Mr. Kelly is to the city, in regard to the
Office of Mayor, precisely what the Turkish
Pachas are to the Ottoman Empire in regard
to the Office of Sultan. Recently the world
has seen Sultans rise and fall like SO many
puppets in drama of marionettes Abdul
Azziz seemed disposed one day to have will
of his own, and down went the mighty
Abdul, Commander Of the Faithful i; Murad
" stepped in, but did not meet the occasion,
and down went Murad. Abdul Hamid now
holds the slippery place-for how many
days? None can answer but those
who know the plans Of the functionarisi
Of the royal palace, who are in the
shade behind the Sultan and make and
unmake, at their pleasure, the limp figure
which, when made, stands forth as the in-
carnation of all that is most absolute and
arbitrary in kingly rule the world around.
Thus behind our mayors, like whole oil
garchy Of pachas, stands John Kelly, and
converts ON office which should be posi-
ton of real power and Importance into
standing place for his puppets, the dull
procession of which need never fail unless
the breed of commonplace people with
thirst for official dignities should run out,
or the people should lose their patience at
the assumption that they are of no moro
consequence in this city than the stoid
populace of Turkey in Constantinople.

INDIAN DEpRxDATIoNs. The reported ut
tacks on white men in Wyoming Territory
by small bands of Indians point to
the necessity of vigorously enforcing
the policy of disarming all the tribes
whether friendly or hostile 1t is well
known on the frontier that good deal of
the dcsultory killing by Indians along the
border settlements is the work of what nre
known rs friendly Indians and is caused by
n desire to plunder. Under the existing
system it is very difficult to know the differ
ence between the red men who are our
friends and those who are not. It is, there
fore. prudent to carry the disarming of all
tribes as far as possible. When this salu-
tary system has been put in force for some
years it will be possible to turn the attention
of the Indians toward the cultivation Of hab-
its Of industry. So long as the young bucks
are permitted to swagger about the villages
armed to the teeth and playing the part of
"big braves" all attempts to make the Indian
q self-supporting laborcr must fail and now
and then small bands of aspiring youths will
try to enact the part of heroes by scalping
any unprotected or unwary white man or
woman whom nm evil fortune may have
thrown in their way.

There never was more successful trial of
party strength than that in the West in
which the country has felt SO deep an inter-
est for some days past. Never have we
known an election as to the results of which
people we're SO unanimous. Everybody is
happy, as everybody has fair reason to be,
for everybody won. With supreme delight,
with scarcely controllable exhilaration, the
enthusiastic democracy read in the brilliant
and pithy paragraphs of the Sun that the
democrats had carried both Ohio and Indi-
ana. With deep consciousness Of the value
of that now historical shirt the republicans
read in the Times that their party had carried
both Indiana and Ohio. With philosophic
calm the people who wanted to know the
real facts of the case read in the HERALD
that these important States were divided
between the two parties Thus every
body had just what he wanted; the
readers Of the HERALD had the news,
the readers of the Sun had o demo-
cratic victory, and the readers Of the
Times were delighted to know that the tidal
waves had run out. 1t is a perennial part of
the bitterness of life in ordinary circum-
stances that every splendid triumph is built
upon misfortune How glorious is the posi-
tion of the general who sends q bulletin of
his victory but what are the thoughts of the
beaten commander? The rowers who win,
the riAemen who score the highest number,
can none of them be happy but their less
fortunate competitors must be covered with
chagrin. Let us congratulate tho country
upon the happy discovery Of the arithmetic
man and the party organs as means of elm
mating this unpleasant condition from party
conflicts at least; for by their methods every
body can have victories and nobody be
beaten.

Mr.. j. s. Goe of Brownsville, Pa, writes
us that if "Justice," who questioned the
truth of his report of weights Of Aeeces,
will visit Brownsville, he will take him to
visit men who were present and helped to
shear the Sheep and know the truth Of the
report of the clip of last year and this year
also. He thinks it not q manly way to
write anonymously, charging deceit on one
who put his name to his words, especially
when he processes to know nothing about the
matter of the weight of heeces. He also
sends the names of seven parties who know
the facts, some Of them having helped
to shear the sheep.


