THE PLATFORM.

1. The Republican party of Virgin
ia, in convention assembled. reaffirms
it's allegiance to the principles of the
party, to which it belongs, as enun-
ciated in the national platform, and
expresses its pride in being part of an
organization which faithfully adhered
to their great principles of protection
under which no furnace fires have ever
been put out; no factories have been
closed, and no army of workers has
been put upon the streets and high
ways in enforced idleness.
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
1t denounces the Democratic Admin
istration as the author of unexampled
and infinite distress, as responsible for
unprecedented corporation and indi-
vidual insolvency and ruin, and for
losses and sorrow beyond all compute,
and as unworthy of the confidence and
good will of any people.

Black Knot Nanguished

Black knot is the great drawback to
plum culture. Last }ear's experiments
at the Massachusetts station indicate that
by painting the plum knots with kero-
sene during the summer and removing
from the tee and burning early in the
winter before the winter specs are scat
tered. the disease can be held in check.
BY combining the above treatment
with proper spraying, the disease can be
10 large measure prevented and prae-
tically eradicated from orchards that have
suffered from severe attack.
by proper spraying is meant the ap-
plication OF Bordeaux mixture and am
monical carbonate of copper. The
Bordeaux mixture and Paris green was
applied April ), May ;, May 20, June 8,
and the carbonate august s. The
spraying also greatly reduced the dam
age done by the curcuio insect If these
results are verified in practical expert
ence, there is money for somebody in
plum growing Aside from black knot
and curculo, the plum is one of the
most profitable of all fruits in this sec
ton, and the market at present is un-
limited.

Paper Carpet Lining

a carpet lining made entirely from wood
and paper pulp is one of the newest artic-
les to be produced from that seemingly
unfalling source paper, says an exchange.
Carpet Innings made from MANILA paper
folded in flat rolls, or otherwise construct
ed, are common enough. but the new type
of lining is quite out of the ordinary.
Anything that is between two layers, as a
carpet lining (Which is between the floor
and the carpet must be porous so as to
allow the dirt that works through the text
ure of the carpet to sift through TO the
floor Again, the lining must be flexible
and smooth. 1t must also be moth proof
These ends are obtained by running the
pulp on the floor to an average depth Of
one quarter inch which will furnish good
smooth, elastic foundation for the carpet.
The pulp fills every crack, bad place,
depression, and forms perfectly. level sur
face Expos ure to the air dries the compo-
sition in day or SO. The carpet is laid
directly upon this surface, which, being alb
solutely smooth and just elastic enough,
makes the poorer grades of carpets seem
like the softest and most costly of pile
textures.

Cows and Barns

Even after all talk and lectures. not &c
say actual preaching, there seems to be a
lack OF understanding how to use barns
in the care of our COWS. Some men use
them as il they were simply places to store
feed, and the cows place was outside them
for twelve of the twenty-tour hours, and
so on through the list. Then a man goes
to the other extreme OF shutting them uI
in small stables, light and air excluded
and about on the same principle as making
the bed room of the owner I6xI2 inches,
and feet long with a tight.fitting door
There is no reason why this COW can not
have both light and air in this stable.
made light bY windows, and a space in
which to stand equal to box ANA feet in
length. and feet clear space from floor
to ceiling or $50 cubic feet: this with a
fair chance for ingross or air will be ample
10 give the COW far chance for pure air.
The pactice OF subieCtng COWS to violent
changes OF weather and ice water will
prove in the end more serious trouble
than close confinement even in uufavor-
able quarter.
To turn COW out of warm barn into
zero. and below. weather, is to chill her to
her marrow, and calls for a needless eX-
pendiure OF food to supply heat that the
stable WAS doing for nothing. Mix
giving calls for a relaxed condition OF the
system, and pinching cold demands just
the reverse, as milk giving is benehcence
giving, and fighting cold is self-proteetion,
which is keeping everything possible from
the milk pail. June weather is the ideal
condition Of milk giving; yet farmers
think as soon as the frosts come, that
milk giving is a result of extreme temper
atures, that SO much cold must be mingled
with warmth, or the health, as well as
milk will be undermined and the last
checked and when the milk does shrink,
it Is charged upon the COW that she is q.
low vitality, and is lacking in vgor, and
the breed needs an infusion of pure blood.
with more stamina. Cows do not need
the element OF cold in January any more
than in June. Make the barns light.
warm and comfortable, and stop trying TO
freeze vigor and constitution into them.
You cau't afford the mess of milk. or
increase in food is IN the main coming
too slowly. There IS gong to be 4 change
in this matter, but it is IN the main com
ing 10 slowly. Too many dairymen are
being left behind in the race. Il is skill
