Later Ia the season brood of chickens

The CarculIo Mastered.


THE Oaio Farmer of a recent date pub
fishes the following communication from
A. Messenger, of New London:
"For many years past, the curculio has
beenan almost unconquerable enemy to
the fruit grower; and not few have cut
down their plum trees as cumberers of
the ground, not receiving any returns
from them. have remaining few nice
trees-leit standing for ornament and
shade, and year after year these trees have
bloomed and set full, but in spite of every
effort, until the present season, not a
quart of fruit was received. While the
trees We're in full bloom, last spring, my
wife determined TO try an experiment
upon one Of them, which she did, and il
fesulted more faVorably than could have
been expected.

blossom, corn.meal was strewn over the
ground, beneath the branches, and the

Over Bearing.


OvER-cRoPPINa is the greatest evil of
the present day in fruit-growing. 1t
wrecks regularity of supply, lowers the
quality of the fruit, and pTematurely ex-
hausts the strength of the trees. Born of
greed and ignorance, it has been upheld
by custom, and supported by undiscrimi-
mating practice, until it has become well
nigh universal. therefore wish to raise,
as loudly as possible, on behalf of the
trees, the cry they have all along been
mutely urging: "Thin, thin our fruit r.
Alternate cropping is but one form of
that cry; showers of dropping young
fruit another; deformed fruit q third I;

weakness and death oyertaking the trees
in their youth fifth; while many more
mute expressions of opinion by trees
themselves upon this point might be
noted by q careful observer. believe
that crop of suckers springing up from
the root-stocks Of trees is but another
form of protest against over-cropping.
In effect the tree says, "YOu will burden
all my truit7bearing wood unmercifully.
You lesYel1o reserve of strength to come
back as a fresh stream of force, current
of quickening life to my constitution.
Very well, have revealed my will con.
corning this to you already in divers man

my own strength for my own need; win
throw out supports go close to my root
stock that you cannot exhaust them with

many of US had reckoned without its
host. The cultivator sees, condemns, and
slashes of the horrid suckers at once, and
this illegitimate source of strength is sud
denly drained dry. AS remedy for over
cropping, the suckers were good for the
life of its roots, though not for the we'll

most outrageous frauds at the polls, vio'
lating, systematically and with impunity,
the sacredness Of the lot-box-that
safeguard of Republican government
upon the purity Of which the existence Of
a free people depends. These frauds are
committed through what are called re-
peaters men who vote early and often.
The voting places in most parts of the
city being In the hands Of the Tammany
ring, these frauds are committed with i'm
punity, and thus thieves, cut.throats and
human blood-hounds carry New York
city elections against the legal voters, and
thus control, not only the politics of the
city, but also the politics of the
State. OF the $1,000 majority given for
Seymour in 1868, which carried the State
for that candidate, thirty thousand, at
least, were fraudulent. Had the electoral
vote of New York decided the contest be-
tween Grant and Seymour, the de-
cision of the honest majority of the people
OF the United States would have been
overruled by the thieves who are hired to
vote fraudulently by the New York De-
mocracy. This waas undoubtedly the OBJ
iect of the enormous frauds committed in
1858.
This becomes very serious question,
in which not only the people OF New
York, but the whole nation, are deeply
concerned. II this sort of thing is per-
mitted-nay, if it is even possible-how
long will our republican form of govern
ment lsstP If this business is to be con-
tinued and submitted to, we may soon
expect to see the National Government
pass into the hands Of class of men who
have, in New York city, reduced public
robbery and election frauds to science.
Mayor Hall demands that o new census
shall be taken under the authority of his
own scoundrelly administration. This
would not help his psrty's case an iota,
for every one knows that it would be just
as eesy for them to take a fraudulent cen
sus as it is to vote fraudulently. The New
York Tribune expresses its conviction that
the United States census has been fairly
and fully taken in that city, and such is
no doubt the fact Chicago Journal.

Keeping Manure Under Barns.

THERE is practice in vogue among
farmers to keep the manure of the cattle
in the barn cellar, directly under the place
where the cattle are stabbed. This prac-
tice Is very injurious to the cattle, and
should be abolished by all those who have
been in the habit of pursuing it. In the
first place, the manure taints the air,
wherever it comes in contact with it, and
consequently, as the air of the cellar can
not be prevented from circulating through
out the building, under which the cellar
is placed, it must necessarily have very
deleterious effect on the cattle stabbed
above; on the same principle that privy
or sink, placed Immediately under the
rooms occupied by family, would soon
cause sickness and disease TO appear
among them, for the general laws of
health, in most cases, apply as well to the
animal creation as the human race. Some
farmers, who are in the habit of keeping
their manure in their barn cellars, as
above stated, may argue that the manure
is kept in better condition than it would
be II left in the open air; admitting this
10 be a fact, will the gain in the fertilizing
qualities of the manure repay the loss in
the health and hardness of the cattle
stabbed above, saying nothing of the dam
age done 10 the hay, caused by perfumes
arising from belowf To show the injuri-
GUS effect to cattle, stabbed over manure
cellar, arising from noxious vapors that
are constantly passing up from below, if
you should take new and nicely painted
carriage, and place it in the same stable,
it will very soon show the effects arising
from the horse manure.underneath. Is it
not reasonable then to conclude, that cat
tie and horses kept in the same place and
under the same circumstances would
prove to be unhealthy Instead of using
barn cellars to keep manure in, sheds in
close proximity to the barn should be
built, or such arrangements made for
housing it, that it will be kept out from
under the barn.-RurdL American

Disclosures of the new York Census.

deputies severely, accusing them Of bay

poses. The total populaiion falls coDsid-
ersbly hel2M = million, Instesd on, as was
expected, exceeding that number. ....
But il IS not tli;. Disappointment that
Cisu.TLs tES Democratic hisyor and his
friends. The census developments have
convicted their political party of gTuss
rasCaiity, by demonstrating that ia the
Democratic strongholds the votes that
have been pollad at recent elections are
out OF all proportion to the actual popula,
tion. There Is whero the shoe pinches.
For eX2mple, the census enumeration in
one Ofstbe most infamous Democratic

ton ofOnly $40 persons, including men,
women and children, while the number of

trict the Democratic mGi0,Tty was almost
as large IS the ontire population, and in
many other districts the vote was from
five to one to two to one Of the popula-
tiOn.
In 1850, at the Presidential election,
New York city polled 95,583 votes. The
population At this time, according TO the
census, was $4,000. In 1864 The vote
was ll0 800, which, at ae rstio Of voters

was increased 70 16fD59, showing an in.

of 1,3s90OO. Now come in the census
takers in 1870, and the total population of
the city is shown TO be less than 800 600
II is to be remarked that the increased
