After farther discussion the committee was en motion continued te await develop ments. cner REreivrs. Mr. Begle laid the wheat looked excel lent In his neighborhood with premise of a geed crop ; corn Is Irregular and in many places very peer ; grass alto la Irregular ; eaia and potatoes are very fine ; apples de net lcek ae well ; peaehea and cberriea Are rather light ; strawberries about average. Jehnsen Miller stated that a part or the township of Warwlek had been visited by a great ball alerm which bad wrecked the wheat, rye snd eats, and damaged the grans ; the fruit wu also mueb damaged. He did net expeet mere than half a orep of grain. Casper Hlller aald tbat the grain crops tn Genestcga township are fair, but the fruit crops leek peer, except peaehea and straw Denier, wnieu loon well. Mr. Buck water, of Ktst Lampeter, re ported peaehea and apples plenty ; corn la late, but leeks well ; wheat and rye very geed. Calvin Cooper thought the first crops would be light ; strawberries very plenty ; wheat, eats and corn leek well. James Weed reported com looking well, apple trees full ; there are no pears, plume or peaches worth speaking of. CARE AND MANAGEMENT OP MILE COWS. Henry M. Engleread the following essaj: There are few If any business enterprises wbese success does net depend en their management, and te a great extent en start. Ins right; and, since no one Is die nosed tn devote his time, means and care te milk cows that de net pay, it is highly Important te start right with the call that Is te be the cow. The laws of hereditary and trans mission should be well understood ae as te preclude the raising of calves from cewa which de net pay for their keeping, of which there are yet, unfortunately, tee many in the country. Were this rule fol lowed by all breeders for several genera tlens, the dairy produeta would enew In consequence an Increased value of millions of dollar. The calf should le kept In thriving con dition until she becomes a oew ; alter being old enough te be fed en grasa, hay and grain, she should be fed such feed as the intelligent dairyman feeds his cewa te pro duce the largest flew of milk. This method will develen the milk two. dnclng ergansJn the heifer better than any ether course, for If kept tee fat a beefy cow will most llaely be the result If kept tee peer or stunted she wlltrequireayearmere than the former te reaeh maturity and then will never be as large aa if properly raised. The former may become a oew when about two yearn old without detriment te her f mure value, while these raised en what la known aa the bardenlngayatemaheuld net become oewa before three yeara old. The advocates of the hardening system claim tbat belfera kept peer nntll they be come oewa, and then fed well, will prove the better cewa, but the best milk oewa en record were net raised that way. An important period in the lire of the oew la trem ber first calving until fall grown, during whleb period she Is expected tee generally te yield milk and grew at the earns time en the aame quantity of feed aa tbe mature oew. 1 am confident tbat many oewa never reaeh their full mllk-produelng capaelty In consequence of want of apeelal care at this time. Feeding and milking at regular hours are matters te be closely observed ; proper feed In proper quantity Is of greatest Im portance. Grass and ether crops for pasture or aell leg, In the height of their season, are gen erally a complete feed for oewa ; but in a wet season, or when these crops are tee succulent, some dry feed should be added. There passes scarcely a season In which there la net a dry period whleh causes pasture te run short, with a consequent decrease In the flew of milk. It la therefore Important te sew crepa at Iireper Intervals for soiling in elder te ieep the flew of milk aa regular as possi ble. Should they net be needed te till tbe gap of a dry spell, they may be cut and cured for winter. The faet la tbat be who dependa en soiling altogether, and arranges his orepa for tbat purpose Jadloieusly, will secure a mere regulsr new of milk from his cows than be who depends alto, aether en pasturage. Te keep up a regular flew of mint In winter requires mere care than In summer. Coarse teed should be cur, and all tbe grain te be fed abeuld be ground and mixed with it and made wet, the morning feed for evening and vice yeres. Daring cold weather It Is all tbe better te use het water or steam. Cewa thus fed with an addition of some roots dally, will drink comparatively little In wlnir, while giving dry feed exdaMvely causes excessive thirst which, II satisfied with Ice cold water must necessarily chill tbe animal and consequently reduce the flew of milk, Tbe stable should be as warm and as comfortable aa possible consistent with proper ventilation, and In rough weather cows should be out only long enough te drink. They should be groomed and be kept clear or tilth. A trough about 11 ve inches deep and 15 or 10 inches wide te catch the droppings will go tar towards keeping cows clean, II cleaned out dally. In the aummer cattle abeuld bare com plete shade ler several hours during tbe middle day, either or trees or a cool shed. Tba latter la better In fly time if it can be kept dark. .Tbey must have plenty of water, net from puddles or stagnant peels, but fresh and pure. A radical cbaege of feed at any time will pruduea unfavorable results. An error tee common where only dry feed Is fed Is tbe sudden change te pasture, and that gener. ally tee early, which causes tee great laxity and consequently unfavorable enacts en the pew m will as en hex milk.

