Draining Land.

lFrom Walks and Talks on the Farm"
in -4mericam Agricuhurist.
There are very few people who know
how to drain low land where there is
apparently little fall, and yet it is one of
the simplest things in the world. In clean
ing out an old creek or natural ditch, we
must of course commence at the lowest
point and work up stream. Then dig deep
enough to leave the water OH dead level.
In digging open bitches from the main
stream up into the land adj jacent. commence
at the main stream, and work up through
the lowest parts of the land and dig deep
enough to make the acater ,folloac you from tie
stream up into the land. In this way you
are sure of losing no fall. When properly
done there will be no shoveling of loose
earth. Let the spade be thrust down an
inch Or two below the level of the water in
the completed ditch, and the few crumbs
of earth that fall from the spade will settle
to the bottom of the ditch in the water,
and do no harm. but you are making
the water run the wrong way. We want
to get the water out of the land. not to
bring the water from the stream up into
the land True, but wait until the next
rain comes, and then you will see the wat,
run docn this ditch with a rapidity that
will astonish you. The bottom o. the
ditch is on dead level, but as soon as the
rain raises the water at the upper end it
will begin to flow down the stream and
will not stop as long as there is any water
on the land. l have dug a good many
bitches in this way, and am sure that it is
not only the best but the cheapest method.
No matter how dry the land is, you have
always water to level by and need never go
an inch deeper than is necessary, nor ever
feel uncertain whether you are deep enough.
There is no after shoveling. You get all
the fall there is, and when tie work is
finished there is nothing more to be done.
\ great deal of ditching is done on low
land that is comparatively useless from
neglccting to observe this simple rule.

prompt it to range the fields, glens and
meadows selecting its own food, drink,
and resting places, its own rubbing posts,
shades and shelters. But, being civilized
and under the care of civilized man; its
naturally wild habits are changed f,r those
of civilization; it is i'll a manner dependent
on its owner to supply its wants; and if Il G
owner understands his own interest he will
duly study and supply them.
Food must he supplied regularly and at
regular intervals; it NJ, st be in sufficient
quantity and that only-none to waste; it
must he pure and healthy-not damaged
by mould or otherwise; it must be properly
prepared by cutting, cooking &c, it must
be fed in a manager, tub Or bucket-not on
the bare ground to be dirtied and wasted.
Drink of pure clean alter must be offered
at least three times a day, in sufficien t
quantity, in clean trough, tub or bucket.
The animals skin must be kept clean by
currying, brushing and rubbing. 1t must
have a clean place to stand and lie down
on; it should have exercise in the open air

NEWS FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
GERMAN Enthusiasm Unnbnted.

LONDON, August yesterdays dis
patches from Saarbrucl report no impor-
tant operations along the entire line.
A large body of French are moving on
Forbach.
The war news this morning is meagre
and unimportant
The London journals appear this morn
ing without word from the rival armies
on tho Rhine.
The impression prevails that the arrival
of the French fleet in the Baltic alone pre-
vented Prussian advance through France
to Paris fa.#
Advices from Prussian sources mention
the prevalence throughout Germany of un
wavering assurance of ultimate victory.
Adyices from Prussian sources say that
many encounters with scouting parties
occur along the Rhine.
Serious apprehensions of famine on
the Rhine are felt.
this connection that, to avoid impoverish-
ing the scene of war, Napoleon draws his
subsistence from distant points by rail.
The Times this morning has q long edi-
torial on the prospect. The writer thinks
the delay in military movements on both
sides is to be ascribed to the generalization
of troops from having been moved by rail.
The French are also delayed on account
of the hesitation of the South German
States, and are now necessarily confined to
the narrow ground of the Saar valley. In
| fact, the entire preconceived plans of the
| Emperor have been altered by unforeseen
| circumstances of this sort, and has acted,
| probably, to form new ones.
The Times argues that the arm of the
French, the chassepot, on account of its
| fouling speedily, will be found to be infin-
| itely less efficient than the needle gun, and
the difference in this respect will probably
be sufficient TO govern the result of the
war. ~ ~ h#& ~ " aE

The Democrats and the War.

Are the Democratic leaders determined
that the Republicans shall carry the next
House of Representatives Ifnot, why
are they doing their best to drive the en-
tire German vote away from the Demo-
cratic party? The Irish undoubtedly SYM
pathiZe with France to the pending Eu-
ropean war. But let the Democratic party
pursue such course as il may please on
any subject whatever, and it will not alien
ate from it 10000 Irishmen in the entire
country who would otherwise vote for its
ticket.
The Germans are swayed by the strong
est of impulses in this war-love for their
fatherland. They detest France, and have
no friendship for those politicians in the
United States who incline to the Bona
parte side of the conflict. The drift of the
DEMOCRATIC press, and especially in this
section ofthe. Union, is against Prussia.
If the Democracy succeed in repelling the
great body ofthe GermanvOtersfrom them,
it will certainly carry Connecticut and
New Jersey over to the Republicans, put to
hazard Democratic ascendency in New
York, and leave that party a meagre fol-
lowing in all the Central and Western
States.
BY stumbling over the Africans the
Democrats lost the House of Representa-
tives in the last five Congresses. Do they
intend to lose the next House by stumbling
over the Germans We presume the Re-
publicans will not object, but will rather
say to their antagonists, Make your
game, gentlemen n'-Nc1O York SIN.

The Sympathies of Americans.

The peculiar feature OF this is that the
whole Democratic English press of Ameri-
ca take firm ground in favor of France,
while, on the other hand, the Republican
press give the most enthusiastic sympathy
for Germany. These facts show the re-
spective feelings OF these two political par
ties of America towards the Germans and
doubtless has had the effect of opening the
eyes of the German Democrats, who have
hitherto been blind i'm rcgdld to the true
feelings of their party towards then.-
