The only important, definite action of the National Agricultural Congress, whicli has been in session at Indianapolig recently, is contained in the following resolutions reported from. the Committee on Railway System, which were adopted, as follows: . 'WneßreAs, We recognize the railways of the country as an effective means of developing its agribultural resources, and as having an interest, common and inseparable with the eonntry through which they pass, and WHEREAY, We hayve in times past fostered and aided |them by liberal charters and eonecessions made by private and publie parties, and still desire to encourage farther development of the railway system; therefore Resolved, 'That a fair degree of reci-

procity wonld suggest that corporations having a common interest and publie aid shonld in their turn endeav< or to-snbserve the interests of the country through which they pass;, by charging fair rates of freights, and by the equitable and just) treatment of all localities wlong their I\ines. ' Resolved, That. on the contrary, railroad corporations, in many instances, | have heen exorbitant in their charges, " have diseriminated unjustly between localities, and have faliled to respond. to the generous grants of powers and monies that have been given them by onr National and State governments. Resolved, That the system adopted and now practiced:in the building of railroads—viz., the soliciting of stock subseriptions from individuals, corporations and counties, ald after receiv- | ing these subsidies to depress the val- | ne of said stock by enforeing it upon the market and depressing its value to such an extent as to enable a few specnlators to have confrol of the road, thereby depriving those who aided in its construction of all voice in thef management, and increasing the cost | four or five times above the amount it. would have cost if those managing it/ - had thé foresight Lo have had the funds on hand at the [start to build and equip the road: tvhen,’ffaquiring the producer and shipper to pay «dividends upon the fieticious cost' by charging excessive freight and passenger tariffs, operates most injuriously to the best interests of the farming elass, and calls loudly: tor reform and vestraint by- adequate) legislation. ‘ ‘ Resolved, That we recommend all farmers to withhold their votes and their aid from railway corporations unless it is eonceded and agreed that corporations so ‘aided are subject to regulations by the power incorporating them, and will not, after receiving the advantages conferred by public authority, claim the iimmunities of a private corporation. ; | Resolved, That we endorse and will support the doetrine promulgated by some of our conrts, that a railway corporation in reeeiving and exercising the State’s right of eminent domain, and in receiyving aid raised by taxation from publiec authorities has thereby accepted and admitted itself to be a corporation with a publie funection,and -subject to the power from which it has . received its eharter in the limitation of its rvates. : T Resolved, 'T'hat a railway, being practically " & monopoly, controlling the transportation of nearly all the country through which it passes, and that as competition, except at a few points, cannot be relied upon to fix rates, that, therefore, it hecomes the duty of the sState to fix reasonable maximum rates, - affording a fair ‘remuneration to the Stransporter, and without being an onerous charge to the producer and con-

SUmer, . Resolved, That inasmuch as Belginm thas succeeded in regulating the rates upon railways by government lilm§, we ask an investigation of the proposition to control the rates upon existing railways by trunk lines, built and controlled by the State authorities, and rin at fixed, uniform and cheap rates. Resolved, That the consolidation of parallel lines of cailway is contrary to publig poliey, aud should be prohibited by law. . , 7 o Resolved, That wherever a railway corperation owns or eontrols aline or lines in two or more States, it is the right and duty of the general gdwern--lent to regulate the rates of fréight and fare upon, sueh lines, under the constitutional power to regulate commerce between the States. , Resolved, That we recommend the thorough organization of thé farmers of the country in loecal, county and State organizations for the purposeof reforming the great abuses, and dealing out equal and exaet juctice to all men, o : “The subject of cheap transportation,” says the Daviess county! Democral, “is one that has engaged a lange share of attelipion, and the report of _the committee on the subject was recommitted, after considerable discussioti./I'his is a matter that will'tequire the most delicate management, and one that cannot be. reached without legislationon the part of several States, and, to b effective, that legislation must be ‘universal. A break in the linldf between the extreme points, will «lesiroy all efforts that may be made in that alil‘ection, Indeed, it is doubtful if anything can be accomplished withont the" intervention of Congress, the propriety of which is doubted by many, although the power to do so is unquestioned under that provision of the Constitution which delegates to Congress the right to regulate commerce hetween the States, It strikes us very forcibly, that nothing short of Federal, action ¢an accomplish the end. But here the agriculturists, for a time, v‘villl find themselves confronted with a powesful, organized lobby, which has control of the legislation of Congress, and will prévent, if possible, any action faveorable to cheap transportation.— This lobby will have to be met and their schemes exfipsefl, and the memhers of Cangress who labor in their interest, must he met by their constituents with a decided rebuke, for, after all, the power, to correct all the evils under which we lanor, caused by the neglect or corporation of legislatons, is in the hands of the people.” Riea

