charge, and a member OF congress George
Krcmer of Pennsylvania made some state
ments, and believe made ahidavts to them
which for years were used as substartiating
that charge In after years It was proven
that James Buchanan was instrumental in
the circulation of this charge, ana Clay
never lost an opportunity while in the sen
ate of assaiing Buchanan.
When Van Buren, was the candidate
against Harrison, in 1910, the charges
against him were extravaganza, and the
hard times which had prevailed since 1897.
Jack Ogle made gold spoon speech, telling
how Van Buren used gold spoons at his
meals, while the people, in consequence OF
his extravaganza, were obliged to put up
with pewter spoons" 1t seems hardly cred
iblo at this day that such a charge should
have been seriously made In a presidential
canvass, but II was regarded as powerful
instrument against Van Buren,, at time
when there was 30 much suffering and times
were 80 hard. Van Buren's SON, prince"
John, just about the close OF the campaign,
returned from England, The news az once
spread that he had danced with the queen.
These charges were used effectively In tho
press, and buried the father under an ava
lanche OF states which voted for Harrison.
"BLACK-LEG AND PURITAN"
WheI Clay was n candidate for the presl-
dency In 1874. his running mate was Theo-
dore Frellnghuysen, who was. or had been,
president OF the American Bible society.
Clay was assailed for his fondness for cards
and horse racing. and, contrasting the two
mon, the ticket was called the ticket OF the
"Dlack-leg and the Puritan" Another cam
paigu device used most effectively by the
opponents of Clay, was a translation by the
democrats OF document on the tariff, which
was circulated among the Germans of Penn
sylyanla. and gave that state to the democ-
racy. This translation" writes George w
Julian, was masterpiece OF duplictly aud

MISTAKES WHICH HAVE MADE HISTORY


NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Now Is the sea-
son when the campaign manager lies awake
o. nights dreading the roorbacks that may
be sprung upon his candidate and party.
These roorbacks as a rule, are held in re-
serve until the briefest possible time before
the day OF the election, in order that the
contradiction cannot have the same circula'
tion as the original. No matter how absurd
and improbable these reports may be- they
always find some believers and change some
rotes. AS long ago as the campaign which
ended in the election OF Jackson and the
defeat Of the younger Adams. such instru-
mentalities scurrilous beyond anything of
more modern times, were not regarded as
unlawful weapons to be used in presi-
Dental canvass. The Coffin handbill as II
was called, headed with ivl collins bearing
tue names OF men General Jackson had
hung in the Creek war for giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, was one OF the most
offensive.
Besides this handful, which was spread
broadcast over the country, others more
personally abusive we're in circulation
Adams, a purist OF the purists, was accused
OF a variety OF crimes, one of the least OF
which was that he had acted as a procurer

changes this to grape sugar, and so
prepares it that it is almost ready
for assimilation without any effort
on the part of the stomach. A little
will act like magic upon hungry,
weakened man.
Careful cultivation increase the
yield of the crops by affording
greater feeding capacity to the roots
of the plants. When the soil is
worked to fine condition the roots
penetrate the ground more easily,
procure a greater share of plant food, ,
and grow more rapidly than when
but slight cultivation is given.
Remembering the amount of fer
tility locked up in the soil, and re-
membering that this may be made
available, the farmer may with
prOpriety consider his land his bank.
If in this bank he yearly deposits
clover and manure, it will never dis
honor his checks or allow his notes
to go to protest.
Comb honey is an aid to the diges-
ton of warm bread and biscuit. 1t
tends to prevent packing in the
stomach, and, melting away, leaves
passages for the gastric Juice to
enter the mass of food. The I'M
pleasant systems from which some
suffer after eating honey may often
be removed by drinking little milk.
Nothing like nice coat of paint
to the farm buildings gives better
impression of the farm. Large
numbers of old buildings cannot be
painted, except at great expense,
but these may be given a coat of
whitewash, and the result will be
very satisfactory. The lime in the
wash is purifier and disinfectant,
and even the pigs will do best in a
tidy house.

Stock.

