VERY LITTLE BETTING.

PArtisans and Judgment" Bet
tiers Laying Low.
Little betting is being done on the
outside of the convention, fact that is
commented upon as being in marked
contrast to the Republican gatherings
of eight and four years ago, when con-
siderable money was risked by the
friends of the various candidates.
Whether it is that the bears have coll
troll of the money market, or that the
delegates and visitors are holding their
cash in reserve for prolonged cOnven-
ton, or whether they regard the chances
of the two leading candidates as being
too evenly balanced to warrant risk
of their surplus capital, the fact remains
that the bets have been few and far be-
tween. The only one so far made
known today was of 81, 200 even, st.
Paul man taking the Harrison end. He
had several offers of $50 to $1,000, but
said that, while he would take even
money up to $1,000, he did not want any
odds

cut in a swamp between Woodbridge and

The North Dakota delegation fur
nished the sensation of the evening.
Up to 6 o'clock the delegation was
evenly divided between Blaine and
Harrison. Minneapolis was flooded
with arrivals OF people from North Da-
kota who came with the intention of
forcing the delegates to vote for Blaine.
They were partly successful in their
mission, their demonstration having the
effect of turning over one of the Harri-
son delegates and landing him in the
Blaine camp. He is E. J. Gleason, and
the importance of the change is due to
the fact that he is a member of the
committee on credentials.

the water lotus 1t consists of leaves
about the size of the head of pin, and
roots so fine as to escape notice except
under microscopic inspection. Where
it grows at all it covers the water, and
to the casual observer looks like a coat
ing of green scum. The flowers and seeds
are microscopic, so that its appearance
in any given locality is not readily ac-
counted for, but wherever it does APP
pear the water beneath is always fit to
drink. So marked Is this property that
families using the water from bayous
where the lotus is abundant are known
to have better general health than those
taking their drinking water from places
where the lotus is not found. 1t is

HOW TO KILL WEEDS.

inmate NOxious Plants.
Weed according to rule is the general
tone of bulletin No 10 of the Oregon
experiment station given to that sub
iect 1t requires as careful treatment
and study to kill out weed as it does to
grow common field crops. The bulle
tin to carry out this idea gives general
and specific rules for killing many OF
the more common field pests. There
should be cooperation first Of all. 1t is
hard work for farmer to keep his
fields free from weeds when his neigh
boris land is running over with them.
Plants living ono year can be de-
stroyed by keeping them moved or by
blowing under Removing all plants
from the soil before they go to seed
will prevent the seeds remaining in the
soil and terminating after long sea-
son. Plants living for more than a
year are hard to dispose OF, but can
usually be killed by keeping the leaves
cut close To cultivate in a dry time
and when plants are growing is very
injurious for weeds.
Cutting when in flower willkill many
weeds. Look for introduction of weeds
through the manure. Keep fields wen
occupied with crops, Buy seed of re-
liable firms and asoid Introducing
weeds, through the seed.F Good seeds
are smooth, Shiny, full and heavy,

A WAR EPISODE.
How a Single Command Turned the Tide
of Battle.


of Battle.
Among the many little events which
go to make up the history of the pri-
vate soldier in the civil war the follow
ing episode, which will be remembered
by every survivor of the old Corcoran
legion, is of rare interest: When Gen.
Grant took the command of the united
armies of the United States in 1864, he
made his headquarters with the Army
of the Potomac, and every available
man, regiment or brigade was at once
called to the front and set to work
The Corcoran legion had been sta
toned at Suffolk, Va. 1t had received
alight experience in battle at the Black
water, but Grant had a sterner work
for it's members to do, and in May, 1864,
they were ordered to the front and re-
ported promptly. They were assigned
to the Second Division of the Second
Corps Army of the Potomac, and their
first real baptism of fire under the he
role Hancock was at Spottsylvanla,
where, supported by CarrolPs brigade,
they made glorious though unsuccess-
full charge
At North Anna, on May "a, shortly
before dark, the Goth and roth New
York volunteers of the Corcoran
legion were advanced in line of battle
on the left. and soon engaged the
enemy. 1t became very hot, and shot
and shell flew about promiscuously
But the confederateline was the longer
so both TANKS were turned, and the
boys were gradually forced back.
At this juncture Col, Thomas A. Smyth,
then commanding CAROLS brigade
to which the Goth and roth New York
had been attached for the purpose of
this movement, and who had been for
the second time in the campaign wound
ed at Spottsylvania, May 10, turned to
Private Joseph w. Kay, of Company b,
10th n. Y. volunteers, and who was
serving as mounted orderly and said:
boy, ride for that fence and halt
those colors therew
No. sooner said than done, and the
eolors were halted. The boys of the
SlXty-nlnth-tor such 1t proved TO be
rallied around them, and in less time
than it takes to tell it they were back
again in the thicllest of the fight This
had the effect of steadying the :utirc
line, and produced a marked effect on
the fortunes of the day.
Such incidents as this were frequent
ly known to turn the tide of battle al
an opportune moment and thousands
of such incidents could be related
where the private soldier did a whole
mans and brave mans duty when oc'
casion required. Private Kay was
wounded and had horse shot un6el
him in one of the battles of the Wilder
ness, and at Cold Harbor he received
wounds from which he has ever since
| suffered. N Y. Press.

