Carpenter and the Railroad Law.

We publish this week Senator
Carpenters argument on the rail-
road question. 1t may be that he
has proven that under our Constitu-
ton railroads can exact no more tor
their services than the Legislature
chooses TO allow them. All we have
to say is that if railroad property IS
thus exposed, no more important
railroads will be built in this State
by private capital. We are not able
to discuss the law question with
Senator Carpenter. His argument
has sufficient force in it to paralyze
all future enterprises of the KIND
This is what we regret. The Sena-
tor says:
"Men who invest money in rail
roads, and railroad securities, rely,
and may safely rely, upon the good
faith OF the Legislature, and the love
of even-handed justice entertained by
the people. If the provisions of this
law are in any respect unjust to the
companies, which l do not believe,
the next Legislature will modify
them"
O. for the Hobbies from all direc-
tons and from all localities this law
will call annually to Madison, when
every matter of railroad manage
ment formerly attended to by the
companies themselves must be under
the supervision of the Central Rail-
road Dictatorship at Madison-that
is, the Wisconsin legislature What
confidence the Senator entertains ID
the people. They will allow the
railroads fair compensation in all
cases. Does the Senator remember
that he voted to raise Congressmen's
salaries to $4,000 and the people caus-
cd and compelled him to putt down
TO $4,000 Senator Carpenter still
believes The people were wrong ana
niggardly, but voted the reduction
undor protest Now might not the
people possibly be niggardly to rail
roads The Senator concluded to
accept the So, 900 and work for the
people at that rate per year. But if
the railroads cannot charge what
their services are reasonably worth,
they cannot stop running as the Sen
ator can. For according to his logic
they must run at loss, if the legis~
Iature so requires. They have no
Constitutional protection. They
cannot apply to the courts and claim
reasonable pay for their services
Whatever confidence the Senator
may have in the generosity of the
people, he is we'll aware that mon OF
capital sufficient to build such i'm
provements do not entertain the
samo confdenc. They will require
the same Constitutional protection
as other property.

The spectators IN court room always

"Aaron, / suppose" said Counselor
Gray, initiating that witness.
After the mirth had somewhat subsid-

LINE AND SALr.-Prof. johnson recon-
mends for fertilizing purposes TO mix one
bushel Of salt and two bushels Of dry lime
under cover, and allow the mixture to
decompose gradually, thus forming chemi-
cal union. For this purpose the mixture
should BE- made six weeks before use, or
still better, two Or three months, the heap
being turned over occasionally. This salt
and lime mixture when applied at the rate
Of twenty Or thirty bushels per ere, forms
an excellent top dressing for many crops.

Farmers in great majority Of cases
have less pride in what they do for swine
than any other labor upon the premises.
First-class barns for horses and cattle,
convenient sheds, &C., for sheep, are nu-
merous, but il Is something Of rarity to
see nice, airy and really convenient pig
sty. The reason Of this is doubtless attri-
butable to the generally conceived idea
that the hog Is filthy animal, and not Fl
to occupy a decent place, but the fact is,
swine are made more filthy than ii their
nature to be, BY being confined in un-
Wholesome and uncleaned pens.
A pen can be easily constructed 50 that
the hoora Of the different departments may
be kept dry and wholesome, plans fol
which we have frequently given. The
foor should be tight, on a little decline
and kept Uttered with good absorbents
In the construction "Opens there IS a gen
eral fault in the way Of having them toe
low between Joints, most Of them being mol
over FIVE feet, where there should be moi
loss than seven, so that man may stand
erect in them. We have seen many ex
pensive pens having this fault, and the
swine therein absolutely neglected on &C
count Of the back-aching work Of cleaning
the different sections out
Every sty should have a good yard Al
one side, 80 that the swine may get at th'
earth; but they should not be allowed L
run herein at viii, nor should the clean
ings of the pen be thrown into the yard d
be mixed with the soil by the tramplin,
and roofing Of the hogs, for it isone Of th'
most valuable manures that can be produc
cd upon stock farm.
The farmer who makes the most money
from pork raising, is the man who not ouly
Is careful in the selection of breeds, bui
particularly careful to have good commo
dious pens, and give the swine all the at
tsntion required TO make them grow and
lay on the fat rapidly. When we SCI
iattening hogs IL rail pens, with the earth
for a floor and the sky for roof, oul
opinion is at once formed as to the chances
Of that farmer to prosper, aud they arr
decidedly unfavorable.-0hio Farmer.

UTTER NONSENSE. .-Macklin was once

boasted that he could repeat any formula

since grown 50 famous: $50 she went
into the garden to cut cabbage leaf to
make sn apple pie: at the same time a
great she-bear, coming up the street, pops
its head into the shop "What no soapa"
So he died, and she very imprudently
married the barber; and there were present
the Picininies, the Joblillies, and the Gay
rules, and the Grand Panjandrum him
self, with the little round button at. the
top; and they all fell to playing the game
Of catch-as-catch-can till the gunpowder
ran out Of the heels Of their boots" Mack
