The Repube of Kraut. The first struggle of Gen. Grant when he assumed command of the Army of the Potomac was with an armed enemy in the wilderness of Virginia. A fierce and bloody contest followed, but his resources at a General were sufficient to cope with the enemy, protected though that enemy was by the forests. He came out victorious, although the effort came near destroying his army. He gained, however, th prestige of success, which strengthened him for future battles. Grant having stepped from General to President, finds himself in his new field of labors in a tierce struggle with the politicians of the party which elected him Chief Magistrate. At the very outset of his term he is engaged in a war, while less bloody than that in the Wilderness, yet it has tested his capacity to the utmost, and proved to be fal more serious, not only to himself, but also to his administration, in fact, it has already resulted in a epulse, an inglorious

defeat, and compelled hin, at the very threshold of his Presidential term, to seriously consider the question whether he shall not unconditionally sarrender himself into the hands of the unscrupulous politicians. President Grant started off with declarations fcr reform in the collection of the revenue, opposition to all plundering aid corruption in official positions, for economy, and a strict accountability in all departments of the Government. It was announced that his first move would b a made upon the whisky ring?, Indian rings, Treasury ring- and revenue rins, v, Inch have been tati.ig out the substance ol the people for several j'ears past, and, with the assistance of Congress, swelling our national debt. As a move against tbc Indian ring, he placed ex-Governor Cox, of Ohio, whom the politicians of that State had shelved because he would not become their tooJ, in the Interior Department. As a move to break up the Whisky King, the revenue fauxfr, and corruption in that branch of the service, he placed Alexander T. Stewart in the Treasury Department. The announcement of the latter selection created a consternation among the politicians. They sv.v that either Stewart's withdrawal must be effected or their plundering schem s w ere at an end. Acting upon this idea the Radical politicians from one end of the country to the other set up a howl, 'hey rallied their forces, brougb int. 5 service the Whisky Ring and all oth'ir Rings whose existence were threatened by Stewart's appointment. These forces WtK marshalled at Washington, and made a bold and determined effort agaiust Stewart, and for Boutwell as his successor. They found an old and obsolete law on the statute books which aided them in their fight sgainst Stewart. Taking advantay. Grant's blunder in asking the modification of this law, as far as it related to Mr. Stewart, instead of for its unconditional repeal, they succeeded in placing (ir.tnt in an awkward position, and bo far entangling him that they held the mastery In vain did the President and Mr, Stewart attempt to adapt themselves to the unexpected situation forced u; a them by this old law. But the politicians and Rings, seeing the advantage that they had gained, followed it up. and would ac cept nothing short of the complete w thdrawal of Stewart. Nothing else would 9uit them. Grant, after t wo or three daj parley, yielded, Stewart resigned, and the first victory was proclaimed for the politicians and the plundering rings. (J reut was the rejoicing wilh these classes from one end of the country to the other Elated by the first success, the politicians took courage and moved upon Grant with renewed vigor, with a detenninat .on to control the appointment for Secretary of Treasury. They united in their demand for Mr. Boutwell, claiming that he was demanded by the party and the country. Grant hesitated, tried to induce tliein to take David A. Wells, or John K.Williams, President of one of the banks of this city. The politicians refused t listen to either, and Grant's hesitancy made them all the more persistent in their demands, until the pressure was so strong and so loud that he yielded, and sent to the Senatt the name of BovtwelL Could General Grant to-day look into the private meetings of the politicians and the plundering rings, and witness tue rejoicing and elation over their success, he could not fail to see how completely he has been thwarted in his proposed reforms and his plans for the honest collection of the revenue. These rings have defeated him on the start, and by their victory have obtained additional strength, a command of the situation, and the aaalniaYI which will give them a'l the advantage in the ne.it contest with the President. Their success has been as important to them as the capture of Vict s burg was to Grant when fighting the armed enemka of the country, and they are already organizing to obtain control of all other Departments necessary to give the numerous rings free, full and clear sailing. The Treasury Department is the stronghold. It is the citadel which commands all the othor positions necessary to be gained. Its power under the Tenure ofOtfice iaw is greater than that of the White House. Realizing this, the politicians and rings were determined to obtain full control, and they have succeeded. Grant's desire was to conduct that t .epartment of the Government in a businesslike way: to bring into its administration the time business like tact and management wuieh lead to success in private business. This was the v.,-y thing which th politichUM did not want. It would cut off their profits, and put an end to their schemes of plunder. They desired to make that department, in all its ramification?, from the main office in Washington down v. the most insignificant c ustom home and In ternai revenue official, a mere polil machine. They entered into a, fight with Grant for that pvrpoae, hi. I ha oeoff victorious. In yielding to tLeif demand for the appointment of outv. ,!, id t-ad of taking some p rson like .; r !v William.