Frost Protection.

In using smudge fires as protection
against frosts Horticultural Cleaner
cautions that il ought 10 be understood
that the heat Of the fire has but little
effect in diminishing the intensity OF
the frost, almost the entire protection
being gained by the screen Of smoke
produced. The efficacy Of smudge fires
may be greatly increased by spraying
them with water, thus adding vapor to
the atmosphere and raising the dew
point, for the dew point is reached at a
higher temperature when the vapor in
the air is increased. Moreover, by spray
ing the fires, the heat, which would 9th
erwise establish an upward current OF
warm air that conducts the heat up
ward and beyond the space needing pro-
lection, is utilized in forming vapor and
distributed through the lower stratum
Of air, where il is most needed. As soon
as this vapor is condensed at the dew
point this latent heat is set free and
tends to raise the temperature. Every
quart of water thus evaporated and
again conducted in the surrounding air
is sufficient to raise the temperature 2
degrees throughout space so feet
square and deep.

THE Lincoln county democratic CON-
mittee and the gentlemen it has asso-
ciated with it for the selection of a
county ticket, has a very patriotic and
delicate duty to perform, but if it will
do so with an eye single to the good of
the party and not in the interest of any
man or set of men. it will be entitled
both to the plaudits and the support of
the people. That it will do the duty
imposed upon it fearlessly and without
favor we have ever reason to expect
and then with a first-class ticket and a
reunited party, we shall march to GER
tain victory. The INTERIOR JOURNAL
has no favorites: it only asks that the
best and most available men be chosen
and that every democrat will then give
them the loyal support that we will.

in public life, is enjoying what falls TO

death in this neck of the woods, where
the sorrow over the news of his demise
was only exceeded by the Joy over the
later report of its untruth. Major
