Cherry Trees Standing in Grass.

Our experience with cherry trees is
that they do not require cultivation.
Those we had in the garden were al
ways more liable to rot and to be af-
fected by insects than the trees that
stood in dry places and surrounded by
grass. 1t may be that it is the extra
moisture in the cultivated soil that
predisposes cherries to rot, or it may
be the manure annually applied to the
garden and to which the cherry tree
roots helped themselves freely. The
cherry tree does not do well with wet
feet On high, dry land it's roots will
run deeply enough to find all the
moisture it needs, and on such land in
grass is the best to plan cherries for
prontabIe truitlng.

LiFE'S COMPLAINT.

Some murmur when their sky Is clear
And wholly bright to view,
II one small speck of dark appear
In their great heaven of blue,
And some with thankful love are filled
II but one streak of light,
One ray Of Gods good mercy. gild
The darkness of their night.
In palaces are hearts that ask
In discomfort and rrid)
Why life is such dreary task,
And all good things denied.
And hearts il poorest huts admire
How love has, in their aid
Love that not ever seems to tire
Such rich provisions made.

PhysK"- oubles of like nature coming
from different causes are often puzzle to
those who suffer pain as to their treatment
and cure, as in the case of lumbago from
cold or strain In some way to the same
muscles. The treatment Of such need not
differ one with the other. Both are bad
enough and should have prompt attention,
as nothing disables so much as lame back.
The use OF st. Jacobs Oil will settle the
question. Its efficacy is SO sure in either
case there is no difference in the treatment
and no doubt of the cure.

Care of the Garden.

If the garden is thoroughly under
drained, as it always ought to be, it
should be fall plowed in ridges and
the surface left rough, so as to expose
the soil as much as possible to
freezing. This is the more necessary
because the garden is always shell
tered spot, where snow lies much of
the winter, so that there are few times
when the soil freezes very deeply.
The garden is always the richest spot
on the farm. 1t often is what the
Scotch farmers call "much hidden"
or heavy with manure. 1t needs the
winters freezing to tighten the soil
and make it's fertility available.

seed meal can be purchased at about
the sams price as cotton-seed meal,
and has equal nutritive value. The
new process meal is the kind gener-
ally used. It is not SO fattening az
the old process meal, because more of
its oil has been expressed. Flaxseed
whole is very rich feed, and if boiled
so as to swell it out all that hot water
can do it may be given to cattle, sheep
or horses with safety. Only a very
little should be given at time, as the
oil in it makes it very laxative, and a
small amount daily is better than
more. There is nothing better for an

GLENvILLE, W. va, Oct. & = The
Joint discussion Of the issues OF the cam-
palgn, yesterday, at this place. between
Congressman Dovener and his opponent,
]. v. Blair, has been the talk of the
town to-day. The brief report sent last
night did not do full Justice 70 the in-
cident which the Democracy are now
regretfuiiy contemplating. Whether
the Democratic candidate had been adj
vertised to deliver a speech at the came
hour and place that had been announc-
ed for two weeks for meeting by Cap
tain Duvensr is mot material, but as
both were advertised to speak on Court
day, at precisely the same time and
place, the fact resulted naturally in
the Joint discussion. which Is matter
Of interest. The time was divided a9
follows: Blair commenced with speech
Of one hour and twenty minutes; Dove
ner followed with one hour and thirty
minutes, and Blair closed with twenty
minutes. The opening speech by Mr..
Blair was a pretty fair rhetorical effort,
dealing in piatitudes, gllttering generate
ties, and the geneaiogy OF the party.
He ignored the money question entire-
ly, and left the audience to guess at his
attitude on that issue. He plainly show
ed that the Democratic party was lost
in a fog, ana was without eall or rud-
der. He utterly failed to enthuse his
Democratic friends, and at the close of
his address you could have heard q pin
drop.

When Captain Dovener arose there
wns a strainlnc of necks to catch every
word. The speech was fresh, and to the

of one who had living, burning questions

them. ne had an audience that pleased

was In one OF his happIest moods, and
his speech was considered by his friends
here as one of the pest they had ever
heard him deliver. The tarif and all
other vital issues that come home to the
people Of this section we're discussed
az only CAPTAIN Dovener can discuss
them. he was frequently interrupted
by applause, and IT is the opinion that
his speech was a vote-maker.
Mr., Blair's closing argument was con-
anea principally to the mining interests,
and 20 profuse apologies for having per-
mittea himself to enter into discussion
with such a speaker and slick cam
paigner as Captain Dovener. 1t was
