AGRICULTURAL.
winfering Farm Hsrses.

Some farmers treat their horses IN
winter much as they do their fattening
cattle and sheep; they give them album
dant food, and but little exercise, keep
them in a warm and dimly lighted
stable, and if they do but grow fat,
with their cattle and sheep, they deem
it convincing proof that the proper
course has been pursued. Now horses
in good working condition, at least,
should always be seen on the premises
of a good farmer, but his gratitude to-
ward these faithful servants should not
induce him, at any time of the year, to
stall feed them. The butcher wants
thick meat and plenty of tallow in the
cattle and sheep, but the plowman looks
for strong muscle, spirit and endurance
In his team. The food and care of the
different animals should be consistent
with the ultimate purpose they are to
serve. Fat horses that have been win
tered mostly in the stable, without much
exercise, are not fit for hard service at
the opening of the working season in
the spring, and prolific source of dis
ease is the hard work they are COM
PEELED to do when they are not in proper
condition.
The ordinary winter business of the
farmer does not call for much exercise
of his team, and if he have several most
of them may be entirely idle. In such
cases it is an excellent plan to have
ward for their especial benefit, well lit
tered and safe, and let them have access
to it several hours each day. The horses
should be unshod, and if any arc vic
ious they may be turned loose ut differ
ent hours from the others. The horses
will show by their playful actions how
much they enjoy this temporary relief
from the stall. Another very Important
thing, often neglected by farmers, is the
grooming of their teams. In the sum
mer time the horse, by rolling i'll the
pasture, to Il certain extent cleans hlm-
self; besides the rains have some effect.
But in the stable he relies on the care
of his master, and the keen enjoyment
the curry-cOmb and brush evidently
give him, should be ample reward for
the labor. A well lighted stable, thor
oughy ventilated yet free from currents
of air, should also be provided.
In regard to the feed of horses, most
farmers, we think, will agree TO the
proposition that it is always good econ
omy to grind or mash all kinds of grain
before feedingit. 1t is well established
that cut straw, coarse cornstock, or
other coarse fodder, fed with some
grain, is cheaper than to winter the
horses wholly on hay. Without stop
ping to assign reasons, we think they
also come out i'll the spring in better
condition than when fed on hay alone.
good wheaton oat straw, fed with bran,
strengthened with corn meal has been
found excellent. When the weather is
not too cold it is preferable to dampen
the cut hay or straw and sprinkle the
meal on it.
The watering of horses should begin
with the approach of cold autumn
nights. No work horse should now be
left in the pasture except in the day
time. Exposure to a single autumn
storm may cause damage enough TO the
farmers teams to have paid for years OF
timely carc.-Nep Yorker.

"The Grent Issue.o


The legislature of the State of Geor-
gia has already refused, by an almost
unanimous vote, to ratify the proposed
constitutional amendment. The Gov
ernor of Alabama, in his message to the
legislature now in session in that State,
says: ~ am decidedly of opinion that
this amendment should not be ratified"
The Alabama Legislature has not yet
acted upon the question, but there can
be no doubt that the amendment will
be rejected. 1t will certainly meet
with the same fate in each of the ten
States excluded from representation,
and these alone will be sufficient topre-
vent its adoption as part of the Con-
stitutiou of the United States. But, in
addition to these, Kentucky, Maryland
and Delaware will also reject the
amendment, thus giving surplus of
three States above the number neces-
sary for the defeat of the proposition.
Then what have the radicals really
gained by the recent elections' The
ratification of the constitutional amend
ment was declared to be the aim of
their party. 1t was paraded i'll their
Journals as 'The Great Issue" to which
all other political questions were mere
adjuncts. Well, the amendment is de-
feated. "The Great Issue" will inevita-
bly, be decided against the radicals.
The aim and desire of the radical party
is frustrated, the professed purpose for
which they fought during the recent
campaign will never be accomplished.
Then what right have they to "put on
airs" and boast of the victory they have
won.
The negro suffrage organ in this city
did its little utmost to hold mp the rati-
fication of the constitutional amend
ment as "The Great Issue" involved in
the late contest at the polls. By the
disfranchisement Of thousands of the
|
by means of transparent frauds
which made the recent so-called 'elec-
ton in West Virginia farce, the rad
icals have succeeded in designa-
ting as members of the next
Legislature enough men who do
do not represent tho opinions of the
people, to cast the vote of West Virginia
in favor of ratification. But, after all,
what good will that vote dof The
Great Issue will be decided against
the radicals, no matter which way
West Virginia casts her vote. If the
negro suffrage organ was sincere in its
professions that the ratification of the
proposed constitutional amendment was
the main object for which til" r"aie"h
party labored in the recent campaign,
it must adiuit and acknowledge its
defeat.

