lana sympathize with the Kellogg
government and earnestly desire to
see * maintained"
So, too, in regard to what should
be done by the General Government
in the matter, there was the widest
difference of opinion on the part of
the members of the Committee.
The majority report a bill to hold a
new election in May for State officers
and Legislature, which provides for
the fairness and puritY Of the vote,
and appropriates 100000 to defray
the expenses, at the same time author
izing the President TO employ the
military and naval forces, on applica-
ton of the Governor of Louisiana or
the United States Circuit Judge, to
carry out the provisions of this act
and enforce judicial process.
Mr.. Trumbull concludes that the
proper thing to be done is to recognize
The McEnery Government, and that
thereby " the peace of Louisiana will
be speedily restord." Mr.. Hill thinks
that the unquestionably elected mem.
bers of the State Legislature should be
recognized, convened, and empowered
to count votes and complete the or
ganization of the State government.
Mr.. Morton, after an elaborate
review Of the whole question, says il
is his deliberate Judgment that it is
better for the people of Louisiana "tC
bear the ills they have and seek re-
formation and relief under their owl
laws and tribunals than to invoke the
National Government TO the assertion
Of power under which State Govern
ments would exist hereafter only by
sufferance.
Mr.. Anthony stated that he should
reserve his judgment Of the re medJ
required till he got more light.-BoS

but as a whole his experience would
be that the short horn was the best.
DIR. Hoskins thinks short horns
aud Jerseys TO large and clumsy for
hill farms and would recommend
smaller breeds.
EVENING.
Prof. Peter Collier spoke on Ag-
ricultural Chemistry, stating that
chemistry as a science was among the
oldest of historical facts, as old as
the writings Of the second chapter of
Genesis when Tubal Cain is the in
structor of all artilicers. He then ex-
planned the simple elements of che mi
cal sciences following, on in explain
alton, showing what plants ere made
up of, how it Is obtained and how the
farmer should furnish that food. He
illustrated fully that only three ele-
ments were usually wanted in our soil
viz: Nitrogen, Potash and Phosphoric
acid. That those may be supplied
easily and are so supplied in England
so that within few years their crops
have been doubled. He stated that
ashes were very valuable as a fertil-
izer and should be always used as
such that they would furnish the pot
ash while the Nitrogen might be sup.
piled by good Guano Or green ma
nure, the Phosphoric acid by Super
phosphate Of Lime, as well as by va
rious other means.
DR.. Haskins remarked that mucl;
was sometimes of great value, when
used in connection with ashes it was
especially so.
DIR. Hoskins Of the Vermont
Furmer, said fruit used to be album
dant but in Orleans County; after a
time the trees died and apples became
scarce, and it was said that the only
apples that could be raised were crab
apples.
After enquiring, he found one man
in Orleans county that could raise APP
pies, and he was an Irishman, but he
could do what most said was impos-
sible and 50 the DR.. made up his
mind that he would try and do the
same. He said he thought many
kinds that people try TO raise, could
not be raised to advantage, but many
kinds could, and that the only OBJ
lection was the want of hardy vari-
cites. The pedlars bring about their
picture books and take orders and
then supply them with third rate
trees, which are worthless in any
section and doubly so where some
care is necessary for their perfect
growth and bearing.
He would advise people to raise
apples, and those 100 Of a good quail
ity grated on native roots, and not
on crab apple roots as the crab tree
has not a long life, certainly not
more than one third the length Of life
Of a native apple tree
Hon, J. w. Hartshorn, remarked
that at least 1000 bushels of apples
were raised per year in this town, once
but those trees are all dead and he is
sorry that there are no more attempts
to raise apples now.
WEDNESDAY MORN.
Hon. A. B. Halbert addressed th,
meeting on Highways. He showed
the imperfection of onr system o
, highway surveyors. That in the ma
, jority Of cases surveyors are APP
pointed without any actual knowledg
or road building, further they do no
have personal supervision of thei
men who are frequently directed to g

practice for grass lands only grass
should be raised though the land
should run out, then be plowed and
enriched but seeded without other
crops.
J. NJ. Lucas said he never failed
in getting good catch, as he wet his
grain and mixed the grass seed with
it.
French, Williams and King also
followed in discussion.
AFTERNOON.
Remarks of j. Irving williams.
Every one should not only look
over his farm and surroundings but
should look we'll to his own capabil-
tiles, If he is fractions and unable to
govern that disposition he should not
attempt raising horses, as he would
spoil every colt he attempted &c
rear.
In his opinion Jersey cattle should
not be kept, as they were too tender
to rear in this climate though he
would in no way deprecate theil
worth as far rs rich milk or cream is
concerned.
In his opinion the short horned cat
tie are the best adapted to this see
ton, but 1t is fault of farmers tc
take a favorite calf and feed him will
roots and meal until he can show ;
fine creature, but when he comes t
raise stock from such parents, hi
finds that it is worthless for all pur
poses except to eat roots and meal
He does not favor breeding inland TO
that reason he would have farmers be
ware of such stock. The Hereford
are good for work hut not good fol-
milk.
The Devons he finds better 70
milk and good for work. Farmer
should in stock raising give it thei
undivided attention, as in other pul
suits. Keep all the stock that a farr
will feed, and never sell hay.
Charles w. King remarked that h
thought the remarks applicable t.
this section. AS for sheep he shoul
as leave have flock of woodchucks a
q flock Of Merino sheep. He woul
recommend large open wool sheer
I He would never winter poor stock
better kill it in the fall than to feed

should investigate and avail himse
