From the Bellows Falls Argus.
They keep out of sight that $4,000 appro
pratiOn and the fact that but for the protest of
the Democracy, and fear Of the people, it would
undoubtedly have been spent. They say nothing
about the fact that the FREEMAN, Gov. Fletcher's
especial organ, ntimates that it will yet be
| spent"
1t has been sore anliction to the Argus
and its co-workers that there has been no
draft upon the State Treasury for solitary
dollar of the 100000, which the last
| General Assembly voted to place at the
disposal of the Governor, for the purpose
Of furnishing food and clothing to such
Of the inhabitants Of Kansas as may be
in suffering condition for the want there
Of That ACT was one which the people
of the State most heartily approved and
have reason to be proud Of. What suffer
ing and distress the coming winter might
bring upon the settlers of that oppressed
territory could not be foretold Unless
private aid should be furnished there could
be no doubt that nakedness and rvation
would be the bitter lot of great numbers.
The act wasa generous one in its intent
and in its provisions, while no doubt was
left by its terms as to what the money must
be used for, if used at all But help for
the needy was given from private sources
| in the northern states, Vermont among the
rest, and not cent Of the public appropri-
alton has been expended. What a howl of
rage would have gone up from the demo-
cratic papers if there had been What a
! grief it is to the democratic leaders that
there have not been few thousands of the
| public money spent that way! The only
resource LETT to them is to vent their rage
in paragraphs like the one from the Argus,
| intended to influence weak souls, but eff
fcctive only to show the extreme weakness
Of those who use them.
Talk about 1.-THE Freeman being Gov.
Flcicher's especial organ Fudge What
an ass the A! gus makes of itself! Gov.
Fletcher has no organ but the good sense
and honesty of the people at large, and that
is just what troubles the Argus. Other
Administration papers have buSied them
selves with making scurrilous attacks on
| Gov Fletcher; but we think the Argus
rctails its dirty abuse most zealousy of all.

cost to them of all their profits aud of reputation
and of interminable anG vexatous lawsuits. The
writer saws there are but four railway companies

true; but il it is intended to convey the idea 'ha'

Sowing yellow Locust Seed.

AS timber for posts is becoming scarce,
it may be well to SOW a few quarts of To-
Gust seed, to raise plants for the forma-
ton of grove. The ground to be Sc
lected should be deep, well exposed loan;
it should be MANFRED, plowed deep and
narrowed, and the seed sown thinly in
drills two inches deep, and four feet apart.
Before being sowed, the seed should be
soaked in hot water for twenty-four hours
all the seed which float to be cast aside.
The plants when they come up. should be
kept clean. At one and two years old the
young trees will be ready to be trans
planted. They should then be set out in
deep, warm soil, which has been well
MANFRED, plowed and narrowed, in rows
twelve feet apart, four feet asunder in the
row, which will give to each acre 366
trees. In twelve years they win be large
enough for posts; and we all know that
they make durable ones. A grove once
set, will, after being cut down. renew it
self, and furnish new supply of post
timber every twelve or fifteen years. We
have stated that these trees might be cut
over every twelve or fifteen years for the
purposes of fencing; and we will add
that such of those as remained from TWEEN
ty to twenty five years, if fair, vigorously
grown healthy trees, would be worth
! three dollars apiece for ship building
would at all times command ready sale
to ship-wrights, as also with railroad
companies, fo- use on the tracks. What
an acre of land would bring for such pur-
poses, if sold, can easily be calculated.
As matter of convenience and profit, it
is with the owners of land to determine
whether their interest would be subserved
by setting out grove of few acres in
extent the number, of course, to be de-
termined by the size of their respective
! farms.

Sailing HAY.-We frequently find no
tices of sailing hay, and also of the inju-
rious effects, in many instances resulting
from it. We give from the farm report
of L. d. Cliff, of Putnam county, N. Y,
in one volume of Transactions of the n.
Y. State Society for 1855, preparation
that has proved highly beneficial, and
obviates the difficulties attending the use
Of salt A.:
Preparation for Hay IN the Aow.-l
have used, for several years, the follow.
ing preparation for my hay: Two parts
of Stacked or quick lime to one of salt.
The salt to be mixed with the lime, until
entirely dissolved, and the mass becomes
a powder. Upon load or ton of hay,
at intervals in moving or stacking, use
from ten to fifteen quarts, busted evenly
over the hay. formerly used salt alone,
but the men would often use too much,
so that it was injurious to the stock. The
above mixture obviates this-it corrects
the acidity and Sourness of hay, and ]
do not remember q sick animal since ]
commenced its use. Horses troubled
with the heaves, are greatly relieved by
feeding upon hay thus prepared, and ]
satisfied it is preventive of the hsaves
My horses are kept in the stable the yea

moro work and wear longer, than when
suffered to run during the summer.