We stated at the time the doubts Of Jus
tice" were printed shat we had no doubt Of
the truth Of Mr.. Goes statements. The
Aeeces reported were shorn in the dirt, of
course, and carried abundance Of oil and
yolk, while Justice has probably been accus-
toned to the Aceces of grade sheep, brook
washed, comparatively free from oil and
yolk, and which after all may weigh about
as much after cleansing as others, which
in the dirt weigh twice as much or more.

The management Of the agricultural part
of the Centennial appears to have been
out of joint from the beginning, and has gone
wrong OF course the commission was not
responsible for the fight Of the "dairy risg,"
in which it was charged that small minority
Of the executive committee of the dairymen
undertook to vote themselves int the Offices
of honor and emolument. The results have
been in every way bad Besides stirring up
bile enough to counteract the good influences
of the labors of all for advance in the
dairy art, the confidence in the dairy
exhibition of the centennial was un.
dermined, and the ten thousand dollar
model dairy building stands there substan-
TALLY empty.


Now it appears that an advisory board of
agriculture was appointed to assist in organ
izing the live stock show. The board were
to nominate judges whom the commission
promised should be appointed. After great
labor and time had been expended without
cost to the commission, the advisory board
sent in their list Of judges; three names for
each breed of horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
In making the appointments these nomina-
tions were entirely ignored, only one name in
the whole list being appointed.


The commission undertook to require
judges in agriculture to pay their own expen.
ses, while liberal allowances were made for
others but were forced to concede them
500 each. 1t is charged that many of the
judges of stock have no technical knowledge
Of the breed they will be called upon to ex'
anime.


The policy of giving frst, second and third
prizes, announced at first, and which would
draw a large competition, is abandoned, and
all good animals are to have a medal and
certificate Of merit. The number of thu
judges appointed is insufficient, only eigh
men, for instance, to examine all the cattle
of twelve different breeds.


The unfortunate precedent made by tn,
management in breaking faith with the ex
hibitors Of haying and harvesting machinery
who after preparing at great expense for
6eld-trial, were informed that no prizes woul,
be awarded for a field trial and no officia
field trial held, appears to have been fOllOwe
in regard to the stock exhibition.


Altgether there is great dissatisfaction, an
with good reason. The stock exhibition
likely to be unsatisfactory. 1t is unfOrtu
nate that the commission did not have in il
ranks practical farmers enough to take car
of the interests of agriculture. AlthOug
the exhibition is and Is likely to bo 80 vi
satisfactory as an exponent Of the advant


made in the century in farm stock and mt


chinery and dairying, and will thus lose


portion of the interest Of practical farmer
! there is still thousand times as much
\ be seen as one can examine in week, al


no one should fail To 90 who can.

Among the curious methods for the man
ufacture of fine cheese, the process adopted
by Mr.. Joseph Harrison of Derbyshire, Eng
land, will be Of interest The curds are
not scaded, no heat being applied after the
milk is set for coagulation. The expulsion
Of the whey, or its separation from the curds
before being put in the hoop and under press,
is being accomplished by process quite
different from anything known in practice
in this country. But what will be surpris-
ing, perhaps, to most of our factory cheese
under this process is of tho finest favor and
quality and sells in the best markets OF Eng.
land for "top prices" on par with English
cheddar, which ranges from twenty to thirty
shillings higher than American cheese.


Leading Points in its Manufacture.


