OF any man or any set of men. In the alb
sence of any moral obligation the party ac-

men for political purposes are useless and
frivolous, and political chaos is come again.
Impractical and visionary men, who make
for themselves an ideal political system which
can never exist out of Utopia, disappointed

selves except ina general disarrangement of
affairs and men with no particular principles
very naturally cry out against caucus and

it is and make the most of it, which can be
done in political affairs only by faithfulness to
the average opinion in details of large aggre-

convention fairly constituted and conducted

such, except when these nominations are OPP

this is the case is for each man to decide for
himself; and he does not lose this right by be-

a GREAT MISTAKE.

Planters in the cotton States have long
been convinced, according to their own
admission that it is not correct policy for
them to continue using all their energies
and capital to raise cotton. Every year
since the war they have made such admis-
sions, and have announced that the
next year they would raise less cot
ton and more grain. But Notwithstanding
they have made such announcements, in
good faith we have no doubt, they contin-
ne to plant large crops of cotton, and to ig-
more other crops.
In East Tennessee our farmers have pur-
sued similar course. For half century
our principal crop has been corn. Far
mers have gone on, year after year, rails
ing corn on the same fields, until the soil
is worn out-much of it almost worthless.
They seem convinced, many of them, that
crops, of grass will pay better, and that
they could improve the soil by cultivating
Gras pc. slsu IN raising corn. 1t
seems strange that this should be so, but
there is not a farmer in East Tennessee,
whose observation has not taught him the
truth of what we say. A large proportion
of our lands will pay better to raise grass
upon them than corn, and yet We see tnOu-
sands of acres planted in corn, when the
yield is hardly sufficient to pay for labor
expended. This looks to us like q suicidal
policy, and the sooner it is abandoned the
better.

BOughten Wheat.

This wheat has for several years past
been distributed by our Department of
Agriculture under the name of Tappahan-
mock wheat. 1t is a heavy, thin-skinned,
white wheat; short, stiff straw and beard
less. 1t will not tiller out so much as
common wheat, and hence should not be
sown less than two bushels per acre. 1t
succeeds well in strong ground, or with
plenty of good manure. Being very much
shorter and sitter IN the straw than the
common red wheat, it seldom, if ever,
lodges and goes down so as to be injured.
II does not shell out much, and when over
ripe will not be injured 50 much by stand
ing uncut. Tight, beardless chaff is not so
liable to injury from long continued wet
weather, either while standing or in the
shock. 1t ripens about two weeks in adj
vance of the red wheat usually cultivated
in Pennsylvania, yields rather less per
acre, both in grain and straw, but being a
white wheat and thinner skinned, it will
always command from five to ten cents
per bushel in advance of common market
prices. 1t usually weighs about sixty
four pounds per bushel over common red
wheat.

Care of HORSES.

All horses must not be fed in the same
proportions without regard for their ages,
their constitutions and their work. The i'm
propriety of such a practice is self evident,
yet 1t is constantly done, and is the basis
of disease of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account of its
cheapness, because there is no nourish-
mentin it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious,
because it brings on Inflammation of the
bowels and skin diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses than hay
because they can chew and,digest it better.
Mix chaff with corn or beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because it makes
the horse chew his food more and digest
better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
not sufficient nutritive body in either.
When horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats, if not worked hard
its food should be hay because oats supply
more nourishment and flesh making ma
terial than any other kind of food, hay not
so much.
For saddle or coach horse, half a peck of
sound oats and eighteen pounds of good
hay are sufficient. If the hay is not good,
add quarter of a peck more oats. A horse
which works harder may have rather more
of each, one that works little should have
less.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The plan is
TO feed with chopped hay from manger,
because the food is not then thrown about,
and is easier chewed and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
had salt dissolved in it, because it is pleas
ing to the animals TASTE and easier digest
ed. 4 teaspoonful Of salt in bucket is
sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old horse,
but not for young one, because the form
er through age and defective teeth, cannot
chew them properly mixed with saliva,
and turned into wholesome nutriment.-

Soft Soap with Potash.

To 20 pounds of clear grease take II
pounds of pure white potash. Il prefer this
TO the concentrated I've put up in tin box
esq. Buy the potash in as fine Jumps as it
can be procured, and place it in the bottom
of the soap barrel, which must be water
tight and strongly hooped. Boil the grease
and pour it boiling hot upon the potash !;
then add two Shaker pailfuls of scalding
hot water; dissolve one pound of borax in
two quarts of boiling water, and stir alto
gether thoroughly. Next morning add
two pals of cold water, and stir for half an
hour; continue this process until barrel
containing 80 gallons is filled up. In a
week, or even less, will be fit for use. The
boraX can be turned into the grease while
boiling, and also pound of rosin. Soap
made in this manner always comes, and is
a first rate article, and will last twice as
long as that bought at the soap chambers.
The grease must be tried out, free from
scraps, ham rinds, bones or any other de-
bais then the soap viii DC as thick as
jelly, and almost as clear.

A New Organization Proposea

The Stockholders ofthe East Tennessee Fair met
last night at the Board ofTrade Rooms, Judge 0.
p. Temple presiding. The report of the Com
mittee to propose relief for present embarrass-
ments of the Association was as follows:

Association absolutely and have lately been
sold under an order of the Chancery Court to
satisfy q Judgment in favor of S. I. Atkin for
about $3,806. This land is also encountered BY
a lien retained by the former owners for the
balance of the purchase money amounting to
about 500, making the total lien upon the
property about 50, 500, which amount must be
settled Immediately, as application has already
been made TO the court now in session for con-
frmation of the sale.
Under the circumstances your committee feel
some delicacy in proposing plan for the pres
ent emergency, but as the duty has been ass
signed them, they have the honor to suggest
the following scheme for your consideration:
LIST. That a new joint Stock Company with
capital stock of $1,000, divided into 500 shares
be organized under Charter.
I'd. The subscriptions for the new stock to be

1873, and the other half October LIST, 1873.
ID. That the sale of the twenty acres made
under an order of Court to S. L. Atl1in be con-
frmed and said property be transferred by him
TO the new Company, the consideration paid him
being in notes given as hereinbefore provided.
4th. That the lien of the Howell heirs be paid
from the assets of the new Company, on or be-
fore the lst of October 1873, SO as to free the
land from all membranes before the next
Fair.
9th. That in consideration OF keeping tho Z az
in operation and the privilege of redemption
hereinafter provided for, the East Tenn. Agri-
cultural Society transfer to the new stock Com
pany the grounds acquired from the State.
9th. That the new Company shall have the prof
its accruing from the fair but shall allow the old
Company the privilege of redeeming the prop
erty conveyed by Atkin at any time within five
years upon payment of the new stock with 10
per cent interest
18th. That the new stockholders shall elect
President, who shall have the entire manage
ment of the affairs of the Company so as to in
sure that its business shall be managed like that
of any well conducted private enterprise.
