Farm and Garden Notes.

bCHpbluE IIONtuSuCc.
! Some people think farm animal
is like postage stamp--no good
until licked. They are sadly mis-
taken.
A successful dairyman must be 3
farmer and must raise most Of the
food consumed, says prominent
Vermont dairyman.
All animals are benefited by s
change of food occasionally, and cv~
cry one is injured that is allowed to
stand on cold, wet floor.
Terracing on lands inclined to
wash or shed water too rapidly is
superseding the old style Of hillside
ditching with many southern far
mers.
Any one who intends TO begin bee
keeping for profit will make a good
investment by working tor time in
the apiary Of an experienced bee
keeper
Hen manure should be keptin bar
rels or dry shed and we'll mixed
with either plaster, muck or road
dirt. Handled in this manner, IL is
the best fertilizer the farm produces.
Set the tramps at work repairing
the roads in payment for their lodg
ing. They are authority on the sub
ject, have done their share towards
wearing out the roads and have AR
interes. in keeping them in good
condition.
In buying poultry for breeding
purposes 60 to some reliable breed
err, who has reputation NJ stake
1t may cost little more for the
birds, but the buyer can depend on
what he gets. Culls are expensive at
any price.
To make good, warm breakfast
for forty fowls: Boil heapng
half-peck of potatoes, mash them,
and one quart each Of shorts and
bran, teaspoonful each OF salt and
pepper, and finish by aiding hot
water enough to mix into stiff
dough.
Glover cut up in small pieces,
scalded, mixed with bran and oats,
makes good morning feed for fowls
Have you even tried itY 1t will
make them active this produces an
inclination to lay. Eggs are what
you need most when hens are want.
! Ing to sit. Better try ii.
Ten eggs hatched from thirteen
set, is good enough; don't expect
too many and you will never be dis
appointed. Take all things as they
come; YOU will feel good humored.
There is great deal in being con.
tented few people arc nowadays,
much TO their own and others dis
comfort.
Have q place in which to deposit
whatever will burn. A shallow
trench of proper size should Re made
to hold the ashes. When burning
has been made cover the trench with
boards to prevent the ashes from
blowing away. BY care in gather
ing the rubbish supply may be Sc.
cured without delay.
Drawing manure and placing in
heaps to be spread in the spring is
positively wasteful process. A good
farmer will not be guilty OF such
gross mismanagement. The inven-
zion OF the manure spreader certainly
offers no more excuse on this score
A manure spreader is an almost in
dispensible factor in progressive az

FIGHTING ITALIANS.
Two Factions Face Each Other with
Revolvers and Stinettos.

Two Factions Face Each Other With
RevOlvers and StillettOs.
HAzELToN, Pa. Sept. 29.-There are
two factions of Italians in this city
and surrounding country-those who
belong to a secret order, and those who
are opposed to it. There is great
deal of bad blood between them.
Last night both factions met at q
rattle, and late in the evening began to
ight. Revolvers and stillettos were
produced, and for q time things looked
desperate. They were finally elected
from the hall and renewed the fight on
the street. The non-society men were
victorious.
One of them while on his way homo
on the outskirts of town was fred
upon from ambush and his body and
limbs riddled with two charges of
birdshot. He had miraculous escape
from death.
Joe Permento, who bears the reputa-
tion of being a bandit at homo and
upon whose head there is a price, is
being looked for by the police.
The society was recently organized
and is not looked upon with favor by
the people, who class it with the high
binders and Mollies.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-Another
attempt has been made upon the life OF
the Gear. This time the conspirators
planned to wreck q train by which it
was believed the Gear intended to
travel from st. Petersburg to Warsaw.
An obstruction was placed upon the
track in the shape of Eve sleepers.
which was tightly wedged in between
the rails. The train which was sup
posed to be carrying the Gar crashed
into this barricade of sleepers and was
thrown from the track.
No details of the outrage have been
obtained, and it is not known whether
any arrests have been made in conneo-
tion with the affair.

A SERIOUS SITUATION.
A Critical Moment for LOndOn's Giant
Labor Organization.

