Commencement Of Finn volume-


We issue to-slay the first number of tho
hfth volume OF the REPusLIcAS. The ed
itor aatters himself that his feeble efforts
during the past four years have not been
entirely barren Of gsed results. and hopes
now that the cause for which he has been
pleading is triumphant. not only in the
county, bur throughout the nation, that he
Will be able to effect much moro in the fu-
ture. Although the victory has been won
90 faras the President is concerned, we
have yet great work to do. We must
preserve our organization and not relax
our zeal until we obtain majority in both
branches Of Congress. in order that our
policy may be fully carried out.
The editor does not consider it necessary
TO make any pledges in regard to his fu-
rturc course, further than to remark that he
will endeavor to improve upon the past.
and make tho REPUBLrcAS, If possible, still
more useful and interesting to its patrons,
and hopes not only to retain the names of
ell who have been taking it. but to add
many new ones to the list.
BY reference to another column it will be
seen that we have taken our eldest son, NJ
b MArrrSoly. into partnership with us.
and committed the Local Department of
the paper to his control. He enters upon
the discharge of his new duties with de-
termination to spare no effort to add to the
zest and interest of that department. How
well he will succed time will determine.
With these brief remarks we again I'M
furl our sails and set out for another twelve
months cruise. The skies are bright
above us, the wind fair. and we set sail
with stronger hopes than ever before of a
pleasant anu successful voyage. 80

Lean Calves mako Mean Cattle.

Calves and yearliugs, At this season o{
the year, are often fed upon the coasssss
fodder, and Ueediessly exposed tothe weaA
ther. They are brought in late from the
pasture, several weeks after they have
ceased to thrive, anl are kept upon poor
fare, all through the Winier. The spoio.
gy for this is, that the far produces .

fore kept uponit. This is destructive ofths
best Interests Of the farmer, for 1t is all
the while undermining The constitution OF
his stock, thus preventing their future
thrifty growth.
1, is highly important to remember thss
the constitution of horse or COW is deter
mined in the frs: three or four years Of
life. II is particularly liable to irjury in
the early stages Of its growth, and if stun
ted there, it never attains full develope-
meut. The farmer lays the foundation Ut
the future character of the animal at this
early age, making the most Of tho good
qualities it inberits from his parents, or
aggravatiug the bad ones. Hei is as really
builder in the feeding Of an animal, as
the man who resrs houso. The young
animal wants good rich food, the bess
which the farm produces, particularly
that which abouDds in the raw nate
rial for ,kiug muscle aal bone, thas
it may perfectly elaborate the osseaas
structure, and elothe it with flesh. II .
farmer wants the best oxen, tho best milA-
ers, the tastes: rondsiers than be made
cut of his stock, be must give them fair
chance in the first and second Winter.
1t does not look reasonable that bog
hay, aud moldy, damaged corn stalks or
hay, will make strong bones, or cover
them well with muscle. Many man has
tried .he experiment, and the result has
been uniformly unsuccessful. The abused
animals always come out 10 the Spring
looking thin and cadaverous, every brist.
ling hair and projecting bons u,tering ito
remonstrance against the misguided owner.
Even bulls that are to perpetua.e the
herd, are frequently kept in this half
starved condition with the other young
cattle, and are put to use before they are
half grown. What can a man expect With
such management Of his stock, bu. miser-
able runts, that cumber rather than adorn
bis farm. Let the colts, calves, aud year.
lings have the best of hay, and the care

Cattle's Tongues-Curry- combs

The tongue Of a COW or OK is sugges-
tive. 1, is armed with compact bed of
spines, very rough to the touch, aud adapi
ted to variety Of uses. With this plia-
bic member, it draws grass between the
teeth for cropping, aud all other articles
Of food when necessary. l; comes inplay
in reaching up into the limbs or trees for
foliage or fruit, or in reaching over walls
and fences after forbidden crops. The
tongue is also used iu disturbing the hair
and skin on all parts Of the body within
reach, and the inaccessible parts Of the
head are curried by mutual accommOda-
ton. No sight is more common in a
herd of cattle, than reciprocal use, Of the
tongue. Here is natures hint for the use
of the card and curry, comb. The tools
are especially called for in Winter, when
cattle are kept in stalls, with their heads
confined, SO that they can lot use their
tongues upon their own skin.
1t is said by old hos,lcrs, that good
currying, brushing, aud rubbing down
once day, is equal to feed of oats for
horse. However this may be, there can
be no doubt that it greatly promotes the
comfort and health of horses and cattle.
1t removes all filth from the skin, which
is apt to accumulate in stables, unless eur
rying is attended to daily. The skin is
constantly throwing Of efete matter,
which collects around the roots of the hair,
aud stops up the pores, unless it is in
some way removed. The tongue does this
partially, but the card and curry-comb Co
it still better. The Office is performed for
the horss quite regularly, because he is
more frequently exhibited in the presence
of his owner, and the cleanliness of the
carriage, and Of the clothes of the family,
depend somewhat upon the condition Of
the skin of the horse. But the OK, the
COW, and the young animals, are sadly ne
elected. 1t is not unfrequently, that
yoke of oxen will come out of the stable
in the Spring, With thick plaster Of filth
upon their hams, the accumulation of 4
whole Winter-a disgrace to humanity.
and to the good husbandry of the owner.
All these animals manifest their pleas
ure at the use of the card and curry.comb
upon their skins, and after little practice,
the young stock will come as regularly for
their cardiug, as for their food. 1t is an
excellent method to tame heifers that are
to bear their first calves in the Spring.
They become accustomed to the handling
Of man, and submit to the first milking
without much resistance. 1t is equally
good for steers that are soon to be brought
under the yoke. They become so gentle
under gentle treatment, that they are ea-
silly broken to the yoke, and make more
tractable team, than by the ordinary pro-
cess. The card is much better persuad.
er, than the OF whip. This is excellent
business for the boys, and they should be
taught TO keep the card moviog.--4n,eri-