The following are the leading points in
the process;


The milk when collected, is set at temper
ature of about so Fahrenheit, with sufH-
cient rennet to produce coagulation in from
forty to sixty minutes. The cheese is made
twice day-that is, from the morning
aud evenings milk separately. After coag-
ulation is perfected and when ready for
manipulation, the breaker or cutter is
passed up and down through the mass until
the curds are broken into small Jumps about
the size Of a hazelnut. The operation of the
breaking is at intervals of a few minutes.
After standing for the whey to form, press
ing plate pierced with holes and fitting the
tub is used and pressure applied to the
curds. Faucets are arranged in the tubs at
different nights, and through these the whey
is drawn of fl as it rises through the holes in
the pressure plate. The curds are left
under pressure in the tub until in the judg.
ment Of the operator it is ready for the next
process. This consists in cutting the outer
edge of the circular mass of curd into blocks
with an implement similar to a mason's
trewel. These blocks of curd are piled il
the center Of the tub and pressure again ap-
| piled until the whey is sufficiently expelled
when it is crushed up with the hands and
put to press. 1t remains in press five OF
six days, being turned from time to time
and receiving q fresh cloth. Then it is
taken out of press and rubbed with salt OF
the outside every day for a few days, oil
until it is sufficiently salted. The Cheeses
are from three and one-half to four inches
thick, and from Is to l6 inches in diameter
weighing about 30 pounds each.


Such are the general outlines Of the i'm
proved process for making Derby cheese
The cheese is rich, with u peculiar, clean
sweet flavor, and from its great excellence
commands the extreme prices we hav'
named.


1t will be seen that the method employed
for freeing the curds from whey differs ma
terially from the ordinary practice in thiI
country, and from it we learn the fact tina
the making of good cheese is not confined t.
one particular process, but that the same re
suit is reached by very many and divers
methods, and much doubtless is due to tn,
skill and judgment of the maker in all pro
cesses.-RurdL NeD Yorker.

If the injunction contained in the heading
of this brief article, is too late, in reaching
the readers of the FARMER, to be practically
available this season, it is not, the writer
hopes, too late for something to be done in
the direction Of remedying the grievOus err
ror, too often committed by all who have
land to cultivate, small in extent though it
may be,-that of allowing weeds, of various
name and nature, to mature and scatter their
seed and thus perpetuate themselves thous-
and fold.


A thousand fold, 1 said but thousand
plants from the seeds Of one well.ripened
is far less than truthful statement Of what
actually takes place. l applehend that
many of us would be greatly iastouished to
ascertain the actual number Of plants that
would or might spring forth next year from
one pig weed, allowed to ripen and scatter
its seed in garden or field this year.


1t is accepted as sound teaching that he
is public benefactor who makes two blades
Of grass grow where only one has grown before.
Not less does he benefit the world who allows
but few, if any, weeds to grow and mature
where many did before. 1t is most surpris-
ing to see the Indifference and neglect, in re-
gard to this important subject, even by those
who would feel offended if not allowed to be
ranked among good farmers.


Riding to Montpelier, recently, in com.
pany with friend, we passed field, evident
ly rich and fertile, in which it remained q
problem unsolved by US for some time,
whether anything was growing there but
weeds. Before the field was entirely passed
it became apparent that weeds aud potatoes
had been struggling, through heat and cold
through storm and sunshine, for the control
of the ground-for supremacy, and that thC
weeds were indisputably masters of the sit
uation. This, to be sure was an aggravated
aud rather unusual case; but an hours ride
in almost any direction, would show, even to
the casual observer, similar cases, only no
quite 50 much so.


Why will people be so shiftless or unwise
as to allow weeds to rob their crops Of their
legitimate nourishment2 Couldn't ge
round to it"-"had 80 much other work, haC
to let it CO." are some of the excuses behind
which they will attempt to hide themselves
when the condition of their unwed field
makes them ashamed. Then make YOU
field Of less extent. Cultivate only wha
you can take care of. Wage a war Of ex
termination against weeds. Let none escap,
to ripen their seed, and curse the grounC
through coming years. If any do escape
and carry their seed to the terminating stage
carry them from the ground-burn them
put them where the seed can get into man
ure that is to be used only as top-dressine
for grass land-throw the noxious things Of
the dock-do anything with them that shal
save your plowed fields from being curse,
by their progeny; and those who shall cul
tivate these fields, in coming years, "shal
rise up and call you blessed"


"The evil that men do, lives after them,
is most emphatically true with regard t
the evil-the sin of allowing weeds to ri
pen and scatter their seeds. Don't you b.
guilty Of it.

