SOLEMN WHISTLING.

Our esteemed contemporary the Register
is whistling loudly to keep its courage up
as it passes through the Democratic grave
yard to the tomb of defeat Last evening
it gave four "unanswerable'' reasons why
the Democrats should succeed this fall
There is one reason why they will not that
is entitled to little consideration, and
that is that they will not get votes enough.
Let us take a look at the vote two years
ago, when the Democrats, the Republicans,
the Prohibitionists and the Labor party
got out the best vote they could, it being
presidential year. Then Morris got rs, ,074
votes for governor, and Merwin got rs, 165
for acknowledgements, running ahead of
his ticket over ], 800 votes. Camp, Prohi-
bition- candidate for governor, got 4,631
votes and the Labor candidate got 263
To be elected governor in this State re-
quires majority over ell. Morris, to have
had a majority of one over Merwin's vote,
the Prohibition vote and the Labor vote
two years ago, would have had to get a, ,9Se
more votes than he did.
This year the vote may be somewhat
smaller all around, but there is no reason
to believe that there has been any change
which will favor the Democrats. On the
other hand Merwin is at the head of the
ticket this time. His popularity has no
decreased, but has greatly increased. HI
| ran ahead of Morris two years ago 81
votes, and there were 4, a95 more for Nor
ris to make up before he would have had {
| majority over ALL What reason is there
for expecting that he can come anywhere
near bridging over the gap this yearl
The Registers "unanswerable" reasons
fade away before this showing. 1t will
have to change it's tune, if it feels obliged
to continue whistling. This one is too
solemn, even for q graveyard.

ELECTRIC DANGERs.

Ever since the use of electricity became
general its dangers have been made quite
as prominent as its benefits, and some peo-
pie have taken the narrow and partial view
that if an agency is dangerous it should be
excluded altogether from public use; or,
what amounted to the same thing, be sur
rounded with such exclusions and limita-
tions as would rob it of almost all its ca
pacity for usefulness and restrict all posi-
bility of advance and development in its
application. Professor Henry Morton
makes a good point when he recalls the
fact that on the introduction of steam into
England laws were passed limiting the
pressure in boilers to thirty pounds to the
square inch; that the first railroad charter
contained clause limiting the speed of
trains to twelve miles an hour, and that
when a speed of thirty miles an hour was
suggested the idea was characterized by a
prominent journal of the day as simply in
sane, and it was said that people would
just as soon be hurled out of cannon as
to permit themselves to be hurled along at
such fearful velocities, which would doubt
less stop the circulation of the blood be-
sides arresting other vital functions. But
in every case the accidents and injuries
produced by these various innovating
agencies-fast trains, high pressure boil
ers, dynamite, and SO on, have been vastly
less than those caused by the things which
they superseded. The fatalities by express
trains are as nothing compared with those
| by freight trains, and the present loss of
life and injury to passengers by rail is in
significant in proportion to the numbers
carried when compared with those of the
days of stage coaches. The same relations
exist between accidents by high and low
pressure boilers, and By dynamite and
gunpowder. Promising that the users OF
electric currents have in too many cases
neglected the most obvious precautions
and that the most powerful and dangerous
agencies become the most efficient protec
tors and servants of man, Professor Nor
ton inculcates the intelligent and adequate
control Of electricity, and cites number
of standard rules, the observance oi
which, he vouches, will secure perfect inn
munity from injury by the electric cur
rent
This is sensible view of the matter
The evil that the use of electricity ha
done is nothing compared to the good.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

An officer of the Reading railroad makes
the important point that up to the acci-
dent of last week no passenger on that
road had ever been injured who had kept
his seat. There have been accidents on
the Reading during which it would have
been very hard for even the most present
minded man to keep his seat
There are at least two sides to the
divorce question. A man who spent ten
months in South Carolina, where divorces
are never granted, made record of $40
separations, many of them with murder
as the result, and several hundred cases
where husband and wife have lived to-
gether for years without speaking. he
says that divorce would have been god
send in every case.

