Farmers, let me caution you against the
folly of carting your manures upon your
field and spreading them for week or
longer before you plow them under. II
this be done in the spring, with warm
sun and high, drying winds, large por-
ton of them, or, rather, of their fertility,
will pass off in the atmosphere. Don't
be deceived in this matter while your oil
factory nerves bear pungent evidence of
the truth of what L say. You cannot
afford to work your farms on this wasting
principle Manure is money, and if one
should see you scattering grcenbacks"
over the field, on some windy day. the
evidence of your insanity would be but q
little more tangible than when you spread
your manures and leave them to evaporate

RbeumstIsnn symptom OF Other Dis



The alarming extent Of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent In.
vcstigation. IL has lately been aseertained
that the disease Is the result OF other COM
plicated diseases OF the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbcnts, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. IL Is
also found that, by the removal OF the COM
plicatcd disease, the rheumatism disappears,
as a result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with Joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms Of these diseases
arc generally present in cases of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease TO be an effect
To remove these diseases the surest rem
edy can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT

to be working many cures. We refer TO

A Ride for Life.

A physician in deaths row." who Is
noted for the number of amusing scrapes
in which he becomes involved, went to
visit patient named Hildebrandt, about
mile and u half this side of Walton,
yesterday, and after making his call, dis
covered that it was too late for him to
reach Walton in time for the train, but
10y riding horseback to a station about
three miles this side, he might be able to
reach the depot in time for the cars. Ac-
cordingly he and companion, who was
to lead his horse back from the station,
started out, and after going about half a
mile struck the railroad and rode toward
the station, on the track. They had tray
eled about quarter of annie in this man
ner when they heard locomotive whistle
as the train drew in to Walton. 1t was
too late to turn back, and the grade was
too high to attempt to ride off the track,
so they whipped up their horses and drove
down the track as fast as their horses
could go. But the doctors horse was a
very rough saddle horse, and they had
gotten over very little ground before
the M. ID, was taken with very severe
"stitch" in the back. The situation was
critical. He was unable to "tly the
track" his lack bothered him so that he
could hardly repress the groans that rose
to his lips, and the engine was coming
down the grade at arattling rate of speed,
A cry of anguish escaped his lips. his
heart rose to his throat, and, letting go
the reins, he wound his arms around the
neck Of the horse, and gritting his teeth
to keep from crying out, away he went.
He reached the station about dozen
yards ahead of the train (Which had been
whistling at him all the way down the
grade) in an exhausted and almost help
less condition, and on arriving in the city
went directly to bed, fully satisfied with
his experience in horseback riding on a
railroad track -LOGdaSpOrt (Ind,) PharOS.

The Republican Party.

WHEN the noble ship casts its anchor in
port of safety feeling of gratitude fills
the hearts OF all on board They render
thanksgiving and praise for the staunch
vessei and skillful seamanship that have
brought them safely through danger, and
thanks to that Divine hand that has kept
a faithful watch over both; To say that
the good slip has breasted the storm and
outrode the gale, has finished its work
and should be dismanllcd in the harbor it
has reached, would call forth protest of
earnest Indignation.
The Republican party may justly be
likened 10 noble ship. 1t has brought
its precious freight, the liberties OF peo-
pie and the life Of nation, safely through
the storms and tempests of protracted
voyage, A thousand tongues have spoken
its praise; whole nation has united in
uttcriDg thanks TO the Providence that
created the party and guided it through
the fiery trials of the past fifteen years
Base, indeed, must be that citizen who
in the face of dangers overcome, and the
triumphs won for justice and humanity
can say that its work is finished, and that
the nation saved through its fidelity needs
its services no longer.-RepuJlte Mdga-

Raising Rye for SOiling Cattle.

DESIRE to directthe attention OF the
farmer readers of the New York Herald to
rye as an article of green food for cattle in
the spring of the year In the autumn OF
1874 concluded to test its value for early
pasturage or cutting, and accordingly put
in about three acres. The soil was tile
thinnest on my farm, and for that reason
not well adapted to wheat. The rye grew
beautifully, and early in March it would
have afforded fine grazing, but as l wished
it for cutting did not turn the cattle on
it. Early in May it was fit for the scythe,
and at that time we commenced to cut and
feed it. During the whole Of the month
of MAY nv cattle were fed with a bOunti-
full supply of rich, suCculcnt food,
which not only kept them all in fine con
dition and largely increased the yield of
my milCh cows, but also enabled me to
reserve for hay field of seven acres Of
clover, which had set apart for pasture,
and which should have been compelled
to use for that purpose but for the green
rye from the three acres. | am perfectly
satisfied that every small farmer like my
self will find it greatly to his advantage TO
put in two or three acres of rye to be used
in the spring as above related. Another
advantage derived from it was the saw
ing of manure. My cattle during the
greater part of the time were kept in the
barnyard, and the large increase of my
manure heap was readily pcrceptible and
gratifying. Spring rye, If sowed in the
former part of the growing season on land
of fair fertility, will yield as large a crop
as winter rye, although the growth from
the spring rye will not mature so carly as
the fall rye.-AgrtcOla; IN ". J. Herdld

Tax paying closes next Monday, and In
the meantime things are lively at the
offices OF the city and county tressurers.
Mr.. Landers has seven clerks assisting
him, and keeps his offics open until a
late hour in the evening. BY doing this
the workingmen are enabled TO pay their
taxes without suffering q deduction in
the daily wages tor lost time. The admin
istration of the county tressurer's office,
under Mr.. Landers, is in strong contrast
with the manner In which IL was con-
Quoted by his Republican predecessor, Mr..
Riley. This the people know and appreciate.
Il affords Us pleasure to state that the city
treasurer, Mr.. Tutewiler, also keeps his
Office open OF evenings for the sccommo-
dation of taxpayers. There has been
great Improvement In the manner in
which the tax offices in this city have been
conducted since the present incumbents
were elected.