-' or David A. Wells, whom he preferred next to Stewart, the ne w I'n meat tana tied bis own hands, and will find it difficult to extricate himself. Bhonld the Senate persist in retaining the Tesnre-of-)fflce law, Grant will in this now efta tion find it impossible to carry out the n forms which he has proposed, and his adniinistration will only be a repetition of the plundering and stealing rings which characterized his predecessor's. The only question left for him now is, whether he will unconditionally surrender into the hands of the politicians, and henceforth do their bidding, or make a bold and determined effort to rescue his administration from the disgrace which is sure to folio? a com plete victory of the politicians and rings I This is the dilemma which he is now placed in, and on his dec i ion rests the question of failure or success of his administration. New York CTfiaen Our Revolutionary Progress. Two results of a war of sections'. The subjection of a part o the Stat of the Union to the absolute dorninition of the oth ;r part ; and 2. The elevation of one branch of the legislative power in tne Federal Government to a condition of en tire independence of its co-ordinate branch, and to the virtual extinguishment of the minority have not existed without their appropriate couseriuences. IJowever wisely or unwisely men use the power that they have acquired, they do not have it long in their pfmsession without arriving at the belief that it is safer in their hands than it mM be in the hands of others ; from which state of mind the distance id not great to the conclusion tiiat

they are the persons to whom it legitimately belongp. The results which we huve pointed out have produced two distinct although cognate tendencies in the party in pooaoa sion of the Government : 1. A tendency to centralization to absorb the power of the States, and to make the Federal Government supreme in local as in national affairs; 2. A tendency to strip the executive and judicial branches of the central government of their proper functions with a view to the enhancement of the authority of the legislative. These are revolutionary tendencies, and either of them allowed to operate without restraint would work a radical change in the character of government in the united States, and in the normal relation between the Government and the governed, as they were fixed by the Constitution. It is not to be believed that a m-tj rity, or even a large minority, of the people of the United States are in tV.vor of such a

revolution as would take place under the operation of these ideas ; but it does not require a majority of the whole to work a revolution. Revolutions are wrought, not so much by the agreement ot the many, as by the activity of the lev . The American revolution was fomented by comparatively a small number of persons, and it was not till things were brou rht to such an issue that men were compelled to choose their side9, that the masses acceded. So the leaders of the secession movement found it necessary to precipitate and break the peace in order to secure that unanimity without which active operations would have been impossible. Men allow themselves to be impelled by their party leaders into the support of measures which, left to themselves, they wou d Lot approve ; and, with the best intentions, became the implements by which great wrongs arc committed. A small number, sure of their idea, and ready to use every available means to carry it into practical effect, will, if they persist, scarcely fail, in the end, to be successful. The revolutionary party in the United Statrs has in its possession all the institutional means t sseutial to the accomplishment of its purpose?. It is in possession of the legislative branch of the Government so absolutely as to be independent of the assent of Uta executive and of the dissent of the judicial branches. It has encroached upon both the executive province and the judicial to the extent, in respect to the former, of stripping it of a large section of its Constitutional authority, and, in respect to the latter, to the passage ot laws to direst it, in particular cases, of its legitimate jurisdiction. It regularly exercises the discretion of admitting or rejecting members of Congress upon the basis of its own interest, and without regard either to their Couustiiutional qualifications, or to the standards which itself has Oft iblished. It is a remarkable fact that while the Republican party stands charged, by its own organs, with every form of practical mil-government : revolution iiy tendencies, encroachments upon the liberties of the people, inattention to affairs of importance to the genera well-being, extravagance in its expenditures, and personal corruption of the most flagrant character, it exhibits little symptoms of disintegration. Those of its organs which are most free to exP an its errors and condemn its misdeeds, are none the less assiduous to represent it as the only party in whose hands