TIE NOVEMBER ELECTION,
Greeiey's Defeat Certain. Even II lie Car.
ries All the Doubtful Stntes.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Pennsylvania, 1t ID now pretty generally adj
mitted on all hands, ID certain to give its cleo
toral vote to the Republican candidates in
November, whatever may happen to part of
the ticket III October Neither Mr.. Greeley
nor his friends claim the State in their private
calculations. Indeed, the indications are,
owing to the very marked disaffection Of the
Democracy, that Grant and Wilson will have
larger majority here than did Grant and Col
fax in 1868. Indiana regularly votes with
PENNSYLVANIA in all Presidential contests and
though it gave a small Democratic majority,
amounting to 2.56S. at the election of 1870, it
may be confidently set down for Grant. In
1868 the electoral vote of Indiana was given
10 Grant by large ma ority notwithstanding
that 1t went Democratic In the preceding Octo-
Der election.
The following States cast Democratic major
tiles at the last elections Alabama, Delaware.
Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri,, Nevada, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas.
Virginia, and West Virginia. Giving to Gree
lev the electoral vote Of all these except In
diana. and also that Of New York, which the
Democrats are toleraby sure to regain. and
then adding TO the Greeley column the six
States of Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Hampshire,
which, though they went Republican N their
last elections. NAV be considered doubtful, the
Electoral College would stand thus:

But the six Republican States which we have
granted may possibly be carried by the coali-
ton are not a whit more doubtful than the
four at present Democratic States OF Alabama

small percentage of the Democrats refuse to

Thus, even if we concede to Greeley all the
really doubtful States, which, added to those
reasonably sure for him, include the entire
South with the exception of the Carolinas and
Florida, he would have only lSl electoral

Grating.


The process Of grating is so simple that it
would seem as though every intelligent farmer
might perform the operation; but as they do not
do it with success, will give, through the col
umns of the Rural, my method of cleft grating.
The scOns may be cut in any time in winter or
or spring, when not frozen, and kept in damp
sand or saw-dust, each kind being labeled OF
they may be cut directly from the trees until the
buds burst. The grating season for the apple
and pear, is from the middle of April until bios
soming time if the buds are kept latent. Stone
fruits may be put in from the 22d of March until
the middle of April, in this latitude. The stock
upon which you wish to insert the
scion should be sawed square from both sides, to
prevent splitting. Then cleave it carefully (not
with a very thick knifer and put in two thick
sciOns, between the bark and wood, for there is
where the sap rises, and draw the wedge which
held the stock by gently working it. Spread the
scion at the top little that they will cross
the line of sap somewhere; insert them about
an inch deep, cover the ends of the stock and
scions and cleft with enough cement to exclude
all the air and rain. ! use the following recipe

have had good success with the above re-
cipe, and method of grating, for several years,
and it is to aid beginners, not experienced hands,
that write, although many who have had ex-
perience sometimes fail, because they let the
scions get too dry or keep them too wet, and
consequently set to many dead scions. press
the cement down once in two or three weeks, un-
til the scions begin to grow; they generally live
and do well. Farmers, try it, and soon you will
not hire your grating done.

We have heretofore noticed the fine evergreen

Barry of Rochester, On on q recent visit to their
place one Of these screens presented CO. fine an

feet high, four feet thick at the bottom, and run

screen, extending around . garden, would pro-
tect it from cold blasts, and probably be equal
to two or three degrees of latitude in softening
the severity of climate. The Norway Spruce like
the Hemlock, grows well in the shade, and this
screen seemed nearly solid mass of verdue
throughout its interior. The Hemlock screens
presented the same appearance when examined
inside. But the Arbor, Vita, Buckthom, &C.,

They should never be allowed to waver nor de.
cline, and their recovery is more expensive than
their continual advance. An animal fel heavyy
one day and light another, becomes big-bellied
and great eater. Regularity is indispensable
to success. The cattle thus know what to ex-
pect, and do not fret over deferred hopes. Cattle
at five years old have all the bone and lean meat
possible, and have done growing They increase
after that in fat, which at first smoothly shoves
and juts over the muscles, and in the last stages
shapen projections. There is no profit in feeding
beyond this period. Comfoith is another re-
quisite in good management. Animals should
have a clean, soft bed. Cattle have been known
to lose their hoofs and become lame by standing
on manure. Heating manure induces fouls. The
Major does all his feeding by daylight, but likes
to feed well that his creatures will grunt over

