K. M. J-ISTOB ELECTED CHAISMAH
Knough iH-mocnils were gathere.1 Uv-gethi-r
in the cisirt nsuu Monday aAer
n.n to hold a county convention. Much
fi'rprise was expressi-d at the large muii-ls-r
of deb-gates prwent, as it has Imhhi an
open secret f..r months that tho ranks of
that party in Somerset county are Wing
rapidly depleted by desertions, and that
wherever two or three iH-moi-ratfl are
gathered together the Federal Adminis
tration is condemned as lsing unwise and
unpatriotic, and vows are exchanged not
to vote the Ix-iius-rutic ticket in the fu
ture. A glance over the room showed
that a large per rent, of the delegates were
Federal ollice-holders, who evidently
thought that they could afford to come to
Somerset at least once a year as long as
the "pie" lasts and ehs.-r for " Cleveland
and tariff reform."
Chairman Frank John railed the Con
vention to order. An oigauization was
effected by elii-ting Gen. A. H. ('off roth,
Chairman. The General shrugged his
sli.Mil.lin s though he had just cxperi-eii.-i-d
a chill Is-fore assuming the chair.
His famous "vest" was buttoinil up tight
over his ample chcMt. He smiled one of
his sweetest Hemis-ratic smiles um.ii the
ass.-ml.lcd delegates lH.-fore thanking
them for the honor conferred ujsm him.
For a moment or two the Chairman hesi
tated as though he had forgotten his
eech last year, it will Is reim-mls-rcd.
he read his address but all fears were
dissipated w hen your undo" t.sik hold
of the lapels of his waist-coat and re
marked that "one year ago the leading
K'-puhlicaii paj.cr of the i-ounty (Tub
Hkkai.1") said that 'uncle Alisk tik
otr his vest to preside over the iK-ui-is-ralic
i-onveiition. There was lots
of rouU'itlioU at that time and it
was ms-essury for me to take off my ve-t
and work to w in. It is different to-day.
everything is harmonious and we have
met together to ai-t as a unit."
" To act as a unit" expressed it precise
ly. F.very a-t had lss.-niis.ked and dried
long before the delegate assembled and
all that w as ms-essary was to have the
convention ratify w hat had lx-cn agreed
upon.
The kicking faction had lain down after
it was shorn of all Fcdi-ral patronage and
in 4 enough animation remained in the
body of its leaders to make even a feeble
attempt at a kick, due or two of the
kickers crept into the convent ion after
the manner of the small lioy under the
circus canvas and sat quietly ou ttack
si-ats, fearful every minute that the Chair
iian would discover their presem-e and
have then) cjii-teil.
I!ut to return to "your uncle Aleck's"
spms lu He referred to the hard time
and low prices paid for agricultural prod
ucts, and said that tl)U ltepil'i'.i.-.m parly
w as rcsiKUisiblu for the deprci-ii . .. ".lust
as soon as tl;e McKiuley bill is r..pisilei,"
he isititUiueil, "good time will return
and tlie country will experience the great
est prosperity it has ever enjoyeiL"
"The old iK-ni K-nitic party is n. dead
by a long sight, and alter the platform of
the Chicago C.uivi miou has been einb sl
icl into the law of our laud it w ill march
on to repeat.sl vii-torii.-s." The General
only touched on the tariff and said that
" just as soon as it ls eauie known that
wisil is to lie phii-ed oil the free list every
ewe on his farm gave birth to tw ins and
one to triplets." The sK".iker was inter
rupted frequently by elji-ers.
At the c mi lusiiMt f "ymir uncle's"

cMiventioii pnajeuil to the election of a
ehainnaii. ' For a short timo It appeared
as though the organization ws to t
alsindonod, as no iioiiinatiiui was upide.
Finally, after rrpcaluij ruijunsts froiq
"your uncle" that soup. ort lie phwud in
nomination, a delegate arosu and iiaiii
IJ. M. Linton, editor of the Imncfit, fur
the plai-e. His election followed by a
unanimous vote.
The clc-tioit of Linton had lss-u decid
ed upon by the "Cuffnith wing" of the
party several w ts.-ks ago and the Fisher
Hay people either ceilld not get a man to
stand up. against him orrealizisl tiiat
Linton's election was a ion-gone conclu

Mr. I.ii.ioii was that lie is a " c-arjM-t-lg-ger,"

