Says the Troy Times* —“Even the colleges have caught the ground' swell. Yale this year graduates 104 Republicans, 40 Democrats and 6 Prohibitionists. Formerly most college graduates were free traders and therefore naturally inclined toward the Democratic part} 7 , though They were quite likely to drift into the Republican after a little practical experience- But free trade doesn't ‘.‘go” now, even with college boys.”

The objection most frequently urged against water-works in Rensselaer is that the town is already so well supplied with such excellent water, from eeemicgly inexhaustible wells in the rock, and that these wells are now so quickly and cheaply made, that comparatively few persons would use water-works water in their houses, for domestic purposes. This fact, it is urged, not only greatly diminishes the necessity for water works, as compared with other towns, having a worse water supply; but will also have the effect of greatly curtailiug the number of paying patrons of the water-works, and so make the plant a greater burden to the general tax-payers. There is a good deal of force in this argument and we suggest that before the time for the vote on the waterworks question arrives, that a careful canvass be made, to ascertain ■bout how many responsible parties stand ready to agree to take water regularly, if the works are established. If it is theu found that the probable private patrons are as few in number as the opponents of the improvement balieve, it may be found the part of wisdbm to propose to the people, at this time, a much less extensive plant than has heretofore been talked of. Only extensive enough, in fact, to afford good fire protection, and water for sewer flushing, leaving the matter of water for domestic and lawn purposes until a greater population makes the demand moredmperative.

I. Destroying tbe Hessian Fly:— Owing to tbe prevalence and d©ajructiveneas of tbe Hessian fly this year concerted efforts should hw put forth to prevent a recurrtnee of its ravages upon tbe next Wheat crop. In order to prevent a serious attack of “the fly” the following measures should be

adopted:— 1 Thoroughly burn all fly-in-fested wheat stubble in which there is not a stand of young clover or grass. * 2. Prepare very early a border one or two rods wide, around each field-of wheat, and sow the same in wheat in August. 3. Turn this border under very late, using a jointer, following with roll and harrow, and then sow the entire field. If these precautions are carefully and generally observed by farmers the Hessian fly will not seriously damage the next wheat crop. United effort is necessary to be effective. II Fall Sowing of Clover Seed: — The intense drouth has quite generally destroyed the spring seeding of grass and clover. Unless a “catch” of grass is secured this season, the crop rotation will be thrown out of joint, the supply of hay and pasture, noxt year, cut short, and soil fertility may be lost through leaving the ground bare. The following suggestions are made in the full belief that under average weather conditions a “fall catch” of clover and grass seed may be secured. 1. Burn the stubble to destroy all rubbish that would interfere with the perfect preparation of the seed bed. 2 Harrow repeatedly, with a disk or spading harrow, until the soil is throughly loosened to the depth of two or three inches. 3. Pulverize the soil very finely with a fine tooth harrow. 4. As soon as the soil becomes throughly moistened, sow the clover seed, harrow it lightly, and lieavily roll the ground. The timothy or other grass seed may be sown latei, say about tho usual time of sowing wheat.

If the work is well done at the proper time a “catch” is reasonably certain. The urgent need of combatting the Hessian fly, and the value of the clover crop as a soil renewer and forage plant, should induce the farmers to act promptly and unitedly in their efforts to repair the damage already sustained and prevent further loss.

W. S. Sanders, who has been here with a feather renovater for the past few weeks, left this week for Rensselaer where he will engage in the same business. Sanders is one of the kind of fellows that when he comes among you* you want to keep him. His work has been first-class and we believe he could always secure a patronage here if there was any to do. He will return again and has made a reputation that will secure him a welcome and business. It pays to deal with the people as Sanders does so that they are always glad to see you come back.—Yeedersberg News.
