The Recent NunicipaI Election.

With all the political keennesa at
sribaied TO Governor Burleigh we doub.
II be will find the methods attributed 70
him and hiz followers at the election At
Augusta Monday to be good politics.
The claim la made that Mr.. Eurielgn's
supporters TO certain extent bolted the
ward nominations Of the Augusta Re
p1blieans for the reason that such NOM
inees were not Burieigh men. The bolt
ing method in politics never was e sue
eess.-Au5urn Gazette.
The JOURNAL understands that certain
men, claiming to be Republicans. are
actively engaged in an effort to give eur
rency TO rot like the above. The plain
fact IL that when the eaueuses were over,
both the Marley and Burieigh men lined
up and gave the ticket hearty sup
port The reanlt OF the election
proves this beyond all chance OF
controversy. Had such not been the
case the Republicans would not have
made a very material gain In their
total vote and would not have elected
their ticket by handsome Increase in
das iority over that Of last year. Ward
seven has been carried by the Democrats
for the last two years. Five OF the
ak remaining wards showed an
Increase in the Republican majority
over last year. Surely this does not IN
dictate that there was any "bolting
either on the part Of the Governor 3
friends or the friends Of Mr.. Nancy In
ward five there was falling of OF - in
he Republican majority over that OF last
ear. This Is Mr. Manley's ward and
there ia no reason to believe that he and
his friends did not do everything In
their power for the success Of the ticket
70 charge anything different would be
to do a rank Injustice to some strong.
earnest Republican workers Yet there is
quite az much reason 10 do so as to charge
that Governor BurIeigh and his friends
did not give ;he ticket their most hearty
support because certain parties DID some
scratching The plain fact ia that the
ticket vas not scratched az much as II
was year ago The scratching was
purely personal expression OF the feel
ings and pre- adices Of Individual voters
and was by no means confined either
to the supporters of Governor Barleigh
or Mr.. Manley. As we have said this
scratching was less than that of last
year. IL was distributed through all the
wards and was by no means az exten-
sive az certain parties have endeavored
to create the impression that it was
this, toe, in rank in ustice to Mayor Chase,
who was re elected by such handsome
increase OF majority as amounted
to very catering endorsement
OF his administration Of municipal affairs
at the hands of his fellow citizens. Both
the friends Of Governor Burleigh and
Mr. Manley lined up together at the
polls, fought good fight, and won a
decisive victory. ANY blautent individ-
ua who goes about endeavoring to con-
vey contrary impression, may be writ
ten down as falsifier intent upon the
manufacture of Democratic capital.

Barns.

1t is noticeable that some Eastern PEG
pie who read Western papers and reports
get some ideas about the care of stock
and the construction of barns that are
not strictly applicable to this section.
Covered barnyards and basement stables
are Improvements on more primitive
methods. but are away behind the de
mands Of New England farmers ] he
barnyard need not be the site of the ma
nure pile nor should the basement bs
the home of the stock unless it is dry
and filled with box stalls, so the ami
mails can preserve the manure by tramp
ing it all winter and be kept dry by bed
ding This method could and should be
adopted in more cases than it is espec-
Tally with colts and young cattle, but the
cows and oxen and horses will be kept
tied In stalls and there is no better way
to save the manure than to use plenty of
absorbents and dump the whole into .
cellar. Ii it is not convenient to have
pigs under the horse stalls the horse
manure should be spread behind the
cattle to absorb the liquid this will pre-
vent it heating as much as it would il
put in pile by itself There are many
cases where men build over barns and
neglect to put in cellar on account of
the seemingly great expense; when a
little knowledge of the bushes
would enable them to add very
much to the value Of their arrangements
There Is more fall TO almost any slope
than person who is not in the habit of
building would suppose, and a building
set few feet above the ground look
unreasonably high before the platforms
or filling are put in, a knowledge OF
these facts together would show good
location for harms with cellars in many
places where they are now thought to
be out of the question Before making
any changes in the farm buildings the
possibilities of the location should all he
considered; for we cannot carry on the
business successfully with the liqaid
manure running to waste through the
cracks and the solids leached by rains.
The farmers barn should be a modern
institution some Of the old things have
become fashionable again Ivy waiting
(the big ehimneys for instance, hut it is
to be hoped that the old barns, lighted
and ventilated by the same cracks and
standing on rows Of loose rock through
which cats md hens can crawl away 70
die in the musty chat, will pass away
never to be rebuilt on the same plan. II
is more than possible that many modern
barns are built with more regard for
comfort than health and without prop
er understanding Of the amount OF air
used or the amount Of heat thrown of BY
the animals, and the subject of properly
adjusting the balance between health
and comfort is one that demands much
study.

The Start for Flowers.


Heiotrope, primrose, abutilon and
other seeds OF this kind sown now will
produce fine lowering plants for sum
mer. A box 3 inches deep, Is inches
long and wide is the most convenient
size. Use good garden soil with little
sand; slit several times to make light
and fine; fill the boxes AMI jar them to
settle the soil q little then place the seeds
separately, about half an inch apart
sift a little soil over and press lightly with
board. The boxes may be covered with
glass, or with a cloth which must be
kept moist and taken OIL soon as the
plants appear; or watering pot that
throws fine spray NAV be used Set
boxes in a warm place; | have mine on
a shelf back OF the stove and quite lit
tie above it, so as to get as much bottom
heat as possible When the little plants
appear what pleasure to watch the
development day by day give all the
air that is safe, or they will be
weak and spindling Put the boxes
outdoors in the sun during the
middle of the day soon as weather be
comes warm enough. Cuttings started
now will be ready for bedding out when
weather permits. Fuchias, gera NUNS,
roses carnations and ahutilons are easily
rooted in sand. Care must be taken when
transplanting not to disturb the tiny
roots.
seed of scarlet saI via may be planted
in pots or boxes in the house during
March. When the weather gets warm
the fine young plants may be trans ferIed
to the flower bed and will BE- far superior
to those offered for sale by florists. The
foliage will he large, fresh and green,
the lower trusses magnificent, and a
few plant. will make fine display. Sow
pansy SEED now, for bright, companion
able flowers next summer. Pass some
rich earth through a soil sitter to have ii
free from Jumps. Put plenty Of char.
coal in the box for drainage. Pansy
seeds are so fat and healthy looking,
each one is almost certain to grow,so do
not plant too close; drop regularly in
rows across the box. Press the earth
over them, sprinkle and cover with glass.
In short time the little plants will ap
pear, can soon be transferred to larger
boxes, and, when weather permits, be
set in their abiding home. From the
time the packets of seed are opened I'M
til the last bloom has disappeared, those
little floral friends will be comfort and
delight. "pausies are for thoughts"

The lumbermen are rejoicing over this
weather. Every day of 1t means dollars
aud cents for them. for the logs are being
rapidly hsuled from the woods to the
landings. This has indeed been queer

Now if they can have favorable spring
for driving the logs TO the market they
will rejoice twice in the season. There

it does not at all follow that the spring

The primaries are the places where
citizens should meet to give expression
to their individual opinions. it is there
that the voter exercises his greatest
power. 1t is well for him to be there
and express himself according to his con
victlons. OF course he will be brought
in contact with those who diiler from
him, but this Is the case with most assem-
blaSes OF American citizens. Complete
uninimity OF sentiment can rarely be
found at such meetings, and it is we'll,
perhaps for Republican Institutions that
such is the case. 1t is to the credit of
Augusta Republicans that they have
shown to the world their ability to con-
test vigorously in their primaries and
still line up at the polls and elect their
ticket by an increased majority.