THE EXCELLENT AND THE WRETCHED - 'FARMER. ; The one sells all his corn and grain, _or should he feed some pigs they lie in the woods whére the manure is lost ~among the trees or is washed away ~down a stream of water. He crops year after year, returning no equivaient for the fertility drawn from the woil which his erops have grown, sel- - ling eyerything grown whie%\r it is possible to market, e saves money, is an ez:ioenenthttneagé ?{:t from the im_po*gugeds‘ e land has been a‘w‘:iete ed farmer, The other buys . stock in a semi-fat condition, and with |

his produce fé¢eds the animals till they are first class meadt, thus gaining an extra price for the meat he bought as well as for the additional weight; but there ave{three sources of profit in this transaction ; in the first place the weight bought is worth more by a cent or two per pound for being made fat and ripe, and then the increased weight pays for the food, while the manure made is a third return for the consumption of produce, and a farmer who contrives in this way to keep up ‘the strength of the soil is a sensible man and an excellent farmer. It is meritorious to make two blades of grass grow “where only one grew before, what is it to bring land so low as only to grow one blade where two forl merly flonrished ? :

| COOKED SUGAR-BEETS FOR COWS. An intelligent farmer informs the Canada Farmer that he has wintered five head of cows this season, chiefly on sugar-heets, and has been very suceessful. The cows gave an average of seven quarts daily from cach cow, np to-the last month, and the quantity now afforded is somewhat under six quarts, The food consumed has heen three pecks daily of sugar-beets, slieed with ehaff and eut-straw--the whole being boiled together in an ordinary® large size farmer's Kettle, set on astove. the usual way. ;

\' Each cow had two pailstul of this ‘mess night and morning, with some 'st,r;qr at noon, and the kettle contains enotgh for two days supply. The catitle are all fat and sleek, The quanti--13 of land sown with beets.did not exLeed one and one-quarter acre. But the erop was good, some of the roots weighing ten or twelve pounds, though smany did not exceed three or four pounds. The horses ate them greedily, and as an alterative, it seems to produce high health. The milk realized six cents a guart and consequently the joperation has been a most profitable ‘one, on a small scale. ; ~ Our informant states. that he has carefully compared the results as food for stock of mangles and sugar-beets, both being cooked before being-fed to the cattle, and he greatly preters the sygar-heet, : _

' MAKING TEA. s The most important thing in. brewing a cup of tea consists in having the water in the tea kettle freshly boiled, and one should never use that which has been steaming and stewing for several hours. So turn out all the water in your kettle,and.fill it up with fresh; pure water ; then boil it up brisk--Iy, and, as soon as.the steam appears, turh a small quantity of water into the tea pot and shake it about in it.— ‘Then pour it out, and add one teaspoonful of tea for each person who will drink from the pot—(this is.the old rule of our grandmothers.) Over this pour one large coffee cup of boiling water, and for breakfast tea let it boil exactly teh minutes; boil hard. But for green and Japan teas proceed as above, and then place the tea*pot on the back part of the stove,” or upon the elevayé(l reservoir for water, and let it steep from five to eight minutes. Tea made from freshly boiled water, and steeped in this manner, is an entirely . different beverage from that prepared in any other way. In water, when first boiled, there is always a Ssmall amount of alkali, which seems to have a peculiar effect in extracting the pleasant properties of %he tea; and I can tell the instant 1 taste a cup of tea whether the: water has just boiled or been boiling for even half an honr. ¢ = :

OANTMEAL, BONE AND MUSCLE. Liebig has shown that oatmeal is almost as nutritious as the very best English beef, and that it is richer than wheaten hread in the elements that go to form bone and musele. Professor Forbes, of Edingburg, during some twenty years, measured the breadth and height, and also tested the strength of both the arms @nd loins of the students in the uniyersity—a very numerous class, and:of various nationalities, drawn to Edingburg by the fame of his teaching. He found that the height, breadth of the chest and shoulders, and strength of arms 'and loins, the Belgians were at the bottom of the list; alittle above them the French; very much higher the English; and highest of all the Scoteh Irish from Ulster, who, like the natives of:Scotland, are fed in their eavly years with at'least-one meal a day of good milk and good oatmeal porridge. Speaking of oatmeal, an exchange remarks that a very good drink is made by putting about two spoonsful of the mealinto a tumbler of water. The western hunters and trappers consider it the best of drinks, as it is at once nourishing;, stilnulating and satisfying.

JOSEPH HARRIS'S PLAN. My. plan of improved- agriculture does not necessarily imply the production of any more wheat, or any more grain of any kind that we sell, than we raise at present. I would raise thirty bushels of wheat per acre every third year, instead of ten buslels every vear. If we summer-followed and plowed under clover in erder to produce the thirty bushels of wheat once in three years instead of ten bushels every year, no more produce of any kind would be raised, But my plan does not. contemplate such a result.— On my own farm I seldom summer-fol-low and never plow under clover. 1 think I can enrich the farm nearly as much, by feeding the clover to animals and retur;ning the manure to the land. The animals do not take out more than from five to ten per ecent. of the most valuable elements of plant food from the clover. And so my plan, while it produces as much and no more grain to sell, adds greatly to the fertility of the land, and gives an increased produetion of beef, mutton, wool, butter, cheese, and pork.—Admerican: Agriculturalist. !

