Voting Per Order.

The admins tration is now openly and avo-
wedy using the army as great political ma
chine. Encouraged by its partial success in
New Hampshire and Rhode Island, it is
sending home soldiers by the thousand to
vote at the Connecticut election next Mon
day. Yesterday the cars going east were
crowded with soldiers from the Army of the
Potomac, hurrying back TO their various
homes to vote against Colonel Seymour. All
these soldiers tell the same story; they got
their furloughs upon the express condition
that they would vote the Republican ticket.
The Democrats in the Connecticut regiments
were not allowed furoughs.
1t is very clear that this Objectionable prac-
tice is destined to work infinite mischief if
persisted in. 1t is an outrage upon the SCI
diers to exact any snch pledge, and still
greater outrage upon the people to use the
army for any such purpose. How can the
war prosper in the hands of an admins
tration that thinks so much of a local election
as to take soldiers from the field to vote at
the commencement Of what may be the final
and certainly is the most important campaign
of the war?
We have said that the administration is
avowedly using the army to vote the Repub-
! lican ticket and none other. Here is the
proof:

This same Lieutenant EDGERLY, as was

he voted wrong he was dismissed.

The" Loyal Union Leaguers'' of New York
and Elsewhere.

and Elsewhere
The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce expresses
hope that the Union Leaguers" have tax
en- VOW Of loyalty for good. 1t will not do
to take VOW to be honest for week, q
month, year, or several years ; for that wo'd
imply resolution to be rogue for the bal
ance of the time. In the same way the Un-
ion Leaguers ought to take VOW to be al
ways loyal to the Administration, even if,
two years hence, Copperhead Administra-
ton should succeed to the reign of the Abo
litionsts of the present day. If the past is
an indie x to the future, the loyalty of some of
the leaders of the Leagues at least may be
doubted. Here are some of their loyal
vows of former days:
Speaking for ourselves, We can honestly
say that for the old Union, which was kept in
existence by Southern menaces and Northern
concessions, we have no regrets, and no wish
for It's reconstruction.
Who wants a Union which is nothing but
a sentiment 20 lacker Fourth Of July orations
withal?
If, by chance, in ancient times, the crimi-
nal felt the loathsome corpse which justice
had tied upon his shoulders, slipping otf-he

Providence of God, to be delivered from un-

is no longer to chill by unnatural embraces

or wicked enough to forbid the righteous dl-
vorce ?-Iribune.

This talk of restoring the Union as it was
under the Constitution as it is, is one of the
absurditles which have heard repeated un-
til [ have become about sick it. The I'm
ion can never be restored as it was. There
are many things which render such an event
impossible. This Union never shall, with my

Whenever it shall be clear that the great
body Of the Southern people have become

best to forward their views.-Tribune.
Such are the recorded sentiments of the
men who would now mislead honest Union
Democrats into joining their newly formed
Leagues for counterfeiting patriotism.

The Oath ofAllegiance an Insult to I,ovaI
Citizens.

The New York Journal of Commerce, with
great force, remarks on this subject:
The offering of pledge of loyalty to the
people was an invention designed to convey
the idea that there was so much djsloyatv
IN the North as to require every man to
" show his hand" The suggestion was
false one, and so recognized by the country.
1t was very much like asking men to pledge
themselves TO honesty, or women to form
leagues for public vow of virtue. The pro
posal itself would be insulting.

USES OF COAL OIL.

A correspondent of the Valley Far.
mer, speaking Of kerosene, says:
l find it to be the best liniment in use
for all kinds of cuts, bruises, strains OF
sores. AS to its efficacy in rheumatism
my experience does not reach {; but
should think it good and at least worthy
Of trial.
1t is an excellent remedy for a tick
ling cough at night. Rub it on the big
joint of the neck, before going to bed.
1t is also good to clean out a gun,
loosening the powder very quick.
A correspondent of the Scientific
American says: After using lard oil for
several years as lubricator for our mill
machinery, We have abandoned its use
for coal oil, which we find to anwer full
as well, and at but one-third of the ex-
pense. 1t seems to wear as we'll, and
does not gum up like lard oil. For
large journals and saw slides, l use a
composition Of tallow and coal oil, va
rying the proportions to suit the season.
l know nothing superior to this compo-
sition for wagons and buggies; it is
similar to wagon grease sold in mar
ket, and will wear better than ANYTHING
I have yet found.

PRUNING TREES.

Here is a mooted point, with some
thing to be said on both sides. Certain
theorists declare that a tree should not
be pruned at the time Of transplanting,
because it needs the branches to elabor-
ate material for new roots. The roots
are weakened just in proportion as the
top is diminished. Leave on the tops,
it is said, until the roots are partly re-
stored, then, (say the year after remov-
aD give the top moderate pruning.
That tree closely pruned looks bad,
nobody will deny. On the other hand,
it is replied, every newly dug tree has
many Of its roots cut off or mangled,
and we must diminish the top in order
to maintain the balance of the parts :;
otherwise the superabundant branches
will stump the feeble roots dry. With
care, tree may be transplanted with
out pruning but experience shows that
one suitably shortened in will recover
from the shock of removal, and make a
more vigorous growth in three years,
than one not pruned. If small trees
are taken up with care, and Immediately
set out in the same garden, they may
require little or no shortening in. This
is often done by nurserymen. But trees
taken up in haste, and in the rough,
bungling way often practiced, and then
exposed to sun and wind, one, two, or
more days, can hardly be expected to
live without vigorous pruning. Better
prune at this time, and seldom use the
knife afterwards.

FACTS ABOUT SHEEP.

Sheep we're created at about the same
time with man; and for his express use
to lead him from barbarism and war
to peace and industry.
On the rolling prairies Of the ORIENT
sheep formed the principal wealth Of the
Hebrew patriarchs.
The fleece bearing focks did not en-
igrate from South western Europe and
cross the Rhine until the fall of the
Roman Empire.
The keeping Of sheep is one Of the
primitive and most common Of human
occupations.
The most important breed of sheep as
regards the texture Of the wool is the
Merino-patriachal in origin, and the
stock of all the fine wooded sheep. In
the Pyrenees four shepherds and six
large dogs are sufficient for two thous-
and sheep.
In Spain the average fleece is four to
FIVE pounds.
The number of sheep in the British
Islands from 1880 to 1860 has varied
from thirty to fifty five millions.
The Spanish Merino was brought to
this country in 1902 by David Hum
phreys, minister to the Court of Ma
drid the French Merino by Mr.. Tain
tor, of Hartford, in 1916.
In this country the male A1erinos
yield ten to sixteen pounds Of washed
wool, and the females four to eight.
The best breeds are considered to be
the Vermont Brewer and Atwood Hocks.
The Northern States raise the best
sheep for mutton, the middle and South
crn for wool. Sheep will thrive where
most other animals would starve.
In 1910 there were about 10, 33O, 900
sheep in the United States 81 ,760, 900
in 1850, and 25,OOO,OOO in 1860, or
less than half of the number in Great
Britain. Weraise only one third of the
wool raised in this country, and thus
lose thirty millions Of dollars annually,
which would be saved if our farmers
kept full supply Of sheep.
New York City eats fifteen thousand
sheep a week.-COnserratire.
