The World appeals to the voters of the
Third Congress District Of Ohio to defeat Gen.
ROBERT ScHENcK when he comes before them
next fall for reelection as a member Of Congress.
We fear that this appeal will be in vain. AT the
election Of 1858 Gen. ScHEScK had majority Of
l,0G7 votes in the district. Since then the gen.
eral Republican strength has been much dmin-
ished by the failure Of Gen. GRASr's administra-
ton but, on the other hand, Gen. ScHKNcK has
succeeded in getting through Congress a law
which gives the right of suffrage to all disabled
soldiers living in Soldiers Homes OF these
there are about !, 200 in the city Of Dayton, and
they are all Republicans and will vote for ScHKscK
to man. Hitherto the law Of Ohio has not al
lowed them 10 vote but this restriction is now re.
moved by the passage of this oct of Congress.
We think this law, in itself perfectly just one,
puts Gen. ScHEScK's reelection beyond doubt

Mr.. MURAr HALsTEAD, editor OF the CSn-
cinndti Commercial, the leading journal of the
West, sails from this port to-day for q few
months vacation in Europe. His absence at this
time indicates that the approaching election in
Ohio interests him but moderately. We conclude,
accordingly, that he has no doubt Of the success
of Deacon RIcnARD SxIru In the Second District
of that State This district is now represented
by the Hon. Jon W. STEVENSON; but we believe
the Republicans think il will be more safe TO run
Deacon SMITH than to try their chance with
Srxyt~soS for another term. This being the case,
we are sure that if there were any doubt about
Deacon sMrH's election, Mr.. HAIsrEaD would stay
at homo to help him; for they have been much
associated together in the politics Of Ohio.
Deacon Smith is q Of ability and
piety, very good public speaker, and
naturally kind and honest lie has the
misfortune, however, 10 be associated IN
busness-he is editor Of q Republican news
paper-with some men who possess none of his
good qualities, and who frequently make him
responsible for malignity and falsehood that are
quite foreign TO his nature. For this reason we
are confident that 1t will be great relief to him
TO get into Congress, and to be removed from
these uncongenial associations. We shall be
! glad to hear Of Deacon SMIrn's nomination and
| election; but we confess that we should feel
more at ease about it II his friend Mr.. HALsrEAD
were TO remain at homo and assist him through
the difficulties OF the canvass especially that par
| of them which a church member like the Deacon
| is not 50 well fitted TO cope with.

PLANTING WHEAT.

On putting the seed in well, there is
known 20 be difference of several bush
els to the acre. A correspondent of the
Country Gentlemen says in England,
where the yield is from ten to twenty
bushels per acre more than here, the
wheat is drilled Immediately after rain,
and if the soil packs down firm and a
''dry settling" takes place, the prospect
of good crop is enhanced. On the light
soils sheep were driven in large flocks for
hours, regularly up and down across after
the planting, to give this desirable firmness
but as driving the flock tires and lessons the
flesh, rollers with pegs and some with
small iron wheels, are used to press down
the surface. This prevents slugs, wire.
worms, ETC., from getting about among
the roots, prevents any freezing out, and
the young plants certainly look healthier
and altogether more prosperous where
this treading or packing down is attended
to. The worst possible time to plant
autumn grain is considered to be when
the dust blows, while on the contrary, in
spring seeding barley, etc, a peck of
dust is said to be worth its weight in gold.

RAISE coon HOGS.

Hogs fill an important place in our plan
of mixed husbandry, because they will
convert into manure and pork much that
would otherwise be consumed. But few
farmers at the East raise as much pork as
they might with profit, and the markets
are supplied with Western pork. The
reason why is, they do not manage right
with their hogs. In the first place, there
is no use in feeding long, thin, slab
sided breed of pigs, even if they are given
to you. Get a good SOW of some first
rate breed, or else breed the best COM
mon SOW you can find to thoroughbred
boar and raise coed breeding sow.
Manage so as to have two filters, one
early in the season, and the other long
enough before winter to have them get
well agoing. Good pigs are always in
demand, and it is just as easy TO get six
or ten good pigs as the same number of
poor Tunts that will never fat And the
same amount of food fed to a goo pig
will make twice the expense III the
first cost of boar ar SOW, and one litter of
pigs will pay all the difference in ex-
pcnse between pure bred Chester, Suf-
folk, or Berkshire, and the lank specimen
ordinarily used in breeding.
What is the best breed! is a question
asked; but there are several so good that
it is difficult to answer Where The
'Chester White is known, no other
breed can compete with it. 1t is, accord
ding TO our notion, nearer perfection as a
hog than has ever before been arrived at.
Its outline is beautiful, its disposition
gentle, its habits quiet and contented-
not disposed to roam and fret, so that the
food it consumes goes 10 the formation of
flesh, and is not spent il running after
mischief. 1t is not gross feeder,
but like all other animals, requires its
food at regular intervals. Thus care and
attention is never lost on it. There is no
other breed enjoys better health. If kept
and promptly cared for until twelve or
fifteen months old, it will yield from five
to seven hundred pounds Of pork. What
other animal will yield so much in so
short a time, with so small a beginning,
with such small outlay of capital
The Berkshires are a smaller breed,
fatten well in proportion to their food,
and are excellent breeders. No one can
go amiss in purchasing Berkshire. The
Suffolks, ard the improved Prince Albert
Suffolk especially, are good. The Essex,
Cheshire, Leicester, and Polands are
much better than the emo breed" The
China is fit only for crossing with some
of the large course breeds. Such cross
improves the China in size and the larger
breeds in quality.
But in buying a SOW or boar for breed
ing, do not be satisfied with its being
called a Chester, or Suffolk, or Berk-
shire, (unless you buy of some RESPONSE
bic breeder,) but see for yourself that the
animal has the good points of the breed.
