HOurs for Farm Labor.

A paper on this subject was read a t a re-
cent meeting for discussion of the Bucks
County PENN Agricultural Society, by
w. G.. Blackfan. He thought ten hours
day fair allotment for farm hands, but
with the contingencies of weather this
could not always be exactly arranged, and
it is more, in his opinion, than is accom-
plished on the average. He offered the
following suggestion, which is worthy of
attention by others:
II do not see how this matter of farmers
working on time is ever to be brought
about We must make and prepare our
crops while the sun shines, and arrange
our work for dull days within our build
ings and if your hands work overtime,
give them leisure day, or half a day oc-
casionally, and let them know what it is
for. They will generally appreciate it,and
you will gain more than you will lose. II
will make them feel far greater inter
est in their work, which will be to your
advantage. This has been my arrange
ment with my hands, and / have never
heard them say anything about working
on timep

county, but in Sullivan not so heavy, but
he will carry the county. Gen. Cheatham
will get the vote of a chivalrous set of gen.
tlemen but they are vastly in the minority.
His speeches are generally about eight
minutes long and exceedingly weak at
that. The General may he good farmer
but he is failure as q speaker.
Mr.. Maynard carries the crowd wherev-
err he goes, and his speeches beyond ques-
ton are the very ablest of his life. His
speech to-day was one of the grandest ever
made by mortal man. He seemed to soar
above the ordinary flight of political
speeches; he dealt not in shoddy political
trickstering, but in the most eloquent and
impressive manner satisfied to- demonstra-
ton of every unprecedented mind, the fact
that the Republican party is the party of
progress and prosperity, and the only par
ty of the country to which a civil man
should give his support. His vindication
of the Republican party words fail utterly
to describe, and brilliant as his past life
has been, when he entered upon that vim
dication he eclipsed anything ever uttered
by him before. He spoke as if by in
spiration. For the first time the voters of
upper East Tennessee will get to show
their appreciation for Mr.. Maynard's life
of pure integrity. It does us good to vote
and work for so noble statesman and so
honest n gentleman, and we promise him
every Republican vote of the upper coun-
ties HENRY

The Congressional Canvass.
BRISTOL, TENN, Sept. 18th,

BRISTOL, TENN, Sept 25th, 1872.
EDITORS CHRoNICLE:-Yes terday at
this place, and at Jonesboro', the people
had the pleasure of hearing by far the
ablest political discourse ever had in East
Tennessee. Never in the history Of Ten
nessee politics, have the speech-gOers been
so edited. The old men Of the country
say the memorable campaigns Of Polk and
Jones were not equal in many respects to
the present. Mr.. johnson, for whom the
conservatives have the most unbounded
admiration, is making q series a speeches
equal in everything that makes the first
class specimens of eloquence, oratory and
composition. All persons Of all creeds or
name, are more thoroughly convinced
now than ever of the fact that Mr.. john
son is one of Americas most gifted sons.
He is much nearer Republican than we
can imagine he could get to be, after his
Wanton desertion of that party in sixty
five, and were ii not for his bitter
hatred Of Gen. Grant, and his great ego
tism as Frank Huntington would say, he
would, we believe, cease to proclaim him
self of the peoples party and at once
unite himself with the only party now in
existence, that is party from principle.
Mr.. Johnson's speeches are all in defense
OF his past life, and the way he does up the
rebel Is plain but not mild. Why, his sar-
casm, when speaking about the petty
despots that forced Tennessee out Of the
Union, Is really sublime. Mr.: Johnson

How to Treat q Horse.

-
Some English grooms at Saratoga are
teaching the Yankees" how to take care
of horse.
To-day l asked one of these, who has
spent twenty years in the stables of royal
ty, what be had to say about our Amer
lean way of taking care of a horse.
Why, sir" said he, you don't take
good care of your horses; you think you
do, but you don't"
"Why?" / asked.
Because, when a horse comes in all
wet with perspiration, you let him stand
in the stable and dry with all the dirt on.
In England we take the horse as he comes
in from the drive and sprinkle bloOd-warm
water all over him, from his head to his
feet. Then we scrape him down and blan-
ket him, rubbing his legs and face and dry
Thus, in an hour heis clean and dry, and
ready to take good feed, while with your
way he will stand and swelter for hours,
and finally dry, sticky and dirty. Our
horses never founder and never take cold.
We never use currycomb, You scratch
your horses too hard. The only care ne
cessary is TO have the water not very cold,
then battle them quick and blanket them
instantly, while you are rubbing their legs.

Patrons of Husbandry.
BY w. A. SIMPSON.


The ultimate object of this Order is to
promote mutual instruction and protec-
ton, to tighten labor by ditfusing a proper
knowledge of its aims and purposes, eX-
pand the mind by tracing the beautiful
laws the great Husbandman has establish
ed in the Universe, and to enlarge our
views of creative wisdom and power.
1t is evident to the most superficial OBJ
server, that successful efforts for the pro-
motion of general welfare can only be
secured by unity of action that unity of
action cannot be secured without disci-
pline, and that discipline cannot be en-
forced without organization, hence, the
patrons, 10y symbolized ritual, pleasing,
beautiful and appropriate, are bound to-
gether in mutual fraternity as with band
of iron, yet in its application it is as gen.
tie as that Of a silken thread that binds a
wreath of flowers.
The ritual Of the Order is designed II OF
only to charm the fancy, but to cultivate
and enlarge the mind and purify the
heart, being at the same time strictly
adapted to rural pursuits.
Ladies are admitted to full membership
as they work side by side with us in car
rying on the work Of the farm, and every
father, brother or husband well know that
where he can be accompanied by bis
daughter, sister or wife, that no lessons
will be inculcated but those Of purity and
truth.
By means Of this order, the farmers and
horticulturists of the United States, hith-
erto, as a class isolated, and as individuals,
like ship at sea without rudder chart or
compass may secure combined co-Opera-
ton for individual improvement and COM

prices, market and transportation also for
the purchase and exchange of stock, seeds,
plants, trees, farming implements, &C.,
without paying the profits and commits
sions of middle men and merchants.
There has been an increase of over 1000
Oranges in the last two years. The popu-
larity of the order among farmers-the
bone and sinew of the land-has far exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of the
founders of the Order. II is fast becoming
