TIE OHIO DEMoCRATs.-At the Ohio
State democratic convention at Column
bus, yesterday, Milton ]. Turner was
nominated for Secretary of State; James
ID. Ermiston for Judge of the Supreme
Court; Harry B. Keefer for member Of
the Board of Public Works; DR.. J. A.
Leech for State Commissioner of Com
mon Schools.
The interesting feature of the conven.
ton was the fight over a resolution de-
claring in favor of the election of United
States Senator'S by the people, which
was finally adopted by a vote of 467 to
32S. This was regarded by some as equiv.
aient to an indirect censure of Senator
Brice, but this gave the Brice men no
concern. An effort Was made to give
greater point to this censure by provid-
ing that the State convention of 1895
should name a candidate for United
States Senator to receive the support of
the democratic members of the legisla-
ture to he thereafter elected. This was
eliminated, and is regarded as a victory
for Mr.. Brice.
The anti free silver proposition was
defeated by a vote of 46S to S19.
The convention did not pass the
threatened resolution of censure upon
Senator Brice nor was it even presented.

IL this part of the country race entries
have been very light this fall, and
when as many as 1S2 entries had been
counted the Driving Park management
was surprised and gratitied. The park
is in the Virginia, Maryland and Della
ware circuit. This week the races are
at Easton, which has los e%ctries. Every
one of the twelve races at the Gentle
mems Driving Park has filled. The
distribution of the entries and the high
class of horses is also gratifying. The
minimum entry for any race is eleven
and the maximum is nineteen. This is
in the face of the park having the
Trenton, n. j., and Boston race dates
to contend with.

There are not many farms upon
place where the wood ought to be,
writes John E. Read of Erie County,
New York. But there are any num-
Der of farms upon which an excess OF
wood will be found in the orchard.
AS rule there are not too many trees.
The number is too small rather than
too large. But what trees there are
look more like forest trees than they
should. They have been permitted to
bear wood rather than fruit. As an
inevitable consequence of this condi-
ton of things the orchards are not
very profitable.
Fruit trees that have been neglected
until their tops have become tangled
mass of wood should either be pruned
or else cut down. If they are sound
and vigorous, and represent good va
rieties, they should have their tops
thinned so as to admit the sunlight
and allow free circulation of air. II
they are old or decayed or the yarie-
ties to which they belong are undesir-
able the trees should be cut down and
their wood transferred from the orch
ard to the pile that has been gathered
for fuel.
Trees that are to be removed can be
taken at any time when the weather is
| not too severe for working out OF
doors. But pruning is not very com
Portable work at the best and cannot
be profitably attempted when the
weather is cold or rough. Therefore
it will be we'll to delay it until the
days are mild. A caution, however,
may be needed not to neglect it too
long. There can be no advantage
gained by waiting until late in the sea
son, and if the delay is excessive there
will be danger that the experience OF
previous seasons will be repeated and
that through another year tbs work
will remain undone. : Chicago Times.

FARM AND GARDEN.
GROWING PEAS WITH OATS.

1t has long been q practice with
Fome farmers to grow the oat and pea
crop together, sometimes cutting both
while partly green and using for fud-
der, and occasionally allowing seed of
both to ripen. The fact that the oat
stalk helped hold up the vine was not
The only, nor yet the greatest, advan-
tage of this method of cropping. It
has been claimed that either for
grain or hay these two crops combined
produced larger yield than either
would alone. Science has come to the
defence of this old-fashioned belief
1t is known that the pea crop is one
of those leguminous plants which, like
clover, uses the nitrogen of the air 70
support itself. AS this process of de-
composing the atmosphere takes place
in the soil, it is quite probable that
the oat crop finds more nitrogen for
its roots during it's later growth from
having the pea crop grown with it.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Sprinkle little tobacco dust in the
hens nests.
Chickens in brooder can be made
to grow better than with hen.
Hens will lay without being mated,
but of course the eggs will not hatch.
Keep the poultry house floor well
Uttered. 1t not only looks nicer, but
is better in every particular.
Feed the hens only so much as they
will eat up clean and at certain hours
to keep them from getting fat
Unnecessary to keep the fowls con-
fined make the yards as large as pos
sible and be sure to keep them
clean.
Fowls should have something to
keep them active. Ii they get lazy
and stupid the risks OF disease are in
creased.
Save all your manure even if your
ground is rich. Manure never did
anv soil harm if it was the right kind
of manure.
When the chickens are hatched un.
der hen one of the first things to do
after they are well dried is to examine
them for lice.
1t is too often he case that the men
do all the growing and cackling, while
their wives do nearly all the work
among the poultry.
The COW that is left in the barn yard
over night, to pick the cornstalks fol
her meal, will give milk in proportion n
to the treatment received.
Colts never should be trained OF
trotted in small places where there are
frequent turns to be made. They
should be practiced on straight
stretches at first till they get well on
their feet and trained to the use oi
their limbs.
Broad tires act as rollers. Narrow
tires cut the road into bitches. The
advocates of wide tires for heavy
loads upon our country roads claim
that teams can draw from twenty-five
to fifty per cent more load than wher
narrow tires are used.
The young pigs are pretty sure t'
be wintered Mt loss if fed wholly, ol
even mainly, upon corn. If one-thirt
or one-half of the ration is composed
of that heating and fat-producine
grain it viii be quite enough, Feee

