A Blizzard.

An Englishman, while working on
a Dakota Farm, sat down to dinner one
day in winter Suddenly the sun was
obscured, and the temperature in the
room fell several degrees. "she's herep p

asked the workman, "a blizzard" an-
swsyed the farmer. The Englishman
weus to- the window and looked out.
There vas dreary wailing sound, and
it was dark as midnight. The snow, in
stead of falling, was driven along the
ground by 8 hurricane. 1t was like
powdered glass and froze fast to every
thing it touched. An old breaking
.plow had been lefs just outside the
house. 'It must be resaoved," said the
farmer, "or it will raise 8 snowdrift that
rAay bury the house." The Englishman
started to run ont and move it, "Stop

Then he tied long line to his waist
and bade him draw on thick gloves. "If
you go out and catch hold of the iron
works on the plow with bare hands your
flesh will be taken off as if you had laid
hold OF red.hot iron," said the farmer.
sNow line out, throw the plow round
the corner of the house, and then follow
the line back to the house. If you can't
find the plow come back at once" The
Englishman opened the doos, bolted to
where he thought the plow was, CROPPED
about for minute or two, and rushed
back to the house. The hair that shone
under the rim of his fur cap VAS full Of

Planting Onions In the Fall.

If properly mulched before the weather
gets too cold onions can be planted in the
fall. One of the principal advantages
in planting in the fall is that the work is
done, the seeds or sets have germinated,
and when the season opens in the spring
they are ready to start to grow. As
earliness is necessary in growing a good
crop of onions this is quite an item. sThe
sooner the onions are planted in the
spring the better, and in many cases by
planting in the fall they will get several
days to grow earlier than if the planting
was not done until spring. October is a
good time to do the planting, although
in favorable season the eplanting may be
done as late as November with good re-
suits.
To grow good crop of onions, it is
very necessary to hayea strong, rich soil
thoroughly prepared. lis difficult to
have the soil too rich, and while it is
best, when it can be done, to use we'll rot.
ted and fine manure, yet when this can>
not be done, fresh, coarse manure can be
used. Poultry manure is a good fertil-
izer for onions. A good plan Of apply
ing is to prepare the soil all ready for the
seeds or sets and then apply the poultry
manure as top dressing, working it in.
to the surface with a rake; or it can be
applied broadcast after the planting is
done.
Onions grow very near the surface,
and whatever fertilizer is applied should
be on or near the surface.
If the cultivation is to be done by
hand, either with the hoe or garden cul.
tivator, twelve or fifteen inches is about
the right distance to mark out the rows !;
but if the horse cultivator is to be used
two or two and half apart will be best.
Do not mark out the rows too deep.
In nearly all cases shallow planting will
give the best result. Press the soil down
on the sets after covering so as to get
good start to grow. Before the weather
gets too cold good mulch should be ap.
piled. When it can be had fresh,
coarse manure is got material for this
purpose. Wheat straw can be used !;
oat stray or hay should not be used,
because as rule they contain too many
seed.
The best time 70 apply the mulch is
after there is light freeze. BY this plan
onions can be grown for market several
days earlier than if planting is delayed
until spring, and in many cases few
days will make considerable difference
| in the price.-H. Lo1s;s Repubkc.

A Country Without Fences.

South Carolina is q country without
fences, writes correspondent, and it is
a vast improvement in the landscape, as
we'll as q great saving in money. Itlooks
odd at first, on the big level plain on
which Aiken stands to see great stretch
of country unbroken by single fence
and here and there a house or barn
without any protecting walls or fences.
The legislature has abolished fences by
declaring that every man is entitled to
enjoy his own land, without Interference
or damage from his neighbours cattle.
That is, if own two scrubby and hun
cry pigs and you have thousand acre
farm next door, I must keep my pigs at
home and not compel you to spend half
your substance in building a fence
around your farm. Life, liberty and the
keeping Of pigs and mules are all sacred
under the constitution, but the man who
owns the pigs OF any other animals must
fence them in or otherwise confirm them.
If they run loose or break loose and do
any damage their owner must pay for it.
This is the most sensible solution of
the fence problem that have ever seen
or heard of. 1t is entirely new to me, 30
I enjoy it all the more, and the more 1.
think of it the more sensible it seems.
1t goes right down to the root of justice.
Here you have in New York State or in
New Jersey thousand acres of land or
hundred acres, or any other quantity,
and you are entitled to reap and enjoy
the fruits of your labor on the capital
invested in that land without let or
hindrance. But one of your neighbors
may wish to keep dozen sheep, and
another COW, and a third handful Of
chickens that probably will net lay eggs
Il speak from experience here,) and for
that reason you must put fence of GER
tain legalized height and pattern around
your whole place, or else you cannot
make your neighbors pay for damage
their cattle may do your crops. 1t would
be just as reasonable to say thst no man
shall be convicted of burglary unless the
house be breaks into has walls 80 many
feet thick. South Carolina is fifty years
in advance of the North in the handling
of this fence problem.-N. Y Farmer.

