tains the following card, which explains
itself:

& Radical Defeat.


IN his speech at Binghamton, New
York, the Governor elect Of Virginia said
that the result of the election in that
State was the triumph of reconstruction
over the carpet baggers and scalawags
These two words comprehend the en-
tire white portion of the Radical party in
Virginia, as they dom every other Southern
State. The rpet-baggers are the North
ern Radicals who have moved South TO
feather their nests" with public office,
or otherwise. The scalawags are tt ,
Southern citizens who have "gone back
on their recent associates and colsborel
in rebellion, and are now the most blatan
among the Howling Dervishes of "ioysi-
ty."
What did Governor Walker mean when
he said that the result Of the election was
the triumph of reconstruction over the
Radical party? He surely did not mean
that it was the triumph of that party. And
as there is no other Radical party in Vi
ginia, and no other party claiming or pre-
tending tn be in sympathy with the Radi
cal party in the North, it is pretty clear
that his meaning was equivalent to whist
it would have been hal he said that the
result was the triumph of rehabilitation
over the party that stands opposed to re
| Mobilization.
Now, the Democratic party has steadily
and uniformly advocated the rehabilitation
| of the Southern States-the reinstatement
of their people in their former abilitis
and rights. as their own political rulers
And the Radical party as steadily anc
uniformly opposed rehabilitation, and Dc
manded that the better class of the South
ern people should be deprived of their for
mer political abilities and rights. The
result of the election in Virginia has ceT.
tainly been the defest of that demand
The disabling and restricting clauses O
the Constitution were defeated. In tina
defeat the Radical party was defeated
The reassertiOn Of the former abilities
and rights of the people triumphed. l.

milk, one.half as fast as if they were not
MIXED. When there is a good flow of
milk, little or no fat is secreted. And
why? Simply because all the nutriment
In the food which they consume, which
would form fat or flesh, goes into the milk
pail. Therefore, the sooner we discontinue
to milk farrow cow, when we have con-
cluded to fatten her, the sooner she will
be ready for the shambles, and the greater
will be the amount of tallow and flesh in
her carcass.
These suggestions apply more particu-
larly to spring and summer. II farrow
cow is in tolerable good condition. in the
winter, and the calculation is to make
beef of her the next summer, or the next
autumn, she may be MIXED all winter, pro-
vided she be we'll fed. But she should be
dried of" before she is turned to grass.
Then by allowing such COWS to feed on
good grass during the summer, they will
make fair beef early in autumn by feeding
them only few bushels Of meal. But if
they be MIXED all summer we may ex-
pect less and tough beef, and but little tai
low.
Let farmers remember that if they gain
ten dollars in butter and cheese by milk
ing farrow COW during the summer, they
will have ten dollars worth less OF beef
and tallow than they would have had il
the cow had been "dried off" few months
sooner.
Young COWS that are not too low in flesh
dried off by the first of August will usual
ly make good beef late in the fall The
time to discontinue milking depends very
much upon the age and condition of the
animal, and the amount of feed the owner
has. The best beef is that quickest made
and when pumpkins and corn can be fed
we would as soon have cow MIXED until
the first of September as not.
An old raw-boned creature should not
be MIXED at all during the summer, if Nc
feed other than that which the pasture al
fords is to be given, and the meat should
be sold to those who have good teeth and
strong stomachs. A cow Of this kind is
never fit for food unless the flesh and fat i;
laid on rapidly.-American Stock Journal

The Treatment of Sick Animals.

THE crying evil of the agriculture Of
this country is, that we have no good sys
tenn OF veterinary instruction. Except in
the large cities, and, indeed, in most Of
those, it is impossible to find a well educa
ted veterinary surgeon. Throughout the
whole length and breadth of the land, oul
poor dumb brutes, condemned to suffer
from diseases generally brought about by
our own careleSsness or neglect, are
obliged to bear the still greater suffering
of the barbarOus treatment of common
farrlers and quacks, who know almost
nothing of the organization of their
bodies. AS natural consequence, violent
purgings, frightful bloOd-letting, blisters
and firings, are applied without thought
and without reason, entailing untold ago
ny to the animal, and generally much loss
to its owner. Of course, when an animal
is sick, any farmer who is ignorant of what
should be done ought to secure the best
advice within his reach. But he should
always retain so much control over the
treatment as to avoid resort to barbar-
Gus remedies, unless the unskilled practi-
TONER can convince him that there is good
reason for it: for, as general rule, an
animal left to the Dguided curative pro-
cesses of nature would come better out of
its troubles than if subjected to the oper-
alton of brutal means for the restoration
OF Its health. With animals, as with men,
there is far too much medicine giving,
blistering, and bleeding; and probably
more are killed or permanently injured by
these practices than are cured by them
OF course, in some desperate cases, they
are necessary, but they should always be
resorted to with caution, and with much
hesitation. In all minor diseases, which
result almost invariably from bad air, bad
food, filth, and neglect, the wisest treat
ment is the removal of the cause, and the
restoration Of those simple, natural condi-
tons upon which the return, no less than
the maintenance, Of health is based. The
purging ball may often be with advantage
supplanted by lcosening dict. b eeding !;
almost invariably by such diet and by
pure air. Warm clothing and thorough
grooming will usually do the work of the
blister, and do it much better. In all cases
OF strains, bruises, and wounds, water is
an almost sovereign remedy; and in nine
tenths of the cases in which it is thought
necessary to send for the local cow doctor
or horse doctor, the simple treatment
above indicated will be found not only
cheaper, but far better in its application
and In its effects-American AqricM

