Victory for the White Man in Tonne, The malignant in the Cabinet at Washington must contemplate the result of

their inierierertce wnn uh icwbhc campaign with lively satisfaction. They committed the Administration to the Btateaeal that the Radicals in that State n presented the only true Republican party, and that the Administration at Washington desired their success, and would employ its influence and authority in their behalf" This has been done. The President may fairly be supposed to have sanctioned such action, because he could have prevented it with a word, and, if it did not meet his approval, it was his duty to interfere. If the men controlling the Cabinet and the President know of what they speak, and tell the truth, the Administration and the Republican party have just met with a crushing defeat in Tennessee. In 18t7, Governor Brownlow was elected over Knurs, m Etheridge by 51,936 majority, and in the Legislature the Republicans had i majority of e hty -three in the House, and twentv-tiv in the Senate. Now the returns of the election on Thursday, thus far received, indicate that "the only Republican party in the State" has been besten by majority ofl about thirty thousand, and will lose control of the Legislature. There have been few more sudden and weeping revolutions in this country than the recent one in Tennessee. Both the national and State governments were in the hand- of the defeated party. It had all the advantage that the control of the Federal and State officers could give it. It had all the machinery for carrying elections by fraud, and was skilled and un-M-rupuious in such work. Its leaders wer- demagogues and bad men, at the head of the half-barharous negroes and the despicable whites who were willing to ally themselves with the negroes to dis-franehix-, and insult, and oppress the best and most intelligent men in the State, and representing three-fourths of its wealth. This was the condition of affairs not one short year ago, and now that party is so thoroughly beaten and demoralized that there is bnt little prospeet that it will attempt to keep up its organisation. It is beaten on the question of investing its opponents with control of the State government when three-fourths of them are denied the privilege ot voting, and have no voice in the decision of that question. It beaten now on that question, what hope can it have ot a lite worth preserving when the ninety thousand white men of Tennessee resume the ascendency to which they arc justly entitled? May it not as well nive up t lie ghost? Its -peed v death will not obliterate its infamies and their einsequcnces, but will prevent their memories from being kept continually in the minds of the people. Scnter. the Governor of the State, and, as ( Vent- have proved, the leader of what wa- the ruling party there, while professing allegiance to it, appeared as the advocate of a policy which has killed it. In the name of Republicanism, he has assailed the measures which gave the party the a-eendency in the State. The Radicals obtained possession of the State government by I proscription of the white men of the State, and by force and fraud. There are not many men who will imagine that Scnter was controlled by purely patriot ie anil just motives in demanding white enfranchisement. He was brought fairly to meet the question whether Radical rule could be continued by erime and de-potitn. It is not necessary to suppose Qttl he considered what ought tobe done. He did consider how he could retain power. He came to the conclusion that the partv which eJetfted him. inasmuch as it was a minority party, made up of the lowest and wor-t -lasses of Men in the State, and ruling only by trickery and villainy, could not long stand under its black record, with nothing but a few mean white and a few thou-ands of blaek men, who were but little better than savages, to support it. He thought that honesty and a decent leaped for the rights of white men were the best policy. So thinking, as a Republican Governor, and the leader of the Republican party in the State, in the name of Republicanism he smote the party, and it ft 11. He employed the machinery which the Radicals had created to carry the elections in the State to kill the Radicals. He drew from their ranks to himself threefourths of their numbers. He made use of the power and spoil which his office gave him to strenirthen himself and his adherents, and crush the party which made him Governor. Professing to act with it, and be obedient to it, he made war on it, and it was his hand that most BOreW wounded it. Whatever may have leen his motives in thi, whether cunning, remorseless policy, or open and generous piety, he "did that which was right."' He killed that which was not tit to live, and which it was his duty to kill. He has found out that a minority party, made up merely of besotted negroes, can not long eontrol the Southern State gOY-rrnuient-by force and crime. The extent Of his offending is that he has repudiated that idea, and made war on it. It is the ul of the reconstruction infamy. There is not a provision in one of the military biDfl which was not framed to meet that idea. They have had a fair trial of it in Tennes-c e, and the Radicals in Mississippi and Texas want to try it. Should they carry the elections, how long would it be before the majority of their party would become disgusted with its corruptions, and the infamy of the proscription of white im n, and follow new Senters to decettCJ and justice fJAtanje Tims, Aufftutl. The yii jinii MtJiem, The Democracy fairly and triumphantly carried the Old Dominion. That some whit. Republicans and negroes were eenaible enough to vote with th'.m, and that the Conservative party even went so far a- to pick a portion of their randidates from the ranks of these voluntary allies, does not alter the distinctive character of the victory, but merely magnifies the extent of it. Neither Joes the fact that tintight u ai won under the laws of Congress, ami in accordance with such a policy as accepted the situation only to mitigate and Miter it, diminish the emphasis of the meceai or detract from its real I) imocratic -ignitieanee.

