Experiment with Potatoes. A Chester correspondent of the ($erUmtown Telegraph states that -during the last season he cultivated six varieties of potatoes on land of nearly uniform quality and equal manorial aid. These varieties embraced the Cusco, Mercer, Monitor, Early Goodrich, Nova Scotia Mercery and Early June. The C%o, with three hundred pounds of phosphate per acre, produced at the rate of two hundred-and sixty-five- busKels of marketable and thirty-two bushels of small ones—two hundred and ninety Tmshel in all. This potato, with phosphate manure as a fertilizer, is deemed a good one for table use but with a free use of barnyard manure' it is rather strong. Forced with this manure,' a yield of five hundred bnshel'per acre is deemed readily attainable. The Mercer ouly yielding about eighty bushels to the acre. Tho Monitors, with same management as the Cus009, produced over three hundred bushels per acre of good sized potatoes, but are two or three weeks later than the others .mentioned. The Early Goodrich produced three hundred and fifty bushels to the acre of quite as good a quality as any of the others. The other varieties did not do as well, nor arc they regarded with much favor as a potato for table use.

The Monitors and Early Goodrich are the favorite with this grower, both as to quality, amount of product and seasonable maturity. The Mercer brings more in the Philadelphia market than any other variety, but the low rate of production por acre.renders it less desirable an a farm crop. sVT

Hoof Rot. David W. Hutzcl, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The disease you describe is hoof rot. There are twenty remedies for it in popular use, either of which will cure, if jytopcrly apphtdt and a hundred more might be added to the liBt. But if they ate not -used often enough—if the foot is not suitably cleaned—and if it is not kept from rand. water, &e., long enough to allow the application to have its full effect—a "permanent cure" is out of the question. Mr. Ilutzel will find the result of our experience in the Practical

Shepherd, and the whole subject has been repeatedly discussed in these col

umns. We consider blue vitol the great remedy in light cases, and butter of antimony in severe ones. People generally like to use a compound of drugs. Almost every published receive includes adozenofthem. It is well if these do not neutralize each other. The multiplication of ingredients is in scarcely any instance a benefit. All the addition ice desire to make to the two applications we have named is tar, to form

MI exvaxaa.\ which will to some extent keep dirt o-u\. ot sores and prevent the bad effects of moisture. —. Steam la AgrJrm"are'

fj,, amads Farmer has an artiole

Jfng to enforce the propriety and advantage of plowing by steam rather than by the use of horse and oxen, as is now done in theStatesand the

Canadas. The advan

tage claimed for steam over animal power, in the preparation of land for crops, are celerity of execution, greater depth of plowing, and hence a greater readiness in killing out noxious weeds on a farm.

There arc doubtlsss many portions of the older settled poi tions of Cannada and the prairie regions of the West where steam plowing might be Advantageously used, but on small farmq, with undulating surfaces, we doubt whether steam can be profitably substituted for the animal power now employed in breaking up and preparing the ground for crops or in cultivating them during the growing process.

A few experiments in steam cultivation have been made-at the West, and though the results have not proven very satisfactory, we are still confident th&f success will be achieved.

tJS-

Green vs. Bry wood. trdzW A discusion is going on in the columns of the Miner and the Farmer (N. H.) on the comparative value of green and dry wood for fuel. One writer contends that green wood radiates more heat than does the seasoned article, quantity for quantity. The other denies this for sundry •pocified reasons. The dry wood advooate had the floor last and propounds thiB very pungent inquiry:—"If green wood gives out so much more heat, how does it happen that men who run glass-works, steam engines, and the like, whero the production of the greatest heat at least expense is made a study, have never been able to find it out?" s,:*!'

4Sf

Good Advice. The N. E. Farmer says: ever be the rale with the farmer to winter no more stock than he can winter well. A single sheep or cow, properly cared for, and supplied with a sufficiency of wholesome and nutriciouB food, water and comfortable shelter, will be of more valae to the owner than two poorly kept. It is „a singular error in domestic policy to appropriate to two or more animals the Food necessary for one."

Corn la the Isr.

