 Near Plttsburg.

There is explicit and authoritative confir- nation of last weeks report that Herr krupp of Essen, Germany. is negotiating for an enormous river frontage for gun works on the Monongahea river, in the fourth pool above Pittsburg. J. B. Finley of Mononga- burg lawyer, have been conducting the nego- tiations to purchase five miles of river front. Lawyer McIlvane admitted tonight that such deal was on the programme. He likewise acknowledged that the ground desired was wanted as a manufacturing site. Reliable information was received from another source that Krupp wants a location in a country not likely to be enbroiled in Euro pean troubles, and so he is coming here.

Farm Notes.

Renew the orchard when It needs It. Keep all your fruit growing up to 8 regular standard.
 Agents for English fruit dealers are already buying apples on the trees in New York state.
 Manure the grape vine. Do it in the fall. It will serve them as mulch in addition to acting as 8 fertilizer.
 Ashes makes a splendid fertilizer for young grass that is just springing up, and enables it to root well before cold weather comes.
 If you take plants from the ground and immediately put them into high temperature, you will regret it, if you care anything for the plants.
 Cottonseed meal is more nutritious than linseed meal, but the latter is pre- ferred, owing to it's beneficial effects on the animals in regulating digestion.
 Whenever you find mans name on a package of fruit that is invariably honestly packed, that name will be worth good deal of money to its owner.
 If you happen to have furnace in the house, you will not be able to keep apples in the same room with the fur mace. Apples must not be kept in too high temperature.
 The fruit that is to be kept through the winter should be put away care- fully, and then carefully watched all through the winter that that which de- cays may be removed.
 Apples are used as food at the ex- pertinent stations in making tests, and the results demonstrate that if they cannot be profitably shipped to market they may be fed to stock with advan- tage.
 It will add to the appearance of the yard and garden if all the dead plants are pulled up and burned, or other dis posal made of them, with view of getting them out of the way and out of sight.
 When you go to town and the city, we presume that you sometimes go through the market. Do you grow any of the vegetables, and varieties of vegetables, that you find commands the highest price.
 The Flemish Beauty pear has be- come almost worthless in eastern New York, on account of it's susceptibility to the attacks of black fungus which develops upon it in patches which crack open and grow bitter.
 When storing cabbage for winter place them in trench, with the heads down and stalks up. If the trench cannot be made on high ground, place the heads on the ground and bank uI we'll so as to shed the water off.
 Poultry is everywhere the best meat for summer eating, and especially SC for farmers who cannot always gel fresh meats of other kinds.

Before the young pigs are put up to fatten is the time to select and separ- ate from the others those intended for breeders. These are better not to be fattened, or at least corn fed while growing. If they have 8 run in the orchard after the best fruit is gathered, and . little soured milk every day, they will make . long, "rangy" growth, as unlike as possible to the sleek and fine-boned animals shut up in the pen and given no exercise. It, however, takes pretty good feed ing to bring March or April pig up to the proper size for dropping her first litter of pigs when she is herself a year or thirteen months old. Breed ing from young sows always tends to drop the litter later each season, until the pigs become so late that it is not best or even possible to breed them before the following spring. This is one reason why when a good breeding SOW is found it pays to keep her breed ing three CT four years. Her pigs will be more numerous and stronger than those from a young, growing SOW. If the SOW is of some large, coarse breed, she will grow until she is two and-a-hah or three years old, and all the time become better breeder.

ABOUT THE FARM.
Hints for Farmers and Busy
 Housewives to Appreciate.

An important legal question will probably arise soon over the right of fruit growers to spray apple and other fruit trees with water containing Paris green, while the trees arc in blossom.
 Bees searching the flowers for honey take the poison into their systems and are killed. This is, perhaps @ fortu- nate fact, for if the bees merely col lected honey, instead of manufacturing 1t, this poisonous honey might be stor- ed In their cells, and poison those who consumed it. The spraying, even of the apple, need not be done while the trees are in blossom. It is true that tho coddling moth usually deposits her eggs in the blossom end of the apple,
 but until the fruit is as large as wal nut, the blossom end is turned up- wards. After this the weight of the apple bends the fruit over. Between the time of blossoming and the fruit bending down with its own weight, the spraying may be done without danger of injury to bees.
 There is, therefore, no incompatibility between the fruit-growing and honey producing industries if the proper pre- cautions are observed.

