Patrons Of Husbandry.

The farmers need new hopes and new encour-
agements. 1t is not the purpose of the organ
ization to legislate but to instruct and be in
structed, to confer together and learn the SEN
timents and feelings, the wishes and necessities
of those from different parts of the country, in
order that they may act intelligently through
their committees that will be appointed to dis
charge specific duties. The neryeless energies
of the farmers need governmental support: This
support can only be obtained by thorough and
efficient organizations. AS class, agricultu-
ralists get nothing. Their dearest rights are
often invaded, and their highest interests sac
rifced, because they are destitute, as class, OF
power. They have no Board Of Trade, no ex-
change, no Chambers of Commerce, no organi-
zation powerful enough even to counteract the
local rings of petty tradesmen. We have
known articles Of prime necessity to differ IN
price fifty per cent, in markets not fifty miles
apart and these markets connected by railroad
and river.
There is slumbering among the farmers an
untold power-a power that, properly managed
and directed, can work social revolution and
make that occupation which God honored the
chosen pursuit of the wisest of men. And it
is fitting that this great conservative force
should be utilized. The aggregation of capital

men, who would not hesitate to destroy the very
foundations of the Government if it would in
anywise serve to swell their i'll gotten gains.-
To resist these corporations, and serve as pro-
tector against them and the exorbitant de-
mands, there must be society with a central
head, extending its branches and striking its
roots into every nook and corner of the land,
and embracing as members all who are inter-
ested in the success of Agriculture.
There should be more old men in our legis-
lative bodies-men whose impressions have
been formed and opinions moulded by associa-

We believe it has not been definitely de-
termined "where the pins all 60 to-" but a
question quite as interesting is loomihg upon
the social horizon, and that is, "Where do the
flies all come fron?" There are experts who
catch the persistent nuisances in scores by a
dexterous turn of the wrist; small boys i'm
pale them upon pins; vigorous women slash
them mercilessly with busters; thousands lose
their lives in milk pitchers, molasses jugs and
apple pies while tens of thousands are delu-
dcd to their death by besmeared paper tum-
blers of water covered with piece of bread
with treacherous hole therein, and hundred
other fatal devices of men and women, and yet
the force seems undiminished. Who shall tell
whence they come?

THE SENSATIONS OF DROWNING MAN.
Some extraordinary mental phenomena occur
in drowning. As soon as respiration is suspen-
ded, by the indrawing of water into the lungs,
consciousness is Immediately eXtingnished.
From all that can be gathered in regard to the
action Of the heart, that organ probably acts,
feebly, considerable time after the function
of respiration is suspended. By its muscular
force arterial blood is driven onwardly to the
head faster than the veins bring it back, and
consequently the mind is plunged, as it were,
into profound sleep; for loss of consciousness
results from sudden apoplexy induced by an
extra accumulation of blood in the delicate
texture of the brain.
When the pulsations of the heart stop, then
the tension of the muscles relax; and If no
efforts at resuscitation are made, vital heat
gradually diminishes, and the change is an ex.
pansion of compressed gases in the cavities of
the body, due to the first processes OF chemical
decomposition. If the body, however. is re-
covered Immediately, even though respiration
and circulation are quiescent, 1t is possible TO
re-establish the movement of the lungs 6y arti-
ficial Inflammation of the lungs, vigilantly con-
tinued for long while. The trial is not al
ways successful, but 30 encouraging that the
prospect demands the utmost perseverance.
With the revived action of the heart, the
moment the lungs begin to take in oxygen from
the air forced upon them, life begins to return.
So it is admitted by physiological philosophers
that the soul is won back, if it had gone, in
the act of restoration or else it is morally
certain its departure at death is a gradual pro-
cess, which may be interrupted, and re-lmPris-
oned in the brain by human effort and skill.

To KEEP MILK AND CREAM.-In very
warm weather, when it is difficult to preserve
milk from becoming sour and spelling the
cream, it may be kept perfectly sweet by scald-
inr the new milk very gently without boiling,
and putting it way in the earthern pan or dish
in which It has been scalded. This method is
adopted in all the large dairics in England,
and particularly in Devoushire. Cream al
ready skinned may be kept quite sweet for
twenty-four hours if scalded, but if as much
powdered loaf sugar be added as will sweeten
it. and then scalded, it will keep in cool place
for two days.

ECONOMY IN FEEDING STocK--Farrners
need especially to study economy in feeding
stock this winter By economy do not mean
feeding less than is required for the proper
growth aud nourishment of animals. But what
I do mean is, the wasteful manner that many
farmers pursue of feeding so much at the time,
that great deal is rejected by the cattle. "a
little and often" is the rule with good husband
men. whether the food is of the best quality or
not The hay-cutter should be brought into
reouisition, both for horses and cattle. With
most farmers steaming cattle food Is practically
impossible; but in many instances boiling
water might be used to good advantage in feed
ing poor hay, corn-fodder, &c: Let these be
run through the cutter, and then thoroughly
saturated with boiling water, with little salt
In this way corn-butts and stalks, and very
coarse meadow hay, with the addition of a little
new can be used without much waste.
Cattle should be provided with plenty Of
water IS well as food, and to this end, as far as
is possible, pure water should be introduced
into the barn yard. If, as has been demon
strated. stagnant water is fatal to the animal
constitution, farmers should not overlook q
subject so important. At any rate, cattle
should have access tc water twice or three times
day. Where cattle are watered but once
day, as is often the case, in very cold weather
they are apt to gorge themselves, and hence the
chill they must experience. Cattle can endure
moro cold than the human species, but if suit
able precautions were taken many troublesome
diseases might be avoided. During very cold
weather, if sufficient hot water could be added
to remove the chill, it would be good economy,
as where animal heat is increasingly wasted,
the supply must be made up by more food, or
the animal suffers deterioration, loss of flesh,
or disease in some serious form.-Boston Cult

