REASONS WHY THE BOND BILL
SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN.

REASONS WHY THE BOND BILL
SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN.
The bill for disposing Of tho Five
Hundred Thousand Acres Of Internal
improvement Lands by exchanging
them tor part Of the old Railroad
Bonds, has had q general discussion,
and the people doubtless understand
fully the points at issue. The cleo
ton will take place on Tuesday next,
the slss inst, and We will now but |
briefly refer to certain reasons Why We !
think the bill should be emphatically
voted down:
J 1t applies the lands to a purpose very
different from that for which they were
granted.
1t does not provide for taking up all
the bonds, but leaves portion still on
the market, fully endorsed by the action
Of the people, (should the bill pass) and
which would have to be paid, dollar for
dollar, with interest. It is nonsense to
suppose any bondholder would be will
ing to accept the refuse lands remain
ing, after the majority Of the bends had
been liquidated, when he could get tho
cash.
1t exempts the lands from taxation
for the term of ten years. This, of It.
self, is sufficient reason why tho bill
should be defeated.
The opinion is firmly held by some
Of tho ablest men in the State that the
railroad companies which received the
franchises Of the old companies, are
legally bound to pay these bonds. Let
this matter have time for further ex-
animation.
The above reasons are Of general
application. But there is still another
which must have great weight with
tho people in that part Of Minnesot.
north and west Of st. Cloud, viz. that
if this bill is adopted, this section viii
be called upon to furnish nearly guar
ter of million acres Of land Will
which to pay the debt. This is abou'
one.half Of the full amount. The out
rage is so manifest that We cannot SCI
how any man in Northern Minnesota
can withhold his strenuous opposition
to the scheme. When the just valu
ofths bonds is to be paid, let the bul
den fall equally on all, and not thrus
nearly one-half upon the people VIII
received not one dollar Of benefit trou
the debt.
The people Of Northern Minnesot
cannot afford to let this matter 90 b
defauls.: Other portions are at wor
in support Of the measure. The s.
Paul Chamber of Commences has aE
pointed a committee to attend to tn
getting out OF a full favorable vote nc
only in that city but elsewhere. Tick
cts ''for" the bill are being furnished i
all sections free Of charge. The poop
in the cities believe it for thei, loc
interest to compel the lands to pay thi
questionable debt. The farmers a,
to be the sufferers. If they do not pr
tect themselves, they cannot complain
they are taxed for ten years to enhane
the value of idle lacd beside them whic
spectators shall hold until its price b
increased tour-fold.
Go to the polls, and see that you
ticket reads: "Payment Of bonds wit
lands-No."

BRAN FOR HoRsEs-Dr. Mcclure,
V. S., says Horsemen have not yet
learned that most diseases of the horse are
characterized py weak or typhoid con-
didlon, and not by inhammatory action.
Hence, it is injurious to the horse to have
his bowels loosened or blood drawn, as he
requires tonics and stimulants, with sound
and substantial food. Unlock the bowels
of horse laboring under indammatory
disease even, and they will not stop until
death puts an end to his suherings- Feed
a healthy, grain horse for from two to four
days upon hay and bran, and the animal
will swell either upon the breast, along
the belly sheath or all four legs; and
sometimes all can be seen swollen, from
the facilitating and innutritious substance
called bran and yet it is expected and
believed, though never seen, that bran
mashes will prevent disease and cure the
sick, and that it is in every way adapted
to the horse, sick or well.
The analysis and microscoplcal examlna-
tons of bran now lies before me. made by
men, the world is pleased to call scientific
and competent and yet we are, after
twenty years well seasoned experience in
the feeding of horses, compelled to say
that if what is said by them of the nutrl-
tiousness of bran is true, it is then in such
combination as to render it unfit for food
to the horse, sick or well, idle or at work,
and he will soon sink from exhaustion if
bran enters largely into his daily allowance
of food. A little bran, with other and
more substantial articles, may be occasion
ally given, and not in sufficient quantity
to loosen the bowels, nor be counted to
the horse as equal to so much of other
food, for in doing SO you deceive yourself
and cheat the horse.

CONCERNING Cows AND CHURNING.
-Passmore Howard, of Delaware County,
Pa, asked: Does milk Of different cows
vary in length of time required to change
it to butter 2" Mr.. Lyman-"S. j.
Sharpless, of Philadelphia, makes the
splendid butter for which the Continental
Hotel is famed. He has made many ex-
periments, and finds that no two cows are
alike in the time in which their cream
turns to butter. He has churned the
cream of two good cows in the same mess.
One would turn to butter first. He took
that out, and, continuing to churn, a
second batch of butter was the result. he
is satisfied that butter is often thrown away
in buttermilk when the milk of different
cows is churned together, and says the
best way is to churn each cows milk by
itself till the characteristics of her milk are
well understood" Mr.. Fuller" The
milk of some cows seems entirely unsuited
to butter. For instance, once owned a
COW which yielded twenty -four quarts Of
milk per day, and to look at it you would
say it must be rich, but we could never
get more than four pounds of butter per
week. Afterward / changed, and got a
COW that on the same feed gave only hall
the quantity of milk and made twice the
quantity Of butter" Mr.. Curtis" There
is probably little doubt that the milk Of
certain cows is to great extent destitute
also of nutritive qualities. A neighbor Of
mine, in Saratoga County, had a COW
which couldn't even fatten her own calf,
and the poor thing pinned, and l am not
certain but that it died."

