A Misapprehension.

The Free Trader for January republishes an
article from the New York Ecening Post pre-
seuting list OF members of the 42i Congress,
together with a comparative estimate of the
number Of Protectiouists and of Revenue Reform
ers. In that list, which was also published by
the Toledo Blade, the member from this District
il placed in the s,me rank with W. ID. KELLEY,
d. J. MoRKLL and others of that class. Such a
classification, so far as this District and its rep
r.seutatativs Is concerned, exhibits a missppre-
state
1st. The question OF Protection did not enter
actively into the late Congressional contest in
this District, that is so far as the Republican
party was concerned Should il at any time be
m4de prominent question it will be found thai
the great mass Of the Republicans in this Dis
trict are in favor of tariff for the pasposss ol
reSenus only.
81. In regard to the position occupied by Hon
Z. d. PICK, on this question, we would state
that it is generally understood. by his friends in
this region, that his opinions on these matters ar,
in accordance with those advanced by HENRY
CLAY, which advocated the leYying ofthe hig'
est amount OF tariff consistent with the natio ma
revenue. The incidental protection thus afford
ell 70 special interests are of ample character
andcertainly should be satisfactorily received.
Previous to his elec ion we published the fac
that the Doctor took part ia the formation Of, it
stood squarely and fairly on, the platform o
principles adopted by the Republican State Con
vention, one Of the resolutions of which reads a:
follows:
ResoIced, That a Tariff for revenue is indis
p.nsible, and should be so adjusted as tn be the
least prejudcisl to the industrial and producing
interests of every class or section, while securing
10 the home producer fair competition agains
the foreign producer.
II will be found, we presume, that ne will
eheerfully cooperate in the enactment Of such
just measures as may tend to the general inter
,ss of the nation. and also promote the harmony
and future usefulness OF the Rep publican party
10 which end reform il the R,ottO.

The War in France.

News from the seat of war is Of neagre
character. Marching and counter marching,
and here and there an important skirmish, which
in IN aggregate turn in favor Of Prussia, present
the actual state OF things at the present moment.
Tn all these actions and movements, there is ev-
ideatly a far seeing and comprehensive policy
influencing each cambatant. Chastened, to some
extent, by their extraordinary reverses, the
French are less arrogant and self-conhdent, and
are now fighting for national existence. Ex-
hausted as the nation now is, and bleeding, as II
were at every pore, il is difficult to perceive any
chance for their successful resistance to the
large and thoroughly disciplined force Of Ger.

The bombardment Of Fort Avron, one OF the
powerful outposts of Paris, began on Wednes

doomed city are becoming mere scarce daily, SC
that famine is inevitable very shortly. Ever
now, notwithsta udiug the reports Of an ample
supply of provisions, the poorer class are eating
almost every class Of animals they can lay hands
on. The wild beasts and birds in their menag

Senator schurz,s Speech.

The late Missouri imbrsglio was recently ad-
~erted to in the Senate by CARL SEIZURE. one OF
the most prominent actors in that affair. From
the tenor Of his speech, which has been reported
in full by the Cincinnati Caz>tte we iud that the
popular sentiment in Missouri was generally in
favor Of removing all civil disabilities from tho Sc
late in rebellion, together with those who suf-
frred such penalties merely for expressing sym.
pathy in their behalf.
The so-called iron clad oath, the taking OF
w4iich Nas made imperative by many Of
ibe officials of Missouri, is a perfect model OF
arbitrary legislation, the evils of which were
,nade more ntolerable by the exercise of arbi-
trary official power in its administration.
In thus repudiatiug this inquistional process
at the earliest moment, Nr. scHURz and his as
sociates are entitled 10 the thanks of the Repub-
lisan party. ns policy viii be as successfully
sustained by the mass of republicans as by the
Senator himself in his argument before the Sen
sic.
In case like that Of the late rebellion, where
hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, have
been engaged, the policy Of clemency will ac-
e mplish more than coercion and prescription
We thersGrs hope that both, on national and
party grounds, that the largest measure Of mag
nanimily may prevail. Ifit does n,t the couse
auences which have resulted politically in Mis-
souri will prevail in the Southern States, and
with such auxiliaries as they eaay gather in the
North, the party upheld by them will ultimately
hold the reius OF government.
On these grounds we unite in the cry Of Ad-
vince Let the Republican party advance in

THE COLOR OF MULES.

In long exhaustive article on the
''mule," which it puts in the form of
review of book on that animal, pub
lished by Philadelphia house, the writer
says: .--r g-r
stColor has much to do with the value
of mule. The deepest colored of any
particular color are generally the best.
The white mule is the least hardy, though
an iron-gray is almost invariably ser
yiceable animal. Cream mules, with hair,
name and tail, all of the same color, are
frail but those with black name and tail,
striped legs, and black stripe across the
shoulders and the back, are more hardy
and more apt to resemble the jack than
mare. Pintos, or spotted mules, are the
least valuable of their race. F."
With regard to the practice of using
almost anything, whether it is easy for
the animal or otherwise, to attach it to
the load, the same writer gives these SEN
sible directions: ..... -
"Work animals should have every por,
ton of the harness fitting comfortably.
The bride and throat-latch should Eeither
be too short cor too tight, for one will
ruin the mouth and head, and the Other
the mind. The collar should be just long
enough to enable the driver to pass his
open hand easily through between it and
the wind-pipe; and if it pinches at all,
should be put in water over night, and {
few moments wearing the next morning
will give it the exact shape of the neck

START TIE PLOws.