the public interest can be safely reposed, or to visit with the severest censures all who manifest any disposition todnaert its ranks, to obstruct its operations, or to defeat the ends it is laboring to secure. In fact, the party is placed before the people in the attitude Of a monarch who has acceded to his place by inheritance, or has by virtue of a iong and indisputed occupancy acquired a legitimate possession, whose title is none the less valid because he happens to DS personally a tyrant or a profligate and in whose case the only remedy is to wait patientiy until he is removal by the course of nature or by a voluntary resig nation. We are virtually told that thereis no remedy : that we must endure the misgovernment and abide the risks of the revolution, not because they are desirable but because they who misgovern and revo lutionize represent the ultimate political authority the supreme right to the possession of the State. In the doings of Congress, or in the say ings of its majority as officially reported, tnere is no appearance ot doubt that the power of the majority is unlimited, and its wisdom infallible. Men. who are law yers Oy calling, who profess not only to have studied the Constitution, hut to be bound to regard its provisions, and who have hail legislative experience in other times than the present, and when other ideas prevailed, seem to have become in capable of the notion that there are either natural or institulional limits to the powers of the Federal Government, and actually legislate upon the assumption that the people have no rights except such as they have received from Congn M, and which Congress may, at any time, suspend or abolish. Therefore it is that among the ablest, most active, most learned and experienced leaders of the majority, it is practically held that the powers of Congress extend to everything irom the regulation ot the manner in which individual citizens shall enter into private contracts with each other to the making and unmaking of a State constitution. Nothing is too high to be above, nothing too low io be beneath its jurisdiction. No institution can be so sacred, no personal act so private, as to le free irom Congressional intervention. It is usual to set down these statements ad dishonest; as willfully acting upon predicates which they know to be false, and professing opinions in whose soundness they have no confidence ; but is this strictly correct? From the alternative that they are either lamentably ignorant I or reprehensibly iusincere, there is no es caping ; but which are they ignorant or insincere ? For the sake of that respect which every man ought to do his utmost to preserve for the rare to which he belongs, it is better to believe, if we can, that we are ruled by fools, than thai we are ruled by knaves. It is no uncommon thing for men so to tamper with their sense ol right as to have lost the power to discriminate. There is no force like that of fanaticism, and especially when coupled with feelings of personal interests, to extinguish in man the attribute of reason, and the capaeity to distinguish justice from injustice. The same has befallen the members of the long Congress of the United States which Dele those of the long Parliament in the time of the English revolution. They began honest, and they ended knavish fanatics. They began with an exaggerated sense of the rights of a cla s, and they ended with no respect for the rights ol any, and no regard for any in terest but their own. The longer they kept together, the more unwise, unjust and domineering they became; and thenwas no act of the dictator Cromwell in which the people more generally and cordially acquiesced than their expulsion from their seats, and the closing of the doors of the House of Parliament in their faces. It is a great misfortune to the people o the United States that the present Con gress is, to so great an extent, made up of the old materials of men who have cultivated disregard of the right and who. if they ever had a clear conception of the spirit of a free government, have long since parted Irom it forever. A Congn aj of new material, even had it come from the tame party, would have been a change of almost incalculable value There WOfdd have been Ickh audaeity in wrorip? doing. A period ol scholarship would

have been required to have educated another set of men to the same indifference to consequences for which the present is so unha;.piiy distinguished. Missouri BeptHicetn,

The Grant Gift Enterprise. "Mack," in a Washington letter, suggests the following circular to the Presiident as a means of conveying general information to the thousands who would like to know more about the enterprise : Headquarters Grant Gift Enterprise, White House, March, 1869. The following instructions are issued for the benefit of those seeking office under the new administration : Applicants must etf.te the extent and character of the contribution made by them ; the time when made ; its value then, and its value now. If it consisted of real estate they must specify whether it was improved or unimproved ; whether town or country property. If city lots, whether corner or otherwise ; also, whether abutting on an ally or not. If country property, how near to railroad, and whether prairie or timbered. If improved city property, whether gas and water are in the rooms. If the contribution consisted of monev, the applicant must state the precise sum, and whether it was in bonds, gold, or currency.

