Budding.

The present is the proper season for budding
cherries, apples and pears When the stocks
suffer from drought the bark will not part from
the wood, and the operation of budding cannot
be performed successfully. We worked cher
ries two weeks ago, and then the bark peeled
readily, but was scarcely ripe enough. In for
mer numbers of the Farmer, the manner Of
operating was fully described All that is ne
cessarY, however, is a good sharp budding
knife, and little strips of bass mating for tying
Select good ripe buds from healthy tree, and
always work OF ofthrilty stocks. Never use poor,
sickly plants for buds or stocks, as the product
will be diseased and short lived. Peaches need
not be budded until the end Of August, or be-
ginning of September.
Cherries on Mazzard stocks should be work,
ed close to the ground on the Morello, they
may be worked high, especially if they grow in
a region where the trees are apt to be injured
by the cold of winter. The Mahaleb, or per
lumed cherry, is used for dwarfsi they are also
worked low.
Apples, pears and peaches should all be
worked close to the ground. Care should be
taken to loosen the tying as the limbs swels
If removed too soon, the bud will be likely to
die If too late, the bark may be cut through,
and the bud be destroyed from this cause. Care
and attention are very necessary in successful
budding Ohio Farmer, July 23.

Patent knitting Machines.

1t is stated that Mr.. Gofe has invented a
knitting machine which will, with ease, knit a
pair of ladies' hose in ten or twenty minutes,
aud that it not only makes up the goods, but
manufactures the fabric as it proceeds 1t is
also very simple in its construction, and a mere
child eau work it with success. With thirty
revolutions per minute, which is the ordinary
motion when worked by hand it will knit 3,42O
stitches per minute. The machines are manu-
iactured at Seneca Falls New York. where a
number of them are in active operation on a
large contract for the United States Govern
ment, it is said, for the manufacture Of $4,000
pairs of half hose for the army.
Like the sewing machine, the kntter is a
great labor saver, and it is claimei that it will
knit plain or ribbed work, elastic open work, OF
compact and close, as desired and of any size
from the infant to the adult The Cincinnati
Gazette says the inventor, Mr.. GofIe, contem'
plates erecting mandatory in that city, fol
the purpose of supplying the Great West with
his knitting needle annihilator.

The loss the farmers of Ohio sustain in their
sheep focks by dogs is almost incredible. The
acts, however, have been CLEANED agreeably to
Jaw by the Township Assessors, and the returns
made to the Auditor of State, August, 1859
present a total ior the year Of 6O,536 Sheep
killed by Dogs valued at SlO9,66l; and 36,44l
Sheep injured by Dogs, valued at S3IO97.-
Total damageto Sheep Flocks in Ohio by Dogs
in 1858, One HUNDRED FoRTY-sIx THOUSAND
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FoRrY -EIeHT DOLLARS
Average to each County in the State, l,667.
These official statistics can hardly fail to
lead to still more stringent legislation for the
protection OF Sheep in Ohio The butchery Of
a flock of over so ,OOO year, and the injury to
another of 36, 900, by Dogs alone, the aggre-
gate damage being near Sl5O,OOO, may well
bring the heads of multitude Of worthless,
and otherwise expensive CANNES, to the block.
Every dog should be roundlY taxed-such a
poll tax as will induce the destruction of every
animal not really safe on the mutton question:
and intrinsically valuable to the owner. De
struclion OF Sheep is loss to community-de
struction Of Dogs gain.

Lessons Of the Wnr.

The London Illustrated News thus sums up
what the recent war has taught 1t tells the
whole story
That the rulers of mankind have no faith in
the intelligence, justice or honesty of one an
other; that they have no regard for either the
happiness or prosperity Of their subjects; that
they look upon those over whom they are
p aced mere machines, without the faculty of
independent action, as instruments of brute
force, to be used for the accomplishment of
objects which they cannot comprehend, and in
which they have no interest. 1t teaches US
that the despotic monarchs of the world i'm
not they for mankind; that their ambition and
their revenge and abominable selshness, are
the only impulses to be felt, and the only
rules to be obeyed by the millions subjected to
their sway.
1t teaches us that they despiso the intellec-
tual powers of the mass Of humanity, and look
upon their fellow men as of value only as they
assume the nature Of so many dangerous beasts
whose teroclty is intensified by higher kind
of instinct and rendered more destructive by
the appliances of science Hence, though the
despots know that their protocols and bulletins
are all false, deliberate Interpretations OF
facts, and coolly contrived alsehoods, intended
to deceive the crowd, such is their confienc
in the stupidity and folly of mankind, that they
do not hesitate to launch their fraudulent de
lusons before the world; nay, they even eX
pect them to be admired and believed in. As
they regard 10 man, neither do they fear God
They play upon the religious instinct of mar
as they do upon his passions and weaknesses.

then asking the Court for mandamus ordering
the Board to let on that security was not
adopted, simply, we presume. because no re-
sponsible men could afford to take the canals
on the terms specified, even without security.

Capt Schenley, formerly a resident Of Pitts
burgh, and somewhat noted for his wealth and
sharp conduct, was returned to the British
Parliament at She last election, as a Liberal
member. He has been elected from his seat, in
connection with Mr. Leatham on account of
the bribery practiced at their election The
London Times intimates that the ousted mem-
bers were novices, and that their "agents ratb-
or overdone the thing in the way of bribery"
It judges from the few cases investigated "that
the two candidates must have spent at least
f2O0OO in trying which could most corrupt

their districts "last April an elector might by
judicous management obtain for his vote at
least ESQ"

openly proctced in Parliamentary elections

"M F." attached to their names, throw untold
notes and sovercigns into an open drawer in a
committee room, where all sorts of people are

Experiments ON the old Atlantic Cable.

The Buffalo Republic says three pieces Of
the Atlantic cable, which were purchased by
Messrs Tiffany & Co., of New York, have been
laid across the Mississippi at st. Louis, in or
der to put that office in connection with the
Eastern lines. The first cable worked very
well for about thee weeks, the second about
thirteen hours, and the third, which was laid
Saturday evening, gave out on Sunday night.
On Thursday the second cable was underrun
by an experienced electrician, but no flaw was
dlscoycred-nothing perceptbe to account for
the cessation of the working capacity Of the
cable. The last cable was put TO good test,
having been entirely submerged Tor over two
hours before being lBid.
The first cable was examined from st. Louis
to near the Illinois shore, where the cable, hsy.
ing been imbedded in the sand, gave way. Up
to the place of parting there was nothing per
ceptible that could lead to the discovery OF the
existing trouble. The third cable also furnishes
no evidence whereby the cause of difficulty can
be detected. Why don't the ST. Louis expert
menters send for De Slntyl

Vigilance Committees have been formed in
