Failed to Capture Him.

The Greeley men have been making Oil
gantic efforts to draw Charles O'Conor in
to their net so that the straight democrats
might not nominate him at Louisville.
They offered him the nomination for Gov
eraor of New York, and thought they had
him, but the following letter shows
they We're mistaken.
NEw-I0RK, Aug. "a.
MR.-:
DEAR SIR: l was and am in favor of the
louisville movement. Even the mere pro-
tession of adherence to democratic ideas mus
soon disappear it, without any marked dis
sent, the party can be transferred to its dead
lest of foes.
(Signed,) CHAs. O'CoNoR.
With O'Conor running as a candidate
for President by the straightouts, and Dix
as the republican candidate for Governor
of New York, the Greeley party in that
State would be ground so fine that
member of it could be found after cleo
ton.

BUT GOVERNOR PERHAM IS AS
SUE TO BE ELECTED AS THE
SUN IS TO RISE.

SUN Id ~ RIDE.
There is no person in the State. be he
democrat or republican,, of average
intelligence, who has doubt that Perham
will be elected. If elected then as he is sure
to be where is there even the shadow of
a possibility that voting against him can be
of any benefit to the person or persons
who are opposed to the cider law? We
take it that such republicans have not lost
their reason, and are not going to beat
their brains out because the demo-
cratic small beer politicians hold up
cider press before them and appeal to them
to commit the objectionable deed
Now having shown that voting against
Governor perham cannot affect the cider
law, even though votes enough were cast
against him to defeat his election, we ask
the attention of republicans to the fact
that
EVERY VOTE THROWN AGAINST
PERHAM is EQUAL TO TEN OR
TWENTY TINES THAT NUMBER OF
VOTES AGAINST GRANT AND WILL
son IN NOVEMBER.
Here is II fact that cannot be winkcd out
of sight. Here is the real meaning of the
moving appeals to vote against Perham.
We published the other day an article from
the New York Tribune urging the liberal
republicans to vote for kimball in Septem-
Der because, said that paper, vote for
Kimball in September will be worth TEN
or TWENTY for Greeley and Brown in
November. If this calculation of the Tri-
bune be true, and it undoubtedly is, then
vote for Perham in September is equal
to ten or twenty for Grant and Wilson in
November. republican then who cuts
Perham s name from his ticket does not in
jure Perham, does not in the least decree
do anything TO repeal or affect the cider
law in any way, but he does give twenty
times as much influence against Grant and
Wilson by the act as his vote in November
will be worth to them.
If there is a reasonable republican who
can consider the facts which we have

DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH
THE MAKING AND SELLING BY
FARMERS OF ALL THE CIDER
THEY CAN PRODUCE.
1t simply was intended to stop spurious
and intoxicating liquors being brought
into the State and sold under the name of
cider. That is all there is of it. Every
farmer in the State can make and sell all
the cider he pleases just the same as before
the law was passed. 1.-THE preventing ofthe
| importation from other States and retailing
of vile liquors under the name of cider
will in ure the man who owns apple
trees in this State and manufactures and
sells pure cider. we are not able to see it );
but it does seem to Us that the boot is on
the other leg, aud that our farmers have
the best OF it, because they have the whole
market secured to them
But the merits OF the law are OF no con-
sequence in this campaign. They do not
enter into it legitimately, and the law will
not be affected and cannot be affected by
the result Of the vote. Republicans are
urged to vote against Governor Perham
because he signed this law. What would
this amount to? Simply nothing as far as
the law is concerned. Every man of COM
mon sense can see that.
EVEN If REPUBLICAN VOTES ENOUGH
WERE THROWN AGAINST GOVERNOR PER
HAN TO DEFEAT HIM THAT WOULD MOI
DESTROY THE CIDER LAW.
1t would stand if Kimball were elected
He could not repeal it. He could no
move finger towards erasing it from the
statute book No Governor can repeal
law. Only the same power which mad
can unmakc it. How absurd then for
republican to vote against Perham becaus
of this law.