Farms adjacent to large cities arc sooner run down, and the soil becomes poor and unproductive much sooner than remote farms. One great reason of this is the ready market large city affords for every thing farm can pro- duce, and the temptation to the farmer to dispose of hay, grain, straw and husks is so great that the farmers do not keep as many cattle, horses or sheep as they would were they not so convenient to ready market. The consequence of this is there is less barn. yard manure made to go back to re- plenish inc soil, and year after year the land is thus robbed and lmpover- ished until the farm is put in the list of "worn-out lands."
 It is no gain, nor is it any economy to sell from a farm in 8 way that de. stroys the fertility of the land. Some farmers defend their methods by say. ing: ooh, I always buy some kind oi commercial fertilizer to take the place of the barnyard manure that woul6 have if I did not dispose of my straw husks, etc." We'll, what do you know about the component parts of the fer tilizers you purchase?

Buckwheat is crop that has received less attention than most other grains, for the reason that the best farmers have prejudice against it, on account of the shedding of the seed and its ap- pearance in the following Spring grain crop. Hence buckwheat is usually sown on the poorest, latest land, and if anything is made from it the fact is considered as so much clear gain. But this year we have seen some buckwheat grown where fertilizer was applied, that grew more thickly and filled out better than any other we ever saw. It is not threshed yet, but is estimated to yield thirty to thirty-five bushels per acre. Buckwheat is usually sown about the first of July, and soon after this the Summer drought generally comes on and dries up mineral manures, so that they do crops little good. The present year was an exception to this rule. The phosphate fertilizer made the buckwheat one or two weeks earlier than it would have been, often with this crop very important con- alteration. as it is liable to injury from early frosts. If there is a wet time about the season of buckwheat sowing, we shall always advise applying little phosphate with the seed. It will pay on this fully as well as on any other grain crop, but in dry season it might do little if any good.

 of the roads of the country has turned attention to the consideration of their improvement, and discussions are car ried on in some of the most important periodicals of the day. There is 8 great need of better public roads, and if legislation is required then 1t should be attended to, for farmers are com pelled to pay very severe taxes in the indirect way of repair upon vehicles, because of injuries sustained in travel ing over poor roads. Even if the ex- pense of putting roads in repair is equal to the amount paid for repair of vehicles. it is a better investment, for the reason that there is pleasure at- tending riding over smooth roads in comparison with jolting along over poor ones.
 Gen. o. A. Gilmore has proven by experiments with the dynamometer that four times as much load can be hauled on 8 good road as upon poor ono. Thus it is easy to estimate the additional cost above the wear and tear, because if roads are in condition that upon one four times as much can be drawn as upon another, then by using the good road three-fourths of all the time required in making trips over a poor road would be saved. Farmers should consider the demands in the question of the condition of the roads, and should lend all the encouragement necessary to secure the best results It is not always best to adopt that penny-wise-and-pound-foolish policy to avoid direct taxation for the proper repair of roads, causes an indirect ta1 of increased labor and repairs. Le tho agitation of the subject be con tinued until there are brought fortl some fruits in the shape of bettel roads, that give comfort in being tray eled over.

THINK TWICE BEFORE ACTING.

