plants are lifted, with mass of earth
on them and placed in position in the
new bed. This work. may be done any
time in the year, when the ground is
not frozen. We have had ripe berries
in this way six weeks after early spring
planting. Caution is necessary in
adopting this mode on adhesive or
heavy soils, not to press it with the
spade with such firmness as to make it
compact, solid or adhesive.
These different methods have various
advantages, but it should be borne in
mind that the plants exhaust the soil
more or less, and require the annual
application of manure or fertilizers.
But the most perfect growth, and es-
pecially required for marketing, and
berries of the finest quality are to be
obtained only by making new beds by
transplanting into rich, fresh, weu-pre-
pared soil. If done as soon as the crop
has been gathered, say about. the mid
die of summer, when the soil is suf-
ficiently moist, they will come forward
and make good growth through au-
tumn, and be nearly as forward as if
set out the previous spring. They may
be set a month later, cutting off all the
old and large leaves, and preserving
the freshly-applied moisture in the soil
with fine mulch of manure.-Country

AROMA and Color Of Honey.

BY the color of the honey and the
aroma therefrom, an experienced bee
keeper can determine the source from
whence it came. Thus, it is quite easy
to tell buckwheat honey by it's very
dark look, and by its strong and pun
gent odor. Honey-dew has the same
dark look. but lacks the odor or aroma.
In fact, there is little or no aroma
about honey-dew. For this reason no
bee-keeper need be deceived as to the
source of such odorless honey. Aroma
is term employed to designate those
substances, the extreme minute par
ticles of which are supposed to affect
the organs of smell so as to produce
peculiar odors The particles diffused
through the atmosphere and affecting
the olfactory nerves-if the theory of
particles of matter be correct-must
indeed be extremely minute, yet not
SO much so but that we easily detect
the smell from field Of any honey
bearing plant or flower. These odors
have generally boen supposed to de-.
pend upon essential oils -Bvrsl Ho,aa

In making the well.known kerosene

THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.
Democratic Methods Approved by Pro-

Democratic Methods Approved by Pro-
gressive Americans.
That the democratic party is essential
ly the party of the people has been
shown in various ways, by the enact
ment of popular measures, by judi.
cious economy in administration, and
by furthering such new reforms as
may benefit the people. 1t has on two
notable occasions voiced a prevailing
public sentiment which is likely to
take practical shape in time in a con-
stitutional amendment, the election Of
United States senators directly by the
people. Gen. Palmer was nominated
for senator at the democratic state
convention of Illinois, and to the firm
stand taken by that convention is
largely due the election of such ster-
ling democrat. The Maryland demo
cratic convention took like course in
unanimously nominating Senator Cor
man for the position he now SO ably
fills. In both cases the sentiment of the
party in very important direction was
clearly and unequivocally expressed,
and no excuse left for legislative deals
or auctions. BY this means the demo-
cratic party avoids what might prove a
source of scandal and bitterness. The
legislative auction which in many
states precedes the election of United
States senator is one of the most OBJ
noxious features of our political sys-
tenn. A state convention is much near
er the people than the average legis.
lature, and in the absence of such de-
sirable reform as the direct election of
senators, this democratic plan of a
nomination in convention is most ad-
mirable one. Had it been tried in this
state some years ago, Mr. Evarts Or
Mr.. Hiscock would never have gone to
Washington. Neither wonld Quay or
Cameron have succeeded in Pennsyl-
vania without hard struggle. The
democratic method is deadly blow at
the Infamous Legislative auction, and
should be demanded by the people in
every iastance.-Albany Argus.

