County Nomination.
THE SENATORIAL CANDIDATE,


By reference to the proceedings in another
coi4mu, il will be seen that LEVI Grant, OF Brs-
tol, has been put in nomination as the Free De
mocrauc candidate for Senator, in this district
VIZ, Grant 10 BY no means = stranger among our
people he having served them one term in the
territorial legislature, and being one of the oldl e.
settlers in the district The unanimity with
which he WAS voted for, even on the first ballot
is sufficient evidence Of tho high estimation in
which he Is held by his immediate friends We
know t.at Mr.. Grant may be relied on in all
questions connected with the free soil issue, and
We believe he is thoroughly identified with tie
free d mo.r'ey on all other issues. Mr.. Grant
may with proIraty claim and we doubt not he

s'ruchone OF Inc meeting which appointed item
as well as a sense Of manifest propriuty, the d.
legation withdrew from this convention which
refused to allow moro than one in three of their

u THE HEART OF THE THING We think it
must be conceded that the Free Democracy
would gain nothing by uniting with the Hunk
ers, provided the Hunkers were not honest in
adopting their principles. Were they honest,
then? that is the question. If they were, why
make such determined and successful efforts not
to meet us nor meet with us. Does any believe
ifthelr hearts had been right-that is If they had
thought with us, had believed as we do-they
would have attached so much importance to
mere unmportant questions of organization and
etiquetF 1t cannot be, for the history of the mat
ter through, shows they thought more of their
"reguiar" organization than they did of the prn-
ciPles they profess to be seeking; and when
matters so unimportant could divert them from
the attainment of the principle, what could be
hoped for the principle by an union with them?

We have no doubt that the making Of hills
around potatoes as practised by many farmers
is injurious in dry land The hill throws the
the water from the potato plant and it runs
down and settles in the hoIIows between the
hills, below the level of the tubers, or the most
of the roots and it soon soaks into the ground.
In some cases of high killing, we have examln-
led the potato hills, after powerful rain, which
fully saturated lands with an even surface, and
the potato hills were dry.
Large crops Of potatoes are raised on burned
and, where no hill can be made, and in plant
ing it is difficult 10 gel the potato under the turf
20 as to plant it we'll. A very little light fine
Poll drawn around the plant, leaving the earth
title concave so as to catch the water and con-
alnct it to the roots, will be beneficial, but care
FULLY guard against making hills that will throw
bf the water'-N Z. Farmer.