GRINDING TOOLS AND GRISD-
STONES.

1t is impossible to properly grind tools if
the stone is loose and wabbhng Oh its axle,
or if tight, from bad management the stone
has become lower on one side than on the
other. In order to grind q tool, or imple-
ment, properly, the stone must revolVe per-
fectly true on its periphery, or circumfer-
ence-as true as milestone, and how TO
manage this the Industrial Monthly says:
"The first step toward putting a stone in
proper order is TO measure from the center
or the eye to the periphery, on four sides,
for the purpose Of determining whether the
stone has been worn OF more on one 81 de
than on the other. When a stone
is driven by a treadle, a large part
of the grinding is done on one side
Of the stone when the treade is
going down. In such a case, the stone should
beiehmg with the journal nearer one side Of
the eye than the center of It. After it has
been hung as true as practicable, screw
down the caps of the clearinghouse so that
the journal will have no play; then, with
the end Of an old file turn small groove
near each edge of the periphery, after which
dress Off eac side with sharp cOld-chisel
an inch or more from the grinding surface.
Now fix a solid rest close to each side of
the stone, and dress Off the prominent
parts with sharp cold-chisel. Always cut
horizontally toward the middle of the stone
from each side, and thus avoid splitting
away large chips from the side of the periph
cry. Always use a light hammer or mallet
and a small half-inCh Chisel. With heavy
hammer and large chisel, there will be great
danger of chipping Off large piece Of the
stone beyond the mark. With light ham
mer and a small, sharp chisel, one can fit
up the periphery of a wabbliug grindstone,
in brief space of time, so that it viii re-
volve satisfactorily true"

else win supply the place. 1t gives sea
soning and finish to viands which is natural
| to them as butter is TO the bread or cream
to the coffee.
But the flesh of the pig may be injured, mo
doubt, by inj1dicious feeding, by exposure
or bad treatment. The flesh Of swine that
run in the woods, and feed upon roots, in
sects which they find, acorns and other
nuts, is strong and unpalatable. If fed
largely on flesh, brewers grains, or any
other stimulating food, the flesh may not
be so solid and pure as if fed upon dry
grains, meal, vegetables and young sweet
grass. The flesh of slaughtered OK will
give the faint of an onion which he ate
several hours before; so will the flesh OF
poultry be tainted by having access to hlthy
sewers and vaults.
Let all who raise pork, then, give the liv-
ing animals clean, and warm or cool places,
to which they can resort at will, so as TO
preserve in themselves an even, agreeable
and healthful Temperature at all times.
Let their meals be regular, always sufficient
to appease the cravings of hunger and to
promote a fair growth. Let them have the
light and the warm rays of the sun directly
upon them when they desire 1t, If possible.
Give them cool water and fresh vegetables
frequently, and, during the summer season,
as much short, sweet young grass as they
will eat. What is of the first importas &c,
also, is a clean, warm bed in cold weather;
one that can be darkened in hot weather,
SO that they can lie Undisturbed by flies.
But all this costs something. Certainly;
so does rearing colt, heifer, or steer; yet
it is found profitable to give them careful
attention, day by day, and many times in a
day. Is it any less so, to rear the pig pro-
perly, that it is to supply the family with SO
much healthful food, and that which is so
delicate and essential, to? 1t certainly is
not.-Neao England Farmer.

