Wig do not more farmers and house
holders plant small fruits on their
grounds? There is no family which does
not pay out considerable money for Der
rics which, however good they may be,
lack the freshness OF those fresh from the
bushes. 1t does not require much space
nor much care to raise raSpberries, cur
rants, gooseberries, for home consump-
ton. Once started they take care OF
themselves if given an occasional treat
ment to kill the eggs Of insects, and the
worms that may be ON them. Strawber-
ries need more care and will not thrive
in some places, but the experience of the
writer with currants and raspberries is
that they will grow anywhere. The cur
rant worms will not live on bushes that
are sprayed twice week during the early
summer with a saturated solution of hell
ebore. 1t is understood tina. all small
fruits repay the care put upon them, and
which they must have if grown for market
but where raised simply for the home,
they will stand large amount of neglect
and continue bearing.

In France i way has been devised to
keep potatoes from sprouling in the win
ter and early spring This process has
been adopted by the French government
for preserving potatoes to be used in the
army. They have been kept so id and
edible for eighteen months. A solution
of suphuric acid composed of two
parts of water is used Into this the
tubers are placed and left for ten hours.
They are then removed and allowed to
dry. The solution may be repeatedly
used The acid penetrates the eyes to
the depth of about one-fortieth OF an inch
and destroys their sprouting power 1t
does not have any appreciablc ctiec upon
the skin, and, as matter of course, does
not destroy the flavor of the tuber or
make it injurious to health. Chemical
ANALYSIS shows that potatoes thus treated
retain their nutriment Tor eighteen months
and are as good as when freshly dug.

POSTAL REVENUE DEFICIT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. go
Marshal Cushing's newspaper, The
Capital, has this: can annual in
crease of from s to 10 per cent. in
the gross receipts Of the Postoffice
department is usually counted up
on. In the month of June the
department showed an increase of
gross receipts of a little over s per
cent. In July the increase was
only a little more than 3 per cent.
In August there was an actual
falling off Of 4 per cent, as COM
pared with the receipts of August
a year ago. This means simply
that the general business Of the
country has fallen off as indicated
by these figures, and that the de-
fcit in the postal revenues is likely
to be not S4,ooo,ooo or S5,ooo,ooO
for this year, as was expected, but
rather SS,ooO,ooo or SIO,Ooo,OOo."

in view of these reports, our
enterprising neighbor, The Mil
waukee Journal, which enjoys
special facilities for investigating
matters in the several state offices,
should hasten to probe this whole
business to the bottom, and, if the
governor and attorney general are
innocent, vindicate them from
unjust suspicious, or, if guilty,
expose them. Atpresent, certainly
they do not appear to have been
acting very creditable part in

Scandalous Corruption Intinnated.

The contract made by Governor
Peck last Spring for the printing
of the soldiers roster was a much
more corrupt and scandalous
affair than has hitherto been
suspected, if intimations which
have recently appeared in the
Madison Democrat are warranted.
The facts as known to the
public are as follows: A law of the
state authorizes the governor,
when he deems proper, to have
the roster of the Wisconsin troops
that served during the war Of the
rebellion printed. Last Spring it
was announced that Gov. Peck
had decided that the time had
come when the work should be
printed, and that he had made a
contract for its printing with Mr.
McPhail, of the Madison Times.
The book would make two octave
volumes. The Times was a new
paper, established during the last
campaign as was supposed mainly
with money from the Democratic
campaign fund. During the cam
paign it was widely circulated
without charge as a Democratic
campaign document. Mr.. Clark,
Gov. Peck's private secretary, was
the business manager, and with
the governor, Attorney General
OConnor, and other state officers
and politicians, was understood to
hold the stock of the concern.
Just before the contract was made
for printing the roster, Mr.. Clark
gave out that he had severed his
connection with the paper and
disposed of his interest in it to
Mr.. McPhail, who had been
editorially connected with it. The
proprietors of the Madison Demo-
crat, directly it was known that
such a contract was let, claimed
that they were entitled to print the
roster, they being the state
printers. The constitution provides
that all state printing shall be let
to the lowest bidders, and, under
law framed in conformity with the
constitution, they had a contract,
as the lowest bidders, to do all the
state printing. They employed
counsel and were about to test
their rights in court when Gov.
Peck announced that he had
concluded that the contract with
McPhail was not warranted by the
constitution and had Cancelled it.
The contract, though annulled, is
a public document and should be
filed as such, but this Gov. Peck
has thus far RETAINED from doing.
Now the Madison Democrat
asserts that the contract provided
tor printing 1900 sets of the
roster, or $4,000 volumes, and that
it allowed the printer SI.0o a
volume. while under the state
printers contract it would have
cost less than 70 cents a volume.
So, under the contract with
MCPhail of the administration
organ there would have been a
nice little profit Of $4,000 taken
from the state treasury. The
Democrat further publishes this
mysterious paragraph:
