AS there seems to be some excite
ment among the people in politics,
and as l have lately joined my old
party, (the Republican party,) after
having strayed around amongst the
prohibition greenback, labour and
peoples party, (and occasionally I
would stop with the democrat par
ty,) for the last eight or ten years;
though greatly to my sorrow and
regret. l have heard one or two
Republicans speak as though they
were dissatisfied with the Republic
can party, and talk like they would
join some one of the new political
parties, that seem to grow only for
short time, like a mushroom, or
soon 60 dry, like a wet-weather
spring. Now then l would warn
all such to beware how they forsake
the good old Republican party, and
60 eff after strange gods, for l have
had con siderable experience in this
matter myself. But if any Repub-
lican should act so foolish as to do
so, 1 would advise him to read "Mc-
Beth" in Shakespeare, for his road
that he will have to travel, will be
made just about as plain as Nc.
Beth's was when he went to Heca-
tes' cave, and there he consulted
the witches. When he looked in
the cave, his mind filled with am.
bition, 50 that he wanted to rule
and not be governed. l will give a
short quotation from Shakespeare,
for the benefit of any, (if there be
SUCH in the Republican party who
have an unruly temper or DISPOSE
tion, at the present time.
sin the callron boil and bake,
Eye of mite and toe Of frog
Wool of bat and tongue of frog.
Adder's fork, and blind worms
sting,
Lizard legs, and owlet's wings.
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell broth boil and bubble"
Something like such sights as
these, which troubled the mind of
McBeth, and myself, while I have
been straying around now for some
time, without any certain home in
the political parties, will surely
bring any good Republican to polit-
ical ruin. So I say let every man
stay under his own vine, and his
own Republican fig tree.

POINTS ON PRUNING

The old school belief that it is in
furious to prune during winter is plaus-
ible, but not practically correct Better
adopt the well-known maxim, "Prune
whenever your knife is sharp" to which
might be added, -''and you have time
to give the work proper attention. !"
We may reason that the cut portion will
be injured by excessive cold, but some
how the wound quickly hardens and be-
comes indifferent to changes of tempera-
ture, if, indeed, the latter ever affects it's
wellbeing. Young bark will not form
when growth is in state of it, but as
soon as sap begins to flow in spring
granulation takes place and quickly
creates a protection from rain, which,
after all, is the worst enemy to be
guarded against. The removal of
branch of airy size should be followed at
once by coating of some impervious
substance, and nature will then attend 10
the case in due season aud in her own
wise way. | have experin ented with
trimming grapes every month, from the
time the leaves fall in ~ umn until Young
growth starts in spring. Little, if any,
difference was perceptible the ensuing
season, SO that impaired vitality conse-
quent on 'loss of sap" must be regarded
as somewhat of myth. When trees are
without leaves there is nothing to OBJ
struct the view, consequently one has
better opportunity of Judging of their
needs than during the summer months.
All rules for the operation are fallacious;
each tree requires treatment according
to its growth and habit. What might
be judicious pruning for Smokehouse
apple would perhaps be entirely unsuited
for Ben Davis or Lady Apple. Common

CURING PORK IN BRINE.

Large packers kill hogs and by the use
of ice cure the products at all seasons of
the year The farmers season is mainly
included in the interval between the 10th
of December and LIST of February, when
cool weather and immunity from insects
may be expected to prevail. AS hereto
fore recommended, hogs should be
butchered early, for fattening them in
cold weather is not profitable. For
picked pork the middles should be cut
crosswise into pieces of convenient size
that will pack snugly on the edges in a
barrel or cask, which, if not new. should
be thoroughly cleansed from last years
use and free from any faint whatever.
Cover the bottom of the cask with salt
an inch deep, and as each layer is put in
fill all the interstices with salt and cover
the layer with it also. Proceed thus,
finishing the packing with layer of salt
on top of the whole. Then, as soon as
convenient, fill the cask with brine that
contains all the salt it will hold in solu-
ton, remembering to keep the meat al
ways covered with brine and that there
is no danger of sailing fat pork too
much.-Ne10 York World.

RrRBER HORsEsHOEs.

A reputed protection for the fore feet
of horse is shoe consisting of a rubber
oval band about quarter of an inch
thick, terminating at the ends in a calk
or cushion. The general shape is that Of
a horseshoe, the rubber cushions repre-
sentIng the calks. An iron plate goes
with this, and the heel ends are shortened
to give room for the rubber 2alks. The
rubber shoe, with layer of canvas on
its fattened side, goes against the foot,
and is nailed on with the iron shoe, the
whole forming an iron plate shoe with
rubber calks. When it is estimated that
a horse weighing 1000 pounds going at
$3.50 gait strikes ton every time he
puts down his fore foot it is not hard to
understand that any efficient mode of
reducing the tremendous conclusion that
must ensue is of the utmost value

CABBAGE.

