The successful management OF .
farm, especially in this age OF pro.
gross, requires thought no less than
hard work. Something more needs
to be done than scatter the seed and
reap the harvest. What to plant, IN
order to be tolerably csrtain to ob.
tain good price for the product; in
what soil, - to quality and rotation
Of crops aud just when to cultivate,
and with what implements, TO secure
the best resulte,-all these things
need to be considered.

SOWING GaAss SEED. The Journal
OF Agriculture says: One Of the 6rst
things man should do when he com.
mences on new farm, is to keep al.
ways in reach, during March and
April, the seeds OF the tame grasses,
and wherever the farm stock make q
path, or wherever by other means the
native sod becomes weakened, or the
grass killed out, scatter tame grass
seed. This may be clover, timothy,
or blue grass, or the three combined,
and IN two or three years the tame
grasses will be scattered over your
prem,aes. On old farms this can be
practiced to much greater advantage,
as the bare spots are numerous, and
the seed will take we'll.

Education for Far~ers.

We take the following sensible re-
marks from the proceedings at re-
cent meeting Of the New York Farm
ers' Club:
J. Stanton Gould addressed the
club upon better educated farmers,
that OF men who have received spc-
cific education in science relating to
their business or profession There
is no use in attempting to disguise it;
there is an inability on the part Of
farmers to grasp common agricultu-
raj questions that underlie success
full agriculture and master them, due
entirely to this want Of knowledge.
He illustrated this assertion by say
ing that some time since he had oc-
casion to study the construction and
operation ofplows, but could not find
a single treatise that would convey
to the farmer an iota Of knowledge
concerning the science Of blowing or
the rules OF art necessary to be OBJ
served in the form and structure of
of this indispensable implement of till.
age. In turning filrrow- slice, three
distinct operations are performed,
tending to the disintegration Of the
soil-the object Of all culture. When
first raised, the particles Of the fur
row move upon each other in such
a way that the fssruw divides verti-
Fcally, - it were, into thin sheets;
when the slice tends still further, a
similar action takes place transversly
or horizontally; and finally when it
passes the spiral wing Of the mould
board, it is similarly divided in an
oblique direction, and the different
ratios Of motion thus given to the
particles cause them to move upon
each other, and ofcourse comminutes
the soil. He asserts that . plow
which did not combine in it the pow
er to perform just this integration
was not rightly constructed imple-
ment. So Of the value Of grasses.
In New York we have 126 varieties
Of grasses, and yet it would be diff
cult to find farmer who could name
10 Of them. Aud yet this ability to
distinguish grasses is important when
it is known that some of these have
many times the nutritivc value Of
others.
Few farmers can distinguish the
Meadow Fox-tail from Timothy; but
the latter is four times more valuable
than the former.

rHE sCHENCK CONTEST

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial writes, Nov. II !:
GAS great deal has been said of the
alleged intention of Gen. Schenck to con
test the election of Col. Lew. ID. Camp
bell, in the third Ohio district, it may be
well to state that the former, in a letter
to an official here, says he has no such in
tention or desire, and if contest is made
it will be by his friends, who insist upon
a Congressional investigation. Gen.
Schenck says he is satisfied the decision
of the Supreme Court of Ohio, excluding
the soldiers at the hospital at Dayton from
voting, will stand, as the court is COM
posed entirely of Republicans, who would
not decide against their own party If it
was not right to do SO. This soldier vote
is said to be the main ground upon which
it is proposed to contest the seat OF Col.
Campbell. 1t is also claimed by the
friends of Gen. Schenck that great frauds
were perpetrated by the Democrats. In
a letter recently received here from Col.
Campbell, he says he had q hard tight
the hardest he ever had, and was fairly
elected. He says he has abundant proof
to show that fraud was resorted to by the
Radicals, which will greatly overbalance
those alleged to have been committed by
the Democrats"
If Schenck believes, and we do not see
how he can believe otherwise, that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Ohio, ex-
Guiding the soldies at the asylum at Day
ton from voting, will stand, why does he
not peremptorily refuse the use of his
name in an appeal to partisan majority
in Congress to give him the seat to which
a majority of the voters of the district
would not elect him.

