FIGHTING IN THE FnTuRE.

1t seems that Colonel Lewis, the Gus
tomhouse candidate for Congressman at
large, is by no means satisfied with the
| political situation. He seems to think
| that there is no real division among the
white people Of the State, or, if any, it is
temporary and insignificant. In his
speech in reply to Governor Pinchback,
Friday night, he said that the campaign
was pregnant with grave events. He
called upon the colored people to remem-
Der 1865 and become united. "They
would have reason to regret their diyi-
sions. They are now defenseless. Their
guns have been turned over to the whites.
The only cheering prospect the Colonel
discovers in the gloomy future is the GER
tainty that Grant will interfere to assist
colored people. How or in what way he
does not indicate, but his satisfaction in
that certainty is as placid as noticeable
The suggestions of Colonel Lewis dis
close two facts: First, that he and his as
sociates are in favor of a black mans
party. Second that Grant favors such a
party in Louisiana and will give federal
assistance in opposition to the whites
We have so frequently expressed our
adherence of such a state of things that
it is scarcely necessary to reiterate our OPP
position to it now. 1t would be disastrous
alike to both races. AS the inevitable and
sure precursor of a war of races, it would
be the forerunner of scenes the horror of
which no pen can depict The theory of
Attenuation may be pleasant for the
colored people to contemplate, but it will
prove delusive in the end Their interests
and future good are so inextricably inter
woven with that of the whites, that it will
be fatal to the weaker when the separation
occurs. But in what essential particular
does the position of Mr.. Pinchback differ
from the implied position of Colonel
Lewis? Mr.. Pinchback has, by consent
ing to head the ticket of his party, made
an overt act in the direction Of Africaniza-
ton. He heads a black mans party
tVtAA41oV t44C pLALSl pres VI LlDGIdIISLLlJ 1lt-
publicanism and Democracy. He claims
that his race should elect him Governor
because he has African blood in his veins,
and assumes to be the first colored gentle
man in Louisiana, just as King Louis
claimed to be the first gentleman of
France"
Now, the position of these two gentle
men, from widely different standpoints in
political sense, points in the same direc-
ton. Their position leaves the impression
that they both favor negro .ascendency,
both are agreed in their exertions to assist
it. But what do they expect to gain by
it? Is it not just as absurd for the negroes
to make laws for the white man as would
be the attempt to deny to the colored
people their right to participate in the af-
fairs of government?
The true policy Of our people, without
distinction of color is to act in harmony,
and, if they differ at all, do it upon
political principle, and not upon ques-
ton Of race or color

SWINE IN THE BARN YARD.-The
plan Of allowing pigs to run in a large
open manure yard, and tread straw into
manure, answers better for young or
growing pigs than for those that are fat
tening. Neither is it incoa sistent with
tho best modern methods of making
and preserving manure; for while there
is not better understood fact in phyis-
oloSy than that animals must be kept
still and quiet during the process of fat
tcning, and must have their rambling
instincts restrained, yet with animals
which arc young and growing, very
different course must be adopted. If
msch confined they will get misshapen
and rickety, will lose the bloom of
health and vigor, and remain small in
size and tender in constitution. Exercise
is as necessary for them as it is for
horses, and the manure.heap in the
yard will be benefited by their roofing.
The odd corn will be picked up and the
ierInenting mass will form warm and
healthy bed, highly suited to the SOM
nolent habits of tho pig in Winter
Western Rurdl.

THE APPLICATION OF BONE DUST.
Why is it needful that bone dust
should,in some form or other, be added
to our soil, in order to keep it up TO its
full work in producing crops? The OBJ
vious answer is, that we must replace
what we have removed in the crops, or
animalspastured on the products of that
soil.
That much is carried entirely off the
farm may be thus shown: Every cow
whose milk is sent off the farm, should
give about two thousand five hundred
quarts ofmilk, which will contain about
sixteen pounds Of phosphate, which is
equivalent to thirty pounds of bone
dust. Each will produce calf, which
going off the farm, will take with it
twenty pounds of bone. From this we
see that, Independent of the loss from
the imperfect preservation of the ma.
nure and urine we take from the land
at least fifty pounds of bone material to
each COW, which in some form or other
must be replaced, or the land will lose
someof its fertility. 1t is this fact which
has given rise to the idea that milk dali
ry Is very hard on the land. Such is, an.
doubtly, the case. IL Is more exhaust.
ing than butter dairy, where the milk
all remains on the farm, and only the
butter is removed to the city.
There are other forms in which this
loss may be replaced, except the direct
application of bone dust, but that an
equivalent must be given for all that is
actually removed, no one will deny for
a moment.

How TO PRoDuCE LAYERs In
every lot of hens some will hr better
layers than other. Lot II, suppose va
start with six Houdans cock and w
hens Probably out ofthis five two may
lay thirty eggs per annum moro than
either of the other: their eggs should
be noticed and only these set. BY fol-
towing this for very few years very
great increase in egg production may
be attained. My attention was drawn
to this subject by friend having q
Brahma pullet, which laid nearly three
hundred eggs in one twelve month,
though valueless as fancy bird, and
the quality descended to several of her
progeny; and have since found other
instances which prove conclusively that
vast Improvement might easily be eff
fected IN nearly all our breeds were that
careful selection of brood stocks made
for this purpose which the fancer be-
slows on other objects. 1t is to be re-.
GREETED more is not done in this way,
and having more room than had, /
nope myself to make some experiments
In this direction shortly. L will say now
that am perfectly certain the unmber
ftwohundred eggs per.annum might be
attained in a few years with perfect ease
were the object Systematically sought;
and trust these few remarks may
arouse general attention to IL amongst
those who keep poultry for eggs only,
and who can easily do all that is neces-
sarry without any knowledge whatever
off'ncy points, or any attempt to breed
exhibition birds. L. WRIGHT.

SALT AND LIME VERSUS SMUT
Some years smut is very destructive to
the wheat crop and so much damage
was suffered few seasons past in Gen.
tral New York from this pest that the
question how to get rid of il became of
leading Importance. The farmers there
generally resorted to various Este eps,"
and sometimes they were made so strong
or so hot, that the seed wheat was it.
self destroyed. Finally, most of the
wheat growers settled upon salt and
lime as the best materials to use, in con-
nection with water, an d, as a matter of
fact, smut has passed away from among
those farmers who prepare their seed.
The process of treating the seed wheat,
as set forth in Tribune article by Mr..
George Geddes, is as follows: Place on
a floor about five bushels of seed wheat:
moisten it thoroughly by sprinkling on
1t brine just strong enough to bear up
hens egg then sift over, and shovel
into the pile all the freshly Stacked lime
that can be made to adhere to the ber-
ries without loading them so that they
will not pass Though the drill In SOW
ing. This swells The seed and increases
the bulk about oue.tenth, which must
be allowed for in setting the drill.