Important advantages ale gained by
blowing stubble ground soon after the
crop is taken off. The weeds and siubble
viii decay very rapidly during the hol
weather. forming an excellent manure;
many weeds will be, prevented from ma
turing their seeds, and some seeds thai
have remained dormant in the soil will be
brought into condition to terminate, SO
that they may be killed by the frost or by
a later blowing. Another great adyan-
tage is, that fresh stratum OF SOIL Is
thrown to the surface to absorb the am
Inonia from the atmosphere, and to be
acted on by other gases floating in the air.
1t is maxim with the best farmers that
stirring soil enriches it, whether there be
growing crops upon it at the time or not
hence the plan of summer following.
Il stubble ground is plowed now rather
shallow ! and again little deeper about
the Goth of November, it would probably
produce la better crop of corn next year
than 1T would if it was left unplowed I'M
til spring and then fair coat of manure
applied. -.a-
We are aware thai the scattered grain is
of some. importance, and many farmers
commence fattening their hogs by turning
them into the. stubble field; but, with
proper care in harvesting, there will be
very little grain left on the ground to
justify, the delay of the plow. If, how
ever, poor machinery and careless work
men have been employed in the harvest,
q horse rake, working while the dew is
on, will soon gather up nearly all that is
of any value, and it may then be fed to
the hogs. IS ..-..............-
But if, as we suggest, the first blowing
be shallow, the hogs may be turned In,
and they will find a portion, at least, of
the grain that is plowed under, and enrich
the soil by roofing it over. What the
hogs do not obtain will grow and form
green crop to be plowed under in Septem-
Der. Xxx.
Owing 10 the dry weather which
sometimes prevails at the time and some
weeks after harvest, it may be difficult to |
adopt this plan in all its details; but it is
very seldom that the ground is baked
when the grain is cut, and if the pillow is
started Immediately, there win be no trou-
bic from drouth.-SL Louis Journal Of

and allowed to regain tOlerable growth
before being pastured, but if it is sec
ond year crop, and TO be cut for a second
or seed crop the same year, stock may be
allowed in it for two or three weeks after
haying,p before it is shut up. Is A dressing
of plaster or ashes, or superphosphate, at
the rate Of bushel per acre, given about
the first Dr. August, will be great help
towards making growth of second clover
crop. After crop of seed has been
taken from a field of. clover, it is seldom
worth cutting for hay again, so that i
is rarely done except where it is intended
to turn he land to pasturage, or break 1t
up the following season, as the clover
usually shows signs OF running out after
it has been SO severely taxed to produce a
seed crop. Clover seed at best is a very
troublesome and uncertain crop, rarely
yielding more than three bushels OF seed
to the acre, and costing nearly all 1t is
worth to obtain it. On farms where there
are number of grown-up boys, and very
little stock is kept, it may pay to cut
second crop of clover for the seed alone.
But the best farmers would rather buy
what seed they need than deprive their |
stock of so large an amount OF autumn
feed. h g 49,.
4 If it is cut for seed, it must get SO ripe
that the stalks are of little value as fodder
for stock, but when it is cut early and
cured properly for hay,a second crop OF
clover makes excellent fodder Tor cattle /
and sheep, and is much less exhausting to
the soil and the plants than if allowed to
ripen its sced.-Cd,,udG Farmer.

ORCHARDGRasS,

a correspondent of the st. Louis
Journal Of agriculture says that fol
years he grew orchard grass with red
clover. He sowed two bushels of orchard
grass seed and six quarts of clover to the
acre. His soil was gravelly clay, and
he cut year after year two crops in sea-
son, cutting just as the grasses were in
flower-for they flower together NOW
ing in the morning or forenoon; raking
and cooking in the afternoon; leaving it
two days in the cock, if the weather al
lowed, then opening out in the forenoon
and drawing it in the afternoon. No
animal COW, horse or sheep-au of
which he then had, but Would eat it raw
enously, and always picked the orchard
grass from the clover; if any was left in
the manager it was sure to be clover. A
correspondent of the Atlanta ga. } Plan
tation writes as follows: ..e
In the catalogue of grasses adapted to
che soil and climate of the South, both for
the meadow and pasture, this regard as
the most valuable for general cultivation
from the Potomac to the Gulf of Mexico.
1t withstands the frosts of our most rigo-
rous winters, and well endures the hot
and frequently very dry summers, yield
ing fair return for cultivation on mod
erately good soil, and a most abundant
yield on that if well manured. 1t furn-
ishes good pasturage during the winter
months, and if stock be removed from it
at the proper time in spring, it yields an
early and bountiful crop of choice hay in
May and June. So acceptable is the hay
to our best judge of good article, the
well fed and dainty horse, that if we
place in the rack before him mixture of
that from clover, timothy, herd grass,
blue grass and orchard grass, he will first
select the stems of the latter, supposing
all to have been cut at the proper stage
for curing into the best forage.
This is the ddctyliS glOnlerGtG of bo-
tanists, the cocks foot grass of English
farmers; in this country generally known
by the name above, because of its adsp-
tation to shady situations. This and blue
grass are especially important to US of the
South, for our forests are rapidly disap-
pearing, and we should utilize what are
left to US by clearing out their under
growth, not suffering the ak to ''hurl
their oaks, +" and by converting them into
woodland pastures for horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs
My opinion in favor of the grass is
based upon experience in its cultivation,
as well as observation of its growth by
others in the States of New York, Virgil
MIA, Tennessee and Georgia; and that
opinion is well corroborated by others.
John Washington, an eminent practical
farmer of Virginia, thus speaks of it:
SIT will supply horses with more hay and
grass in fall, winter, spring and summer,
than any other grass yet introduced into
Virginia. 1t is the only grass that grows
with us all the year round, except only
when the ground is frozen. 1t will grow
on any dry land, not excepting sand
bank. If you want lot always green
for an idle horse to run in, this will sup
ply ii; or green grass in winter for your
dairy now, this is the only grass that will
| furnish it. Try it on sand bank if you
can't do better"