There are doubtless a few people on the
Liberal side Who think that they are scor-
ing points and making great gains by
reason of the partisan decision of Judge
ANDERSON and the supplementary proceed
ings regarding the same subject. 1t is,
however, a safe guess that the majority of
them, the conservative and progressive
people in the ranks, will regard such and
all proceedings of a similar character as a
great misfortune, particularly at time
like the present, when the city is fairly
swelling with business activity such as it
has never known before and will never
know again unless the chiefs Of the con-
spiracy call off their dogs.
There are altogether toomany who base
their hopes for utter subiugation Of the Nor
monsupon the barren ideality''O Judge An
DERsoN's decision and concomitant meas
ures. They argue that, in the due course
OF things and by parity of procedure,
nothing less than the total disfranchise-
ment of every Mormon can occur, and be-
cause this would give the extremists the
election without any further contest. They
think they would thereby be great gamers;
in other words, they have only to capture
the hare. taking care of him afterwards is
nothing. But there are many other things
to be taken co ynlzance Of in such connec-
ton.
In the first place, what is it that holds
capital in community after it has once
been attracted. The attraction is one
thing, and very powerful one we admit,
although at times a very transitory and
illusory one; yet unless something is held
out as an indication of absolute safety, in
vestments will be short-lived, and those
who make them will withdraw them as soon
as they can safely do so. and in an emer-
gency the question of safety will be set
aside and such persons will lose little ra-
ther than take the chance of losing much.
What is there to induce men of means to
take chances on the growth and increase of
a community, and to seal their confidence
with their money, if one part of it is at
swords points with the other part. And
when it becomes a settled fact that the
greater part of the community is totally
DISTINGUISHED and expatriated and
therefore laboring under a serious griev-
ance, by means of which social irritation
will be continuous and continual, will not
those who think of investing think twice
before doing it! And will not those who
have already invested commence to look
about them for safe chances to draw out
and seek for some other avenues for in
Vestment:
If the Liberals want fair chance, they
should extend fair chance. If they can
capture this city, or the territory, by fair
means, well and good; but if they do it
when they and everybody else knows that
the legitimate majority is the other way, It
will be different The chances are that
the whole community would by such
methods be plunged into great lawsuit,
and this would either be the vortex into
which capital would sink to rise no more,
or the terra incogntta from which it would
flee in utter dismay. 1t is as well, at least,
TO not act hastily.

Gladstone's Local Government Schemes.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-Meetings of the Liberal
federation began at Manchester to-day.
Gladstone delivered an address. He said
the local government bill did not meet the
legitimate demands of the country. He
advocated the granting to county councils
the power of taxation; control of police and
liquor traffic; care of the poor; power to
deal with the question of ground rents and
form district councils. He would possibly
go further and establish the parish prin-
ciple of government, thus to convey to the
rural population the first elements of their
public education and create a sense of
public duty which is the highest aim of
statesmen.
Provisions for direct Scottish and WEIGH
home rule, Gladstone said, must be dealt
with by future parliaments. He referred
to his approaching eightieth birthday, and
said it was not probable that he should
have direct interest in many future great
reforms. In referring to Crete and Arme-
mia, he said it is difficult to deal with Tur-
key. He trusted the government would
not use honeyed words in matters involving
property, liberty, life and female honor.
The nineteenth century would not admit
the apologies and palliate for cruelty and
wickt dness. Gladstone predicted Lib
eral victory at the next election for mem
bers of parliament.

who can defy his employer, his partner and

AGITATING THE SEAL QUESTION
The London Times is Waxing Warm-What

LONDON, Dec. 2-The Times is devoting
good deal of space to agitating the Alaska
seal fishery question. The government is
urged not to acquiesce in a.policy on the
part of the United States which will COM
pletely exclude British interests from the
benefit of the sealeries. The claim of the
United States that Behring sea is Ameri-
can water solely is deliberately contra
dicted by the Times, the old stock argu-
ments being brought forward in strong ar
ray. Lord Salisbury does not show any
evidence of desiring to respond on the
question, and indeed the Liberals, COM
menting on the Times articles, openly de-
clare the premier docs not care to have any
trouble with the Washington government.
They rather unkindly remark that he pre-
fers to confne his vigorous foreign policy
to bullying and narrowing little country
like Portugal, though the British financial
and commercial interests which inspired
the dispute with Portugal, are no more ex-
tensive than those involved in the Alaskan
