POLITICS ILLUSTRATED.

On the outside of the EVENING ARGUS OF
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and on the
inside of the WEEKLY ARGUS, tor this week,
will be found a cut illustrating the condition
to which radicalism has brought the country.
This design first appeared in the Illinois
State Register, which paper viii produce a
series of them during the coming campaign,
and we have procured the consent of the
proprietors of that paper to get copies of
the cuts from their engraver. We advise
our friends to cut this picture out of their
papers and post it up where it can be seen.

SfaschieRs for Cattle.

Every observing farmer who uses STAN
chions with open mangers for feeding cat
tie knows that there Is something wrong
In this arrangement, for he sees that no

anu In almost every hcr,l one or more re-
quire extra feed aud care.
II Il well known that some cows are
twice as long taking their food "a others.
some on account OF poor teeth, and Others
from their natural habits. Then In a
common open mangcr animals that take
In food rapidly, will swallow that before
them and steal from their less active
neighbors, and to more etiectually accom-.
plish this, We have often seen them on
their knees that they might reach a great
or distance.
Some animals also that have the mas
terry Omen act very shrewdly, and draw
the fodder ffom before those beside them
first, keeping their own allowance to lei
surely consume, or work over and gather
the best. after the other Is gone.
Sometimes grain or roots arc fed to n
few and not the whole, and In this case
with open managers the nelghboring AMI
mails arc set into n state Of agitation, and
they reach and struggle to obtain taste.
lfthc feed Is given out OF the sight OF
others, no such commotion occurs.
Now this fault may be easily remedled
BY dividing the manger Into sections with
boards, allowing each animal space
enough to contain just the food allotted TO
him.

Apples for miich Coos.

Some years ago DIR. Emmons Of New
York made u careful analysis Of the ap-
pie. III recollect Alright, he made the
nutrient, or feeding value Of apples, near
~ or quite equal to that of potatoes. But
be that as Il may, have for the past two
months freely ied apples to my horse,
COW, sheep, swine and young stock, and
rs know with best results-my cows Civ
inga q large yield Of milk and cream, pro-
duclng quality of butter nearly or quite
equal to that produced upon full feed Of
sncculent grass. The apples are cut In
one Of "Nuttlng's root cutters" (an imple-
ment that gives me entire satisfaction)
about twelve hours before fed to my
stock. This exposure of the cut apples
to the atmosphere seems to much neut-
ralize the acidity OF the sour ones. In the
long run, think II more economical to
raise good, late keeping varieties Of ap-
Piles for stock feeding, than that OF grow
Ing root crops for the same purpose.
Perhaps, however. IL had been brought
up on farm In "Old England" instead
OF New England. l might entertain differ
ent views upon this subject.

Remedy for Cargo, or cs,s.d Bog.

A writer In the New England Farmer
gives new remedy for garget In cows,
whinh he says has never failed with him
and with others who have used It. 1t
consists In simply giving the effected AMI
NAL few messes of beans, about half
pint at u time, once or twice day, until q
cure Il affected. In the early stages Of
the disease few messes will suffice, and
the same result Is effected whether the
beens be dry or green. In the latter case
q few hills of the vines and beans may be
given, us cows will eat them most rcadl-
y.
This Is about the simplest remedy we
have seen recommended, and If rs effectual
rs yOuched for, must prove OF very great
value to those who have the care Of milch
stock. Garget often proves very trouble
some and difficult Of control, especially II
neglected during the early stages OF the
disease. We have seen cases OF garget
I'm cows that were being fed pea meal
(Which Is somewhat similar to beans In
It's composition,) mingled with oatmeal
once day. Pea and bean meal, when
fed to milch cows, promote now OF milk,
and probably there may be some medicln-
n, virtue In the beans as to operate favor
ably In allaying garget. We hope those
who may have trouble with their stock In
this way will give this new remedy trial,
that II may be known whether 1t be Of val
ue or otherwlse.-Uiiea Herald.

Make Nor. Bs,,er--H..s to do q.

The ydnsriean .dgriesltsrist thinks thai
with the present price Of butter. it would
pay well to feed the cows that give milk,
more literally. with the View Of increasing
It's quality, and thereby furnishing the ma
terial for moie butter. The suggestion Ia
a good one, and should be acted upon at
once. What extra food to give depends
upon circumstances. The Agrieuituria
thinks II probable that corn-meal Is the
cheapest food that can be used, and that
four quarts day for each cow might
be given with great advantage. Ordlna.
rily corn-meal Is the most convenient feed
for most farmers to use, but that lt Is the
best or cheapest to give cows for the pur-
pose of increasing their milk, Is doubtful.
Its tendency Is rather to fatten than to
make milk. We are inclined to the opln-
lon that bran and wheat screenings with
a liberal supply OF roots, good hay, and
all the scdrm water the cow would drink,
with warm quarters and abundant bed
ding, would do as much towards increas-
Ing not only the quantity but the quality
of milk, rs any treatment that could be
devised. We have made eight pounds Of
butter In a week In February from q cow
that never had eaten spoonful OF meal
or any kind Of grain, having nothing but
dry hay, and all the icdrm icater she ,could
drink triee day. The flow Of milk was
large, aud upon trial, In seven days she
made eight pounds Of butter-and those
seven days happened to be the severest Of
the season. The milk Immediately after
stralning was subjected to O slight scald
by setting the pans over kettle OF hot
water. At the churning handsome butter
was produced inside of i've minutes. How
much butter might be made from this cow
under the high pressure system of grain
Ing. remains to be seen. That the warm
water did It's full share towards producing
the above result, We have no doubt. From
four to six pals full were drank daily,
more than twice US much rs would have
been had the water been cold.
We advise the warm water treatment,
with good hay. roots and bran. Oat meal.
pea meal, oil cake, and corn meal, all
have their advocates, and to none Of which
will the COW object.
BY all means give the cows something
that will enable them to give down the
milk, and at the same time keep up their
condition SO they may enter upon another
season with their strength unimpaired.

cask Of slakcd lime, all well compounded,
and left In heap, In building, two weeks
before using. The extreme wet weather
prevented planting until the 9th To sth Of

was, 22i bushels ears Of sound corn, %
bushels small corn, about 1 bushels Of