No doubt by this time President
Harrison has discovered that it is of no
further political use to ask of his Sec
retary at Bar Harbor the scriptural
questions: art thou in health, my
brother?"
For an ailing candidate the magnetic
man makes dreadfully healthy rival.
The invalidation play on the part of
the administration is over. 1t has
found it as impossible to repress the
Blaine impulse with the fiction of
physical and mental incapacity as it is
to start Harrison boom on the basis
of the presidential speeches made on
the continental itinerary.
But it is the wheel within the wheel
that causes the present peculiar whirr
in republican politics. The Quay,
Clarkson and Dudley triumvirate is a
piece of machinery beyond Harrison's
operating skill. 1t puzzles him ex-
tremely. He finds he has got some

any contemplation of the party cham

such like virtuous schemes of office
holding. Clarkson's fine work on pres
idential candidates is a study in the
line of political complexity and manip-
ulation. And Dudley and Quay have

Inquiries are often heard in public places
about the large breweries of this country,
and in view of the interest people take in
the history of all successful enterprises, a
few facts short and to the point, about one
Of the largest and best known Of the West
ern Breweries, viz, the p. Schoenhoren
Brewing Co. of Chicago, kindly supplied by
that concern, may not be out OF order.
Business was commenced in 1858 by the
founder, P. Schoenhofen, on small lot Of
$500 square feet, for which he paid about
$500. The ground now taken up by the
brewery. amounts to lOl ,575 square feet and
large piece of property acquired a few
months ago ut a cost of $4,000, for the
building of an enlarged bottling department
made necessary by the fact that although
working day and night in their present
location they are unable to fill the demand
for tkeir bottled goods, and there is enough
ground for a good sized farm, all to be de-
voted to the production of Gambrinus foam
ing beverage.
The brewery prope:is known to be the
bestfitted up in the United States, andis well
worth visit, if only to view the two enOr-
nous copper kettles in which the brewing
is done. Each kettle has capacity of 500
barrels, so that by brewing twice day
every day in the year, total annual output
of over 730, 600 barrels can be obtained.
The elevator and malt house have st0r-
age capacity of over 100000 bushels and a
mating capacity Of over ! SEQ bushels a day.
As for their various brands Of beer, it is
not necessary to say much about them.
Most people have heard of them, and the
popularity of this class of merchandise is
generally very good criterion of quality.
Their special high grade brew EDELwEIss is

AGRICULTURAL HINTS,

Two Forms of Securing Self-Renewal by
Means of Runners.
There are two distinct ways of re-
newing strawberry plantations-the
one which is generally preferred and
adopted being simply transplanting,
and the other some form of self-renew-
al by the agency of runners. An OBJ
lection to the latter is the continued oc-
cupation of the same piece Of ground,
the fertility being partly exhausted by
the previous growth. This objection
may be in great degree remedied by
copious and skillful manuring, and if
the soil has been found by trial to be
especially benefited by some particular
fertilizer, the plant will be improved
by an addition of it to the barn manure.

How the Harrison Administration Runs

the Treasury.
Secretary Fosters statement OF the
public debt and of the cash in the treas
ury for the month of July, 1884, is un-
doubtedly dishonest document, in
that it is carefully calculated to con-
ceal and not to show the real condition
of the treasury. In the first place Mr..
Foster has deliberately suppressed a
debt item of $54, 2O7, ,975.75 which was
included in Mr. WINDOWS statements.
He has then placed to the credit of the
available cash S1oO,OOo,OO) collateral
against which paper notes are in circu-
lation. And after half a dozen MINOR
charges, all calculated to the same end,
he makes this comparative summary:

made the net cash July 80 would stand
thus:
Less lie bank note o redemption fund. H,s07,975 Is
Net balance in treasury July 0.... s1,57l74O 10
The net balance is certainly not more
than that, if it is that much. 1t is
probably nothing at all. 1t is certain
that, leaving out of count the debt of
the available cash on hand to the ma
tional bank note redemption fund, al
ready expended, as available cash,
there is not So, 100000 available cash
in the treasury, nor anything like it.

loan of S21 1,5ss,6s6 without interest).
It is permanent at least as far as the
Harrison administration is concerned,
for it is afraid to call it in. Mr.. Fos-
ter, however, counts it as cash actually
in the treasury. And he counts as
availa BILE $50, 100000 of minor coin that
cannot be handled because it is legal
tender only in small amounts. So in
this situation it is easy to understand
