New York, June l3.-The belief that the
st. Louis platform will contain a declara-
tion in favor of the gold standard was more
pronounced this morning, and it had a
strengthening influence on the stock mar

Business was light, however for the rea-

form is finally adopted by the convention.
The improvement IN American securities in
London also had some Influence on the
market.
As said. however, the dealings were on
n small scale. and the change, while only
in the direction OF higher prices, were CON

Sugar and Manhattan were easier at the
opening, bat later on there was IA rally to

date fixed for the convention. there was
considerable criticism of his course, and 1t
was said that the committee ought to get
through with the business before 1t in a
couple of days. The developments have
demonstrated tile wisdom OF the national
ciiairmans course.
BARELY Y oNE-HALF ACTED UPON.
Although the committee has been in ses-
sion for three days, sitting until Midnight
and later, scarcely more than half or the
contests have been acted upon: the most
important yet remain TO be heard.
CHIEF among them are the contests from
New York. 1t has already sbcen formally
agreed that the time limit viii not be en-
forced against the New Workers, and the
, contest from that State will, IL is EXPECT
ed, occupy at least one, IL not swo, ses-
sions OF the cohrnittee. Notwithstanding
the state of the calendars, however, it was
apparent this. morning that strenuous OBJ
iections would be offered to any PROPOSE
tion looking TO the transaction OF business
tomorrow, and some of the committeeman
went So far as to say that they would cease
tn participate in the deliberations at the
stroke OF midnight tonight, no matter what
might be the pending question.
The committee is also larassed by the
fact that It's tenancy of the big clubroom on
the parlor tloor, in which it has been hold
ing Its meetings, arbitrarily expires at
6 O'Clock tonight, when possession is taken
by visiting club from the East, which
engaged the quarters several months ago.
IN CRAMPED QUARTERS.
All subsequent meetings, therefore, will
have to be held in the two small rooms of
the national committee on one OF The upper
floors and which will scarcely hold the
entire remembership, much less the contestants
and contcstees and other parties in in-
terest.
When the committee went into session at
1880 all preliminary business was shelved
aud the Tennessee cases were taken up.
There were two contests from. this State.
II. W. Cheatham and j. b. Eosley, colored,
sixth district, being challenged by j. c.
Crawiey, colored, and ID. ". Shofner, while
IN the Ninth district he credentials of D. A
Num- and Henry L. Austin were claimed by
John X. Walker and Robert II. McNeely.
Both contests were based upon alleged ir-
regularities in the calls for and the pro-
ceedinss of the respective district conren-
tions.
In the Sixth district, on The motion OF Mr.
Maniey OF Maine, Cheatam and Bosley
were seated. They have no fixed Presi-

When to Plox Orchards.

Where orchards have been kept in
grass a few years large proportion OF
their feeding roots may be near the
surface. To plow these orchards when
in full leaf is very injurious, as the
trees are growing then, and the lessen
ing of the plant food gives them check.
Flowing while the buds are dormant
gives little harm. for though it destroys
the feeding roots, others start lower
in the soil from the main roots by the
time the leaves are out. 1t is some
times advisable to plow young. thrifty
orchards in summer 10 check excessive
production of leaf and weed and In

GOOD EARTH ROADS.
Facts to Be Remembered by Those En-
trusted with Making Them.

trusted with Making Them.
How to make good country road IS
a problem of widespread interest. In
large areas of the country, common
earth roads will have to answer all
purposes for some time to come. In a
recent number of the Pittsburgh Dis
Iatch, Mr.. John NJ. Durn describes
plan he has followed 1or several years
with entire satisfaction, as follows:
'.Cut the bitches down three or four
feet lower than the roadway, use
two-horse scraper to curve the surface,
and the natural forces set in opera
ton will do all the rest. The water
drains out of the body of the roadway,
tie mud surface dries and toughens
az it dries, the scrdper fills all ruts
and cuts away all vegetation, the sun
and air dry a hornhdrd surface; rain
storms simply wash it off Clean AMI
in an hour or so after the rain it is as
hard as before. 1 present it as the
most effective solution of the prob
lem of making good country roads with
little expense.
The greater portion of clay roads
probably 90 per cent? are in front
OF farms and owned or rented by people
who do not have the money necessary
really cannot afford TO do so, and it
is really TO their assistance l desire
to direct these thoughts. This is such
a simple matter and so thoroughly Ell
fective that l desire you to consider
the analysis. The existence of the open
ditch with clean bottom gives water
a chance to dram out of the body of
the roadway and run away. The tough
mud worked up by hoofs and wheels
becomes tougher and more compact
as it drains from below and dries from
above.
The scraper drawn by two slow draft
horses attacks the surface when suf-
ficiently dry, all loose stones are moved
into the wheel tracks, everything is
moved towards the middle of the road
way, no vegetation remains between
the wheelways and the bitches, travel
eompacts the still damp material il
its new position. A rain may soften
some of it again. So much the bet
ter. The scraper trims il smooth again,
and about the third time the road is
smooth, hard, compact and dry. 1t
sheds the water of storm. because of
its curve, and especially because OF
solid, impenetrable surface of tough,
dry material. Thus it remains and acts
until frost sets in. If the freeze-up is
rapid, the road is al tight and remains
so. If alternate freezing and thawing
takes place it will roughen up some
what, but the bitches are at work and
very little water can remain in the road
way, and the road dom; get bad enough
to speak of.
1T takes water and clay to make
mud. Get the water out as soon as
possible. The bitches do that, and il
is no longer in the roadway, therefore
not much mud. 1t has been a very
interesting study to me, and have
watched it in all its Carrying phases for
many years.

Tine COUNTRY Butter Buxer.

We refer TO the country grocer who
buys for goods the butter made by his
customers He is frequently at the
mercy CT the poorest butter makers in
his township. They can't sell their
butter to private customers or to the
commission houses; hence it turns up
al the grocery. The grocer pays ten
OF twelve cents a pound for it, and
that is frequently more than it is worth,
as the same butter if sent to city
would be graded as grease" Does the
grocer tell the farmer his butter is not
goodo Far from it: he can't afford 10
lose a customer. Often he gives the
butter a word or two of praise, which
convinces the farmer that his wife is
not to be beaten as butter maker. 1t
would never do for the groceryman to
set himself up as 4 judge over the but
ter of his Latrons.-Farmers' Review.
