REAnINe A coLr nY HAND.

A motherless colt may as easily be
reared by hand as calf, and will learn
to drink from pail readily. At first a
milk pan may be used for feeding it. A
method offeeding that has been found de-
sirable is as follows: Give two or three
days old colt one pint of new milk, fresh
from the COW, with tablespoonful OF
molasses mixed with it, four times a day,
and once daily give pint of strained oat-
meal Cruel with an egg mixed in il,
smoothly. A mares milk is much sweeter
than cows milk and the molasses or some
sugar is needed. AS the colt grows the
quantity Of food is to be gradually in
creased. When two or three weeks old
the colt will eat grass and should be put
in pasture.-NeD York Times.

APPLE SHIPPING.

The following rules for packing apples

with this fruit:
Country shippers and packers of apples
should make it point to pack their fruit

alike through the barrel. Do not en-
ieavor to cause deception by placing
good, sound, large fruit on the top and
bottom of the barrel and fill in the mid
lie with lot of gnarly, wormy and de-

,eption is easily detected upon investi0a-
ion, and merchants do not care to have
raud practiced upon them, or to practice
on their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should be
lsed. Take the barrel, one head out.

Few people realize how good an insec-
ticide is ice-cold water applied to plants
with a force pump. 1t drenches the
leaves, knocking off and chilling the in
sects too small to be reached in any other
way. 1t also destroys myriads of insect
eggs. 1t is noticed by potato growers
that the potato bug is rarely destructive
in wet season. Now, as the potato
plant loves water, it might, on a small
scale, be protected from injury, and the
crop be greatly increased by thorough
drenching once or twice a week. This
remedy is good one for the rose slug.

Ex-senator Bruce,s Pretty Wife.

The fact was pointed out to me by a
colored man, who cited many instances
to sustain his statement, that colored
men whose education or force of char
acter raised them above their fellows
almost invariably chose as their mates
women who are so nearly white as to
have little in their appearance to sug-
gest their negro ancestry. One of the
handsomest women in Washington is
the wife of ex-senator and ex-Register
Bruce. Her face is fine and oval, her
features regular, and her complexion
not near so dark as that of the conven-

A New Substitute for Glas,.

The new translucent substance in
tended as substitute for glass has
been satisfactorily adopted in some of
the public buildings of London, and
various advantages are claimed for it.
among these being such degree of
pliancy that it may be bent backward
and forward like leather and be sub
jected to very considerable tensile
strain with impunity; it is also almost
as transparent as glass and of pleas
ant amber color, varying liz shade from
very light golden to pale brown. The
basis of the material is a web Of fine
iron wire, with warp and welt threads
about one-twelfth inch apart, this
being inclosed, like fly in amber, in
n sheet of translucent varnish, of
which the base is linseed oil. There
is no resin or gum in the varnish. and
once having become dry it is capable
OF standing heat and damp without
undergoing any change, neither hard
ening nor becoming sticky. Briefly,
the manufacture is accomplished by
dipping the sheets edgewise into deep
tanks of varnish,. and then allowing
the coating which they thus receive to
dry In warm atmosphere. 1t requires
somewhat more than dozen of these
dips to bring these sheets to the re-
CURED degree of thickness, and, when
this has been accomplished, the ma
terial is stored for several weeks 10

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

Elections were held in several States
on Tuesday. Interest seemed to be
greatest in the result in Virginia.
Malone has been defeated by large
majority for Governor by Mckinney,
Democrat. He has made desperate
fight, but his Waterloo has been
reached and his power will wane. It
is said he was looking forward to the
nomination for the Vice-Presidency in
1892 on the Republican ticket, which
would have been almost assured had he
been successful on Tuesday in Virginia.
New York is supposed to have gone
Democratic, but with slight Republican
gains.
Amos J. Cummings, Democrat, has
been elected to Congress from the
Ninth District.
The last reports We had yesterday
from Ohio indicated large Democratic
gains, but it is hardly probable that the
Democrats have carried the State yet
it is possible that Campbell may have
carried the State and beat Foraker for
Governor.
1t is cheering news to the good peo-
pie of the South that Malone has been
swept under by such large majority
in Virginia. He has caused vast deal
of trouble in that State.

While a crowd was celebrating the

THE SUMMING UP.
New YORK, Nov. 6.-2 A. M:-At
this hour it may be said that New York
State goes Democratic by about lO,oo
to $1,000. New York County, with
Kings County, Brooklyn, Long and
Staten Islands, goes to Harlem River
with about $4,000 majority. The vote
in .the upper Republican Counties
throughout the State is light, and could
not touch this majority.
Wemple and Tabor, Democrats tor
Comptroller and State Treasurer, ran
badly behind on the ticket, owing to
the feeling against them on account OF
their supposed completely with the

GOOD NRWs FOR FARMERS.
What Prominent Cotton Firm Thinks Of
the Cotton Outlook:

The following from an autograph
circular received by The Herald and
News from Messrs Latham, Alexander
& Co, the we'll known bankers and
commission merchants of New York,
will be of interest to those interested in
cotton. The circular is of the date Of
October II:
"Planters," say the firm, ain many
sections are sending their cotton to
market in deliberate manner. A
systematic and abrupt holding back OF
the crop is not commendable, and such
q course of action has not been adopted
in the South. Planters, have, however,
resolved not to rush their cotton to
market, and it is gratifying to know
that they are in a position to adopt
their present policy without being
dilatory in meeting their financial obli-
cations. The fact is they have made
their crops with much lighter advances
from factors and merchants than in
any previous year. They have also,
throughout a large extent of territory,
pursued system of diversified farming
and, besides cotton, they have raised
au 2OuuUdIlCS VI COl II dll1 ilItIIS oIACA
articles. They have used less Of COM
merciaI fertilizers than formerly. The
majority oil them are, therefore, in a
position to sell their cotton when they
please.
"This course on the part of farmers,
the masking themselves independent of
outside aid, is one we have strenuously
recommended in our circulars from
time to time for many years, and We
say again it is gratifying to see planters
now approaching a condition OF per-
manent financial independence.
1.-THE demand is so great that a
higher plane of value for cotton than IN
some years past seems likely for this
season"
