Woodchucks IN the Garden.
farm and Firesidc.1

Where woodchucks are numerous, our
bean and squash vines and sweet corn
patches often suffer serious injury by their
depredations. The rodents seem to be
especially fond of bean vines, and | have
had quite large patches of beans entirely
ruined, in spite OF applications OF paris
green water to them. Rabbits may have
helped to eat them down, but the damage
they do in the garden is very slight COM
pared with the woodchuck' S work. have
found several convenient WAYS of doing
away with the pest. All that is necessary
is to provide some dynamite giant pow
der with caps and fuse then find the
burrow of the animal, insert quarter
pound charge, with cap and long fuse at
tached, and stop up all the openings, just
leaving the end of fuse outside of the one
in which the dynamite charge was placed.
Then touch oil the fuse and retire, and
the animal will never trouble YOU again
IL is dead and buried. Ii dynamite is not
at hand, you may fill small bottle with
common blasting powder, insert the fuse
through the neck of bottle, and fasten it
there with convenient stopper. Use and
fire in same way rs the dynamite charge
A third way is to burn aquantity OF brim-
stone, mixed with dry sawdust, inside OF
the woodchuck's burrow, stopping up all
the openings and thus choke him 10 death
A farm can soon be rid OF the troublesome
visitors i'm this way.

be homegrown. The smooth, solid tomatoes.
and the earliest, should be laid aside for seed
before using any portion of the crop.
A small amount Of crude carbolic acid (about
tablespoonful in gallon OF soapsuds) poured
In the sink-hole will destroy foul odor and also
prevent the propagation of flies, and the acid
destroys the maggOts. The soapsuds assist in
preserving the ammonia Of the sink.
A dozen cucumber vines will produce an
enormous crop of pickles if looked over daily
and the small cucumbers picked of. They
grow so rapidly that q delay of one day will
sometimes render them too large for use. III
picked over carefully the vines will continue to

The application of potash salts to fruit trees
and vines seems to give better results than
ashes. The question to be considered in this
connection is whether the potash of the ashes
first forms salt with the acid of the soil before
being utilized by plants. The potash salts usu-
ally give immediate results, which is not always
the case with ashes.
Do not attempt to save the seeds of pump
klns, melons or squash unless the vines for that
purpose are grown at distance from all other
varieties of the same family. The pollen of
such plants Is carried quite distance by the
winds, and also by insects. Two or more yarie-
ties will fertilize the blossoms OF each.
Dalmation insect powder, fresh and kept in
alright tin oanisters, is the safest and best
remedy for the cabbage worm. Sprinkle 1t on
the cabbage, and the worms will be destroyed
1t very strongly resembles Scotch snuff. In
every case kill the white butterflies seen in the
cabbage fields as they the parents of the
cabbage worms.
so far the use Of the Bordeaux mixture has
been done with success as a remedy for grape
rot but If the application is not made at the
proper times, and the work well done, the use
of the mixture will not give satisfaction. The
frequent rains will cause the mixture to be ap-
piled often, or the rot will not be wholly pre-
vented.
1t is reported that persons are using paris
green on cabbages as a remedy for the cabbage
worm. 1t is dangerous to do so. The leaves of
the cabbages, during growth, cover the poison,
and there may be danger when the cabbages are
used In proper precauton not being taken to
thoroughly wash them. If growers use the
poison the sales will fall of owing to the dis
trust created.
1t requires only few red raspberry plants to
afford large supply of fruit, and the plants
quickly become very thick in the rows. The
wood of the old canes is cut out during the
winter and the new canes topped off in the
spring. To have large, well-havored raspber-
RES use plenty of manure around the canes,
and once year give them an application of
wood ashes. An occasional picking of fruit
may be made until frost as the canes bear for a
much longer period than the regular period of
harvesting the fruit. The better the cultivation
and the richer the soil the larger the fruit.

1t will be seen that there has been a
growth in each denomination, though the
baptists have gained more members than
both the methodists and presbyterians
put together.
Roman catholic churches number 1924
as against $500 one year ago, and there
are 1896 clergy as against 7,596 in 1850.
The total number of churches in the
United States is now l42, 767, and there
are 9S,322 ministers, as against 13S, SS5
churches and "a, 457 ministers in 1888.
OF denominations other than those here
considered no statistics have been pub

were 269 Jewish churches, with POP min

party at the south In Wiping out Republican ma
iorities by intimidation and BY deliberate fraud.
The brave men who are making them deserve
the announcement and support OF the entire
Republican party, and wherever it can be shown
that they rightfully won the seats for when
they make a demand there should be no hesi-
fancy in turning out the Democrats who have
secured the false certificates
There il scarcely doubt but that the
next Congress will witness display OF
the bloody shirt, such as has not been seen
in years
As far as West Virginia is concerned she
courts the fullest investigation of her cleo

