DoUBLE-MINDED FARMERs.-One
great principle for success in business, is
learning trade well and then sticking to
it. 1t requires a long time to know every
thing connected with successful business.
An acquaintance, seed-dealer, stated
that for the first five years, he could not
ascertain that he made anything. But
he was learning. Before ten years, he
was clearing five thousand dollars per
year. Another was doing well in manu-
featuring ropes. But he was unstable in
mind, and although his friends advised him
to ''hong to the ropeS,' he was not getting
rich fastenough, but he meddled with bust
ness he had not learned sufficiently,
bought mill, bought grain, and then
broke bank by his large failure. Some
farmers come to the conclusion that co'cS
are the most profitable; purchase animals;
erect buildings, and begin well. But be-
ing new business, they do not succeed as
they expected; they might, if they would
stick to it. The next year they sell their
dairy, and buy sheep. The price of wool
low that year; and they hear that much
money has hten made by raising tobacco
Thus they 20 Il, changing from one thing
to another, and never succeeding in any.
Stick to your business.

DEPTH AND DISTANCE OF DRAINs.-
Experience has determined that twenty
five to thirty feet apart, for compact or
clayey soils, and thirty-fve to forty for
light and porous soils, are proper distances
for accomplishing speedy and effectuaI
drainage. When draining was frstintro-
duced into some parts of Britain the drains
were made one and a-half or two feet deep,
and eighteen feet apart After many thous-
and miles were laid, they became defec-
tive. They were then about three feet
deep, and twice as far apart. This cost
less, and vas more efficient. A greater
depth and distance was again found unfa-.
vorable.-.4nnuc5 Register.

FLOUR MAKING.-The question how
much wheat does 1t take to make a barrel
of flour is often asked and the answer is
ofgeneral character, "fve bushels are al
lowed" AT the annual fair Of the Dubu-
que county Qowa) Agricultural Society
in 1867, premium of three dollars was
offered for the best barrel of -four made
from winter wheat, and also the same
made from spring wheat. A firm entered
one barrel each, accompanied with the
sta tement that sixteen bushels of winter
wheat yielded three barrels and one hun
dred and three pounds of fiour-at the rate
of four bushels and fifteen pounds of
wheat to the barrel. OF spring wheat,
fifty bushels yielded eleven barrels of flour
being four bushels and thirty-two pounds
to the barrel. The wheat was fair quality
and no more.

BUcKwHEAT.-Few crops can be turned
TO better account than buckwheat, especi-
ally where it is desirable to ameliorate the
soil, or clean it for future crops. 1t exerts
a chemical action upon stiff, harsh soils,
disintegrating and rendering them finer
and more easily worked. This is one of
the peculiarities of Buckwheat. On new
grounds especially, it exerts highly
beneficial influence in the directions named
and for this purpose is as largely grown
as for the seed. 1t leaves the land in fine
condition for wheat or potatoes, killing out
weeds, briars, and wild grass, aud mel
lows the land. To fit land for succeed
ing crops, plow in a crop of Buckwheat,
when in full blossom, at which time it is
in its most succulent state. 1t natures
rapidly, succeeding best upon our loose
loamy soil. 1t may be grown upon almost
any kind ofland.

NEST EGGs.-To have supply of

empty some eggs, as you need them,
through as small an aperture as possible,
mix up with water to the consistency of

the shells trimming full; when they
have hardened, if you choose to peel them
you will find them perfect; and II you
think your Brahmas will be fastidious
about color, little annatto mixed in will
rnder the Illusion perfect.