In growing cabbage, whether for
early, midsummer or winter, there are
three requirements necessary to success
good, healthy plants, suitable soil and
last, but not least, good cultivation.
Our early cabbage is sown in hotbeds
about the middle of February; the young
plants are aired frequently, transplanted
when small, and exposed to the cold as
they grow older, so as to insure good,
stocky, well hardened plants. The Sec
ond crop we SOW in cold frames the last
of March, sparingly to avoid transplant
ing; and for winter use about April 20.
The varieties we use are early Jersey
Wakefield for first crop. Vick's all Sea-
sons for second and third crops. The
all seasons stand number one, in our est1-
nation, Notwithstanding the many ex-
cellent kinds mentioned in catalogues. 1t
is large, firm, sure to head and in fact
reliable in all respects.
Early cabbages require very rich soil,
while late ones will do we'll wherever
good crop of corn can be raised; we
pillow our ground early for late crop,
summer following as for wheat. Early
crop is set about 10th of April, second
crop the last of May and third crop goth
of June.
In setting we use peg to make the
hole and insert the plants to the first
leaves, pressing the dirt firmly to the
bottom of the roots with the peg. When
the plants have Strengthened up COM
mence cultivating the soil deeply, and
the more frequently the better, for the
first four weeks; never cultivate less than
once a week until beginning to head.
The early cabbages which cannot be
disposed of in cur home market are
shipped in crates, the late shipped in car
load Vack's Magazine.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.

In most cases the trees that line old
fence rows are nuisance, and the sooner
they are removed the better for all parties.
Winter is a good time to do this useful
work. At least cut the trees down,
though in many cases a still better way
is to grub up the roots, take up the
fence, and pillow the fence row two or
three years, even if ultimately a fence
row is still needed there.--Boston Guilt

HOW LONG SHALL THE COW GO DRY.


AS regards the period of time that the
mich COW should go dry before calving,
that depends upon the animal itself, and
the care taken of her. If she is from
line of ancestors that have been bred for
milk and fed for milk, and she has been
so kept as to stimulate the secretion of
milk to the highest point, it may be bet
ter than she should not go dry at all. If
she is bred from line of scanty mixers,
she will naturally go dry, or nearly dry,
for some months before calving, and it
will be almost a waste of grain to try and
change her from this tendency. But
with the ordinary good COW, the time
that she will remain in milk may be
heightened by judicious feeding and
care, and if this is done while young, 1t
will not only continue as a habit with
her, but she will transmit it in a stronger
degree to her offspring. With the
present opportunities for selling milk in
our manufacturing villages, and the
creameries for making butter, which en-
able one to do nearly as well in winter as
IN spring or fall, it will pay to keep the
COWS in milk as long as the milk is
sufficient to pay for the grain given
For this purpose feeds of wheat bran or
middlings are better than richer grains.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Keep all your pullets.
See that each fowl gets its share OF
| feed.
Pure bred males infuse new vigor in
focks.
Whenever you find her that don't
lay kill her.
1t rarely pays to keep hen after she
is three years old.
If you have low, wet land, reserve this
for ducks and geese.
Put in varieties enough to have straw
berries for six weeks.
Fruit not only gives a relish to the
meal, but health to the body.
-fattened and well-dressed poultry
always sell at the best prices.
Place pure clean water daily where
the fowls can help themselves.
Composing manure reduces bulk aud
saves in the amount of handling.
Where there is plenty of pasturage
turkeys can be raised with profit.
Barley fed alternately with wheat
makes good feed for laying hens.
When the yards will admit keep hens
of the same size and disposition to-
gether.
Animals are liable to colds the same
as men. See that they have suitable pro-
lection.
Prepare to breed as many chickens as
possible, as early as possible; they will

der or silage.
Cut hay, scalded and mixed with corn

There is nothing better than ground
oats for young colts, calves or pigs, if
judiciously fed.
It costs no more to feed and care for
flock of well-bred fowls than it does for

To be useful barnyard manure must
first decompose, either in the compost
heap or in the soil.
Select breeding stock first for health
and vigor; second, for early maturity
and easy fattening.
For growing colts, corn is too fatten-

Local Ontiou in Virginia.

Several recent elections In Vitgihls indl-
cate growth of sentiment against license to
sell liquor. In Pulaski City, one Of the rap
idly growing towns Of southwestern Virgin
Ia, after vigorous contest, the opponents OF
llcenae recently won by vote OF about two
to one. In Stanton the advocates OF license
won by chs narrow majority of 90 on the
largest vote ever cast In the oity, but this did
NOT discourage the opponents of license, who
went to work again and carried tho three
districts Of Augusta county Ia which local
option elections we're held last Saturday.
The aggregate npjorisy In these districts
against license was 577, the majority In
Beverly Manor district, which sdjolns staun-
ton, being ESQ out OF sotal vote OF 312.
These figures Indicate an overwhelming SEN
timent In Augusta county against the sale OF
liquor. This sentiment Is largely the out.
growth, doubtless, of the impression that to
the sale OF liquor Is due the decentralization
and increasing worthlessness of farm labor.
The same sentiment has caused the triumph
of prohibition 10 most of the counties In
Georgia, and 1t is also making great
Roadway In other Southern Ssatss.-Balo
