Thompson is feeling about the naval affair? of the government. He has not yet learned the stem from the stern of a ship. His first question asked when on board of a cutter was, "Wharis y'rsteerin' oar and sweeps' The $2.000.000 treasury fraud does not particularly disturb Washington society. Such things are common in the capital city, and since Hayes has stolen the office of president it is not fashionable to talk about stealing. , Fred Douglass may pass a a black man. He is. anyhow, a gentleman, wtth line old Vir ginia manners. Cincinnati uommerriai. The word "anyhow" in the above is fitted in very artistically. If he has fine old Vir ginia manners, why does Hayes object to having Fred around at the white house re ceptions? The Commercial is mistaken if it thinks to hurt some one's prejudices or feel ings by claiming for Fred "fine old Virginia 'manners." Why not Miami or Mill creek bottom manners? Conan t, assistant secretary of the treasury, seenis to have his home in New Hampshire. He did not have time to go home to vote this time, as the matter Of a little swindle of about two millions in the treasury depart ment was about being discovered, and he was obliged to stay in Washington and keep it covered up. It is creating quite an ex citement in Washington. Suppose Tilden had not been swindled out of his office, what an unearthing of frauds like to this new one just discovered would have taken place. THE BEIGS OF FKAl'O. The time has come for thought, for re solves and for action. Fraud has triumphed. The United States has a president who is a moving, breathing, speaking lie. -He is eiercising rights, privileges (and powers secured by fraud and perjury. Under Grant thieves fattened in office, the various departments of the government were dens of crime, and public morals were debauched, hut Grant himself was placed in pow er by the people, in accordance with the constitution and . the laws of the land. True, he proved recreant to every trust and defiled his high office, but he could point to the ballot-box to the voice of the people and say, "These are my cre dentials." There was no gainsaying the fact that he acquired authority from the highest source, however much he had abused it. The whole case is now changed. The uni versal verdict is that Hayes was not elected, that he is not the choice of the people, that he is a presidential lie, a cheat . and a fraud. As such he is an incubus. a damning disgrace to the coun try, a standing declaration that the highest office known to the republic is oc cupied by a usurper. The New York Express,-iu discussing the subject, . says that "by courtesy, Mr. Hayes is called president. 'The United States constitution expressly 'directs how, when and where a 'president' 'shall be chosen namely, by a majority of 'the electoral vote of an electoral college. "duly appointed either by the legislature of a state or by the votes of a majority of the people of a state. In accordance with the 'constitution, Mr. Tilden received in the States one hundred and ninety-six electoral 'votes from the ieople. and - Mr. Hayes one 'hundred and seventy-two votes from the 'same source. Politicians in Washington af terwards get possession of the election 'through an unconstitutional process, and 'change the eople's vote as it was cast By 'this Mr. Hayes is given twelve votes that 'were polied for Mr. Tilden. By the same 'method, if Mr. Tilden had sued Mr. Hayes 'for twelve d dlars, money loaned, the vote - 'manipulating commission in Washington, if 'called Opto a a court, would decide that it ,'was not Mr. Hayes who owed Mr. Tilden, ;, ,'bat Mr. Tilden that owed Mr. HayeaJ .f , fiy this imc Uiv reign; of fraud begins In

There maybe honest dukes - and honest ml tans, but , Hayes not b-lng a constitution president, is no president at .alL He is simply a fraud. "About seven ' -year, ago " coiitinnes the Express, "northm,m .....hMr.n. unt Into Lou liana. Florida

'and South Carolina for plunder, invented a magic ballot-box tifter for the purpose of

nullifying free elections, and an infernal ac'mhine it was, invented to rob democrats 'in particular of their votes. To deprive American democracy of free suffrage or freedom of the ballot-box by law would be such an act of tyranny, so open and notorious, so oppressive and unconstitutional" 'as to defeat its own wicked purposes, 'wherefore the infernal machine was susared over -with the name of a returning board. The performers and engineers employed about this devilish contrivance 'were able tc throw out eight or ten thousand democratic votes by conjuring elections. To elevate Mr. Hayes into Mr. Tilden's seat less than ten men called returning boards ' and holding three states in the hollow of their hand, disfranchised Florida, South 'Carolina and Louisiana, plundering from the ballot-box of Louisiana over 10,000 'Tilden ballots. Five members of congress 'and three United States judges in Washington shouted amen! and thus politicians have