Hints ABOUT FAKM WoRK.-Haying being
finished, or nearly 80, our thoughts should
turn to improvements. 1t is time now to
replenish the muck heap top.dressiug, also,
should be attended to. All the manure
should be scraped up and spread upon the
young and tender grass. Those that have
commenced to use the moving machine for
the first year will see the necessity of clean
ing the moving Of stones and smoothing
down rough places. This can be done quite
well when one is top-dressing his ground,
by carrying a sledge or an old axe in the
wagon. Don't be afraid of using the man
ure from the hog-pen on the grass. 1t will
pay, and you will have a chance to make
more before spring. If attended to- we
should find it very much more profitable than
buying superphosphate or any other patent
fertilizer. Farmers can find plenty to do
The wood should be put in the shed or under
cover, that you did not get time to do in the
late spring The weeds that have sprung
up since haying should not be overlooked
There are brakes and briers in the pasture
which should be gathered for bedding fol
winter use, or for the cows as soon as they
come to the barn. have heard it remarked
that the smaller the business the better il
must be attended to. AS butter is at low
price we shall have to attend to feeding the
COWS in early fall. Those that have corr
planted for that purpose will find that the
pail is much better filled. Those that have
not will find that two quarts of bran fol
each COW will keep up the flow Of milk.

A Coon WHITEwAsH.-For outside work
the following can scarcely be surpassed
Slack one peck of new white lime with boil
ing water, covering during the process to
keep in as much OF the steam as possible.
Strain the liquid, and add to it half a peck
of salt previously dissolved in hot water one
to one and half pounds OF rice paste, and
half pound of finely ground whiting. Add
two and half gallons of hot water; stir
well and apply quito hot; half a pound ol
glue, dissolved and stirred in, will be a
great improvement. For barns, and indeed
any sort of buildings, and whether inside OF
outside, the foregoing is very superior
The only objectiOnal ingredient in the wash
is the salt, which has the property, as every
one knows, of attracting sheep, cattle, etc.
causing no little annoyance, especially when
at night the "belled critters" come prowlinl
about. As the salt is not an essential in
gredient, it were wise perhaps, in such in
stances, to omit it,-Ca1,ada Farmer.

Potato ground should be plowed and the
manure narrowed in in the fall, the sooner
the better, as the sod turned iunder in warm
weather decays more completely than that
plowed late. Let it be cross-plowed in
spring and dressing of plaster and ashes
applied in the hill. There is no other way
so sure to raise good crop of potatoes.

Lambs should be taken from the ewes, and
after they are weaned by three or four days
separation, both ewes and lambs being con-

sweet feed, or in the meadow, if absolutely
necessary, and fed little grain with great
regularity. Keep them growing we'll at
some rate if it is desired to make large, Wig

Dow Junior spoke OF ''cilaslng a mos

this by Irving Tod. He charged last
week that we had received 1000 acres
Of land from the St. Paul and Pacific
Railroad company as a free gift tor ad-
vertising the Main Line. We offered to
give Tod one half of all the land that he
could show we had so received Instead
OF availing himself of this generous offer
he darts off upon another lie utterly in
consistent with the first 1t is doubtful
whether his hide and tallow are worth
the chase. But here goes:


He now says we have no land what
ever in Stevens county, and adds:


"And for every acre which he proves to be
so owned by him We will donate dollar out of
the seven hundred said by hlm to have
been made by US in selling him out six years
ago."


We answer that an examination of the
books of the company will show that we
have,-in our own right and in our own
name,-entered and now own over 5000
acres of land near Douglas in Stevens
county, paid for with bonds which we
bought ourself in February last in Hol-
land, at the rate of $1.O0 per acre, the
said land being worth now three times
the price paid. or $1,000 more than
COST


And we hereby call upon Irving Tod
to pay over the sum of$7OO. promised by
him, to the different churches of the city
Of Hastings, in equal shares to each, to
be used by them for purposes OF charity,
