HARRISON FOR IRELAND.
He Affxes His Signature to an Album Prepared
by Exile Mcbride.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 25.--The Evening
News publishes this afternoon an address
to Hon. w. E. Gladstone, contained in a
testimonial album prepared by exile
John J. Mcbride, of this city, in favor of
home rule for Ireland to which President
elect Harrison has affixed his sig
nature. Inasmuch as it places the
president-elect on record as favor
ing home rule for Ireland, the matter is
likely to be the subject of considerable
comment. The address is as follows:
"Rlght Hon. w. E. Gladstone. We here
by express our heartfelt sympathy with
the Irish people in their contention for
the rights which should be freely &C
corded to them; and we bid God-speed
to you and your associates, the friends of
the Irish cause, in the great work new on
hand. In America this sentiment pre-
dominates and the great masses of our
people would be glad of an opportunity
to express to you their confidence in you
and III the ultimate triumph of justice.
The people of Ireland patiently await
the outcome. In some localities riot and
tloodshed, the natural consequences of
oppression occur, but in the main the
people are in hopes of speedy triumph.
The American people are with them in
their desire for justice and peace and
wish for you and your associates added
strength and aroused and renewed deter
mination to hasten the dawning of hap
pier day, the return of good will and pros
perity both to Ireland and England.
Yours very truly" Gen. Harrison signed
on Dec. 1, 1888, after his election.
Among other names in the album are
those of Gov. Foraker, Roswell Flower,
Allen G. Thurman, Henry Watterson, L.
G. Platt, Col. Fred. Grant, Archbishop
Corrigan, Archbishop Elder, of Cincin
natti, ond John B. Fellows, of New York.
The album will next be sent to Hon. l..
P. Morton for his signature.

slight importance could not reasonably
be expected to bring about war between
the United States and nation which has
for US the kindest, warmest feelings.
But it was possible, said Hit, that if he
was dealing with weak and moribund
administration he might readily fall back
upon his old and well-known policy, in
order to crafty passion of the German
people for COLONEL possessions.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said the
administration had been active in asser-
ting our rights in Samoa and that con-
gress has shown strong determination
to support the administration in any
action looking to the preservation and
independence of the islands and the
protection of American interests there.
I think the steps already taken will prove
adequate to the emergency, aud I am
perfectly satisfied that whatever rights
We mag have will be faithfully protected.
We have material interests in these is
lands, and shall tolerate no act on the
part of another power which will inter
fere with our free commerce with them.''
Senator Frye said: 81 think our treaty
rights are such in Samoa, that we cannot
permit the independence of Samoa to be
taken away from her. If Germany can
put a governor, who is but a tool of her
own into power in Samoa they can COM
pei them at once to give notice to the
United States to terminate all our treaties
and after said notice they would be ter
minated in year." "Do you regard the
situation as threatening 81 think the
idea of war absurd"
Sen. Dolph said: 81 think the treaty
hot ha TT,5kal bo
Samoan government, which was ratified
before the treaties between that govern
ment and other civilized governments
confers upon as rights and Gre
ates as to US obligations which are
inconsistent with the destruction of in :
dependence and autonomy of the Samoan
government. In the interests of our
present and past great prosperity of
commerce on the Pacific, the independ-
ence of the Sandwich and Samoan islands
should be preserved"

FARM NOTES.

Ground fish is an excellent food for
laying hens. Mix it with mashed pota.
toes or any kind of soft food.
Frank Allen was accidently killed at
Burlington, a., by friend, who was
shooting at target.
A calf kept thrifty may be as large next
April as a last spring calf that was weaned
young and kept in q poor pasture until
now.
Farming demands hard work and
close attention, but labor may be wasted
If not properly applied. knowledge is
greater than physical force in farming.
The right crop In the right place is the
key to success.
There is plenty of room for fruit on
every farm. Farmers give special atten-
ton to apples, but not tenth of them
grow peaches, currants or cherries, even
for home use.
Corn left standing in the field il not
only injured by exposure but the shocks
become the harboring places of rats.
mice, and other vermin, which, with birds
and rabbits, destroy or waste large por
ton of the grain.
The American hog shows more fat and
produces more lard than those of Eu-
rope, due to our large corn crop. The
best way to dispose of corn is 10 convert
it into pork, and the fodder into beef
Use thermometer in the stable, cellar,
and wherever you wish 70 know the tenn
perature, and you will same many crops
that are stored and also avoid cases of
sickness among the animals.
Of all fertilizerf ground bone is the
best and most durable where crops are
grown, but fertilizers should be varied or
consist of all the elements required for a
crop.
When you order trees the coming
spring get those that are not over one
year old, as they will root better and
grow faster than those that are larger.
Seed that is slow of termination is of
ten overtaken by grass, the rows besng
completely covered and destroyed. An
excellent method of making the rows SO
as to define them, in order to work them
with the hoe, is to drop few radish seeds
at intervals of about l foot. As the
radlsh soon comes up the rows can be
worked and the radish afterwards pulled
out.
Raw meat chopped fine and fed once a
day will produce more eggs than any
other food that can be given the hen. One
pound of rough meat to fifteen hens is
sufficient. The meat should be lean and
If preferred, may be cooked, but it gives
better results when given raw. It is not
expensive when the increased number of
eggs is considered.
Although many remedies have been
suggested for killing borers in trees, such
as forcing salt in the holes, the surest way
to kill the borer is by inserting piece of
wire in the opening, as it cannot escape
is thrust in as far as the borer has pene-
trated.
