The Woodlawn Farmers Club met
at the residence of CORTLAND Iukens,

When the minutes of the last meeting
were read the allusion therein TO or

from the president and others in fur
Their conmendation of it Is pasture
grass-one Gifts strong points being lis
ability to stand drought.
Some further discussion being had in
regard to the corn huskcr. the question
was raised whether the fodder would
spoil after being cut up line and packed
away. While it was liable to heat
treated in this way it Was generally
thought that it would not be injured.
Several instances were MENTIONED
where both fodder and hay had Become
yery hot, but came out all rEH, and
were readily eaten by stock.
S. w. Mason spoke of the COM
mon practice in New Hampshire Of
packing away the corn fodder with
layers Of straw between, which would
absorb the sap in the stalks, the straw
being thereby more reiiShed by the
stock and would be al eaten up clean.
H. w. Pierson said his father had
sown Japan clover seed on clay bank,
where it had grown for two or three
wears and then died out.
John Ballenger stated that he bad
been advised not TO SOW any OF Il.
J. ". Roberts showed a sample Of
cotton-seed hulls. They were sud to
be worth more per ton as 4 feed than
clover hay. The cost is IS perton. lie
was experimenting with ii as feed ior
stock.
C. Lnkens asked the opinion ofmcm-
bers as to the value of wheat straw Tor
feed. A number OF instances were given
where it had been fed to both horses
and cattle with good results il couuec-
ton with grain. 1t was said TO make
horses look sleek and glossy. bur no one
seemed TO know from experience just
what the feeding value WAS compared
with other kinds OF long feed.

TIE FORTRESS MONROE SEWERAGE.
A hitch has occurred in establishing q
sewerage system on the government
reservation at Fort Monroe. Va, which
may require congressional legislation to
straighten out. The entire system, for
which plans have been prepared at the
War Department, will cost $75, 900. The
governments share Of this is about
$25, 600, the other $4,000 being distrib-
uted between the private hotels and
residences on the reservation. All the
private parties agreed to their assess
ments, and work was TO have begun this
month, when the hitch came. Cham
berlin's Hotel, one Of the largest in the
country, located at Fort Monroe, was
assessed $27, 0G0 as its share. Since
then il has been placed i'll the hands OF
a.receiver.
The other private parties are unwil-
ling to assume their proportionate share
of the $4,000 assessed against the
Chamberlin Hotel, and as the govern
ment's hands are tied, and as the work
cannot be done for less than the $15, 900,
it is probable that il will fall through
altogether for the preseut, unless Con-
gress advances the money and in effect
takes lien for $27 900 on the Chamber
lin Hotel property. The hotel, to in
crease the complication, is still unfin-
ished. although it is said $500, 900. large
ly supplied by New York capitalists,
has been expended upon it, and Of
course does not stand in need of sewer
facilities. The receivers hands, too,
are tied. and of course theS$27 900 as
sessment against the hotel cannot be
paid.
In the meantime, to maintain the
health of the reservation a sewerage
system is absolutely demanded.

ELopED WITH His FATHERS YOUNG
WIrE.-A dispatch from Norwich, Pa,
says:
Twenty years ago George tanning,
the ten-year-old son of John tanning of
Drinker Purchase, ran away from home
and was not heard from for five years,
when he wrote from a place in Oregon,
where he was working on farm. Five
years ago his mother died, leaving him
81 900, but he had left Oregon, and it
was only year ago that he was found
and the legacy paid him. Two weeks
ago the elder tanning married young
woman, the daughter of a neighboring
farmer. She was only 20 years old,
and tanning 20. Last week George
tanning came home for the first time
since he went away in 1872. He was
a dashing fellow, and his young step
mother fell in love with him, and he
with her. On Tuesday they eloped,
leaving joint letter saying that they
were going to Dakota.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS, in President
Harrisou's late message, of measures to
improve the purity of elections is, if
any thing, more ridiculous than those it
contained in favor of civil service re-
form. The idea of man, whose chief
agents at the recent election were
'.Chris" Magee, johnny Davenport,
sDave" Martin and "Letter-Writer'
Hackett, to say nothing of Garter and
Clarkson, being in favor of pure cleo
tions, is so grotesque that it must have
evoked at least a chucllle even from
such a d6ldrum as the man by whom it
was conceived.

THE IDEA of saying nothing of the
dead but good, may be good manners,
but it is certainly not good morals. But
for all that, many of the newspapers
that have denounced Mr.. Gould since
he died, have showered praises upon
dead men infinitely worse than Mr..
Gould, in every point of view. Mr..
Gould was the legitimate product of
Wall street, in which there are hun
dreds of worse, but less successful men.
He did not exploit his charity, but MI
merous instances of it are held in CRATE
full remembrance.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE facts that

their retention as government agents by
