FARM NOTES.

Cherry trees grow fast and live gen.
orally to an old age and offer good
shelter from the sun as the foliage is
very dense.
A little pains taken to provide good
walks will materially lessen the trouble
of cleaning the feet before going in.

tainly requires more skill.
With poultry, as with other stock on
the farm, good, comfortable quarters &C
a long ways towards reducing the feed
necessary to keep thrifty.
II is not a good plan to attempt TO
contne fattening turkeys for any con-
siderable time; let them run until about
ten days before marketing.
During the winter as manure aceu.
mulates haul out and scatter on the
fields where 1t is wanted; the per cent.
of waste from washing will be very
small
BY planting catalpa trees and giving
them good care supply of posts can be
secured in few years, as they make
very rapid growth and are hard TO excel
for posts.
When the weather is damp, especially,
keeping the floors Of the poultry quar-
ters literally sprinlsled with air-slaclted
lime will aid in preventing roup from
making start.
In planting a peach orchard care
should be taken to give it every possible
advantage; the soil should be OF warm.
quick nature and be well prepared in
good condition.
After the ducks begin TO lay it is safe
to count upon an egg every twenty-four
hours, but as they do not lay in nests,
the safest plan is TO confnc them every
night or many of the eggs will be lost.
The object in pruning should be to
thin the twigs and branches SO that the
sun can shine through, to prevent the
branches from rubbing each other and
cut out dead or diseased wood and Sc
cure for the tree comely appearance.
The value Of corn wasted in poorly
constructed cribs every year far exceeds
the expense Of rat proof cribs. Clean,
bright corn always commands a good
price. Many farmers meet great losses
every year by not having good grana-
ries, to say nothing Of the amount saved
by keeping wheat and oats for better
prices"
IL is reckless gambler who will stake
his all on single throw of dice or on
single card. II is about as hazardous
for farmer TO risk all on single crop.
Diversified agriculture is the safest in
the long run Wheat, corn and oats are
staple products, and are always salable
on the market at some price There
fore, they may or should form part Of
every years crop

STOCK ITEMS.

Cattle when watered twice day viii
drink more water than if only watered
once every day.
II is i'm portant in the management Of
calves to get them independent of milk
as soon as possible
Even with cattle there is difference
between food for growth and that for
fattening for market
Unless warm shelter is provided it
costs less to put fall pig on the mar
ket than one narrowed in the spring.
1t is as important now as in the sum
mer to see that the hogs have good
supply Of pure, fresh water every day
Feeding sheep shelled corn on floor
literally covered with air-slacked lime
is recommended as cure for grub in
the head.
A sheep that has yellow gum on his
wool can't stand anything, but one
that has white oil will come through
all right
If sheep are to keep in a good condi-
ton they must have food that, when
digested, will produce animal heat, fat
and muscle.
GENERALLY II will be best to keep the
calves in separate lot from the other
stock and especially away from the
cows and steers
1t is a good plan to feed the calves
light feed of oats daily; moistening
them with milk will help to induce
them TO eat them.
When fed in graded lots the hogs do
better and make more satisfactory
gains as every animal is on an equality
with his neighborS
A warm shelter will lessen the grain
necessary to keep thrifty and this in
time will lessen the cost This is one
advantage in providing it.
From now on until spring the major
ity of the cattle will have to depend al
most entirely upon dry feed and good
care must be taken to keep in good
condition.
No more sheep should be kept in any
room than can be fed comfortably in
racks in the same room and also have
space to exercise or lie down, as they
may prefer.
The best sheep is the one that has
short legs and good body, OF good
length and properly shaped, square on
the shoulders, round rib good straight
back, well rounded hams aud heavy
brisket
One advantage in feeding unthreshed
oats is that they supply grain and
roughness and can nearly always be
fed to growing cattle to a good advan-
tage especially in making up good
variety.
Usually the COW is sheltered and fed
with a view Of increasing the flow OF
milk and keeping it regular Would it
not be a good plan to give the same
treatment to the brood sow for the
same purpose.

COUNTED OUT.
-Four PoPulist Congressman Were Counted
Out In Virginia.

The Richmond VA Sun CHARGES the
democrats of that state with bare-faced
and high-handed roguery in doctoring
up election returns 1t says:
Election returns have been exceed.
lngly difficult to get and many districts
are notfully reported yet. The cooking
process necessarily takes time, and the
democrats who are in absolute control
OF the machinery will not dish up the
returns until they are done to suit their
own rapacious maw."
That God made the country and man
made the town is strikingly illustrated
by the election returns in Virginia. In
the counties the rascals did not get in
so much Of their work and if it had not
been for the dark ways of the ring man
ayers in the towns, four members Of
congress would have been returned on
the peoples party ticket
There is no doubt at all that with a
fair count Goode is elected in the fourth.
Jones in the fifth, Cobbs in the sixth,
and Robertson in the tenth. They have
majority of all the votes cast. but the
democrats have deliberately thrown out
the returns of their own judges in pre-
clnct after precinct until the maiorities
are fixed to suit themselves.
BE it remembered that the democrats
conducted the election in every in
stance, and wherever irregularities are
claimed they were committed by demo-
Gratis, and the other side should not be
made to suffer for them.
The detestable frauds committed in
these districts rise to heaven as sinking
abomination, and every honest Virgin
ian will hang his head in shame and
unutterable disgrace until these foul
blotS on the fair escutcheon OF his state
are wiped ont.
Keep it before the people and let it
not be forgotten, that the peoples par
ty in Virginia elected four members of
congress, and that these four elected
men were defrauded out of their seats
by ballot-box stealing and false count.

breeders that the last eggs of hens

first, nor are the chickens so strong and

good care they may be kept up they
should never be used for breeding. st.