I gave you as niuch as I allowed myself You have squandered it ; I have increased mine. What will ran sav to that?" The V V youngster was equal to the emergency : "Let us halve again, Governor, and keep it up eyery time r Precisely so with the Virginia disnnionists. They had as fair a field to work in as the Conservatives from whom they separated in arrogant assurance. They wasted their political substance and estranged from them all but the lowest of the low. Now they desire to " halve again and keep it up every time." Let the Virginia Conservatives resist alike the blandishments and the frowns of power. They hold a position which secures the present and rules the future. It cannot be lost to them unless they are lost to themselves. They cun hold the Congress and the President to the fulfilment of pledges made, conditioned on exactions complied with, or can hold them up to disgrace and defeat on every political field where the Radicals may venture with the record of Virginia cheated, written against them. As to Canby and his dwlges, Butler and his letters, Congress and its legislation, the President and the perfidy proposed in his behalf, they are not tobe feared OT sought to be flanked. Virginia mnr felony to herelf. She has complied with even the conditions which Radicalism imposed. Having wisely stooped to conquer, she may now raise her head in triumph. Continued exclusion from the Union, negation of the verdict and the will of her citizens, the continuance of military rule, will work out for her (if the administration dare any of these things) a far more exceeding weight of victory before the tribunal of the people now in judgment upon her persecutors and dcspoilcrs. Virginia holds the citadel of Democratic victory under every process ot Congres sional reconstruction. Her Southern -i-ters have thanked God for her example, and have taken the courage wherewith to repeat it when their time comes. And if adoption of Radicalism be the alternative of continued disunion by aet of Congress, it will be Virginia's Conservative invincibility which will extort such an admission from the administration an admission which will drive them from power in every section where it is plainly proclaimed. Next York World, Auyust ftft. A. Johnson in the Senate. The result of the Tennessee election probably assures the return of Andrew Johnson to the United States Senate. This, as one of the first fruits of a peaceful revolution, which a Radical journal in this city claims as a triumph ofthe "national Republican" party, is significant. Mr. Johnson is, of course, a representa tive member ofthe party which has triumphed in Tennessee; else that party would hardly send him to represent Tennessee in the Federal councils. And as we are safely tokl that the party whieh has triumphed there is the 14 Republican" party, of course Mr. Johnson is Repub bean ! He will take his seat in the Senate with those other well-known "Republican" Senators who, one year ago, voted to convict him, and depose him from the Presi dential office, upon an impeachment for interposing obstacles in the way of the same M Republican" party which" it is averred triumphed in Tennessee. Of course he will take an early opportunity, as a repiv sentative of the " Republican" party, to make a speech defending those 14 Republican" Senators who voted to depose him, and proving that they acted in perfect accord ance with the views of the party which has triumphed in Tennessee, and which proves that it is the "Republican" party by sending that eminent and loyal " Re publican,' A. Johnson, to the Federal Senate ! He will also make frequent speeches and cast frequent votes, in defense of the statesmanship and administrative ability of his Republican friend, Mr. Grant, lie will prove that Grant is not Ma bundle of prejudices;" that he is not any of the bad things that a person of the name of A. Johnson said he was. Doubtless he will employ, in alluding to the person of that name, the same opprobrious terms and villainous epithets that have been so frequently employed by those "Republican" Senators who voted to depose him. and also by all the 44 Republican " politicians and presses in the country the 44 Republican " concern in this city, which claims a victory in Tennessee, included. For in this way will he prove that the result in Tennessee is a 44 Republican " triumph. But in addition to proving that the result in Tennessee js a RepQbUan M triumph, the return of Andrew Johnson to the Federal Senate will be an event mark ing the inauguration of a new movement in the political ideas ofthe country more distinctly than any other that has hap pencil since the Southern surrender. What eyer may be said to the disparagement l Mr. Johnson as a politician, he is unques tionably a 44 representative man" No man living more thoroughly represents the idea of hostility to reckless Radicalism, and ad herence to his convictions of Constitutional law. No man has exhibited a more unconquerable disposition to protect civil rights and the civil law against the assaults of an irresponsible despoii-ni, erected in the service of an unscrupulous and corrupt party organization. 