LICE on CATTLEE. Very few farmers
have an idea of the immense cost of
wintering ice. A lousy animal will con-
sume about one-tourth more food than one
of the same size which is free from them,
and will lose flesh continually, hence no
stock keeper can afford to allow his ami
mails to be lousy, particularly as the rem
edy, certain one, IS SO simple ard mex
pensive. --s s-a 5 .-.-r.-rx
When any of the herd are found to be
infested with lice, apply the remedy at
once to the whole herd, for one lousy
animal will soon stock large number
The remedy is simply this: Apply dry
wood-ashes to the animal from head to
tail. Tie most convenient mode of apli-
cation known to the writer is, to attach a
light wooden hoop seive about eighteen
inches in diameter and four inches in
depth, with wire cloth bottom, with
meshes ahout an eighth of an inch to the
end of a light, tough pole, say ten feet in
length, and with it apply the ashes by sift-
ing it over the animal his entire length.
Two or three quarts are sufficient for one
application on large animal. IE 81
I have found the remedy most active
and efficient when applied it soon after
the animals were Thoroughly dry, after a
rain, that the ashes may not be washed off
by rain for several days after it is applied /;
but four or FIVE days after an application,
it is desirable to expose the animals to q
drenching warm rain. As soon as the
hair is dry, apply again and treat as be-
fore. = third application is generally
sufficient, and I have never known the
fourth to fail Four or six days should
intervene between the applications, as the
nits hatch in from five to eight days, ac-
cording to the position they occupy on
the animal.
The ashes of hard woods, those contain
ing most alkali, are best. The ashes Of
pine wood viii not destroy lice. r5. .
The stables should be thoroughly reno
waited. and the floor as well as the walls
whitewashed every time the ashes are
washed off by rain. until the Vermin are
thoroughly eradieated. z.g1 sH
No farmer can afford to feedIousy cattle
and cattle often lose condition from this
cause before the owner is aware of its ex
istance. Ohio Farmer. s rf-r

"The subject of tariff and internal
Taxation will necessarily receive your
attention. The revenues of the coun-
try are greater than the requirements,
and may with safety be reduced. But
as the funding. of debt at q four or a
foursand one-hhF pea; cent. rate WOULD
reduce the annual current expense
largely, thus, after funding, iustifying
a greater reduction of taxation than
would now be expedient, 1 suggest that
the postponement of this question. I'M
til the next meeting of Congress may
be advisable. HJ"rt ~
Of a general revision of the laws
regulating this subject, l recommend
the pOstponement for the present. 1
also suggest the renewal of the tax Oh
incomes, but at a reduced rate, say at
three. per cont, and this tax to expire
in three years. With the funding of
the national debt as here suggested, /
feel safe in saying the taxes and rev
enue from imports may be reduced
safely from sixty to eighty millions
per annum at once, and still further
reduced from year to year as the re
sources of the country are developed
The report of the Secretary of Treas
ury.siows the receipts of Government
for the fiscal year, ending June 3Oth,
1869, to be $37o,943, TAT, and the ex-
penditures, including interest, boun-
ties, &c, to be 1921 400, 597!"
Thus, while the WEST is being ridden
down by the tribute she is compelled
to pay the New England bondholders,

thens can be removed! Weare inclined
TO believe that, Mr.. GRANT, and his
followers, will hear a voice of thunder
from the West next year, if these op-
pressions are not modified or removed.
We leave readers, to judge the
balance of the Message, by that which
we have given them. 1t is scrappy,
disjointed, and evidently the work of
many hands. |

The Cincinnati Sunday Commercial

very heavy on them stepped into a
hack and told the hackman to drive

He would not drive to the door, sta

CLOSE: by, The bloods went into the
house, took a survey of the premises
and the occupants, and shortly return
ed to the hack. As they entered it
and ordered the driver to take them
back; to their hotel, they noticed a
policeman seated on the box. They
suspected nothing in this, however,
supposing that lie merely desired o
ride in their direction. In the course
of a few minutes the hack stopped;
they noticed that gratings, instead of
plate glass Oh NeilAouse, ~winked~at
them, and when the door was opened
the policeman held it and remarked {:

of Sullivan, Ashland County, was
burned to the ground, on Friday

The Factory ut the time of the fire
contained about six hundred cheese,
and all were burned with the excep-
ton of'about sixty saved. The loss
including building, machinery and
cheese, will not fall short. of $4,000,
with no insurance. The origin of the
fire remains a mystery, as there had
been no fire in the factory since the
day before. There is some 'surmises,
we understand, that it might have
been caused by an incendiary. The

MR., INGERsoLL OFFERS HIS BILL.

chance of passing. There is, howev-
err. a little quarrel between the Ways
and means Committee aud the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, and
General Garfield, the chairman of. the
latter, and indeed all the members of
the Committee, intend it shall be more
than a merely ornamental appendage
as it has been heretofore. The chair
man will endeavor to make a commit
tee of banking and currency, and de-
sires that all business relating thereto
shall be referred to it, instead of al
lowing the Ways and Means to swal-
low everything. Mr.. Gartield's COM
mittee is understood, however, to be
averse to increasing the legal tenders,
and Mr., Ingersoll did not want his
bill to die in committee, A motion
was made to table the bill, but the
house; refused by a vote of 81 to, 88.
A subsequent motion to refer the bill
to the Banking and Currency com
mittee was carried by SO to 81, and
so a test vote was had. The subject
attracted much interest. If the com
mittee fail to report the bill within a
reasonable time, MIR. Ingersoll will. be
