SENATOR POLAND.-In the L. 5. Sen
ate one day last week, Senator Poland OF
Vermont offered a joint resolution to amend
the Constitution so that no person who has
been engaged or who shall Willingly en-
gage in rebellion shall exercise the elective
franchise or hold any Office under the a''-
thority of the United States. 1t was re-
terred to the Committee on Reconstruction.
We believe some such amendment should
lie made. If the loyal people OF this
country allow any reconstruction by which
rebels are again placed in offices OF trust,
they do but invite a repetition Of the trea-
son which has for four years delused tins
land with the blood of its best men,

STATE PoLIrlCs.-A correspondent of
the Vt. Record, writing from Burlington,
and signing himself Jack" (but who evil
IDENTIFY omits the last three letters of his
name) shows the appropriateness of his ii
tie by such bo>h as this:
Estate politics are in a tumble 1t is
intimated 10y the friends Of Judge Poland
that should Mr. Baxter continue to use his
influence in favor of Mr.. Morrill, for sena-
tor. some other man will be chosen for
Congress in place of Mr.. Baxter This is
rather empty cannonading. In the first
place Mr. Baxter is a stronger man i'll the
Sd district, than Judge. Poland. In the
next place it is not certain whether MIR.
Baxter will consent to be 4 candidate for
Congress again or not.

CoNsIsTENr.-The democratic papers
do not print the testimony taken by the
Reconstruction Committee relative to the
present condition of the South. The rea-
son is evident: it would contradict every
thing they have said relative to the matter
for the past five months. The testimony
of Generals Thomas. ericsson, Saxton and
Others, but corroborates that of intelligent
private citizens whose letters have been
printed in this and other papers the pub
fishers of which desire,to give their read,
ers true idea of the condition of the
South. Those papers that wish to hood,
wink their readers suppress this testimony

The Prospect of Farmers for the Future

What the price Of farm produce will be,
during 1866 and 1867 is what no man is
able to answer but we can. by looking
lto tue financial condition OF our country,
determine with a good degree of cXactnesS
the rates al which such produce will rule,
provided that no great, and radical change
is made by Government in the monetary
affairs of the country
At the West, farmers are Suffering un-
der depression of prices for their grain,
that is intol,rable, owing to the high rates
demanded for transportation to an Eastern
market hut III our remarks on future pri-
COS, we refer to Eastern markets and we
think we are safe in predicting, that about
present prices will rule for several years
We do not think it is in the power Of the
General Government to redeem, in any
manner, much of the paper money III circu-
laton : and as long as we have about one
thousand millions Of that money III circula-
ton farm produce will be high i'll the East
We are also inclined to think, that il will
be many years before we come back to the
uld rates before the war Still, something
may be done, that will create panic in the
money market, and prices may go down for
a while but they will not stay down, till
we resume specie payments, and that day
is not i'll our opinion, very near.
Farming lands are rising in price. in all
the Eastern States, slowly but surely The
rise in this State over old rates is fully so
per cent. and we advise our readers who
own farms not to sell them, unless they Oh
tain about the above increased prices.
These are times when farmers should get
out of debt, and invest all their surplus
cash in good productive real estate. Have
nothing to do with stocks Of any kind nor
would we consider an investment in Gov
rrnmcnt bonds as safe as good farming
lands The lands cannot be taken from
you. but we do not know, for certainty,
thar other securities are safe, under all con,
lingenccs that may arise. The bonds Of
The wcalthest government in the world are
liable to become deprecated, in certain
cases. For instance, a panic is produced,
and every body rushes to sell his sccurl-
ties, and the price falls, fall, falls, till they
arc at Il runouS discount
No man knows today what he is worth
because he is not sure that what he owns
will ever be sold, to realize its valuation in
what is equivalent to specie Rprai An,-

Ventilate the Cattle Stables.

