ture to be sent down the streams grad-
ually and steadily.
—It is a sure way to have disease
among the hogs when they must rely
upon slop as drinking water. They
require pure water the same as do oth-
er animals, and when deprived of it
will not thrive.
—Dampness injures corn fodder, and
it is useless to leave shocks in the field
unless the fodder can 'be used soon.
Freezing of well-cured fodder does it
no injury, but the fodder must be dry.
It it gets wet it will soon deteriorate in
value.
—Pumpkine must not be left out un-
til they are frozen, but should be stored
in the barn without delay. They are
equal to any food that can be given
cows in winter, as they serve to pro-
vide an agreeable change of diet, and
at a small expense.
—Of all meats mutton is the least
affected with infectious diseases is the
most easily digested of all, and all over
the world people are eating more of it.
Not taking account of the wool, mut-
ton can be grown cheaper than beef.
They must pay, or flock masters
would not keep them.
—When old grass lands are to be
broken up the plowing should be done
in autumn, in order that the vegetable
matters of the sod may undergo some
decomposition in time to meet the
wants of the spring crop, and that the
goil may be exposed to the ameliora-
ting influence of the winter frosts.
—Some crops, such as potatoes,
that have been but slightly attacked
by disease may communicate such dis-
ease to the whole bin of potatoes
should the spores of the fungi be car-
ried on the tuber. For that reason all
roots should be free of dirt or washed
clean before storing them away for
winter.
—Iarmers are disposed to defer un-
til spring much of the work that could
be done before that season arrives. On
the opening of warmer weather all the
work must be hurried and a dozen jobs
seem to beready for the farmer to per-
form at the same time, which delays
planting to a later period than should
be the case.
—Squashes for winter can be kept
in the cellar on shelves, and, as some
varities keep well during the winter,
they should be plentiful for use during
the cold season, The cellar should be
dark, and ihe squashes handled care-
fully, so as not to injure them, and
they shou!d have small spaces between
them, s0 as to not touch.
—The objection to seeding down an
orchard to grass is that it takes from
the soil the moisture needed by the
trees, and when allowed to grow close
to the trees seems to choke them.
Clover does not have this effect, nor
(does it usually make a rank growth
under the trees. It rather tends to
retain moisture by its shade.
—Onions sets intended for next win-
ter can be easily kept in good. condi-
tion by spreading them in thin layers
on the floor of the barn or garret.
Should they become frozen during the
winter do not disturb them, as hand-
ling them is detrimental. It does not
injure them to freeze if not thawed
very suddenly.
—The garden is left for the last work
on the farm, and where weeds have
grown up they remain until they die
down and cover the ground, making
the garden an unsightly plot. By
raking over the garden and burning
the refuse not only will the ground be
cleared and many weed seeds destroy-
ed, butthe harboring places of insects
will aleo be removed.
—The loess of grain on a farm from
rats is quite an item, as they destroy a
portion other than that consumed.
The corncrib should be made rat-proof,
and all harboring places made disa-
greeable to them. They can be pre-
vented to a certain extent by traps,
poison and other devices, but the best
method, if possible, is to provide no
harboring places for them.
—It is best to dig sweet potatoes in
the forenoon, on a dry day, allowing
them to dry a few hours, and then store
where the temperature is even. If
clean and free from dirt, and packed
in sand, chaff or oats, they will keep
well. The temperature should be 60
to 65 degrees, in a dry place and
if any of them begin to rot they should
be removed, as the others may be af-
fected also.
—1If the well is dry dig it deeper and
it will not be dry until a drought again
oceurs that is longer in duration than
this. The time tgdig a well is when
there is & dry seacon, as one must then
go down deeper to reach water. The
best wells for providing pure water
that is free from surface drainage are
those known as ‘‘drive wells,” wind-
mills or force pumps being ueed for
raising the whiter.
—Ia localities where the drought
has interfered with the seeding of
wheat this year there will be less
clover seeded down next spring, as the
wheat fields in this region are, as «
rule, seeded to clover early in the
epring. The crimson clover crop will
also be affected by the drought, as the
fall seeding has been simply a lose of
seed with many. Farmers who will
take good care of their corn fodder
and make it go as far as possible dur-
ing this winter, and thus use less hay,
will probably learn next season that
they will make no mistake in carefully
storing their fodder.
them entailed on the
amounted to twice the loss sustained by
the employers. The direct results may
confirm this statement, but the wide-
spread influence of the apparent small
percentage of successful strikes, and
even of those which were not successful,
certainly do not demonstrate the utter
failure of the strike asa last means of
redressing an industrial grievances
The successful strike in one establish-
ment alone carries its beneficial in-
fluence into every other establishment
of that particular trade, and perhaps
carries a lesson into all trades, while un-
successful strikes, though conferring no
immediate advantage on either party to
the strife, serves asa useful guide to
the wide-awake employer in preventing
future dissatisfaction among the em-
ployees. Viewed in this light, it will
be seen that strikes have not been so
distasteful to the strikers as Commis-
sioner Wright’s report would seem to
indicate.— Philadelphia North Ameri-

J. J. Van Alen.
J. J. Van Alen, the New York mil-
lionairs who has been sued for $200,000
for stealing another man’s wife, is about
50 years old. His appearance is notable
and seeing him for the first time almost
any one would be tempted to inquire his
name and position. ather under the
medium height, he is well proportioned,
and his attire, of English manufacture,
perfect. He has a handsome and pleas-
ant face, a full brown beard, worn as the
Prince of Wales wears his, and hair,
once golden, parted accurately in the
center. He is extremely particular
about his dress, and bas many fads.
One of these is to colléct canes and um-
brellas. Of the former he posses 79 and
his stock of the latter numbers 68. He
wants no gloss upon his linen, and a valet
who once permitted him to get into a
shirt with a bosom rather smoother than
it perhaps should have been lost his
place. In 1894 it was reported that Mr.
Van Alen was going to marry Mrs.
Henry Allen, of Bristol, R. I., but the
rumor died a natural death. When in
New York Mr. Van Alen makes his
headquarters at the Union club. In
England, for some years prior to 1893,
he kept eight splendid hunters, but he
sold them about the time he was named
as ambassador, the animals averaging
200 guineas each.

Increase In Salaries.
An increase of almost $350,000 in the
past year, almost entirely for salaries, is
shown in the expenses of the state de-
partment at Harrisburg. This enlarge-
ment has been made in the short time
that the Hastings administration has
been in office. Among the items of in-
crease that we might notice are those of
the salaries of the secretary of internal
affairs and the auditor general. Each
of these has been raised from $6,000 to
$8,000 per annum. The superintendent
of the public grounds at Harrisburg,
whose labors are mainly of & nominal
character, gets $6,000 a year. Form.
erly the man who held the position got
$2,800. But this is not all. The su-
perintendent of public buildings and
grounds has been provided with a book-
keeper—$2,000 a year—a gardener—
$2,000 a year—and an assistant gard-
ener—§$1,800 a year.
Is it not a shame that the people of
this commonwealth should have been
imposed upon in this outrageous man-
ner? There was not the shadow of an
excuse for the increases made in these
salaries by the legislature. The pay
was already sufficiently high to secure
good service. Is it not time for the
people to rebel against Republican ras-
cality ?
“Tankage.”
“Do you know what tankage is?”
asked a Portland (Me.) customs inspec-
tor of an Easten Argus reporter the
other day.
“Something to do with a tank ?’
“Guess again.”
“Give it up ; what is it 7”
“Well, I didn’t know before to-day,”
continued the inspector ; “but I was
down aboard of a vessel to-day a coaster
bound to the eastward, and was in-
formed by the captain that he had 800
bags of tankage abroad. Then he ex-
plained that tankage is nothing more
por less than dried blood. It is pro-
cured at the abattoirs at Boston and
other ports and taken to Boothbay,
where it is used in the manufacture of
fertilizers

ease.
Thousands upon thousands of Hindus
make this long and weary pilgrimage
and during the height of this gathering,
the city teems with natives of all condi-
tions. Some make avow to measure the
whole length of their pilgrimage, hun-
dreds of miles, perhaps, by the length of
their bodies. This they effect by lying
flat on the ground, making a mark where
their head comes, rising and toeing this
mark and then lying down again, and =o
until they arrive at their destination.
Others carry weights; others gall their
flesh with chains. Indeed, the means
aopted for self mortification are count-
ess.
The bathing is conducted on remarka-
ble lines. The sacred river itself is by
no means inviting. Within a few yards
of the devotees, who are drinking of the
holy stream or bathing in it, vultures
may be seen preying on human corpses
that float down Yet this very water is
taken away by men in various vessels,
pn from long poles decorated
with] tiny flags, and sold far away up
country at many annas, and even rupees
for a single drop, so deep and strong is
the Hindu’s faith in the water of this
sacred river.
: S—
Sensible Miners.
In all parts of the coal fields adjacent
to Altoona, in Cambria and Clearfield
counties, it seems that the miners are
averse to striking at the present time.
A tew men went out, but most of these
have gone back to work. The move-
ment so far can hardly be called a strike
and, such as it has been, its backbone
has been broken. Meetings of miners
have been held at different places, at
which the situation was reviewed. As
a result of these conferences the workers
in the mines have wisely concluded that
to cease work at the present time wouid
be most disastrous for them, as it would
also be to the mine owners and to the
public in géderal.
We believe that the men who work in
the bowels of the earth should sell their
labor for the highest price that they can
get for it. We do not wish them or any
body else made the victim of oppression.
But we are cqnvinced that striking at
the. present time will not help the min-
ers. Cold weather is at hand and we
must deplore any movement that would
bring destitution and suffering to min-
ers’ families. ’

——As for many years the post-office
department last year failed to make both
ends meet. In round numbers the out-
go was $86,800,000 and the income $77,-
000,000— the difference being $9,800,-
000. The receipts increased $1,900,000,
but expenditures increased $2,465,000.
The heaviest item of expenditure is rail-
road mail transportation, which
amounts to $26,430,000 The salaries
of the postmasters and their clerks
amount to $25,500,000. The free deliv-
ery service cost over $12,000,000 as a
matter of curiosity it is interesting to
look at the figures of a hundred years
ago. In 1795 the expenditures of the
postal department were $117,893, while
the receipts were $160,620. A small
business then, but the balance on the
right side.
