road to follow. I admit that it may not be
well or wise:to attempt at a single stride to
reach the desired goal But, sir, 1 would
resolutely set forward; at each step the
journey viii grow shorter and the track
easier.
have said, Mr.. Speaker, that this ques-
ton Is in no sense sectional one with me,
SO far as my action is guided. But, sir,
1 confess that the duty of voting as shall
becomes more agreeable in view of the fact
that it happens to conform to the interests
of my constituents. We hear a great deal
said about protection to industry on this
floor. Sir, am in favor of protecting in
dustry. But have yet to learn why it is
less incumbent on us to protect the indus
try of the millions who toll in the grain
fields of the West or the cotton-felds of the
South, than it is to protect those who labor
in thssmanufactories of New England or
the iron mines of Pennsylvania
For many years we of the West and
South have been taxed for the benefit of
less favored portions of the country. We
have sold our agricultural products at the
prices which they would bring in the great
markets of the world, less the cost of get
ting them there. But we have been COM
PEELED to pay not only the prices of those
things we buy in the great markets of the
world, but large additional sums in many
cases to add to the profits of our own fell
low-citizens. Prices, consequently, of all
we have had to sell have for years been
meagre and low. Prices of everything we
have had to buy have been extravagantly
high. No wonder, sir, that trade is dull in
New York and Boston. The secret is a
plain one, if you would only see it. We of
the West are your customers. We are too
poor to buy your goods. We have been
selling at low prices and buying at high
prices, until we have no longer the means
to take our usual supply. What are the
consequences? Trade is dull in the great
manufacturing and distributing centres;
and, as consequence of that, prices of
manufactured goods are coming down.
We of the West and South are at last able
to purchase our iron and cotton cloth at a
more reasonable rate than we have done for
years. We have been selling our products
low for years. Not let us try buying our
| goods low for q while.
1 have taken the trouble to examine with
some care the emarket reports at Cincinnati,
the great central market of the continent,
for some years past; and, on the whole, it
has had the effect of convincing me that it
is not for the interests of those represent
that the currency should be inflated l

In the Spring of the year 1862, sick from gen.
eral debility caused by Overwork want of sleep and
proper rest. 1 was very weak and much emacfated.
l tried many remedies without receiving any bene-
fit from any of them, until was persuaded to try
VIGITINE. Before had taken this one week, my
improved condition gave me renewed hope and
courage. continued to take it every day, gaining
more strength, until was completely restored to

eral debility, is indeed marvellous.

Cooling Milk.

In relation to the cooling of milk, the
following are the views given before the
American Dairymen's Convention, by
Mr. Arnold, who said that the circum-
stances in cooling milk for butter and
cheese are different The odor in milk
is condensible in a liquid form, By
driving off the vapOr with heat, it can
be condensed again into a volatile oil,
with a slight color. At 60 degrees it be-
comes solid. If we take milk from the
COW and cool it to So degrees, we leave
the oil in the milk to do its mischief. 1t
is necessary, therefore, to allow the
milk to be above sixty for some time to
allow the odor to escape.
He had known cases where III TX was
cooled in twelve hours time, so that it
would keep sixty hours. Again, cream
will rise more rapidly when the milk is
kept warm. If you cool the milk down
to 50 degrees there are some portions of
the cream that do not rise. Another ad-
vantage is that fats expand more by
heat than does water Hence they
will be kept down when cool by the fric-
ton of the thick portions of the milk.
If a system could be invented to raise
the temperature of the milk to 130 de-
grees and then cool, the odor would near
ly all escape and the cream nearly all
raise.
The following experiment that he
made to test this point was given: Three
pans of milk were used. One was plac-
ed upon the snow. the other kept in the
milkroom, and the third heated. The
last pan showed a complete rise of cream
and escape of the animal odor. The
other two showed the presence of ami
NAL odor and a retarding in the rise of
the cream. The pan placed upon the
snow showed. very little cream. Other
oders in the milk it was claimed may be
driven off by heating.

Walking Horses.

One of the most desirable and vaiu-
able gaits for horse is a walk, and it
should be the aim to first develop this
gait in the handling of the colt. The
good walker will always make good time
on the road when a days journey is to
be made, without wearing himself, while
the slow moper must be constantly kept
on the trot, if time is to be made. A
horse that will walk five miles per hour
will go as far in a day, confined to this
gait, as an ordinary horse can be driven
when kept half of the time on the trot,
and with much greater ease to himself.
If one-half the pains were taken-by far
mers' boys to make fast walkers of the
youngsters on the farm that is usually
taken to make them trot, the result
would be much more beneficial, and we
would find plenty of teams that could
go their five miles an hour with ease.
But instead of this, as soon as the colt is
brldled, the sole aim of ''the boys" is to
make trotter Of him, and both gaits
are spoiled.
Make the colts walk, boys; make them
extend themselves in a long, sweeping,
square walk, and don't be satisfied with
anything less than five miles an hour.
When he gets to trotting he will 60 all
the faster for this preliminary training
to the walking gait, and if he cannot
trot fast enough to beat Dexter or Gold
smith Maid, or Occident, he will have a
gait that is invaluable for business pur-
poses. We hope to see more attention
paid to fast walking than heretofore
and we respectfully urge upon agricultr-
al societies the Importance of Offering
liberal prizes for walking horses at the
fairs for the coming year.-NqtjonaI

Do Not Neglect TO Thin Out Young Fruit
Young trees should be allowed TO bear
only a few specimens, as their growth
and healthy development will be Of far
more value than the fruit. Ii is ruinous
TO Young trees to mature a full crop OF
fruit. Thisi is one reason why we see 50
many stunted trees. 1t seems dIfhcult
for many people to bring their decision
up to a point which requires them 10
diminish the quantity of fruit upon
their trees. Sometimes they plead want
of time; but this is not admissible, for II
they have not time to attend to the prop
er cultivation of fruit they should aban-
don it altogether The real cause is their
greediness. You can't make them be
lieve that they are the gamers by destroy
ing a portion of the crop, saying that ma
ture is the best judge as to the quantity
of fruit. Such persons have no practi-
cal knowledge OF fruit-raising, and the
sooner they give it up the better it will
be for them, their pockets and reputa-
tions.
As soon as pear and peach trees begin
to show their product, the thinning-out
process may be begun at almost any
time. 1t is true the operation can be
performed conveniently only upon such
trees as are not over large. But it should
be especially attended to in young trees,
which frequently overbear, to the great
injury of the health of the trees
as well as the quantity of the fruit.
TO obtain the finest specimens of pears
the specimens should not be allowed |
to grow in clusters, or in contact with
each other, and all that exhibit the
least inperfection should be removed. |
What is lost in number will be doubly |
made up in size and flavor. This should
be remembered. Many persons regard
the thinning-out of peaches, pears and
apples as so much loss. But they are
not judges of fruit and have no knowl-
edge of its proper culture. They want
as large a crop as possible, letting the
quality take care Of itself, no matter
how much the tree is damaged and what
effect it may have on the following years
crop.
Our own practice is to pinch off hun
dreds of pears, apples, peaches and
other fruit. leaving only four to ten or
twenty ON a tree, according to the size.
After tree has been growing vigorously
for four or five seasons, it may be allow
ed to produce small crop.-N Y.

FOUL BROOD IN HIVES. 4. Petit

cause and in some seasons more than

this disease can be easily smelt outside of
the hive; and symptoms of its existence
may be seen in the conduct of the bees.
