THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.

One OF the parlors is set apart for the
members of the press and is in charge Of
Colonel Tracey, well-known New York
newspaper writer. Returning to the
hall the stranger would be instantly
pointed out two of the conspicuous
Democrats of New York in the persons
of the Hon. Jimmy" Oliver, the idol of
Paradise Park, who fills the office of
sergeant-at-Arms, and the other the
Hon. Frank Duly, of Fort Hamilton,
who revels in the distinction of being
official messenger to Chairman Harrlty.
The approach to the stairway is guard
ed by big railing of brass, with spikes
along the top and little gates that shut
with click and snap. Just the same
sort OF an arrangement can be found Mt
Republican National Headquarters, and
the explanation givun is that the wire
partitions are to protect the leaders from
the army of clam chowder and summer
picnic politicians.
A broad, winding staircase leads up to
Chairman Harrity's apartments. Chair
man Harrity has a nice breezy room in
the froit OF the house, where he sits at n
desk In the southwest corner of the
room. In smaller room to the right
have been placed couple of dozen
chairs and table. This is Chairman
Harrity's council chamber.
large room in the rear is reserved
for the use OF Secretary Sheerin, and
alongside of this is the headquarters of
the Committee on Campaign Speakers,

Children Can Make These Baskets.


Basket making, which used to be
practiccd more or less in every village,
Is now rclc9atcd almost entirely to ma
chinery; and yet it is very easy, and
children even may become very expert
in its manipulation. Even the rudcst
and most primitive of hand made bas-
kets make pretty present If filled with
MOSES and growing ferns. At water.
ing place, this summer, clever woman
set some children ut work on baskets for
. charitable fair which was on the
carpet, and these baskets, filled in the
way already suggested, found ready
sale, and brought in quite nice little
sum. Shoots of willow were used in
this instance. These were cut, soakci
in water, and aftcrward peeled. Strong
pieces were laid across each other and
woven together to make the bottom, the
ends having been left sufficiently long to
turn up when the foundation was large
enough to form the uprights for the
sides. Thinner strips were then woven
IN aud out, thus forming thick wicker
work. The edges were formed by the
uprights or ribs being turned down and
woven IN. This is the rudest kind OF
basket; but every one knows what
dainty things are woven out of bark and
scented grasses. 1t is such pretty and
easy work that it would be a popular
handicraft for idle summer hours il once
adopted by the busy bees of society. II
an old basket Is taken apart and woven
together again it will give practical
knowledge of its construction which
would be better than any directions that
could be given.-New York Tribune.

A soILING EXPERIMENT.

At the Iowa station an experiment
vas made with six shorthorn COWS.
which lasted from June 20 to September
20. The object was to compare stall
feeding on green fodder with good blue.
grass pasture. During the first half of
the experiment lot one (three cows) was
barned and lot two was pastured, and
during the last half this was reversed. ;.
At all times each lot received a like
grain ration. The bluegrass pasture was
one OF the best in the State, with ample
shade and running water. The soiling
consisted at different times of green oats
and peas, oats and clover, or fodder,
corn and clover fed ad libitum. Owing
to the period of lactation, lot one in
creased in milk while in the stable, and
lost very fast rs soon as they were put
IN the pasture. Lot two had lost heav-
lily on pasturage and gained in milk as
soon rs they were put on green feed
The indications from this experiment
are; The average COW when kept in the
stable will eat about seventy-five pounds
oil green feed day with grain ration
added.
Cows fed on oats and peas or clover
and corn, fed green in the stable in
midsummer, will give more milk than
when feeding on bluegrass pasture.
A COW fed on green feed in n stable
darkened and ventilated will gain in
weight more than she will in a we'll
shaded pasture.
The cow responds as promptly to a
well-balanced ration of grain while eat
ing green feed as She does on dry feed.

Final Day Approaches When Its Las,
Tribe Shall Perish.
Tho earth has been born and it will
hlso die. II will come 10 an end either
through old age, when its vital clements
have been exhausted, or from the cX-
tlnction of the sun, upon whose rays ;ts
lie depends. 1t may also end accident
ally, from collision with some heaven
~ body encountered on its course. Ii
may die natural death by the slow
absorption of its vital clement, and, in
truth, it is probable that air and water
are both diminishing, for oceans and
the atmosphere seem formerly to have
been much more extensive than now.
Through the mist of the future ages the
thoughtful person may imagine the
earth growing cold in the sleep of death,
having been deprived of its atmosphere.
From the summit of mountains eternal
SHOWS will descend like shroud over
the great table lands and valleys, driv-
Ing before them life and civilization,
and covering forever the cities and
nations i'll their path. Life and human
activity will gradually be contracted
between the tropics; St. Petersburg,
London, Paris, Vienna, Constantinople,
and Rome will fall asleep in succession
under an eternal shroud. For many
centuries equatorial humanity will un-
dertake useless arctic expeditions in
search of Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux, and
Marseillcs. Finally, the day will come
when the last tribe, dying with hunger
and cold. shall lie down upon the shores
OF the only remaining sea under the
rays of PALE sun that henceforth, here
below, will only give light to moving
tomb revolving around body whose
light and heat are useless. Overcome
by cold, the last human family is