1 is return to the Federal Senate will mark the decline, and fall, in one of its bayonet built strong holds, ofthe party he has fought, and thai has fought him, with a fury almost unparalleled in political history, if that be a triumph tor the Radical "partv, heaven send more nf them. Chicago Tim. A WorTd'on Fire, On the 12th of May, 186, a great conflagration, infinitely larger than that of London or MOSCOW, was announced. To use the expression of a distinguished astronomer, a world was found tobe on fire. A starwhich till then had shone meekly and unobtrusively in the Corona Borealis, suddenly blazed up into a liimi nary of the "second magnitude. In the Course of three days from its discovery in this new character "by Mr. Birniimrliain, at Tunas, it had declined to the third or eyen tourth order of brilliancy. In twelve days, dating from its first" apparition in the Irish heavens, it had sunk to the eight h rank, and it went on waning until the 30th of June, when it ceased to he discernible except through the miiilluin of the tele scope. 1 Ins was a remarkable, though certainly not an unprecedented proceeding on the part of the star; but one singular circumstance in its behavior was that, after the lapse of nearly two months, it began toblaze up sgain, though not with equal ardor, and, after maintaining its glow for a few weeks and passing through M ndry phases of color, it gradually paled its fires and returned to its former in significance, I low many yeirs had elapsed since this awful conflagration actually took place it would be presumptuous to guess ; but it must be remembered that news from the heavens, though carried by the fleetest of messengers, light, reach us long after the event has transpired, and that the same eelestial courier is still dropping the ti ings at each station it reaches in space, I until it sinks exhausted by the length of

its flight. Now, when this object was examined, as it was promptly and eagerly by Professor Miller and Mr. Haggins, they found to their great wonder that it yielded two spectra the one imposed upon tieother, though obviously independent. There was the prismatic ribbon crossed by dark lines, which belongs to the sun and -tars generally, but there was another in which four bright lines figured ; and these, according to the canons of interpretation previously mentioned, indicated that some luminous gas (or gases) was also pouring out its light from the surface of the orb. Two Ofl the lines spelled out hydrogen in the spectral language. What the other two signified did not then appear ; but, inasmuch as those four streaks were brighter than the rest ofthe spectrum, the source from which they came must obviously have been more intensely heated than the underlying ports, or photosphere, from which "the normal stellar light proceeded.

And as the star had suddenly named up. was it not a natural supposition that it had become enwrapped in burning hydrogen, which, in Consequence of some great eon vulsion, had been liberated in prodigious quantities, and then, combining with other elements, had set this hapless world on fire? In such a fierce conflagration the combustible gas would soon be consumed, and the glow would, therefore, begin to decline, subject, as in this tafle, to a second eruption, which occasioned the renewed outburst of light on the 90th of August, By such a catastrophe it is not wholly impossible that our own globe may some time be ravaged, for if a word from the Almighty were to unloose for a few moments the bonds of affinity which unite the elements of water ot the ocean on the land and the moisture in the air a -Miide spark would bring them together wi'h a fury which would kindle t he funeral pyre of the human race, and be fatal to the planet and all the works that arc therein. It cannot but he a startling fad for us that in yonder doomed and distant world we have, probably, seen in our own day a realization of the fearful picture sketched by Peter, 44 when the heavens (or atmosphere) being on tire, shall be (lis -nlved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat." And if we regard it as the center of a system, it is impossible to think without horror of the fate of the numerous globes around it when overwhelmed by tlii- sudden deluge of light and caloric.

