Politics.

1t is said That in former days when
q king of France died, herald came
forth and cried, "lc Roi est Mort pive
le ROij"-iho King is dead; =
long live the King. In politics the
same cOurSc is pursued; no sooner is
one costcst over than another one
comes up
The election jus. past was one Of
importance to tho State, and to the
United States, inasmuch as members
Of Congress were elected. That is
over, and now We turn our eyes for.
ward to tho timc when tho Presidcn.
tial election takes place, and prepare
for tho coming contest. Radicalism
has had a long lease of power, but in
tho States that have held elections this
fall, this power has been robuked, and
in great majority Of them Democrat.
10 principles have triumphed.
II is hoped that tho strength re.
gained may DO retained and that the
party by so conducting tho govern
incnts that have passed under Demo-
cratic rule may commend itself 10 the
people aud perpetuate its power.
Believing as We do, that Demo.
cratic principles lie at the very found.
alton Of q Republican government, we
shall endcayor to sustain those priuci.
pies. The experience had since the
last Presidential election. the unblush.
ing violation By the Republican party
ofall the pledges nude at that time;
the widespread panic and ruin that
has ovsrtNken tho people Of all parts
Of the United States in consequence
Of the financial policy of tho govern
mcnt-its enormous expenditures in
time Of peace, -the arbitrary and IN.
constitutional measures pursued to.
ward the Southern States, by which
their prosperity has been destroyed,
and their governments placed in tue
hands Of rogues and ucgroes,-all
these things impCl US TO continue in
the future, as we have in tho past, to
war against tue Republican party, aud
to do all We can for its overthrow.
There are many reasons why tho
change should DO made. One Of the
most important is that there are ma.
ny things hidden from the people by
the government that should DO brought
to light, and that never will be by the
present politica! party. Another rea.
son is that retrcnnhment is needed inI
all branches Of the government, and
this will never be had under the Radi.
cal party. Another, and n very i'm.
poriant reason, is there is no hope for
prosperity in tho land until tho bitter
Radical prOscriptivc policy, pursued
toward the white men of the Southern
States is changed and which will never
be changed while Grant, Fish, VII.
liams and men Of their character are a,
the head Of the Administration. Tn.
der these considerations, We expect to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Democratic party throughout tho Uni.
ted States in wnging a continued war.

The Difference Between AdScr-
Using and not Advertising.

The Lexington Pres, of Thursday,
concludes It's report of Mr.. ID. Swigert's
splendid sale Of trotting stock the day
before, with the following sad story Of
another sale which was not SO splendid
for want of little printers ink; At the
conclusion of Mr.. Swiggert's sale MIR. j,
Poe announced that he would sell i'm
mediately after dinner, on the adjoining
farm of Mr.. Anthony Day, about twen-
ty-five head of trotting stock. Mr.. Poe
distributed slip of paper containing
the names and pedigress Of the animals
to be sold, evidently relying on finding
purchasers among the many who had
been attracted by the liberal advertise
ments Of Mr.. Swiggert. The result,
however, showed that Mr.. Poe had made
very great mistake. The announce
ment of the sale was unexpected, and no
one was prepared to bid. The stock
offered, some twenty-five head, was well
bred and in fine order, and ought to have
sold for several thousand dollars more
than it did. As it was, only fourteen OF
the best were sold, at an average sl1c
each. Many of the rect were withdrawn
without receiving bid. 1t is to be hoped
that in future when any Of our stock mel
have a fine lot Of stock for sale, such a.
Mr.. Poe had on yesterday, that they vii
= properly advertise their stock and no
depend on buyers brought to gegther by
the superior enterprise of II neighbor.

Looking over the whole field, from
ocean to ocean, and from the lakes to the

reaction against the doctrines and prac-

Watering Horses Ancr Meals.

1t is the practice with many horsemen
to give their horses no water until after
they have eaten their allowance of food.
Concerning this practice veterinarian
writes: "a full drink Of water imme-
diaiely after being fed should never be
allowed to horses. When wateris drunk
BY them the bulk of it goes directly to
the large intestines, and little Of it is re-
tanned in the tomcah, In passing
through the stomach, however, the water
carries considerable quantities Of the con
tents to where it lodges in the intestines.
Ii then, the food of horses stomachs is
washed out before il is diges.ed, no nour-
ishment will be derived from the food.
In Edinburgh some old horses were fed
with split peas, and then supplied with wa
ter Immediately before being killed. Ii
was found that the water had carried pea,
from fifty to sixty feet into the intestines,
where no digestion took place at all. v
Mr.. Cassie is quite correct in the
views set forth regarding the injurious
effects Of large quantities of water
swallowed Immediately after eating. A
small quantity of fluid swallowed along
with, or Immediately after, dry food,
beneficially softens it and assists in its
subdivision and digestion. An inordinate
supply of water, or OF watery fluid, on
the other hand, proves injurious. 1t di-
lutes unduly the digestive secretions; it
mechanice LIZ carries onwuptthsinlnerfsct
ly digested food; and thus interferes with
the proper functions of the canal and ex-
cites indigestion and diarrhea. These
untoward Effects are especially apt to
occur where horses freely fed and too
literally watered are shortly but to
toleraby quick work. There is no more
infallible method of producing collie,
diarhea and inflammation of the bowels.
The horse is not peculiar in this effect:
dogs and even their masters, similarly
suffer from copious draughts of water
Immediately after eating much solid food.

Orchards containing young trees

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.
Most orchardists consider June the
best month in which to prune, especially
where large limbs are to be removed.
Cover the wounds with liquid grating
wax, paint, or other protection TO pre-
vent decay.
Nothing will pay better than to cross
common sows with thoroughbred boar

Berkshire. Now is the best time to or

and Winter.
Young pigs are unusually scarce and
pork is likely to bring good prices. Feed
literally. Give the young pigs all the
milk. The old ones can get along with
out it. The secret Of producing good
and cheap pork is to get an improved
breed and feed literally, especially whil'
the pigs are young.
Another very destructive insect is thu
Borcr. The parent deposits the egg
near the base of the tree where they arr
