President JohHsons Position.

The following statement of President John
sons position is very clear and snccinct. 1t is
from the Washington Star (Rep):
The extremists of Congress seek an entire
change of the principles of the Government Of
the United States. They aim to substitute lat
cost of doubling our current taxation) the
power OF, the sword and the agency of imported
direce1rs in all matters great and small, for the
action of the people Of that region in the future
conduct of their own local affairs. The extrem-
lists at the South seek restoration of the class
privileges and power existing there prior to the
war, which involved gross and glaring perVer-
sion of the principle Of Repubicanfstn guaran-
teed in the Constitution and laws. The pos
SCISSORS Of these privileges and that power, using
the lever nut into their hands by Northern poll
ti,ians of the school of Messrs. Sumner and
Stevens made the war which has cost so many
lives and so much treasure to all sections OF the
land; and if they are permitted TO re-estaollsn
themselves in the control Of the Southern pop
ular mind and Southern public affairs, there Is
danger that the result will be, sooner or later
reneiition of the war. To us the aims OF ooth
these threatening powers IN the state are equaly
repreheUsbe.
IF Wessrs. Sumner and Stevens impress their
nolicv on the Government, they cannot tall 10
convert it, North, South East and West, into
naked desp6tism Of demagOgues in Congress.
If the former governing class OF the Soutn re-
gain power, all the good that shoulu result Iroin
the sacrifices of both sides in the war will van
ish. - ~.
Presden. Johnsons position between these
contendng forces or interests is unml'taAaole'
He seeks
"lst. To preserve all that the war has leit Of
the distinctive features and principles OF our
Government"
"2d. 70 maintain for the white labor OF the
land the rights and advantages through which
it has made us at the North the most enlight-
ened, prosperous and freest people on the earthi
which rights and imn,unities are most seriously
menaced in the efforts of Messrs. Stevens and
Sumner and their followers, to substitute Con-
gressonal Military Dictatorship throughout the
South, for the government of the Constitution
and the laws, sweeping away at the same time
the right of the Northern States to the direction
of their own local affairs"
I'D. To secure 10 the late slaves freedom
past peradventure."
"4th. To secure to them such intellectual,
moral and industrial improvement as will soon
est make them of greatest value to society at
large, and will soon advance them in possession
of ali the desirable attributes, so that In due
time all the rights and privileges of American
citizenship will fall as naturally upon them as
freedom from actual slavery has already fallen
on.tbem as a necessary consequence of the late
effort to destroy the Government of the United
States

How SALT FISH SHOULD BE FRgsHESED.-Nany
persons who are in the habit of freshening Mack
erel or other salt fish, never dream that there is
a right and a wrong way TO do it. Any person
who has seen the process of evaporation going
on at 4fc-s saltwoCks, knows that the salt falls 10
the bottom. Just so it is in the pan where your
mackerel 0F-#Aitetsh lies soakingi and as it lays
with the,Shin side down. the salt will fall to the
skip, and there remain, when if placed with the
flesh~sih down, the salt falls to the bottom OF
the pan, and the fish comes out fresh as it should
be- In the other case it is nearly as salt as
when put in. If you do not believe in this, test
the matter for yourselves

HALF THAT.-@When young Hoge first
came up to town, his father told him that it
would be polite when being helped at dinner
to say to the host, Half that, if you
please" 1t so happened that the first dlnN
ner to which he was invited, sucking pig
was one of the dishes. The host, pointing
with his knife to the pig, asked: Well,
Mr.. Hoge, will you have this, our favorlte
dish, or haunch of mutton ?" Upon which,
recollecting his first lesson, he replied "Hait
that, if you please" to the CONSERVATION OF
all present"

A GOOD JoKE.-Some wag sent Senator
Sumner highly colored piece of Bologna
sausage fixed up so as to resemble big ne>
gro's finger Sumner at once proceeded to
the agent of the Associated Press, and had
it telegraphed all over the country that he
had received a present of a negro finger
done up in paper. He has not yet spoken
on the subject in the Senate, or introduced
a bill to make it capital offense for a wag
to hoax Senator with piece of Bologna
sausage labelled "nigger finger" There used
TO be a member of Congress from Ohio called
Sausage Sawyer" from the fact that he
lunched in the hall of the House on sausage,
for economys sake. Why couldn't Sumner
put his Bologna to a similar purpose!

For sowing, we believe our Western
or Dent corn, as it is called, gives the
most satisfactory yield. The grounC
upon which it is sown should be rich
any good prairie soil of course answer
ing; if may be sown either broadcast
or in drills; if the latter way, about two
| and one-half bushels of seed per acre
will be required; if the former, it viii
take more, say three bushels per acre.
Clean ground should always be chosen
| if possible.
Slowed corn is not alone good as green
food for cows, but properly cured and
stacked or housed is an excellent sub
stitute for hay, as is well known; in fact,
all kinds of stock are fond of it, and
will thrive well upon it with very little
other feed.
1t is now time to put in this crop.
Choose place for sowing where it can
be conveniently cut and fed, as it is
bulky and heavy to handle and haul.
The double row corn planters with drill
attachment answers admirably to put
in the seed, if the drill system is to be
adopted, or if no planter is used upon
the place, as the amount of ground re-
quired is not large, it is not very labo-
rious task put it in by hand.--Prairie
Farmer, 23d.
POULTRY MANURE.
AS we have often stated, We believe
that our common management of ponl-
try is wasteful and extravagaIt. We
might make great deal more by care
in economizing the manure of the poul-
try house, and this is worth attending
to. Here is what Geyerlin, whose
book was alluded to in the "Home for
Poultry" recently published, SAYS on
this point:
''In France, as well as in our own
country, most eminent chemists have
proven by analysis that poultry manure
is most valuable fertilizer, and yet
for want of a proper system in housing
poultry, it has as yet not been rendered
available TO rural economy. The cele-
brated Vanquelin says that when the
value of manures is consideredin rela-
ton to the amount of azote they con-
tain poultry manure is one of the
most active stimufants; and wheB,~a a
means of comparison, the following
manures are taken, in parts of LOCO it
will be found that
Horse Manure. 40 parts OF azOic
Guano as imported 49, do
Guano as sifted OF stones, &c.....539 do
Poultry Manure. $3.50 do
1t will be seen that it is worth pre-
serving even though it may be small in
amount -PIouqhman

sowED CORN.

We hope the dairy-men of the West
will follow the practice of their eastern
brethren, and SOW corn for feeding the
mich cows as the pastures begin to
fail and water becomes scarce; indeed,
at the approach of winter, some nutri-
ment aside from that which the grasses
afford, is indispensable if full flow of
milk is to be kept up, and the full
profits of the dairy realized. We be-
lieve the experience of half score of
years among the dairy-men of Herki-
mer and Oneida counties, has proven
conclusively that corn furnishes the
cheapest and best food for this purpose;
it grows luxuriantly, and is highly rel
ished by the COWS.
