Practical Results Of Association.
From tile Aqriculturdl Reports.

From tile agricultural Reports.
The March returns contain many
facts illustrating the saving resulting
from cooperation the last year in pur-
chasing supplies or selling products;
the advantage derived from association
in extending or manufacturing raw
products, the accomplishment of which
could not be undertaken by single in
dividuals, as in four-milling, pork-pack-
ing, woodworking, butter or cheese
making, and similar enterprises. These
statements lead to the belief that many
millions of dollars have been saved to
the farming interest by the simple initi-
alton of union for protection, begin
ming of what should result not only in
greatly charging the variety and profit
of rural labor, in larger reliance for
cash receipts upon products of high
value in proportion to weight and cost
of transportation, but in simplifying
and reducing the cost of necessary ex-
changes, and disseminating progressive
and beneficent ideas in agriculture
The gradual reduction of prices from
the war-rates which prevailed few
years ago, with the accompanying nee
essity for retrenchment year by year
becoming more imperious and threaten
ing, has compelled thoughtfulness,
a spirit of inquiry, a discovery of bur-
dens and crushing evils, and a search
for remedy, which has led inevitably
to association and combination by soci-
cites, open and secret, rural clubs of
various kinds, all animated by the pur-
pose of obtaining relief. 1t is only a
phase of the mighty impulse that is
moving for the elevation of labor and
its protection against the aggressions
of organized capital Throughout the
world 1t was logical, if not inevitable,
that the movement should reach the
great foundation-interest in productive
industry, so extended and SO isolated,
after rather than before its. organiza-
ton of the various forms of artisan
labor in the great centers of popula-
ton

SUCCESS WITH SHEEP.
From the .Nep York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
There have been indications for some
time and from various quarters, that
wool is going to advance in price The
demand appears to be heavy in Eng
land, and this affects our own market
We have watched the sheep and wool
business for twenty years during which
time there were several panics, sheep
being butchered for their pelts and tai
low; but Immediately prices rose, and
then every sheep was saved. Mean
while those who kept on steadily and
sold at the going prices, have done
well; while those who held wool over
a year or so thereafter were well paid.
The truth is, there is no better business
year after year, than that of sheep
husbandry, and for the reason that the
increase of our population is SO con-
slant and great as to keep up steady
demand for all kinds of wooden fabrics
AS it has been in the past, so is it
quite certain to be in the future, and
those who have sheep may safely get
more. But let not inexperienced men
rush in, for complete knowledge and
constant attention are required. The
best way to get flock of sheep is to
raise them, because there are but few
chances to buy such sheep as will pay
to keep, except at high price. He
who has good sheep knows it as well
as anybody else, and, as a general
thing, if he offers to sell sheep, they
will be culls. A beginner should buy
a few good American Merinos, say
from twenty to fifty, and if they are
really good-that is, young and free
from disease-there is more increase
and money in them than in flock
of five hundred culls, old, scabby, or
otherwise unsound. In fact, such sheen
are not worth the feed requj- ed to win
ter them, and the best y Sc to make of
them is to send them 20 the butcher, il
that is allowable Bv commencing
with a few shop, pains-taking man
can learn no" to manage them as fast
as they grow, being like some school
teachers who learn as fast as their
scholSrs do. 1t will take from three to
nV0 years to learn the sheep business
and by that time the flock should be OF
respectable size. We hardly know o.
an instance of young men going blind
lv into the business with five hundred
head who have not lost their whole in
vestment.

BRITISH IMPORTS OF GRAIN.
From the Germantocn Telegraph.


Figures have recently been returned
by the British Government, which show
that no matter how good may be their
own harvests, there is a steady increase
in the quantity necessary to be had
from abroad. Some countries which
formerly furnis he'd England with much
of this desired food have fallen off;
but from the United States there has
been steady increase. In 1872 we
sent England about sixteen millions of
bushels of wheat, and last year twenty
two millions Canada has also more
than doubled her quota, while Russia,
France, Egypt and other countries are
falling far behind.

