EXCUSES FOR A CHANGE.

Not one-third of the Marietta people
had moved away when a delegation OF
100 from Guernsey county marched be-
fore the stand where Major Mckinley
had been speaking and which he had not
left Major Mckinley said:
II am one of those who believe that the
majority OF the citizens of this country
no matter what may have been their po-
litical relations in the past-are interested
in achieving for the country its highest
prosperity and the welibeing OF the peo-
pie. believe there have been great
many people who honestly believed that
the free coinage of silver of the world
might be a good thing, but after full in
vestigation of the subject are satisfied 1t
would be altogether the wrong thing. The
American people want no dishonesty in
their government; they want no Dishonest
standards Of value they want no false
weights, false measures, false values or
false economy. Now I think the people
of this country believe that we ought TO
have a protective tariff high enough to
keep American shops running and Amer

PLANTING POTATOES.

Deep. Mellow Soil, Kept In Good Tlth
Gives the Best Results.
There are two advantages in plant
ing potatoes reasonably deep. One is
they are less liable to be injured by
drought. The other is that there is no
necessity for Milling up to prevent sun
scald. To grow and yield well potatoes
REQUIRE considerable moisture. Ii the
soil is stirred thoroughly and deep and
the planting is deep they will be more
certain of securing plenty OF moisture
than when the blowing and planting
are shallow.
Keeping the surface level and In q
rood filth aids In retaining moisture
in the soil.
A deep, mellow, loose soil kept In
good filth gives the best results with
all crops. Run out the burrows with
single shovel pillow, plant reasonably
deep, cover well. If good drainage Is
provided and there is not too much dan
ger of washing, it will be best not TO
fill up the burrows entirely, but TO do
this gradually as the cultivation y
given. The potatoes may be planted
deeper this way than would be best II
all Of the covering must be given ct
once.

PREVENTING PEACH ROT.

It Can Be Accomplished by Early Spray.
Ing. at Small Cost.
Rot is one of the worst enemies of
early peaches, but it can be controlled
by proper spraying. and at cost Of
less than two cents per tree for each
spraying. At the Delaware experiment
station, five or six sprayings increased
the yield threefold. and of this total
yield the amount of sound fruit was
increased from three to fourfold, max
ing a total increased yield of sound
fruit at least tenfold on trees sprayed,
at a cost of 10 or 12 cents per tree, COM
pared to the unsprayed. The first APP
plication was made when the fruit buds
began to swell; the second just be-
fore the fruit buds opened; the third
when the petals had fallen; the fourth
when the fruit was the size of peas;
the fifth when the fruit began to color,
and the sixth about two weeks later.
1t is doubtful if the last two sprayings
are really necessary in most seasons.
The best success followed the use of
a weakened bordeaux mixture, made Of
six pounds bluestone or sulphate of
copper and six pounds lime, to As gal
Ions of water. After the first and sec
ond sprayings, add three ounces paris
green to this formula, as protection
against insects. Another equally good
fungicide (but the paris green should
not be used with it) is copper acetate.
eight ounces to As gallons of water.
There was twice as much rot with two
sprayings as with four or six. Neither.
of these formulas will injure the foil
age.
1t is important that two of the spray
ings be done before the bloom opens.
Five applications made and begun after
the bloom was nearly shed were con-
siderably less effective than when two
were made before the bloom opened
Four applications made after fruit
had set were less effective than two
made before the bloom opened. When
two applications were made, better re-
suits were obtained when one of these
was applied before the buds opened,
and again when the fruit was about
one-half size, than when both were
made before the bloom opened.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.

GRAPE ROOT WORM.

