.sv Il is conceded by all who have tried

easy. It is conceded by all who have tried
them, that we have new varieties of pOta-
toes more prolific than the old, much less La
BILE to rot, and of fair quality for the table.
And yet the mass of farmers cling to the
old, in spite of the rot, because they have
well established reputation in the mar
kets, aud sell well when they can be
raised They hesitate to buy seedlings
that have been thoroughly tested and are
fully indorsed by our best horticulturists.
This want of faith is the reason, msinly,
why agriculture does not improve more
rapidly, and why other callings ere
crowded with sdventurers at the expense
of the farm. The merchant makes We o.
lures, whenever he sees a good opport'n-
nifty, not only investing all his spare capt.
tai, but often all that he is worth, in
a single enterprise The ventures of the
farmer would never be so largely and
suddenly lucrative as those of the mer-
chant sometimes prove to be, but then he
runs no such risks. Il is safe to make
ventures in barn cellars, and IN the very
great enlargement of the manure heap, In
Undertaking, in lime and clover, n I'M
proved tools and stock, and IN new va
rieties of fruits and vegetables. We
should show by our investments that We
have faith in our business, and that x c
expect to make living by it, and get
handsome returns for our capital. This
done, our young men will quit measuring
ribbons and tape, and go 10 measuring
land and working it. Let us have faith

4" III the Fat Goes into the Pail.o

THIS truth cannot be too often repeated
a cow that is good mixer should be fed
literally, not only while she is giving milk,
but while she is dry. All the fat she &C.
cumulates before she calves will find its
way to the pail during the summer. There
is no period at which cow lays on fat 50
rapidly rs before she calves, provided she
has food enough. 1t is wise provision
Of nature. And yet many farmers feed
nothing but straw and cornstalks at this
period. Because the COW is not giving
milk they think it will not pay to supply
more food than is necessary to sustain life.
Frequently the poor COWS are not even
provided with shelter from the storm.
And it is a myst cry how they manage to
digest straw enough to keep up their ami
NAL heat. No wonder that many of them
have to be lifted ~ the spriEig. There
is nothing that pays g. well as good shell
ter and good feed for COWS during winter,
whether they are giving milk or not. Ev-
cry pound of fat stored up before calving
will, if the cow is a good mixer, find its
way to the pail during the summer And
a pound of tallOw will make more than a
pound of butter, because the former con
| tains from 10 to 20 per cent.-1mertcGn

Stirring Sell around Trees.

THE opening or Tightening the soil
around the roots of trees, in the spring or
fall, for the purpose Of letting in warmth,
and affOrding a freer medium for the eX-
pansi0n AM development OF the roots, is
of great value in promoting the health
and vigor of the tree. Al trees, whether
fruit or ornamental, young or old, lndi-
genous or exotic, are vastly benefited by
this process In old orchards, the soil
about the trunks of the trees, and to q con-
siderable distance from them, in evary
direction, should be carefully broken, ano.
the upper surface, to the depth of three or
four inches, removed in the spring, every
four or five years. The eggs of the cur
culio and other insects are deposited in
this stratum, and if not removed or des-
troyed, will produce insects, the ravages
of which the succeeding year will be pro-
ductive Of far greater loss than the ex-
pense of removing the soil and replacing
it with compost or loan, 1t is an utterly
hopeless undertaking to attempt the cult
walton of good fruit, when no measures
are resorted to to obviate the fatal ravages
OF this detcstable and insidious foe; and
the remedy now suggested is by no means
expensive, if we take into consideration
the advantages otherwise resulting to the
trees from its application.
Any good soil, taken from the open fields
or cultivated lands may be used as a sub
stitute for compost, and very small guam
tity will suffice Even if no fresh matter
is applied, would recommend the rcmov-
al of the surface soil, and would replace it
when convenient Chip manure, or old
dung covered with straw, answers well for
| this purpOse'-COr. Germantown ItI(grdph

Another Grand Outrage.

