THE FRUITS or DEH0CRACT.

Except in the National Government, the
last few months have been period of
democratic ascendancy That party has
controlled the administration OF the legis-
lation of large number Of States. The
result of the elections last fall gave it the
opportunity of showing the stuff OF which
it is made. In such States as Connecticut
and New Hampshire it had acquired pow
er even before that time, 50 that taking
the whole field together there is q wide
stretch Of democratic management and
clear guide to democratic character.
And now where can the people find any
valuable results or any worthy achieve

Our Republican friends in New Hamp-
shire have conducted themselves with ad-
mirable prudence in most trying and
difficult position. Under "a sense of griev-
Gus wrong and outrage, which in many
cases would have led to counter measures
of violence, our friends have simply re-
sorted to what Mr.. Webster called the
"old fashioned New England remedy"
they have carried the case into court 1t
is hardly conceivable that the decision OF
upright and impartial judges should be
against them. but whatever the decision
may be they will like good citizens abide
by it and enforce it. If there be any over
heated zealots among our friends who
counsel a different course. we hope this
advice will not be followed. The strength
of the republican party has always been
in Its order-loving, law abiding character
and we trust that the result III add to oul
reputation in that regard, leaving to the
democrats a monopoly Of the disorganiz
ing revolutionary tactics to which they
seem willing everywhere to resort

The reverse to the republicans in Ohio in

The reyerseto the republicans in Ohio in
1873 was the first in eleven years: That
year there were four candidates in the
field. The result of the vote was as fol-
lows: Noyes 2l3,S37; Allen, PA. 1864 !:
Stewart, 1925; and Collins, 10,109.
This gave the election for Governor TO Bill
Allen, the democratic candidate, but only
by plurality of 8l7 over Noyes, the re-.
publican candidate. In the whole vote
Allen was in minority of 1870
Stewart was the prohibitionist candidate
and Collins the Independent. Last year
the republicans were still divided and
made but little effort at the polls. but this
year there is a better state OF things and II
prospect OF a better result. There will
probably be Il prohibition candidate in the
field but no independent.

Tie department of Agriculture Is now iecev
ing the June returns Of cotton, which viii form
the basis Of the estimates of area Of the present
crop. During May preliminary returns re-
ceived from BIG cotton counties. In sixty-three
counties in Georgia the averaged the same as
last year, as also in the district represented in
North Carolina, Florida and Texas. A reduction
OF one per cent appears in thirty-nne counties in
Alabama; OF two per cent in eighteen counties in
South Carolina and of three per cent in thirty
eight counties in Arkansas. The average rcduc-
ton is eleven per cent in Loui lana and seventeen
in Tennessee, but there are only twenty counties
represented in each that the full returns in June
may make different showing. The season is re-
ported late in nearly every instance, from ten days
to two weeks generally, but in some cases three
and even four weeks. More than two-thirds Of
the returns make the season too wet, especially
in the time of planting and terminating. In some
districts the past two weeks have been too dry.
The stand is reported good in a majority Of the re-
turns from North Carolina, South Carolina, Flori-
da, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas; rather above
the average in Arkansas and Tennessee and
scarcely average in Louisiana. The condition is
represented below the average in Florida, Tenn
essee and Arkansas; slightly below in Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas and average in
Alabama and in the Carolinas.

timothy grass (phlcm pratenso), Italian

timothy grass (phlcm pratenso), italian
grass Qolium Italicum), orchard grass
(dactylis glomerata,) and (pos memorials,
sometimes known rs aspretcnso), Ky. blue
grass). The soil for the reception of
these should be brought into Il perfect
state of tilth by repeated narrowing and
blowing, and the land rolled before SOW
ing;S the seed should then I've sown broad
cast and narrowed in.
Oats, barley and rye are sometimes
sown in winter, but as the preparation of
the soil for the reception Of the seed is
the. very same as wheat, shall pass OH to
grass seeding. r. '-
There arc numerous conflicting opin-
ions as to the depth at which to sow
wheat. Experience, however, has taught
lis that two inches is the proper depth,
two and Il half being the average Heat,
air and moisture are the great agents OF
decomposition, gcrmination being nothing
more or less than gradual decay, or Il
conversion of the starch matter of tho
seeds to sugar. That depth which most
readily promotes this is the one One
inch of soil Of ordinary texture is found
to exclude light, and light being Il par
tial antiscptic to decomposition, it will
readily take place beneath this depth
but as this is insufficient to protect the
little rootlets during winter, I believe
the preceding statements will be, found
perfectly satisfactory
One and Il half pccks of timothy seed
will SOW III acre; one bushcl Italian
grass do; one bushcl orchard grass do
one aud a quarter bushels Kentucky
blue grass do.
In the early spring this land presents
Il spongy appearance, and should bc har
rowed and rolled. Rolling consolidatcs
the soil around the roots, and prevents
that otherwise too great circulation of
air around the roots.