Htm Wakd Beeciiek says that if we want to manage men we must do as bee keepers do when they want to manage bees, wash our hands in sugar and water. A wot who heard the quotation, " A little learning is a dangerous thing," wished to stop going to school because he was afraid he should not live long enough to get past the dangerous point. Bcktox, while traveling on a steamboat, seated hlnwtlf at a table, and called tor beefsteak. The waiter furnished him with a small strip of that article. Taking it upon his fork, and turning it over, and examining it, with one of his peculiar looks, he very coolly remarked: 44 Yes, that is it ; bring nie some." John Nkal once said : M I used to drink ; hut one day I took a urlas of brandy and found I liked the taste of it. I said t'o myself. 'John Xeal. when you have grown to like the taste of litjuor, it is time to stop,' and stop I did." Not another drop t' liquor passed his lips, and it i- believed nothing could have induced him to drink after that, even to the sipping of a glass of wine.

An exchange well says that there are many persona who either take no paper at all, or else take one from a distant city, and when they wish to see what is trans piring in their own neighborhood, they beg or steal the local paper from somecitizen more liberal than themselves. Many men of this kind are engaged in business, and frequently grumble because people do not patronize "home industry," when they practice the very thing of which they complain, A street bully in San Francisco, who thought it safe sport to knock John China man down, tried it the of her day on a Celestial marketman without the customary effect.

In the county of Franklin, Kansas, about fifty utiles south of Lawrence, the pioneers of a French colony have purchased a wide tract of iand, and are making a large expenditure of money for the purpose of setting up thereon the now wild prairie, a manufactory of silk velvet. The colony will contain within itself all the forms nf industry necessary to the success ol its enterprise, from the growth ofthe mulberry to the hist finishing tooeh on the beautiful fabric. Of course somo time must, elapse before the plantations of trees will yield leaves enough to feed many worms; but in the meantime, the few colonists who are aleeady on tin- ground will devote themselves to raising and feeding cattle, and to the general improvement and decoration of their estate. While Thad. Stevens was a JTOVBI lawyer, he once had a case before a bad-tempered Judge of an obscure Pcnnsvlvania Court. Under what he considered1 a very erroneous ruling, it was decided against him; whereupon he threw down his books and picked up his hat m a high State Ofl indignation, and was about to h ave the court room, scat -ring imprecations all around him. The Judge straightened himself to his full height, assumed an air of offended majesty, and ashed Thad. it he meant to "express his contempt for this Court," Thad. turned to hiiuverv deferentially made a rcspeetrul bow, and replied, in feigned smasement : " Express my contempt for this Court !

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Farmers, Honor Your Profession. Ox the part of many, farming is regarded as rather an ignoble employment ; one that is to be followed only by those who are not smart enough to obtain a living in some other way. E-cn farmers themselves, a large portion of them, it is to be feared, share in this feeling, or at least have an ill-defined idea that their portion in society is ID inferior one. They have secret thought that it is less noble to till the soil, calling into being those products, which are in themselves the elements of life, and the basis of all wealth and prosperity, than it is to speculate or traffic in them after they are produced. They seem to think that it is less honorable to live by ministering to the real wants and necessities of mankind, than tothe fanciful and oft times fictitious ones. !t is not necesstrv to pile up proofs that the fanner's profession is honorable, for any one who will give it a serious thought must admit that there is not, "on GodV gr en earth, a" more noble, or more honorable mission. The fanners hands mav be rough and stained by toil; his, manners may be awkward and uncouth; he may. as it is sneeringlv said bv the moths and butterflies that are dependent on him for the necessaries ot their life, 44 smell ol the soil ;" but he is none the less noble ami manlv for all that; his care has been not to adorn his own person, not to acquire the polish and irentilitv ot fashionable lite, but to minister to the real necessities of his fellow men ; he has made himself the in strtunenl to work out their happiness and prospentv. lie does not seek to acquire wealth by the tricks and sharp practice of I the tradesman ; he does not resort to tin ! corners, or short cuts ot the speculator nor docs he live on the follies, evils and i crimes of mankind. What he earns is tin 1 product of honest toil ; an i what hf : receives is but the value of the I energy of mind and hotly which he has ex pended for the public good. Men mav have acquired tastes and habits, which render labor in this calling irksome and I unpleasant; but it is not to the discredit : oi i lie profession : it there is anv, it is their own. Education, so