men about the proper time to cut
wheat SO as to derive the greatest
amount Of profit from the crop
Some practical men think that it
should be rcaped several days before
it is fully ripe, as by this means all
danger from shedding will be avoid
ed; the grain will be bright, the
bran thin, flour of good quality, and
the straw well adapted for feeding
stock. The advocates of allowing
it to become fully ripe before cut
ting, assert that when grain is cut
before it is ripe a great shrinkage
takes place, and loss Of weight
is occasioned, and that, although
the bran may be thicker, the grain
is heavier than in the former case.
When cereal crop of any kind is
reaped before it is ripe it has to re-
main in the field, "under the wealth
en-" until the straw and grain are
dry enough to be housed or stacked.
In broken weather q standing crop
is in much safer condition than one
that has been reaped and not Sc
cured from the rain. A mean be-
tween extremes is generally the
best course to adopt. The best
time for reaping is when the crop
is SO near being ripe that it can be
taken from the field in a very short
time after being reaped.
CONTINUOUS GROWTH.
The most successful breeders of
horses, cattle, sheep or swine, know
from experience that although they
may possess the best breeding an
imals, they will not be successful
in producing superior stock if
continuous growth Of the young ami
mails is not kept up. In order to
begin in time at this indispensable
preparation for success, the brood
mares, cows, ewes, and sows are
most carefully and suitably fed
while with young, and as soon as
the young animals make their APP
pearancc, they are taken the great
est care of, the dams being suitably
fed while sucking, and when the
young ones are weancd they are not
to want for food or drink
a single hour. BY this means
rapid and continuous growth is kept
up, and the animals attain a large
size and heavy weight at an early
age. When breeding animals are
not properly fed and comfortably
sheltered in winter, the bad effect
Of such treatment is not confined to
their own want Of condition-it is
shared by their progeny, and can
never be remedicd. When young
stock are not we'll fed and comfort
ably sheltered in winter, their growth |
becomes stunted, and no subsequent
Of good treatment can re-
pair the damage. Young animals
may suffer from want of suitable
provender in summer and autumn
rs well as in winter, and when this
happens it stops continuous growth |
and prevents ultimate success in
The object of the breeder.

7ar of races, and as the blacks have not been

war Of races and as the blacks have not been
disposed to be the aggressors, they have begun
it themselves. 1t is the duty of Congress to
put down this unprovoked and bloody insur-
rection, on the part Of the whites, as promptly
and as efFectually as if it were an insurrectien
of the blacks. 1t is the duty of this Govern
ment TO protect all of its citizens. of whatever
complexion or nationality, in all of their rights.
Every citizen of the United States is entitled
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness !;
and if the Government cannot or will not pro-
tect them, then they have natural, inherent,
and instructive right to protect themselves.
" Selfpreseryation is the first law of nature"
The coIored people of the South are az
general rule, peaceable, law.abiding people,
af1able and inoffensive to the whites. They
have petitioned Congress to protect them from
the bloody and murderous bands of Ku Klux
that prowl over the South like wild beasts of
prey. If they are not protected, it cannot be
expected that they will stand still and be slain
like fatted oxen by the Ku-Klux, without max
ing brave and manly resistance.
1t is the right and the duty of every colored
man in the South, who is in the least exposed
to the Ku-KIux, to make his house his castle,
to fortify it as such, and to defend, even unto
death, himself, his wife, and his children.
Letthe bloody and cowardiy Ku- Klux villains
once understand this let some one of their
hellish khan be made to bite the dust every
time a raid is made on the colOred people, and
they will not be disposed to make so many as
they have made lately. Every colored man
should admire and initiate the noble example
and the cool and daring courage of Wiley
kimbro, of Murfreesboro', Rutherford county,
Tennessee This brave old man made his house
his castle, and nobly and bravely defended it;
saved his own life and the lives of all the rest
in the house shot and killed dead on the spot
a Ku-klux as he was forcibly entering his
house through the window. Three cheers for
the brave old hero, Would to God we had
hundred thousand more like him at the South.
The ku-Klux would then have very different
game to play. WV. j. HARDIN.

a (oi0red Public Man.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that among the most in
teresting contests for a seat in the present
Congress will be that of the Hon. James II
Harris. the we'll known coored leader of North
Carolina, who is contestant in the Raleigh
district, the certificate for which is held by the
Hon. Sion III. Rogers, formerly member of Con-
gress in lS54-'55, and during the rebellion in
the rebel army, until 1868 as lieutenant in the
4th North Carolina regiment, and afterwards
as colonel of the 47th regiment. He was then
elected as Attorney General of the State. His
disabilities not having been removed, Mr..
Harris claims an election on the ground of
being the only qualified candidate, and also
charges that he deprived of =, 600 votes by
intimidation and fraud. Harris is one of the
abest men of his race ;. he is q full-blooded
African in descent, is in the main selfeducated.
has travelled considerably, and lived for year
in Africa, MonrOvia, and Sierra Leone. He
was elected IN 1868 TO the State Cons titutional
Convention, and TO the State Senate in 1868
and 1869. He was delegate to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago, and was
one OF the committee that waited on General
Grant to notify him of the nomination He has

One of the darkest elements of power in
Tammany Hall is its power over the personal
liberty of every man, woman, and child on the
island of New York. Some weeks ago John
Fox, one of what is called the 50 Young Democ-
racy," and who had endeavored, by means of
a newspaper and other contrivanees, to beat
down Tammany, got into brawl with tavern
keeper who had "gone back" upon him. In
the twinkling of an eye Fox left the island and
came to Washington, where he staid in the
neighborhood Of two weeks, or until he could
compound with his antagonist. One of his
friends was asked why John did not go to New
York.
"Why," said the friend, they would rail-
road him to Sing Sing the same day he got
there. Nothing could save him

Standard Principles.

There should be STANDARD princi
pies in medicine as well as philosophy
Without a Zero" to start from, OF
a standard from which to calculate
the deviations, the principle and prac
tice of medicine, in fact the princi
piles of any art or science, cannot be
satisfactorily calculated or properly
understood.
The art and science of medicine is
divided into several special depart
ments, each having their standard
principles which form the basis for
their scientific calculations.
Every particular part of the human
body has had its average natural prop
critics, constituents. Quantities, &o.
reduced upon scientific principles to a
standard Of nearly definite proportions
in health:
This serves for the more correct
e%ltieidation of disease by comparison
and measurement OF the d~eviations
from the healthy standard. Thus the
average proportionate constituents of
the blood in health being reduced to
q standard, any considerable deviation
from this standard quality of the blood
is disease.
The same in the urinary excretion
the average natural proportionate con
stituents of the urine in health from
