Things Worth remembering.

Now that our Democratic friends are
trying hard to saddle the salary steal
upon the Republican party, asserting
it to be Republican measure because
both houses of Congress had Republi-
can majorities, it is well to remember
the following facts:
A larger portion OF Democrats favor
ed the steal than Republicans.
In the House OF Representatives
fifty-two Republicans voted for the in
crease. and -sirty-t1oo Republicans
against it, while fifty Democrats voted
in favor of it and but thity-tiiret
against it. - -.
Had as many Democratic members
opposed the bill as Republicans, in pro,
portion to their number, IL a0ouId hare
been defeated IN the House by seq
erteen cOtes.
Every Democratic Congressman from
Ohio has drawn and kept his back pay
Every Democratic Congressman from
Missouri has drawn and kept his back
pay.
Every Democratic Congressman from
Pennsylvania has drawn and kept his
back pay.
Every Democratic Congressman from
Kentucky has drawn and Kept his
back pay.
Every Democratic Congressman from
New Hampshire has drawn and kept
his back pay.
OF fffty-two Senators and Representa-.
tives who have returned their back
pay, Oll{y eIeUe11 are Democrats.
OF the eleven Senators who have moi
yet drawn their back pay, nine are
Republicans and two are Democrats.
If there is an error in any of the
above statements we ask of our Demo
cratic friends who may be informed tC
correct it, and our readers shall have
the benefit of the correction.

TRANsPLANTING EvERGREENs.--
The latter end of August is one of the
best seasons of the year to transplant
evergreens. The young growth of the
past season has got pretty well harder
ed, so as to permit of but very little
evaporation, and, the earth being
warm, new roots push with great rap
idity, and the tree becomes established
in the ground before cool autumn
winds begin. The chief difficulty is
that the soil is usually very dry, which
prevents much speed with the opera
ton; and the weather being usually
very warm, the trees have to he set
again the ground almost as fast as they
are taken up; SO that it is not safe to
bring them from a distance. 1t is as
well, therefore, to make all ready in
anticipation Of a rain, when no time
may be lost in having the work push
shed through. Should spell of dry
weather ensue, which in September
and October is very likely, one good
watering should be given, sufficient to
SC well through the soil and well about
the roots. A basin should be made to
keep the water from running away
from the spot, and to assist the soaking
in. After being we'll watered the loose
soil shovld be drawn in lightly over
the watered soil, which will then aid
in preventing the water from drying
out soon again.

To CAN PEACHEs.-Pour boiling
water over the peaches, aud let them
stand for fifteen minutes; hen take q
napkin and rub off the skins. If you
desire them in halves, the stones cal
be taken out by cutting round each
peach; but if this is done. crack dozen
or more of the peach-stones, and take
out the kernels; pour boiling wafer
over them, and rub off the skins. To
each quart Jar of peaches add three 0l
four of these kernels, and the fruit will
be better-fiavored.
To every pound of peaches take hall
a pound of white sugar. Melt it with
a teacup of boiling water. Let it boil
up and skim it well. Add the peaches.
and let them boil for ten minutes, or
less if the fruit sOftens quickly. Often
one boil up is quite sufficient. Skim
out the fruit into the glass jars, treating
them rs for tomatoes. Add the ker-
nels, and screw the covers tightly in
place.
Glass jars are much better for all such

CANNED TOMAToES.-Seiect falr, ripe
tomatoes, and pour boiling water over
them to remove the skins. Peel them
carefully, cutting out all hard spots, ,and
slice thin. Put into a large porcelain
kettle-iron or tin are not desirable on
account of the acid contained in the
tomato. Let them boil hard, and then
skim off the crust that rises. After
boiling for half an hour or SO, season
slightly with salt and pepper.
The glass cans should be placed upon
several thicknesses of cotton cloth,
thoroughly wet in cold water, and, for
convenience, they can be placed il.
large tin pan, and brought to the stove
or range, and filled from the kettle
while still boiling hard over the fire.
Place a silver tablespoon in each jar
before filling it up, and it will prevent
the glass from cracking upon receiving
the boiling tomato.
1t requires two persons to can tOma-
toes or fruit, for success depends upon
the rapidity with which the operation
is performed. While one fills the jars,
the other can put on Tic cnyrrs instant
ly, and screw them tightly in place
Now take thick towel and stand each
jar upon its head. This operation viii
determine whether they are air-tight.
Let them stand until entirely cool;
then put in dark, dry closet.
FEEDING OATS TO CoLTs.-A writer
in the Maine Farmers says: l have al
ways found that generous feeding pays
the best, and have found nothing so
good for colts as a generous supply OF
oats, regularly fed. There is not much
danger of feeding too many; the dan
ger is the opposite direction. The most
critical part of the colts life is perhaps
the first winter, when he should be
literally fed with oats or oatmeal, with
few potatoes, and have daily exercise.
One of your correspondents prefers car
rots to other roots for feed. This does
not agree with my experience. After
giving carrots fair and thorough trial,
extending through three winters, i
come to the conclusion (and L think
intelligently) that carrots as feed for
horses are entirely worthless. The
more oats you feed to your colts the
more muscle, the more size, the more
power, the more endurance, the more
Style and speed you obtain, and the
more money you get when you sell
! them.

Cows WASTING THEIR MILK.-One
of our southern subscribers writes us
for a remedy against cows wasting
then milk. We have usually found
the only remedy, milking three times
a day. There is weakness in the
muscles Of the teat, or inability from
some cause for the COW to contract
them, which thus allows the milk to
run ont as it is secreted. We have
heard OF one person who has used col
lodion successfully, by applying after
milking little, with the end of the
finger to the extremity of the teat. A
slight film, or skin, is formed over it,
which prevents the milk running out,
and is readily washed off at each reg
ular milking-time. If any Of our
friends have tried this plan, we shall | e
glad to hear from them Practical
Farmer.

But oftener far, like piteous moan,
Adown the dark hills of the By gone,

A Few WORDS ABOUT HoRsM.-
Hay and oats make the best feed for
horses that are obliged to work hard
and regelariy. If the hay is cut fine,
and the oats bruised or ground, the
whole mixed and moistened, the horse
will eat his rations quicker, digest
them sooner, and thus have more time
for resting and renewing his power for
labor. Formers horses that work lit
tie during winter time may be kept
cheaper by cutting and mixing bright
straw and hay in equal quantities, and
adding a ration of steamed potatoes or
raw carrots. Colts should be fed liber-
ally on good hay-bri9ht clover is best
and bruised oats; gixe them a roomy
boX-stall in stormy weather, and du-
ring nights. Little freely, and do not
let the manure accumulate under them.
Saw-dust or spent tan makes good and
convenient bedding; in cities and vii
lagos they are often cheaper than straw.

exercise every day; run in the yard
is excellent. See that stable floors over
easements are sound and strong. Ar
range the feeding racks so that the dust
and hay-seed will not fall into horses
names or eyes; some horsemen build
their managers too high, thus focing the
animal TO take an unnatural and pain
full position when eating. Farm horses
that are not worked should have their
shoes taken of, and those that are driv-
en- on the road should be kept well
