Rorcible Comment.

3 We believe the following extract
from the Clarksburg Conservative to be
3 one of the most forcible comments upon
s the evils of West Virginia Radicalism
!, we have ever seen. The iniquity OF the
registration system, the extravaganza
.and corruption of loyalty" its un-
Righteous ambition, it's multiplication
of offices and office holders, and its mis-
application of the public funds are all
Z SET forth in few plain lines, with such
force and clearness, that none can err
We have not here the bluster of words,
and the dreariness of lengthy argument
: but we have the patent logic of facts
Let every Taxpayer ponder over thi:
picture taken from life:
THr "SwARMS OF OFFICERS. "A

Clark 2l. In Mingo, one of the most

I were not u sufficient number left upon

a the county of Randolph has AS OFF,
GERS, il only casts 800 VOTES. There
are not more than $50 voters registered
\ in the county, out of a voting
population of about 500. AS
I there are more offices to be filled
i then there are voters to fill them, it is
necessary that the "loyap men should
have several different offices forced up
on their modest merit. They evidently
feel themselves as equal to the task OF
running the machine" as does General
Sheridan, for they declare their inten-
ton to strike off a couple of hundred
more of the tsx-paying voters of the
county. This will leave 100 LOYAL
rioters to fill 4l5 OFFICES. 1t wilfgiye

s,.,e Lunnric Asylum nj Weston.

Affairs in connection with the Lunatic
ASYLUM, now in process of erection at
Weston, are evidently i'll diSgracefal
condition. The Directors, all Radical
appointees Of Governor FOREMAN, are
quarrelling among themselves, each
charging the other with thieving, cor
ruption, perjury, fraud, and other pecu-
liarly Radical practises. One faction,
headed by p. VI. HALE, charges upon
the other, which is led by FARNswoETH
and DR.. HhBS,a purpose to manage
the enterprise entirely for private ad-
vantage, while FARNSwoRTH'S clique
respond with charges of corruption,
double-dealing and general raScality.
Bet Neen the two, the public interests
are suffering, the work lags, the EN-
ployes are discoutented and speedy
suspension of operations is contem-
plated. ..s.......
We think this will be very unsatis-
factory to the people. The original
estimate for that Asylum was 100000.
The nice sum Of S410,O0O has already
been appropriated and nearly expended,
and the first ring Ct tie building Is not yet
completed. Take past operations as
basis Jf calculation, il is clear that this
institution cannot be completed for n
less sun than s1,0O0,0OO, or more than
three times Us much rs it was designed
Ia cost. The additional 500, ,00O may be
safely set down as 4 premium upon
Radical villaiuy.
The disgraceful squabbling of the pres
rnt Board Of Directors is fine illustra-
tiun of the executive ability of the
Governor of this State. The participants
in this broil are men of his selection ;
some of them are buzZartls from abroad,
who have gathered here to feast upon
the stlal of Radicalism others are
native cormorantS, fattening upon home
interests and the flesh and blood OF
domestic prosperity. But whether of
foreign or domestic breed the instincts
aud purposes of these people are the
slme They are united IN raid
upon the public money, and for the
damage tO the State and its peO-
pie that may follow, the man
who placed these corrupt incapabies IN
office is directly responsible. Let Gov
ernor BOHEMIAN make amends for the
mischief he has done by the prompt re-
moval of his squabbling pets and the
appointment of bsnest men to succeed
them.
The Weston ELpoSifOr, IN speaking of
the trouble among the Directors, says ::
IL is shameful squabble over the
spoils of the State, and it is disgrace
TO the cause of philanthropy and hu-
manity, retarding as it docs the compile
tion of the institution which our State
has in contemplation for the afflicted,
who until its completion have to be
confined in the filthy and loathsome
cells of common jails. ..r

SELECTING CATTLE.

Let breeders select dams that have size,
plenty of milking properties, with ribs out Of
their loins, like bullock that is shown for a
prize; standing on short legs, wide and square
made, regardless of registered improved sires,
however numerous, attached to their ped.
grees Use only true fine, purely bred bulls
descended from dams of note, wide, deep and
C compact made when matured, with hides that
fill the hand, covered over with plenty Of fine
hair; animals naturally hardy in constitution
not so long as a barn in their middle, and
high on the leg, with fat sides, nipped in
waist, and slack loins. Select the best OF
sires from bulls with undeniable pedigree; no
mixed up alloyed gentlemen full Of cart horse
blood, which give substance only in appear
ance, and that is not propagated in the stock.
Avoid underbreeding in your bulls; Gull, draft
and sell bad milking COWS and doubtful, bad
breeders; stick to milk, to size. to robustness
of constitution, and success must attend your
efforts.

soILING MILK COWS.

am decidedly of the opinion that 1t pay
to soil mich COWS through the summer, for
succeeded in summering twenty COWS well,
the past season, on place where seventeen
we're the most ever kept before, and have
made larger amount of manure than some
would have made through the winter from the
same stock. / doubled the amount Of solid
manure by filing the gutter in rear Of the
cows stalls, every time the stable is cleaned,
with dry muck. This furnishes abundance Of
material to grow my green fodder next year.
l would ike to know if any one has ever
tried milkweed for soiling cows? l am of the
opinion that they are much ahead of any 9th
er fodder for making milk. Cows eat them
eagerly. 1t is something I have never tho't
of before this summer. ] have gathered a
few seeds and shall try the experiment next
year.
a great amoEnt of excellent tep-dressiug
is lost by farmers who have no barn cellars,
and who take no pains to provide dry mate
rial to absorb the urine from their stock.
This might be saved in still another way, il
those already mentioned are not convenient.
Many cannot have cellars without much ex-
pense, and would have TO haul dry material
too far to make it pay. Make holes in the
floor in rear of stock, or use lattice work, and
put conductors underneath-half a hollow
log would answer-and conduct it into els
tern, from which it may be pumped to irri-
rate grass land with small cost and great
proft.-Nel0 England Farmer.

HOW TO TEACH A HORSE TO BACK.


HOW TO TEACH A HORSE TO BACK.
A correspondent of the Rural New Yo5ker,
would teach horse to back in this wise "a
horse that will not, or don't know how to
back, should be harnessed beside one that is
kind and well broken, and hitched to lum-
Der wagon, loaded mot too heavy with wood,
rails, or anything at hand, or that you wish
to move, and then find in the road or field. a
knoll where the surface is smooth and free
from stones, and the descent from one to two
rods Drive the loaded wagon to the top
and after stopping minute or so, command
your horses to back, pulling steady but firm
on the lines. The wagon being in position
to start very easy, and being loaded, win not
easily stop after it is in motion, and your
horse, if the harness be good, will be very
likely to back down the hill After getting
to the bottom Of the hill, speak kindly to him.
Be sure to say whoa about the time you see
the wagon is going to stop. Patting him and
rubbing your hand over his head and face,
repeat the going up and backing down the
hill until he knows what it means to back,
and then commence backing the empty wag-
on on the level, gradually increasing the load,
and you viii soon be able to back all the load
that would be reasonable TO back, not forget
ting to pat your horse, rubbing the hand Over
his face and head, and calling him gooC
fellow, and using him ike one. He WILSON
make up his mind that he really is good fel
law, and of course he will act like one, ant
win become your friend and willing slave
and do what he is required to, even border
ing on the impossibilites.
