DoN'r CARRY APPLES IN BAGS
When | was small boy, says a
writer, my father said: "Remember,
never to carry apples or potatoes in
bags or sacks, if you do not want
them bruised" have always re-
membered this very important ad-
vice. After | became a man and
began to understand the reason and
philosophy of the wise caution, |
perceived that when bag is filled
with apples, and they are lifted and
tumbled about, as bags of salt and
grain are handled, a large portion OF
apples will be bruised, for the reason
that the sides of the bag (the bag
itself and the weight Of the apples
will operate with leverage by way
of bruising a few apples on one
side, and then on the other until
many Of the apples will be badly
bruised. Then, when bagtul OF
apples may be stood on one end,
almost the entire weight Of the
packet will rest on a few apples at
the bottom, the sides of which will
be bruised or crushed IN to the
great damage of the fruit Western,

WASHING TON LETTER.
FROM our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18th. 1889

the hotel where Mr.. Blame ana his
family are located for the winter.
There may not be any significance
in this, but il has been the effect
OF strengthening the already gener-
ally prevalent opinion here that Mr..
Blaine will he at the head of Gen
eral Harrison's Cabinet.
An argument ha, been reached by
the conferees Of the Senate and
House on the bill providing for a
Secretary Of Agriculture, 80 that
unless the President shall interpose
a veto, which is not at all probable,
Gen. Harrison will have one more
officer in his Cabinet than any Of
his predecessors have had.
The House Committee on Military
Affairs has made favorable report
on the bill to revive the grade of
Lieutenant General of the Army and
providing for the selection Of a
Major General To fill the position.
This would limit the selection TO
Gems. Schofield, Harvard and Crook,
But it is the special object Of those
engaged in pushing the bill to
secure the promotion Of Gen. Scho-
field There i so much opposition
10 the measure that there is little
probability Of it's beco@ing "a law at
any early date.
Records are dangerous things, as
many politicians have occasion to
know. One of the latest possible
victims of the record Nemesis is
Gen. w. S. Rosecrans, at present
Register Of the Treasury. Gen.
Rosecians is nearly 70 years old,
and his various ups and downs
have left him a poor man. There
fore his friends have introduced
a bill in Congress, which has
been fayorably reported by the
Military Committee Of both Houses
to place him on the retired list Of
the Army with the rank Of Major
General, in order to provide him
with the means Of passing the re-
mainder Of his life IN comfort.
There would probably be little or no
objection to the passage of the bill
were it not for the tell-tale Congress
sional Record, which shows that
Gen. Rosecrans, while a member of
the House from California, made a
most determined and bitter although
fruitless fight against the bill plac-
ing Gen. Grant on the retired list of
the Army. Gen. Rosecrans' own
arguments are certain to be used
against his bill when it comes up.

AN exciting controversy has aris-
en- at Lacrosse between minister
and justice, relative to the legality
of the marriages solemnized by each,
and it is said that many couples
married by one or the other are very
much troubled about the legality Of
their marriages or whether they are
married at all. The Fond du Lac
Commonwealth sets all such persons
at rest by giving a few facts in con
nection with the subject, as follows:
Our supreme court has fixed things
solid on this subject. Marriage is
declared to be but a civil contract,
for the completion Of which no
special ceremony at all is needed
further than usual to any contract,
mainly TO show to others and the
parties interested that such con
tract exists. The person before
whom the marriage contract Is en-
tered into, SIM ly certities u a fact,
and If he IL not person duly au
thorlzed by statute TO SO certify, he
is the person to suffer the penalty
and not the persons who entered
into the contract The marriage is
not void by reason of the fact that
the justice, minister or other officer
was not qualified by statute to Ger
tify to it. The officer may be made
to suffer but the marriage stands.
In Wisconsin it is very easy to get
legally married and not exceedingly
difficult to get unmarried-in fact
the legal status of marriage is that
of civil contract only, and cere-
monies in connection Herewith are
by law at a discount.-Er.

Farm and Stock Notes.

Keep an eye to the future shape of the
tree, and timely remove small, needless,
crossing or crooked limbs This will OBJ.
viate heavy pruning in after years.
Taking care of the tools and implements
is one of the best modes of economizing on
the farm. The value of the tools annually
deprecated from lack of cleaning, olling
and exposure to weather, is enormous.
Cool nights sre not favorable to corn and
tender vegetables, but the ground can be
kept warm if good cultivation is given and
the weeds destroyed.
Whenever 81 crust forms on the surface of
the ground break up the soil with cuInva-
tor. A hard crust prevents absorption of
moisture and allows the rain from quick
showers to flow off to some extent. 1t also
prevents a complete appropriation of the
plant food nearer the surface.
1t has been demonstrated that horses can
feed on ensilage with advnntge, and that
where they are not required to do service,
as in winter, an allowance Of thirty pounds
of ensilage per day will keep horses in good
condition.
A good appetite indicates good health.
1t is no disadvantage to have an animal
that is heavy feeder. Such animals
usually produce proportionately to the
quantity consumed. The food is simply
the material to be converted into products.

