AGRICULTURAL.

V Eastern farmer recently an* Bounced his conversion to ensilage, and announced, his intention of immediately building a “cyclone.”— Chicago Jour uai. The chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington says that the Boil best adapted for the growth of feorghum for sugar appears to be a Bandy loam. An authority says there are $1,900,000,000 invested in the 5,000,000 miles of fences in the United States, and that they have to be renewed on an average once in fifteen years. Thomas R. McConnell, of Scott county, lowa, soaks his wheat in vitriol tyater for twenty-four hours before sowing as a cure for smut. He uses one pound of vitriol to twenty bushels of wheat. Very careful experiments made in New York last season, show that the flat culture of potatoes produces the finest tuber and the largest yields. The best results followed the Dutch method of planting, which consists in keeping the surface level, planting a single eye in a place, covering it six inches deep and allowing but a aingle stalk to grow in a hill, which are a foot apart each w»y» A correspondent of the Farmer®* Review has practiced during several Winters the plan of keeping apples in dry sand, poured into the filled barrel* after storing in the cellar, and finds it B “decided improvement” on any other ever tried, the fruit remaining till late spring "as crisp and apparently as fresh as when first gathered. ” He does likewise with potatoes, and uses the saihß Band year after year. The practice of some of the best farmers now is to keep pigs through the surnper on green food, cut and carried tcOo pens, with a little grain, and What mftk can be spared after butter making. Spring pigs are thus made to Weigh 200 pounds at 7 months old, and, except in the last month, they get little grain. The best timm to sell such pig* Is at the beginning’ll cold weather, usually in October. The Indiana Farmer says one of its subscribers kept a record of the time* employed in cultivating fourteen acre* of casn last season in the old-fashioned way, and finds he gave about two days to the acre. The yield was 800 busnels, over fifty-seven bushels to the acre. He estimated the value of his crop at *320, and the labor expended on it at *l2O, and, deducting expenses, he Claim * profit of *l4 par acre. Pri i pent Ohmer, of the Dayton Hortii ural Society, says he knew a man v , made a great success with an sere oi vo of strawberries, gathering from I ity to thirty bushels a day, and he so elated with his success that, oi. enlarging his fields, he said “he would gather 100 bushels a day or bust.” He “busted.” His single acre Was well attended to; his five acres were necessarily more or less neglected, This scrap of history has been many times repeated— Chicago Journal. A farmer vouches for the following as a prevention of chicken cholera: “Take a tight barrel, saw it in two in the middle, then wash it out good with hot water, so that there is not a particle of bad flavor in it. Then take two quarts of fresh lime and slack it, filling the tub or half barrel full of fresh water; when slacking, add one pound of alum to it and stir it good; let it stand until the sediment has settled and the liquor is clear, and it is ready for use. When using it, take one pint of the clear liquor and add it to one pail of fresh water, and give your fowls to drink during summer months.”

An exchange, speaking of the Central Ohio farmers, says: “They abandoned our oldsfogy, antiquated way of allowing every farmer to work out and fool away his own tax v l '.. ,at;g to his Own notion. There is & r mey ta.., md the money is used by the lowest responsible bidder who agrees io keep tho roads in repair. At one time there were a good many toll roads, but the people are gradually baying them out, so that all roads shall be free. They go much further. They often tax the land a mile or more back from a certain road up to as high as $8 an and make a good pike. This tax is in most cases very willingly paid. Several men assured me thal it raised the price of land from 25 to 50 per cent. They could not be induced to go back to dirt roads, using a foot or so of gravel on a well-graded ■foundation. It is certainly a great treat to live where the roads are good Ihe year round; and a farmer is thereby brought much nearer his neighbors, nearer market and the rest of ths world.” Whsn Baby waa atek, we gave her Caatoria, Whan aha waa a Chad, aba cried for Caatoria, When she became Mice, aha dime to Caetoria, Whsa eke had Children, oho gave them Caetoria,

For What Are They Indicted.

The twelve men who have been indicted for conspiracy in the Marion County election cases by the Federal court Grand July have not been indicted for conspiring to change the votes on the tallvsheets. They have b x en indicted, under a theory conceiveiTby Judge Woods for conspiring to cause inspectors of election to omit to perform 1 heir duty, '«hich was to safely keep their? respective tally-sheets, poll books and certificates. The question of changing the votes on the tally-sheets, the real crime, is not in the case at all. It was necessary, in order to bring the accused within the alleged jurisdiction of the Federal court, and to avoid clashing with the opinions of Judge Gresham in the Perkins contempt proceedings, that there should hnve been tliir straining of vhe law. But the jury, acting under the specific mandate of Judge W oods, could do nothing less than return the indictments. And what is the consequence ? They have indicted eleven Democrats of prominence against some of whom there has never before been a shadow of suspicion that they were involved, not even on the part of themselves.— But the jury, which was composed chiefly of Republicans, could not blind its eyes to the fact that the most conspicuous offender under the theory of Judge Woods was no less an individual than Genera James R. Carnahan, chairman of the Republican Couaty Executive Committee. It was he who had signed the circular from the committee to the Republican judges of election directing tnem to obtain possession of the tally sheets, although as a lawyer, he must have known that the inspector was the legal custodian. Upon what theory the jury failed to indie* General Carnahan’s fellow-conspirat-ors, we can not conceive. He wroe the circular as chairman of the Republican ExecutivefCommittee. Ji nd who were the members of that committee advising and counselling this illegal act. Their names are as follows: Dr. S. H. Mapes, W. O. Patterson, Peter f. Br ce, John B. Elam, Joseph Forbes, 8. F, Gray, Dr. E. 8. Elder, Edward J. ( onway, John R. Leonard. It would seem that thece persons were as guilty as .General Carnahan. As the jury appeared disposed to drag in every Democrat in sight, we would like to know why it treated these Republicans so kindly. And then again, why did it not indict the Republican judges who obeyed the order of the Carnahan circular. There were five or six of them, among them the Republican judge in the Thirteenth Ward who jumped out of the window election night with the tally-sheets. It appears to have made a good deal of difference with the jury whose ox was gored,—lndianapolis Sentinel.

Cleveland.—“ President Cleveland is good enough, for me.” Such were the words of a Republican in this city the other day when asked who his choice is for President in 1888. Such is the sentiment of hundreds of conservativ republicans throughout + he country today. A gentleman of decided political views was recently heard to say: “I have been a republican since the organization of the party, and api to-day. But 1 say to you that Clev land has made the best President the United States has had in twenty years, and 1 will vote for him if he is nominated.” —Lafayette Journal. Mi s Edna Dean Proctor will offer a poet’s tribute to “The Lady of the White House,” in the July number of The American Magazine. Orth Stein, of Lafayette, Ind., who has been in jail at El Paso, Texas, for seveial months was released on bail lost week.
