THE DEMOCRATIC party of the State
will certainly gain one vote by reason
of the action of the Lynchburg conven'
tion-that of Governor O'Ferrall who
said he would not vote the democratic
ticket unless it should have opposition
So the McCaull ticket, which ID only
run for appearance sake, will induce
the Governor, against his will, to aoan'
don bis deliberate intention OF refusing
to vote next month, and to cast his
ballot for Major Tyler, who is in favor
of dishonest money" Most Virgins
democrats, for the reason referred to
regret that the Lynchburg convention
nominated ticket.

BOTH THE republican factions in Vir-
ginia profess to support, admire and
love the administration. But that both
of them are not sincere is plain to be
seen, as one has all the favors OF the
administration, while the other has
none, and it is human nature to resent
Sights and to retaliste in kind. That
few or none of the favors referred TO
have been conferred upon ex-Confeder'
ate republicans is not a cause of great
sorrow to Virginia democrats, whose
fellowship such men abandoned for po-
litical association with negroes and
those who had impoverished them and
their State.

JUDGE TYNEB. the assistant attorney
general, says that when he was post
master general he had an eGectual way
of removing the objections to offensive
postmasters, by closing the postofaces,
and that such should be done
in the Hogansville case. Such q
course might effect its purpose in Mr..
Tyner's State, but it would have di-
rectly contrary effect In the South, in
which, were his advice adopted. the
number of Objectionable postmasters
would be rapidly decreased.

ACCORDING to Judge Wsddill and
Collector Brady, the election officers in
Virginia cheat merely for the love OF
cheating, and at next months cleo
ton will manipulate every thing
so as to swell the vote" of the republi-
can ticket, and that, too, it must not
be forgotten, though Chairman Ellyson,
of the democratic committee, says many
of the legislative districts are close.
But Virginia republicans, like those OF
all the other States, take no heed what
they say.

THE REPUgLICANs.-Judge Waddill
Collector of Internal Revenue Brady
and other leading members of the anti
Lamb republican organization, criticise
the work of the Lynchburg convention
and declare that the convention, was
run by disgruntled Office seekers. Col.
Brady says no man in the country
has haunted the Executive Man
sion for Office during President McKin-
ley's administration more than Pat. Nc
Caull. 1t is well known that he has
been almost daily visitor at the White
House since the 4th of March last, pa
tiently waiting for hours, day after day,
begging to see the President, in the
hope oil getting an Office.
Col. James Lyons, until the last cam
paign chief of Governor O'Ferrall's
staff and lifelong democrat, the col
lector says, twas hardly in the repub-
lican party before he wanted to be as
sistant attorney general. BE sought
the recommendation of the State COM
mittee and Mr.. Edgar Allan for this
place." Colonel Lyons is now the
nominee of the Lamb faction for attor-
ney general.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the old organization will be held
shortly to take action in the matter.
1t is said that the organization lead
ers will openly oppose the Lynchburg
ticket and are eager for it's defeat.

Extensive Fire.

DETROIT, Mich. Five large build
ings and two smaller ones with all their
contents were destroyed this morning
by fire which swept through block
situated in the center of the business
portion of Detroit and bounded by the
Campus Martius, Woodward, Gratiot
and Monroe avenues. The total loss is
estimated at 100000 to 100000. The
blaze started shortly before 1 o'clock
on the stage of the Detroit Opera House.
The origin of the fire is not determined.
1t was not noticed until the flames
leaped out at the rear of the theatre,
following blowing out of the rear wall
by the explosion of calcium light.
Within a few minutes, however, the
flames had communicated to the front
and roof the theatre, and the building
burned at terrific rate, the interior
being solid mass of flames. The
flames soon communicated to adjoining
buildings, and before it's progress was
staid it, as stated above, swept through
the entire block, which vas occupied
by jep elers, clothiers and others. The
insurance on the burned buildings and
stocks, it is thought, will almost cover
the losses. Several were iDjurned dur
ing the progress of the fire, but no one
WAS killed

months when they are preparing for
maternity, and should at the same time
be kept steadily increasing in growth
and development.
One of the most successful dairymen
in Vermont, whose herd of twenty.
seven Jersey cows and heifers averaged
in 1896 nearly 1000 pounds of milk,
practices this method, of keeping the
calves growing steadily from the first
by liberal feeding and the best of
care. As q result. the two-year-old
heifers in milk average in yield with
the cows. This method of feeding and
care is continued with the cows with
the best of results, as will be seen.
One COW, about twenty years old, in
1896 gave nearly $1,000 pounds of
milk, so it will be seen that liberal
feeding does not necessarily shorten a
cows life or usefulness, and Jersey
at that.-E. R. Towle, of Vermont.

Hints for BeeIteepers.

Shade the hives when the weather is
warm.
Put starters of thin foundation in the
section boxes.
Look out for robbers when the har-
vest becomes scarce.
Basswood is the greatest honey pro-
ducer while in bloom.
Remove all frames filed with brood
from the brood chamber.
Put the honey in the driest, warm
est room about the house.
Ii exposed to cold or dampness
honey will granulate in the cells.
Strong colonies at the proper time
insure a good honey harvest.
If you work for extract be careful
not to extract too close.
A little pine tar smeared on board
will drive ants from the hive.
A weak solution of carbolic acid
and salt is a good remedy for bee
st;ngs.
Where the honey is extracted large
number of extra combs are necessary.
The only way to keep drones for
any length of time is to keep them in
queenless colonies.-St. Louis Repub-
lie
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-10-07

Free range is absolutely indispensa-
BILE if you want large specimens.
Poultry of all kinds is easily digest
ed, and has less tendency to create
heat than fat pork.
Don't try to keep all the different
varieties of poultry. Two or three va
rieties of the best are plenty.
Overlooking is expensive. 1t not
only costs more for the feed, but
the hens get too fat and lay no eggs
The old stock must not be neglected.
Melting is beginning, and generous
feeding must assist in this irving
period.
No one breed of poultry has all the
good qualities. The best layers are
not the best mothers, and the best
table fowls are not the ones which sup
ply the largest quantity of meat.
Since we know of what the egg is
composed, it is we'll to feed such
things as will make the egg, especially
lime, nitrogen and phosphorus. Moth
ing contains these in more suitable
proportions than green bone.
Cold weather will stop the develop
ment of chicks hatched in June or
later, and it will not pay to keep them
over. Market early and avoid the
drop in prices, which comes when
every one has notion to sell.
Plenty of fresh mir at night and
abundant shade during the day mean
strong, vigorous growth from now I'M
til maturity. Pure, sweet grain, and
plenty of it; fresh, clean water, and
grit where it is accessible, are very
necessary.
Separate your males from the fe-
males. 1t benefits them both and
makes the males more vigorous for the
next breeding season. Gull out all
your useless specimens among your
breeding birds and keep only your
best during the fall and winter.
For the first two weeks feed young
turkeys on stale bread, moistened with
water; after that they can take coarser
food, and almost anything it may be
convenient to give to them from
the table or granary. Fatten on old
corn; green corn is not easily digested.
Clean houses, clean roosts, clean
nests and pure, fresh water must be
the order of the day. Kerosene your
roosts, upper and under sides, every
week. Scald drinking fountains and
renew nest litter frequently. Keep
the lice down during the hot, sultry
days.