Democrats here fear, is that there will be
no real Investigation BY Congress init the

As TO the States further South We should
think the Republicans by this time would
be tired Of investigating them. Says the
Atlanta Constitution,
They have sent down committee after commit
Tee. whose reports were virtually made up De
fore they len Washington. They viii md no
more now than they have In the past.
Proceeding. however, on the idea that every
district IN the South which has negro majority
40 population, is Republican, they will never
,top their warfare against the South as long as q
Democrat represents any such district Many OF
these districts are now, and viii be in the future,
reprssented by Democrats, nor By the result Of
either maud or violence. We have said TOO much
in controversion Of the argument that because
district has q majority Of negro inhabitants II Is
necessarily Republican, to enter upon the discus
sion OF The question here. Anybody who knows
ANYTHING about the situation viii readily under
stand that such result does not necessarily fol-

One year ago Mr.. CARNEaIE reduced
the wages Of his wOrkmen ten per cent.
The Republican policy Of protection to
monopoly had made Mr. CARNEGIE a
millionaire, and he, of course, wanted
that policy kept up When he reduced
wages ten per cent a year ago he told his
men aud the public that ne did so because
he was afraid the people would re-elect
President CLEVELAND. He told his men
that reduction Of wages was necessary
because the Democratic party was in
power
Well. the election was held Thanks to
''fat' furnished by CARNEGIE and other
tariff barOns the Republican party Won.
The uncertainty in regard to the tariff
was removed, and the people are still to
be compelled to pay millions in taxes for
the benefit Of the mOnOpOlies. Instead Of
increasing wages OF even maintaining
them, Mr.. CARNEGIE this year, after the
triumph Of the protective system, "
reduced wages hoenty per cent,
double the reduction Of last
year, and in some instances more.
Mr.. CARNEGIE has little to say
about the "benidcent doctrine Of prOtec-
ton to labor" this year. lie even finds
no compOrt in the ''hOme market"
These two reductions Of wages by CAR
NEaTE last year and this year may be
studied with advantage by every man who
works for wages in this country. The
lesson is 80 plain that no newspaper need
teach it, The facts are simple and easy to
understand.
Even the New York Tribune sees that
men are beginning even more earnestly to
feel and think about the injustice Of the
tax system, for it plainly declares: "The
American workingmsn is also q ruler Of
his country. No governmental policy will
stand long which does not commend itself
10 him as just and benedcent.
II manufacturers wish 20 break down the
protective system they have only to make
working people feel that it is not for their
benefit"
The country is almost compensated for
the deieai Of Mr. CLEVELAND. and Mr,
CLEVELAND himself Ia vindicated, by these
splendid practical illustrations Of the work
ing Of the Republican system Of taxation
of the many for the benefit of the few,
with everything most favorable for fail

The REeIsrER Opiues that ever since the
little unpleasautuess between the "Geor-
gia SANS" and Br'er HIATT, at the Mounds
Vile Camp Grounds, the latter has sworn
eternal warfare upon them. Why this
implscable hate to these modern evan
qelistsg Is that memorable sore place yet
sore. and every time our brother wiuces at
the recollection of the cause, he must tzz
against themg Surely when the three
meet on the other shore, assuming that
they will our sanity brother OF the
Quill will not continue this unseemly quar-
rel, but speak as they pass by. Perish
the thought of such frame Of mind in the
great hereafter on the part of Col. BIRDIE
As for Messrs. SAM SMALL and SAM JONES,
the REGISTER is free to say that it believes
there is not a revengeful thought in their
minds concerning Br'er HIATT. 1t will 90
further. and declare without fea- of con-
tradiction, that since the day of
their gentle wrath and subsequent
chastisement Of an erring brother they
have not even thought OF him, except pos
sibly as a recalcitrant and hayward sin-
ner, who required more than ordinary ei-
fort, and care to reclaim from the evil Of
his ways and safely lodge in the sweet and
sympathetic fold Of brOtherly love. Now
it is charged by some that Br'er HART is
knowingly guilty of misreport OF the
true cause for the nOn-appearanee OF the
Georgia SANS" this season at the
Moundsvine Camp Grounds. The REGIS
rER would rather hear further before
charging Col BIRDIE HART with this OBJ
hquity. In order that the public may be set
right. the REGISTER is authorized to say
that the real cause why Br'er HART will not
have the genuine pleasure and enjoy the ele-
waiting results Of listening to the inspir-
ing. interesting and practical lessons in
Qodliness Of the Two SANS" is because
they cannot be engaged. Their services
are in such demand all over the country
that they are absolutely out of the reach
of the Moundsville Association. But the
Association hopes to secure either one,
or both Of these drawing cards some
other season, on which occasion it will
expect Br'er HART to grace the auditorium
with his presence, and let us hope, with a
heart not "a Of flint, but Of contritiOn and
supplication, to the Throne Of Grace.
