apple-trees. New land is certainly far
preferable to that which is old and par.

some thorough system of preparation
should be applied to them before being

pairing soils should be varied according TO
their nature, if naturally deep and rich,
then good deep blowing is all that will
be absolutely necessary. But those per
Sous who are about planting young or

may be gained by bestowing little extra
care at the start, and that trees in thor

vanccd in five years as those which re-

Alarming Colts When ShOeing.

No MAN of sense conversant with horses
will deny that where the generality of
them resist, fear, not vice, is the cause of
it. Fear, then, is the very first thing we
should do away with in the colt, and moth
ing but beginning with him from his in
fancy will do this.
We have frequently great deal Of trou-
bic in shoeing a colt the first time it is
done. How, in the name of common
sense, could We expect anything else? A
goose naturally chooses to stand on one
leg. We have had to do with some thou
sands of horses, but we must say We never
saw one voluntarily stand upon three, I'M
less in great agony with the fourth. The
actual fear of falling will make the colt re-
sist being held in, to him, an unnatural
position yet the animal is expected TO
allow smith to hold him by force in
position, for quarter of an hour togeth-
CT, that he never before stood in for min
ute in his life He perhaps kicks at this;
when, to reassure his fears, he probably
gets a stroke with the hammer. This Is
enough to make a horse troublesome to
shoe for life. Many horses hate
smiths; some VIII rot approach a
forge. This does not ,rocecd from the
Kindness they have received from such
men or in such places. Some horses
will not permit such a smith to come near
them in his smiths dress; put the groom's
stable dress on him, and the horse will al
low himself to be shod. Can anything
speak plainer? The animal does not re-
sist your wishes, or care about being shod;
he breads the smith, not the shooting.
Horses have no natural antipathy to
smiths or FORCES, but they have to ill
usage. a colt has no more natural oh
lection to permitting you to touch his
hind leg than his head; and if from the
first his hind legs were as often handled
as his neck, he would no more kick at
you for doing this, than he would bite or
strike at you for handling his fore-Quar
ters 1t is the novelty of any act that
alarms the young horse, rot the act itself.
Why is it that vicious horses seldom hurt
childrene They kick, bite or strike at
man, because man has i'll used them
children have not. Surely this shows
that vice is not the leading and natural
propensity of the animal The child has
probably never done anything to chal-
lenge the attachment of the animal; ne has
merely never done anything to injure him.
Even this the horse repays by gratitude
and confidence. What would he then not
do for those who would take very little
trouble to win his attachment and soo,he
his natural fear of man! .Anything that
nature has given him the power ito per
form or the instinct to comprehe nd

5. This accumulation, which is greatest
in the surface soil, is due to decaying
leaves dropped during the growth ofclover,
and to an abundance of roots, containing,
when dry, from ! Is 10 2 per cent. of nj
trogen.
6. The clover roots are stronger and
more numerous, and more leaves fall on
the ground when clover is grown for seed,
than when it is mown for hay; in conse-
quence, more nitrogen is left after clover
seed than after hay, which accounts for
wheat yielding better crop after clover
seed than after hay.
z. The development of roots being
checked when the produce, in a green
condition, is fed off by sheep, in all prob
ability leaves still less heterogeneous matter
in the soil than when clover is allowed to
get ripper, and is mown for hay-thus, no
doubt, accounting for the observation
made by practical men, that, notwith-
standing the return of the produce in the
sheep excrements, wheat is generally
stronger, and yields better, after clover
mown for hay, than when the clover is
fed off green by sheep.
s. The heterogeneous matter in the clover
remains, on their natural decay, are finally
transformed into nitrates, thus affOrding
continuous source of food on which
cereal crops specially delight to grow.
0. There is strong presumptive evidence
that the nitrogen which exists in the air
in the shape of ammonia and nitric acid,
and descends in these combinations with
the rain which falls on the ground, salts
fies, under ordinary circumstances, the re
quirements Of the clover crop. This crop
causes large accumulation of heterogeneous
oh m ba n
the soil into nitrates The atmosphere thus
furnishes heterogeneous food to the succeed
ing wheat indirectly, and, SO as to gay,
gratis.
TO- Glover not only provides abundance
of heterogeneous food, but delivers this food
in readily available form (as nitrates,
more gradually and continuously, and con
sequently, with more certainty of good
result, than such food can be applied tC
the land in the shape of nitrogenous
spring top-dressings.