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Chopped clever in bags is one Of the
new feeds in market for poultry.
Don't oyertax the lien by making hei
hatch two clutches in succession.
Feed the chickens early. 1t is tho
birds nature to rise and eat early.
The best "run" for young chickens,
during July and August is in toe orchard.
Hens like milk, either sweet or sour,
and it contains material for egg produce
ton.
Exercise and air are necessary to the
COW, though it may reduce the flow Of
milk.
Let your sweet cream butter stand O.,
few days and it will fill the bill for sou,s
cream.
1t would seem that eighty-seven per
cent. OF water ill milk is enough witAsut
adding to it.
Two things are requisite in making:
good butter--a good butter COW and a,
good butter maker.
Attention to food and drink, c!eanli-
ness and comfort is doubly sure while
the hot weather continues.
Soaking corn twenty-four hours re-.
duces the work that has to be done in a
hogs stomach and enables him to put on,
flesh easier.
The Bordeaux mixture is not remedy
for the potato bug. If Paris green be,
mixed with it the death OF the bugs will
be certain.
When planting an orchard select the
highest good ground upon the farm, and
you will thus secure at least partial
exemption from.loss by frosts.
II apple trees must have "off years, ~
plant part of the proposed orchard this
year, and part next year, and so contrive
to have half in bearing each season.
The first 200 pounds is much the.
cheapest pork to grow, and it should be
made within eleven months from birth.
and within five months from beginning
of fattening.
1t was found at the Wisconsin station
that by feeding bones the strength of
the thigh bones could be doubled, and
that hardwood ashes nearly doubles the
strength of the bones.

or cut them out entirely.
Corncobs can be turned to better adj.
vantage than by being thrown on the.
manure pile. If they are ctarred tney
form valuable additions to the material,
which composes the bones.
A covered barnyard not only kecns.
manure from wasting, but by keeping it

The earliness of corn may be much
Increased by taking for seed the ears,
which ripen first, but unless care is OBJ
served in selecting none but large ears.
a d'mlnution OF size may result.
The only objection to the tomatoes.
which belong to the night-shadc variety
is that the vines have strong and very
pungent odor, and, what is worse. the.
fruit partaies of this odor more or less.
Corn is fattening food. There is no.
doubt of this. The only trouble is that
corn does not supply all the elements
which build up the animal structure. r.
may be we'll to feed corn entirely to hons.

1t is great mistake to give the sanac,
ration to growing animals.

POINT ABOUT TURKEYS.

The white Holland turkey is more
active and smaller in size than the
bronze turkey. They are excellent rs
layers, and in some respects moro hardy
than many of the bronze. They have as
yet not been as extensively bred by
breeders of poultry, hence are not as
popular rs the bronze. They are like
all turkeys; they like to wander off on
long Journeys, showing their former wild
disposition to be free. They seldom do
as well when confined Turkeys are
considered difficult 70 rear, yet when
you understand them it is really an easy
matter to keep them growing.

AN IMPROVED HORSE STALL.


The value OF a clean, dry stall for the
family horses cannot be overestimated
writes w. ". Farmer, and all horse
owners know the many disadvan tages
arising from horses standing upon plank
floors. The common earth floor piyes
the staoleman so much work to keep the
diRrse clean that it has long since been
condemned as too dirty for good horse.
Alter examining many stalls, have con-
structed one that gives entire satisfac-
ton In every way. Its merit consists
chiefly in ITS simplicity. In the
centre of the stall-a large box stall-I
dug pit eighteen inches in diameter
and three feet deep; into this 1 put cob
Die stones, the size Of horses foot,
until they reached the top; then placed
three large, fiat stones, which just filed
the top of the pit. A wagon load of
ground Limestone was spread around the
outer edge of the stall, and raked toward
the centre, giving 1t gentle slope in
this direction. Over this spread two
inches of yellow clay, well tamped. The
stall, when thus completed, has the APP
pearance of an oval dish, and carries all
the urine, from either horse or mare, to
the centre of the stall and into the pit,
where it gradually soaks away into the
ground. There is no opening in the
bottom of the pit, and, therefore, no bad
odor comes back into the stable, as often
occurs where drain pipe is used to
carry OIL the urine. Another advantage
in this stall is the shape, which more
nearly fits the horse while lying down,
and requires less straw or beddlDg.-