Te get tbe best results from oewa, kind ness must ba practiced la handling. They "-" j mbjuvu w mi ieu aa rersia, wnieb Is a great advantage In every re re speet ever having them ehaaed by doss or unruly boys, or bandied by men or ungov ungev ernabfe temner. Haifara arlth mir ihnnM be bandied Ilka oewa ; as seen aa tba teat nu uauer negin te aeveiep tbey sbenld be frequently manipulated, and If tbla Is prop erly attended tn until they calve, tbey can generally be milked at onee without trou ble, unless there la Infl.mmatlnnnf th un der, which Is very painful and whleb, If net properly managed, often eausea oewa te become kleker. One el the greateat nulaaneea In a dairy la trouble from kecking cows, wblcb habit eauaea many a valuable milker te be pre pared for, and sent te the shambles. Of all tbe devices te prevent cows from kicking, I knew of none better than the following s Take a cattle tongs, taaten It te the nose of tbe kicker and attach a rope te It ; faster a ring a few feet above tbe bead el the oew and paaa the rope through It i draw tee rope pretty tight, se aa te raise her neae oenal.i er ably above her body. If ahe la very un ruly draw the rope until ahe is unable te muve nor neae. ana, rest assured, she will The msnsgement of milk requires as mueb if net mere care than the msnsge ment of oewa. Hinee It enters ae largely Inte daily uses by the human family, it Is of the utmost Importance that It abeuld be unoenumlnated. The tendeney of milk te absorb Impurities Is pretty well understood by intelligent dairymen, but a very large proportion or it is handled as though It were Intended for anvthinv hut an anii of feed. Cewa In tbe winter season If net properly cared for will get filthy and with eareless milkers the milk gets its flrat taint In deed I believe milk reeelvea mere Impur ities before It leaves tbe a table than from all ether sources eumblned. The tee com mon practice of milkera la,lnstead of wiping teata and Udder nlean. nr wuhlne nit drying them wltb a cletb, te draw soma milk and wet the teata ; then set the psll directly under tbe udder while milking. uy inis method it Is hardly possible te avoid getting aeme foreign matter into tbe milk, for If nothing else tbat la obleotlon ebleotlon obleetlon able geta Inte the pall the manipulating of tbe ndder will cause tflete matter from Its surface, like dust, te fall Inte tbe mil. While the latter la net as objectionable Kutuu uuu, ii imparls a oew oaer te the milk which often causes suspicion of something mere ebj actionable. Were 1 obliged te pnrebaae mil for family use I would feel disposed te sometimes stroll through the stables at milking time, te observe what degree of eara were exer exer elsed In tbe dairy whence I get my aupply. There la generally tee mncb dependence put In tbe atralner te cleanse milk of Im parities ; snd, although It will remove all matter oearae enough te be held back by tbe cletb or wire gauss, it la clear that it cannot remove any unnatural odors. I would prefer milk drawn by a tidy milker without being strained te that drawn by one Ot OODOalte hablta. thnueh tr1nnr1 deasn timer. It la an easy matter te pre vent any Impurities from tailing Inte the pall while milking If tbe milker places the pall a little aside instead of direniie unitnr the cow. The best arrangement I bnve yet seen for getting milk from tbe stable without taint la tbe "perfect" milk pall en whleh the milker alts while drawing the milk through the lunnel Inte the pall. Tbey essay was discucsea at some length by Jeseph F. Wltmer, Calvin Cooper, Jaa. Weed and M. D. Kendlg, all of whom agreed in general wltb the essaylsr, exeepi in me manner of aubdu Ing kicking cows.

The defendants denied having atelen the chlekens sold te Mr. Wilsen or te having received them knowing them te have been atelen.

In rebuttal It was shown by tbe common wealth teat Mrs. Beley ea tee day et tbe hearing aald tbat her brother, Henry Wat sen, stele tbe chickens, get ber te sell them and then when ahe was prosecuted for re ceiving stolen goods ha ran away, The Jury rendered a verdict el guilty aa te Harab, the mother, and net guilty as te Adeline, tee daughter, Sarah was called for sentence and the court aenteneed her te undergo an impris onment of nine months.

What there Is of old goods Is being gradually cleared, but without rusu or exeitement. The pros pects of a brisk and profitable fall season In new leaf are brighter than they have been for years. In the Urst plaoe though there are some very geed and line wrappers In the '87 crops, the supply will fall far below the demand because, In tee aeoend place, tba demand for seed leaf wraDnera will ba mueb, larger than for the laat three or four yeara en account of tee peer quality of tea new orep of Sumatra. On tbat point there ean hardly be any doubt left. If tbe oelora have lest their gloss, tee texture its wonted durability, if burning snd taste have become dubious, what la there left tn Sumatra tbat should make It preferable te our own leaf, and at exorbi tant prices at tbat T And If the new Suma tra does net auit any mere tba Germane, who ean make uae or almeat any rubbish. then, indeed, It muat be. a product beneath tbe attention el an American buyer.

