THE county Democratic executive
committee In last March ordered TWO
conventions, with the express purpose
Of leaving the governors race outof our
contest for local officers. Judge Sted-
man and Mr.. Stewart endorsed that
course. The candidates went before
the people with that understanding
When there was on effort to violate
that agreement in the May convention,
by endorsing the state administration,
every candidate now on our county
ticket denounced it rs unfair They
even went so far as TO prepare petition
to that convention asking that the res
olution DO sat down on. Whatever
breach of that agreement was made or
attempted TO be made then or since
then, was not by the fault Of, nor did
the same receive the approval of any
candidate on our county ticket. For
their fairness in this every Democrat
should stand by every man on the
ticket,

Matching. ;,
Regularity in management is as i'm
portant as regularity in feeding; both
are necessary.
A GOOD farm-yard fowl must have
stamina and vigor, as it is supposed to
pick up good portion of its living.
WHOLE straw is better than hay as a
nest material, but either one is prefera-
BILE to that which is run through a cut
ting box.
Fowls are SO provided that they can
grind any kind of food eaten. It is not
strictly necessary to grind their food
for them.
The farmer that cannot make hand
some profit with poultry when he has
good stock and gives them good care is
an exception.
IT, is often. the case that if the
hens are well fed during the spring and
summer they will moult early in the
season and make good winter layers.
THERE is no danger of the chicks
providing on top of each other in the
brooder if the temperature is kept
even. 1t is when they get cold that

How to Make Pig Raising Paw.

The profit in hog raising comes
largely by management. If he can

with fresh drinking water always ac-

kept free from worms he will be thrifty
md make a good frame on which to
.ouild the hog of commerce at small
:ost and will not be liable to disease.
He should have salt and wood ashes or
salt and lime mixed to correct his di-
sestion; this is particularly necessary
when he is put into the fattening pen.
He should also have charcoal. It alone
. better medicine and conditioner
han any in the market that does not
contain it. If out of condition or sick
Sr wormy. the medicated charcoal pow
iers for hogs will give speedy relief If
aiken in reasonable time. The better
plan is to give an occasional dose as
corrective and conditioner. Prevent

Tho Males for Next Year.

AS the males should be fully matured,
and yet not too old, the proper way to
secure them is to hatch them in the fall
and keep them until they are eighteen
months old, which will bring them in
during the early months of spring. Be-.
ing hatched in the fall such birds will
be somewhat smaller in size than those
Matched in the spring, but the chicks
sired by them will be as large, at the
marketable age, as those from the
larger males. Males with small combs
should be preferred. as they are less
liable to the effects of frost, which
sometimes causes the combs and wat
ties to be very sore, and even to slough
of. This point should not be over
looked, as birds with frosted combs are
unserviceable.-Farm and Fireside.

In pruning my young orchard this

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.

The Wonderful Skill and Accuracy They
Must Develop.
Those wiseacres who pl edicted few
years ago that the telephone was des-
tined to entirely supercede the tele-
graph and therefore leave several thou
sand telegraph operators without an oc-
:upation, have lived to discover that
they were mistaken. The telegraph
operator still fills very important po-
sition in this busy world of ours, and If
it were not for him one could not read
in our morning newspapers all that has
taken place in the unive rse during the
twenty-four hours preceding. There is
great deal more skill an 4 manual dex.
terity called for in the telegraph opera
tor of to-day than there was Immediate
" after Prof. Morse made it possible to
send messages over the wire, as for sew
'eral years past the old-fashioned tape
unwinding machine, with its imprints of
dots and dashes, has not been used at
all by telegraph operators, who now re-
ly entirely on the sense of hearing in
taking messages. To the unframed ear
there is nothing more confusing than
the clickety click of half a hundred
telegraph machines in one room, but
the skilled operator finds no difficulty
whatever in sitting at his own table in
the midst of veritable babel of sounds
and understanding just what it is that
the little instrument before him ticks
of. In large telegraph offices type
writer's are now used for transcribing
m essages hot from the wire, aud the
speed that some operators acquire in the
use of the typewriter is quite as great
as that with which they manipulate
the key in sending message. often

sages that they dailyssend and receive,
or whether they perform their work

joyful or sorrowful nature, whichever
it may be, of the communications that

may be, none of us are apt to be any the
wiser on that point than we are now,

E.oellent Food for Cow,

Oats and pease make an excellent
early crop of green food for cows that
have but scant pasture. It is prac.
tice in some sections to SOW oats and
pease thickly together broadcast, har-
rowing the seed in, and then turning
the cattle on the field when the pease
are in blossom, but such method is
not economical, as the cattle will
trample and destroy large portion.
The crop should be cut daily aud fed in
the barnyard, and, if necessary, some
OF it may be cured as hay.