Basement stables are too often deficient
in ventilation. When the weather is cold
the farmer is induced to shut tight all the
doors and windows, with the idea that
thereby he makes the cattle most comfort
able If the stable is tight and filled with
stock, he makes great mistake in thus
shutting off the supply of fresh air. Open
the doors of such tight, crowded stables III
the morning, and you can scarcely bear to
rushes out into the frosty air. If the wealth
er is extremely cold there is half an inch
of frozen vapor on the inside of the win
dow panes The smell of the often-hreath-
ed air is intolerable.
But it is warm in the stable. The cat
tie have not suffered from cold True, but
they will suffer Tnrn them out into the
yard, and see how they will shiver and
shrink in the cold air. 1t is like taking a
man from vapor bath, with the pores of
his skin open with the heat and his gar
ments wet with prespiration, and putting
him into the cold The cattle are dull in
action, their eyes are heavy, and their hair
staring They have rested badly. They
will never do we'll until you ventilate their
stable Give them plenty of fresh air 1t
costs nothing Then, with good bed and
fresh feed, you will not come to the conclu-
sion that basement stables are unhealthy
or that your cattle do Just as well, perhaps
better, when wiutered out of DOORS Rural

Foddering Animals Around Stacks.

Elevated portions of meadows and pas
lures, knols especially, are usually less
productive than the low ground, and fire.
quently the soil there is very thin and in
poor state of fertility While a growing
forest occupied the ground large proper
ton of the leaves of the trees have been
blown by the wind OF carried down on the
lower ground by streams of water, So that
many of the knobs of our cultivated fields
have very thin and sometimes barren
soil For the purpose of renovating such
parts Of cultivated fields, stacks of hay or
other fodder are built there and fed ont to
domestic animals, with view Of improv-
ing the fertility of the soil 10y the liquid as
well as solid portions Of the manure which
the stock would drop, thus avoiding the
labor and expense Of hauling manure from
the yard and spreading il on such places.
The theory on this subject is correct,
while the practice is decidedly erroneous,
except under certain circu distances. When
the ground is covered with snow and ice
around stack on such an elevated part
Of :, meadow, large proportion of the
liquid manure which teaches from the solid
droppings Of the animals, as we'll as most

TO RELIEVE CATTLE WHEN CHoKED-Take
half pint of soft soap, one quart of sweet
milk, mix them together, and then let the
strongest man, who is at hand, place his
hip firmly against the creatures shoulder :;
then put both hands over the head, between
the horns. Now take hold of both sides of
the upper lip, with good grip, and raise
the nose to any desired point; then with
bottle or horn pour half the mixture down
the animals throat, little at time, then
drive the animal around, and if not relieved

TO REVIVE FADED BLACK CLoTHs.-Boil
two or three ounces of logwood in vinegar
and when the color is extracted, drop in a

same natxrc as rust Of iron, as large as

pantaloons well sponged with soap and hot
water, laying them on a table and brush the
nap down with a sponge Then take the
dye npon the table and sponge them all
over with the dye, taking care to keep them
smooth and to brush downward When
completely wet with dye, dissolve tea
spoonful of saleratus in warm water, and
sponge all over with this, and it sets the

BEDDING AND VENTILATION FOR SToCK.-
Every farmer should see to it himself, how
ever Trustworthy may be his boys or other
assistants, that his cattle, sheep, horses and
hogs are we'll bedded as well as full fed
and watered also, that his barn or barns,
where his stock is kept and fed, is or are
well ventilated Domcsticated animals, as
well as man himself, need fresh air ; and
when compelled to breath a tainted and
therefore an irrespirabIe atmosphere, it is
at the expense or risk of health and the
highest purposes which one has in stock
breeding and keeping. Any observing
farmer can tell on opening his barn in the
morning whether the ventilation thereof is

RooTs AND Stock RAIsING.-The Canada
Farmer says: 1t is impossible to keep
stock advantageously without roots. This
fact and the fact also, that roots play such
an important part in judcious rotation,
ought 10 induce more attention to them
Turnip culture has been pronounced the
sheet anchor Of British agriculture 1t has
wrought little short Of a revolution in farm
ing matters in the old country, and it will
do the same here, if it can be made general
Turnips do not require to be sown until the
hurry of spring work is over, and thus a
season Of comparative leisure may be ap-
propriated 10 this important crop They
are pretty sure crop, and on good land,
highly productive and remunerative In
this country they cannot as in Britain, be
fed on the ground, but require storage.
They, however, stand a considerable de-
gree Of cold, and keep well either in pits or
moderately well protected cellars
