, and then the cry arose for Hayward elect Champion of the Register to start in pursuit. The Hayward-elect didn't, and Councilman James B. Martin drank 8 big bumper of sblood" with him upon the sweep they made in their respective csndf- ! dacies And then the fun continued. The attendance wasn't as big as anticipated but the Union carried out it's well known policy in every detail and all of it's men but one were there. Others among the happy scribes who tested of Meesrs. Heublein's deli cacies were: Col B. M. Graves, Alexander \ Troup of the Union, Frank HinmaD, William | Clark, City Editor Wells of the Union, Ed \ ward Loomis and T. J. Champion of the Reg \ ister, Assistant, City Clerk Cahill, Council- manJ B. Martin, James Buchanan of the K News, W. Loomis of the Union, James Kel- \ ley, city editor of the News, Elton Bur- \ roughs of the COURIER and others.

Daughters of Rebecca.

Rachel lodge D. of R. of Meriden, had s red letter night Tuesday night. It was the occasion of the competitive drill. There and Miriam of Hartford Both of the other teams having drilled, and the team from Ra- chel lodge having seen them, it knew just about what it had to do to defeat the others. The work of the other teams was of an ex- ceptionably fine nature, but the Rachel lodge went into the rehearsing heart and soul, and the result was very fine work when it came their turn.
 There were present, besides about 50 mem- bers from each of Naomi and Miriam lodges, Grand Master Ralph Burnham, of Hartford; Past Grand Master Comlsy, of Bridgeport; Grand Representative Keith, of Norwalk; ; Grand Secretary Botsford, of New Haven; D. D. G. M. E. P. Golden, and a large num- Der of the sister lodge in the city, Esther. Stella lodge, of New Britain, was also repre- sented. The members of Rachel lodge turn ed out in good style, so the number in the pretty lodge room must have been in the neignborhood of 225 during the evening.
 The judges were P. G. N. ComIey, P. G. M. Beers, of Hartford, c. O. cWaples, of New Haven, w. H. Tyler and Horace Clark, of this city. They have not yet rendered their decision.
 At the close of the worksthe party listened to remarks pertinent to the subject by P. G. M. Comley, e. R. Keith and others, Mr. Campbell giving the address of welcome The party then adjourned to the banquet room where Russell Williams, assisted by a corps of able and willing walters, served 8 supper that would answer for any occasion.
 Returning to the rooms the assembly gave itself up to social session, during which there was any amount of music, both vocal and instrumental, speeches, etc. The Hart ford visitors went home on the Adams Ex- press train while the New Haveners went south on the 3:10, excepting about 6 dozen, who returned at midnight
