The Constitution and its editors are

Making Compost.
While, on the score of economy, we
advocate the making of the compost
in the furrows chiefly, still it is always
in order to make up the best mate
rials available about the farm iuto a
superior article of compost. Inferior
manure, such as lot scrupings or mule
and cow excrement, that is mixed with
a great bulk of inferior vegetable
matter, such as pine straw or sawdust
or oak leaves, cannot profitably bo
handled more than once. If the
truth be known there is much of it
that is barely worth the once handling,
valuing it from its contents of the
three principal fertilizing elements.
The pure solid excrement of horses
and mules, especially where it lms ab
sorbed more or less of the liquid can
very profitably be converted into coin-
post with cotton seed phosphate and
kainit and especially where rainy
days are devoted to the work of com
posting. The compost box or spot for
mixing should be convenient to water,
for a good deal of it will be needed
from first to last to secure a perfectly
made compost, to prevent fire fanging
and to keep the mass in a state of
slow fermentation. To make a com
post perfect it should be worked over
once or twice after being put up,
eacli time supplying enough moisture
to keep it at a proper temperature.
At the last working put the pile should
be packed firmly and well moistened
throughout by making holes into the
mass with a crow-bar or stake and
pouring the water in the holes, being
careful not to leash it at all. A very
common error in making compost is
not using water enough. The heap
should never be allowed to get dry
and when tlie time comes to apply it
to the land it will bo found perfectly
friable and without lumps. The grad
ual fermentation, with a steady sup
ply of moisture, will sprout and de
stroy most all of the grass and weed
seeds that were itatho manure, one of
the principal objects to be attained in
composting.
The usual recommendation for ordi
nary compost per ton is about equal
quantities by weight of acid phos
phate, green'cotton seed and stable
manure with a hundred pounds or so
of kainit added. Most farmers how
ever have their own guesswork.
Formula somewhat after the order
of the old woman’s recipe for pickles,
“enough vinegar to make them sour
enough, enough pepper to make them
hot enough, and enough salt to make
them salty enough.” There is a good
deal of humbuggery and nonsense in
volved in tlie various “formulas” that
meet the eye in the various agricul
tural papers, either as “Lawyer Buz
Fuz's Formula,” “Col. Bill Jones’
Formula,” “Judge Golucky’s Formu
la,” “Dr. Wastem’s Formula,” not to
mention Tom’s modest formula or
Dick’s or Harry’s—no very gre.it dif
ference between any of them—about
as mud. perhaps as between two
makes of the old woman’s pickles, but
each one claimed to be just the very
tiling by its brilliant author.
Tlie standard formula, recommended
by the Department of Agriculture,
consists of BOO lbs. each of green cot
ton seed aud stable manure, 700
pounds of superphosphate and 100
pounds of kainit. The value of this
ton is not much over $12.00, and ap
plied to 3 acres would be a very mod
erate application for most crops. To
put it on two would be better (more
j profitable) even for our ordinary farm
crops. For “Trucking” crops (such as
potatoes, cabbage, onions, tomatoes,
turnips,) one ton per acre would be
little enough and as high as three
tons might profitably lie used for some
of these crops. Tlie condition of the
soil and tlie mode of applying must
govern as to this.
it is well, however, to repeat that
economy demands that the compost
generally he made in the furrow. It
is only tlie very best, quality of stable
manure that it will pay to handle
more than once. S. A. (J.