‘ . PATENT RIGHTS. i It is astonishing how many farmers buy “patent rights,” with the idea that they can make thousands and thousands of dollars. The way it ‘comes about is this: One man in a county will have realized considerable from patent rights, and that will be sufficient to induce othery to attempt the same thing. Then itdis only necessary for séme stranger with an oily tongue and a trifling invention to come along, and they are ready to take the bait, some even borrowing money and mortgaging their farms, sure of winning it all back." That farmers, having common sense, and knowing hy hard experience how dollars are won, should be deluded in this way is a great mystery, and it is to be confessed’ that they are only half made.

'REMEDY FOR THE CABBAGE WORM. A correspondent of the New York l T'imes, replies to a man who wants to know how to free his cabbage from the } cabbage worm. “Thirty years’ experience enables me to tell him. Get what is called here shipstuff, or shorts, such as we feed to stock— wheat bran will do as good as the shorts; examine the cabbage before they head; if you see the web of the caterpillar, or holes in the leaves of the bud, put a tablespoonful of the shorts in the head. If hard rains follow, you may have to repeat. The cure is effectual. The worms become mired in the 'shorts made wet with the dew. The worms seldom attack the cabbage after they are headed,

BREWER'S GRAINS. = I Brewer’s ‘grains causes a good flow of milk, but it is not rich in eream.— They are not nutritious feed; a large portion of the stareh of the barley having been changed inte sugar by the process of . malting and removed in the masher, ledves not much beside the husk, with some of the unaltered. starch. At four cents a bushel grains would be cheaper feed than corn meal at sixty-five cents when milk is the sole object; if butter is wanted, corn meal would he the cheapest. Grains with hay would probably be more desirable -in the milk dairy than turnips and hay for more than one reason, unless the turnips were steamed. Graing have the effect of making very poor, unsubstantial flesh, and cows long fed or fed to/excess on them are apt to have sore mouths, and other symptoms of ‘impoverished bleod, although they may appear. in good condition for a time. ; HINTS TO HORSEMEN, o * -We have seen a horse whose hips were never healed. after striking two or three times in passing through a narrow - way. Another dangerous practice is the leading of horses out’ of the barn door, by the side of loads of hay, grain, ete. A slight blow upon the hip will sometimes so excite a high spirited horse that the person leading looses control over him, and heescapes upon the juinp. breaking his shoulder and hips as he proceeds, leaving patches of skin. and. hair, as evidence that he has got through.-— Many a valuable horse has been ruined/in This way, and many a valuable one cah be saved by never leading him | throngh a narrow space.—[N. E. Far--INner,

: GARGET IN COWS, . When cases of garget occur, the first thing to be done is to givelthe cow a pound and a half of salt, and if this does not physic in four hours, repeat the dose. The next thing is to change her food from milk producing to some kind which will not produce such milk, as straw, or over ripe hay. I have never known a severe ease of garget cured. We somtines get the better of it for a shorttime, but a cow once having it bad will be almost sure to have it every time she catches cold, and it never growsless. Feed the cow for beef, R, : i Rules for Bathing. ‘l. Never bathe soon after eating. 2. Never take a full bath nor go into the surf less than three hours after a full meal. 3. The best time for bathing is an hour or two before breakfast, or as long before dinner. 4. Never eat soon after bathing. ' 5. Those who bathe in the evening should not remain long in the water. 6. Be sure that the body is uniformly warm at the time of bathing. 7. Never go into the waterin a state of fsdt-i;.’,‘ll(*. 8. Never bathe when the respiration and circulation arve disturbed in consequence of violent exercise or any other eause. 9. Prespirvation is no nhj"".;t’i(fll:l) to going into enkt water, providaed the action of the heart and the breathing ave npot disturbed, and the system not in a state of fatigue. 10. After bathing keeyi the body comfortably warm by fire or exercise, and do not expose to g dranght of cold sir, ==Netence of Health. L 2

T projected balloon vovage of Professors Donaldson and Wise from Boston Common across the Atlantic, in aid of which the Boston Boavd wf Aldermen has voted three thousand dollars, will doubtless again brine prominently Wefore the public the problem of wrial navigation. The voyage is intended to test tlie correctness of a theory, originated by Prof. Wise thirty years ago, that at a height of abiout two miles above the surface of the earth the whole body of the atinosphere moves toward the tast with a velosity of about 2 hundred miles” an howr. lln a recent interview, Professor Wise stated that he had made fonr hundred and forty-six halloon voyages, in ninty-six out of every hundred of which the balloon has drifted rapidly in an easterly direction after reaching: a certain height. He thinks he can cross the Atlantic in from sixty to seventy hours and expects to. come down in England or France. llf the contemplated experinient shows this theory to be_correet, Prof. Wise wili have demonstrated tlie practicability ofF-a means of transit in one direction more than twice as rapid' as by railroad. In the present knowledge of air-ship-building, however, wrial voyages are attended with such wncertainty as to the manner or place aof their terinination, that it Jis not likely balloons would often be used to cross the Atlantic save by those who are willing to risk a great deal in hoth these particulars for a speedy passage:
