T. D. Gassaway, commonly known
az "Don," the Fusion candidate for
register of deeds, 10 native of Mis-
souri,, where he was raised on a
farm near Cambridge. For the past
seventeen years he has resided in
this county near Sherwin Junction
where he has been engaged az a
stock raiser and farmer. He denies
that he is an agricultural who
farms the farmer, but insists that
he is in fact a farmer-a man who
farms the farm. Don is one of those
big-hearted, good-natured, broad
minded fellows, with whom it 10 a
pleasure to meet, and these quail
ties, together with his natural en-
thusiasm in political matters have
placed him well toward the top in
the fusion ranks of this county. In
1899 he was chosen by the state SEN
ate as sergeant-at.arms and served
with credit to himself and the par
ty. So well liked was he that the
employees of the senate presented
him with fine gold watch, chain
and charm. Since serving in this
position he was for two years chair
man of the fusion executive COM
mittee and az such he virtually had
charge of the county campaign.
Don Gassaway has kept himself
poor working for other fusion can
didates in past years and he will re-
ceive a handsome majority at the
polls.

The management of the Santa Fe announces that daily service of their palatial train, the Cali fornia Limited (now semi week ly), will be resumed carly in Nov ember, between Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the time schedule will be some what shortened. Being the sev- enth season it needs little adver- tising among regular patrons who have contracted the Santa Fe habit and won't go any other way, but for the benefit of those travellers who are going to Cal ifornia for the first time this year, or who have never seen the land of entertainment traversed by the Santa Fe through New Mexico and Arizona, the advertising de- partment of that road is prepar- ing a new pamphlet about the California Limited, and is also inaugurating an extensive cam paign in the newspapers and magazines,
 New equipment is being built, to include luxurious compart- ment and all drawing-room Pull mans.
 The drawing-rooms of the "seven State-room, two drawing room" cars are to be finished in a Renaissance design in vermilion wood and marquetry; the up- holstery is green figured plush, and the rooms have Wilton car pet of corresponding color. The state-rooms are finished in a va liety of harmonious designs-co- cOa wood, Cuban mahogany, English oak and maple are used as finishing woods, with the finest of carpets and hangings to cor respond.
 The ceilings are painted in co ors to correspond with the up- holstering and woodwork of the rooms; all of the rooms have complete toilet arrangements, with hot and cold w ter, and there Is also a separate toilet room for general use at one end of the car.

Value of ADDIe Pomace.

Apple pomace is usually held in light
esteem. Many think it not worth the
hauling. 1t is sometimes used as 4 fer
tiliZer, occasionally as a feed for pigs
Or COWS, but it frequently goes to waste
behind the cider mill. A minor expert
ment made in 1889 at the Vermont EX-
pertinent Station indicated that it's
feeding value was about equal to that
of good silage. Inasmuch as the meth
DDS of that test were open to criticism,
it seemed worth while to repeat the
trial upon a more extended scale. Ac-
cordingly several tons of pOmace were
obtained from nearby cider mill and
ensiled for preservation. The results
secured were as follows: l. From one
to three per cent less milk and butter
was made when the pomace was fed
than when corn silage was eaten. =.
The COWS gave somewhat better milk
on pomace than on silage. The diff
ference amounted to about O.20 per
cent. g. From three to four per cent
more product was made on the unit or
dry matter of the pomace ration than
that of the silage ration. There seem
ed to be no i'll effects arising from the
feeding of fifteen pounds or less daily.
1t is but fair to say, however, that
the milk of these seven COWS was
merged with that Of the entire herd.
Had pomace been fed to the entire herd
in these quantities, it might have af-
fected the quality of the milk or the
butter. The present experiment does
not afford data upon this point. 1t is
expected to make observations thereon
during the coming year.-New England
Farmer.

The Chinch Bug,

The Ohio Experiment Station reports
that the chinch bug rs especially fond
Of millet and similar grasses, and
where wheat fields are infested, it will
be we'll to sow a narrow strip of millet
between them and other crops. A strip
Of millet two or three yards wide may
be sown by the side Of the corn field
next to infested wheat or oats, and
when the bugs have taken possession
of it the millet may be plowed under
with a jointer plow and the ground
narrowed and rolled, thus burying the
bugs. Another method is to pillow a
deep furrow across their tracks, as
they travel from field to field; the bugs
in this furroW will have difficulty in
getting out, and may then be killed
by sprinkling them with kerosene emul-
sion. This may also be used where the
bugs have attacked the outer rows of
corn, using a spray pump and throwing
it with sufficient force to wash them
off the corn.

