Where is slaverynow? Turn your
eyes to Ohio, where its power is Its
friend, and you will find it carried on
in more blind, subtle form than it
ever was at the South; it was the
laws of the South that made slavery
there-it is the laws of Ohio that
make slavery here. Which is the
worst, to make a man work for moth
ing, and board him, or take his earn
ings which he has earned, for moth
ing, without board? The Ditch Law
authorizes men to force from fifty to
two OIL three thousand dollars a piece
from men who ask not for, nor do not
want them, if it takes nearly all they
are worth to make them. Many a
man has been driven from his land
and home, because he could not ditch
it, and support his family Now, is
it right to force a man to give up all
he is worth, to help his neighbor to
improve, or to help the county or
township to make roads, or TO i'm
prove the country for the cOuntry's
sake. 1t betters the whole county to
ditch, why not make the county do
one third? 1t also betters the whole
township, why not make the town
ship do another third, and especially
on public highways. Then, if the
owner of the land does the other
third, would not that be more just
and equal Then all would be in
terested, and ditching would be done
without base swindle. Some men
say that it improves the value of the
land. What if it does? 1t would
improve it much more to make HIM
improve his adjoining neighbors,
farm, and build him a fine house; but
force him to do it, where is the right?
We send men to amend bad laws,
and make good ones. Why not
amend the Ditch Law 2 Slavery is
slavery, take a mans earnings which
way you will, and when done by bad
laws it is a bondage madn fast- Instiee
demands that ditching along public
highways should be done exclusive
ly 'by the county and township.
The power that locates ditch, should
help to make it, and there by keep
small farmers in. our own State.

FAR MER.

Interesting to Farmers--Shelter for
Stock.
This stormy day suggests the idea
of having every animal provided with
q dry place to live in. The long
drought Of the past season has ma
terially shortened the supply of rough
feed, so that farmers should econo-
mize with what they have. This
should not be attempted by putting
stock on "half rations," for that is
no economy at all. But cattle, horses,
&c, may be wintered on comparative
ly small amount of feed, if they are
well housed, regularly fed, and kind
ally handled. A large portion of what
they eat, goes to keep up animal
heat, and the excess if any, lays on
fat, or goes to milk, as the case may
be. Now as the heat manufacturing
process is the first that nature en-
cages in after an animal eats, it is
necessary to have good supply of
fuel for the occasion. If the animal
is exposed TO the cold, especially to
a storm, it requires an extra quanti-
ty to keep up the fire within. Did
you ever travel all day in the cold
rain? And was it the exercise that
made you as "hungry as wolff" Or
was it the loss of heat carried off by
the cold damp air7 Now if your
cattle and horses are to-day standing
around in the storm as / fear some of
them are, with their backs drawn
up like porcupines, you will have to
bestow extra feed, or see bones stick
out before spring. And then what
a shame to punish dumb brutes in
that manner. 1t is unkind, it is un-
christian. The writer of these lines
travels frequently through several
counties in Northern Ohio, has OBJ
served that but limited shelters are
provided for stock, especially cattle,
on most of the farms. When l see
animals shiverfng in the storm, in
The big road, I conclude that the owner
is either poor economist, or ascrGel
man, or perhaps both.
Now it is not very expensive, nor
laborious to erect shsads, or even
enclosed shelters; every farmer
should see to it, that before another
storm occurs, every hoof Is in the
dry. You will save feed. have the
manure for your hungry field next
year, your cows will be more gentle,
and give more milk, your horses do
more work, every hing will look
better in the Spring, and you will
have a good conscience to boot
Every farmer likes to see his animals
in good condition; he feels proud oil
fat horse, and ashamed of poor
one. A like feeling should exist
toward ali other domestic animals.
l would especially insist upon
lshelter, and good feed, and a kind
handling of milch cows. Ityou want
a eopious flow of rich milk, and
Large rolls of yellow butter next
Summer, now is your time to secure
them. By keeping your COWS in
good flesh in the fore part of the
Winter, they will repay you well
next Summer.
Iwould heartily condemn the prac.
tice Of kicking or beating animals
''to make them mind" as the boys
say. When some men or boys go
about the stock, the poor creatur es
scamper off as if an enemy were
after them, or stand trembling with
