One of the hopeful signs of the present
day, in political aspect, Is the frequent
cases of boiling nominations, made by
party leaders and wire-pullers for the poo
pie to endorse. Somehow the voting pub
lie seem to think that they will do as they
please about the matter, Notwithstanding
pleas of usage, and the orders to vote
straight party ticket come to them from
the headquarters of party authority. They
spit on usage, and laugh those orders to
scorn. Then, too, sec how leniently party
apostacy is condoned, and the boilers of
last year received into favor, and even sup
ported for office, this. In fact, the divine
right of boiling is becoming to be recogniz-
ed as one ''inestimable to freemen and for
midable to tyrants only Party whips are

GKAss u feel satisfied that Il e
so-called "Alabama Guinea Grass"

what Is known III this section of the

which there is another variety

Charleston. When | was 10y,
this, III" true Jamalca species, was
we'll known in tho city, and cu!-
tlvated It for years. It was proved
that the surcst WY to save the seed
Was to set one plant by Itself, never
cut it, Keep under and around it
clean aud mellow, and allow the
seeds to drop, and the next spring
it Was pretty certain that quite a
number Of young plants would
spring up from them; another plan
was to put a newspaper around
under the plant, and gently shake
down the seed that We're ripe and
perfect. It was always necessary
to transplant the plants to where
they were to remain. For a small
city, Or village garden, I know no
thing that will produce 50 much
green food for COW Or horse, on
the same quantity Of land, for the
summer, as the true jamaica Guinea

There is no mistake in the quality
of the cheese. Itis far better than
nine-tenths of the Northern cheese
brought here, and this is universal
ly admitted. Mr.. McC. says tnat
this climate has peculiar fitness for
the ripcning of cheese to perfection
far superior to Western New York
or Illinois, in both of which he has
had his previous experience, and
he says moreover that the lands
ere equally as we'll adapted to the
grasses as any he has ever known.
Es gives the preference to orchard
grass for permanent pasturagc aud
uniform nutritive qualities.
One Of the NEST encouraging
features of his operations is the
small expense that has attended it.
lie has never bought pound Of
artificial manures. He has been
careful in saving and using what ne
makes or the farm. His whole force
outside of his family, which con-
sists of himself and wife, and small
children, is one hired man. With
these al the work Of the dairy is
over by 8 A. II. The cheese is
pressed and slowed away, and un-
til evening milking time comes
again, the ordinary farm labor IS
pursued without interruption. He
therefore regards his dairy opera
tions as so much net gain.
1t is unnecessary to add any re-
fections. TO those who will profit,
enough is exhibited. 10 those
who are blinded by prejudices, set
in old ways, deaf to all encourage
ment, it is not worth while to
speak.
