vote standing: Geary A. Haines 5, Hudson
so, and Shanahan 33.
The vote was nearly stationary until the
twenty first ballot, when Mendocino
county, which had voted solid for Hudson,
gave two to Geary. Napa, which had also
voted for Hudson, gave Geary four votes,
and these, with the forty-nine he already
had, made fifty-six votes, one more than
was necessary TO nominate him.

Press Comments.
SAN Francisco, August 21st.-The Alta
California, in an editorial on the nomina-
tion of Pond, says the nomination was
perhaps the strongest that could have been
made. This year the campaign will be
made upon platform of retrenchment,
and Mr.. Ponds official record typifies the
issue. He is business man rather than
partisan, and his ideas of economy are
rigid in the extreme.
The Examiner says, in part: Under
Ponds administration as Mayor of San
Francisco taxation has steadily declined,
while the public revenues were judiciously
expended. He steadily Interposed his
veto between the people and the attacks
of predatory servants and taught
insolvent corporations that the public had
rights which they were bound to respect.

him for Governor, and every part will help

sod furnished what onions required

gard to weed seeds, q stiff sod is freer

shall sow on sod again this season,
about the middle of May, when the
ground will be warm enough to ger

Winter Wheat Condition Declining
Drought In Nebraska.
CHICAGO, May 2S-The Farmers Re-
view says: Relative to winter wheat,
our Illinois correspondents continue to
report the condition declining. Many
are the complaints of chess and cheat,
and several correspondents report dam
age by Hessian fly. Indiana averages
show slight improvement in condition
since our last report. In Ohio the con-
dition has not changed materially dur
ing the past two weeks. In Missouri
the weather in portions of the State
has been favorable; considerable i'm
provement has taken place in those To-
calities. Wheat is heading irregularly,
however, and there are complaints Of
chess. Kentucky reports of the condi-
ton show decline of several points.
In Kansas wheat has been injured con-
siderably by drought, and in a few coun-
ties by hail and Hessian fly. The
average condition in that State is ap-
parently ten per cent. lower than
it was two weeks ago. Nebraska still
suffers from drought.

FARM NOTES.

Hay is best cured in the shade where
there is plenty of air. Hay thus made
is more nutrit Gus and all animals, like
it better.
Green tansy put into the nests and
on the rOosts and different parts of the
poultry house is good remedy for
chicken lice.
In all towns and cities there is a good
demand at fair prices for all the good
poultry that is raised. But at this sea-
son it must be young and tender in Or
der to realize the best prices.
The objection to mixing grasses in
seeding q meadow is that few or none
of the varieties of grasses used for max
ing hay ripen at the same time. and
therefore some must be cut too early or
too late.
The better breeds of turkeys make 80
much better growth that it is poor
economy to continue raising the poorer
grades. 1t costs no more to raise those
of the best quality than the poorest,
while there is considerable difference in
the price.
The corn still naming in farmers
hands in Kansas is at present prices
worth about as much as the entire crop
was worth when it was gathered And
yet, it is estimated. nearly 100000. 900
bushels have been sold. Winfield

The hay crop is one of the most i'm

it is harvested at the proper stage and is

Where there is a considerable quantity
OF hay needed it will be found a good
plan to have a variety of grasses rather
than to depend upon one or two kinds.

When the cattle are first turned into

water and often acts like laxative
medicine. Cattle run down in flesh and
the milk is not so rich in butter. Under
such circumstances the cows should be
given o d hay. They will eat certain
quantity quite greedily and it does them
good. 1t cOunteracts the effect OF lush
grass. If now a ration of bran is also
given each day those who have not tried

others who entertain doubts of the cat

it does them good. There always should