Thinking of pies indispensble at any time of the
year, concluded to send some recipes for every
day use.
As the pumpkin pie is the cheapest of all pies,
and the season for them approaching, give a
mode of making an excellent pie of grated raw
pumpkins fol change, as it does not taste like a
stewed pie, which all know how to make. About
q teacupfnl of grated pumpkins; pint of good
milk; egg, little salt; large spoons sugar;
cinnamon, spice or nutmeg. Line the tin, and
bake until done. The remainder Of the pumpkin
can be cleaned cut and kent in cool pantry for
several days, and new pies baked each day if you
wish, with q little trouble.
All who have pumpkins in the fall ought to dry
some for the next summers use, and and the best
method know of is to stew PUMPKINS down very
dry, then spread it plates or tin, fnOt cold and
rusty, to dry; 1t can be dried in an oven, or in
the suu-just which Is most convenient. While
drying, cut it as you would apie, and turn it daily
until dried enough 1t should be spread about
an inch thick, and when dried. tied up in clean
bag and hung up 80 that moth or miller cannot
get in to injure it. When wanted soak over night
in warm milk and sift.
cheap pie can be made of rice. Every enc
ought to keep rice on hand all the time as it is
cheap and healthful food. One cupful, when
boiled in water with teacupful of salt until ten
der, will make cups of rice, this with sufficient
milk, teacnp Of sugar, eggs, and little sea-
soning will make pies in large tins, which are
good enough for those who have good appetite.
Wash your tea trays, with cold suds polish with
q little -four, and rub dry with cloth.

MoW - Prevent C0lAs.
If people were blessed with common sense and 4
little wholesome selfdenial, they might often e.
cape severe colds and fevers BY resolute means
adopted in season. correspondent of the Eras-
geist sends the following, giving an infallible re-
cipe for bad cold, If it is handled in time. Per
bsps some of our readers may have the courage
to try the experiment.
10 not as often as ouee year afflicted with Be-
we're cold, which ends in cough or catairh; and
Thousands there are who die every year of con-
sumption, brought on by taking cold. He, then,
who should discover certain and effectual rem
edy for this complaint, would be justly regarded
as one of the greatest benefactors Of the age The
writer does not profess to have discovered such .
remedy, but he wishes to attest the truth of the
following certain and efcctual expedient for pre-
venting a cold. cold cannot be easily cured,
but if il can be prevented, it is of no Importance
to know how it may be cured.
A bad cold, like measles, or humps, or other
similar ailmepts, will run its of about ten
days, in spite of what may be done for it, unless
remedial means are employed within forty-eight
hours of its inception. Many useful life may be
spared, to be increasingly useful by cuttings cold
of in the following safe but simple manner: On
the first day of taking cold, there is a very I'M
pleasant sensation of chillness. The moment you
observe this, go to ylf room, and stay there.
vent this chilly feollkg, even if it requires 100
degrees of Fahrenheit.
In addition t" thi: put your feet in water half
leg deep, as hot as you can bear it, adding hot
water from time to time for quarter Of an hour,
so that the water shall be hotter when you take
your feet out, than when you put them in. Then
dry them thoroughly, and put ON thick, warm
wooden stockings, even if it be summer-for sum-
mer colds are more dangerous-and for twenty
four hours eat not an atom of food, but drink as
largely a. yon desire of any kind Of warm teas,
and ct the end Of that time the cold will be entire
ly broken without any medicine whatever. Ell
cient as the above means are, not one in thou
sand attends to them; led on, rs most men are,
by the hope that cold will pass away itself.
Nevertheless, this article will now and then pass
under the eye of wise man who does not choose
to run the double risk of taking physic and dying
too.-Medicai Journal
The above expedient lisa severe one for epicures
and gluttons, but most persons will find it easier
to fast one day than to be sick fortnight. The
writer has usually found that fasting for three or
four meals is sufficient, but the whole remedy is
better than part.
Let those who are often afflicted with colds
ministers, students and consumptives generally,
cut ont the above directions and preserve them;
if faithfully followed, they will do you more good
than all the pulmonaries, cold cord,als, and other
hurtful nostrums, which now load your shelves.

In the Mobile (Ala.) Tribune, of recent date
DR.. E. P. Gains gives some interesting results OF
observations made chiefly in Europe. These, be
says, $50 70 show that, though there are some
persons with whom the preventative effects of vac
cinaton lasts long lifetime, it is safest for all
persons to be vaccinated whenever the disease
prevails in the neighborhood. If the system re-
tains the effects of prior vaccination, new one
will not take and, if it does take second or
third time this is proof that the system was liable
to smallpox in some form. Records of the Prus-
sian army show that, ont of about forty thousand
soldiers revaccinated, it took about one-tlird of
the cases; amongst Russian soldiers re-vaccinated
the number on which it had an effect second
time was about eighteen per cent, and of Danish
soldiers, more than one-half took the second time
individual cases have been known in which re-
vaccination at periods early as eighteen MONTHS
and three years, after the first operation took per-
fectly. Some persons, how ever, can never be re-
vaccinated. 1t is believed that vaccination once
perfectly performed has the effect of modifying
an attack Of smallpox at any stage of life And
it is contended that even after small ox has COM
menced vaccination will modify the disease.
Second attacks of smallpox are referred to, but
the mortality such cases does not appear to have
been as great ss In original attacks"