But will Johnson accept the nomination
for Governor? Some have the very best
authority for saying that he viii, and 9TH
ers have equally good authority for say
ing that he won't. No one, however has
any authority for saying that he don't

satisfied that he will come home, be nom
mated, accept, and go to stirring up the
monkeys after the most approved style.
The people will go to hear him, regard
less of party, sex or color, and the result
will be, he will make converts from Radi-
calism. But will he convert enough to
elect him? From present indications he
will not. a majority Of 10000 is not

the past, all those who are entitled to Ger
tificates will no. be able to get them, that
is, when they are little doubtful If a
county is about to go for Johnson, despite
the franchise law, that county will be
snuffed out by the executive shutters,
which the law so wisely provides
for the purpose. II, alter all, the Radical

Lieut.. Brake in PrisGn-Dying by
Inches.

LIEUT.. BRNNE was tall, straight, and
a commanding looking parsonage when
in health, but his sutferIngs in prison have
been 50 intense that he cannot walk with
out the aid OF a crutch, and is, perhaps,
permanently disabled. His right foot is
much swollen from inflammatory rhcuma-
tism, disease he attributes to the una
voidable dampness OF the prison, and he
is indeed wreck of the man who entered
it nearly three years ago He is only 30
years OF age but says, with truthfulness
that is apparent in his looks, that since
his imprisonment he has grown old
faster than with the flight of years. He
is man Of mild and atiable manners and
agreeable conversation, and seems in his
bearing to have kept himself untainted
from the prison atmosphere about him.
A widowed mother and two young daugh-
tiers depend upon him for support, and he
expresses himself as anxious to be with
them. Efforts are being made to secure
his pardon at the hands of President John
son; but, il he is not pardoned, the
Constitution guara ntees him speedy trial,
and it is made the duty of the courts and
the government to see that this is not only
accorded to him, but insisted upon. Had
either of these things been done, that
wretched spectacle of a man, not convict
cd of any crime, compelled to be the daily
companion Of convicted felons, would not
now offend the nober instincts of the
American people. With a shattered con-
stitution and frame that is no longer the
subject of the will, be drags himself about
the prison and even finds il necessary to
appeal to the judgment of his visitor that
the report OF some newspapers that he has
lost his reason are untrue. That was sad
and painful record which the hand of the
story writer traced in the life OF Philip
Nolan, but here is man without coun-

The Righiful rower ever Suffrage.

did resolve that suffrage n loyal States
was wholly within the control of those
States respectively" it should not be held
TO have expressed the opinion that g the
power over suffrage ought to remain
where it was then lodged" In such an
Interpretation of the Chicago creed, the

it gives for its dissent is that, the Gov

Nevertheless, when ii was hung before a hot fire,
the tunes, which had been frozen in, thawed out,
to the amazement of all present. Just so the
human system, subjected TO injurious influences
during the Winter, sometimes give token of
the effect they have produced upon il, until the
moist atmosphere of Spring develops their fruits.
Many Spring diseases are the result of Winter

ments of the States the power to protect
their citizens from Federal tyranny To
give to either Government the authority
to supervise the acts of the other would
be to place it IN its power and make the
existence of the Government supervised
depend upon the discretion of the Gov
eminent supervising.
The Republican party, although an
anti-slavery party from the beginning has
always found it necessary to make distinct
professions of respect for the rights of the
States; and in its first platform-that
which was adopted at Pittsburgh, in 1854
it declared the true reason why the Gov
eminent of the United States should ab
sOrb none OF the powers reserved TO the
States, In the following terms:
The maintenance invioate of the rights of the
States Is essential to that balance OF power on
which the perfection and endurance of orr politi-
cal future depends.
The same words were repeated at the
Convention at Chicago, in 1860, which
nominated Mr.. Lincoln, and in 1868 the
same idea, especially applied TO the matter
OF suffrage, was repeated by the Conven-
ton which nominated General Grant :.
The question of suffrage in all the loyal Stat IS
properly belongs to the people of those States.
The question Of the rights Of the States
to regulate suffrage is, in fact. the ques-
ton whether the continuance of our form
of government depends upon tie preser-
walton Of the States or upon their de-
struction. If the States are TO be pre-
served, no proposition is more self-eyi-
dent than this: That they should be left
in full possession of all that is essential to
their independent existence The doctrine
of qualification is as untenable applied to
the laws of the States as applied to those
of the United States If the rules of JUS
tice and the doctrines of the Constitution
are properly observed, there will be 30
