The Aessaxo auA the Congress.

The aesSoSo 0u0 the C0nEReSs.
The Democrat Of last week appeared,
,groaniug over the late messageof Presi-
dent Grant, and letting out a three-quar-
ter column article ON the Congress.
Of the message there is "nothing about
it particularly brilliant or creditable,"
Jet it says in the same article that "a
good many Of the recommendations are
sound and sensible" and the "wicked.
est and meanest thing about the mes
sage is the recommendation that the
State of Georgia be remanded back to
a condition of rebellion" It is unkind
in President Grant not to please the
democracy. But somehow, the people
appear to admire the document. It
secms to have "the ring Of the true
metal; )" that they have confidence in
the government, and feel that we are
gradually, but surely, sailing on to bet.
ter things When you speak Of the
" finances and tariff as in the interests
of the bondholders, capitalists and bloat-
ed manufactures" and the message as
"opposed, in measure, to the interests
of the western farmer and laboring
people," you are only talking bum
.combe. You are simply throwing dirt
in your own eyes. Your speciality Of
great love for the poor man is simply
"you vote my ticket and I will blow
your horn" It amounts to no more
nor less. The constant harp that the
laboring people are enthralled, and can
only be rescued by the Democratic
party, is mere bosh, gotten up for no
good to the laboring class, for which
the democracy pretend to have 70 much
sympathy:
The names "Jacobin" and "revolu.
tionary," as used by the Democrat
towards the Congress, are simply borrow
Cd, They are not Of late origin. Since the
Democracy has lost power, they have
constantly beaped upon the peoples
representatives all manner Of epitaphs,
and the consolation Ks, they are falling
harmless. No doubt the Congress will
continue its labors, Notwithstanding
this latest effusion, and probably it will
compare favorobly, if not excel many
of the Democratic sessions we have
read of: Suffice it to say, that our
ncighbors' ideas Of political economy, il
limited, and since he wish the balance
Of the party has swallowed "that aw
full Niger" and discarded the repudia
ton notions 60 long entertained, and
entered on a-1ev life, there possibl,
may be some hope, Of reform. Ger
tainly thorc is room for it. Where tn

How to Make n Horses Bed.

If the ideas Of score Of farmers touching
the manner of making decent bed for a
horse could be written out doubtless the doc
ument would be a strange commentary upon
stable management and grooming. The best
for making bed for horse con-
fined in a stall are short straw, chat, saw
dust, or dry tau-bark.
if straw be long it will pay to run it
through fodder cutter that will cut it in
lengths of three inches. Then after remov-
ing all the droppings of the animals, let the
litter-whatcyer it is-be spread evenly over
the entire stall floor, not less than three
inches in depth This will not fail to make
a comfortable bed for weary animal, after
he has finished his evening feeding When
short machine straw is employed for bedding,
the first thing, which will always be found of
prime importance i,to remove the lroppings
from the stall. 1t may seem strange to
many grooms that we insist so strenuuusly
ON the removal Of the Accommodations of the
stall. But 1t is a practice with great many
farmers to clean their stalls only once week =;
and, in many instances, the part of the stall
round about the hind feet of the animal is
allowed to be filled with manure, and packed
down six inches in depth. No animal ear
/ lie down with any kind Of comfort while his
bed is so uneven. Let the droppings be re-
moved back beyond the feet eff the horse
every evening, if nothing more. Then, Will
a wooden-tincd stable fork shake the straw
to pieces and scatter it evenly over the stall
floor, not less than one foot deep. There il
nothing lost by using large quantity o
straw for bedding On the contrary, Their
will be much gained in two ways, viz, in tn
saving Of valuable liquid manure by absorp
} ton, and in aifording quiet rest for hors
} after having performed hard service. Mos
horses are exceedingly astidious about thei
8 beds; and unless a comfortable and clea
place has been prepared they will not Ii
3 down for several successive days. On tn
e contrary, if the bed be made as directed
r horses will lie down for many hours, whe
: they would otherwise have continued to stan
J until their limbs were so swollen and wear
e that they could keep on their feet no longer
o \ horse is very neat animal and he wi
G not lie down in filth, or on cold floor unles
s he is exceedingly weary.

Greasing Wagons.

This is Of more importance than wagon
owners imagine The following, from an uu-
known source says the Coachmaker's Magi-
zine, is valuable information on the subject
which we trust will be duly needed
Few people are aware that they do wagons
and carriages more injury by greasng too
plentiiully than in any other way A we'll
made vince. will endure constant wear from
ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount of
grease but if this matter is not attended to-,
they will be used up in five or six years.
Lard should never be used on wagon, for it
will penetrate the hub, and work its way out
around the lemons of the spokes, and spoil
the wheel. Tallow is the best lubricator for
wooden aXle-troes, and castor oil for iron-.
just grease enough should be applied to the
spindle Of wagon to give it a light coating
this is better than more, for the surplus put
ON will work out a; the ends, aud be forced
by the shoulder bands and nut-washer into the
hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil
an iron axle-tree first wipe the spindle clean
with "A cloth wet with spirits of turpentine,
and then applya few drops of castor oil near
the shoulder and end One teaspoonful is
sufficient for the whole
We would add that for journals on which
there is a heavy pressure it is q good plan to
mix with the oil some lampblack or common
SCOT. Powdered plumbago or black lead is
also employed for the same purpose.

Management of OrcIlnrds.

Henry II. Grape, of Michigan discussing
the management Of orchards in the Country
Gentleman, says 1t will he conceded, /
think that the ultimate value of an orchard
depends upon the healthy and vigorous growth
OF the trees while youug-unti, at least, their
habits of growth, etc. become fully deycl-
oped. As an apple tree can no more make
such growth without proper care aud treat
ment than any other plant, it becomes ques-
ton Of serious consideration what these should
be for an orchard Of stunted, dwaried aud
sickly trees upon farm, is not only an un-
slightly object, but valueless iucumbrance.
The better course of treatment for an or
chard of young trees, undoubtedly, is to Gull
tiyate the ground constantly with root crops
until they shall have attained q considerable
size, during which the fertility Of the soil
should not only be kept up but increased by
q liberal application Of manure. Where this
cannot be done, the next best method will be
to seed down the ground exclusively with
clover This will not make stir, compact
sward like fine grasses, so detrimental to the
growth Of young trees but will keep the land
open and porous, and will serve to enrich it.
When the clover shows Indications of
''ruuning out put in the pillow and turn IN.
der the sward The ground for one season
1t least, should then be cultivated with some
kind of root crop, to be followed again by
clover. But if this is not practicable, then
after being thoroughly plowed and worked
over, clover should again be sown upon it,
clover following clover.
In the meantime the ground Immediately
about the trees should be kept constant,
shaded and MANFRED to a distance equal, al
least, to the diameter Of the head Of the tree
and the further the better.
BY this course the land will yield fan
return in clover crops, and at the same tim,
will be constantly increasing in fertility; and
in few years the owner will find himself il
possession of an orchard Of healthy, vigorous
and well developed bearing trees,--not oDl,
one of the greatest ornaments to his farm
but source of employment, profit, and rea
wealth.