Growing Strawberries for Market.
For the past several years a mi ml x-r of
fanners in the vicinity of .'riiileii have
been cultivating straw berries for market.
Most of them an- ilisjMwiil of in Johns
town. On Saturday Mr. Si-ott Mowry
sliip-d 2 bushels and on Monthly JO
bushels to dealers in that city. .Somerset
county U-rries command a much ls-tter
prii-o than larrics brought from Mary
land and New Jersey, f.,r the reason that
they can Isj delivered the same day they
are picket and are of a snin-rior quality.
Lx-Judgo Sliaver, of near Friwleiis,
who has one of the largest strawU-rry
patches in the county, has a ory small
crop tnu present si-ason owing to the dam
age done his plants by the heavy frosts
during the latter part of April. Alsiut
Somerset, County-Trnasurrr Pugli, An
drew Woy, I'riah Trent and Alls-it Fer-
nt-r, are the champion straw ls-rry grow
ers. All of the above gentlemen are
marketing lrri.M of the finest grade and
largiwt sire ever seen here. Nearly all of
the lierries from Mr. Ferner's patch art'
as Urge us w alnuts.
Crop ProipecU.
Indication from rciN.rt of leading
farmers and fruit grow ers in all parts of
the cisiiity are that the grain crop w ill lie
unpre.sislent.sl. Whint, rye and outs
never lis.keil more promising. Many
fariniTs are grow ing more rye this season
than heretofore, owing to the increased
price it commands ov er w heat. Hay is
very short and, unless something unfor-
sis'n IiapH-ns to improve its condition,
there will not Is? a half crop.
PotatiK-s look well, but it Is feared that
the unusual rainfall of May and June
will cause them to rot. Corn was nips-d
by the frost during the latter part of Mav
aud the crop will not Isi as large a usual.
Many faruers liave l-n compelled to
turn their corn under on ae.Mii nt of the
rait! wrought by the frost and (tow buek
w limit in its pla.-u.
There w ill lu no apple iu this in.inty
worth sp-:ik ing of. The largi-t orchards
in the vicinity of Somerset will not pn-
du.v ten laishels each on an average.
Cherries and other small fruit w ill Is?
abundant. Saturday's hail storm did
much damage to grain in some lis-alities.

