for western grain. They can raise their
needed grain on their own land if they
will but just work for it; raise oats and
pease. raised four hogs last year that
weighed, when dressed, 1900 lbs, that
didn't have a kernel of corn. l raised
oats and pease, sifted out the pease and
fed them whole with skim milk; all
they ever had. Have got eight acres
sowed this year, three bushels of pease
to one of oats, sowed three bushels to
the acre. Farmers should raise more
grain"
AN agricultural newspaper which has
nobody on its staff who is practical
fruit-grOwer is apt to allow some very
misleading matter a place in its COL
umns. An instance is seen in the fol-
lowing note, printed in an exchange:
One of your contributors recon-
mended piling wood ashes close around
young fruit trees. have tried it, but
ought to have known better. But l
thought that if it was good for his trees,
it ought to be good for mine; so piled
it up. did the work in the spring,
and the trees did not get out in full leaf
till both were dead-an early Crawford
peach and a Moorpark apricot, for
which / would not have taken So.
Coal ashes piled around peach and
ounce trees prevent the borer to some
extent and do no harm, but would
not advise any one to use wood ashes
in this way if he values the life of the
tree" Unleached wood ashes is a
powerful caustic, and should never be
placed in close contact with any living
plant.
THERE is no more vexed question
than that of due credit by one editor to
another. 1t is the custom of some
punctiious editors to credit everything
they cut from an exchange to that ex-
change, unless it is already credited to
another. But in this way the greatest
thief often gets the most credit. In
agricultural papers, particularly, there
are thousands of things that have to be
repeated over and over, and have long
been sort of common stock, like old
proverbs. If one of these is put in an
original and particularly forcible way,
the paper which so puts it ought to have
credit for it; but usually, instead of
getting it, this credit is very apt to go
to the stealer which has the widest cir
culation. We know of one prominent
agricultural paper which habitually
prints extracts from its exchanges, and
instead of giving the proper credit, puts
at the end the name of the writer, as
though contributed directly to its own
columns. 1t has done so several times
with short articles of our own, appear
ing here, or in its other exchanges.
This is the rankest kind of stealing;
but it is persisted in, Notwithstanding
repeated protests.

IN lie II a success. He thinks over 50 900 600

In speaking of premiums offered for large
crops. he says there Is one field OF corn In

THE THIRD OF NOVEMBER.
And What Came of 1t, Politically, In the
Several States.
MASSACHUSETTS,
A Democratic Governor-Everythin Else


Democratic Governor-Everything Else
Republican.
Boston, Mass, Nov. At is estimat-
ed that in the whole state. Russell
(Dem.) has received 156, 900 and Allen
(Rep.) 151 900, leaving the governor a
plurality of about 5000. The vote of
Boston is Sc, 515 for Russell and %, 997
for Allen, which gives the Democrats a
plurality in the city Of 1885. Lieut.
Gov. Halle and the balance of the
Republican state ticket are elect
ed by ample pluralities. State
Auditor Trefry DEM is defeated.
In most places he ran behind Cor
coran on the Democratic ticket. The
returns for the legislature are very in
complete. Of 26 complete returns from
the Senate II are Republican. among
the surprises being the defeat of Rob-
ert Howard, of Fall River. The Senate
will be Republican. The House has
complete returns from 1877 members, a
little more than one-half, and these
stand 50 Republicans and 45 Democrats.
Speaker Barrett is reelected by twice
his last years plurality.
Although nearly thirty-six hours
have elapsed since the polls closed
in the state election there are
eight towns that have not yet been
heard from at all in the Associated
Press returns, and several others whose
complete vote has not been received.
The footings of the governor votes at
hand give: Russell (Dem.), 10000;
Allen (Rep.), 1851 Russell's plural
ity, 5,7S4.
In the eight missing towns last year
Russell's vote was ,138; Bracket, /, 231.
On this basis Russell's plurality in the
whole state will be 1901. In the legis-
lature the Republicans will have ma-
jor1ty in both branches, probably of
four or five in the Senate, and about
sixty in the House. The entire state
Republican ticket except governor is
elected by majorities ranging from 5000
to $4,000.

Gregg rep Tor auditor-general, and
53,S88 for Morrison (Rep.) for
state treasurer. The proposition
for constitutional convention
is overwhelmingly rejected. Only ten
counties in tie state gave majorities in
favor of the convention, and in the forty
two counties from which complete re-
turns have been received on the vote
on the question there is a net majority
of $3.50 against holding the conven.
ton. The counties giving majorities for
the convention are: Bedford, Carbon,
Columbia, Elk, Fayette, Lackawanna,
Luzerne, Pike, Warren and Wayne.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Returns from
every county in the state give Gregg
(Rep.) 50,S33 plurality over Wright
(Dem.) for auditor-general; Morrison

trunk to the place where it was found
from the spot where the crime was COM
mitted The victims head has not yet

A dock laborer named Van Court has
been arrested on suspicion of being the
murderer. He was seen to enter the
