To Keep Fruit.

1t is said fruit may be readily
kept several months by taking
sawdust and thoroughly drying it
on stove SO az to get out all
moisture. Tissue paper is treated
the same way. Then punches of
grapes are cut when fully ripe in
the fall, and every bad or imper-
feet berry removed. Then each
bunch of grapes is wrapped in the
prepared tissue paper and placed
in box. and the space between
the punches being filled with the
prepared sawdust. The box should
then he wrapped mp tightly in
paper and placed in fruit-house.
Fruit has been kept in fine condi-
ton in this way until April, when
the bloom" was as fine as when
cut from the vine. Tomatoes were
stored away on May l, and when
examined October "a turned ont in

learn to hate learning. Some day

Bud Worms in the Corn

/ wish to give to the farmers OF

ing the corn. / have been trying
for several years to find a remedy
for them. and ] think / have found
it at last. / have been trying it
for five or six years, and / have
not had any trouble with bud
worms killing my young corn in

before planting, to sun it until it
is perfectly dry and then plant it.
Last year | tried il to my satisfac-
ton. ] had a piece of bottom
land about two acres which
planted all the same day, and foI
about half of it | summed the corn,
and for the other half j did moi
sun it. OF the half that i summed

that | did not sun / came very

Sound Logic,

The Paulding Ners is numbered
with the list ofpapers which have fin
ished their mission and been sadly
and quietly laid to rest. It's history is
50 similar to all others of its class that
description of its trials and tribula-
tions serve only as additional cause for
reflection. It's finis is the termination
of a struggle to build up an opposition
to and tear down the old established
Democratic paper of that county.
which through adversely, in season
and out of season, has many years
fought its party's battles and labored
zealously for 4 united and harmonious
Democracy. The Neacs, after a weary
existence of more than year, has
learned from very painful experience
whatits truest friends advised it before
its beginning-that there was no place
for it in the local Democratic field, for
its only hope of success was in creation
of a division in the Democratic house
hold to the encouragement of hsr-
monious party action. With full
knowledge of this fact, Republican
manipulators were profuse In encour-
agement for its maintenance, and only
such few Democrats as were lacking in
party fealty or had become so "soured"
they preferred disruption oftheir party
to Democratic success, were ready to
join hands with the scheming Republi-
cans who urged its establishment. 1t
was lauuc ched with big flourish and
loud blare of trumpets, but that the
Democracy Of Paulding county were
true to their time tried servants and
did not approve this new effort to
create discord by certain enemies OF
their party, is plainly evidenced by
the statements contained in the Ne,os'
obituary, which frankly tells the truth
in the following lines while speaking
of its dissolution:
In taking this step the publisher has
been actuated by two motives-first,
his own financial interests, and second,
the general welfare of the Democratic
party in Paulding county.
We feel convinced that from busi-
ness standpoint Paulding does not af-
ford room for two Democratic papers.
The patronage is not large enough to
bear division, and with division does
not justify the investment of the nee
essary capital and labor. We are now
convinced that running paper in op.
position to a we'll established and well
conducted party newspaper only tends
to embarrass and disrupt the party

To those kind friends who have sent
US campaign subscribers during the
past week, in answer to our request,
we return thanks, and can assure them
that their favors are appreciated in a
double sense: While it is helping to
disseminate democratic principles, it
is assisting us pecuniarly in our efforts
to give the democrats of Henry comfy
a clean, bright, newsy, simon pure
paper.
There can be no better way of assist
ing the cause of the people and democ-
racy, than the wide circulation ofpa-
pers fearlessly advocating their cause.
To this end we would again urge upon
our friends to prevail upon their
neighbors to at least subscribe for the
NORTHWEST during the campaign,
which will cost them but 25c, or for
year at S1.00! Send or bring in the
names.

To the average reader who is not
used to Republican lies, the statement
that the Carnegie workmen received
from 81 to $S per day would be mis-
leading, as intended. 1t must be re-
membered, as drawn out in the con-
gressional investigation now going on,
that these workmen only labor an
average of about 250 and some 200 days
per year. This makes their yearly
earnings comparatively small consider
ing the high degree of skill required in
steel workmen. In England similar
mechanics work the entire year at a
small decrease, tits true, in wages over
American steel workers, but their
yearly earnings are equally as large,
because they work the entire year,
while their living averages 335 per
cent. cheaper, thus really making the
purchasing power of their earnings
greater than in the United States.

has no use for his home paper. He
takes paper published in Portland,

roll up immense Republican majorities
is in the possession of the Democracy.
So are Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