called, mav lead some to thmk all manual labor is menial and degrading ; but they see things in a j perverted light ; they measure honor and i dignity by their own false notions The miming community are in a great measure responsible for this estimate of their profession, and it should be their en deayor to remove this prejudice from tin public mind. To do this effeetuallv thev must first assure themselves of the triu nobihtv ol their calling: then thev wi'l have courage to affirm it, and make it felt. They must make their business a progressiv one, and then it will command the respect of all. They must add to manual labor, brain work and skill, and it will be esteemed most honorable. They must make it prosperous and remunerative and then it will be worshipped. Fanners must, by union of action, cut off these vampires, middlemen, boards of trade, and monopolies, who, too honorable to work themselves, think it respectable to live by cheating and fraud. They must educate themselves in all that pertains to their profession, from the first principles of natural law, to the influence of social and political economy, upon the productive energies of the country; then their pro fession will he prosperous and influential. their position in society, not more honorable, but more respected. Western ' rnur. ( are of Working Oxen in Summer. All (aimers who are accustomed to keeping oxen for farm work are aware ot their value, hut a large number of t hem do not treat the poor animal with that care and kindness thai his patience and labor justly entitle him to. A very good day's work may be obtained from a pair of oxen in the warmest weather if they are put to it at the right hours. They should be put to work at four o'clock in the morning and taken off at ten. From that time until four o'clock in the afternoon they should be permitted to rest and feed in a shaded, airy place. If fed on grass, it should be cut and brought to them so that they need not be compelled to graze in the sun. They may then be worked from four until seven or eight o'clock in the vening, which will make nine or ten working hours a day, leaving them eight hours to feed and rest at night. liy dividing their time in this way they may hi- worked every day, and if properly fed and watered, will keep in good eon dit ion. This arrangement of time may not suit the tasteor convenience of the man or boy who has to work with them, as he would like tola in bed two or three hours longer in the morning and he can stand the heat of the sun better than the oxen; hut the arrangement would be as good for him as them. The only diffieuly to be overcome is the hain't of a morning nap; and this ought to be gracefully yielded to tor humanity's lake. Amtfiam Stock Jourtutl. How lo I'o-eak Steers. Some time since 1 saw the tpiestiou asked through the Ftrmn if there was not some better way of breaking steers than yoking them, and whipping and pounding them until they were broken in ambition, constitution, and everything that goes to make a good work ox. Now, I propose to give a method that I have practiced for thirty-live years. In the flii st place, make a yard forty feet square, with a straight fence, and so high that the wildest steer will not think of get ting on t. Now, put two or four steers into the yard ; then take some corn, and a cord, and pet them until they are not afraid of you. Then take your" whip, a stalk five or six feet long, with a lash three or four feet long, and start one of tin- steers. He will go next tothe fence; when he comes to the corner, put out vour whip and cry, ..r .www . m - . - V W nOa ! lie must stop, tor Ins head is against the fem e. Now, pet him a little ; then drop your lash lightly on his left ear. and say, " Haw !" which lie has to do if he goes along. Keep on in this wav, ami in a short time you can "Haw"" him around under the whip. Now, 44 Gee " him around in the same wav, till you can "haw" and 44 gee" at will! Then, step off a few feet, and call one by name, and with a motion of your whip bring him to you. Then, step a little further off, ami continue to do so until you can fetch him to you anywhere in tin- yard. While at work with one, if be gets ex cited, leave him and take another Then take your yoke ; takeout the near bow, and tie a rope fifteen or twenty feet long in the new bow hole; put the yoke on him. and keep hold ofthe rope, so that he shal not hurt himself or the others. If he is afraid of it, let him work with it till be gets oyer if. Then put it on another, and let them draw each other around. Let t hem all have a turn at it. Then, yoke them together; fetch them to you to yoke ; yoke and unyoke, and yoke on eit her side ; drive them in the yard Until you can hack, gee arid haw them at will-- which you can do, if you hvp cool, and aorft mthty, with U'jht MOWS, till he fcassM teAafl you W&U, Then.it you have an old yoke of oxen, bring them into the yard; hitch them together, and drive them around the yard a few times; then open your gate, ami bike them OQt They ni.-iv bound a little at first, but will soon mind you as well out of as in the yard. Try it, farmers, and my word for it, if you want a yoke of gentle, quick, lively cattle (if you are mdM, and follow the directions), you are sure to have them W. C. Ball, in Kansas Farmer.