made Mr. Hayes acting president of the United States by returning boards." Under such circumstances we ask, in all gravity, if the time has not arrived for the American people to Bet about the work of wiping out this infamous stigma, and of put ting an end to the reign of fraud? It is not possible that the American people will per!UKlWiV UJU tu, jvvj V " - - - X I mit this crime to proceed without unceasing TiS - ........... I protest, 11 13 HOI puKSiwie luav lb .in ictcnc from honest men of any political party even a ywm-indorsernent. It is not possible that the mockery of supporting an administration that has no claim upon the people what ever will be indulged. Hayes was inaugur ated by the triumph of crime. The people know it, and in their deep humiliation cry out. Great God! what has radicalism accom plished in sixteen years of rule? Public morals debauched, bankruptcy casting its baleful shadows everywhere; people idle, 'thieves in office from ocean to ocean and from lake to gulf troops with their guns loaded standing guard over a couple of crime convicted miscreants who ought to have been in hell years ago, claiming to be governors; constitutions and law trampled upon, and a returning board fraud in the office of president. In these first months of the second century of the republic such is the picture presented for the contemplation of the American people. It is the dawning of the reign of fraud. What will be its high noon? What its setting sun? The demand is organization to arrest its march and hold it up to unutterable scorn. Let the worit oi organization Degin in Indiana, in every county, township, vil lage and school district. Let the people come together and lay the foundation for a thorough organization to overwhelm the villains who have stolen the government, and who with crime stand credentials are administering it in the interest of the radi cal thiet party. In this way Hayes will find his road to perdition uncomfortably hot, and in due time the reign of fraud can be terminated. BOB IXOLRSOLL IX SEW TURK, Bob Ingersoll has been making a speeeh in New York. He is for "reconciliation now. Last summer, when campaigning for a man for the presidency whom he had pro nounced a d d fool, he took great delight in abusing the southern people ' and villifying Mr. Tilden and the democratic party, In short, be sang the song of the '"bloody 'shirt" as loud, lustily and Jong as Morton and Ben Harrison. But the defeat of his chief, in common with other shriekersof the bloody shirt," finally opened his eyes to the fact that this doctrine of hate; this con stant abuse of southern people,' were ruin ous to all our interestx, and so Bob is for ' re conciliation." He don't see so much fear as he did in knocking the heads of confeder ate brigadiers together, but now wants to slap them on the back, take a drink with .1 I inn4 .r.-. n ill vv.s..minr.'' infill, BIIU UUfc l UU1UO 1111 UllVllllUg with them; in short, Bobs lor peace and good times. It is strange that these radicals did not see long ago that the doc trine and teachings of the bloody shirt school were altogether wrong and inimical to the best interests of any portion of our country. Colonel Bob bad a good audience in New York on Wednesday evening, al though the night was wet and cheerless without He made bis audience laugh ar.d cheer with altogether different sentiments from those used last summer. He expressed himself satisfied with the fraud's cabinet. This is important, if true. Perhaps Bob Is like Stanley Matthews we might call them statesmen skirmishing on their own hook Hayes sen-Is them out without any creden lials or letters of credit to sound and manu fact ure public opinion. Matthews went sou'h with his little gun and got into a scrape the first thing. Bob went to New York to sound public sentiment there. If they meet with good luck on their expeditions, all risrht: Haves gets the benfit of it. If not, they will say as Matthews did, that 'these ideas are my own and no one else is to be held responsible." Bob ought to have cone south. He could have taken Packard and Chamberlain and "knocked their heads 'together until their tongues hung out." Then he could have easily disposed of them, Hayes should have transposed his embryo statesmen sent Matthews to lecture in New York and Bob south to get rid of the two bogus governors. By the way, Kvarts should have, been present wheu Ingersoll made his siech, so as to have had all the male New Yorkers present remember him" when they went home to their wives. This would have tended - towards : the great principle ' of "reconciliation." ' With what a tragic air n.l xmnd rntist Bob dwell on the "r" in reconciliation r-r reconciliation. We wonder why Mr. Secretary Evarts did not add a P. 8. to Mr. Stunley Matthews' letter to Packard and beg to be remembered in Mrs. Packard and the little Packard. We hope our uew secretary of state will not MOW re Ullas in WO lUUt meniues i wo,

II ATE AKD THE SOUTH.