We presume the readers of the RepuUi-
can will share with us both the surprise
and the indignation produced by the news
that the House of Representatives at Wash
ington yesterday denied Colonel Switzler's
right to a seat in the present Congress, by
vote showing a majority against him OF
twenty-five
This case has been so often stated that it
is scarcely necessaryto refer to its features
again. Colonel SwitZlcr received a ma
iOrity of the votes cast in the Ninth Dis
trict of this State in the election of 1866.
The Secretary of State "threw out" the
returns from the county of Galloway, and
gave the commission 10 Mr.. Anderson.
Colonel S. contested. The Committee on
Elections of the House, after patient and
exhaustive examination declared, with but
one dissenting voice, that the Secretary of
State had no right to exclude the Galloway
vote, and that SwitZler was entitled to
the seat held by Anderson. The report
was made toward the close of the last adj
| iourned session but the House decided to
postpone consideration of the matter in
order to give Anderson an opportunity to
| prove the disloyalty of Switzler. The
other day the committee again reported,
declaring that the charge of disloyalty
was not sustained, and that Switzler was
entitled to the seat.
There is probably not member Of the
House who has looked into this question
that does not know that SwitZler is the
only person legally qualified to represent
the Ninth Missouri District. The vote OF
yesterday, therefore, may be added to the
other cases in which Congress has, from
purely partisan motives, reversed the will
and wish of the people.-Missouri Repub

Gen. Grant ms SITS upon a rep al of

that such repeal is necessary to put an end

lent reason in itself. but must prove decid-
edly weak in its influence upon the present
Congress.
-George Opdyke and other leading
capitalists of New York, in their protest to
Congress against railroa5 subsidies, say
1t is undOubt dly true there never las
been time in this country ' hen official
corruption in all departments of the Gov
eminent prevailed to so great an extent as
now, and was as defiant of the penalties OF
the law and of public opinion. Indeed, il
threatens to SO debauch public opinion
that betrayal of official trust will be re.
garded as an evidence of business tact
rather than q crime"
The Republican newspapers in
New York are earnest and busy, and no,
a few of them very bitter, in discussing
the question of whether the election OF
Governor Fent0n as United States Sena
tor ought to be contested on the ground
that it was procured by bribery and other
corrupt measures. The friends of the
Governor do not attempt to deny that he
| employed bribery. They say that his
opponent, Senator Morgan, did the same
thing. They say, moreover, that, if al
men in Congress who were elected by
corrupt agencies are to be turned out, il
will be doubtful if a quorum remain
Probably this is true. But does it there
fore, follow that Congress can take nc
action for the exclusion of men whose
elections were obtained by corruption
Is the number of such characters in Con
gress to be assigned as a reason for one
addition to them? Such seems to be Rad
ical logic

How to Render Sandy Land Compact.

WE have often seen it advised to plow
sandy land shallow, because the soil was
already too loose to allow the roots of the
plants to gain sufficient hold. On the
other hand, it is recommended to subsoil
clayey land for the purpose of rendering
it lighter. At first thought it would seem
as if this advice was correct, but does 1t
accord with our experience? Is 1t true
that land is rendered less compact by
working it, and working it deeply? Have
we not all seen that soil dug out of drain
or pit and then thrown back, though it
more than filled the place from which it
was taken at first, finally failed to fill the
excavation from which it was taken? Who
| has not noticed the sunken graves in the
burial-yard of their neghborhOOd? They
| were rounded once, what has caused the
present depression 1t is hard to answer
| all the questions understandingly, but we
all are witnesses to the truth Of the state
| ment Every railroad engineer and con-
| tractor knows that an embankment built
| from earth taken from hill does not,
| after it has become settled, contain as
many cubic yards Of earth as the cut from
] which it was tax n would indicate. Some
new arrangement of the particles or some
other cause has occasioned this compress
i
"shrinkage."
Now what takes place on large scale
in roadmaking, occurs on small scale IN
blowing or otherwise working lard for
the purpose of getting in o crop. The
shrinkage is exactly in proportion to the
depth VIC go below the surface. In view
of this fact shall we pillow clayey lands
deep for the purpose of making them per
manently mellow? We think not. But
we do think it would be advisable to not
only pillow deep, but to subsoil sandy
lands, for the purpose of rendering them
more compact. The quality Of the soil of
clayey lands may be improved by bring
ing the portions that lie deep to the sur
face, where they will be acted on by the
air, frost and perhaps heat; but unless
some such foreign substances as sand or
vegetable matter be incorporated with it,
it will in a short time be more compact
than it was before it was distributed.
| On the other hand advantage will doubt
less come from blowing sandy land as
deeply as possible. Where the object is
to prepare the soil for hay field Or per
manent pasture, it is not improbable that
by means of deep blowing, we break up
the somewhat regular strata OF sand OF
different sizes and mingle one with the
other, thereby causing the whole mass tC
occupy less space than before, the same as
we can pack a given amount Of shot o.
different sizes together closer by mingline
the different sizes, than we can by placing
them in regular LAYERS according to theil
siZe-Prdi7ie Farmer.
