ing statement tonight: After care
full consideration and consultation with
each of the assembly district leaders OF
the republican party Of New York. the
estimated vote to he cast In New York
county for Roosevelt Is 1896 In view
OF the decreased registration we believe
hat the democrats will not be able to
poll n vote for Van Wyck in excess OF
40. 900. We believe that the greater
city Of New York will give Roosevelt
a majority. We shall carry the 5th.

31st. saith and 35th assembly districts.
We believe that we will elect our
members of congress and four state
senator's in the county OF New York.
We believe that the entire judiciary
ticket Of the republican party will be
elected. Reports from election dis
trict captains show that the vote for
the judiciary ticket will exceed the vote
for the state ticket by from 10000 to
5000. The estimates here made are
based upon the closest ~canvasses that
can be made in election districts. II
these estimates are correct. Roosevelt
will carry the state OF New York by
not less than 100. 000."

The only true and sensible way 60 pre-
vent hog cholera and other swine diseases
is to treat the animals as clean, healthy
meat-produsing creatures, and not an flthy
Vermin. It is strange that we ever got
into the habit of treating the hog IN such
a slOvenly manner. We know now that
most contagious diseases are bred on filth.
That Is why we have had hog cholera
in this country The old-fashioned way
was to let the hog wallow in a narrow
pen in its own filth, and then without
producing food.
The fact is the swine prefer clean pens
or lots to dirty ones, and they like to
Wallow in good, clean soil in preference
to their own filth. This is a method of
cleaning themselves. Give the swine moro
room, clean out its pen regularly, and
let it have clean earth to walow In and
1t will be the cleanest looking animal on
the farm Then give it pure, clean water
instead Of dirty water. The animals prefer
clean water every time, and will drink
it when they won't touch the dirty mess
found in SO many pigpens. Mud should
not be allowed to accumulate in the pens,
and then they won't get their feeding
troughs and their own backs coated with
it,
Finally give them some variety In their
food, as you give to the cows horses.
sheep and chickens. They can't live and
thrive on corn alone: In the summer
everybody wants green food or fruits;
they are essential to health. The hogs are
the only farm animals usually deprived
of these blood-cooling products of the
fields. Give them all the clover, grass
weeds or similar stuff they can eat. Then
they will relish the corn and swill all the
more, and their systems, thus kept in
better order, will thrive ON the corn diet,
They will endure the hot weather, and
come out clean, strong and fat in the fall.
AS to diseases-they won't have them il
these simple hygienic rules are followed.
That is all that's necessary to prevent
swine diseases that so many dread

area of virgin forest would measurably
protect a grove, so far as mechanical ell
fects are concerned, but the lumber man
and the turpentiner are as careful to get
locations near the railroad as are the grove
owners.
Even a dead pine tree, girdled and stand
ing erect, affords a measure of protection
against a still cold, that is, If it is closely
surrounded by others. 1t is a fact often
observed by growers that a whisp of
mulchng, or even of green vegetation, will
attract frost to itself, and thereby secure
exemption from it's effects for a tender
plant in that vicinity. In the same way
the rotten and spongy trunks of the dead
ened" trees, towering in the air high above
the young orange trees, will draw to them
selves the frost in the air and save their
tender prOteges beneath.
It is not so much, however, the imme-
diate mechanical protection afforded by
the pine forest that is most valuable as
the equanzing effect of the vast aboriginal
clothing of woods upon me teOrological phe-
nomena in general. In proportion as the
forests are destroyed there seems to be
more eccentricity in the weather; longer
droughts occur, and when the rain does
come, it is precipitated in greater volume
within shorter periods of time.
But necessity is proverbialy the moth
er of invention In the short period which
has elapsed since the freeze our growers
nave MADE more progress toward uISCoN-
erng efficient modes of protection than
they did in the two whole decades preced-
ing. Both in Florida and California they
have Travelled nearly the same lines of eX-
pertinent and they arrived almost stimuli
taneously at the same goal of conclusions.
After testing various extraneous sub
stances, petroleum, moistened straw, ros-
in, water in bitches, steam in pipes, as a
source of heat or heated vapors the cycle
of experiments has completed its circuit
and returned at last to the simple dry heat
created by burning the pine which nature
evidently planted here for that purpose. In
other words, the humble tree which is so
often sneered at as constituting all there
is of arboreal Florida, in its death, in
passing into smoke, yields more protection
to the orange than it could in its life
Nothing could be more simple, nothing has
been found more effecual. than the little
fire of pine sticks in the square between
four orange trees. 1t looks now as if the
time would come when the careful orange
grower win provide in summer his supply
of fuel as regularly as the New England
farmer fills his woodshed. And this protec-
ton is as cheap as it is effective.

Peaches-PInnt n Variety.

On nearly every farm. large or small, in
the South, there are more or less peach
trees, but a great many fail to give them
the proper attention and the product is
not what it should be. A great many fail
to have a proper mixture of varieties. Most
of the fruit is too poor to be salabge. From
over-bearing and other causes the trees
soon become broken and deformed and
yield but little nice fruit even in good
bearing years. The trees may be chopped
at now and then. but are rarely pruned
properly.

HAY or sANDsPUR GRASS.
DIR. MnIIette of ThOmns County Says
1t Is Good Forage.


Thomasville. Ca, oct. Large guam
titles Of fine hay are being hauled to
Thomosville and sold daily. Many produce
ors have bought moving and ballng ma

nicely and compactly baled. This is a great
step forward, as II then becomes possible
to store away considerable quantities of
nay for future use. The weather has been
exceptionally favorable for curing hay.
The grass was 5uxurantly developed by
the summer rains, so there has been
good chance 10 save il. The quality so far
is very good. The low price of cotton Is
destined to prove a very great blessing in
this respect. Il is teaching the people the
immense and incalculable value of the
srass crop which has hitherto been prin-
cipally a waste product or even worse.
Many farmers win this year realize more
from the despised grass crop, than from
the aristocradc cotton. II has been a long
bitter lesson to learn. and many gray
heads have not learned it yet, but the
number who have is rapidly increasing.