A Critical Moment for LOndOn's Giant
Labor Organization.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The critical mo-
ment in the history of the Dockers'
Union is approaching, the moment
which will mark the beginning of a
life and death struggle between this
most remarkable of labor organizations
and it's natural enemy, the most gigan-
tic organization of capital, the Ship
owners Federation.
Three vessels from Australia, loaded
and manned by non-unionists, are due
to arrive in London this week. If the
lockers refuse to unload them a general
lockout is certain to follow. If they do
unload them they abando the principle
of unionism and forsake their brethren
in Australia.
A lockout at this particular time
wovld be a serious blow for the men,
as their funds are depleted by their
liberal donations in aid of the Austria
liam strikers.
The Shipowners' Federation has
enough non-union men on its lists to
form a working force, and the only
trouble would be to secure suf6cien
police aid to protect the new men for a
while from the violence of the locked
out union men. The unionists realiz e
the gravity of the situation, and the
matter will be fully debated at the
first annual congress of the organiza-
tion, which will be in session from
tomorrow to Thursday.

WAR ON BISHOPS.

A Pennsylvania Congregation Opposed to

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. 29.-The war of
the bishops, which convulsed the Chris
tian Evangelical Association of the
United States last winter and spring,
and resulted in the successive expul-
sion of all three of the rival bishops,
Messrs. Dubbs, Bowman and Esher, has
taken on a new phase in Pennsylvania.
A majority of the congregation of the
Ebenezer Church of this city are OPP
posed to having amy bishops at all, and
in order TO place themselves beyond the
authority of any that may hereafter be
chosen by the association, they have
applied to the civil court here to have
the church charter so changed that the
control of the church property and its
ecclesiastical management may be trans
ferred from the association to the con-
gregation itself. A vigorous minority,
who are not opposed to bishops, object
to this procedure, and for several
weeks they have kept up the iveliest
sort of a fight against the majority fac
ton,

JoHNsoNBuRe. Pa. Sept. 29.-Dr. H.
II. Smith, we'll known resident of
this town, and his wife, whom he mar
society is shocked. Mrs. Smith was a
Miss Maud Miles, of Ridgway. A short
time ago she discovered letters which
proved that the relations between her
husband ana a Miss Altenburg, a clerk
in his furniture store, were not what
they ought to be, aad that the affair
which had begun before her marriage
had not been ended by that event.
She at once decided to leave the
doctor, and he has gone to Salamanca,
N. Y, the former home of Miss Alien
burg. Miss AltenburG is also said to
be in Salamanca.

would have knocked him out. ,

THE lottery law strikes both at the
agents and the patrons of the lottery
concern. 1t is made criminal for any
officer or agent of the company or any
person in any part of the United States
to mail any lottery communication,
letter, postal, circular, ticket, money
order, check or draft. The mails are
closed to every newspaper publishing
advertisements of the lottery or an
nouncements of its drawings. The act
aims an effective blow at any bank or
other concern under whose cover the
company may seek to carry on its
business-the postmaster general being
empowered to direct any local post
master not to deliver registered letters
to any person or company engaged in
the lottery business or the agent of such
person or company. The constitution
ality of this stringent law is to be tested
in the United States supreme court by
the Louisiana Lottery company, which
will not leave single stone unturned il
order to thwart the action of congress
the will OF the people, and maintain iti
supremacy as the leading swindling con-
Germ of the country.

THE senate has deep interest in large
capitalists, but none at all in small ones.
1t voted to limit the sugar bounty to
producers of 500 pounds or more. This
leaves most of the maple sugar pro-
ducers and some of the sorghum sugar
producers with no bounty, while the
large producers are to get two cents a
pound. People of small means have no
rights that republican senators are
bound to respect. On motion of Senator
Sherman the senate limited the draw
back on exports of burlaps to quantities
worth not less than $40. \ New York
linen merchant said of this 1--WE sell a
great many small exporters burlaps,
where the duty ON any one bill does not
amount to $40. 1t is a common occur
renee to have bills where the duty is
five, six and seven dollars, and by the
provisions of Senator Sherman's amend
ment, these dealers will receive no draw
back, and are therefore placed at 8
manifest disadvantage in competing
with large corporations whose pur
chasers are more extensive"
