A large crowd gathered in Union

were carried from the telephone

goodly number of the Democrats
voted this year directly for the Nc
kinley electors, while some could
not stand Bryan and didn't want to
vote for Mckinley and voted for

The Mortgage.

mortgage makes a man rustic and it
keeps him poor. IL is strong incentive
to action, and wholesome reminder of
the f1eeting months and years. 1t is
fully as sYmbolical in its meanings as
the hour-glass and scythe that mean
death. A mortgage represents industry,
because 1t is never idle day or night.
1t is like bosom friend, because the
greater the adversely the closer it sticks
to fellow. 1t is like a brave soldier,
for IL never hesitates at charges nor fears
to close in on the enemy. 1t is like the
sandbag of the thug-silent in applica-
tion but deadly in effect. II is like the
hand of Providence-it spreads over all
creation, and it's influence is everywhere
visible. 1t is like the grasp Of the devil
fish-the longer it holds the greater its
strength. Tt will exercise feeble energies
and lend activity to sluggish brain.
but no matter how hard debtors work
the m mortgage works harder still. A mort
gage is good thing to have in family
provided always it is in somebody else's
family.--Truth.

Big Return from Grapes.

A writer in the Farmer and Fruit
Grower relates the experience of Clay
county grape grower. From an acre of
Niagara and Concord grapes he realized
last year, as his first crop, $50. This
year the product will be worth 5000.
His land is "black jack" with light
sandy soil, and yellow sand subsoil. The
vines are set by 8 feet, making $50 to
the acre. He finds the Niagara the
most reliable bearer. The punches are
clean and compact, some of the largest
measuring seven inches IN length. The
vines were trained to stakes the first
year, and are now supported by trellises
of post and wire.-Citizen.
We do not question the crop being
worth 5000 an acre but we ques
ton his getting it. There are good
many grape growers in the state that
would like to get $50 per acre for their
crop. Won't the farmer mentioned
above tell US how he managed to get
such results?

Protection from Rabbits.

In a recent issue W. M. M. asks for a
wash that will prevent rabbits from
barking fruit trees. twenty-five years
Of experience in orcharding has taught
me not to trust to any wash to save my
trees from injury by rabbits. Have
tried several kinds, but always with this
result: When the weather turns cold
and clear, then CDR 'er rabbit" goes for
the young trees, wash or no wash.
The wire cloth mentioned in reply to
w. M. M. is excellent for the purpose,
but it is costly. And to depend on corn
left in the orchard to furnish the rabbits
food so they will not eat the bark Of
trees will not do at all. I have been pro-
tecting the trees in a young orchard to-
day, December 90, where there is corn
in shocks, and just across the fence a
corn field unhusked, and the rabbits
have begun to sample the tender bark
of the young apple trees.
This is my remedy, and it is effective
and cheap: Take newspapers and cut
them so the leaves will come apart.
Fold the leaf once and wrap around the
trunk Of the trees and tie once at the
top. Then bank up little earth around
the bottom, which will hold the paper
IN place and brace the tree against wind
storms, as well as keep away the
m eadow mice. which are destructive as
rabbits.-D. M. Woodf1ll, in Western
Farm Journal

The Tobacco Bud Worm.

one and the same insect. 1t is possible
that the corn worm has been observed
at times on tobacco, since it is found at
Lexington to desert ripening corn to-
wards fall and resort to young tobacco
plants left in the field; but there is a
probability that in some cases another
insect has been mistaken for the corn
worm. Several bud worms were brought
to the Missouri experiment station, July
20, 1893, and confined in breeding cage
until they matured. They proved to be
Heliothis rhexia, the adult of which is
a small seagreen moth. This species
has been observed on weeds belonging to
the same family as the tobacco, but has
not hitherto been accounted tobacco
insect. Our specimens left the tobacco
and went into the ground August 10,
and the adult moths came out one each
on August "a and 25. One, when about
ready to emerge, was placed in alcohol
for preservation as pupa. This worm
and the corn worm are much alike. The
corn worm is rather stouter, more glossy
and has less red on the body. When
mature it will average larger than the
species bred by me. So great is the re-
semblance, however, In pattern, colora.
tion and in structure that cannot con-
slider the two insecGs mem bers Of differ
ent genera.
The injury done by the insects studied
at the station consists in gnawing holes
in the young rolled up leaves at the CEN
tire of the plant, the worms, a single one
to plant, remaining concealed among
the leaves. An application of Paris
green would reach them if thoroughly
applied. Where not very common,
probably removal by hand is the safest
and cheapest method of Kidding the
plants of them Since their original
food plant was probably some one of the
weeds known as ground cherry or horse
nettle, it would be well always to de-
stroy such plants when growing about
tobacco. 1t is probable that in some
the tobacco from weeds of this sort
growing at the edges of the fields. The
worm measures II inches long, and is
1-6 inch in diameter. General color
olive green, with fine yellowish green
longitudinal lines above, uniform below,
but showing on close examination mi
mute white dots. Skin Opaque. Head
shiny, rust colored. Body with fine
scattered whitish hairs, arising from
black-tipped prominences; a distinct
but poorly outlined spot of brick red on
each side of the body divisions from the
third to the 18th inclusive, breathing
pores brown trimmed, the hindmost sew
eral times larger than the preceding.
When ready for it's next stage, the
worm leaves the plant and enters the
ground for few inches, changing to a
to tawny pupa measuring lnoh long
and inch round. 1t is smooth and
shining everywhere, and has two slen-
der, closely placed spines at the tip of
the abdomen. The moth which emerges
in August measures II inches from tip
to tip of the outstretched front wing.
The general color of the front half of the
body and of the front wings is sea-green,
the wings crossed obliQuely by three
nearly straight bands of white; hind

The Partisan Fire Department.

From the Contemporary Review.
Most people will be surprised to learn
that the Paris fire brigade Is simply an in
fantry regiment let out to the town by the
minister of war. Seventeen hundred men,
divided into two battal,ons of six compa-
nies each. make up the powerful ana effi-
cient body. Each sapeur pompier is a
picked man, recruited from the general
army, where he must have already served
at least eight months. Unfortunately, the
regiment is broken up, the men being dis
tributed over twelve Partisan barracks.
As may be easily imagined, this state of
things leads to endless annoyance and diff
ficulty. Each company or half company is
supposed to attend to fires in It's own dis
trict. and in every one of the twelve bar
racks are fire engine and fire escape the
cost of which is 25,OOO francs. In Berlin
and st. Petersburg, as in LONDON, the fire
brigade is entirely civil matter, having
nothing directly to do with the govern
ment. Russian firemen are peculiarly
courageous, and go about their work quite
silently. NJ. d'Almeras considers that the
French provincial fire brigades are very
badly organized, and he would like to see
an inquiry made into the whole matter In
Paris alone there are each year three times
as many fires as occur II Vienna, five
times as many as in Berlin, and twelve
times as many as occur in London; and all
this, he says, is owing to the absolute lack
OF reasonable precaution taken by the
owners Of large houses and manufactures.
