A Cure for the Fellows.

Thomas Vincent, of Newark, n. j.,
who owns farms in the country. claims
to have effected a successful cure of the
ycllows, a statement of which is given
in late Rural New Yorker. The trees,
which were heavily loaded with fruit,
had been more or less affected with
this disease, and the wiry t.sigs and
bristly growth SO peculiarly character
istic of this malady are stated to be
a mass of the darkest, greenest.
Notwithstanding foliage, the fruit
showing no indications of yellows.
This result is ascribed by Mr.. Vincent
to very high manuring, to bone dust
and phosphates spread heavy enough
ito appall timid men," The disease he
considers the effect of starvation. A
single experiment of this kind. how
ever, needs repetition. as there are
many instances where the yellows
has attacked and destroyed trees
growing in rich ground. One of the
finest, highly-fertilized orchards we
have ever seen, and with rank growth,
was dying with this disease.-Country

WHITTIER.

The life of John @. Whittier was per-
petua benefactjon. Everything he wrote
and everything he did was for the benefit
of his fellow men. Born of Quaker par
entage he possessed all the gentleness and.
patience that characterize the believers in
that faith. But with it he had an intense
hatred of every form of oppression, and
some of his early writings in the anti-slav-
cry cause were in fiery denunciation of the
great wrong. Mr.. Whittier in his youth
was of feeble constitution, yet he lived to
a great age. The reason was that he took
care of himself. 1t is the abstemious liver
who reaches great age. 1t is not neces-
sary to starve ones self to do this but
moderation is the great law of nature. f.
you are dyspeptic or troubled with indiges-
ton take the Laxative Gum Drops, and
they will effect complete cure, and save,
youfrom many fit of sickness. They not
only regulate the stomach and the action,
of the bowels but they expell all waste
material, all undigested substances, that
hamper the free action of the digestive
organs. Get these of any dealer. The

How to Train Children.

Be very vigilant over thy child in the
April of his understanding, lest the
frosts of May nip his blossoms. While
he is tender twig, straighten him;
whilst he is new vessel, season him;
such as thou makest him, such COM
monty shalt thou find him. Let his
first lesson be obedience. and the sec
ond shall be what thou wilt. Give him
education in good letters, to the utmost
of thy ability and capacity. Season
his youth with the love of his Creator,
and make the fear of his God the be-
ginning of his knowledge. If he have
an active spirit, rather rectify than
curb it: but reckon idleness among the
chiefest faults. AS his judgment
ripens. observe his inclination and ten

The lessening volume of our agricul-
tural exports requires an explanation
from Mckinley. The August returns
show diminution in exports of bread
stuffs of $50, 900. as compared with
the same month last year. Moreover,
the price of wheat averaged IN August
of this year only "a cents a bushel, as
against 106 in August, 1891 Now, Nc
kinley has assured the farmers of the
west that their great sales and high
prices of last year We're directly due to
his benign methods of taxing money
out of the foreigners pockets and into
theirs. But his law is still in force,
and the question arises why it does not
continue to perform its beneficent func-
tions- We hope it will not be answered
that better harvests in Europe have
slackened the demand. for that would
seem to imply that the Mckinley bill
does not, as claimed for it, override all
natural laws. and would also call to
mind the fact that last year there was
an extraordinary European demand for
orr agricultural products, This would
have fallen ont to the profit of the
western farmer in any case.--N. Y

To keep the complexion and spirits
good, to preserve grace, strength and
agility of motion. there is no gymna-
SUM SO valuable, no exercise more
beneficent in result, than sweeping,
busting, making beds, washing dishes,
and the polishing of brass and silver.
One year of such muscular effort with
in doors, together with regular exer-
else in open air. will do more for a
woman's complexion than all the To-
tions and pomades that were ever in
vented. Perhaps the reason why house
work does SO much more for women
than games. is the fact that exercise

PECK HACKERS.
Republican Organs Trying to Conceal
the Truth.