A Superstition About Yellow.

"Did you ever know that actors and
circus people have a superstltious
dread of anything yellow, asked Billy
Thompson, a member of the profession,
of the corridor man at the Lindell.
"It's true, nevertheless. If a yel-
low dog should run across a field
where circus was erecting its tent it
would consider it an omen of bad luck
and would at once change its locality.
/ remember one incident that occurred
down in Tennessee few years ago that
particularly bears out my statement.
/ was then member of a travelling
variety troupe, and we had been doing
an exceptionally good business, until
one day one of the boys bought yell
low clarinet. From that day business
began to fall off, and finally got SO
bad that we were playing to almost
empty houses. Ofcourse we all agreed
that the new yellow instrument was
the cause of our hard luck and besought
It's owner to dispose of it. He finally
sold it to fellow who was a member
of local band in the town, and Just
to show you how misfortune travelled
with it, the very night he bought it,
while on his way home with the clar-
met under his arm, he fell down and
broke his leg. After we got the yell
low thing out of the company business
commenced to pick up again, and we
did a good business the rest of the sea-
son. - st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

CLEAR THE FENCE ROWS.

Many farms have pelts of young
trees and bushes from ten to fifteen
feet wide along the road and line
fences They form thicket which
encroaches yearly upon the fields they
border. 1t seems strange that any
farmer should allow such condition
of things to exist, but many do from
sheer carelessness. Sometime they
mean to cut the bushes, but the work
is put off from time to time because
other work seems more important.
Such thickets about fields form lurk-
ing places for animals and foul weeds,
from which much damage can be ex-
pected to growing crops, to say moth
ing of the amount of soil given up to
them. There Is not only great waste
tulness in such farming, but it gives a
farm an untidy, slovenly look which
ought to be avoided. This is a good
"cleaning-up time," and it would be a
good plan to cut down the bushes
about the fence now, and have the land
they injuriously occupied 80 long in
shape for use next spring. - Home

A Pigeon With a Memory.

1t seems really impossible to e1tin-
guish the homing instinct in good
pigeon. A story is told of French
carrier pigeon which was captured by
the German soldiers during the siege
of Paris in 1870. The bird was being
carried in a balloon from Paris to
some point in the country whence it
was expected to return to Paris with
message 1t was taken to the German
headquarters and presented to the
commander, Prince Frederick Charles,
who sent it to his mother in Germany.
Here it was placed in splendid roomy
aviary and carefully fed and nour-
ished; but, although it was kept here,
living in the lap of royal luxury for
four years, the French pigeon did not
forget its fatherland. At the end OF
that time the aviary door was left
open one day. The pigeon flew out,
mounted high in the air, flew about
for moment as if to find the points
of the compass, and started IN
straight line for Paris. Ten days
afterwards it beat its wings against
the entrance to its old loft in the
Boulevard de Clichy. There it was
recognized, and its case being brought
to public attention it was honored as
a patriot returned from foreign cap
tivity. 1t remained at the Paris Jar
din dAcclimation until it died, ID

CULTURE OF WATER CREss.

Water cress can only be grown in
clear water, preferably in a clear
running stream. This valuable crop
is mostly grown in the broad open
bitches of drained swamps, made wide
for this purpose, and in which there
is slow current of clear water. The
bottom should be sandy but not mud
dy. The bitches are usually six feet
wide. The seed is commonly sown by
mixing il into balls of mud, which are
dropped on the bottom and thus pre-
vent the seed from being carried
away. Or cuttings of the plant may
be set in the bottom two feet or SO
apart, and will soon spread and fill the
bitches. The cress is cut for sale as
soon as the Spring growth is made and
until the plants flower in July, when
the seed is left to ripen and SOW
itself. The tops of the plants are cut
with sheep shears as they are held i'll
lunches by the left hand, and packed
evenly in baskets holding about q
peck, usually selling for twenty-five to
seventy-hve cents a basket. Il New
