Georgia Believes in Alexander Stevens Ever.
Different Towns in the State.

The full returns from the county,
which will be found in tabular form
elsewhere, are as correct as we could
possibly obtain, and are very nearly
or quite reliable. They show that the
entire Republican ticket was elected
by handsome majorities of ranging
from 200 to GOO. Grant, Lincoln and
Minneha were the banner townships,
followed closely by Union. Illinois
township went straight opposition or
democratic by large majority. The
whole Republican strength adds up
500 to 462, or little over double that of
the opposition. The great fight in the
county vas made upon county attor-
ney and congressman, but both the
republican nominees came out over
200 ahead, while Allen, Little, Reeves
and Zimmerman were elected by grand
or overwhelming majoritics.
KANSAS.
Leayenwcrth gave PARROT, demo-
cratic candidate for congress, 200, and
Osborn, republican, for Governor l.
500 majorities.
Judge Brown had fine majorities
ranging from 100 to 500, in Buriin-
game, Emporla, Peabody, Topeka, New
ton, Usage City and Great Bend, as
did the entire republican ticket.
GEORGIA,
Alexander Stevens was reelected to
congress without opposition, with
general democratic gains in TIE state
NEW YORK.
Democratic gains, both in the city
and the country, is shown by the re-
turns, AT least two-thirds of the con-
gresham will be democratic.
TENNESSEE.

MASSACHUSETTS.
Gen. Ben. Butler, il Is estimated,

more majority, Banks was elected
Ii was conceded that the state had
elected CASTOR the democratic candi-
date.
MISSOURI.
The news from Missouri up to yes

that the Peoples ticket, was defeated

Topeka, October q, lS74


Z. ". James, County Treasurer.
In answer to the interrogatories con-
tanned in the foregoing letter, am of
opinion:
l. That the tax of 1874 should not be
endorsed on certificates of sale issued
prior to the tax law of 1874, before the
Goth day of December next.
2. That the rate of interest in re-
deeming must be computed according
to the law in that behalf in force at
the time of sale.
3. That the per cent. re bate does
not apply to case described in your
last interosatory. Respectfully,
THOMAS RYAN, County Atty.
Mr.. Ryan's theory in regard to road
taxes is that their levy and collection
provided for by the road law itself;
that they are all due November first and
payable at any time between that date
and December 20, and that no rebate is
allowable for full payment during that
time. Il. NJ. JAMES.

How 10 CHURN.-To make the task of
churning light, certain rules must in all cases
be observed; first proper temperature, and
second, proper motion. A thermometer
should be used and the cream kept at about
iiity-tiyc degrees, not varying more than three
or four degrees from that either way. y. A.
Willard says Of motion in churning, that it
should be regular, neither toe quick nor too
slow. If the agitation is too quick the butter
will make ana unmake itself before the
churncr is aware of it, as too rapid motions
induce fermentation, which, when 1t has
reached a certain point, is entirely destructive
Of anything like the possibility OF making
even moderately good or well tasting butter
II, oil the other hand, the motion be too slow,
the agitations in the churn fail to produce the
desired separation OF the component parts OF
the cream, aud the consequence is, that after
Il good deal of time spent in lazy churning,
the churncr is just as far from the butter as
he was at the beginning of his labors.-OhtO

ROLLING THE GRoUND.-A correspondent
of the Germantown Telegraph writes upon
this subject:
On dry or wet ground the effect of the roll
er is found to be salutary. Plowcd and pre-
pared for sowing, dry land is much helped
by the roller. The blades OF grass spring W
sooner and retain tirmer hold in the earth
In a season of dought, rolling has saved the
crop, when without i. the seed would never
have sprung from the ground. In wet and
heavy ground it is believed the roller, smooth
ing and hardening the surface, will leave the
soil Immediately beneath the surface in bet
ter condition to generate the seed. On grass
ground that has been heaved by the frost the
roller has an excellent effect in fixing the
roots. Rolling the ground is also good when
the land has been laid down unevenly the
previous year If the land is too dry, wal
till Just after soaking rain, and 1t will work
capitaly 1t is good idea to roll plowec
sowed ground before narrowing, AZ it prcsse:
down the burrows that would be turned back
and makes .hc surface less uneven, and the
harrow pulvcrlzes il much. We lind that OF
an average not one farmer in four has a roll
err upon his farm.