PRESERVATION OF WOODEN LABELS

PRESERVATION OF WOODEN LABELS.
The following method of preserving
wooden labels that are to be used on
trees or in exposed places is recon-
mended: Thoroughly soak the pieces
of wood in a strong solution of sui
plate of iron; then lay them, after they
are dry, in lime water. This causes
the formation of sulphate of lime, very
insoluble salt, in the wood. The rapid
destruction of the labels by the weather
is thus prevented. Basis, mats, Irvine,
and other substances used in tying or

The Philadelphia Press hopes that the hint
that an extra session of Congress is to be

KU.kLUX IN NEW CLOTHES.
Augusta, Aug. 20. 1874.

One of our exchanges well says that
the present programme in the South sis
only the Ku-Klux in new clothes. The
same party. same people are engaged in
it, and they have for their motive the same
object-the destruction of the Republican
party in the South and the ascendency OF
the Democracy to power. 1t is rather
curious that the 'niggers' should rise jus,
at the beginning of campaign. The
story that the 'niggers' are armed is cir
culated. The whites are armed and rush
to the scene. Curiously enough it hap
pens right on the eve of local election.
Colored people are shot. Others remain
at home for fear of an abrupt introduction
to their 'superiors.' The election comes
off with Democratic victory on a re-
duced Republican vote. Explanation is
unnecessary"

MANUFACTURING DEMOCRATIC CAP
WAL-JEFF DAV IS LENDING A

A meeting was held in Memphis a few
days ago ostensibly as a protest against
the outrages in the South. The demo-
cratic leaders in the South had received
numerous letters from democrats in the
North advising them that show of oppo-
sition must be made to the numbering of
the blacks or the consequence would be
fatal to the hopes of the democrats in the
northern elections. Accordingly the meet
ing was held, and among the participants
were JEFF DAVIS and General JOE
FORREST. Both were active in promot-
ing the interest of their democratic friends
in Maine and other northern States. Mr.
Titcomb and the democratic candidates
for Congress may think it will help their
fortunes to have the assistance of the
rebel chief and his butcher lieutenant, but
a ticket supported by JEFF Davis is the last
ticket that friend of the Union past OF
present ought to be found sustaining.
Think of Joe Forrest, the leader in the
Fort Pillow massacre. joining with jeff
Davis in a protest against Ku-Kluxing the
negroes! Their interest in the success
of the democratic ticket in Maine makes
them wonderfully humane

NUMBER or CIVIL OFFICERS.

The Argus having published in big let
tiers the statement that the number of civ
il officers in the government had increased
from Al 800 in 1859 to sc eco at the pres
ent time, and claiming to base its asser-
ton on the biennial register, the Press
states that the authority of the Argus is a
speech of Fernando Wood s, and exposes
its deception as follows.
When Mr.. Wood made his speech in Con-
gress last spring, he stated that of the $4,000
| of the civil officials, GO, 225 were employed in
the postal department. Mr.. Packer of Penn
sylvaDia, met this statement by showing that
including postmasters, clerks, route agents
mail contractors and every employee of the
service even to the boy who gets s. year for
taking mail bag from train to an office,
there were 400. instead of the GO, 225 AS
stated by Mr. Wood "a difference of 1925,
due to this gentleman's habit of stufiing.
In his speech Mr.. Wood gave the number
of post officials in 1859 as IS, 294, when the
mail routes of the country measured 81 900
miles against ~, 900 at the close of 1873, and
during which time the business of the depart.
ment has more than doubled. Certainly an
increase of less than 10000 employees for
more than double the work is not very ex-
travagant
In the War Department, Mr.. Wood gave
the civil list as numbering 1866, to which, Mr.
Kellogg OF Connecticut, replied that there are
992 by actual count, the balance being un-
doubtedly officers of the army and cadets at
West Point.