Mixed Stock In Pasture.

noticed, some time ago, a good deal writ
ten about keeping mixed stock in pasture
As | have been keeper of stock from
very early youth until now, 1 venture
to give my opinion. And first, | have
found that sheep do very well amongst
cattle, but cattle do badly amongst sheep
To prove it, let the farmer take the foo
der left by the cattle, even when part of i,
has been trodden under their feet, and il
the sheep are not fully fed, they will see
the sheep eat it up very greedily and
then let him take what his sheep leave
and offer it to his cattle, and he will find
they won't taste it if they can get any
thing else or let him turn his mich COWS
into q sheep pasture, and he will fine
them to fail in milk.
Cattle do very well where horses pas
ture. In proof of this, every farmer must
have seen that cattle will cat the litter
of horses, even if fully fed, but horses
won't eat what cattle leave, unless com
PEELED to do so. But horses and sheer
will do well in the same pasture, especial
ly the horses. To prove this, let the farm
er turn out the sheep from their yard and
turn in his horses, and they will eat al
the sheep have left, even the litter around

Iowa Democracy.


TIE following resolutions were adopted
by the recent State Democratic Conven-
ton of Iowa
Whereas, Upon the eve OF political canvass the
time-honOred usage OF our party requires that
platform OF principles be announced for the gov
eminent OF those who may be elected to Office
ResoiUed, That the Democratic party view with
alarm the action of an INSCRIPTIONS majority In
Congress, in its attempts 10 absorb the powers OIL
the Executive and judicial departments of the
government, and TO annihilate the rights and
functions reserved 10 the Stare governments
ResOLCed That we favor a reform in the \ All ona
Banking system. looking to an ultimate aOolluo1
of that pernicious plan for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 81
the few at the expense of the many.
ReSOtCel, That now, rs in time past, we are or
posed to a high protective tariff, and that we WI
use every effort TO prevent and defeat that system
of national legislation which would enrich small
class of manufacturers at the expense OF the
great mass of producers and consumers, and
that we are in favor of such reforms in our tari
system as shall promote commerce with every Ma
ton OF the world.
ReSOtced, That the pretended trial, conviction.
end execution of persons not belonging TO the
military or naval service Of the United States by
military commission is in direct conflict with the
Constitution, and we denounce the same as un
worthy OF free people, and dlsgraceiul 10 The
American government.
ResOiCed, That we demand no more, and will
submit TO nothing less, than the settlement OF
the Alabama claims according to the recognized
rules of international law, and that we declare II
to be the duty of the government to protect every
citizen, whether naturalized or native, in every
right of liberty and property throughout the
world, without regard to the pretended claims
of foreign nations TO their allegiance.
ResOlCed, That W. are in favor of and insist
upon an economical administration OF the Ma
tional and State governments, that the people
may be as speedily as possible relieved from the
load OF taxation with which they are now OPP
pressed and that public officers should be held to
strict accountability to the people for all their
official acts.
ReSOlCed, That national debt Is a natiOnsl
curse, and that while We favor the payment OF
present indebtedness according TO the strict
letter of the contract, we would rather 7epudate
the same than see it made the means for the es-
adjustment of an Empire upon the ruins of con
stitutional law and liberty
ResOiCed, That in the opinion of this COnven-
ton the sO-called Maine liquor law, which nOw
disgraces the statute books of the State of Iowa,
ought to be repealed at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

Fattening FarrOw Cows.

THIS is often attended with great and
unnecessary expense of feed, simply be-
cause the proprietor does not understand
what kind of management such animals
require, in order to tatten we'll and in the
shortest possible period of time. Young
farmers-and sometimes old ones, also
appear to be in doubt whether farrow
cow will or will not fatten as well while
she gives milk, and many very intelligent
men have continued to milk a farrow COW
until she was almost ready for the butcher,
and have flattered themselves that the
cow was just as fat as she would have
been had she not been MIXED But no
theory can be more absurd.
No COW, or female of any kind of ami
NAL, can grow fat, or fieshy, while giving

n CORRESPONDENT ofthe San Francisco
Bulletin gives a long and interesting &C
count of the lepers' settlement on PENN
sula of the island of Molokai. The place
is very difficult of access, and when q
leper has once been conducted thither he
never returns. The settlement was es-
tablished a little more than three years
ago, and during that time 80 lepers have
been cared for, of whom 81 have died The
$50 remaining cases are persons ranging
in age from six to eighty years, and the
term OF their afilictiOn varies from less
than one year to fifteen years. The nus
bands and wives of those stricken with
leprosy frequently live with them, and
often for a long time without contracting
the disease. The sick are generally quite
cheerful, for, although they are aware
that their cases are hopeless, leprosy is a
painless disease, and all their senses be-
come SO benumbed that they lose the feel
ing of self-loathing, which one would sup
pose they must have in their horrible con-
dition. The correspondent describes the
scene in the hospital for the worst cases
with almost nauseating particularly, but