ALlvING FENCE.-APPLET TREES AS POSTS.
trees were planted too closely. being
only ten feet apart; while one rod
would have been better, that being
near enough for the fence, and the
large distance would insure greater
longevity and productiveness TO the
trees. The variety of apple for this
purpose should be chosen from among
the most hardy no less than for the
value of its fruit, and those of medium
size in growth are preferred. For
Michigan the Northern Spy seems well
suited to this use, being of free growth.

short-lived. 1t is usually advisable not
to build over forty rods of this fence at
stretch, and itmay happen, where the
ground Is uneven, that half that dis
lance, or less, is best. However. this
fence Of nearly eighty rods, being on
nearly level ground, was all put up in
one stretch of the wires. the shorten
ing of which, by putting in the pickets,
amounted in the whole distance, as
shown by the distance the stone load
was drawn, to over one rod. The fence
was attached to the apple trees in the
same manner as to the naples. Wheth-
er or not it is the best method is yet to
be seen. Possibly the spiking to the
trees may injure them, in which case
some other method must be devised.

Winter Quarter. for Swine.

The farmer who looks after the com.
fort of his stock should now direct his
attention to the winter quarters for his
swine. As rule, no class of live stock
have so little attention given to their
surroundings and no other stock on
the farm shows a greater appreciation
OF comfortable quarters Any place or
anything is good enough for the hogs
is the prevailing idea among farmers.
Hogs are invariably kept for the profit
there is in them The money returns
are what a farmer sees when he buys
or breeds swine. This being true there
are two incentives for making the pig.

work may be of much value 10 you

priest into the Roman Catholic Church.
Herein he broke away from his long
time cOlabnrer-Dr. Pussy. The latter in
sisted on reform within the church, and
even after he had been prohibited from
preaching. maintained his connection with
the Anglican priesthood. In the disputes
of that day on auricular confession, the
marriage laws, the rites of the church. and
the other topics treated in essays and re-
views, Pusey and Manning were like
minded; but the former insisted on drawing
the church 20 where he stood, while the
latter, despairing of so vast an enterprise,
went over TO the faith which his conscience
approved.
From the time he became a Cardinal TO
the day of his death he took a leading part
in secular affairs, and never shrank from
expressing his opinions on the issues of the
day. He played in England the part which
has been so well played in France by Mon
Seigneur DupanlOup. And while the great
body If English PrOtestTntS at first received
his advice with distruSt, he lived to break
down their prejudces; so that at the time
of his death no mans voice was more
potent in England, among Professionals as
we'll as Catholics than that of the Romlsh
Cardinal. He owed his power to the respect
inspired by his sterling honesty, his lofty
intelligence, his pure life, and his delicate
Sensibilities; he was not only profound
thinker and a cOgent writer. but likewise
gentleman in the truest sense Of the term.
He was alS0-and nothing endeared him so
much TO the English as this-an Englishman
to the backbone; in him the patriot pre-
dominated. He WAS, in truth, an all-round
great man. and England will have trouble
in filing his place.

RAILROAD SUGGESTIONS.

Some surprise is expressed at the desire
which Is manifested in various directions
to construct competing railroads terminal
ing in this city, yet why should there be?
There is really no question but other COM
panles cOuld give bonds enough and sell
them readily to cover the cost of construct
ing new roads. California is a large State,
and it has prospects il the near future al
most beyond imagination, and the coast
must have more railroads. 1t requires but a
small outlay 10 construct a railroad on level
land, and there are passes through the
mountains preferable to that by way Of
Truck6e. Iron is cheap, hence almost any
enterpTsing company can sell bonds enough
to build a road. Again. there are two or
three routes where a railroad might be con-
slructed where settlers would at once locate
and build up a business. The Southern
Pacific, on the contrary, traverses a country
much Of which furnishes little or no bust
ness. Our citizens have to pay the expense
Of running trains through hundreds OF miles
Of desert, and also for keeping up line Of
steamers iu connection herewith, which IS
really Of no particular benefit to this coast.
Fhe Southern Pacific Railroad, as We have
heretofore suggested, really belongs to the
General Government, and it has It's hablta-
ton in Kentucky in order to avoid taxation.
Our citizens must pay for keeping the
Southern Pacific elephant which causes an
excessive tax TO be laid on all our products
which are sent East even via the Cent? al
Pacific Railroad. Oar troubles at the pres
eut time arise from having to help heap up
great wealth for a few individuals who are
already too rich for the good of the state
and in addition to support horde Of politi-
clans and barnacles. The load is so great
in tact that the people refuse to carry it.
They DO not see why they should be taxed in
ordiuately by a railroad, which Of right
should be ia the hands Of the people. Our
oppresSors, as all know, refuse even to pay
a lair quota Of taxes. They do not pay the
interest on the money furnished by the
Government TO build the railroad, and to
cap all they ask the people to virtually do
nate 10 them the money which was loaned
TO them 10 build the road, Would it nos be
better if there is to be donation by the
Government to anybody to make it directly