The Rural New-Yorker of New York
city is recognized as the leading farm
and garden weekly of America. It
lias tlie best writers; it is original
throughout. It is the only journal
that conducts an experiment farm. It
costs more to publish than any other
journal of its class. Its illustrations
(over 500 yearly) are from nature, or
else original conceptions. Among the
latter class, tlie ‘Rural’ is publishing
a series .of powerful cartoons, nothing
approaching which has ever before
been attempted. They illustrate the
tlie Power of the Grange, the Curse
of Monopolies, tlie Farmer Enlighten

Land, the Effects of tlie Destruction
of Useful Birds, etc., etc. These,

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 22, 1887.
Editors Union Rkcordkr:
As the time for the assembling of
Congress draws nearer, tiie contest
for the position of Doorkeeper of the
House waxes warmer—that appear
ing to be the only subordinate posi
tion over which tiiere is any competi
tion, though, if certain combinations
that are now being formed can be
successfully carried out, the old state
will be shattered and tiiere will be a
sweeping change. Tiiere are six can
didates in tlie field for Doorkeeper,
from all sections of the country.
Heretofore, it lias bean tin* custom
for tlie Democratic Congressional
caucus to equally divide the four
best offices—giving to the North the
sergeant-at-arms and postmaster and
to tiie South the clerk and doorkeeper
—an arrangement that will very like
ly be continued. The Democratic
members from New York have called
a caucus to meet in this city tlie lat
ter part of the week, to determine
what courses they will pursue in re
gard to the doorkeepership.
Again the familiar faces of members
of Congress can be seen at tlie hotels
aud ou the streets, aud in their usual
haunts in the fashionable and aristo
cratic northwest quarter of the city.
Tlie Washingtonians draw the line of
social distinction right through tlie
middle of Pennsylvania Avenue, the
popular thoroughfare that leads from
the White House to tlie Capitol.
If oue’s habitation is north of
that line, he or she is presum
ed to be of respectable social stat
us, but, if they dwell south of it,
they are regarded with distrust until
something transpires to change that
opinion. You see, dear reader, I
know how it is. myself, for coining
here u stranger, 1 innocently located
on the wrong sidmof Pennsylvania
avenue. But 1 have siuce crossed
over, and am now supposed to be as
good as my neighbors.
In addition to several contests for
seats in tbe House, there will be two
or three in tlie Senate, and one of the
latter will be of general interest, a* it
involves a constit utional question, in
West Virginia, the regular session of
tlie legislature, having failed to elect
a United States Senator, tlie Gover
nor appointed one; but ata culled ses
sion of tiie legislature soon afterward
the Governor’s appointment wus ig
nored as illegal, and a Senatorelected.
So two claimants.—both Democrats —
will appear for the same Senatorial
seat. One of the other cases that I
refer to is that of Senator-elect Tnr-
pie, of Iudiu.nu. Still, it is doubtful if
Ex-Senator Harrison contests tile
seat, as his alleged claim appears to
rest upon any tiling but a firm foun
dation. Then, too, tiie Seriate is
much more impartial and conserva
tive than tlie House in the settling of
contests.
The British Fisheries Commission
having reached the Capital, it iH prob
able that negotiations will be in
progress before the end of this week.
Upon the arrival of Mr. Chamber
lain, the chief commissioner, lie was
besieged at his hotel by forty re
porters of the leading newspapersof
the country, hilt the only subjects on
which tlie udfoit diplomatist could be
satisfactorily interviewed were
liquors, cigars, und kindred topics.
The boys vivaciously pumped away
over an hour, but all to no purpose
further than that they were consider
ably refreshed internally.
Thanks to honest, reform methods
of a democratic administration, tlie
annual deficits, for defraying tlie
expenses of the Post-office establish
ment, wliicli, iinve, for a number of
years, a mounted to eight to fifteen
million dollars annually, have been
Steadily reduced until tiie last defi
ciency was about one million dollars,
and it is confidently estimated that
before the close of the current
year tlie Postoffice Department will
be running on a paying basis.
President Cleveland has appointed
Geo. L. Rivers, of New York, to fill
the position of First Assistant Secre
tary of State, made vacant by the
resignation of ex-Gofernor Porter, of
Tennessee. The President inis two
other good places to fill—Commis
sioner of tlie General Land Office,
vacated by the retirement of Mr.
Sparks, and Justice of tlie Supreme
Court.
During tlie absence of Mr. Hall,
Commissioner pf Patents, Gen. Rob
ert B. Vance, Assistant Commissioner,
fills tlie former position in a manner-
liiglily creditable to himself aud ac
ceptable to all. The Acting Commis
sioner while in Congress was Chair
man of tlie Committee ou Patents,
aud he is a brother of Senator Vance,
of North Carolina.