Fer the first time In a ween mere were heavy oleuds In the sky whleh brought wltb teem premonitions of rain, ana tne cool nrseing winds which came with the earl lest et the visitors had given way te a close, oppressive, muggy atmosphere. Te-day had barely dawned wben the varleiiB delegations and eluba were astir, and the early risers besieged the doers or ins aining rooms long before the oeoks snd wsltars were ready for tee charge. The enthusiasm of the nlgbt before seemed te nave evaporated and everybedy'a mind waa fixed en tbe solid buslneaa of tea day. Many et tea delegations whleh hsd failed yes'erday te appoint their committeemen, were In caucus as early aa 8 o'clock, and In mere than one tbe position whleh aheuld be taken en tbe tariff question lurnlabed a text for animated discussions. Thera waa also an Informal meeting or the members of the oemmlttee en resolutions, se fsr se lected, st wbleh tbe policy of revamping the tariff plank of the platform of the laat national convention or of replacing It with an out and out declaration en the lines cf the president's msasage were discussed at length. But nothing definlte waa arrived at and when tbe conference adjourned it waa apparent tbat there would be a fight and that It would be begun In earnest Juat aa aoen aa the labira of tea convention to day were ever. A massive bronze statue of President Cleveland, supported by a vsaa containing a gigantic bouquet of tbe choicest flowers, loeaea sewn upon convention nail when tbe doers were opened at 10 o'elook tbla I morning, adevb an en painting or hla ex cellency, supported by oil paintings of Tlldeu snd Hendrleks, perfected a vivid reminder of tbe put and tea present. Many improvements bad been made In the ball slnen the formal opening en Satur day night The press seats had been re arranged In tiers Immediately te the right and left of the ehalrman'a platform and the front rewa of Beats of tbe delegates brought up In close proximity te the newspaper tables. Additional decera tiens of tbe form of colored bunt ing et tasteful designs gave tbe two tlera of galleries a handsome sppesranee, snd a Ufaalsed equestrian atatue of Gen oral Washington, whleh steed beneath a canopy of 11 igs In tbe northern gallery dl dl reetly facing the stage, aided materially In adding elfeet te tbe general ensemble.

Frem behind the big blsek cleuda the sun peeped out at 11 o'clock and Illumin ated the ball with a Heed of llgbt.

The majority of them were or the gentler sex, young, middle-aged and old, and their brilliant toilets many of them specially ordered from Werth's for the ec casien lent a pletureique and piquant effect te tbe scene. There was no hurry en tbe part of the delegated In assembling. Tbe Indlsnlans were tbe first upon the ground They came In straggling without any at tempt at ahew and were tn tbelr seats lie fore the audience bad time te give tbsm a ebeer. Toen there waa a lull broken by tbe arrival of the Cleveland Democracy from Buffalo. They marched In at tbe entrance te tbe upper gallery with a band of forty pieces and a blue silken banner at their head, took off tbelr hats In response te tbe spplauae wbleh came from tbe visitors' aeotlen, trotted around the building and then took up their quarters In tbe balcony directly above the ehalr. A lull enaned, during which the band rendered a medley et national aim, which failed te evoke any particular enthusiasm. Wben tbe Pennsylvania delegation headed by W. L. Scott made lis appearanee, tbe strains et " Ged Have America " were echoing tbreugb tbii strueture and the audience rising te Us feet, gave the poraenal representative of President Cleveland a round of spplause. Equally bearty,desplte tbelr gray banner and badges, waa tbe reception accorded te the Hendrlcka club, of Indianapolis, whleh was escorted te seats In close proximity te the Cleveland Democrats from Buffalo, The Colerado delegation came In without ostentation, oleeely followed by tbe Texana and Marylanders. Fer tbe next fifteen mlnntes tbe delegates eame tn pretty rapidly, ' but nevertheless at 12 o'elook wben the oenventlon abeuld have been called te order there waa a big empty apace In tbe body of the hall.

Ne publle servant, he said, evor respond ed te the calls of duly mere fully or In bet ter faith than our honored president. The present administration has realized Ua premises made by tbe Democratic conven tion of 1884. It has sought te reduee snd lighten the burdens et the people and te reduoe the revenue ae as te prevent undue accumulation In tbe treas ury and baa at tbe aame time taken tbe requisite steps te fester and protect domesile industrlea. It bas discouraged the centra lization el wealth and has enabled as fsr aa tbe circumstances would permit these in the less faverable walks of life te oejoy tbe benefits of tbelr exertions. In etber words, the Democratic administration has uaed Us utmost endeavera te faithfully carry cut the platform upon which oer great reform victory was aehleved. If tbe tariff baa net been modified, It la because of Be publican obstruction. Therexlatenee et an enormeua surplus lu tbe treasury threatena the Industry of tbe country, la a constant aeurce el Injury te tbe consumer, and te tbe man et moderate means who finds It difficult te pre cure monetary assistance, because et the wlthdiawal of a large por tion et tbe circulating medium. This un. fortunate altuatleu Is directly attributable te tbe poll ay of tbe Kepubllcan party, whose aim has always been te encourage snd enrich monopolies and te Ignore the Interests et the masses. The country, he said, was Indebted te tbe present adminis tration for tbe restitution te the publle do main of many million acres of public landa which the Kepubllean party had allowed te pass Inte the bands of private cor porations and foreign syndicates and fera Chinese treaty which must result In excluding the Mongolian from our shores, and for the first time tusking it passible te prevent the parpotuatlen et the fraud upon our Iiuml. ration as new practiced by tbat race.
