the isolated farms and plan little conven-

''Ihe old gents 'taters!" and "How
my potatoes grow" are ways of referr-
ing to the same crop by two hired men
and show the difference in their charac-
tiers. The former is slack, shiftless and
good for nothing but to kill time when
out of sight. He is expensive at one
half the wages paid the latter, who
takes personal interest in everything
belonging to his employer and does his
best on every occasion. To see him at
work is refreshing. He is no galley
slave, but strides about the farm where
most needed and usually unbidden. He
says he owns everything, including the
children.
J. FL. w. asks. what manure is best
to put on black swamp land? And what
material will make the best compost
mixed with black muck?' OF farm ma
'nures horse manure is preferable, as it
contains more nitrogen than the dung
cattle, and average muck is lacking in
this element. The question is a hard
one, because different samples of swamp
muck vary so much in analysis. If car
bon be present in excessive amounts as
is often the case, lime will be useful as
a corrective. In composing, lime is
often mixed with muck to break it down
and neutralize its acids. If sufficiently
fine already and we'll seasoned, it may be
composted with any kind of manure,
with dead animals or fish chopped, offal
or butchers waste to supply nitrogen.
Finely ground pure bone 2cwt. to the
ton of muck, will add greatly to the
mixtuse. Before spending much time or
money handling muck for compost it
would be wise to ascertain its value both
by experiment and analysis. The latter
is obtainable free at your state agricul-
tural experiment station Farm Jour-
nal.

AFFAIRS ABOUT TOWN.
A WORD ABOUT RIVERSIDE.

r HI. Smith and family arrived at Mon
treal, last week Friday, and on Wednes-
day arrived at their new home in River
side, Cal. On the train from Boston
were three parties bound for the same
city. Riverside is "a temperance town, so
much so as to have it thrown at her by
envious neighbors. For several years
there were no saloons, but the extreme
action of the ultra -prohibtionists caused
reaction, which elected majority of
high license city officials. AS result
there are now two saloons, which pay an
annual license fee of $4,000 each. Public
sentiment compels rigid enforcement OF
the laws against drunkenness and the
place is orderly to notable degree. 'lt
is likely writes a leading citizen of the
place, "that at the next election the sa-
looms will be wiped out, certainly if the
campaign is shrewdly managed" With
| the exception of English and Canadians,
the foreign population is small. The
place was mainly settled from Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Indiana, Hi
nois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas.
In politics the place stands 800 republi-
cans, 300 democrats, lis prohibitionists
and 100 peoples. With the exception of
the school debt of $50 200, there is no
city or county debt. The city tax rate
is 80 on 800, county 81 40, school Ito
pay debit 81. The valuation is about
one-quarter of salable valuation. There
are a few Cinnamon, as in all California
towns, but their village is Isolated and
kept clean.

Find the Best Way.

After days threshing, New Hamp-
shire farmer, on attempting in vain to
wind his watch, found the key was full
of dust. Being unable to dig it out
with pin he drilled a hole in it,and with
breath blew out all dust. Then he
sat down to think, and within a month
had patented that hole, and now there is
large factory running by electric power
wherein are daily manufactured thous-
ands of watch keys containing the hole
patented by the farmer who already has
made fortune by them. Study the cas-
lest, if it is at the same time, the best
way of doing piece of work, and while
tightening the labor by increased inter-
est you will feel in it, you may hit upon
an invention that will benefit yourself
and others Farm Journal.

DIR VILE TO THE OLD VETS.

DIR w. c. Vile of Danbury attended a
meeting of the soldiers and sailors his
torical society OF Providence, last week,
and read paper before the society. The
Providence Journal complimented DR.
Vile and said among other things: The
paper of the evening, "Two years and
eight months in the Civil war;" was read
by DR. w. G. Vile, of Danbury, late pri-
vate l5Oth New York volunteers. more
recently vice president of the American
medical association, and now surgeon
general of the Grand Army. He graphi-
cally described the last parting with low
ed ones when, although man in stature,
he was boy under Is years; the first
battle, Gettysburg, the wheat field and
Culps Hill; hospital experience; Sher-
mans march from Chattanooga to the
sea, and to Raleigh; the welcome home :;
Lincoln with Stanton at his bedside; a
military execution, and the death scene
of dying patriot, disembowelled by the
fragment of shell. He closed with an
eloquent tribute to the women of Clio.
Rarely has paper so wildly recalled to
participators the emotions of days long
since gone by. 1t was discussed by
Chaplain Bartlett of Mt. Pleasant, who
served in the same regiment. The thanks
of the society were unanimously tender
ed the author and copy OF the paper re-
qaested for the archives.

Fall Manuring of Land.

Land that is MANFRED in the fall will
be in good condition in the spring if the
subsoil is heavy. A loss often results
when manure is spread on unplowed
land, due to washing of the rains in
winter, but if the manure-is turned un
der with a one-horse pillow the loss will
be light. In the late fan the hauling OF
the manure may be done to better advan
tage, as the teams are not then busy.

Fall pigs should be farrowed in Sep
TENDER or October, so as to allow them
chance to secure growth before win
ter Pigs that are narrowed at the be-
ginning of the winter are Ii
able to be stunted by the cold,

Ex-Judge Corbett, of Clarion county, was

business friends. The e1-Judge is an earn
est Democrat, but just at present he says he
is more or less disgusted with the uncertain
policy of his party. eff our representa-
tives in Congress keep on tinkering with
the silver question 1t will make
little or no difference who the
party's Presidential candidate is. We can
have no hope of electing our man on free
silver platform. Personally, am for rev.
enue reform and for an honest dollar Logic
ally the Democratic candidate for Congress
should be John G. Carlisle, but guess he's
on the wrong side of the line to be nom-
mated. After all" the Judge concluded,
eve should have little to say in naming the
candidate, as we will have absolutely moth
ing to say in behalf of his election. The
best thing we can do for the party is to put

A special to The DISPATCH from WASH

tion, which was held at this place to-day,
was decidedly interesting and proved q
complete Knockout for the State admins
tration. The convention was well attended.
County Chairman John c. Bane led the anti
administration fight and Colonel Streator was
in command of the other side. Chairman
Bane had supported james Kerr for State
Chairman against Chairman Wright and
vigorous battle was made against him on
that account. Bane united all the old
factions of the party in his support, however,
and his victory was overwhelming. Reso-
1utions were adopted instructing the dele
gates to the State Convention to
support Cleveland for President and
a resolution making Governor Pattison the
second choice for President was defeated.
Messrs. Bane, Judson, Holland, Jackson,
Townsend and Denniston were elected dele
gates to the State convention. They are
pronounced Cleveland and Guffey men.