Il Can he Avoided BY Keeping Organlo
Matter ON the surface.

mAcGoH ON the 80HT20os
The important secret Of maintaining
fertility of soil is simply the maintain.
ing of organic (animal and vegetable)
matter on the surface. The benefit
comes in soon or later, In proportion a.
the matter is sort tnat readily de-
Gays or not If this matter is Of com.
pact nature, and lies on in mass, go
that air does not readily circulate
through it, it may sour and become
corrosive to plants near it, instead Of
beneficial. Where lands are subject to
overflow, and the current is not SO
rapid as to cause any waste of the soil
by washing, the water will bring and
leave on or in the soil the essentials for
a full crop, SO that good growth can
be obtained year after year, with no
addition of manure. Insects, too, arc
reduced by being drowned out. No
matter that decays naturally should be
wasted by burning. unless infested
by fungus germs or injurious insects or
their eggs.-Ed.] The coarser parts
can be made to do nutrient service
about perennial bushes and trees, and
the rest can be used around plants Of
less height-only very dwarf and deli
cate seedlings requiring that the sur.
face be fine. Even for them it is best
that the actual surface be fine vegeta-
bic mold
It is not safe to bury much coarse
matter in the soil. In clearing wood.
land, the farmer is careful to get rid Of
all leaves and chips in order to avoid
their being buried in the soil and sour
ing there. The bulky roots of corn when
turned down fresh have that effect, and
render it impracticable to sow wheat on
fresh corn stubble with prospect of any
good return. The burning off of leaves
and chips on clearings has instilled
among our people the idea that burn
ing off all surface litter is good and
proper practice, whereas it is actually .
sinful waste, rapidly Fastening ex-
haustion of soil. Grass is the most et.
fectual means of restoring the natural
vegetable surface, or humus, to hilly
soils, and it has the merit of not being
liable to being washed away as any
loose litter may be. If uplands cannot
yield so much bulk of grass as tho
moister lowlands, it is so much sweeter
and more nutritious in most cases as to
justify keeping them covered with
grassy growth, excepting while being
used for some other crop; never leaving
them lie bare avoidably.-N. Y. Trib-

DANGEROUS SKILL

Burglar Opens . Treasury Vault when
the O6icialss Gould Not.
About six months ago an order ar.
rived at the sub-treasury directing the
treasurer to have all the time locks on
the vaults cleaned. Among those that
were taken out was one on reserve
vault containing twelve million dollars
in silver. From the lock on the door tc
this vault the locksmith took only such
parts needed to be cleaned, leaving the
rest in the door.
When the vault was closed the tum.
blers fell into their places, the ''catch'
of the time lock, or the part that was
left, caught all right, and the door was
securely locked. So securely locked, in
fact, that it was found impossible to
open it again, for the part of the time
lock that should release the catch on
the inside was outside in the hands of
the locksmith
The combination knob was turned
this way and that, and everything that
would in any way tend to loosen the
bolt was done, but to no effect. The
locksmith even wen so far as to put
plank against the door and pound away
with a sledge in the hope that some
thing would give away, but still the
door remained securely closed, and as
there was really no necessity to open
the vault the treasury seal was placed
on the door and things remained as they
were. =
1t became apparent that something
had to be done, however, and it having
been learned that ''Billy" Ensign was
in town, he was hunted up. Ensign is
the well-known cracksman, whose won
ierful ability to pick locks has more
than once landed him in prison, and the
propriety of calling him in was consid-
cred at some length before it was de-
:ided to resort to his skill.
Chilly" went into the sub-treasury
yesterday morning and at once set to
work. He tinkered with the combina-
tion knob for awhile, and then, getting
lown to business, put his ear against
the door and began slowly to turn the
knob back and forth, listening intently
to the clicks of the tumblers as they
fell into their places.
How he did it no one Of the bystand-
ers could determine, but it is certain
that his manipulation of the knob af-
fected the time lock ID some way, for
he suddenly Strengthened up, grabbed
the lever that moves the steel bolts, and
giving it quick, sharp jerk, the door
swung open before the astonished
clerks.
Ensign knew nothing about the lock
when he started in to open the door
and all Treasurer jackson could say
about it was she's q wizard."-.N. Y.
