Union Among Cracker Men.

A meeting of the cracker bakers of the
country favorable to the formation of
national union among that class of busi-
ness men was held on the 9Th and 9th insts.
at St. Louis. Mr.. Jesse Stone represented
the firm of Messrs Woodard and Stone. Of
this city, at the meeting. The association
formed adopted the designation of ssThe
Cracker and Biscuit Manufacturers Asso-
citation OF the United States and its OBJ
ject declared to be to promote harmony
am ong those engaged in this department of
industry, believing that concert of action
will redeem many existing evils. A resolu.
ton was adopted expressing deep interest
in the Centennial Exposition of 1876 and
favoring the erection and running of a
bakery on the Centennial grounds. The
meeting adjourned to meet in Philadelphia
on the llth day OF July, 1875.

Assembly Conventions.

The Democratic yeomanrY of the first
Assembly district of Jefferson County com
prlsing this city and the towns of Water
town and Ixonia will hold their convent on
for the nomination of assemblyman on Sat-
urday next at the saloon of G. T. Lott.
AS the time for the convention hastens on
the candidates willing to wear the Assem-
bly, livery become more numerous.
Among the prominent candidates from this
city we hear the names of Mr.. M. j. Gal
lagher and Mr.. P. Rogan men toned. Mr..
Thomas Shinnick, of the town of Water
town, who formerly had the distinguished
honor of representing the district, is not
unwilling to again enter. assembly halls,
and become law giver of the people
Then we have Mr.. John Rutledge and Mr..
John Glib, of Ixonia. both bearing on
their shoulders ripe legislative experience,
who would not turn away from the nomi-
nation if rendered them at this time as
loathsome thing. We believe it is under
stood among our reform friends that the
towns will insist gon claiming the nomina
tIon of assemblyman this year and the
convention may find this troublesome and
vexed question 20 grapple with.
The reform Assembly convention for the
I'd Jefferson County District, will be held
at Lake Mills on Saturday next, October
10th. J.
The Republicans of the Sd Assembly

The democratic-reform convention to
nominate an assemblyman to represent the
9th assembly district of Dodge County,
comprising the towns of Ashippun, En-
Fred. Hermans Garden in the 6;h Ward
last saturde ~, October 9th. After tedious,
exciting aud stormy session that extended
-su.u the night, Mr.. Tno,.- .tsrufn,- -v.-r,..-
NETT, was nominated For a number
of ballots the delegates divided their
strength between Mr. Q Meara Mr. j. Drs-
coll, of Shields, and Mr.. J. Marshall, of Ash :
ippun. A compromise between the O. Meara
ties and Driscoltes effected the result.
The convention had to deal with the ques-
ton OF double delegation from Shields, one
set representing Mr.. James Higgins, of
that town, who was a candidate, and the
other set representing Mr. Drisc II, ais o
of Shields. Contrary to general expecta-
tions, the Driscol delegates were admitted
and the Higgins delegates denied seats in
the convention. The proceedings showed
that reform is sadly needed among our stre-
form brethren in Dodge County, ard we
believe the work of the convention will
create lively times in the district, an
independent candidate being mentioned to
run against the regular nominee. This
would make the fight in the 9Th district
the same as last year, when Mr. O'Meara,
then, as well as now, the regular nominee,
was opposed b9 Mr.. H. CRUDE and de :

10000 Republican Majority
The Rag-Baby Smothered

The Republicans of the State of
Ohio achieved glorious victory at
the election for State officers, Tues
day Oct. 18th, electing Governor
Hayes, and the balance of their
State ticket, by a majority estimated
at 10000. This is sumner to the
rag money democracy, and sinks
Bill Allen and his foil overs out of
sight. This glorious result will add
5000 votes to the Republican
columns in Wisconsin this fall, and
shows to the Republicans of Wis
consin what can be accomplished by
dint of hard work and full vote of
the party. What the democracy
will turn their sails to next, remains
to be seen, but their case as it stands
at present, is desperate and some
thing must be done.

AGRICULTURAL.

To GET LAND INTO GRAss.-ln an
swer to a New Jersey correspondent,
the Rural New Yorker says " We
should advise shallow blowing Of such
soil as the best preparation for get
ting it into grass. Still q thorough
authorization of the surface to make
a good seed bed would answer. If
intended for permanent pasture, SOW
this fall a mixture Of Timothy and
June Grass. 1t is probable that the
land is not rich enough, and in that
case SOW mixture of Orchard grass
and Glover next spring with one bush
ell of oats and barley per acre. The
clover will be the chief crop the first
wear, and should be let grow without
pasturing TIL it blossoms. Orchard
grass will spread rapidly as the clover
runs out. Donot pasture the orchard
grass until the sod is fully established
After that the closer browsed it is
kept the better. Sheep are just the
stock to feed down orchard grass, as
they bite close and distribute their
manure evenly.

Cur FEED FOR UoRsES.-An accu-
rate farmer has furnished the Country
Gentleman q statement Of his eXpo-
rienco with feeding cut feed and meal
to his horse, accompanied with weigh
ing and measuring. lie cuts oats and
straw about an inch long with raw
hide cylinder machine and this chop
ped straw is then treated with corn
meal and bran mixed III about equal
quantities as to weight, so that each
horse has about bushcl Of cut feed
and three quarts of the meal and bran
twice in each day. Sometimes hay is
cut instead Of oat straw, or both are
mixed 1t is found that two hundred
pounds per week of this mixture of
cornmeal and bran, added to the cut
feed will keep pair of working
horses in The best condition. This, he
IS satisfied from experience, is less
than two-thirds cost Of keeping them
on uncut dry and whole grain. The
cornlneal alone is not so good for hor-
SEES as whea mixed with bran. An
excellent meal is made Of ground
oats. The fodder is cut by horse pow
er, on stormy or spare days, and stored
in large bins so as to furnish always
surplus on hand.