Short Crops in the Great Miami VAL
ley.

!
The trade of Dayton is suffering be-
cause the usual products of this rich
valley failed this year. Wheat failed
and barley fiIjlcd, thnt the large
amount of money which is usually put
into circulation through those import
ant staples is now lost to us. But these
failures were scarcely less severe than
the short tobacco crop, which, before
the trade was broken up by speculation
and insufficient legislation, usually
brought inte this market something like
a million of dollars. We are Informed
by legitimate buyers that the whole
crop of 1866 that will find it's way to
the market will not exceed 5000 or 10,-
600 cases, against 10000 to 10000 cases
in former years, or reduction of 80 to
80 per cent-say the difference between
$500. 900 and 81 100000. Now, the with
drawal of from S5O0,0O0 to 100000 of
active capital from this market at one
blow is, of necessity, very severe, and
readily accounts for the inquiries of far
mers for money at ten and twelve per
cent per annum, or higher rates from
now to Christmas, as well as complain
ing merchants, who tell us thut cOllcc-
tions are. ."up hill work"
As we have above stated, the amount
of tobacco raised in this region in 1866,
which finds a market here, will not ex-
ceed 10000 cases at the outside, and its
extreme average value is placed by buy
crs at $50 90 per case. If we add to
this the reduction in wheat and barley,
we find additional reasons for complaint.
As to wheat, we may say that none has
been brought to market from this re-
gion, and there is none TO bring, where
as, in former Years the product in this
county alone has been in the neighbOr-
hood of 100000 bushels, equal to that
250,000 bushels had been the average
production of fair years.
Wheat and barley have been onr main
products for the producing of money to
pay for articles consumed at this season
of the year, and as they have failed, so
money is by no means commodity. Of
course there will be some improvement
upon this state of affairs when the to-
baccO, corn and hog crops get into mar
ket, but we have got to wait for these.
On the former, however, We shall be
heavily deficient, as we have shown.
Corn and hogs will help us up in time,
but will not enable us to attain the av-
erage of former years. The usual pro-
duet of corn in this county is in the
neighborhood of a million and half of
bushels, and it is not likely to exceed
that average this year, iu consequence
of the quantities lost or damaged by the
floods About one-half of this will be
consumed at home, and the other half
will come to market in some shape.

which looks towards forcing the people
of any State, whether North or South,
to permit negroes to vote. The oppo-
sition of the national Democratic party
to negro suffrage hath this extent-no
more.
The radicalparty in Congress proposes
to exclude the people of ten States from
all representation in the national gov
ernment, until the people of those States
give the negroes within their limits the
privilege of voting. The men who have
control over the legislative branch of
the general government have even AFRO
gated to themselves the right to regu-
late, by general law, the question of
suffrage in all the States, saying who
may vote and who shall not. 1t is
against this heresy that the Democratic
party and the conservative masses of
the people stand arrayed. The question
is not simply whether any particular
race of men ought to be in
vested with the elective franchise,
but whether the Federal govern
ment has any right to interfere with
the action of any State i'll this regard.
The Democratic party, in accordance
with the letter and spirit of the Consti-
tuition and the practice of the govern
ment in the past, says that the Congress
has no control over this question what
ever; the radical party affirms that the
several States have no rights which the
Congress cannot annul, and that the
Federal government has right to force
negro suffrage upon any State, no
matter how unwilling the citizens OF
that State may be. Upon the one hand
we have government of equal States,
each republican in form, banded together
for certain specified purposes, and re-
tanning in themselves certain specified
powers; upon the other hand we have a
central government which is supreme
in all things, obliterating State lines
and attempting to regulate the diverse
interests and wishes of thirty-six diff,
ferent States by one sweeping and in.
flexible rule. Under the former system
our nation has enjoyed domestic peace
and our people have been free, prosper
ous and happy; under the Latter
we have had civil war and the loss o
popular liberty. The former is tho sys
TEN of government for which the Demo
cratic party contends; the latter is what
the radicals have in part accomplished
and now labor to perfect.