Weeding.

The destruction of weeds is a matter of such importance that too much attention annot be given to it. It is impossible to zrow a crop of weeds and a crop of yege tables at the same time, and in the same mil Weeds not only absorb the ingredints from the soil which are necessary tor Detaining the growth of cultivated plants. but they also intercept rain, dew and sun hine, and deprive vegetables, etc., ot the benefit which they should derive from these sources. It was to facilitate weeding that vegetables were grown in rows. The lnll system was ftrst commenced in gar dens, and the benefit derived from it being apparent, it was adopted in the field with the most satisfactory results. Weeds are often introduced in gardens in manure. A careful gardener is very cautious about using fresh stable manure, for he knows that it contains seeds of do ver, grass and weeds. Well-rotted barnvard manure in which the seeds of weeds, i'tc, have been killed by the strong heat caused by fermentation, is the safest and best appliance for the garden. On this ac count the remains of old hot beds are vcrv suitable for almost anv garden crop. Late iu the season, weeds spring up among pe rennial vegetables, such as rhubarb, asparagus, etc., and not unfrequently are allowed to remain until they have ripened and disseminated their seeds. This evil should be guarded against. No weed should be permitted to grow in any part of the garden, early or late in the season. USEFUL KECIPES ETC. An English farniei chose his seed wheat with such care, and cultivated it with such skill, that his heads increased in length from four to eight inches; the berries from 40 to 135 in a head, and the number of stalks from a seed from 10 to 52. The Country Gentleman says it has not vet met the tanner who could make enough manure to obviate the necessity of using clover as a fertilizer. It thinks manure spread on clover sod in the fall is the best preparation of ground for corn the touowing spring. It is said that cabbage plants mav bf protected from the cut worm by wrapping the stems in oak leaves one leat to each plant, covering from the roots to the leat stems. This should be done at the time of transplanting, the oak-leaves being first moistened with water. Roll Jei.ly Cake. One cup white sugar and three eggs beaten together, om tea spoon cream of tartar mixed with a cup of flour, a half tea spoon of soda in two table spoons ot sweet milk; mix al these together, stir well and bake in two square tins. When done, spread both cakes with Jelly and roll. A cohkespondent of the Rural World says that an ordinary hot-bed is a capita place for drving fruit. A floor is laid in side, on which the fruit is placed. Then put in the sash, raising both ends to ensure proper ventilation, and to prevent the fruit from baking instead of drying, lb-re the fruit is safe from damage by rain, insects, etc. A FRENCH writer states that butchers' meat may be preserved in hot weather by placing it in large earthen jars, putting clean, heavy stones upon it, and covering it with skim-milk. The milk will become sour, of course, but may afterwards serve as food for pigs, and the meat will be found to have kept its natural primitive treshness, even alter eight or ten days. TllE editor of the (hirtleners Monthly says that coal oil is a most effectual remedy intinal insects. A bddespoonful of coal oil put into a common garden water pot of water, sprinkled over the seed bed, when the little pumping beetle is noticed, will instantly destroy the whole brood. One great fact is favor of coal oil is, that it acts as a manure to vegetation, while dealing out death to insects. Thistles are biennial. Like the turnip and carrot it takes two years for them to mature ; if they are cut down before the seed is ripe this year, and the seed that was dropped off last year and has sprung up, this should be cut down next year, before the seed is ripe enough to mature. The seed that was dropped last year can not be destroyed by cutting off this year, because it will not kill the root ; but after it goes to seed the root will naturally die of itself. Aehs aye. To Destroy the Potato-Rtq. A writer in ÜBartA and Hone says: "A sure and cheap remedy is to apply Paris-green to the vines when the dew is'on them. It will not always kill the old bugs, but will invariably destroy the voung ones while they are yet worms. The old bugs soon die off without our help. A tin