Reply to Secy. Perry s
Heath's Invitation.
One Of the Founders Of the Republican Party
EmuIates the Late Ex-Gov. Edgertons s Ex-
ampIe---His Timely Warning.

Mr.. s. F. McCalmont, of Franklin,
Pa, is one of the thirteen surviving
founders Of the Republican party. He
was a warm personal friend of the
late Gov. Sidney Edgerton, of Akron,
and is cousin Of Mr.. Geo. W6
Plumer, one of Akron's well known
business men. Mr.. McColmont has just
replied to a letter recently received
by him from Perry s. Heath, secretary
of the Republican National commit
tee. and signed by NJ. A. Hanna and
the various officers and members of the
committee. The letter stated that, in
compliance with suggestion promul-
gated by Jacob Weyand, the Republi-
can committee had requested the sur
viving founders of the Republican
party to Jointly sign "a patriotic ap-
peal" to the voters of the United
States to support Mckinley and Roose'
welt, Mr.. McCalmont being one Of the
13 survivors of the convention which
met in Pittsburg, February %, 1856,
and founded the Republican party.
The unequivocal reply follows:
"To Republican National Committee:
"Gentlemen--Yours of October 13,
with circular enclosed, came duly to
hand. am sorry to say cannot sign
the circular.
The political acts of Benton and
Calhoun are now history, and we. al
though old and feeble, live in the pres
ent. The usurpation and disregard of
the constitution and laws of the Ma
ton by William Mckinley are present,
are unblushingly avowed and were
indorsed by the aggregation of poll
ticians who have nominated him at
Philadelphia, and who assure us that
he will, IL elected, do in the future as
he has done In the past.
How has that been? He has been
over three years in power, and no ef-
fort has been made by him to control
the railroad, telegraph or other corpo-
rations. He has crippled the civil ser
vice law and permitted the interstate
commerce commission to be snubbed
and insulted until It Is useless. He
has said no word and done no deed
looking to the enactment of a grad
uated income tax, but every measure
that would tend to make the rich
richer and necessarily the poor poorer
has been sustained by him. He has
appointed commissions to whitewash

Why Ho Let Go.

He was a big Irishman and his
name was Pat. lie was fixing the
telephone wires and whistling to him
self AZ he worked. Just then a milk
boy came driving down the street
and Pat made fatal mistake. In
stead of attending to his own busi-
ness he tried to work and watch the
reckless driver at the same time.
The consequence was that he did
neither. What he did do was to lose
his footing. There was cry of
horror from the bystanders below,
echoed by lusty yell from above.
Every breath was suspended, and
then shout of relief went up from
the crowd. Pat had made frantic
dive from the wire and had caught
it.
Ilold on, Pat!" shouted some one
who knew him. "NYc will get You
down some how I"
"ltun for a mattress % yelled one
intellectual individual.
"Get ladder somewhere, bawlcd
another.
"Somcbody do somcthing!" com
manded a philanthropic looking indi-
vidual Indignantly. "Thc man can't
hold on forever! ! say, do some
thing! !" he shouted getting very red
in the face and dancing around ex-
citedly.
Only one man in the crowd did
not say anything was climbing
up the telephone pole.
"liold on, Pat, help is coming 2"
they shouted with one voice.
Then wave of horror swept over
the crowd. The man suspended be-
tween the earth and heaven suddenly
looscncd his hold and fell backward
striking the ground with a sicken-
ing thud.
ole is dead!" groancd the crowd,
and men covered their faces with the
sight.
But he wasn't. An Irishman has
as many lives as a cat. When Pat
came to and sat up dizzily, trying to
realize that lie wa, once more on
terra iirma, some one said to him:
What did You let go for, Pat !?
why didn't you hold on little while
longcr?"
"Be jabers," replied Pat, earnestly,
"oi was afraid the wire would
break !"

Sowing Grass seods.

There are two periods for sowing
grass and clover seeds.-in the
autumn and in the spring. The seeds
OF all hardy plants, among which
are embraced the various cloyers
Lucerne) and yetches are more
appropriately sown in the autumn
from the middle of September to the
last OF October-while those of a
tender character, embracing the ma
jority of the grasses, are more appro-
priately sown in the spring-Febru-
airy and March. The advantages of
fall sowing consists chiefly in giving
tho crop of grass or clover chance
to get a good start of the weeds and
native grasses, and secure to the
crop the advantage of the steady
moisture during the wet season,
wherein the plant may get we'll es-
established before droughty weather
occurs to retard the spread of the
roots.
Lucerne, especially, is much more
readily established when sown in tho
fall, and in starting out to establish
a meadow with this superior plant
we should prefer to wait until fall
rather than to attempt it in the
spring. The apparent loss of time
will be more than made up for the
end Of the second year.
In sowing grass or clover seed in
the spring the most Important thing
is to have the soil put in good condi-
ton by the liberal use of the harrow.
The soil should be narrowed until it
is thoroughly pulvorizcd, and after
sowing the seed they should be
pressed into the soil by running
roller over it. This is all sufficient
covering. The mistake is often made
OF covering the grass and clover
seeds too deeply. Ii is well to re-
member that crop that is well put
in is half made, and no pains should
be begrudgcd crop that is to con-
l'huc as many years rs an improved
pasture or meadow is designed to
last.

pastures and meadows, we need not

Preparing for Fall Wheat.

In nearly all cases the sooner the
plowing for fall wheat is commenced
after the harvest work is finished,
the better. The weather is usually
dry, and the longer the stubblc is
left mploughcd the harder the work
will be on the men and the teams.
1t will save time to have two good
shares at least with each plow, and
to keep them sharp, otherwise the
work will be much harder on the
men and the teams.
While deep, thorough plowing is
always the best, il is hardly advisa-
bic to deepen the blowing too much
at once. If the ground has always
been plowcd shallow heretofore, two
or three inches deeper is as much "a
should be done at one time. Next wear
two or three inches more of subsoil
can be turned up; but if too much
OF the subsoil is brought to the ser
lace at any one time, especially for
wheat, the results will not be salts.
factory. While there may be plenty
of plain food in the newly turned
subsoil, yet it will nearly always be
in an unavailable condition and will
need the action of the sun, rain and
frost to make it available.
One fairly deep thorough plowing
in good season will give better re-
suits than two skimmings. In manv
cases it will be more economical TO
use lG-inch plow with three horses,
as more and better work can be
done in this way at less cost than
with smaller plow and two horses.
Care should be taken in blowing
to turn everything on the serfacc
completely under. Stubblc, weeds,
stalks and trash of all kinds should
be turned under. While there may
not be very large quantity Of fcrti-
lizlng value in stubbe stalks, vet tho
mechanical effect is so beneficial
that it will always pay to turn every
thing Of this kind into the soil.
If the condition of the soil will
admit, the narrowing should be kept
up close with the blowing; but this
cannot always be done, and the
next best plan is to harrow as soon
as possible after good rain.
What is desired for wheat is n
reasonably firm seed bed underneath
ana three or four inches Of pulvcr-
iZcd soil on the scrfacc, and il will
pay to harrow, roll, drag or cultivate
until this condition is sccurod
There are two advantages in plowne
early ; one is that there is a better
opportunity of preparing the soil in
good condition, and the other is
that the material turned under will
have better opportunity to decay.
1T pays to take all reasonable pains
to prepare the soil in good condi-
tlon for wheat, and The safest plan
ls to commence in good season..