commences 20 show itself by some drops of
gum appearing on. the trunk, which still
appears sound, but this spilling continues
increasing, the bark is perforated and the
flow OF gum augments, being fluid, turbid,
grayish in color, and Of a bad smell; the
bark then raises, drying or rotting on the
roots, aud the plant. which commences TO
turn yellow, weakens and dies.
Recent studies of this disease have proved
that its existence Is to be attributed to a
microscopic fungus. belonging to the group
OF Spheroids. Where this fungus does not
exist there is no disease; where the germs of
1t do not reach the disease cannot unfold it
self, and where the conditions of life are
wanting for this small vegetable, whether
proceeding from nature or artifcially, the
fungus dies and the disease is extirpated.
The fruit of this fungus forms itself about
the end of July or August, being preserved
during the winter for propagating its
spores in the spring The best remedy
against this disease, and which from expert
ence has given the best results, is sulphur
GUS acid, mixing Is bulks of sulphurous
acid, concentrated at Co Baume, with 100
lters OF water. Method of application; re-
move the earth round about the tree for the
circumference Of a meter or so, until no
diseased roots are met with The hole
should then be dug deeper, but with great
care, SO as not to injure the sound roots
near the trunk. to about the depth of half
meter if possible. The earth extracted
should be piled up and burned All roots
that have completely lost their bark should
be cut off, as also those which are in a state
of putrefaction, and these roots should be
burned. Afterward all the sickly portions
of the trunk, until the bark is saturated,
are well moistened with the prepared
liquid, as are likewise the diseased parts of
the roots that may be met with in such con-
dition. 1t is estimated that about five liters
are sufficient, and another five iters for
irrigating in the vicinity of the tree. The
hole is then filled up with either new soil or
the burned earth, and afterward watered
lightly. Ten liters of this water saturated
with sulphurous acid are more than suf-
fcient tor tree somewhat grown, but prac-
tice will teach the greater or less quantity
that should be employed.

a cure for Hog Cholera.

Farmer" Tallahassee, Fla, writes to the
New Orleans Tines Democrat: This
disease among swine seems to be similar
to yellow fever or ryphus fever, etc, in the
human family, and is undoubtedly disease
OF the liver, as the hogs that die, and even
those which recover, have their hvers filed
with liberated spots, and leaving hard
| spots, when they do heal, in the animals
that finally recover sufficiently to be fat
tened if any one doubts this, let him open
any hog that has just died from cholera,
and he will be convinced.
When this disease is complicated with
| lung fever there will be much coughing
among the hogs. and it will be much more
fatal than when the liver only is affected.
This disease is contagious like yellow
fever, etc, in the human family, and can't
see how certain kinds of food, salt, ashes,
ETC., or range, has anything to do with pre-
venting it among hogs; for it is a
well-known fact that the ''razor-back" is as
great sufferer from this malady as the
finer breeds of swine, let their food and
keep be what it may.
Some hogs escape when the cholera is
raging, just as some members of the hui
man family escape when the yellow fever is
raging in large city; from this fact we can
account for the many preventives and some
of the nonsense written about the disease.
We must take a common sense view of his
subject, as of everything else; ana if it is a
liver disease, calomel is the remedy; but it
is not infallible, and any one who expects to
-
among swine will certainly be disap-
pointed
As it is difficult matter TO give medi-
cine to hogs except when they are willing
and able to eat, care must be taken to give
it in time. When they refuse to eat, Gallo
mel can be forced down their threats, en-
veloped in lard, with an iron spoon with
long handle. When the animal has
reached this stage l would suggest heroic
doses every other day, according to size or
age.
An intelligent farmer who has used the
following mixture or remedy for fifteen
years, both in Alabama and Florida, says
that he has lost very few hogs from cholera
during that time. He gives the following
as soon as the disease is known to be in his
neghhorhood;
Three ounces of calomel, 1 pound of
sulphur, one-half pound of copperas, one
fourth pound of blue stone, gallon of pine
tar. Mix we'll and smear two ears of corn
every morning to each hog, for one week.
Leave off one week and then repeat for
three weeks. The sick hogs should be
separated from the well ones, and the best
sanitation established possible.
Fram sixty to sevanty-ive drops of car
bolic acid TO gallon of drinking water is
help in this disease, as it prevents decay of
the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines. Charcoal corrects the acidity of
the stomach, and is beneficial to that extent,
but it is no cure-all, as the advocates of the
"burnt corn" theory claim.
The burnt corn should be fed to the hogs
before they refuse to eat, as it then acts as a
preventive. Medicine should be given in
diligently, even to hogs, or more damage
may be done than good.