Republican Organs Trying to Conceal
the Truth.
In a half-hearted way republican or
gans are defending Mr.. Peck and his
action in destroying the records of his
Office. The New York Press asserts
that IF Mr. Peck had allowed the mug
wump investigators full access to his
private memoranda from which his re-
port was complied his action would as
suredly not have resulted in the further
enlightenment of the public" The
Press says that the object of the mug
wumps was to conceal the facts and
the distortion of the truth.
Such arguments reveal the desperate
straits to which supporters of the fraud
of republican protection have been re-
duced. If the documents Mr.. Peck
feloniously destroyed had contained
anything that might have been twisted
to support the ridiculous conclusions
he drew from them, if they had
not contained indisputable proof
that he had lied UNANIMOUSLY regarding
the condition of laboring men in New
York state. Mr.. Peck would never have
resorted to the trick of burning public
property for purposes of cOncealment.
The committee called upon Mr.. Peck
for these documents. Even while pro-
testing that he had the documents he
knew they were being burned surrep-
titiously by his own order. Men who
have documents upon which they can
rely for sustaining their position do
not burn them. 1t has never been laid
at the door of men who honestly ex-
h1bited the basis of their arguments
and conclusions that they were guilty
of suppressing evidence. But this is
the charge of the New York Press
against committee seeking opportuni-
ty of proving from Commissioner Peck's
documents that his statements had
been garbled for Interior purposes.
Republican organs may seek to avoid
the consequences of the unlawful act
committed by their tool and agent, but
they will not convince intelligent read
ers that Peck's act was not clear con-
fession of his fraud. Nor will they
humbug anyone with the silly claim
that men seeking the burnt documents
were trying to conceal the truth

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THE Hubbard squash will keep well
during the winter if kept in a dry place
and covered with straw, to prevent
freezing.
BURN all rubbish, and keep the farm
surroundings clean, SO as not only to
lessen the liability Of disease, but also
to destroy the harborlng place for YER
min.
PEARS seldom ripen thoroughly on
the trees. Pick the pears off and place
them on a shelf in dark location,
and they will be greatly improved in
quality.
SMALL potatoes, which are unstable,
should not be wasted, as they are lux
urious to the hens and pigs. 1t will pay
to put them away for feeding to poul-
try alone.
The cellar should be thoroughly
cleaned. fumigated and whitewashed
before being used as a storehouse, both
as a protection to the articles and to
avoid disease.
MANURE that has been evenly spread
over the soil not only prevents loss of
moisture and retains that in the soil,
but causes the moisture lower down to
rise to the surface also.
SURPLUS water is always z damage and
should be removed by drainage. 1t is
better to remove this down through the
soil than to drain it off over the soil. 1t
makes farming easier and quicker, and
makes less of waste land.
DRY dirt should be stored in some
covered place for use as an absorbent
in the winter. One part of dry land
plaster and four parts of dry dirt, by
measure, will greatly aid in preventing
the loss of liquid manure.
EVERY day that my cattle do not gain
in flesh lose twice as much as that
gain would be worth. AS soon as the
pastures fail to yield enough food to
keep the animals growing rapidly other
food should be supplied. o.

The back of piano, which is now
generally exposed to the front of the
room, is an ugly object which must be
concealed by some method of drapery.
1t is to be regretted that manufacturers
do not finish off the backs of their up
right pianos in a manner which will
render them less unsightly objects.
Every lover of music knows that a
great deal OF the quality of the voice
is lost in singing against wall, and
for this reason it is very desirable that
the back of the piano should face the
open part of the room. A single dec
orative curtain strung on a rod is a
good arrangement. Where it is not de-
sirable to use curtain, the top of the
piano only may be draped and lounge
with a high back placed against it,
though this is rather an awkward way
of solving this problem, and some ar
rangement of curtain on a crane or
rod is much more desira ble.-N. Y.

twenty feet wide by twenty -four feet
long. The pens are each six feet square,
making the alley through the center
eight feet wide. giving plenty of room

these pens are on each side, and one
swill trough, eight feet long, answers
for two pens. Over each trough is

eight inches, is placed at either end. A
well and pump should be placed where
most convenient so that no delay will
occur when feeding time comes. There
is but little trouble to provide places
for grain and meal, but a bountiful
supply of water is quite as important
and often neglected. The cost of the
house, with lumber at twenty dollars
per thousand and shingles at three and
one-half dollars. is about one hundred
dollars. Several loads of sand or gravel
may be proftably dumped into the pig
