How to Vote.

The general indications are, that the
republican party will win in the coming
election, in the nation, the state and the
county, but there is one thing absolute
ly necessary in order to make success
certain and that is that every republican
shall vote on Tuesday, November 8,
and vote only the republican ticket.
This is the only way to win. There are
no votes to fool away on sentiment.
Politics is business, and business of the
most important kind. With four years
of an administration, unparalleled for
clean cut vigor and craftsmanship, an
administration that has vigorously nd
unhesitatingly taken hold of the gravest
political problems, both foreign and
domestic, and has brought the United
States out of them all with flying colors
and added respect, an administration
under whose salutary influence our
country has made strides forward that
ast0nish all civilized nations, there is
not a voter but what should feel addi-
tional pride in The fact that he is an
American citizen and has it in his
power to cast ballot in favor of con-
tinuing the present era of prosperity.
There should be no nonsense about vot.
ing at any time, much less when vast
interests are at stake.

For one hundred years the United
States has carried out in greater or
less measure, a business policy unlike
that of other great countries. There
have always been earnest discussions as
to the advantages arising under that
policy. For once in the history Of the
nation the American people now have
it in their power TO give that policy a
fair and satisfactory trial The tariff

advocated by the republican party

The principal objection TO mixing different
varieties Of grass seed in sowing is
that few OF them rpen at the same time and
Cor hay it will usually be necessary to cut
come too early, or portion too late, TO make
the best quality Of hay.
Clover and orchard grass ripen at about the
same time. Timothy and red top ripen later.
Mammoth clover rpenS little later than red.
and for this reason is better to mix with
timothy than the common red. One advantage
with sowing some grass with the clover is
that the grass, in measure at least, keeps the
the clover from hedging. Many consider that
10y sowing clover with timothy it helps to pro-
tect the grass plants from freezing out during
the winter, and IN many localities this is quite
an item.
some consider it best to SOW the grass seed
frst, and alter they have terminated then
sow the clover. as the clover terminates in a
shorter time and Will make such q growth as

and orchard grass together, mammoth clover
ana timothy; SOW red top alone. Timothy
makes the very best all-round hay. Clover IS
best for sheep and milch COWS. Red top makes
good hay, but Is generally considered inferior
% umOthy orred top. For pasture, goOd va
riety Is essential, in order 20 secure good
supply all through the season, but for mea-
dows II Is quite important TO have ripen as
nearly all al the same time as possible. But
II clover hay is wanted, put in but small
quantity OF timothy or orchard grass. II
timothy is preferred. add but a small quantity
OF clover, as better quality Of hay can be Sc
cured than If more evenly divided. For feed
ing on the farm, as a rule, the better plan, all
things considered, is to mix the seed al least
20 an extent needed TO secure the best results.

one great food value OF the potato lies in
the fact that il can be cooked IN numberless
different WAYS. while, used in moderation, 1t
is a remarkably healthful source Of the car
b0hydrates needed for iuman food. Being
classed as a luxury, the potato offers nne
chance for those who are willing 10 grow
crops for their quality. Potatoes Of good
size and free from scab or other blcmisn, and
which cook out dry and mealy, are products
that any man can afford TO build reputa-
tiOn on. Ii viii pay any farmer TO study out

The best soil for potatoes is warm, mellow
and porous. one that Is easily worked aud
easily drained. Ii is evident that plant
which. like the potato, forms its product be-
low ground mist have plenty space and air
in the soil. The potato, as it grows, must
push aside the earth IN order 10 develop. ii
is therefore easy TO see how necessary II IS
that the soil should be open and mellow. All
have noticed how in hard, still clay. or
where the hills or trenches contain many
stones. the potatoes are often shapeless or
stunted because they have not space enough
to grow in. While the potato is a 'water

SCANDINAVIAN IMMIGRATION.
A Communication from Swedish Consul
Emil Lindburg.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, May 90, go.
To the Editor:
The matter of locating in different parts
| of the country the vast number of Euro
pean immigrants now disembarking at
| Norfolk requires thoughtful considera-
ton. 1t is receiving deserved attention
| from the federal government. Ellis island,
| a few miles from the city Of Norfolk, down
the bay, has at large expense been made
the landing place. Great scrutiny is be-
ing exercised by the officials in charge OF
every person coming to the country. 1au-
pers and criminals are excluded. Those
who are, old and decrepit and poor, and
likely to become a charge upon the peo-
pie for support, are returned to Europe
on the same vessels they came in. 1t is
| a c~ommendable course not 10 allow this
| country to become flooded with the crimi-
nal and pauper classes from Europe. Re
stricted immigration receives, as it de-
serves, public approval.
The Scandinavian immigrants are
neither paupers nor criminals. They are
worthy men and women with their fami-
lies Of children, having on an average to
each family from $500 to $4,000 with
which to begin life in the new country.
| They are industrious, honest and intelli-
gent. They will generally purchase small
farms, from eighty to one hundred acres
of land, and will till the same with patient
care.
Now, then, this is the question Are
these honest workers wanted in the
South? OF course the Northwest has
millions of ~unoccupied lands alluring to
these immigrants. The great states of the
Northwest have been enriched by the
presence of hosts of hard-wOrking Scan
dinavians. VIII sections of the South
invite this class of immigrants to pur-
chase lands and build up homes? I am
engaged in directing these countrymen to
western lands and homes. | could as well
direct them to southern lands and homes.
If the people of any neighborhood of the
the South would secure such accessions
to their population, they must unitedly
put forth efforts to obtain the result. |
shall be pleased to communicate with any
person interested in this object.

It STOPPED the Painting.

A story of ''fainting beauties" is told
in the memoirs of the Rev. Julian Young,
subchaplain of Hampton Court palace.
One very hot Sunday a young lady, not
a resident of the palace, but living in
the vicinity, tainted in the chapel dur
ing the service. Sir Horace Seymour,
a widower, a Waterloo hero, of COM
manding presence and strikingly good
looks, raised the PROSTATE lady in his
arms, carried her to his apartments, de-
posted her on a sofa, left her to the
charge of his housekeeper and returned
to his seat. Strange to say, on the fol-
lowing Sundays a young lady, each
time a different one, tainted; and on
each occasion the anne gallant knight
performed the same kind office for the
sufferer and hen returned to his post.
On the last Of these three fainting
Sundays Lady Seymour, the aunt of Sir
Horace, said to the chaplain after serv-
ice: 81 say, Mr.. Young, this fashion of
fainting will degenerate into an cpl
demic if it is not put a stop to. With
your permission, I will affix before next
Sunday this notice in the cloister, at the
door of entrance: Whereas, a tendency
to faint is becoming a prevalent infrm-
ity among young ladies f%requenting this
chapel, notice is hereby given that, for
the future, ladies so affected will not he
carried out by Sir Horace Seymour, but
by Branscombe, the dustman.'" This
warning produced the desired effect,
and the plague of fainting beauties was
Staid.