How a Confederate Got a Horse.

The Confederate cavalryman was often
puzzled how to provide himself with
horse. The authorities gave him choice
70 keep mounted or 60 into the ranks
with his musket, as horses were not fur
nished them by the Confederate Govern
ment. To be dismounted and become
Roet.soIdier was heap worse to him than
a court martial, and he would risk much
in bis efforts to capture a horse from the
enemy.
In the fall of 1868 rebel cavalryman
had bis horse killed in skirmish near
Warrenton, and as his best chance WAS
then to capture one from the enemy he
put his wits to work to devise the ways
and means. He was with the outside
pickets, and not far of, on the pike, were
the cavalry pickets of the enemy. He
procured piece of telegraph wire from
the railroad, and when twilight came on
stretched this across the road, fastening
one end to the fence and the other end to
convenient tree just high enough to
catch a cavalryman about the belt. With
matters thus arranged to his liking, he
started down the pike, and stopped in
plain view of the enemy.
It was not long before three of'them
gave chase mounted on good horses. 1t
was now too dark for them to see the
wires, and on they came, determined to
have the prisoner. The chase was sharp,
and quickly over, SO that by the time the
rebel schemer had pa ssed through and
under his trap, the enemy was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two
of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed,
the third being so much astonished and
frightened at their fate as to turn around
and beat hasty retreat. The two horses,
without their riders, continued down the
road, and we're easily captured by the
Confederate, who, by his clever ruse, be.
came their owner and kept his place in
the cavalry.
The two pickets, left to themselves,
hurriedly made their way back to their
comrades as crestfallen and astonished as
two men could we'll be. TIE hero of this
incident tells the tale himself, and adds
ttat he rode one of these horses to Apo.
mattsx, and from their to his home, and
that it wss one of the best he ever owned.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the disased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta'
chian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can he taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever !;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

HEALTHY CONDITIONS.
IL. q. Dun Co.'S Trade Report Will
Give Encouraging OutlOOks.

BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle
NEW YORK. June 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S. weekly review of the trade will
say: Another week has blessed the
country with great Improvement in the
growing crops. In wheat so great a
change of condition appears that men be
gin to question whether the yield this
year will not closely approximate the un-
precedented crop of 1891. For other
grain and cotton the outlook is decid-
edly better, and there is reason now to
hope for highly satisfactory results from
the years Agriculture In consequence
there is stronger trade through the coun
try, especially at Western centres of dis
tribution. The improvement is less mar
ked at the south, owing to the very low
price of cotton, and continued high
water in some regions.
AT Louisville trade is satisfactory and
improving, but business at Memphis is
inactive and at New Orleans dull on &C
count of high water. At Savannah
trade Is above the average in all branches
and prospects are favorable. Specula-
ton has not been especially active, and
wheat Is unchanged in price. In cotton
no change in price appears, though
transactions have been quite large.
$50, 900 bales for the week and the weeks
receipts have been larger than a year ago.
In every part of the country money is in
abundant supply and the demand at
nearly all points is only moderate, col
lections being generally quite sat-
isfactory for the season.

Stevenson for Vicc.PreAident.


The nomination of Adlai E. Steven
son, of Illinois, for Vice President will
meet the enthusiastic approval of the
democratic party throughout the country,
for if there ever was democrat in whom
there was neither variableness nor shadow
of turning, Stevenson is the man. There
are no flaws in his record in this respect
But Col. Stevenson has other as well as
political qualities that render his selcc
tion for second place on the ticket pecu
liarly appropriate and commendable
He is a lawyer of excellent standing
and long practice; he has had six years
experience as representative in Con
g7ess; he discharged efficiently the du-
ties of an important office under Mr..
Cleveland; he is an honest, plain man oi
the people, who is exceedingly popular
wherever known, and who cannot fail to
give strength to the ticket. In any con
tingency that might happen necessitat
ing his assumption Of the Executiv,
Office, he would be found fully equipped
for the responsibility.
The ticket as now completed is emf
nently able and respectable If elected
it will assure to the country safe snC
sound administration, and it combines
such elements of strength that our Re
publican brethren should be admonisheC
at the start they will have no walk-ove
to defeat it.