box with fine holes in one side, so as to make a sieve, should be used in applying the Parisgreen. Care should be taken not to put on too much, as it may injure the vines Three ounces is sufficient for one acre." Oktex in a tine orchard we rind one or more trees leaning over so far as to destroy the beauty ofthe whole orchard. It is also much more difficult to cultivate around a leaning tree. This may easily be remedied while the trees are young, by partially digging up and replanting the tree. Tin- roots will usually be found smallest on the side from which the tree leans; and therefore these roots should be loosened from the earth, the tree set in a perpendicular position, and carefully fas tened by stakes or guys, and the earth replaced around the roots. It would be well to add some rich compost to promote their growth. If, as is very probable, the top ofthe tree has become one -sided, it should be pruned so as to restore the balance In this way we have righted up pear trees six inches through the stem; but the best wav is to look alter the young trees, and not permit them to depart from the way of upright ness. Journal of Horticulture. Treatment of Horses. 44 A merciful man is merciful to his beast " says the Scriptures, and judged by that rule there are many unmerciful farmers. The horse is the most useful and docile of all servants, and if mercy to the litiit.. . t-. . 1 i . i t i .li.l to .1 to, iiu .t n ln t I treat his horses kindlv. interest should. There are some men too mean to keep their horses hi decent condition, and whose teams always look as if the crows had a mortgage upon them soon to be foreclosed ; j but this class, for the honor of our profession, I am glad to my is small. These ; men reckon all that can besivcd in feeding their horses as so much clear gain, work them constantly DpOB insullicient food, and as a consequence their horses WOM out young. There is another class of men who consider themselves too poor to keep their team sleek Hii 1 smooth, and yon will see them dragging along with horses looking like a ipecunen of gotbic architecture, vcrv angular. Such men ought to know thai if it pays to keep a hotle it pays to keep it well, and that one stout well fed horse is worth more for work or for sale than two bah? starved ones. Bnt it is not alone in stinting feeding thai horses are treated tin mercifully- I hey are often compelled to stand in coltl, damp or ill Ventilated stables, and sometimes when driven home from the fields hoatmd with work, thrust into the stable without unharnessing, and left to stand thus tor half a day because forsooth the f inner 44 mav need them again before night." Animals that appear restless ot stupid are beat and kicked by thoughtless men and boys who seem ignorant of the bet that they are injuring Ixit h themselves and their horses without benefiting either. These things are all wrong, more than 1 hat they are unprofitable. Horses and all other animals will pay for a reasonable amount of care and attention they should

never under any provocation receive other

than kind treatment. A hone should at least be kept in a dry stable from which the manure is occasionally removed, and supplied with clean bedding daily. Light ind ventilation should be furnished, but Iraughts of air at the same time avoided. A. stable that does not fulfil these condi tions is unfit for the habitation of a horse. So farmer should stable his horses with out removing their harness, and if very sweaty their breasts should be washed with cold water. They should have at all seasons enough good wholesome food to keep them lookine: nice and smooth : anything less than this will not lav. Ameri can Stock Journal. A good story is told of an amateur agriculturist, in Ikrkshire County, Ham, who was advised by one of his neighbors to plant sunflowers with his bean in order to obviate the task of poling. He follow ed the advice ; in due course of time beans and sunflowers came up and waxed strong, the beans coiling around the sunflower stalks beautifully: and he congratulated himself upon the fact that he had discovered an effectual method ofl raising beans without being driven to the disagreeable necessity of toting bean-poles from the forest. But alas for human expectations, his beans were rWMJd out of the foil, roots and all, in a few weeks, by the rank! growth of his new-fashioned bean -poles, and there they hung withering between heaven and earth.