The Murder of Gen. Hindmau. Tiik particulars of the horrid murder of Gen. T. C. Hindman, of Helena, Ark last fall, arc yet fresh in the public mind. VV hile tue General was sitting, after tea, in the midst of his family, the stillness oi the air was broken by the sharp crack ol a gun. A ball whizzed through a window, aud Gen Hindman fell from Ids chair, morially wounded. That the deed was the act of SOSM the Radicals there could be no doubt , but every effort to fix the crime on the perpetrators failed until Tuesday morning. By the merest accident everything connected with the affair was brought to light. Several weeks before Gen. Hiudman's murder, a notorious negro outlaw, who had murdered black and white men ami ravished women, was hanged by a mob, after a desperate atlray in which a deputy sheriff was murdered. This was in September. Early Tuesday morning two negroes confined in the Helena jail, on trivial charges, were conversing in their cell. A few words spoken above the low tones employed, attracted the attention of another negro, an inmate of an adjoining cell. These told of a plot and murder, and thc startle! prisoner became I most attentive listener. The two prisoners seemed deeply interested in the subject, and as the c n versation progressed, em ugh was gleaned to startle the eaves-dropper almost out of his senses. Could it be possible f These two blacks were coolly commenting on the aaiaoarriage of a plot whose partial execution sent the most distinguished citizen of the uninnnity into eternity, and whose conclusion would have laid a town in ashes and added a score to the solitary sawder. The two prisoners and seven other blacks hnd been members of the gang of the lynched outlaw, and all had sworn to wreak a terrible vengeance for his death. In council it was deliberately plotted to burn Helena and murder Gen. Hindman and several other conservative citizens. The night for its execution was the night on which Hindman was murdered. A negro, named Charles Porter, accompanied by one of the narrators and another, went into Hindman's yard. Porter was selected to fire the fatal shot, and fulfilled his mission. His ball shattered the glass and performed the murder. Thc remainder of the plot failed. Those deputized to fire the town could not summon sufficient courage. The listener to these horrid revelations lost little time in communicating them to the jailor. The two prisoners were taken out and questioned. One ol them expressed willingness to make a confession, and was taken before a magistrate. He told the entire story, giving the names of every fiend connected with the plot. Porter, who fired the shot, was found and ai rested, as were two or three others of the nine conspirators. The revelations produced the most intens; excitement. Nothing else was thought of or discussed in Helena yesterday ; and there was talk of lynching the prisoners, but no such action hail been taken at last accounts. P. S. Since the above was written we have learned of the arrest of all the negroes nine in all- -connected with this horrible affair. Mtmphit Amtmnehe. March 19.