The Wheat Crop in Virginia.

A Charleston (Virginia) paper says:
''The memory of the oldest inhabi-
tants cannot call to mind an autumn
when the wheat crop presented finer
than that now shown by the
crop recently seeded. The wheat every
where seems to have come up well, and
the broad acres of our farmers are smil-
ing in their garb of velvety green. II
is earnestly hoped that benign Provi-
dence will so order events as to secure
a fruition of the present promise, and
bless the labor Of the farmer with a
prolific yield"

"DUTCH AUCrIoSs."-The Internal
Revenue Bureau was recently astouished
by an inquiry as to whether sales at
'Dutch auctions" were taxable. Not
knowing what it meant, the officer sent
dispatch to the person making the in
quiry, to know what "Dutch auctions"
were, and, in reply, the definition in
Websters dictionary was quoted !:
"Duteh auction-the public offer of
property at n price beTond its value,
then gradually lowering the price till
some one accepts it as purchase" 1t is
announced that the Internal Revenue
Commissioner decided that, under the
law, the sales at such auctions were
clearly liable to tax.

Montgomery Blair's Impudent Threat Of

THAT pIayed-out politician and fossilized speci-
men of conservatism, MONTGOMERY BLAIR, who
was ANONYMOUSLY kicked out OF President LIN
CoLN's Cabinet during the war because he had
become a stencil in the nostrils OF the loyal
people of the United States, had the audacity
Yesterday, at a Democratic gathering up IN
Berks county, to threaten the country with
another civil war 'the battle-helds of which
would be in the North, while the South would
remain a unitr if the Union party should carry
the elections this tall. This is the old disunion
Democratic cIy over again, 'Vote as we dictate,
or we will rebel" 1t virtually says to the peo.
pIe of the United States "Yon to be controlled
in your political action not by your judgment
of what is right and Just, and best for the coun
try, but by the arrogant dictation of a set of
political scoundrels, who will inaueUrate civil
warif you do not yield to their demands"
We respectfully inform old Mr.. BLAIR that
this kind of talk is ''ployed out" We have Just
put down one Rebellion gotten up by the leaders
of the Democratic party, and we have the men
and the means and the will to put down
another. The people are in no mood to listen
to these impuoeDt threats from vile demagogues,
who seek to accomplish by intimidation what
they cannot by sound reason. The people of
Pennsylvania are going to vote this fall as they
please-tor Just such members of Congress as
they please, without beng frightened by these
Vaporings of Rebel sympathizers about "a civil
war, the battle-felds of which will be at the
North" IL they happen to choose Republicans,
as they have tor some time been in the habit OF
doing.
There is to us something inerpressibty 0fensiue
in these attempts of desperate and abandoned
politicians to browbeat and bully the people.
"Do as we tell you, or there shalt be war; vote
as we dictate, or civil strife shall be at your
doors.s What language is this to use in free
country and to a free people What insuffera-
BILE arrogance in any set of men to thus put
themselves up above the people as their masters
and directors! How long would free govern
ment be possible, if this appeal from the ballot
box to force were to be sanctioned?
If the Democrats may say "We will rebel unless
our ticket is elected" so may the Republicans;
and then we have anarchy. OF course we have
no idea that these politicians, reckless and
abandoned as we know them to be, would dare to
attempt to carry their threats into execution;
but their mere utlerance is an insult, most gross
and ranking, to every citizen who values the
purity and perpetulty of our republican system
of government. The very corner stone OF our
free institutions is that all polite II questions
must be settled at the ballotbox, and there alone.
He who threatens war if a certain ticket which
he does not like is successful, is villain and
traitor at heart, and deserves the execratlon OF
every good citizen.
