Flower and Daniel Drew.
From the Nsic' fqrk Times. s2

From the Nstc HQrE IimeS 7~'
Dec. 26, 1859, Mr.. Flower, dainoeTatfc
candidate for goverIi6F OF New York, was
married to Sarah NJ. Woodruff, a daughter
of Norris NJ. Woodruff. one OF the substau-
tial citizens of Watertown. Ten years
later Keep, the railway magnate, who had
married Mrs. Flowers sister, sent for him.
Mr.. Keep was at that time one Of the few
millionaires in the country. He had been
president of the New York Central railroad
and treasurer of the Lake Shoreand Michi-
gan Southern road, and was at this time
president of the Chicago and North western
railway. Mr.. Flower found HIM on his
death bed. Mr.. Keep informed his young
brother-in-law that be desired him to be-
come trustee of his estate.
Mr.. Flowers financial abilities up to that
time had only been taxed in running his
little jewelry store in Watertown. Mr..
Keeps PROPOSE ion startled him for c mo-
ment, He WAVED to know something of
the character of the men with whom he
would come in contact He asked Mr..
Keep what sort of man was Daniel Drew.
us be honestm inquired Mr.. Flower.
Mr.. Keep closed his eyes and his lips for
ten minutes. Finally he opened his eyes,
and, looking at Flower, said: HE is as
honest man as there is in the state of
New York. but for fear somebody else will
cheat him he always begins first"

Charc pal Dust as Manure.

Charcoal dust consists almost wholly of
carbon, with a very small quantity of min
eral matter, which is the ash of the wood.
1t is not directly of any value. being in
soluble in water, but that it has some in
direct value is Indicated by the dark green
color of the heritage and foliage and deep
oolors of flowers on soil to which it has
been applied. Charcoal has the property of
absorbing and holding gases in its pores
very freely. 1t is very porous, the surface
of all the pores of cubic inch of charcoal
covering, according to Liebig. total sur
face of 200 square feet This is due TO the
fact that its substance is made up of the
exceedingly thin walls of the cells of the
tissue of wood, leaving an incalculable num-
Der, almost, of empty spaces. In these it is
able to condense ninety times its bulk of
ammonia, and its effect on vegetation may
no doubt be thus accounted for, by its
storing up ammonia that may be produced
in the soil by the decomposition Of organic
matter II is thus an excellent deodorizer
and antiseptic, and is very useful in COM
posts, especially such as may be made Of
house refuse for use in a garden.

Hog Food.

The cheapest hog food we can produce is
clover, but the best single food is corn. In
the combination of these two foods lie the
best results. says the Wisconsin Farmer.
Some may say this necessitates exclusive
summer feeding Not necessarily; clover
hay and clover ensilage form part of
ration for hogs in many portions of the
state in winter, and give the best satisfac-
ton, especially where fed to mature stock
kept for breeding purposes. Some parties
| report that they have kept brood sows on
good clover hay, with two pounds Of corn
meal per day in addition, the latter fed
without preparation of any kind. While
this style of feeding is practiced quite ex-
tensively in the eastern part Of the state
and by the best farmers, | cannot speak of
it from experience, but consider it worthy
of trial But i can speak from expert
ence in feeding grain on clover pasture,
and prefer corn and can honestly say it
is one Of the best, if not the very best, way
to produce pork at low cost, and it is
somewhat strange so few farmers avail
themselves of its advantages. At present
prices pork cannot be probably produced
on an all grain ration. and yet it is equally
true it cannot be produced on all grass
ration. But the person who has never
tried feeding limited amount of grain to
thrifty hogs on good clover pasture
would b. surprised at the results. The
practice of many feeders of feeding milk to
hogs on grass in the absence of grain
ration is not recommended. While young
pigs do not derive much benefit from pa,-
tares except through the exercise and con-
tact with the soil, when the weather is suit
able it is the safest place to keep them. as
old pens and their unhealthy surroundings
and bad atmosphere are particularly in
furious Winter feeding should be avoided
as much as possible, especially the practice
OF keeping what are termed store hogs,
when not kept for breeding purposes.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1891.
The Next Meeting of the Commissioners.

The Next Meeting of the Commissioners.
The county commissioners will
meet the 18th inst to finish up the
business Of the adjourned meeting
and transact whatever business
that may come up in the mean
time.
Approval of bonds for saloon H.
tense will be in order, and all who
wish to continue in business should
see that they have the required
bond in readiness. The road lead
ing to Bonner's Ferry is in bad con-
dition owing to this section of the
district being neglected by the SUI
pervisor, who can't be censured
personally, as his district is too
large for one man to give it the at
tention required. A petition was
presented to the board of commits
sloners at the last meeting which,
if acted upon in the proper spirit,
we would now have a road that
would be credit to this section of
the county. 1t looks strange that
the commissioners Of the southern
part of the county should use such
a dictatorial hand in rejecting pc
titions that are for the best inter
est of the county.
The same old story. They know
more than the citizens who live in
the vicinity where roads need re-
pairing. This matter should be
reconsidered at the next meeting
and we trust the commissioners of
the southern part of the county
will give the commissioner of this
district some consideration for his
knowledge Of the affairs of this part
of the county, especially the road
question,

A Town of Many Names.

The town located at the head of
deep water navigation ON the Koo-
tenai river is overburdened with
names. Within a radius of a mile
we have Eaton, Eatonville, Fry and
Bohn6r's Ferry, The name of the
postoffice is Fry. The town is
known to the outside world gener-
ally as Bonner's Ferry. And the
addition containing the most houses
IS Eaton, or Eatonville. This sur
plus Of names is rather unfortu-
nate. People on the outside get
the idea this these are rival towns
located a few miles from each other
cutting and slashing for the SUI
premacy, when the truth is they
Are practically one, with the bust
ness houses somewhat scattered, and
the business men wide awake, ener-
getic people, working together with
perfect COED feeling and harmony.
What the people up there ought to
do is to "get together" agree on a
name and incorporate the town.
This would enable them to build
their city-for q city it is destined
to be-on systematic basis, and it
would give them many other adj
vantasss that will readily occur to
any one Slipping to think over the
matter.

valley towns, particularly in Cross
port The $500 license does not
seem to bother them much, but to
give a bond of a thousand dollars
to comply with the requirements of
the law is where the rub comes in.
1t is very difficult to find qualified
bondsmen, The bond requires at
least two sureties, who are house
holders or freeholders, in the sum
of $4,000 each.