The Use of Potato Tons.

The tops of potatoes after the crop is
dug contain much plant-food, and as
they are mostly rotted down to dust in
fall and winter this plant-food is easily
available. They should not be taken
to the barnyard and composted with
the manure, as was once advised. They
rot readily enough without composing.
and mixing with manure only preserves
the spores of the disease, which may
otherwise be carried over for the in
jury of succeeding potato crops. Prob
ably the best use that can be made of
potato tops is to save them free from
weeds and use as mulch for strawber-
ry beds. Here they rot, cover the land
lightly while it needs covering and do
not have to be ralled out of the way in
spring, as straw often does when it has
been used as a winter mulch,

CHANGES IN Til.LAGE.
The Need of Radical Reform In Grow Ii
Far,,n rrana

Farm Crops.
1t is certainty that the future will
witness some radical changes ia the
methods of growing crops on the farm,
for already experiments have pointed
out the fact that the farmers ia this
country can improve on the systems
practiced at present, and not only is it
possible to open new markets, but
wider fields are before them. In the
old world circumstances compel the
farming classes to resort to every ex-
pedient in order to derive the Ian gest
amount from the least area of land,
and as this country becomes more pop
ulous, and the area of land therefore
proportionately restricted, the support
OF the consumers must be accompli she'd
by greater production Already an
eminent scientist has given good rea.
sons for the belief that but decade
will be necessary to witness tho sup
ply of wheat being sufficient for the
needs of America only, but the fulfill
ment of the prediction should not be a
cause for supposing that there will be a
lack of food, as a greater variety OF
crops will be grown, and larger pro,
duction of many other articles than
wheat will be secured.
In this country, in competitive con,
tests, over 200 bushels Of corn have
been grown on one acre of land, and as
many as LOCO bushels of potatoes have
been produced on experimental plots
both of which feats were accomplished
by judicious cultivation and the liberia
feeding of the soil with especial fertil
izers. If such crops could be grown by
all farmers, the productive capacity o!
this country would be more than quad
rupled: and yet it is possible to secure
such yields when the soil is brought tt
that degree of fertility to which al
soils can be brought, and which but re
quires the aid of intelligence to accom-
plish, Chemistry is the agent which i.
rapidly unfolding to the farmer the
true condition of the soil, and it viii
aid him to cultivate less land and Sc
cure larger crops.
The growing Of two plants where
only one was grown before is a con
summation sought by all progressiv,
farmers, The time will come whel
the farmer will not cease his efforts t
feed his crop by simply spreading ma
nure on the land where he plants hi
crop, but will continue to feed unit
maturity, and at the same time tn,
land will be taxed to its utmost to pro
duce plant on every square foot o
soil upon which some particular kind'
may be grown. 1t is true. that at pres
ent the farmer has not reached condi
ton so highly to be desired, but he i
aiming to improve, and as there. is NJ
limit to improvement, rapid progress
will result. The experiment station
are demonstrating every year tina
farming is. as yet but little more tha
primitive in certain respects, and tn
revelations made in these experiment
will sooner or later effect revolution
in agriculture. -Philadelphia Record.