Observation-Disclosures and where shall
the West Branch Historical Society be
formed? When was the Valley first set
tied! Has not the Tooth year nearly
rolled aroand7 Ifso, would not its anni-
vsrsary celebration, at different points, be
the proper time to gather up its history?
We are led to these inquiries by perusing
in q late Niltoniun history of the Presby-
terian church IN that place, BY its pastor,
Dr.. Watson, who can not give even the
time when Father Bryson commenced his
services there as preacher, or when or
we're the first church of that order was
formed iu the Valley. 1t seems probable
that the first church eaifce stood about
two miles north of Watsontowp, where n
Mr.. Fi,bian preached. With Historical
Societies, facts Of comparatively SO recent a
date could be secured, and We propose
their formation.

How to use Rough Fodder.

Every farm produces large supply of
coarse material, the straw of the grains,
the stalks and butts of corn, and the hay
from swamps and marshes. These all con-
tain more or less nourishment when well
cured, and are available for food. 1t is a
common practice in many parts Of the
country, to fodder them out from the stack
yard upon the frozen ground, where half
starved cattle are constrained to eat them,
or perish. This is the poorest use they
can be put to. Better use the whole for
bedding and manure, than make them the
means Of tormenting brutes with the paDgs
Of hunger.
All this coarse material should be kept
under cover, and run through hay cutter
before it is fed out. 1t should then be
mixed with Indian meal, or some concen-
trated food. The most of it will then be
eaten, and while the coarser portions give
bulk to the food, the finer parts and the
1cdl Will iuAuiSu HOuTtWHeM-tWO tSSeu-
tial qualities in the fodde. Of the rumina-
ting animals. 1t will be better still, if
the commiugled mass can be steamed or
boiled. This process softens the coarse,
hard stalks and straw, and enables the
animals to digest them more perfectly.
The use of steamed food is increasing
among those who have sufficient capital
to carry on the business Of farming. It
enables one to work up all the rough fod-
der, and to pass it through the s,omachs
Of thriving cattle. 1t gathers up the frag-
ments so that nothing is lost.
If the steamiug apparatus or a large
boiling kettle be not ready, and the meal
is not to be had, it is good plan to mix
sliced roots with the coarse fodder cut up
short. Turnips, bests, carrots, parsneps,
and mapgel wurtzels, are rapidly reduced
to 6nc chips with root cutter, aud are
highly relished BY cattle. They ought to !
be used in connection With hay or straw. |
Animals will thrive much better upon this |
mixture, than upon either used separately.
In any one Of these ways, rough fodder
may be turned to good account, and ali
stabbed animals be kept full fed from the
close Of the grasiag season until Spring.
This careful preservation Of fodder will
greatly increase the manure heap, and add
to the riches Of the farm. Stuff the ami.
mails and they may stuff the scil.-Amr-

Given me by dark spirits
Whom | used 10 fear.
Through long days of anguish,
And sad nights, did Pain
Forge my shield. Endurance,
Bright and free from stain!
Doubt, in misty caverus,
Mid dark horrors sought,
Till my peerless Jewel,
Faith, to me she brought.
Sorrow Chat wearied
Should remain so lons)
Wreathed my starry glory,
The bright crown of song
Strife. that racked my spirit
Without hope or rest,
Left the blooming flower,
Patience, on my breast.
Suffering, that | dreaded,
Ignorant Of her charms,
Laid the fair child, Pity,
Smiling, in my arms.
So | count my treasures,
Stored in days long past
And | thank the givers,
Whom | know at last!

PAUPERIsM IN IREIAND.-Since the year
1S49 pauperism in Ireland has been reduced
immensely. Where there were, in that year
fifteen paupers, there IS now only one. In
the former year there were 62O, ,757; in 1859
there were 44,929. This fact is not owing,
by any means, wholly 10 the fact that the
emigration has carried off the paupers. 1t
is owing TO the fast that room has been
made for those who we're left behind, and
that new means of employment have been
afforded.
