Diseased Potatoes-Efircts od Cattle

Diseased Potatoe,-Efircts od Cattle
John Haynes, writes the y. H.
Mirror and Farmer concerning the
bad effect produced OH cattle by
feeding them with rotten or partial
~ decayed potatoes. An acquain-
lance Of his. fed his COW, with them
and lost three of the number III a
short time. Various opinions, as TO
the cause of the death of the cows,
were expressed, but no one thought
of imputing il 10 the potatoes. A
post morten examination found the
first and second stomachs in a
healthy condition, but the third or
manifold was discovered 10 be dis
! tended, and one-half or more of it,
contents perfectly dry and adhering
To its walls, the result of inIiamma-
ton and the cause of death. Sub
sequently Jr. II. fed his cow Il few
bushels of diseased potatOes-a peck
/ per day-when she was attacked in
the same way is were those of his
ncighbor, when antidote> for poison
were administered with success.
There can be no doubt that, in
both eases, the effects produced
were the direct results OF feeding
diseased potatoes to the cattle.
Owners OF stock would do well to
make note of this.

w. w. Parker, of Benton, Iowa,
writes the Iowa Homestead con
corning his experience in raising
timber on the prairies. He COM
meuced from seed and cuttings in
lS5S-planting three acres To the
Black Locust, drilling in the seed.
The rows were eight feet apart, and
the intermediate space planted 10
corn. At two years old two thous-
and trees were tranSplanted 10
neighboring farms, and one hundred
dollars worth beside sold TO various
parties. In 1864 the grove was thin
ned with the AK, and ten loads OF
fence poles taken off. What were
left. up TO last fall, made an average
growth of Is feet in height, but the
bOrers attacked the trees in such
numbers a. To necesitate the cutting
of them down to save them for use.
The trees were from four to seven
inches in diameter, and.equal to at
least 2,0O0goOd oak rails. From his
experience. the writer is satisfied
that II will pay we'll to plant Cot
tonwood, Soft Maple, Lombardy
Poplar, and other soft varieties, for
fuel, even, without taking into con
sideration the protection against the
sweeping winds which career over
the prairies during the winter
months

The best implement to prune with

This implies that all pruning should
be done AT early stages in the growth
of the tree-done constantly on the

The Senate and Assembly both had the bills
providing for the State Constitutional Conven-
ton under discussion prior to the recess, and
the debate indicated some diversity of opin-
ion among the republicans upon the question
of representation. In the Assembly motion
was made by Mr.. Littlejohn to amend the bill
by allowing the election Of thirty-two delegates
at large in addition to the one hundred and
twenty-eight required by the bill, sixteen OF
whom shall be voted for by each political
party. This amendment is in accordance with
the recommendation Of Governor Fenton In
his annual message, and is calculated to insure
the election Of the ablest men on both sides,
independent of local and party considerations.
1t met with fierce opposition from portion
of the republicans /; but a. some OF the best
men on that side Of the House declared In its
favor Il will probably be- embodied in the law
by the aid Of democratic votes. 1t appears -
be desirable provision. The republicans
have some very able lawyers and practical
business men in this city who can become
members of the conven ton by no other means,
and whose experience and judgment would be
Of much advantage ia that body. There should
be no opposition to the amendment, especially
when the close vote Of the State Is considered,
and the consequent danger Of the eventual
defeat Of the revised constitution should the
convention be run on strong party lines II .

Alleged Canal Corruptions--A Hubbub in tho
Legislature.
Considerable noise is being made in the
the management of the canals and q commit
tee Of the Senate and Assembly has been
appointed to investigate the matter. These
investigating committees are very innocent
harmless affairs and seldom hurt anybody. The
one in question will no doubt have good time
with the Canal Commissioners and contractors,
drink few bottles OF poor champagne, get we'll
filed with abominable Albany whiskey and
make report extoling the virtues and honesty
of all who have anything to do with managing,
repairing or running the State canals.
The present breeze appears to have arisen
from a quarrel among the canal contractors
''ring.v 1t is storm that is sure to arise every
winter, and is generally allayed by COM
promises before it assumes any alarming pro-
portions. But it is unquestlonably true that
the canals have for years been rich source of
plunder and political intrigue. The party in
power always has used and probably always
viii use them for other than legitimate purposes.
State officials, shocked at the corruption they
have Witnessed have proposed that the State
should sell or lease those works and get them
out Of her hands
If the Legislature should really desire to
economize the canal management and to put a
stop to malpractices on the part Of State
officials and contractors, IL would find il very
easy to do 80. The case lies in nutshell.
Under the old superintendent system, when
those officers, with the division engineers, did
all the repairs of the canals, there was
no limit to the expenditure. The Canal Com
missioners would order any amount of labor
they saw at whenever an election or a town
meeting was approaching, and hundreds of
thousands of dollars were corruptly squan-
dered on repairs. The contract system was .
decided improvement upon the superintendent
system; but the law was loosely drawn and is
open to great deal Of imposition and fraud.
The contractor makes bid and receives an
award Of work, but when IL is concluded he
brings in claim for extra pay and readily
passes 1t through the Legislature and the Canal
Board. The present law should be so amended
a. to stop all this leakage in the shape of
claims and damages, by requiring that every
contract should be made with distinct spccii-
cations OF the prices to be paid for every kind
Of work. A return to the old superintendent
system would be going from bad to worse.
The Canal Auditor has it in his power to frame
amendments to the present contract law which |
would effectually put stop to the existing
custom Of paying heavy sums to contractors in
the shape Of damages, and the Legislature, II |
really desirous Of reform, should pass such .
bill at once. There Is no necessity for investi-
CATION to prove that the canals have been
grossly mismanaged. Instead Of wasting time
over that the Legislature had better 80 amend
the contract law a. to guard against corruption
In the future.

The bill declaring who shall act as President
in case Of vacancy passed the House of Repre-
sentatives ON Saturday &ithout division. 1t
will no doubt pass the Senate and become
law in its present form or with little modif-
cation. The action on this bill, like much
more Of the legislation Of the present Congress,
was induced by the conflict between that body
shall act as President when vacancy occurs
in almost every possible contingency Con-
gress invests itself with more power over
the matter than it ever exercised before.
The bill declares that Sin case of the
removal, death, resignation or inability of
both the President and Vice President Of the
United States, the President Of the Senate pro
tempore, and in case there shall be no Presi-
dent of the Senate, then the Speaker of the
House of Representatives for the time being;
and in case there shall be no Speaker, then the
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court and in
case there shall be no Chief Justice, then
the Justice of the Supreme Court who shall
have been longest commissioned shall act as
President until the disability shall be removed
or President shall be elected and qualified
Heretofore the Secretary Of State was author
ized and empowered to call new election for
President in case of Q vacancy when there
should be no Vice President to fill it; but he
can only do 80 under this bill when the Senate
and House of Representatives, by concurrent
resolution, shall request and direct him. And
If Congress should not be In session at the
time when vacancy occurs it is made the
duty of the officer discharging the duties of
President for the time being to issue procla-
nation convening both houses Of Congress
within sixty days after he assumes the duties
of President 1t will rest with Congress to
say when it shall meet whether new election
shall be ordered or not and the Secretary Of
State will be directed accordingly what to do.
1t is evident Congress is resolved to hold the
political as well as the legislative power here
after, and this is one of the measures brought
forward for that purpose.