Larly Sowing a Meam of Escaping the Drouth. It begins to be understood, now more fully than ever, that early planting is the way to take advantage of a drouth The drouth usually occurs in summer, mostly midsummer, and the early rains will so advance the crop that it will occupv and shade the ground, and form a sufficient growth to reach maturity. If, in addition, the ground is made mellow deeply, but especially on the surface, and if the soil is well drained, there can be little doubt of a fair yield in good soil. This is so with the grains and the early clover early plastered, and with potatoes and root crops. Potatoes cannot well be planted too early. No fear of frost while In the ground, as they are put in deep, or should be, say six inches, the frost not being able to penetrate that depth at that time, and if it does, is not likely to hurt the tuber, as the frost will gradually draw out and thus save it. There is a difference in seasons ; but even a wet or good growin? season is not a drawback oa early planting. Ina dronth (and that is the rule) it certainly is an advantage, and it is sometimes the only me? in8 in severe dry weather in summer to save a crop. Potatoes, oats and barley, you cannot well get them out too early. The past few years have demonstrated this, but particularly the past season. We have noticed with a good deal of interest the early putting out of grain. Oats that crop. The few planted late were a failure The very earliest planted Peachblows, Garnets, Goodrichs, "California Reds," Prince Alberts and all were a success. We never saw any better potatoes than such a medley of them planted on the first bare soil when drv enough, the first of anv planted. We were surprised to see the load after load that was drawn from the field, and all sound, and most of them large. Now here we have an example. It was the early planting that did this. The uroutn couiu mat oe more severe, and it beiran earlv. boon after snrini? sowimr was done, catching some of the laggards. mm m r-t n On the other hand we have noticed specially, that late planting of the early sorts was uniformly a failure. Here is a case so clear that it cannot be misunderstood. As to the grass, that was verv fine the fore part of the season, in consequence of the long, warm rain, which developed the latent germs, and gave us a fine stand ot irrass. It so covered the ground, shaded it, that the growth was not much arrested by the drouth, the grass drawing all the while from the deep fountains of t he great rain of the spring ; so it seemed. It was thc clover, however, that did the bt'st. 1 his grew unimpeded to maturity, and was a thick, heavy crop not coarse, l a. i ; .1. a . v. uui raiuer nne, uensc ana erect, it was CUt quite early, and Continued its sec ud erop uninterruptedly. This the grass did not, but the clover did. In all directions we Could soe this. The tutls rose, and continued to rise till they occupied thc ground for a second crop. This removed, there still were tufts putting forth. Then the rains taking hold, there was seen, M. 17, the densest and richest covering, not only of clover, but of all the grasses. The drouth only held back, or checked for a while the crop, the rain taking up t Ingrowth of the early moisture, continued it ; and then we hava the result. We think we cannot sufficiently draw attention to this early putting out of the crops, corn excepted. That needs a good start ; and later planting is required to give it this. But most ot the grains, tubers and root crops, should be put out as early as the seasou will allow. Much can be done to secure this if we so think and arrange accordingly. Late fall or winter plowing will prepare the ground for this, and if the soil is dry or weil drained, as it should be, there is do difficulty in getting out our crops in time. Prairie Fa. iiur. My Way r Plantin- Potatoes. A whiter in the Western Rural says "Three years ago I tried a new plan of planting potatoes, by which 1 saved the time and work of marking the around and covering the potatoes. 