.'Hays in his southern policy, so far as de veloped, seems to be experimenting or skirmishing. He is truckling to southern men and influence, and would, therefore, proba bly desire see Nicholls 'and Wade Hamp ton established. 'But instead of being bold and decisive in his movements and convictions he seems to desire that thej should secure themselves in some such a bac 1c -stairway-through-the-kitchen style as he himself w&3 guilty of. in getting into the white house. It is a very mean way, to be sure, but about the only way left for a man that has no natural pluck or grit, nor ability to define and carry out a bold, decided policy. His friends claim for him what they call "amiable obstinacy," a very good quality to have when eight or ten thousand postmasters or pension agents are clamoring around him for offices and position, but for a president of the United States it is a very travesty on clear cut decisions of character. Now Mr. Hayes has no right to play the part of a "great father" to the two southern states Louisiana and South Carolina to use the language of the New York Nation, which applies it to the negroes. We substitute by using the names of the two states referred to, as it seerns to be Mr. Hayes's idea that he is occupying the position of a sort of wiAiwsvn .Hint fm A l'Aat fafKof' TTlO JjaLIUU 0XI 11 1 VII O fy lOLULl. Alia dutv is to treat the two southern states as . " , , . he would any other two states. They are sovereign states, in the union and represented in both houses of congress. . Their citizens are the same as other citizens. The negroes have been nursed and fostered, especially in South Carolina, for 10 or 15 years. They have controlled the state legislature, taxing the people beyond en durance, piling up an immense state debt, etc., etc. The system as understood by them has been fully tried and wofully found win ting. Louisiana has had much the same experience. Now let us have a revival of statesmanship under different conditions. Mr. Haves is the president of the United States fraudulent though his title is, nevertheless president. The constitution defines accurately his duties, let him attend to them and do no experimenting. The first experimeat was Stanley Matthews in the character of a great n itional letter writer, suggesting that the governor resign, and that something else some good position would be assigned them. He had no au thority, so he said, which we do not believe. But however that is, the proposition failed completely. Now Hayes is talking about sending Mr. Wheeler down south again to patch up a compromise in much the same way as he did before, which secured peace for a while, but led to the swindling of Mr. Tilden out of the presidency. This issue was foreseen by Mr. Wheeler when the Louisiana adjustment of 1874 was effected through him. He spoke of it, deprecated it; but afterwards his manhood sb rank away i n to a weakness which lacked strength enough to repel the questionable fruit, which the faulty and rickety adjustment bore into his own garners. Hayes in this soutnern matter is betraying the weakness which even some of his best friends barely concealed during his candidacy. He lacks the boldness and decision which the times demand, now above any other times in our history. He seems to be busy in buying up southern influence by bribing some of their weaker leaders; by dazzling others wi th second place appointments. The times demand a bold, clear cut policy on this southern question. Hampton was elected recognize him, with draw the troops. He asks no more, not even so much. He says he don't care whetLer he is "recognized" or not, so that the troops are withdrawn. He is a bold leader, popular with black and white alike; he can take care of himself. This boldness, this selfreliance is in wonderful contrast with Hayes's timid, Matthews's letter-writing, back kitchen sort of policy. We commend Wade Hampton's way of doing things to his fraudulency. What of Nicholls or Packard? Packard holds the same cre dentials as Hayes. If Hayes thinks they are good, why not "recognize" Packard? Blaine, Morton and the old radical set generally want this done. Hayes is absolutely afraid to do it. - We say understanding! y, afraid to recoynize Packard. What of Nicholls? We believe he wants to recognize Nicholls because he is truckling to influential southern leaders. They aided him really in his transit to the white house, after he got beyond a certain point. If it had not been for Gordon, Hill and Lamar. the recent confirmation of Fred Douglass as marshal of the District could not have happened. Hence he is" anxious that Nicholls should sustain himself, to please leading southern men and their constituent. Now. we say, ir be were not timid, and lacked pluck, he would have taken some decisive stand be fore this. If business is suffering anywhere it is suffering In Louisiana and South Carolina, because of the failure of the general government to take some decisive step in their affairs. The last we have in the way of intimations as to Hayes's southern pol icy is that heVrlll withdraw the troops from South Carolina and Louisiana, provided Hampton and Nicholls give guarantees that the negroes will- be protected. Now Mr. Hayes has no authority for requiring from these gentlemen any such guarantees. The truth Is, tht radical party have always had an itching to rush outside of the constitu tion. The old instrument never seemed to suit them, and Hayes ,is but following in the steps of his predecessors in requiring what he calls guarantees. If be knows h4 history of the sotith or the last 15 years, be must know that wherever the radical party have Wen "driven ' from" power that there the whites and blacks lirf together satisfactorily, peace prevails, business is good and the laws are obeyed. All the trouble existing in the south is in Louisiana and South Carolina, and because of the revomuy v "