Pasture for Growing Hogs.

On every farm there is usually 4
small piece of grass land which may
be fenced at small expense, ana if it
can be shaded in some manner such a
plot will be just the place for the grow
ing pigs. A portion of an old orchard
may often be fixed in the manner sug-
gested, and the pigs will thrive in such
a place. If the grass growth IS scanty
try the plan of cutting grass from 9th
er portions and throwing it to the pigs.
Keep them mainly on the usual sum-
mer rations given when in the pen and
furnish all the fresh clean water plac-
ed in such a manner that they cannot
get into it and wallOW. This plan is
simple one, and easily carried out and
will result in more thrifty pigs than
if kept in the pens during the warm
weather

Feeding Green Mi1Iet.

Green millet may be fed as freely as
any green food. Millet hay that con-
tafns ripe or partly ripened seeds must
be fed with care, especially to horses,
as it has an injurious effect upon the
kidneys. Millet is best sown broad
cast; a drill puts it in too deeply. Sue
cess with millet depends on getting an
even, quick termination, and for this Is
needed a shallow, finely prepared seed
bed. moist enough and warm enough
for termination.

New Workers Like Ice Cream.

Statistics are not available, but we,
as a nation, are addicted to ice cream
to an extent almost beyond belief.
One company in New York, the larg-
est and most important in the coun-
try, sells something like 100000
quarts a day. It's capital stock is only
$40 5000. and all of its officers and di-
rectors are millionaires. Eighteen or
twenty other companies do a large
business, besides which there are
numberless confectionery shops which
make their own and dish it out in
small way over the counter. Possibly
the daily consumption in Greater New
York is 100000 quarts, and the aver
age price is 80 cents to the consum-

Protection Against Insects.

For the protection of melons, squash
and cucumber vines against insects an
excellent plan, for a small plot, Is to
cover the vines with mosquito netting.
A cheap frame, made of lath, will
serve we'll for supporting the netting.
A few plants in a garden may be pro-
tected by looking them over carefully
once a day, destroying the bugs by
hand picking, and dropping them into

Summer Soil Cultivation,


The method of summer soil cultiya-
ton for conserving the moisture insthe
soil brings results that are profitable.
AS rule, such cultivation Should be
of the surface soil only, rarely. more
than two inches deep; but it should be
remembered that this applies only to
soils that have been well worked and
plowed to a good depth before the seed
was soWn. A shallow plowed soil, or a
field that is inclined to bake after
heavy rains, needs more than the shall
low soil cultivation, at least for num-
Der of times after each rain. This plan
may destroy some Of the roots of the
plants growing near the surface, but
this is better than to permit the soil
to remain hard for any considerable
depth. Whenever the soil has been
sufficiently loosened after it has become
hard, then the shallow cultivation
should be put in practice again. On
the other hand, as first stated, the
deeper cultivation should not be done
unless the condition of the soil requires

Varieties of Garden Plants.

In the year book for 1901, issued by
the Department of Agriculture, it is
stated that there were catalogued in
1900 no less than 6S5 nominal varieties
of cabbage, $50 Of lettuce, 500 Of bush
beans, $40 of sweet corn, 800 each Of
cucumbers and table beets, 255 Of pole
beans and almost as many others Of
other vegetables. Of course this In
cludes many varieties which differ from
others only by having the addition Of
growers name or some designation in
tended to be descriptive, as 'improv-
ed" early" ''late," large" Or other
addition which is intended to show a
difference from the others under the
old name. The department lately is
sued as bulletin "a List of American
Peppers" which enumerates 124 varie-
ties. Among so many how may one
learn to choose the best? Undoubted-
ly many of them differ in name only,
and perhaps some growers use more
care in selecting the seed stock or in
keeping varieties pure than do others,
and by the use of their name may de-
sire to gain a reputation, but the above
list might we'll be divided by ten, and
still show all the different types, and
probably all really desirable varieties.

Charcoal is not a medicine, strictly
