printing to the lowest bidder; the party with

tive majority. But it is not probable that
policy SO just will find many supporters with
the dominant party in this or any other State,
and hence We may count confidently on the
the election of . Republican Publisher at Des

this, because it is more than probable that the
Democrats, if in power, would select man for
his politics rather than for his probity or capac.

Among those who have signifcd wish to

none more eminently deserving of it than the

The Usage orange Hedge.

From mere considerations of economy, and
without reference to the great improvement
in appearances, it is remarkable that Mary
land farmers have not given more attention
to the cultivation Of hedges. The Usage Orange
particularly, has all the qualities of the very
best hedge plants, addition to being re-
markably beautiful in appearance. In some
States fences are fast disappearing, and the
trim hedges, which conducc so much to the
beauty Of English farms, are taking their
places. The first outlay is very trihing in
comparison with the cost of the cheapest
fences, and after the first three or four sea-
sons these hardy plants require very little
attention or labor. The Usage Orange hedge
is SO far superior to the ordinary post and
rail- that no animal will even attempt to
force passage through it. A strong, sharp
thorn grows under each leaf, and an Illinois
correspondent of one OIL the Agricultural jour
nails says: 1T is not possible for a bid to
get through my hedges alive" This is per-
haps slightly exaggerated, but any one who
has seen an Usage Orange hedge of four or
five years growth will not be surprised at the
ggeration.-B Baltimore Amcrica

Kindness to Animals.

| The first lesson parent should teach his
child is kindness to the animals which God
has gwen to man to assist him in his labois,
OF administer TO his comforts. The man who
loves his fonr-footed servant will never act
tyrannlcally toward his two-footcd ono. lie
who is merciful to those under him can never
he trcacherouS to any one. We care not what
| the genus OF the quadruped is if uniformly
treated with kindness BY his master, it will
| amply reward him in return by its love and
its labor well cared for horse, for exam
pie, learns to look upon his mpster as his
friend with an instinctivenesS amounting
! almost to reason, turns to him as his protec-
tor when difficulties beset him. Such an ami
nal requires no spur to urge him to do his
duty. word spoken in kindness will have
more effect upon him than would thousand
lashings
We remember case in point, which admi-
rably illustrates the doctrine of kindness tow
| ard animals
farmer of an irascible temper came into
possession of very fine animal, of most do
ellie disposition. When the farmer purchased
him he was highly pleased with his bargain
For some weeks the a;.inal worked admira-
| bly, but as the owner became accustomed to
| the brute, his irritable temper would display
! itself. and occasionally in his anger he would
punish him severely for the most trihng
fault. In few months the animal became
| irritable also. baulky, and at times quite
unruly. The farmer, who could not see how
much injury he was doing himself continued
his brutality. The result was as might have
been expected-a really valuable brute was
spoiled. lie became nervous and dangerous
| The farmer was in despair and would have
been glad could he have found a purchaser
toI him at third or fourth what he gave for
him. neighbor Of the farmer, who saw how
he had maltreated the beast, offered to accept
him at the owners terms, which were not
hard. Now. mark the end. The new pro-
pilctor was man of kind but firm DISPOSE

animal as if he could be reached BY reason--
| The horse, experiencing difference be tween
| his present and former treatments. soon rccov.
cred his temper. lie ceased to fear and trem.
Die at every one who approached him. and in
less time than it took TO spoil him, he was
| brought back to his original docile dispo.
siton. His former owner learned for the iii st
time :hat more labor can be got out of an ami
nal by kindness than by brutality; but
whether it mendcd his irritable disposition or
not, we are unable to say. The moral. how
ever, to be derived from what we have writ
ten is be kind to animals. Even when con-
si,lered in pecunary point Of view, it is
better to treat them as If they were created
to be used and not abused.

The Hog.

Tho hog is now uniyeI sally recognized as
one of the most valuable animals on our farms.
Managed judiciously. he will be found to
detray the cost of fattening, and not Unfre-
quently leave a handsome balance in the
hands of his keeper. This assertion may
perhaps appear incredible to some who shall
persist in adhe,ing to old and should-be obso-
ete notions of economy, especially those who
conline their hogs in close, prson-like, cotes,
where thy are as much restricted as was the
unfortunate Constance Beverly, shut up in
the walls of castle. and not only deprived
of fresh air, but compelled to stand and lie on
a hard plank or gravel nooI, with barely
sufficient litter to serve as an apology for a
NEST" during cold weather. With those
who manage in this manner, it is not at all
surprising that ''pork max ing" is anything
but lucrative business. The method which
reason and experience teach, and which every
farmer should pursue, may be detailed in a
few words. 1t is this:
In the immediate noighborhood of your hog
pen have yard strongly and permanently
enclosed, and of sufficient extent to accomlno-
date comfortably the number Of swine you
intend to keep. Into this enclosure convey
as much muck, chip manure, rotten wood,
mould from the roadside, leaves from the for
ests, straw and sods, as vii! supply over the
entire surface solid and compact stratum OF
one foot in depth. As the mass of material
increases, sprinkle over the whole few
handfulls Of corn. peas or buckwhcat, and
mix the same with the manure BY digging it
In, leaving but ANAL portion of it on the
surface to induce the swine to root and turn
the mass for more; and when the first deposit
has been well manipulated, and the several
ingredients thoroughly mixed add another
stratum of the same depth as the first. In
this way you may proceed until your yard is
full; and you will lind that you have secured
quantity of manure equal in value to the
best stable dung, and which, when applied to
your soil and crops, will produce prompt and
permanent results. The quantity of manure
which may be manufactured in this way is
almost incredibly great. 1t will also be less
expensive than any article Of equal value that
can be had in any other way. On corn and
wheat lands, as well as on root crops it pos.
sesses great value Germantomn Telegraph.