baggers and native scalawag radicals to

reverse the will of. the pepole as expressed at the ballot-box. These southern governors can safely give guaran tees, because it is notorious that the negro population are safer and better cared for wherever the radicals have been driven out. These are facts. They can not be successfully contradicted. Hayes does not understand the south or the southern question. His policy is weak and timid because undefined and vascillating, and he seems fearful to take any bold, decisive step. If not, let him stop Matthews and his secretary of state from writing letters, for which no one seems responsible, and define some definite, clear cut programme under the constitution, and manifest the pluck to see it through. THE COLOR LIAE IN VIRGINIA. Hayes, the perjury president, proposes to buy the south with a few petty offices. He seems to have come to the conclusion that southerners are all of the Mosby type, or what is meaner, if possible, of the Henry Watterson school, which compares the presidential swindler to knocking the hoops off of a "brass hooped piggin" and the "spilling 'of a little good democratic milk;" nothing more. A writer in the Richmond Dispatch, over the signature ot J. J., Jr., takes a different view of the subject. He says: The Virginians have a fair allowance of political whilom. Will they, because a thousand or so men in the state want office, stultify their good record In history? The announced policy of Mr. Hayes's administration is to break down the color line at the south, to accomplish which he designs bringing over to his support, and, as a natural consequence, into the radical party, the thousands of southerners whom It 1- supposed he will appoint to office. It is argued thus: If these people take -fllce they will be bound in honor not to assail the administration. They will insensibly faU Into repelling attacks mule on it, aud from thence they ger. to praising it. Then they are gone body and baggage, with their little circle of relatives and friends over to the radical camp. JTetno rtpente fuit turpiSeveral interesting questions, however, arise; the mast Important of them. Will Mr. Hayes give office to men who have acted against him, and turn out and pass by those who have borne the heat and harden of the day, and have suffered Ignominy and martyrdom In his behalf? We rather think not. But if he does, are the Virginians, for the sake of office, to give up principle? 1 It true that the loaves aud fishes, after all, are the objects they have been lighting for? Does polltics, after all, with us consist simply of a strife between the -Ins" and the "out?" I have thought that ever since our conquest we had been struggling and contending to be placed on an equal footing with the northern people and the northern states to be treated wild respect, and regarded as a Deo pie under a ban to be in such a pxltlon that the federal government would no more dare to send a battalion of soldiers to disperse the legislatures of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Virginia than they would to disperse those of Massachusetts, New York and Ohio. When that Is done, when that is admitted, then we have gained the point and settled the principle for wnicu we and our norinern nines tine democ racy) have Insisted since the war. If Mr. naves admits an concedes that, he will have left his own party and come over to us; wc wl'l not have gone over to him. with lour northern democratic states ana 11 democratic southern states a president was elected who recognized that we should be treated as equals and with respect. Through a trick and a trap he was defrauded out of his seat. But we cau, if we preserve our party or. ganization Intact, do it again, and the next time avoid the cunningly devised pitfall. Will the Virginians, will the southern people for a few wretched offices gtve up these ereat advantages they hav alter such strenuous, unremitting, indomitable labor and effort, pained in a 10 years' struggle, in spite of mili tary occupation, carpet-img governments, negro supremacy, and adverse federal legisla tion and interference? We leave the quet-tlou as food for reflection. There is something of more importance to the south than a few offices, and those, if they are offered and accepted, will not hush the storm of indignation of the masses that will continue to beat against the presidential fraud. The crimes that made Hayes presi dent must be made odious. Hayes as president is a standing lie, a rose cancer, a . running tumor, a deep, damning disgrace to the American name. He can not give away enough of his stolen swag to hush denunciation. There is noth ing to save him from the wrath of man or the vengeance of God. Hayes can not "come over" to the democrats. He would have to wash himself a thousand times in Jordan before the leprosy of crimes would be eured. The devil could as well enter heaven. The ''color line" won't save Hayes. He may drag out a mis erable existence in the white house, but dead or alive he is a president by fraud Perjury gives, him athe right to command the army and the navy of the United States, and to do all other acts of the chief .execu tive of the nation. But with all this power he will not be able to obtain an indorsement of the crimes by virtue of which he occu pies the white house. I ' The extra session of congress, if called.will be to provide money to pay the army. If the army is to be used for the Infamous business of protecting the radical thief party when engaged in plotting and perfecting frauds, it had better disband, and congress ought to know if the presidential fraud proposes a continuation of the infamons business com menccd by Grant before it gives a dollar for the purpose of sustaining it. Let the good work of scotching fraud commence. Lud! Lud I Now it is published on Fred Douglass that he was president of the Freedman's bank at Washington, and had issued circulars telling tha colored, folks it was all right when a lot of white radicals were steal ing everything there was In it How is that for the colored gentleman who has "line old Virginia manners." as Halstead says. But Halstead is not reliable on this po'lI,t as he never bad the ttUret Into "old Virginia sovtptv' to tell what kind of "manners" old j Virginia had. Grant is' coming; west before leaving for Knmna. Mr. G.. Mrs. G, and Jesse, the youngest G., will be the European party The ex-P. don't know where he will tie up chiefly in London, he thinks, as they speak Knglish there. He may be away two years but don't know; that will depend. upon h getting homesick. He speaks of his retire ment from office with great glee; he don want to rule forty million of sovereigns any more.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Item Collected for the BaeOt of the Raral lopulatIou. THE SOIL FOB CLOVER. Clover reguires, absolutely, a drained soil, else it will freeze out; in the spring the plant will lie on the surface if the season is a severe one for frost It is hence that our creek and river soil is good for clover, as it is generally of a sandy and gravelly nature, and therefore well drained. Such land takes manure well, and hence a top dressing, harrowed in, will secure a catch and the atmosphere will do the rest, as clover de rives most of its strength from this source. In this way the most barren hills have been made productive. and paid all along from the start Let it be considered what an amount of root material a thick set crop of clover will produce, and little more need be said as to the benefit the land receives in this way. Land which yields but little grain beyond the amount sown, and scarcely any pasture at all, may be made by clover during a period of 18 months to grow large crops of grain for several years, while the clover itself win be highly remuneratins. The land is not only enriched in this way. but the crowd of the roots mellows the soil and aids in its drainage. Thus our poorest land can be at once brought up, paying well in doing it liut it must be kept up. If the clover is omitted for a long time and no manure given the land, it will go back again to its hrst unremunerating condition, but clover will keep it up. and it may be used in suc cession without any grain crop intervening lor many-years, the land improving all the while. THE STRAWBERRY GRUBS. G. Wright in Gardner's Monthly: We are much troubled here with "grubs," which eat the roots of strawberry plants in certain localities, whether the ground has been ma nured or not; and I think the larvae found in manure heaps is entirely distinct from that which destroys our strawberries and other roots. The latter is more slender and hairy than the other, and does not increase in size so rapidly; besides I have never found the young ones earlier than the middle of July, while full grown grubs are found in the manure in June. If the smallest grub touches a root of strawberry the eaves wilt in the sun, and we search the rascal out and save the plant I have a plot or ground two rods wide and ten long, which I have been salting in March for several j ears, using a bushel ot salt broadcast on strawberries, and have no trouble with "grubs." The next plot sepa rated by a row of peach trees, has only been salted twice, and I nave taken out with the aid of the chickens over a thousand grubs, while the next plot is literally filled with grubs, and I have scarcely saved a plant lor two years. None of this ground was ever manured, but has been a garden sinoe the prairie sod was turned. Salt does not kill the larvae, for I I have kept them in brine for 10 minutes. and they crawled away as smart as ever; but 1 thinic it must oe unneaimy ior tne mue ones. TRANM'LAXTIXÖ TREES. In transplanting -evergreens, above all things keep the roots from drying winds. Kven the delicate hemlocks may be removed from the woods if the transition is rapid enough to prevent the roots drying. As a general rule, however, nursery grown hem locks succeed best, as their roots, grown in the fine earth, are in a compact body, and can be removed without . breakage. As to the time of year, spring and fall have each their advocates. They can be transplanted either in mid-spring or mid-autumn, if not too large, and if care enough is used to prevent their drvinp. Cutting back is a good thing, but care should be used not to leave big stumps, as evergreens of any kind will bleed to death it large wounds are made. The safest plan is to cut all the limbs half way back, mere neea oe no xear oi spoiling the shape of the tree, so far as hemlocks are concerned. They have so strong an upward instinct and so nice a sense of equilibrium that no kind of pruning will prevent their balancing," after they have once tauen to their new home. . CAKED BAG IX COWS. Caked bag is a common trouble among tows coming in at this sloppy time of year and some cows have the trouble every season as regularly as they calve. The cure is rubbing with Boftening oil camphorated sweet oil is very good for the purpose, but the wain thing is the rubbing, wpich should be gently but steadily performed as long as any lump remains In the bag. A common practice is to strip the milk as dry as possible and let the hungry call butt ana suck aown me swelling. This, however, is a rude process, and the butting sometimes causes inflamma tion and bruises much more dangerous than the caking itself. The milk should be removed freouently as long as the cake re mains, every hour or two i: possioie. t.EI.ECTI5 hEr.U. Greater care should be taken than is cus tomary with most farmers in the selection of mire seed, especially potatoes. It is beconn lie eiceeuiiiKiy uiuuuu in miishuhcv to obtain strictly pure varieties grown in this section of the state. What are sold a neach blows are freouently a mixture of that variety with some other, ine eariy rose is seldom found strictly pure. The . . . . . mi Shaker russet and several other excellent kinds are scarcely to be found at all. This same fact is true, to a greater or less extent, of ether seeds. It is a result of lack of care in selecting seed, and is a great loss to the producer, reducing the prices of Ins eroo. and lowering the reputation of his productioi Suggested that farmers would dowell to c ub together and send to some reua ble commission house in New l ort, and buy some of the French varieties that are being imported in large quantities since the high prices have prevailed there. We certainly need pure, fresh seed from some source to take the place of the mixed varieties that are now almost tue only xina to De iouna. THK CAR Or STOCK. Regular attention to all live stock is very important If au animal is only half fed. it is better that it be half fed regularly. as it will suffer less iniurv than if attended tnnnedavand neglected the next But it is poor economy to stint food. "The liberal soul shail be made fat." To see one's stock contenteil, comfortable and happy, is not only a happiness to a good farmer, but money in bis pocket. Regular hours of feeding, regular watering, regular rations, and regular res are conducive to eomtort With reeularity there is no haste, no waste. nothinz is foritotten. and nothing 's dne twice over. Animals then digest what they eat, and thrive.

Iloallb r Caniry Home. New York Tribune. THK H0tK. ' The only Drobabl rninm nf itn. 4health in a farm house lies in the condition. of the cellar, or of the spsce which separates the lowest floor from th pronnrt it hM n " - . . be a cellar. onsprvA imtli.r tt A w- mr.A from standing water or decaying vegetable matter (allowed to accurjulate tlmre through the negligence of servants). If the house is built UPOn the prminnrt th lw.. ny0 .... - - should be at least 18 inches above the ground, and the sides should be so open that the air can circulate freely through the space. THE WELL. If the water is clear and sweet, ind fro from any unpleasant oder, one may nrttTsafely assume that uo harm is to be antici pated from this source. Farmers are often n tne habit, however, of haneine meat in the well for the purpoe of keeping it cooL A pretty severe epidemic (in 1874) of drrho?a, in a boarding house at one of the healthiest Long Island summer resorts, was traced to the existence of a decomposing fchoulder of mutton at the bottom of the well, into which it had fallen accidentally. THE PBIVjb There is little or no aaneer from con tamination of the air by the eontents of the privy. The real danger lies in the diffusion of these contents through the 6oil and their contamination of the water with the well. To avoid such a possibility, the privy should be placed at least GO or 70 feet from the well, and if the direction of the natural drainage currents be known in such a position that the contents of the privy will drain away from the contents of the well. Better yet, let the privy be so constructed that its offensive contents shad simply lie upon the nirface of the ground, and let there be easy access to it from behind, so that fresh earth may be frequently added, and the entire accumulation removed, say once a week. THE PLOPS. How common is it for the kitchen author ities of a farm house to throw the slops upon the ground just outside the kitchen door. and perhaps within six feet of the well. I have known of a boarding bouse epidemic of diarrhea which could be traced to no other source than the contamination of the well water by a shallow jool of sun exposed, foul smelling eloos. A cemented cistern 6hould be built about 75 or 100 feet from the house, and at a distance from the well, and to this all the kitchen slops, vegetable waste, eta, should be conducted through a suitable pipe or conduit From the sewera these matters may be fed to the pigs, or thrown upon the ground at a proper distance from the house. . THE ICE. The ice may be so loaded with foul vege table matter as to give rise to quite severe disturbances of the bowels and stomach. If it be found free from imbedded impurities, and if, when melted, it be free from an un pleasant odor, one may safely assume that no danger is to be anticipated from this source. An interesting epidemic oi bowel troubles was traced to impure ice last summer at live Beach. PBAI5AGE. This is a difficult subject to investigate. and one concerning which I hardly dare venture any remarks in this place.