THE STATES FIEST FARMER.
A Visit to CoL James Young's Land-
Holdings.
Perlnqis no memls-r of the State Hoard
of Agriinlture pnwent at the meeting, re
cently held in this place, ntra.-tI the
same amount of attention as did the un
assuming little silver haired veteran, w ho
said Unit he had planted sun lis-ust tns-s
on his farms last year, and when asked
for an expression ou the oleomargarine
prohibitive law remarked that he "would
take his butter from the brindle cow."
A correspondent wlm recently visited
his famous Itauphin county farms w rites
as follows in the Ilarrlslsirg Tetrgrttph :
The Duke of Sutherland turned to the
quiet, modest appearing gentleman at his
siik-, after watching with great admira
tion his fkillful handling of the reins
over a pair of magnificent horses, and
said:
"Y.mi are certainly a m.rt skillful
whip; w here did yon l.-arn to drive?"
The iiKslest American citizen said:
"I learned w hen I was a lioy, and I
have never forgotten it. My father was a
stage driver and kept a small country ho
tel. He taught me w hile I was his stable
lioy. I had plenty of pra.-ti.-e."
The great F.ngllsh lord looked at hi
companion curiously, and then said, curt
ly:
"Your father drove a stage nnd was an
inn-kcejicrT"
"Yes, sir."
"And you are the owner of all these
vast acres?"
"I am."
"You amaze me."
"I didn't intend to. Rut let me ask you
question," said the quiet man.
"Go ahead, sir," was the Luke's re-
sjKmse; "I'll answ er it, if I can."
Visild a Isiy under the same cinnm-
stanews I was placed win iu F.ngland
w hat I have won in this muntry?"
"No, sir;" said the I Hike emphatically;
he could not. This is a great country
You are a great people."
The man who so skillfully handled the
reins, and who flushed with pride at
Sutherland's mention of his magniliivnt
farms was CoL James Young, of Middle
low ii, famous the world over as the great
est farmer iu the I'nited States. Rut a
man of Col. Young's progressive spirit
could w in his way to the top iu any conn,
try. The Iiuke of Sutherland was wrong.
Had Col. James Young Iss-n lorn in F.itg-
hiud he would have gone to the front.
reached the topmost round of the ladder.
simply by his ow n efforts and unaided.
It was my recent good fortune, in compa
ny with a newspaper friend, a many
year's friend of Col. Young, to paas a
pleasant afternoon w ith the veteran farm
er, yisiting tho must noted farm ow lied
by him and that are under his diroct sit-
MirVIS,!ll.
'Now," said fVL Yroung, after the h'W-
pitality of his tow n home ha. Iss-n enjoy
ed to iu fulii.ws, "I aii going to show you
some agricultural pnK-rty owned and
formed by a Pennsylvania Ilutchuian.
When the Luke of Sutherland was here
hu said he had been told previ.sis to Hom
ing that he would see a real Pennsylva
nia Hutchmau and his piissesstions. As
he w as li-aving he told me that having
seen a real Peniisvlvania lMitchinan he
w as now anxious to see a real live New
Kngland Yankee, in order that he might
make a .smqiarlsoii."
And so, Is-hind a pair of lailsin)0
black hi.rs.-s that Jauir- G. Illaiuo waiif
eil to own, but omd not, and with the
faithful "Chris,1 as driver, the trio of us
set out to lis k at (V. Young's farm, I
w isl I Msild di-tcrilsi 'liein from a farm
er's Htaiidia.int. I even wjsh I tild do-
scrilsi theii fr.im q new sniper man's
point of view, but, that would take l
uiimsatid eoluttim. of spaisi, and detail
npghl prove uninteresting. Co. Yotn.g
owns foirtn farms, all within sight of
Middletowti, all contiguous, and embrac
ing in all thirteen hundre.1 acres of arable
gnstniL Iioesn't that almost takey.mr
breath away? Think of the famous waith-
ern farm of "forty acres and a mule," and
then try to imagine - thirteen hundred
acres of splendid land under cultivation.
Ou il the most iiiagiiiuccnt crops of all
kinds of cereals are raised ; line fruit,
grow n, magnificent stock bred and the
very acme of iMU-fecti.uj n an agricultural
way attained. Kvbrytlung- is in perft1
iiindiliiut at(d prosenta a lniioitHrita
picture. The feiiees nr w hite With reil
guiles; the h'usiM art. white with red
door nnd gris.il blinds ; tlie lurns are
white with rtsl and green trimmings;
wherever you lis.k the eye is gratified,
and there is nothing loud or garish to
.iffiind good taste, I wonder the Colonel
diM-oi't paint his horses white, his Jersey
and Alderm-y cows and the slus-p
and pigs griHj to k.oep up the coiqlvina-.
t i in. And the roads through those farm
are models of rcd building, sne.tli.
leA el am) solid, The (Hilom-l says that If
the money expended on the ratiU uf the
Niate were qjiplieil to latllding roads such
as ho makes, a little bit in each township
every year, tlto Stale Would soon have
durable rKids iu every euunty, and he is
aloud, right, tin some portion of his
farm Col. Young has had put up stone
walls to hold up the sloping grounds and
those walls are in themselves a study.
Six feet high, two feet thick, at least, laiilt
uf massive boulders, tiiey will stand for
ages The stone for these wall w ere not
gotten from the farms they surround, Isit
w ere hauled from remote plaits, two and
three miles away. It was a Herculean
task to plai-e them and required the work
of many men and manv ilavs "Hut I
wanted the walls" said the Colonel ; "it
was a time of great depression w hen many
men were out of work, and I just gave
them employment ami kept them and
their Cnnilii-s from w ant," There's your
true philanthropist.
These farms were purchased by Col.
Young at various times. He wa always
on the watch for a purchase, especially if
the pnierty for sale was next to his and
he gradually got them all in a straight
line until one can stand at the w euern
boundary of his farm land and lis.k east
for two miles and see onlv "CoL Jim
Young's farms." At one time he owned
ail th.-tt he at present Itossesse. savo a
small farm lying Itctwccit two of his
farms I( canto up fur sale, but the price
fixed was very high and l.e hesitated
alHit buying. Finally he reasoned:
"This farm may fall into the pts-H-ssiou of
someUsly w ho will never sel". it, I guiws
I ha.1 ls-tter gi-t it now hen I have the
chaiH-e." Then he got it.
When Colonel Young Usight the farm
he calls "Oak Ijuie" they all liave
names and pretty ones at that a great
portion of the land was a lake, frequented
by w ild ducks and many wasthe duck he
shot ou its waters He put in a drainage
system, tho water disappeared, and if you
and I had the Income from the land once
covered by that lake we would f.s-1 very
i-omfortal.lv "fixed. Another farm was
swampy that be could not drive into it
with.sjt sinking his wag.ni heels to the
huh. lie bnsight his superb drainage
system to work and front the corn and
w heat on tl)at farm to-day you would not
suspect, the ground's original condition.
Rut the colonel in not only cereal
farmer. He is a st.H-k-hreedor and cattle
raiser as well. At certain seasons of the
year he buys entile in tho market, fatten
th'-m on his farm and re-sells them iu the
big cities There is a profit of course, Isit
a man is not In latsinesa for fun. And
that reminds mo. When the late General
llaaoock, "the superb," visited Coloiiel
Young, he was gratified and delighted
with his reception and wlud he saw as he
made a tour of the farms. Going down
the beautiful lane from "Grand View,"

cock turned to Colonel Young and said:
"Colonel Young, you have a most ele

yon make it pay ? How do you get divi
dends out of it ?"

The Colonel replied: "General, I get my

Han.-o.-k wa iioiiplusstst "What do
you mean?" hcaskisL
"I nuan," said Colonel Yising, "that I

enced in entertaining my friemU, and in
the pleasure it affonl them in ls-ing en
tertaiiiisj by inc."
It was chani'-teristic of the man. He is
established in life, and at present, and lor
years past, his sole pleasure has been in
show ing his friends pleasure.
A visit to Colonel Young's farms is not
complete without an inseetion of his

of Jersey rattle, splendid blissled hirrses.