SPECIMENS OF GEN. VANCE's WE-The
Raleigh IN. C.) Sentinel says, when Governor
Vance spoke at Newbern, the Radicals, true to
their low instincts, cencocted plan by which
the speaker was to be mortified and disturbed,
but somehow, as will be seen, it rather mlscar-
ried. The boomerang hit the ones that threw
it. Whilst Governor Vance was speaking,
certain animal with long ears was led as near
the stand as the crowd would allow; and pres
emily he began to send forth some alarming
sounds which once heard, are never forgotten
Governor Vance paused for a moment, and
then. waving his hand towards the animal,
said: "Now you Just hush, you old Radica-I
never promised to divide time with you." The
animal and its keeper vGnosed the rGnche, and
the crowdsyelled and hallooed.
The Curolina Eagle says Governor Vance
spoke few days ago at Newton with COL
Steele and Hon. T. S. Ashe. Governor Vance
arose amid loud and long cheering. He began
by saving that he was very forcibly struck with
the appropriateness of the air the band had
lust played-"Come out of the Wilderness" !"
he said he had just returned from Baltimore,
from the most enthusiastic Convention ne had
ever attended, where he saw what he had never
seen before, nor ever expected to see: old blue
Republicans and Democrats shaking hands,
and all going for Greeley. He saw many men
who were willing to bet everything they were
worth-thousands of dollars-that Greeley
would carry every State in the Union except,
perhaps, three. He was not so sanguine, but
he believed that Greeley would carry every State
except four or five.
why, gentlemen, he said, the woods are on
fire; there is an earthquake coming; the office
holders are shaking in their boots. The fact
is the thing had gone so far that it was bound
to stop. The corruption and stealing of the
Radicals created stencil SO great that, it was
said, .the man in the moon" ,s as ne ne passed over
Washington, was forced to hold his nose.

WHAT A Boy Knows ABOUT G1n1s.-Girls

WHAT Boy Knows ABOUT GIRLs.-Girls
are the most uncountablest things in the world
except woman. Like the wicked flea, when
you have them they Amt there. l can cipher
clean over to improper fractions, and the teach
era say do it first rate; but can't cipher out
girl proper or improper and you can't either.
The only rule in arithmetic that hits their case
is the double rule of two. They are as full of
old Nick as their skin can hold, and they would
die if they couldn't torment somebody. When
they try to be mean they are as mean; as pns-
ley, though they amt as mean as they let on
except some times, and then, they are good
deal meaner. The only way to get along with
a girl when she comes at you with her non
sense is to give her tit for tat, and chat will
flummux her, and when you get girl tium-
muxcd she is as nice as new pin. A girl can
SOW more wild oats in day than boy can In
year, but girls get their oats sowed after
awhile which boys never do, and then they
settle down as calm and placid as mud pud-
die.
But I like girls first rate, and guess the
bows all do. don't care how many tricks they
play on me-and they don't care either. The
hoitytoityist girls in the world can't always
boil over like glass of soda. BY and by they
will get hitched into the traces with somebody
they like, and pull as steady as any old stage
horse. That is the beauty of them. so let
them wave, say they will pay for it some
day, sewing on buttons and trying to make
decent man of the feller they have spliced on
TO, and ten chances to one if they don't get the
worst of it.

The Army in the South.

Major General S. w Crawford, Uni
ted States Army, having just returned
from long residence in the South, his
neighbors i'll Chambersburg, Pa, ad-
dressed him letter asking him if the
stories were true that the army was used
us an engine Of oppression in the South.
General Crawford has replied at length,
saying in the course of his letter:
Il solemnly say to you, gentlemen,
that never in my entire course Of duty at
the South, have | known of one single
act that would lead HE to think that the
allegations, you mention were we'll found
ed, Carefully guarded by thoroughly
prepared orders and instructions, the
army could not have become an engine
of oppression if it would. As far as my
personal knowledge goes, its use is Who'll
ly and entirely in the support of the civil
power, and then only when called upon
by civil authority and under the we'll
known restrictions of the Constitution
and the laws of the land and should
any servant of the Government, from
mistaken zeal or ignorance of his duty,
fail to appreciate the scope Of his power,
or go beyond the limit of his authority,
the authorities who control him would be
the first to check and condemn him.
Men ofintcligence in the South have
long appreciated the fact that the troops
in their midst were the conseryators Of
peace and order that they were subor-
| dinate to civil law, and they make no
com plant of their presence, and as far
as my political experience has gone
both political parties have sought their
assistance in times Of emergency.