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury
Old Time Methods.
The savage is emphatically th*
child of nature. He lives close to na
ture, iiis only education is gained in.
nature’s school.
When the Indian receives an injury,
he does not seek a cure in minenu;
poisons, but binds on the simple leaf,.
administers the herbal tea, and, with-
nature’s aid, comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced
the wilderness, built their uncoatl*
but comfortable log cabins and start
ed the clearings in the woods, wliiah
in time became the broad, fertile'
fields of tlie modern farmer, found in ,
roots and herbs that lay close at hand,
nature’s potent remedies for all thenr-
common ailments. It was only in
very serious cases they sent for old
“saddle-bags” with his physic, which
quite as often killed as cured.
Latter day society lias wandered
too far away from nature, in every
way, for its own good. Our grand
fathers and grandmothers lived wholc-
somer, purer, better, healthier, mort-
uatural lives than we do. Their
minds were not filled with noxious
isms, nor their bodies saturated with
poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make a change, tc »
return to tlie simple vegetable prepa
ration of our grandmothers, which
contained the power and potency of
nature as remedial agents, and in ait
tiie ordinary ailments were efficacious,
at least harmless?
The proprietors of Warner’s Log
Cabin Remedies have thought so, atuS
have put on the market a number of
there pure vegetable preparation*,
made from formulas secured after pa
tient searching into tlie annals of th*
past, so that those who want theta,
need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies
will lie found “Log Cabin Sarsaparil
la,” for the blood; “Log Cabin Hop*
and Bucliu Remedy,” a tonic aiadi
stomach remedy; “Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption Remedy,” “Ijog
Cabin Scalpine,” for strengthening
and renewing tiie hair; “Log Cabin.
Extract,” for both externul und inter
nal application; “Log (Cabin Lives
Pills;” "Log Cabin Rose Cream,” u*s.*t
old but effective remedy for catarrh,,
and “Log Cabin Plasters.” All these
remedies are carefully prepared froai .
recipes which were found, after long:
investigation, to have been those
most successfully used by our grand
mothers of “yo olden time.” They
are the simple, vegetable, efficaeioiur-
remedies of Log Cabin days.

Senator Vest, Col. Tom Morrisont
and Mrs. Cleveland.
Col. Tom Morrison, of Morgan,
county, in my State, said the silver-
tongued Senator from Missouri, is as
good a mail us tiie Almighty ever
made*, and, like all gentlemen of tasta?
and culture, is very fond of a fiiwr
woman and a fine horse. He lms th*
best, stock in the Suite, and Morgan,
county, where lie comes from, is fa
mous for pretty women. He doesn't
get away from home much, as he be
getting old and prefers quiet. Sol
was surprised to see him in the croiriS
that came into St. Louis to see tlwr -
President.
“So you came up with the rest ol
the hoys to see the President, eh, Ur»-'
cle Tom,” 1 remarked as lie greeted!
me; “1 reckon you couldn’t help it.”
“Not much,” hereplied;“I wouldn’t
go ten miles to see any President,
but I did want to get a look at bit-
wife. When I see her I'm going back,
to my farm.”
To gratify tlie old man I took him.
up to see Mrs. Cleveland, and intro
ducing him to her, 1 said : “Mrs„
Cleveland, this is Uncle Tom Morri
son from Morgan county, which is fa
mous for its pretty women, and be
came up here expressly to see you—
He says tie don’t care to see tlie Pres
ident, and as soon as lie lms seen you,
he is going buck home.”
The old man blushed through hte-
tanned skin, hut took her hand asshe-
giivu him one of her sweetest smiles--
and said some pleasant words in re
ply. He stared at her as if hi* had
never looked upon a woman before,,
and then with his hand upon life
heart, and n courtly bow he re
marked:
“Madam permit me to say that you