1t matters not whether the farmer
is breeding for beef or for butter, he
can not afford to ignore the principle
which runs through all breeding
operations-that like begets like.
One may soon build up herd Of
great merit merely through a selec-
ton of good COWS bred to the best of
bulls, or may stay at the tail of the
procession.
Any farmer can afford to think
twice before he buys a bull. Let
him not think $50 monstrous price
to pay for young bull which is
quite sure is to be a good one, and
then turn about and pay about three
fourths as much for the veriest
scrub. Why are many blind or SO
thoughtless?
He is the scrub farmer who re-
fuses to read up in "book farming"
for he invariably raises scrub stock.
Such men are fast seeking other oc-
equations, for under the present con-
ditiOn of things, profits come only
from superior quality and early
maturity, it matters not what the
prejudice may be against fine stock.
One must meet the market demands
or sell at a loss.
Cement floors are likely to become
popular for barn flooring on ccount
of their durability, cleanliness and
the facilities they offer for saving
the liquid manures. Moreover, they
are to be valued for their rat proof

this questions in all its phases.

We were not far wrong when we
predicted a bright outlook for the
little black PAGER Hal Carter, when
he faced the starter this season,
from the way he fought his race at
the Detroit half mile track last week.
The 2:1l pace or the practical free
for ali, had the good mare Effie
Powers, who had gone a mile the
week before in 2:l04 for a favorite,
but Parker dangerous product from
Tennessee was good second choice.
Parker went to the front in the first
heat and was never headed. He
was pinched and thrown off his feet
liz the second heat. He was favorite
in the third heat. On the start his
driver Bush had him in hand; not
thinking the word would be given
was way back, but was soon in hot
pursuit, coming in the stretch near
ly two lengths behind, he set sail for
the mare and gained every stride to
the end, being beaten by scant
nose in 2:l21a. The fourth and de-
Gliding heat went to Effie Powers
with Parker second. The finishes
were said to be close and exciting
in the extreme, and show that Hal
Parker with little more work will
be one Of the great performers of the
year. In this his first race he had
only been out of the stud 80 days

Agriculture.

One reason why we do not all raise
60 bushels of corn an acre is that of
all the ineXhaustible store of fertili-
ty in the soil less than one per cent.
of it is available. Apply lime to this
soil, and it releases potash from its
insoluble condition and promotes
decomposition of all organic matter.
There Is an old Scotch saying that
''lime enriches the father and i'm
poVishes the son. This is true if
vegetable or organic matter is not
applied with the lime. Lime, also,
has the property of tightening heavy,
clay soils and giving tenacity to
light, sandy ones. 1t corrects the
acidity of "sour" soils, and makes
them yield immediate plant food.
If, owing to the numerous rains,
the weeds by chance get the start of
you, there is no better time than the
present to fight them, and, if you
cannot subdue the entire field, bet
ter conquer a portion of it, and see
that it is we'll done, for a little well
done will give better results than if
all is but half done.
Popcorn will develop more rapidly
than field corn, and in central lati-
tudes can be planted any time dur

Horticulture.

There is vet room for the
hybridizer in the case of gooseber-
ries. Our native ones are too small
and the foreign ones too much sub
iect to mildew Seedlings between
two always result in an improve
ment.
The golden or tricolored leaved
priyet is grand shrub, because its
beautiful foliage is not hurt by the
hot sun of summer, as is that of
many other variegated shrubs. Be-
side this, its panicles of white
flowers in June are very pretty.
Why does any one advocate that
apple orchards should be set to
grass? Why are they not cultivated
and fertilized just as are orange and
lemon orchards? Farmers go to
great trouble and expense to plant
apple orchards, and willingly Gull
tivate them until they begin to bear,
then expect nature to keep them pro-
ducing bountifully.
An apple tree fast exhausts the
fruit producing properties of the
soil, fruits less and less abundantly,
and starves to death or yield very
inferior fruit. Feed it, feed it.
Keep the ground stirred to retain
the moisture. Grass gives just so
many capillary tubes to waste mois-
ture.
AS rule, spraying has not been
INDUCED in by those who have or
chards large enough to supply the
wants of the family, but success
warrants the practice by those who
have buta few trees. Nothing has
done more to ensure a good crop of
sound fruit than the invention of
spraying pumps and connection of
insecticides

If a change of feed is needed with
the working horses, little oil meal
mixed with the cut hay and grain
will do away with all cOnstipating
effect, and with less danger of
throwing them off their living by
giving them the scours than if they
are given grass. A taste of grass
will make them care less for their
usual feed.
Nearly all farmers could keep
some sheep to their gain. There is
much waste vegetation on every
farm which no animal but sheep
will eat. They will not subsist upon
stumps and stones, but they will
clear out many kinds of weeds,
briars and bushes, and they are bet
ter than boys to rid field of sprouts.
