Dr. Louchry and Hamlin Davis, two Re-

greatest speeches of the campaign at this
place tonight. to an audience Of thirty
five persons by actual count, and out O.
this number, ten were ladies' and four
teen free silver Democrats. The remain
Ing eleven were Republicans, but four of
them came away from the hall boldly and
fearlessly declaring for Bryan and free
silver. regardless of Dollar Mark Hanna,
Wall street. John Bull and all the COM
bined trusts in existence. With few
moro. such insignificant, would-like-to-be

WESTON, W. Va, October 26.-Much
comment is heard to-day about the two
recent joint discussions in Weston and
Jane Lew. At the latter place, DR.. Holt
boldly charged that the wages Of employees
on the railroad had been reduced and the
salary of one OF the chief officers had been
increased. Mr.. Peterson, assistant to the
auditor Of the road. arose in the audience
and said that he begged to inform the
audience that as to the increase of the
officers salary. DR.. Holt was mistaken,
whereupon Mr.. J. w. Jackson arose and
said that ne was a stakeholder in the COM
pany. and that he knew what DR.. Holt
said was exactly true. and Mr.. Isaac Jack
son likewise said he was also stock
holder and that he could testify that the
Doctor stated the truth. DR.. Holt then
asked Mr. Peterson whether the COM
panv had in fact reduced the wages Of its
hands. and Mr.. Peterson said It had. Mr..
Peterson made a good witness for the
party which favors railroads in this place,
The Democratic party. 1t is to be hoped
the company will send Mr.. Peterson out
again to make corrections and serve as
a witness. -

Developing New Plants.

We select seeds OF certain plants
which come the nearest to our stand
ard of perfection. No two breeders of
standard in all particulars, so with
those who improve plants. Our choice
shorthorns, draft horses, Merino sheep,
Essex swine, light Brahma fowls were
not brought to their present state of
perfection by mere good luck Or acct
dent, but by the long and patient study
and experience of able men. The same
is true of many plants, more especially
of plants which are raised for the
beauty of their flowers or foliage. 1t
is not by accident that our green
houses and gardens are so we'll sup
dodendrons, azalias, camelias, pansies,
petunias, phloxes, dahlias, gladiola,
hyacinths, tulips, pelargoniums, calce-
olarias, asters, fuchsias, chrysanthe-
NUNS. These and many others have
been produced by judicious labor in
breeding and cultivation. The poorest
and those of medium quality were
weeded out; only few Of the choicest
were saved. The work was divided.
One man devotes years of patient
work to certain strains of pelargon-
iums; another to asters, roses or pan
sizes, and so on through the long list
Of "Flora's sweetest treasures" Bur-
bridge says: From houseful of fuch.

dozen a year fit to send out under a

Bagglng Grapes.

Correspondent of Green's Fruit
Grower" asks for information on this
subject. We have purchased paper
bags, he says. such as are used in gro
ceries and sold by the thousand at 80 to
40 cents. These bags are longer and
larger around than the largest cluster
Of grapes when matmed. We have
placed these bags over cluster Of
grapes when the fruit was about the
size Of bird shot, or sometimes when
the grapes were as large as peas, pin
ming the mouth OF the bag around the
base of the stem of the fruit as closely
as possible. No great skill is required
in this operation. 1t is not necessary
to arrange for the entrance Of air in the
bag but 10 is, well to pick a. pin hole
in the bottom OF the bag to allow water
to escape. The clusters of grapes that
we have bagged seemed to ripen earlier
than those not SO operated upon, and
the clusters were of marvellous beauty
coloring beautifully, the bloom, of
course. being undisturbed by wind, or
bird, orinsects Whetherit Is possible
on large scale, depends upon the cir
cumstances.-Ex.

Turnips for Early Use.

Market gardeners make much larger
profits out of the turnip crop than do
farmers. II they did not they could
not grow them at all. The reason is
that they grow the turnip early, hav-
ing it ready for use, sweet and good by
midsummer, at which time the farmer
is just ready to sow his crop. The
gardener sells most of his turnips done
UP in punches for few cents each, but
making price per bushel that would
make farmers eye bulge out. Why is
1t that farmers do not grow more early
turnips? We don't mean every farm
er, of course, or we should have a worse
glut of turnips than there was of pota-
tees last year, when Secretary Morton
urged all farmsrs to go into potato
growing. Still, more farmers might
begin in small way the growing Of
early turnips in amounts that they
could easily market. To do this, they
must do as the gardeners do, fertilize
the early sown roots with some avail
able heterogeneous manure. The turnip
needs good deal of nitrogen to make
a quick growth. The late sown turnips
find this nitrogen in all cultivated farm
land after midsummer. That is prob
ably the reason why turnips are so gen.
orally sown late and as catch crop,
and why also, the price of late turnips
Is always so low that there is very little
profit il growing them for market

Mulching.

A bulletin of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station says:
1t is not generally understood that
q mulch may with benefit be applied
TO cultivated ground. The usual meth
cd of applying coarse litter and man
ure to trees and small fruits is falling
into disrepute with some of our best
horticulturists. This method causes
the root system to form too near the
surface of the ground. so that when
the mulching becomes thin or pro-
tracted drought ensues, the trees
quickly succumb. Moreover, cultiva-
tion is not possible with the thick
mulch, and consequently coarse weeds
grow up, and quack grass finally takes
possession, to the total destruction CT
the trees or small fruits. Many horti-
culturists are now advising the aban-
donment OF the thick-litter mulch and
prescribing instead only cultivation or
the dry-earth. mulch. But this method
mas disadvantages also. Under 1t the
land becomes impoverished owing to
the exposure Of the bare soil to the

Professor Playfair said recently be-
fore the Royal Agricultural Society Of
England that small lungs in proportion
to the total bulk, are helpful TO the
fattening of animals. The order of the
smallness of the lungs of our domestic
animals is: l, pig; 2, sheep; 3. OK; 4,
horse, and as remarkable proof OF the
Importance of small lungs as indicative
of tendency to fatten, the order OF the
aptitude to fatten OF the animals just
named is exactly the same as the or
der of the smallness Of the lungs.
Thus the pig has the greatest tendency
and the horse the least tendency to
fatten of all our domestic animals.
Thus, for instance, Chinese pig has
small lungs, an Irish one large; the
Chinese pig fattens much more quickly
than the Irish. The disappearance
of food from the system of an animal
is owing to the combustion of the food
lungs. The oxygen which has once en-
tered the system never again escapes
from it without being united either
with part of the body or of the food.
This statement may be quite correct
with reference to the deposit of pure
fat. But the health and constitutional
vigor of any animal depend very much
upon healthy and regular waste
through the skin and lungs. Excess
of fatty deposit in proportion to lean
fibre is the very thing to which pork
curers object. The same thing holds
good for over-fed beet
