Mr. EDIToR:-I respectfully announce my
self candidate for the Legislature-say the
House of Delegates. AS TO my political prin-
cipes, [ presume it don't matter whether am
a Conservative or Radical and shall say moth
ing on that subject. The only question of IN
terest nova days is Reputation, and upon
that am all right. [ see that some of the
candidates in Rockingham are for repudiating
the State debt. So far SO good A candidate
in Highland goes for repudating all debts pub
lie and private, contracted before April 10th,
1865. That is step further in the right d.
rection. But neither the Rockingham lawyer
nor the Highland doctor has quite come up to
the mark yet. They are on the way however,
and hail them as fellow-workers. My doc
trine is, repudiate all debts and divide out the
property. Here is my neighbour, Maj. Jones.
who owns five hundred acres of good land
worth $25, 900. who don't want to pay his debts
amounting to $1,000, aud grumbles heavily a.
bout the taxes. Well now, is it right and fair
that neighbor Jones shall be relieved of his
debts aud taxes and hold on to all his land ?
[ say it amt, because when the law relieves
one it ought to relieve ALL have no debts to
be abolished, and [ want little farm badly -
By the way, [ am suspicious that my Highland
friend has some fat Crab Bottom acres, and
that's the reason his platform is SO short Ii

an equal division of property, and an even
start for US ALL There are of course no consti
tutional difficulties in the way. The people
who hold property to any amount worth speak
ing of are small minority, and if all the 9TH

Those like me, who owe no debts and hold no

Substitutes for Hay.

Something may yet be done to make
up for the expected deficiency in the
hay crop. The following suggestions in
this direction are urged upon the atten-
l. Fodder corn may be sown any time
during this month.
2. Turnips can be put in now, and
are are valuable auxiliary feeding
crop. If the present drought should
force farmers to SOW them to a larger
extent, great benefit would come of it.
8. On some land where very light
burden of grass is growing), it may be
advisable to pillow it under and SOW a
late crop of oats or rye to be cut as fod-
der. Should this be decided upon,
delay the sowing until rains take place.
4. Hungarian grass and millet are
good substitutes for hay. The same
course may be pursued with these crops
as with oats and rye, as mentioned
above. -Maine Farmer.

Treatment of Wounds i'm Horses and
Cattle. ..e..

Many permanent blemishes which
depreciate the value of horses might be
prevented by careful attention as soon
as the injury is inflicted. Broken skin
on the knee may sometimes, for want
of proper treatment, result in an ugly
scar which will reduce the selling value
of horse one fourth more. In farmers
stables horses are often permitted to get
loose, and the consequence is that some
morning the owner finds one of his ami
mails badly kicked. A wound made by
the sharpened calks of horseshoe in
winter-time is very ugly looking one,
and needs some little surgery to dress so
as to avert bad blemish and yet it
may be done by the use of such skill as
is at the command of any who can dress
cut on his own finger. In the first
place, whenever an injury is inflicted it
should be attended to at once, or with
as little delay as possible. If any dirt is
in the wound, it should be we'll cleansed
with a soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter. Then with proper needle Ia
curved surgeons needle should be used
and stout silk twist, pass as many
stitches through the edges of the
wound as will draw them, and hold
them together. These stitches should
not be made as in sewing cloth,
but the thread is to be passed through
the skin at points directly opposite to
each other. The two ends of the thread
should be tied into secure knot after
drawing the edges of the wound closely
together. If the edges are ragged, some
care must be exercised to bring the
corresponding parts into their proper
place. If swelling takes place, apply
cold water until it is reduced, and
avoid all irritating or spirituous applica-
tions unless they become necessary.
Nature will generally perform the cure
if assisted to make a proper start If
the wound should not seem inclined to
heal, and a stimulating application be-
come necessary, the following ointment
has been found of great benefit To
one pound of hogslard take quarter Of
a pint of spirits of turpentine and an
ounce of blue vitriol (sulphate of cop
per), powder the blue vitriol very fine,
melt the lard, and stir in the other in
gradients, until cool; apply sufficient
quantity to the wound. A healthy &C
ton will soon ensue.

When to Plant Fruit Trees.

AS practical tests are what we desire,
I will give you little story of my ex-
perience in tree planting. Last spring
planted three hundred fruit trees !;
dug holes four and half feet in diam
eter, and two feet deep, filing in about
the roots with top soil, and mulched
with straw. All the peaches died.
With the apples, cherries, pears, &C., |
was more successful, only losing about
three-fourths.
Last fall | planted out about four
hundred trees, with less care than /
gave those planted in the spring and
every one is now growing in fine condi-
ton. Hereafter | shall plant fruit trees
in the fall. | put out some two thou
sand deciduous and evergreen trees this
spring, and they are all doing well, so
far.-RansaS Farmer.