^7 pounds of corn for a bushel. The ?^'4pt-aitife.Parmer aays this is being toolib^?eral,'On the part of the farmer, as seven-

"Rebel" as Term or ltcproncb. There is no grcater'truth in the Declaration oi' Independence than the statement that all history has proved that people arc more prone to .'bear oppression and tyranny too longltthan to rise and change their governments upon too light and trifiing «auses. Notwithstanding tho opprobrium which is sought, in this age, by shallow partisans, to be visited upou the word -'rotol," there is little that is glorious in the history ot mankind that is not associated with that word. All the freedom there is in the world, political and religious, we owe to the exertions of what were called "rebels" ill their' day and generation. The mimes we have bccu taught to honor, both in ancient and modern times, were those to whom this appellation has been .applied. Large communities and great bodies of men do not rebel until they have real causes of grievance. The risks of rebellion are too great, the sufferings tliey are almost certaiu to cause, too intense to load to such decided action, without the public are spurred on by injuries and indignities that no high-spirited people can submit to without disgrace and huinilation—in-j-iries that if submitted to, arc certain to lead, in the end, to unbearable oppression. It is singular that, in this country whose Government is tho fruit of a successful rebellion, which was formed by "rebels" and then adopted by "rebels,'' which has sympathized with every rebellion that was ever set on foot, should now have a party that finds in that term its highest degree of political depravity, which mouths the word of "loyalist" with all the facility with which it has ever been used by the supporters of kingcraft and priestcraft in all ages and countries.

They are, indeed, trying to read our history backward, or, rather, to use with a differeut application the language of the President, they have swung around the circle until they have got directly upon an opposite side. Only think of tho descendants of those who boast of their Hampton and Sidney—who have their Washington, their Adams, Hancock and Jefferson, all of whom acted in defense of civil liberty and of the right of a peopie when oppressed—to change their government, and adoptiug as a fundamental article of their creed that to rebel against constituted government is the highest of crimes and the greatest of moral-as well 3 as political sins. The most ultra high

Tory doctrines of the apologists of the Stuarts in the darkest periods of English history have now become tho creed of a 1 faction in our own country. From them they draw all their arguments. They reason from the same premises, auii. they come to the same conclusions. They seem determined to blot out rebel recollections in the past by the greater tory

rebels more than they do.

or loyalist, zeal in the present. Our haters of rebels have been, we fear, thrown into the wrong century. Whatauadmirable force they would have constituted to

sustain the tyranny of James or of

Charles, in England! IIow loyal they would have been to the British Government in 177t! What faithful subjects of the Hapsburg or of the Czars they would make, whose Governments do not hate

-jj

,fj

How many Jeff. Davises and Rohert 'j Lees they would have found in Hungary and Poland! What extensive fields fori confiscation would the rebellion in those nations have presented to them! Thoy would have had their gibbets and Siberias for all who had rebelled against "right- -j ful authority," and the proscription and persecution would have been sufficient to gratify the malice even of such men as Ben. Butler and Thad Stevens. Unfortunately for the cause of humanity thai it was the destiny of these zealous loyalists to be cast in this land, whose previous history and the temper of whose people had not been exactly in consonance with them, and that, therefore, so much has to be doue in order to blot out the past, that we may have an entirely new political dispensation. They would have given the Czar and Kaiser no trouble, whereas, in the United States, owing to the perversity of those who can not entirely forget our history, they promise to be an element of trouble, by their attempts to move us back into the darkness of the Middle Ages, when to resist any degree of oppression of a government was treason both to God and man, and when rebels were at once given over to the fagot and the stake, or were gibbeted upon the gallows.

At the Jackson banquet on the 8th of January, at Washington, Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania, responded to the tenth toast, which was as follows: "The right of representation in both branches of Congress."

In his response, Mr. Cowan said: !'There was danger that the great truth contained in the toast was not recognized by the American people, or rather by their representatives and it was from that quarter alone the dangor came. The people certainly had the right to wield the power of a majority, bu+ it should bo wielded for the purposes of freedom and right, and not for tyranny and vengeance. What was the question to be determined by the people to-day? There were revolutions in Franco and England, and tliey were terrible and how were these revolutions brought about? Simply in the same way that the revolution which is going on to-day was being brought about— by denying the right of representation to tho people. By an act of Congress of the 4th of March, 18G6, ten States were entitled to perhaps fifty members. That law was enacted, had never been repealed. He feared that this country was ou the eve of a revolution. As he had previously remarked, the French and English revolutions were terrible, and yet the men who were part of those resolutions did exactly what the American people were doing—they visited places of amusement and enjoyed themselves while the French Convention was resolving itself into a perpetual session, to meet on the 5th of March, 1867. [Laughter.] lie was prond to respond to the noble sentiment coutained in the toast but at the same time lie was ashamed to say that his countrymen had failed to realize it and carry it out, and that they had laid down abd -succumbed before a fuotion and allowed that great right of representation by the masses to be in part taken away. Tyranny and cowardice were synonymous and that great right was taken away by reason of the cowardice of a few evil-dis
