ment for publication in the press relating
to the circumstances attending his sons
marriage and divorce. He says that it is
time to speak. because his family, particu-
larry his wife, has silently endured the mis-
representations so long. His statement is
mainly 10 defence of Mrs. Blaine, who, he
says, never in any way sought to estrange
her son and his wife. He also says that
the marriage would never have taken place
had not Miss Nevens made all the plans.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The young turkeys should be Kept
growing.
Feed a moulting hon q few sun.
flower seeds twice n week.
Until we'll fcathcred voung ducks
should be kept out of cold water.
Wood ashes and bone mca are
specific fertilizers for vines and trees.
Stone fruits. such as the cherry,
peach, and plum. need very lttlo
pruning.
A quart of coppcras to the rod,
scattered around the grapevinos, will
prevent rot.
In shipping fowls in warm weather
care must be taken to water them well
and not to crowd them in the coops.
Let the evergreons grow around
the farmhouse. They serve as a nest
ing place for many insect-eating birds.
When it can be done without too
much Inconvenience, 1t Is always best
to ship hens and chickens in separate
coops; they will sell better.
Fruit will not keep where the tenn.
perature varies. This should be low,
and there must DO fresh air, without
a current passing over the fruit.
If your grapevincs have been neg.
lected and unframed, 1t is well to cut
them down to the ground in the fall,
allowing one or two new shoots to
spring up, thus obtaining a good new
vine to work OH.
Early varieties of sugar corn, so
popular in the North. are of little val ue
south Of the Potomac. Corn must be
acclimated to the latitude, and it Is
useless to plant seed from Northern
gardens in Southern soil.
The lady apple is highly esteemed
for the table. on account of its small
size and its beautiful red color on
yellow ground. 1t also keeps well,
and can be found in good condition
from cary winter until May or June.
The grapevine fea-bectles often
cause great injury to the vines by eat.
ing out the buds aud devouring the
blossoms as they appear. A good
way to destroy them 10 to spray the
vines with London purple. one pound
to 200 gallons Of water.

CATTLE ROOM WITH STRAW GARRETT.
There is large room, probably 20
% 80 by 40 to 80 feet, in tho commo-
iious Minnesota Experiment Station
oarn. In that room or space was a,
yet no stall or any other article of
furniture" save n watcrtrouyh about
'ix feet long. On the flor, presum-
ibly of earth, depth of foot or
more of straw aud manure, but so
argc a proportion of the first to the
Iast that tho appearance Of tidincss
and absence of unpleasant odor was
striking. "IIcre," said the pro ofessor,
'is my idea Of Keeping cows. A
place like this can be cheaply provided
Oh any farm where straw Is abundant.
A straw covered, straw-sided place
will do. Arrange places for feed
ing, dehorn tho cattle. anu turn them
loose. No stanchions, no discomfort
TO tho cows liberty to move about,
warmth, shelter, the best conditions