Liquid Manure.

VIM. Il. Rand gives an interesting ac-
count of fexperiments with liquid manure,
in Il recently published report of the COM
missioners of agriculture. He leachcd
soap-suds and house-slops Of every kind
through fresh barn-yard manure. and ap-
piled tho liquid thus obtained to the soil
in his hot-housc, and it increased the tenn
perature and improved the growth of his
flowers and plants to such degree that
1T seemed the work of magic.
BY adding one bushel of fresh wood
ashes to ten of stable manure, and leach
ing soap-suds, etc, through it, he found
the alkali addition had the effect of ma
turing the woody parts of plants, and di-
minishing the vine-growing plants Leach
ing soap-suds, etc, through peck OF
fresh COW droppings, produces a liquid
which had a very beneficial effect upon
vine-growing plants, and the contrary eff
feet on fruit-grcwing ones.
During his experiments, in order to
obtain IL valuable liquid manure for
universal use, Mr.. Rand filled his hopper
with variety Of dccaying animal and
vegetable matter, such as rotten wood,
decaycd weeds, refuse meats, old bones,
lime, ashes, old leather, slops, etc, in
fact, everything of perishable nature
on the farm. 4 covering of lime, ashes
and sand, kept fermentation beneath the
surface of the mass. In the liquid
which oozcd through, bag of charcoal
was placed, to deodorize il.
In order to test the value of this
liquid, he made three beds for onions
sets. One of these was made Of good
soil, into which rotten compost, and well
decomposed barn-yard manure was work,
ted. ..ln-another phosphates and patent
fertilizers pere incorporated with the soil.
In the third bed the soil was spaded up
and saturated with the liquid manure.
The result was decidedly in favor of the
latter, tfor the soil prepared with it was
50 productive that the onions matured
and were eaten in the spring, before the
remainder were large enough for use. A
similar result attended the application
of the liquid to parsnips, beets and cab
bages: Liquid manure is much more
beneficial in a dry season than in a moist
one its advantages over solid manure be
ing very striking during the former
season and very slight during the latter.

Baulky Horses.

Professor Jennings, of the Veterinary
College of Philadelphia says:
- "A man to control Il horse, must first
learn to control himself"
Baulking is the most aggravating OF
all faults to which the horse is subject
yet, by patience, observance and good
management, even this habit can be
broken up. They resist because we fail
to make them understand what we re-
quire of them; or it may occur from
overlooking, sore shoulders, or working
till tired out. Particular is this the
case with young animals.
As soon as Il horse is made tO.undcr-
stand what is required of him, he be
comes a willing subject. To attempt to
prehend, or to use the whip under such
only excites him to more
determined resistance. Professor Jenn-
ings' remedy, which fully sustains the
opinion of other great horse students, is
as follows:
Con the first attempt of your horse to
baulk, get out, pat and rcassure him
with kind words, carefully examine the
harness. then jump in and speak to him
AS if you expected him to 60. This is
generally eftactual."
,Bentwright, the. American horsc-tamer,
says of this subject: ~ q,
!" If you have a baulky horse it is your
own fault sand not the horses. If
team does not pull true there is some
cause for it, and if you will remove the
cause tile effect vii! cease. When yoir
horse baulks he is excited, and does not
know what you want him to do.

REVIVAL OF THE IRON INDUSTRIES.
There are some indications, we are, glad
to say, of turn for the better in the iron
industries of the west and southwest.
Furnaces which have been out of, blast
for months, are now again blowing, though
there is some trouble among them in con-
sequence of the inadequate supply Of the
quality of coal necessary for theI ss:se
The Pennsylvania works in MANY leases
arc running on full time and with heavy
forces, particularly those engaged in the
manufacture of rails, sheet iron and agr-
cultural implements. This is tgood
sign. The nail manufactures of Ohio
also report renewed activity. From other
localities given to the maftdacsettIiSt5 Of
specialties, alike improvement is reported.

idle to very great extent, and can now
be obtained at much lower rates-an I'M
