THE ELECTIONS!
GLORIOUS RESULT,S! ! !

The Loco Focos have of late made
such an outcry about their wonderful
successes in the western elections, that,
to the careless observer, it would seem
the Wings were entirely prostrated.-
TO show what reliance can be placed
upon their loud and vain boastings, we
subjon from several sources, the latest
particulars in reference to those cleo
tions.

ILLINOIS ELECTION.--Thc Buffalo

this state. Accounts from Chicago had
Just been received at Buffalo, by the

to the advertiser, rendered the election

the administration candidate, certain !;

Douglas. From Vandalia accounts have

army, giving Edwards a majority of7OO,

\ ILLINOIS ELECTION. Cheering InteHi-
gence.-We have received the lllinoian, of
the 18th inst, published at Jacksonville, from
which we learn further cheering news con-
cerninp the elections in Illinois. The con.
test for governor has been very close, and il
is difficult TO determine whether Edwards, the
Wing candidate, or Ca,lin, the ndministra-
ton candidate, is elected. Strong hopes,
however, nre entertained That Edwards has
been successful
Little or no doubt remains Of the election
Of Stuart, the Wing candidate for Congress,
in opposition to Douglass, ivan Buren.)-
| Only two or three counties are to be heard
from. and they, it is believed, will give Stuart
majorities. Ills present majority is about
300. The lllnoinn says: ave feel satisfied
now that Stuart is elected"
Mr. Casey, q Conservative, is reelected
without opposition. Illinois will, therefore,
have but one member Of Congress in favor Of
the administration.
i In reference to the election Of members to
the legislature, the llinoian says:-" Below
we give the returns Of the members elect To
the legislature, so far as heard from. There
are 40 members Of the Senate, one-lialf of
which are elected at ench general election.
4 There are 81 members in the lower House.

mask taken in plaster, and representing the

a report descriptive of the various protuber'

the craniologIcal Developments aud the well
known character OF the deceased. We are
told that no sooner was the mould placed on

astonishment nt the enormous size Of the or.

The intellectual organs were quite full, but
not as large as the friends. of f'ralleyrand had
believed him to possess. Those organs
which confer cunning, deceit, prudence, the

Hints on Feeding Horses.

In feeding horses with grain, the proper
quaint y OF the respective kinds is regulated
by weight, for in tins proportion are tie
different kinls considered nutritious. As
for example, we eive to horseper day hal
bushel of oa's, the weight of which is
/ l7lbs., and it we wish to change TO other
grain, as harley. rye, or Indian corn, the
same weight will suffice; and as these grains
are much heavier than oats. proportionate
less quantity, by measure will suffice
Another rule, deemed important, is this
tha, whenever heavier grain is SUITS ,uted
for oats, n quantity of fine cut Straw should
be added, rs substitute for The husk Of the
oats. This induces more perfect diges.
ton ofthe grain.
The practice Of givingdry grain 10 hor.
ses when pasturcd, or fed with gre cut
grass. is condemncd: for the grain thus Civ.
en-. is never perfectly digested, on account
of thecffe ofthc watcry Juices o',he grass
upon digestion. When dry grain and green
feed arc given, as m lch interval should be
allowed between the dry and green food as
circumstances will permit.
Won Thaer considers s lbs. of meadow
hay equal in nourishment to 3 l3s. Of Ga S;
that hay improves by age, If we'll kept, and
is most nutritious for horses when year
old: that the second growth is not equally
nourisning; and that hay should OF be un-
necessarily exposed in making, the fresh
ness ofns scent being peculiarly gratifying
to horses and cattle.
In holland and Flanders, farm~horscs are
Uniformly soiled during summer. a horse
is supposed to consume from s4 to 100 lbs.
of green food per day with occasional grain.
An acre of clover, at two cuttings, will
give twelve tons of green food; and hence
half an acre of clover, fed green, viii suffice
for 4 horse four months.
Ii is also general practice in Flanders,
and is extensively adopted in Great Britain,
TO convert the entire food into munger meat,
tha, is, TO mix the cut straw and hay, the
grain and the roots, or whatever is to con-

own, nv firm conviction, that ther, i no
vegetable, which we can possibly cultivate,
possessing so many advantages as q 'o'u
for our cattle.
In the first place. its yield is greater than
o,mos, any vegetable wc can possibly cui~

Irish Potatoes, after the plan LAID down
in nv former communication. l am no"
diopine them for my COWS, and do assure
YOU, Mr.. Editor. that, it causes in them
double yield of butter and milk. My plan
offeeding my cows is, to boil the potatoes
with other vegetable mat.er.-tor instance
the potato tops, turnip tops, &c. This mash
| give GU, to my COWS. which yield fifty per
cent more milk by than if they were turn.
ed out upon the best pasture only.
In the second place, this crop Is easily
attended. All ihe working thai the pota.
toes need, give them, before my hands e.
oul t. their regular morning work. But 'or
the manner Of doing this, | must refer !o'
to my former communication.
In the third place, potatoes are the ear
lest root crop, that we can yell hive. 10
our climate, the land may be prepared, and
planted with the Irish potato, early in Feb.
ruary. And if the land be we'll manured,
or covered with litter, the young plants will
sustain not the least injury from frost OF
cold. am, however, no great advocate
for planting TOO early; since several years
experience has convinced me. that potatoes
put into the ground early il April, will ma
ture as soon as those put in at an earllcl
perio1. -
In the fourth place, corn may be planted
among potatoes, with the creates: advan
age and thus crop ofcorn and potatoes
may be raised on the same land, wi'hou
one crop in the least injuring the other. III
deed, the potatoes shading the young corn
a. an early period, will prevent its grow'l
being retarded by cold weather; and the
same working which will keep the potatoes
clear of grass, will also benefit the corn
As ;he potatoes are dug in, the loose earl'
which is pulled down from their bed, may
, be hauled, with great advantage. around the
corn. Last year. my corn planted in thl:
way, was decidedly the bes: | had in my
whole field.
In the fifth and last place, you may re-
plant the small potatoes after you have dug
the larger ones and these will yield an ex.
cellen, crop for winter use. Whenever
plant cora among my potatoes, | make my
potato rows five feet apart, and plant the
corn in the alley Of each row, al the distance
of four feet from each o,hcr. In digging
in my potatoes, in the spring, | place the
small ones in the alley, between each hill o
corn, and throw the earth from The old bed
upon them. into the alley; so as 10 form
at the same time, bed for the cora ant
young potatoes. The potatoes thus raised
arc excellent for winter use /; and as vegc
table for the table, are equal 10 quality &c

nua;caiion is too late, to be Of much bene.

observed, that more injury is ofen done TO
horses by allowing them an unlimited guam

lowance; for they will not only pass whole
nights in eating, when rest would do them
more service, but, by this extraordinary dis

Barley is extensively used in the south o:
Europe, in Asia Minor and in Persia, for

that oats, being indigenous to colder clI'

In the first of these countries it is uniformly
fed with straw. Six bushels have beer