when he remarked:

The New York Bulletin reports an i'm
portant decision, involving the liability of
express companies, which mas just been
rendered iu the case Of Cochran VS.. the
Adams Express Company in New Yoik.
The facts of the case are briefly these:
The sum of S., 600 was committed to the
company to be taken to New Orleans.
The money was supposed to have been
put in the company's safe on board the
steamer 'sBio Bio," which was burned at
New Orleans before dischargiDg her
cargo. The safe was shown to have
been put into dry goods
box and properly shipped, but no
one could tell what had become of it after
it was taken on board, nor could the
divers who visited the vessel discover any
trace of it. The defense was based upon
the proviso of the contract by which the
company were relieved from responsible
ity for any loss unless 1t was proved to
have resulted from the fraud or negh-
gence of themselves or their agents.
Judge Cardozo, before whom the case
was first tried, held that although there
was no direct evidence of fraud, enough
had been proved to put upon the COM
pany the burden of proving that they
were not negligent. Judgment was ac-
cordingly given for the plaintiff, and this,
on appeal, the Supreme Court in General
Term has promptly affirmed. The cir
cumstances of the case are not extraord-
mary, and the judgment which is now
sustained is of importance as defining
more clearly the responsibility of express
companies for the safe transportation and
delivery of valuables committed to their

Total.
Here we have ell the States but two
Mississippi aud Texas-the one giving
seven electoral votes and the other six,
the seven being hardly more positively
good for the Republicans than the six for
the Democrats. 1t thus appears, then,
that from our latest elections the Presi-
Dental electoral vote of the United States
is Democratic. WhereupOn the Herald
moralizes as follows:
'Without having any decided preju-
dices in the matter, we must express our
convictions that things begin to look
rather squslly for the Republicans. They
seem to be in middle all over that part
of the country where they have hereto
fore ruled the roast exclusively. Dis
sensions have arisen in their ranks even
at their very hearthstones. The Evening
Post of this city assails the high tariff or
protection wing of the party with the
warmth of a decided opponent. The
Tribune retorts, and the temper of its re-
rlies shows that its high protection edi-
| tor has not recovered from the effects of
| his late disastrous defeat for Con-
gress. Senator Sumner, who has been
| the Jupiter Tonans of the party
for so long a time, seems to
have had another attack of soften
ing of the brain, so far, at least, as the
support he extends to the administration
is concerned. This may be attributed to
the treatment his friend Ambassador Mot
lev received, or it may be attributed to
| some other cause. At any rate it is evil
dent he is not the warm supporter of the
administration he once was. In many of
the Congressional districts in which cleo
tions have Just been held, ill-temper
amounting to rudeness and even to acts
| of violence have characterized the caucus
meetings of the Republicans. And it Is
safe to say that the bad feeling there en-
gendered has not been Modified by the re
| suits of the election.
SIN the meantime what do we find the
Democrats doing? In what sort Of battle
array do we find them after the smoke
has cleared away from the fields of Nov.
8? In answer to these questions we re-
1
table published in another column,
| giving an analysis of the vote at the
recent elections, and showing how the
Electoral Colleges viii stand in 1872,
provided the States named vote then as
they have voted already. 1t will be seen
by this table that in thirty-fve States the
Democrats have one hundred and fifty
four electoral votes, and the Republicans
one hundred and forty-eight, or six ma
| iority for the Democrats, with two States
| mississippi and Texas, which will prob
ably be equally balanced, not included.
Thus it will be seen that the Democrats
at this moment have actually-with the
big State of New York as q sure rallying
point-the inside track for sweeping
triumph at the next Presidential election
"a triumph that cannot possibly be
averted except by the restoration of
calmness, snd moderation, and wisdom to
the counsels of the Republican party"

By the new Constitution of Illinois the
number Of members elected to the House

10 40. This is an imitation of the nu-
merous Legislative Houses in New Eng

large assemblies are not so easily bought

and that they therefore legislate more hon