White Water LILY.

If cur readers knew how easily the white
water lily (Nympha Odorata could be cut
tiyated, we believe that very many OF lhcm
would be quite rs proud OF their lily gardens
IA of any other portion OF their premises. Inc
roots having been procured in the iail were
kept damp during the ensuing "ih'er' ~
flower pots. In spring tub was maue ny
saving substantial barrel in two, ana ms,
duly painted green, was SET on orich, put u,
the garden, and onethlrd filled win mixture
of garden soil, sand and well rotled manure
The roots were set in this mixture, water was
added IN small quantities, and at intervals OF
. dav or two. and 40 gently as not to disturb
the earth, until the tub was filled, Very soon
the handsome round leaves, four or five
inches in diameter, made made their appear
appearauce and filled the tnb. The loss OF
water by evaporation was made good from
time to time, and ere long the blossoms APP
peared and delighted every one with their
beauty.
When cold weather approached, the water
was allowed to dry off almost entirely, and
when 1t was thus nearly gone, the tub, with its
contents, was placed III the cellar, and watered
at long intervals through the winter. In the
spring the roots were separated, and about
half the increase returned to the same tub in
fresh mixture OF earth, and they are now
brought out earlier than before, about April
list, and blossom yet more pfotusely. The
pure white flowers were as perfect as the
Camelia, and delightfully."- fragrant, closing in
the night and re.openng in the morning as is
the want of water lilies. The blooms were
about two inches in diameter, not quite 50
large rs some of the specimens in the pond
whence these roots were first taken, but not
less beautiful nor less tragrant.-Ft0reI

CLAWsoS WuEAT--In Il communication
read TO the n. Y. Farmers Club on the l2th
inst by f. s. Johnston, Of Ovid, n. n, we
find the following history of the ClawSon
wheat, of which we have seen so much IN the
agricultural papers lately:
"Somc seven or eight years ago last August,
Mr. Carrot Clawson, Of the town of Lodi, in
the county of Seneca, in company with his
son was crossing wheat stubble on an adj
Joining farm to his own, and, in picking up
different heads of wheat, they each found a
head that for length Of head and quality OF
grain attracted their attention; they were
both white wheats They sowed them in Il
corner together; the next year they picked
the wheat, separated the two varieties, and
rubbed it out by hand, and watched the
, growth very closely, and found the growth
of one of the heads sown to be different from
ANYTHING they had ever seen growing, for
stiffness of straw, length Of head, whitcness
of berry, being so plump and large, they con-
cluded to try it again. They sowed the pro
duct of this one head Zone plnD and at the
next harvest they haG thirty-nine pounds /;
this they sowed, and at the next harvest they
cut elvvcn dozens of shcaves, which, upon
threshing, yielded thirteen bushels OF cleaned
wheat. This was sOwn, and the product was
one hundred and thirty dozen saeavcs, yield.
ing one hundred and fifty bushels. The next
year he had two hundred and tfty-tour BUSH
els of clean wheat Mr.. Garret Is. CIawsOn,
OF Ovid, Ga cousin of Mr.. Carrot Clawson Of
LodiO obtained tour bushels of this wheat in
1870 which he sowed on barley stubble which
had been planted with corn the year previous,
he sowed the four bushels on one acre, 1870
rods of ground; he harvested ninety'two and
ene-halt bushels by measure weighing sixty
two pounds to the bushel. This wheat took
the first premium at the Seneca County FAIR
in 1871 an account of which may be found
in the report of the Secretary OF the Seneca
County Agricultural Society to the Secretary
of the New York State Agricultural Society
for the year 1871. This variety of wheat also
took the first premium at the Winter meeting
of the Seneca County Agricultural Society in
1872. Also, IN the Western New York Fair
at Rochester, IN 1873"