wHEAT.GRowING AND CLOVER

Jas. w. Hill, Of Resaca, Ga, in a COM
murication to the Calhoun Times gives his
experience in wheat-grOwing, from which
We extract as follows
81 Sowed last fall some five or six acres OF
upland, which had been, up to last October,
in clover for three years or more; and on
examining the wheat some five days since
| found the heads to average four inChas in
length. The height of the stalks will be
about three and a half feet on an average.
This wheat stands thick enough on the
ground in some places, and l think it will
yield between twenty and twenty-five bush
els per acre.
"My way Of sowing wheat was first TO
turn the land with 2 two-horSe plow, then
SOW the wheat and harrow it in with a
large iron tooth harrow. l then sowed one
acre Of the same quality Of land, put in the
ground as above stated, but before harrow
ing, put twenty-five or thirty wagon loads
of barn-yard manure, dripped ashes, etc,
on the land. This wheat is not so thick on
the land. neither is it as tall as the wheat on
the covered land, and think it will make
about fifteen bushels. The most of my
wheat was sOwn on river land, and is not
50 good as that On the covered land. lex.
pact an average of about sixteen bushels
per acre on nay river land.
81 give this statement that tie farmers
may see the difference between the amount
of wheat raised on clover land and that
raised on river bottom. l sincerely hope
the farmers in our country will SOW more
clover this next fall and winter than they
have done heretofore. Clover viii certain
ly enrich The lands better than any kind Of
manure that can be used"

QUALITY OF PORK INFLUENCED
HY FOOD.

A few weeks ago, in replying to some
questions Of a correspondent, we had oc-
casiOn 10 say something in favor of the use
of cool pork. This was done for two rea-
sons: first, because we do not believe that
the moderate use of good pork is unwhOle-
some; and secondly, because pork, in one
form or another, is an article e prime i'm
portance-we had almost said Indispensable
in the family of the farmer.
al this was said Of good pork--the flesh
and fat OF animals which were healthy
through life, having been properly fed on
nutritious, but not too highly stimulating
food, and flttened-nOt to obesity-and
chen slaughtered in a Clearly manner and
preserved with care. Bauish these produc-
lions from the farm, and the means OF
furnishing some Of the most acceptable, nu-
fritjous aud wholesome dishes will be gone.
The barrel OF sailed pork, and vegetables
from the garden, furnish the principal sup
plies OF the dinner table through most OF
the summer months, to thousands upon
Thousands Of New England families. Take
them away and thousands OF housewives
would be sorely puzzled TO furnish an in
viting feast to those daily awaiting their
welcome call.
There is nothing yet discovered that can
fill the place, in the cuisine department, of
good, sweet pork, fresh or sailed, or in ba-
con or snowy lard. Butter will not DO it,
even if it We're good butter: and that would
be an anomaly. There are some dishes
which must be seasoned with pork; nothing

FOR SALE
FARM AND GARDEN.
TO ESTIMATE THE WEIGHT OF
LIVE CATTLE.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry gives
the following rules, which win be found
useful to many of our readers: First,
see that the animal stands square; then,
with string take his circumference just
behind the shoulder-blade, and measure the
feet and inches-this is the girtb. Then
measure from the bone of the tail which
plumbs the line with the hinder part of the
bullock, and direct the string along the
back to the fore part of the shoulder blade,
and this will be the length. Then, work
the figures thus: Suppose girth of bullock
feet inches, length feet inches, which
multiplied together make 80 square super
fetal feet, and these, multiplied by 23-the
number of pounds allowed for each superb
cial foot of cattle measuring less than SeUen
and more than fire feet to girth-make 759
lbs. When the animal measures less than
nine and more than secen feet in girth,
81 is the number of pounds to be es-
timated for each superficial foot. And sup
pose a small animal 10 measure 2 feet in
girth and feet in length, these multiplied
together make 4 feet, which multiplied by
eleUen-the number of pounds allowed for
each square foot when the cattle measure
less than three feet in girth-make Al lbs.
Again, suppose a calf or sheep, etc., to
measure feet 6 inches in girth, and 3 feet
8 inches in length; that, multiplied together,
makes 10 square feet, land these multiplied by
16, the number of pounds allowed for cattle
measuring 5 and more than feet in girth,
make 256 lbs. The dimensions in girth
and length of the back Of cattle, sheep,
calves, and hogs, taken this way, are as ex-
act as is at all necessary for common COM
putation or valuation of stock, and will an
swer to the four quarters of the animal,
sinking the offa. A deduction must be
made for the animals half fat, of one pound
in twenty from those that are fat; and for
COW that has had calves, one pound must
be allowed in addition to the one for not
being fat, upon every twenty.
