At the late elections, the Democ-
racy have gained the most complete
and Overwhelming victory-both
East and West-ever witnessed in
America. But will the triumphant
party use their victory wisely,
humbly, earnestly, and with a de.
termination to right the country,
subdue the rebellion, and restore
order, peace, and the real union OF
all the States, both North and
South? W. shall see. 1t is one
thing to gain a political victory,
but quite another thing to make u
wise, prudent, and DISTINGUISHED
, use Of it. All true patriots nnG
lovers of America, should, at such
a time as this, strive to put an end
to rebellion misgovernment, and
disunion, by endeavoring to restore
peace, harmony, and prosperity.
There has been fur too much o.
party platforms, party men, ant
party place seekers in America
and the present terrible war is tn,
sal, painful, and heartrending re
suit. The people have been vic
torious at the bal ot-box, will they
give us now a strong, safe, united

SMALLPOX IN SHEEP.

1t appears from the most recent accounts
from Wiltshire that the disease known as
smallpox is spreading in the district. A
flock, kept on farm which is separated from
| the one in which the sheep were first affect
| ed, by several fields and canal has also be.
come diseased. This renders the case a sub.
ject of considerable apprehension to owners
of sheep. The sheep (wedders) were being
fattcned for market, and consequently in
high condition-thus showing that high con.
dition does not prevent the animals becoming
affected with smallpox. There is as vet no
evidence that the disease in the second flock
affected, is the result Of contagon, but it is
highly probable that there has been some
agency at work, which is at present unknown
to the owner of the flock. Since the first an
pearance of the malady in England, in lS47,
there has not existed the same anxiety among
fiockmasters in the south of England. The
disease was exterminated in 1S4S; the cause
OF its temperance after lapse of fourteen
years..is at present unknown, but we believe
it will be ultimately traced to the importa.
ton of sheep, which brought the germs of
the disease with them, and by contact or
otherwise with sheep which were taken into
the county of Wiltshire, communicated the
malady to Mr. Perry's flock The time of
holding the autumnal fairs of these southern
counties is at hand. At Wilton, Weyhill.
Appleshaw, several thousand of sheep are
annually sold, these sold going into other
counties. In all probability, the sheep ex-
posed for sale this year will DO the means of
spreading smallpox over wide area. At
the present time the disease is confined to
the district where It originally Appeared

VALUE or COWS.

The American Farmer lays down this
method for arriving at the cash value of cows
offered in market as mixers r n r
If two cows were put up at public sale
one Of which would give six quarts Of milk
daily for ten months, and the other twelve
on the same food, the former would find
probably, many more purchasers at $40 than
the latter at $50. Let us see whether such
an estimate of value is correct. Suppose the
cost Of feeding to be 10 cts. per day for 1854
the cost Of keeping each cow would be $54, rs
Estimate the milk at four cents quart for
300 days, and we have frem the six quarts
over $72 in value, from the other $l44 from
the former $l7,25 above cost Of feeding, from
the latter $89,25. Now If one Of our boy
readers will cipher out the following sum, he
will find the answer readily:
If a cow giving ST. ,25 net profit be worth
$50, what will one giving $S9,25 be worth.
$l7,25 $50 -: 9,a5-SlO3,47,
making the twelve quart COW worth SIO3 ~.
Or if she be considered worth but $50.
then the ether would be worth but SO, 66, as
appears from the following proportion:
$S9,25 500: $17,25-S9,66.
In other words, while the twelve quart
cow gives only twice the quantity Of milk,
she is worth five times as much money, esti-
mating with reference solely to milk. The
PRESUMPTION, however, is that the cow giving
the smaller quantity would be worth much
more for Eeef at the end Of ten months. and
this is to be considered in the estimate of
money value. II may be, too, that the small
er quantity Of milk will yield larger por-
ton Of butter, and if so, this, too, where
butter is an object, is to be considered. But,
after all, it will be found in nine cases out of
ten, we place too low an estimate on the good
cow as compared with the poorer one. w.

STRAWBERRIES IN OHIO.

As far as we can learn, Ohio beats the
world in raising strawberries. Some time
since We published an extract from the Della.
ware Gazette, stating the fact that Mr.. A.
Thompson, the editor Of that paper, had
grown strawberries in his garden that meas.
ured six inche, in circumference. The ber-
ries were of the Tromphe de Grand variety,
so widely disseminated by Parson Knox, Of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
We now record with the greatest pleasure
the facts in regard to the capabilities OF
G arke county in producing strawberries
Mr.. E. A. Neff Of this city picked five bush
els and seventeen and half quarts of berries
from plat of four hundred and twenty -four
square feet. This is at the rate of over five
hundred and sixty-four bushels to the acre.
The plants were in rows eighteen inches
apart, and nine inches on each side, out
side the plants, were measured in, so that
the measurement should be just. The plants
were of the Wilson's Albany variety, well
known for productiveness all over the United
States, except in the immediate vicinity of
Boston, where Hovey's Seeding is the larg.
est and best, and most prolific berry ever
grown" The secret of raising such berries
as Mr.. Nef produced, is thorough and deep
cultivation Of the soil. He trenched his
ground over two feet deep. He sold his crop
at an average Of thirteen cents per quart,
yielding at the rate of over two thousand
four hundred dollars per acre.-Spriaq,ield