THE CHINou-BUG.-Dr. Sherman of

THE CHINoH-BUG.-Dr. Sherman of
Waukegan, ILL.,, after patient series Of
microscopic observations, made discov-
cry which will surely interest wheat-grow-
ers who have been troubled by the chincl1-
bug pest. His investigations have showed
that the seed wheat or kennel was used as
a sort of s'fostermother" by the bug, and
that in all wheat grown upon land where
there are bugs there is deposited in the
blow, or fuzzy end Of the kernel, large
quantity of eggs, which produce the bugs
next season. 1t follows that if the kernel
of seed-wheat is the general depository of
the eggs of the chinch-bug, our farmers
have been sowing the pest each year as
regularly as they have their wheat, and
if such is the case, the eradication Of the
bug will be easily accomplished..-eilher
by sowing no wheat that has been in con-
tract with the bug or by sleeping the seed
in some solution before sowing which
will destroy the larya. Scientific men
have the power of investigating this i'm
portant matter, and the theory is one
which is of sufficient plausibility and i'm
portance to demand its proof.

GRooMING TENDER HORSES. In
grooming a horse men sometimes use a
heavy curry-comb and heavier hand,
not because they are necessary to the
cleaning process, but simply to see how
the animal will 'cut up" This is all
wrong, and it is pity that groom thus
abusing his power, could not be made to
change places with the horse as often as
the wrong is perpetrated. Many horses,
and good ones, too, are thin-skinned and
peculiarly sensitive to the touch of the
curry-comb. Such might well be spared
the inficton, since wisp OF hay and a
card with fine teeth will be found ample
for the purpose of cleaning and Fiction
A heavy and rough instrument, used with
an unsparing hand makes the horse sus-
picious, sours his temper and sometimes
induces disagreeable retaliation. A horse
wlel and properly groomed twice day,
will appear better, feel better, work more
vigorously and be less likely to become
ill, than if neglected or left 10 such groom
ing only as fence corner or friendly
rack may supply.--M Y Times.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-06-23
uN1TRD WAVES sBNATORs.

The choice Of United States Senators to
represent Louisiana is occupying so much
public attention that we must refer to it
again. We shall make no personal refer
ence to candidates, but treat only
of the general principles involved.
Our Legislature will be called upon
to elect two Senators, one for the I'M
expired term ending March 8, 1873, and
one for the unexpired term ending March
8, ls71-the one to serve nearly FIVE and
the other nearly three years. As we have
before stated, a Senator of the United States
should be man of great ability, of I'M
questioned integrity, and above all a
staunch and true Republican. Our
party has just finished hard campaign,
and won glorious victory in
this State. We have ratified a
constitution guaranteeing equal civil and
political rights to all men without regard
to race, color, or previous condition; but
we have still 70 carry the principles of that
constitution into practical operation.
They are to be engrafted into our laws, to
be the governing rules of our courts, and
to become the practice of our everyday
life; and before this is accomplished the
Republican party has other hard battles to
fight, and other victories to win. 1t will re-
quire ten years of Republican rule in Loui-
siana to bury the dead sins and fallacies of
the past and build lasting foundation for
liberty, justice, and equality before the
law. 1t is therefore most essential that the
party should be made powerful by every
possible and honorable means, and one
great element of power is wealth.
If all the Federal patronage in this
State had been in the hands Of
the Republican party during the late cam
paign our struggle would have been much
less hard and our victory more glorious. We
are soon to have a Republican President,
and it will be mainly for the United States
Senators from Louisiana to say how the rich
offices within this State shall be distributed.
1t will be mainly for them to say whether
they shall be filed by Copperheads, by ex-
rebels, by halfway men, by men who seek
only their personal interests, or by good
Republicans who will be true to their pro-
fessions and their principles, true to the
Republican party, and true to all
of the members Of that party. With
the Federal and State patronage of this
State in the hands Of Republicans the
future successes of our party are assured.
With it against US success will always be
doubtful. In this view alone it is all i'm
portant that the Senators elected should be
of unquestioned and unquestionable fealty
to the great Republican party. The lesson
we have lately been taught by the failure
to convict Andrew Johnson will not be
easily forgotten, nor will our country
soon recover from the evils which have re-
suited from that failure. 1t is a grave, a
solemn responsibility in this matter which
is resting on the Republican members of
the General Assembly, but we have faith
in their ability, their integrity, and their
patriotism, for they have been tried as by
fire