Only the Strongest Solutions of Arsenical
PoisOns will Kill 1t.
The Ohio experiment station reports
that the graperoot worm is the young
of a small, brown beetle, that energies
from the ground, in the vicinity of
Cleveland, o.. from the latter part of
June until September, but largely dur
ing July, feeding on the leaves and de-
posting it's eggs under the bark of the
vines. These eggs hatch out minute
worms, of white color, with brownish
heads. which drop to the ground and
make their way to the roots upon which
they feed, when full grown construct
ing earthen cells, in which the larger
portion pass the winter, advancing to
the pupaI state in June without feed
ing in spring, the pupae developing
adults as stated above. There is but one
annual brood. The natural enemies, SO
far as now known. attack the eggs only.
The beetle can be poisoned by
very strong solutions of arsenical poi
sons, and the worms can be killed with
the fumes of bisulphide of carbon. Ere
quent stirring of the soil during July,
and keeping thick covering of mellow
earth over the roots during this period.
will also be of service in preventing the
Young from reaching the roots.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In planting give trees plenty of room
Nearly all kinds of stock are injuri-
Gus to young orchards.
In setting out trees thin them so as
to avoid forks and to make them head
low.
A few apple and peach trees should
be planted every year to keep up the
supply.
Missing trees in the orchard should
be replaced by thrifty young trees O.:
some sort.
It is not a bad plan to keep the orchard
lands in as good a condition of fertility
as the cornfield.
Dead or decaying trees in the orchard
afford a harboring and breeding place
for insects and vermin.
Do not force the growth of young
pear trees too rapidly. 1t is claimed
that the blight does not so readily at
tack trees that grow slowly.
Whatever tends to promote the gen
eral health and thrift of the tree Will
also help to free both tree and fruit
from blight, scab and other diseases
that often attack trees and fruit.
Apple trees trimmed during the win

branches and trunks, which by mid
summer have grown into shoots from
a few inches to a foot or more in length.

AERATION OF MILK.
Some of the Reasons why 1t Is Necessa
in Cold Weather.

Some of the Reasons why 1t Is Necessary
in Cold Weather.
1t is remarkable that many dairy
men who are very particular about
airing the milk during the summer be-
come careless on the approach of cold
weather. While the milk will not spoil
So readily at this season, it is just as
necessary to RID it of the animal heat
by airing it as soon as taken from the
COW. Neglect of this gives the milk
that peculiar animal odor of which
housekeepers often complain, and which
they overcome in part by pouring the
milk into shallow vessel and placing
it in a current of air. Besides creating
a prejudice against the use of milk the
odor affects the flavor.
Airing is, in some respects, even more
necessary in winter than in summer.
Not merely is the COW kept under more
confined conditions, but the food is diff
ferent. Instead of the tender, juicy and
insipid grass, she partakes of stronger
tasting food which must inevitably i'm
part foreign flavor to the milk. This
is, of course, very objectionable; but it
can be taken out by thorough airing
directly after milking.

the necessary fertility, it will be a good
plan to use commercial fertilizer, APP
Flying it in the hill before the seed is
planted.
If the soil is well-prepared before
planting the cultivation can begin with
the harrow and generally the first har-
rowing can be given before the plants
show above ground and second very
soon after. In this way the soil can be
kept in a good filth and the weeds de-
stroyed at low cost.
If the planting is shallow, more or
less killing up will be necessary in or
der to prevent sun-scald, and the soil
will dry out more rapidly, often to an
extent to seriously affect the growth
and yield.-St. Louis Republic.

the ship is afloat man pulls a string,

It is interesting to note that the bicy-
Gle craze is confined by no means to our
own country. 1t RACES furiously in
England, and it is estimated that no
less than 400, 900 machines will be manu-
featured there during 1896. The only
nation which has not gone quite daft
on the subject is Russia. For some rea-
son, perhaps owing to the inhospitable
climate, the subjects of the czar have
not yet taken wildly to the wheel. But
Germany is as bicycle mad as ourselves,
and France Is in the procession. Those
facts explain the extraordinary zeal
with which inventors apply themselves
to bicycle improvements. All over the

suit is that amazing series of improve