APPLE PoNACE AS A FERTILIZER
The refuse of cider-mills known as apple
pomace has accumulated in such quantities
the present season from the unusual amount
of cider made that its value as a fertilizer
has been called in question. On this sub
ject the editor of the New England Farmer
discusses as follows:
Applied in large quantities in its crude
state, apple-pomace is not unfrequentiy
fatal to vegetable life in consequence OF
the superabnndanou of acid (tartarlc)
which it contains. Elder bushes, and
bushes even more tenacious of life than
the elder, are often completely deadened
in a single season by covering the soil
around the roots by single layer of po-
mace four or five inches deep. But after
this acid is neutralized, by quick lime, it
becomes valuable manure, especially for
apple orchards, and is highly priced for
that purpose in France. Where lime can
not be easily or cheaply obtained, the
pomace may be deposited in some low
place where it will not be liable to wash
away, and what wood ashes is at hand
mixed with it, with five or six times the
amount of the pomace, Of old, well-drled
meadow-mnck. Let it lie at least year,
turning the mass over two or three times,
and few months before using, mix
load or two of barn manure by way OF
leaven, and you will have some good
manure.

The House of the RhinOceros.

During the leat of the day the rhi.
noceros withdrews in the thickest and
most retired part OF the jungle, where he
INDUCES in his siesta much after the
fashion of fat Berkshire hog. On the
outside of the jungle, the hunter will
probably perceive an opening well worn
by the feet Of these animals. Ii he fol-
lows it up, he will find the track gradual.
ly getting narrower and narrower the
further he penetrates into the jungle. 1t is
rather touchy work, for, as said, the pas
sage not only becomes narrower and mar.
rover, but the sides form an impenetrable
wall on either side, from the compact net.
work of the gigantic and formidable
oreepers that line them. Very little air
can penetrate, and the light is very dim,
so that great caution is required, for
should "rhino" be at home, he will be
sure to welcome his visitor with furious
charge, whose chance Of avoiding such a
reception, by deviating either to the right
or left is infnitesimally small. But let
suppose no such contingency to occur.
After proceeding some fifty or sixty yards
the hunter will find himself in the
"house" of the rhinoceros, which is always
situate in the very densest part of the
jungle. The dimensions of the "house"
may be twelve or fourteen feet
square, by about six in height.
Perfect cleanliness rules there; not
particle of dirt will be found in it.
Added to this, the rhinoceros has great
idea of comfort-in other words, of being
able TO enjoy good scratch. A conve-
nient bough will probably be seen to pro-
ject in an inviting manner, against which
our thick skinned friend delights to rub
himself. AS soon as the eyes Of the in
truder get accustomed to the dim, murky
light within, he will have the satisfaction
of seeing the impression of the rbinoceros'
burly carcass on the alluvial soil, showing
the place where he last lay. Had the
brute been sat home," and had the visit
or's step been noiseless and the wind ia
vorable, he might perchance even have
caught a glimpse of him as be lay fast
asleep on his side, blowing Ike wheezy

but whether it be used as "boudoir" for

is not sufficiently intimate to enable me
to speak with authority on topic SO in

STATIONS FOR COMMON LABOR
There are very few geldings in France.
The reason IS, the stations are not I'M
manageable, dangerous and vibious work
horses, but docile, obedient, easily man
and intelligent. There is nothing in the
nature of things to prevent our having the
advantage of the greater toughness,
strength, spirit, fearlessness, salty Tin being
too liable to take fright freedom from
disease, and longer serviceableness of the
stallion over the gelding, were it not that
we and our ancestors have so abused the
temper of the horse, that his progeny ex-
hibit, among the unaltered males, vicious
and treacherous tempers, such as make
them unsafe and unreliable as work horses,
even under the kindest and most uniform
treatment.
The English thoroughbreds, unexceled
for spirit, endurance, feetness and wind,
are the most vicious of all horses. They
came from the gentle, docile, affectionate
Arab, and it is only the training and abuse
of the English stable boys and grooms,
we verify believe, which have thus, in the
course of generations, ruined the temper of
the most noble of the breeds of horses. Its
blood is infused through all our common
stock, and to it we owe most of the char
acteristics for which we value our horses.
Where thoroughbreds have been bred for
generations under different treatment, as
under the handling of the negro grooms
and riders of the Southern States, their
tempers improve, and extraordinary ex-
hibitions of vice are rare among the stall
lions. The habit of using stations is fol-
lowed a great deal by French Canadians,
who send to this country so many of the
so-called "Kanuck" horses. These horses
are small, close-knit and powerful, and
when entire, tough beyond comparison.
Wherever we met with them, they are
praised for easy keeping qualities, great
endurance, and freedom from ordinary
ills, and are seldom complained of as
vicious.
/ Do we not, in our ordinary treatment,
sacrifice great part of the usefulness
and serviceableness of the horse. in render
ing him intractable, more liable to disease
and less intelligent and spirited Is il
not worth while to make experiments

BOXING AND MARKETING CHEESE. -
The sale of cheese Is affected to greater
or less degree by the manner in which it
is packed. The best mode is to use boxes
that are strong, smooth, and that are ex-
actly large enough to contain the cheese
Nail the bottom firmly into the hoop.
When the cheese is ready, put it into the
box and then shave the top of the box to
a level with the cheese, and if cover
shuts tight over the top, it will bear trans
portation however far, without injury, and
present much better appearance in the
market.

around the roots every fall before the snow
comes. This mixture tends not only to
keep the roots warm during winter, but
the saw dust, by partially decomposing,
furnishes a quantity of potash which is

Grape vines may be treated in similar