She, she was laid away
From the living light Of day,
In the early far-off ages, while yet the Sphinx

And the quiet earth hath kept her
Since they who walled and wept her
Cried their cry of lamentation in the old ERyp

She she has rested well
For yet glance can tell
The latest hands that touched her were loving,
longing hands;
Then let her calmly slumber
Through years we shall not number,
At peace for endless cons in the drifting desert

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

TIE man who props up overladen fruit
trees instead of picking off the over
abundant fruit sacrifices the future wels
fare of his trees for the sake of pres
ent crop, which is often an inferior one
because the fruit has no chance to de-
velop, says the Michigan Farmer
HoRsBRADIsH in 'the good old times"
has been known to yield from three to
six tons per acre, and sell at from 500
to $500 per ton, says the Michigan
Farmer 1t is not likely these profits
could be realized nowadays. A Connec-
ticut man grew four tons to the acre,
grated it, put it on the market and sold
it for twelve cents per pound.
PLANTS like the aster, verbena, phloX
and pansy are benefited by transplant
ing once or twice, says Good Housekeep-
ing. 1t makes good stoclly plants of
them, while poppies, candytuft, mignon-
cite are tap-rooted and the seeds should
be planted in the beds whore they are to
grow. Tap-rooted means that they have
one long root and but few short roots
while an aster, or pansy, has many short
roots near the surface which hold the
earth when they are taken up. After
the ground gets warm and the cold
weather {, really gone, the seedlings
can be set out in the beds. Choose
cloudy day, or after the sun goes down,
for this work. Asters and verbenas
should be set one foot apart, and they
want plenty Of room. After setting out,
water and shade when the sun is out for
three or four days, uncovering at night.

FEEDING CALVES.
A Canadian Farmer who Successfully
Uses Skim-Milk

n Canadian Farmer who successfully
Uses Skim-Milk.
A very successful feeder in Canada
uses the following method in raising
calves on sllim-milk.
1.-THE calves are fed by hand all the
new milk they will take three times a
day until about a week old. Then skim
milk is added, only little at first, but
the quantity of skim-mill1 is so in
creased and that of the new milk SO re-
duced that in two weeks from the
commencement of this change skim
milk only will be fed. The skim-milk
is fed only when it is sweet, as when
sour it produces scours and Injuries di-
gestion in other ways. The skim-millt
is fed at the temperature of milk just
taken from the COW. In heating it a
portion of the milk is put on the stove
in pan or pail, and heated gradually
till quite warm. 1t is then poured into
the portions respectively set apart for
each calf The calves get the milk
three times a day for, say a month,
from the beginning of the change to
skim-milk, but less quantity is given
at noon, and If fed regularly they may
get all the skim-milk they will take
without injury to them.
When the change is being made from
new milk to skim-milk fax seed is
added to the milk. 1t is prepared as
follows: For two calves take half tea
cupful of fax at night, pour on two
quarts of boiling water, allowing it to
steep till morning. 1t is then warmed
and added to the milk; the quantity of
the fax may be gradually but slowly in
creased until three-fourths of a teacup-
full of flax seed, stepped in a proportion
ate increase of hot water, is given to
each animal The flax for the night
meal is put to steep in the same way in
the morning. Milk is fed until the
calves are seven or eight months old.
They should have access to all the clean
water they will drink at all times.
They get all the meal they will eat up
clean twice a day. The mixture con-
sists of one-fourth ground peas, one
fourth ground oats, and one-half wheat
bran; this is mixed with good hay run
through cutting-boX. The proportion
of the hay to the meal is increased as
the calves get older. Where meal of this
kind is not to be had, boys, give your
calves oats, which you may feed whole,
and you need not mix them with cut
hay. When autumn comes, oat sheaves
are sometimes cut in the chatter and
the meal mixture added. but not so
much of it in quantity as when the cut
oat sheaves are not fed. They get what
long hay they eat up clean in winter, and
gree n food of almost any kind in summer.
They are kept in loose box stalls in the
stable all through the first summer,
which are kept dark in the season of
flies. They may get a good supply of
sliced roots in the season for these
