PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to be
the most eventful in a political sense
that we have seen since the close of
the war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts of
the country party called by vari-
Gus namcs-in California the indie
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti-Mo-
nopoly party. in Wisconsin the Re-
form party, in Illinois the Farmers
Movement-having a common pur-
pose and inspiration, and exhibiting
strength which proves it answers
one Of the chief demands Of the hour.
The Chicago Tribune will give a
large share Of it's attention to this
new manifestation of public scnti-
mcnt. 1t holds:
LIST. That the old party organiza-
tons are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthy reform can flow from
the pretended efforts of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships is
altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is a cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro.
ducts to exchange for about one-hali
the quantity of foreign or "protect-
ed" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than a fair rate Of in crest or
the capital actually invested in them
and that when, in addition to this
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection of the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation oflaw and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bountics
of money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo
rations, arc fragrant abuses of thu
powers of government, fraught will
the gravest dangers to tho people
and tending to promote corruption
extravaganza, speculation and tinan
cial disaster.

cago Tribune is too we'll established

How to Avoid Dead Burrows and
Ridges.

Plow the ground one way, that is
forward and back, instead Of going
around lands; in Other words back
furrow, leaving space Of one foot
wide between the first burrows or
bout, instead of tapping the burrows
Or making them meet as is common
ly done. Let down the plow-wheel
in commencing each land, so that
the first furrow or bout shall be on
ly one-half the common depth, and
the second furrow or bout, two-thirds
and the third three-fourths depth,
when the wheel is rcadjusted to the
desired depth. On finishing each
land let down the wheel so that the
last furrow shall be half depth, next
to the last turrow two-thirds, and
the turrow preceding this three
fourths depth. A space between
each two lands should be left I'M
turned, one foot wide. In this way
the dead burrows and ridges are so
graduated that the intersticcs fall on
being thoroughly narrowed.
The Scotch mode of tackling the
horses is decidedly best; that single
lines being used, falling down on the
outside of the horses backs, and
each line terminating in single
loop, grasped in either hand of the
plowman, with the corresponding
pillow handle, instead of hanging
about the neck or under the arms of
the plowman. The horses heads
arc tied together in the bits, at a
convenient distance apart, and the
horses arc so fastened that neither
shall get ahead of the other, by way
of tying rope or strap from the in
ner side of the horses bits to the in
ner side of the off horses tug buck
lie and the inner side ofthe off horses
bits are fastened in the same way to
the inner side Of the near horses
tug buckle.
With the increasing necessity OF
labor-saving machinery, dead fur.
rows and ridges should be done
away, as they may be, by the fore
going mode Of blowing, and we cs.
pecially deprecate them since being
unseated from our mowing.machine

Sheep.WashinE.

Some years ago the good people &
the town Of l., Mass, Assem-
bled for the purpose of forming {
temperance society. After the usu
al preliminarics, the pledge was sub
mittcd to the audience for signature
At that, Deacon Smith arose and ad
dressed them thus: "My friends,
should have no objection to signing
your pledge but for one thing. ]
have been accustomed to having my
plum pudding at Christmas. Now
you all know that plum pudding is
good for nothing without sauce, and
sauce is insipid without little good
brandy in it. Now, if you can fix
your pledge so that l can have my
brandy-saucc and plum pudding at
Christmas, will sign it with great
pleasure"
After a little arguing pro and con
a clause was added, allowing Dea-
con S. his brandy sauce at Christ
mas, but at no other time, and Dea-
con S. signed the pledge.
Soon after, farmer Jones arose
and said: "My triends-I have no
objection to signing your pledge il
you will allow me one thing. I al
ways want liquor in the harvest
field to counterfeit the bad effects of
too much cold water as is usually
drank at that time. If you can fix
it SO that l can have my liquor in
the harvest field 1 will sign your
pledge.
Again, after considerable arguing
clause was added allowing farmer
Jones his liquor in the harvest field
but at no other time.
After farmer Jones had taken his
seat, his neighbor Bent arose.
"My friends" said he, 81 will sign
your pledge if you will do one thing
to it, that is, fix it SO that l can have
my liquor at sheep-washing. 1
think it very necessary for men to
have some good strong drink when
coming out of the water when wash
ing sheep to prevent the bad effects
that arise from standing in it so
long,"
After good deal Of talk clause
was added allowing farmer Bent his
liquor at sheep-washing, but at no
other time. When all had signed
he pledge, the meeting was adjourn
ed for one week.
The next morning one of farmer
BIS neighbors was passing his
house, and the old gentleman step
ped out just then, gloriously drunk.
"Why Uncle John, how's this?"
said the neighbor great deal sur
prlsed. 81 thought you signed the
pledge last night"
$50 did," said Uncle John, "but
(hic) | was wash-ish-ing (hic) my
sheep"
He led the way to the barn, the
neighbor following. On arriving
there he saw standing in the middle
of the barn floor, big wash tub
about half full of water, and an old
ram tied to it as wet as he could be,
and shivering with cold. Close by
stood two-gallon jug. Uncle John
pointing to the ram with an air of
triumph, said:
II (hic) washed that (hic) sheep
twelve times this morning!'

DR.. A. TRASk'S
MAGNETIC OINTMENT
FOR THE CURE OF
INFLAMMAToRY DISEASES.

d.. Trasik was engaged for twenty years in
q course of experiments upon the medical prop.
critics and power of vegetables, separate and
combined At the age of seventy years he sue
ceeded in presenting to the world, as the result
of his experiments, u combination OF Nesetaolc
extracts, the power OF which in removing dis
eases is unequaled i'll the annals of Medicine.
His discovery consists IN combina-
ton OF these powerful Vegetable Extracts with
Electricity or Magnetism in the form of an ONT
ment.
Certain, it is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended Its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps 1t at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
calls for trial and close investigation OF its
properties
nc never fails, whilc there remains suf-
fcent life to restore natural and healthy &C
ton to the capillary vessels OF the body, and
Gqualize the circulation Of the blood. BY this
means a controlling power is gained over the
most malignant forms of disease. which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy
Such is the power of this combinas
ton, that it penetrates to every portion OF
the human frame: every bone and muscle, vein
nerve and ligament is searched out and made
sensible of its purifying and healing influence.
Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-
ternal disease.
NumeroUs instances are on record
where this remedy has restored health TO pa
tents SO near the grave that the most powerful
internal remedies failed to produce any effect.
Such has frequently been the case IL lnhamma-
ton Of the Bowels.
No patient ever need die with this
disease where the Magnetic Ointment can be OBJ
tanned.
For Infla Rheumatism
this Ointment is the most complete remedy ever
prepared. For Diphtheria or PRtrid Sore Throat
1t is unrivaled.
In ninety.nlnc cases ont OF a
hundred. it will afford entire relief to the worst
cases Of Nervous Headache in thirty minutes.
For Nervous Diseases this medicine is
OF immenec value. =

Then collect all the tinware, copper

Every subscriber to the Aldine for the year 1871

and dollars. The subjects were chosen to repre-
sent 1.-The East" and 'rhe West" One is view
in the White Mountains, New Hampshire; the
other gives the Cliffs Of Green River, Wyoming

ty distinct plates, and in size (12 16) and ap
