tbat our soli la well supplied with
lime, but la sparln gly supplied with
potash, and tbat aa fruit trees require
a much greater amount of potash than
does wheat, ourorohards cannot be ex-
aa many successful
crops without heavy applications of
some form of potash to the land In
orchards. Prof Shaw recommended
an application ot gypsum to land on

, suggestions intended to unite the di

voters of the stale in one nartv. to

the power to make tho laws under

"If we get a non-partiean ticket
nominated on this line proposed
we can carry the state by 10,000
majority,
"Plain open-handed honesty is
wanted. Let the union movement
be what it pretends to be and the
aim be "On to the primaries." The
primary meetings ip our little
country school houses are of far
more value to American interests
than the Star Chamber work of
