A CHRISTIAN DIsrSIox CANDIDATE
In speaking Of the pulpi, politician.
"Bloody Ben. Baxter" the usfamili,,
reader may think We speak rather harsh.
ly and unbecomingly Of "a person Of his
high calling. But. il they knew bus
one tiths Of his real merits. they would
confess that We were too lsnien, with
him. and would not wonder wby ,hs

this portion of the West. Let Us give
sample of him:

prsssions o. the following. which lsn-
guags is beneath the literature Of the

and particularly Northern Msthodists. he
called them the ''offscourings of He'll :"
and declared that he "would rather bs

doubt not he will have an opportunity to
follow that honorable calling to his hearts
content
This is the man who. when startiny for
a Conference. some few years ago. De.
elared that he would suffer his right arm
to be severed from his body, and his
tongne to clsave to the roof Of bis mouth.
before he would unite with the Southern
Church and returned from that same
Conference blatant Southern Methodist,
with his right arm still safe anil sound

is the same man who PREACHED . sermon
in White Cloud. about year ago. in
which he asserted. with pioua zeal, that

assembled. surrounded Rev. Mr.. Blan'

was at home except bis invalid wife and

Blanchard was about returning. and thia

purpose Of annoying and Tightening hi,

HI WoN'T Do.-If it be true that q
man may eutlive his usefulness. we think
Tom Corwin is fast falling into that
condition-at least. if his late speech in
Congress is any criterion. He had any
amount of coaxing and soft-sosping for
the South, but not one word for the
North. He even went SO far as to up.
hold and justify the outrageous. tyranni.
cal and thievish practice in vogue at the
South, Of throwing out Of the mails. de.
stroying or suppressing books and papers
adjudged to be incendisry. Any man
who upbolds or apologies for such out
RACES, is not ct to represent free and
enlightened people. 1t is such men as
Corwin. and such speeches or his. that
ore encouraging the South in her over
bearing and dominesring policy. and
inducing her to persevere in her treas.
enable acts.
When men reach certain age. they
begin to decline, and relapse into . ssc.
ond childhood. Corwin has evidently
passed that turning period. and has al.
ready reached . point corresponding with
the age at which be drove oxen. The
most useful thing he could now do. for
himself and the public. would be to re-
sign his seat in Congress. take up the
CAD, and resume his old occupation.

Care of Dairy Stock.

The Committee of the Massachusetts, Board
of Agriculture have rendered valuable service
to the cause Of the farmer, by their reports
on various subjects. Below we give portion
of report on Cattle Husbandry:
Farmers err very much when they under
take to keep more cattle than they have
means to sustain in the best condition, es-
pccially in winter. The result is, their cows
come out of the stable in the spring weak and
feeble, and struggle through half the sum-
mer before they are in condition to yield
milk in quantity more than equal to paying
expenses. Dairy oxs should at all times be
in good condition They should receive their
food at regular intervals their milk should
be drawn at stated hours, and by quiet, gen.
tie milknen; and they should be treated at
oil times with the utmost kindness. In short,
every means in the power of the dairy farm
er should be used to insure their tranquility.
Harsh treatment exerts a very injurious ac-
ton on their milk, rendering it less buttery
and more liable to acidity.
Respiration is species Of combustion. At
every breath We inhalc oxygen of the atmos-
phcre, which unites with and consumes the
carbon OF fatty matter of the food. When
cosvs are worried or driven too rapidly, they
breathe more frequently, inhale more oxygen,
more OF the buttery portion of their food is
consumed, leaving less to be converted into
butyraceons milk. Warmth is substitute.
to 4 certain extent, for food Cows, when
warm and comfortable, will consume proper
tionately less food. and it is well known to
all experienced dairymen, that their cows
yield more milk in warm, pleasant pasture,
than on cold, rainy days, or when they run
in cold. bleak pastures. When cold, they
inhale more oxygen; the result, is combus.
ton Of more Of the carbon or oily part Of the
food, and less remains to supply the tactical
vessels with rich milk

Value Of Sheep to the Farmer.

Sheep are profitable to the farmer, not only
from the product of wool and mutton, but
from the tendency which their keeping has
to improve and enrich his land for all agri
cultural purposes. They do this:
1. BY the consumption of food refused by
other animals, in summer; turning waste
vegetation to use, and giving rough and
bushy pastures smoother appearance, and
in time graduating wild plants SO that good
grasses and white clover may take their place
In this respect, sheep are Of especial value te
pastures on soils too steep or stony for tho
pillow. In winter, the coarscr parts of the
hay, refused by horses and cows, are readily
eaten by sheep, while other stock will gencr
ally eat most Of that left by these animals
For these reasons, among others, no gra.
zing farm should be without at least small
flock of shcep-for it has been found that as
many cattle and horses can be kept with as
without them, and without any injury to tho
farm for other purposes. A small flock, We
said-perhaps half dozen to each horse and
cow, would be the proper proportion. A
variety of circumstances would influence this
point; such as the character of the pasturage
and the proportion Of the same fitted and de
sirable for tillagc. s@
2. Sheep enrich land by the manufacture
OF considerable quantities of excellent manure
A farmer of long experience in sheep hus
bandry, thought there was no manure so fer
tilizing as that Of sheep and (of which there
is no doubD that none dropped by the ami
NAL upon the land suffered so little by waste
from exposure. A German agricultural wri
tci. has calculated that the droppings from
one thousand sheep, during single night
would manure an acre sufficiently for any
crop. By using portable fence, and moving
the same from time to time, farmer might
manure distant field with sheep, at less ex
p,nse than that Of carting and spreading
barn manure. -
The value Of sheep to the farmer is much
enhanced by due attention to their wants.
Large fiocks kept together are seldom prof
table, while small assorted focks always pay
well, If fed as they should be- To get GOOD
feeces of wool and large healthy lambs from
poor neglected sheep, is impossible 1t il
also true, that the expense of keeping is oft
en- least with the focks that are always KEEP,
in good condition. The eye and thought Of
the owner are far more necessary than large
and irregular supplies Of fodder. Divisions
If the flock and shelter, with straw and 9
little grain, will bring them through to spring
pastures in far better order than If kept to

Of which is wasted by the stronger animals
while the weak of the flock pick up but q
scanty living and oftimes fail to get that

needs greater attention on the part of the
farming public. Country Gent.