1 first laid out inlands with some care. I then started the breaking plow, with two men, one start ing at the end aud the other at the middle of the furrow, to drop the potatoes, placing them, not in the bottom of the furrow,but in the side, where they can be put n at any deptii and distance desired. The next furrow turned by the plow covers them. I he potatoes are dropped in every third furrow, so that each dropper has only to drop one half row, while the plow turns three. When each has finished, thus finishing one row, they step across to the other side of the land and repeat the process. Two men will readily drop the potatoes as fast as the land is plowed, and by care in laying out the land and starting it, the rows are straighter, and the potatoes more evenly covered than in other ways of planting. " Last spring I tried thc same plan on sod ground, except tk'it here I laid a flat furrow with the sod plow, dropping the potatoes on the furrow thus turned, and then running another plow In the same furrow, c( yering the potatoes with tin furrow turned by this. "In both cases the plan worked very well indeed, and I think it the most labor saving plan of which I know." USEFUL RECIPES, ETC. - MM Tiik WieeenMn Farmer says castor-oil will keep leather soft, pliable, and black, though not glossy, and quite impervious to water. Thk tendon Field says it is well enough, and even advantageous, to wash a horse when heated, provided he be wiped dry and blanketed. It is stated that the Maine Hoard of Ammulture is nrenarinfl a cat a lomie of Hu noxious weeds of the State with notes as to means ol eradicating them. A kkckwt writer states that three hundred and titty bushels of potatoes remove ninety pounds of potash from the soil on which they are grown ; consequently wood ashes is one of thc most valuable manures for this crop. A OOtniSTONDKNT of the Country Gentleman says many farmers in England not only keep their stock of cattle and sheep composed only of animals i their prime, but they use no not vet past draft horses on their firms that are more than seven years old. Tiir I'tica flamfd sivs : Averaging the results of several careful experiments in j feeding corn to hogs, shows that two bush- j els of corn in the car, or one bushel of neuen corn, made nine and ISTen-twsa tieths pounds of pork, while the samt amount ground into meal and mixed with water made eleven and one eighth pounds ' ol nurk - - mr - At a recent Club ol the aaeeting of Um PtfEhtui' A nur nan liiHtituU-, Dr.

Feuchwanger gave an account of experiments made by him for the preservation of wood. He said that wood boiled first in limewater and then coated with silicate of soda or liquid glass, will last a very long time. Thc mixture is fifteen per cent, alkali and ten per cent, pure sand. Dr. Randau., in thc Rural Jem Yorker, thinks a strong decoction of tobacco, especially if applied twice, is a practically certain cure for scab in sheep. He would not dip the sheep at this season, but would pour the decoction on those parts of the body affected. After combing and shearing and when the weather is pleasant thc sheap may be dipped.

The paper is impervious to the wind an 1 cold air from outside, and prevents ttie rapid oacapo of the warm air beneath it. if you suffer from cold feet on a journey, fold a a piece of newspaper over your stocking; this is better than rubbers. If you are cold in bed, newspapers spread under the upper cover, will serve as an additional blanket.

Those chimnevs communicating with Stove fireplaces in which large quant j soft wood are burned, should ' pi ! clean as often as a coat of soot - cu mulated in the flues suffici '.'. t. ick to i be in danger of ignitin. , for large ' scales of burning soot will readily rise above the top of the chimney, fall on a shingle roof, and, in many instances, set the building on fire. ! In order to remove the soot expeditiously, a chimney sweepers Droom, with a brush on both sides of the head, may be i . - tied to the end oi a rope, with a stone or other weight beneath the broom ; then let it down into the top ot the nue, and draw it again to the top of the chimney. The broom will sweep when it is drawn down by the weight, as well as when the person at the top hauls it up. By standing on the windward side of the chimney, a per son can sweep the flue in a few minutes , without suffering inconvenience from the soot. Haarrh and Immme. - m The .Hauagemeul of Colts. PROBABLY American farmers are as su cesffttl as any other fanners In the raising of young horses that is to say, consid ; ing the character of the sire and dams ii a a . i t. tney onng SDOOl SSffOOQ tmai results as l attend horse breeding in any other covin try where breeding is only incidental t larm work. Hut there is one item -l man aeement which is either aiareeardeu or imperfectly understood, and that is, th early niitcati"H of the colt. Mr. Karev has done much to upset the old -fashiomnotion of breaAiia horses, and has shown that, by judicious bending, the necessity lor breaking may be entirely obviated but even Air Rarey s system confined seil 1 chiefly to horses which had arrived at an j age when their services could be niad immediately usetul. The reason why it 1 is necessary to apply any strenuous sys tem of training in bringing colts to their first work is, that they have to be taugh to