FARM NOTES.
~The ideal soil for celery is reclaimed
peat bogs or muck lands. These are com-
posed almost entirely of vegetable matter.
—A good grafting wax is made of four
pounds rosin, one pound of tallow and one
pound wax. Melt all together over
a slow fire, and when melted pour into a
vessel of cold water and pull as if with
shoemaker’s wax. When wanted for use
soften with warm water.
—1I hope that a good many of my friends
will try Barletta, White Queen and possi-
bly White Portugal, says a writer in Prac-
tical Farmer,for sowing in open ground dur
ing August or early in September, the seed-
lings to be lefs outdoors during the winter
to make early green onions for bunching.
I have even she Yellow Dutch thus started
and wintered do well and give a big crop
of very early bunching onions.
—Dig away the earth around the peach
trees to the depth of one foot and look care
fully for borers. Then swab the trunk a
foot helow and above ground with thick
whitewash, returning the soil to the tree
and banking up six inches, or a foot above
the level of the ground, leaving the tree in
that condition until spring. As the moth
lays her eggs near the level of the ground
she will begin where the earth is banked
up, and when the embankment is removed
the work of destroying the borers will be
easier. Whitewash may be beneficially
used on all parts of the tree.
—A disease known as apple tree canker
has, during the past two or three years,
been attracting the attention of students of
plant diseases. The canker usually pre-
sents the following characteristics : It at-
tacks limbs of one to three or more inches
in diameter; the diseased part may be from
a few inches to two or more feet in extent,
is usually more or less swollen and its sar-
face is covered with roughened or cracked
bark darker in color than normal. The
disease is believed to be caused by fungus.
The best means of prevention are said to be
to avoid as much as possible all injury to
the bark, to prune properly and to paint
wounds with an antiseptic solution.
Frequent dividends on the farm should
be the object of every farmer. It has long
been a maxim that‘‘harvest comes but once
a year,’’ which is true where certain crops
are specialties, but the fact is that there is
no occupation that will give as frequent
dividends on the investment as farming if
judicious management is used. When
farming is made to include everything that
can he produced on a farm, there is not a
week in the year that returns will fail to
come in. Beginning with the early spring
the vegetables will be dividend producers,
to be followed by fruit and field crops.
Even in winter the cows will contribute
every day with milk, from which butter
may be sold, whiie the well-filled egg bas-
ket can be marketed nearly every day in
the year. The sheep send early lambs to
the stall, followed by mutton and wool,and
from the swine early shoats and late porks
are obtained. In fact at the present day,
with improved implements, ‘*harvest time’’
is every season of the year, andthe divi-
dends are constant.
—A¢t the Hatoh experiment station of
Massachusetts asparagus rust made its ap-
pearance last season during the summer
and early fall. It does not occur so early
or so severely on clay soils as on lighter
soils. The uredo spore stage occurs in the
latter part of August on beds of clay soil.
Facts observed during several seasons
suggest a possible remedy for the rust, at
least in the starting of young plants. The
young plants rust much more easily than
the old ones. There is evidence that dew
plays an important part in asparagus rust
infection. Plants grown under trees or in
‘any place where they were shade with some
covering scarcely showed the rust, whereas
those plants just outside the covering of
limbs might be badly infected.
It plants can be started under cheescloth
covers before setting them into permanent
beds, it is thought that it would be an ad-
vantage and that the covering of cheese-
cloth would be as effective as the tree cov-
ering inkeeping off the dew, rendering them
less susceptible to rust. :
Favorable results in spraying were ob-
tained by the application of paris green to
a young bed. In this instance a large bed
was treated twice for beetles.
Daring the summer,about Aug. 18th, the
uredo stage of the rust commenced toshow
somewhat on the plants, and at this time
one-half the bed was treated with paris
green early in the morning, when the plant
was covered with dew. This treatment
seemed to arrest the outbreak of the rust
to quite a remarkable extent.
This method of treating is a very cheap
one,as paris green is not expensive and the
ease with whieh it cam be put on makes
the application far less expensive than
spraying with certain other fungicides.
—A note concerning coal ashes, ashes
and charcoal. The writer says that he has
always used coal ashes for making side-
walks and supposed them good for nothing
else. *‘I tried what yon recommended on
a small part of our garden, forking them
into my clay soil, and I also placed coal
ashes, as you recommended, about young
trees. I must confess that I am reaping
great benefit, but I cannot understand
where the benefis comes from.’’ The ben-
efit is in the fact that coal ashes make your
soil more porous, and therefore more capa-
ble of receiving and retaining moistureand
fertilizing elements from the atmosphere.
A well aerated soil is all the time bhecom-
ing a well enriched soil. You know very
well that a hard compacted clay is little
better than a solid stone for your plants
and trees. The principle is just the same
as that of aerating with a cultivator. The
business of mulching,cultivating and light
ening the soil is all one. The mulch that
you put around your trees should occasion-
ally be forked in, and renewed with fresh
mulch,removing at the same time all weeds
Do this once a year at least. For trees in
a garden this is better than plowing, be
cause it does not tear the roots, nor break
the little fibres that are feeding the trees.
The same care should be taken in the vine-
yard, If I had a few vines I would not
plow them at all, but would mulch them
heavily with coal ashes and with fertiliz-
ing material. Then I would fork them
carefully and keep them clean. Charcoal
is valuable in just the same way. The
wood ash connected with this sort of mate-
rial is a fertilizer. Remember that all
sorts of insects that work around the base
of trees find it very difficult to do any mis-
chief when brought in contact with coal
ashes or with the coal refuse from a coal-
yard. Downing recommended this thirty
or forty years ago,and better advice cannot
be given—New York Tribune Farmer.
QUAYS BLACKJACK PARTY.
Independent Citizens Assailed by Rioters. Toughs for
Pennypacker--Disgraceful Scenes in a Bogus Conven-
tion—Honest Men a Unit For Pattison and Guthrie.
More than 200 men, some of them
armed with revolvers, knives and
blackjacks, claiming to be regularly
elected delegates from different parts
of the state, captured the Union party
state convention by forcing the doors
of Musical Fund Hall yesterday, and
amidst the utmost disorder, went
through the form of nominating Sam-
uel W, Pennypacker for governor, Wil-
Neh M Srova Jor Heutenant governos
. Brown for secre o
internal affairs. , ry
During the interval that elapsed be-
tween the forcing of the front door of
the hall and the breaking down of the
rriers that were raised to prevent
entrance to the convention room, on
the second floor, three men are known
to have been injured—Andrew MacAl-
lister, who was struck a blow on the
head with a blackjack; Louis J. Min-
nick, who was stabbed in the leg with
a dirk knife, and an unknown man,
who had a knife thrust through his
As soon as the attacki party had
entered the convention hall they took
ession of the front seats. State
hairman Riter ordered those not dele-
gates to retire to the rear of the room,
ut his words were greeted with jeers.
He Juslly had the call for the conven-
tion read, and as Secretary Mapes was
about to read off the temporary roll
a motion was made that William R.
Knight be made temporary chairman,
and he was lifted bodily by his friends,
between two policemen, on to the plat-
form, and the control of the conven-
tion then passed into the hands of
Pennypacker’s supporters.
Knight and State Chairman Riter
held their places and attempted to ad-
dress their respective followers. When
one would open his mouth the other
side would jeer. But Knight's voice
was stronger, and he did not heed the
interruptions. He followed the sched-
ule he had prepared for himself, de-
Spite the interruptions, and announced
the nomination of the three Republi-
can candidates for state offices, regard-
less of the turmoil. When his side was
through with its work he sat down,
with the determination of forcing the
other side to leave the hall without
having taken action.
Finally State Chairman Riter was
compelled to adjourn the convention
to Parlor C, Continental Hotel, where
Robert E. Pattison was nominated for
governor, George W. Guthrie for lieu-
tenant governor and Lewis W. Emery,
an independent Republican, for secre-
tary of internal affairs, and a platform
was adopted.
An Object Lesson of Machine Methods
Editorially the Ledger says:
“The violent and shameful methods
adopted by the followers of Durham
and Ashbridge to break up the state
convention of the Union Party are a
characteristic exhibition of machine
brutality and lawlessness. The actual
delegates were no match, in physical
force, for the organized band of thugs
that took possession of the hall, and
they prudently withdrew and held the
convention in another place.
“Freedom of political action, the se-
curity of citizenship, must summon all
true men to their defense, irrespective
of party name. The organizauon that
seeks to maintain itself by crime and
violence is condemned in the sight of
all honest people, and its candidates
must suffer condemnation with it. The
gang that drove the Union convention
from Musical Fund Hall was organized
by placemen and minions of the Quay-
Ashbridge machine, and carried out its
plot with the connivance of the police.
“That such infamous means should
be resorted to is evidence of the dread
which this movement has inspired in
the Quay camp. This lawless nomina-
tion of the Quay candidates by a crimi-
nal mob emphasizes their identification
with the powers of evil that set law
and decency at defiance, make elec-
tions a mockery, and wantonly insult
the decency of the state and the city.
It is a fresh notice to the people of
Pennsylvania of the criminal power
from which they are called upon to
emancipate themselves, not in the
name of any party or faction, but in
the name of the commonwealth of
law and liberty.”
A Disgrace to the City.
The Press, a Pennypacker support-
er, is impelled to make this comment:
“The Knight convention showed its
unorganized, unintelligent character by
nominating the entire Republican tick-
et on the Union Party platform of last
year. Nothing could be more incongru-
ous, inconsistent and incompatible. It
is absolutely ridiculous and is explain-
able only on the theory that no one in
the convention remembered what the
Union platform was when they unani-
mously adopted it. One of its planks
favors fusion with the Democrats, so
we have the spectacle of Judge Penny-
ker and William M. and Isaac E.
rown running on a platform which
favors fusion with the Democratic
state organization.”
Desperation of the Bosses.
The Record editorially says:
“The proceedings of the Union state
convention in this city yesterday bear
their own comment. The hall in which
the delegates were to assemble was
stormed by a crowd of city roughs, who
made all regular procedure impossible.
They thrust aside the duly constituted
offcials of the state organization and
defiantly indorsed Pennypacker and the
two Browns. The regular delegates
were driven to an adjourned session in
other quarters. This brute force meth-
od of making nominations in Philadel-
hia gave the Union delegates in at-
endanee from other parts of the state
a practical illustration of the way elec-
tions are carried in this city and of the
sort of men and methods employed for
the purpose.
According to careful estimates of the
actual desire of the delegates entitled
to seats in vue Union convention those
favoring the indorsement of Pattison
outnumbered the rest about three to
one. The brutal and partially success-
ful attempt to defeat the object for
which the convention was assembled
will react against the desperate leader-
ship that inspired it. Of course, the
mob.that broke into Musical Fund Hall
and went through the motions of or-
ganized proceeding will have no stande
ng in court.”
“A Wretched Piece of Bulldozing.”
This is the heading of the Evening
Bulletin, an earnest supporter of
Pennypacker, which indignantly says:
“The violent proceedings in Musical
Fund Hall for the capture of the Union
party convention were a disgrace to all
who were concerned in them, either as
instigators or participants. The nomi-
nation which was given to Judge Pen-
nypacker by the mob of bulldozers was
a mere travesty of convention forms.
Indeed, the whole movement was such
a mockery of decency and fair play
that it can be regarded by the public
only with contempt and disgust. Such
a nomination can bung neither
strength nor credit to Judge Penny-
packer, and when tendered to him he
oyght to repudiate it as the product of
a lawless piece of chicanery and row-
dyism. It is not clear that there was
much Jolifical horse sense or gumption
behind this raid on the remains of the
Union party, for its chief effect will
now be to give the Democratic Union-
ists more of a standing in public sen-
fiment than they possibly couia nave
had if they had been left quietly alone.”
Even the Bosses Ashamed of It.
The North American editorially ob-
serves:
“The desperate folly of the machine
culminated in the riot of thieves and
thugs in the Union party’s convention
hall and forced the convention to en-
dorse the Democratic ticket. No other
result was possible. Many important
delegations entered the convention to
oppose any nominations, but after the
otous invasion b ays gang the
vote to nominate the Democratic can-
didates was unanimous. The effect of
the outrage committed by the Quayites
ill be disastrous to the machine ticket.
t is doubtful if anything which has
been done or may be done or said dur-
ing the campaign will drive so many
votes away from the machine. The as-
sault upon the convention was so bru-
tally idiotic that even the machine or-
ns cannot find excuses for it, and
uay and Penrose, who inspired it, now
denounce and repudiate it. They see
that the consequences do not depend
entirely upon the action of the Union
party, but will be felt in the revulsion
of voters from the machine regardless
of the status of the Union ticket.”
The fraudulent assessment in Phila-
delphia has already been shown up,
and a great number of bogus names
will be stricken off by order of the
court. The ringsters will not be per-
mitted to do as they please this year.
An honest ballot in that city will mean
the election of the Democratic reform
ticket.
After killing every measure asked
for by the miners in the last iegisla-
ture, Quay and Penrose are pretend-
ing sympathy for the distressed strik-
ers. This won’t deceive the men, and
at the polls in November they will
settle with the boss tools of the coal
monopolists.
Every day since the Erie convention
the prospect of the election of its
ticket has brightened. In every part
of the state there is a rising tide of
public sentiment in favor of Pattison,
Guthrie, Nolan and reform.