do that for which their previous Eift has in no manner prepared their minds The first three or four years of a colt's lift are passed at pasture or in the stable, and the most that he learns is to obey the re straints ol the halter, and occasionally though unfortunately too seldom, to al low himself to be cleaned. When the ; day of his usefulness arrives, he is to be taught his traue in a lew uays or a lew weeks; and the bit, the bridle, th girth, the saddle, the hard pressed collar all perfectly new revelations to him, are to ne crammed uoau hi i onng I or oaf in the most remorsclet-s mam er. and he i a lortunate con n me cramming oe uone with a gentle hand. Too often hissimph wonder excites his master's temper, and a contest ensues, from the effect of whicl he never iccovers. If every colt could lx treated as are, for exampl those of Mr Charles Sharpless, of Pennsylvania, the result upon the average temper of our har ness and saddle horses would be remarkable, and at least one-half of the dangers of horsemanship would be obviated. It is Mr. Sharpless' uuiveisal custom, while tin ' oolt is still running w ith its dam. even at I w - me age oi six weeas or two months, io io low tfie handling and caressing to which it has been accustomed almost from the hour of its birth, by a gradual harnessing and playing with straps, ami generally on the third or lotirth day of trial, by hitch ing to a pair of light wheels, witli which the little shaver follows its dam about the field. The colt learns these things at this early day as easily as it would learn any thing else, and the lesson is never forgot ten ; so that when the time for actual hir nessing comes, it creates no surprise, maki s no trouble, and gives rise to no contest. Ameriean AgrieuUuriMU hat the Farmer Must Kuou. The farmer, like the business man, must kMow what h" is doing; he must have some pretty decided ideas of what he is to accomplish in fact he must calculate it beforehand. He must know? his soil that of each lot ; not onlyjthe top, but the sub soil. Be must also know what grain and grasses are adapted to each. He must know when is the best time to work them, whether they need summer fallowing. He must know the condition in which ground must be when plowed, so that it be not too wet or too dry. He must know that some grains require earlier sowing than others, and what those grains are. He must know how to put them in. He must know that it pays to have ma chinery to aid him, as well as muscle. He must know about stocks and ma nures, and the cultivation of trees and small fruits, and many other things ; in a word, he must know what experienced, observing farmers know, to be sure ot success. Then he will not guess will not run such risks. Rural World, Kalldiajr Taper. A man in Des Moines, Iowa, has ere cted a dwelling house for himself, built mostly of paper.

(;reat Milkers for Butter Dairies It is fast coming to be understood that for the manufacture of butter simply, great milkers are not always the best cows. To say nothing of the superior butter-making qualities of Jersey entile, the difference in butter making capacity between different cows of any breed dc pends very slightly on the quantity of milk that they give and almost entirely on its quality. A cow giving ten qoarta ol milk per day will often make more butter than another of the same breed giving sixteen quarts ; and where this is the case, if the business is exclusively, or chiefly the manufacture of butter, the smaller milker is much th s more profitable, for the reason that the skimmed milk is usually of little value, except for the manufacture of pork, and this will not compensate for the greater amount ot food that the large milker consumes. For butter dairies, then, it should be our aim, setting aside all other considerations, to stlect such animals as ample experience has shown will make the largest quantity of butter from a given amount of food. Whether the food be fed to one animal or to two is a matter of little consequence. What we want is to get the most money as the result of its consumption; and this is often attained by feeding it to a large number of smaller milkers. In the case of thoroughbred animals, thc advantage of the larger number of cows is stiil greater, for the reason that they give us more valuable calves. American Ayrictdturixt . A certain ruler was asked by the chief of the people to sit in the receipt of customs. But the Scribes and Pharisees said unto him : " This thing can thou not do, unless thou sell all thou hast." " And when he heard this he was exceeding sorrowful, for he was very rich." And so another received the customs. Nev York World. Mr. Sillsbury, of Concord, N.