The state Convention.

The Republicans politicians of this state
who remember the want of enthusiasm
with which their party nominatious were
received, and the continued deafness ofthe
party, nothing like cordially entering
upon the canvass by the press and the
people being discovered, await with ex-
pectstion the assent ling of the Democ-
racy next to-day, hoping that disor-
ganization and discord will render the
Democratic party in as bad fix as their
own. They will be disappointed. There
is no dictator at Washington for the II
diana Democracy. The Democratic masses
that will assemble here In immense num-
bers may be divided in sentiment as to who
shall lead in the state contest, but that is
to be expected in party that has no dicta-
tor. .Cliques and lotteries will not rule
the convention, but the honest and open
expression of public opinion in policy and
for candidates will rule, and the party
will, after decision is made, heartily join
in the contest for victory. There is plenty
of good material to choose from, and VIZ
are sure that either of the prominent
gentlemen named for the place will heart
lily indorse the action of the convention,
whatever it may be.

Morton has Teen for some time prepar-
ing his case against Blaine. Ever since
Blaine enlisted as a champion OF the
bloody shirt, and contested with Morton
for the prize belt, the latter has looked
upon his rival with an envious eye. Each
party had his hackers, and 1t has been
amusing to hear and read the bosstings Of
their respective followers. Mor.on's friends
heard with amsZement that Blaine was
capturing come of the Northwest
ern states, and, by reason of his
bloody shit speech, would divide the
Southern vote with Morton. But the rapid
strides made by this rival In the bloody shirt
business caused very little alarm to Nor
ton and his supporters. Why they main
tanned such complacency the public could
not understand But the secret Is now
out. Morton had his emisssries at work
and secretly the delegates were to be In
formed OF Blsine's transaction with the
Union Pacific.
Now let Blaine make up his case against
Morton. Let him call for the expenditures
made by Morton In fitting out the regi-
mepts sent by this state, and COM
pare them with those made by other
states. Let him find, if he can, II there
was any loyal governor outside of In
diana who paid for the transportation of
single regiment. before 1t lett the state,
the enormous sum of 900.
There are many items of interest which
Blaine can utilize, and if ne does his work
thoroughly, Morton's epsaDguined shirt
will trail in the dust, along with that OF
his own, and the country will be happy.
There will then be no one left to unfurl
the bloody banner to the breeze.

Where Did He Get n?

There are men in Congress who nave
grown immensely rich during their terms
of service there, while they have at the
same time lived in style more ex-
pens,ye than their salaries would warrant.
But fe of these have been so successful
in professional work at home or in busi-
ness speculations as to accumulate for
tunes in q few years. The question at
once arises how did they get rich? Some
men make money specializing, but they
do not get itch suddenly. 1t takes long
time, and with assiduous attention to &C
cumulate money that way. II a man has
q halt million to start with, and has bust
ness capacity, he may turn it over two or
three times IN a dozen years, but for poor
men to start in with nothing, and pres
emily give all the evidences of plethoric
purse, heavy bank balance, and build
brown stone fronts, suggests something
questionable. 1t makes one think be
gpmbles or steals. Blaine entered Cot
gress poor. He used to teach school. Now
he Is said 70 De the richest man In Maine,
and 1t is not all in Arkansas bones. In
fact, it is not known now that he possesses
a single security of that kind. His friend
Scott relieved him of all that sort OF collat
erals. He is rich outside of such evil
dences of credit. Where did he get it?
The Harrison story will account for
small fraction of his wealth, but there are
immensesums besides this not accounted
for. Just at this time the American peo-
pie don't want such a man for president.

THE CALL FOR REFORM CONFER sNcE Io
BE HELD IN NEW YORK, MAY l."
The New York dispatches Of Saturday
spoke of q call for conference signeG' by
Mr.. Bryant, ex-President Woolsey, Go v.
Bullock, Horace White and Carl Schurz.
The following is the text of the call:
NEW YORK, April 6, 1876.
DEAR SIR-The widespread corruption
in our public service, which has disR raced
the republic in the eyes of the world and
threatens to poison the vitality OF our in
stitutloDs, the uncertainty OF the public
mind and of party, couDsels grave
economical questions, involving, in great
measure, the honor of the government, the
morality of our business life and the gen.
eral well being OF the people, and the dan
ger that an inOrdinate party spirit M y,
through the organized actions OF a cons-
paratively small number of men, who live
by politics, succeed in overriding the most
patriotic impulses of the people and in
monopoliziDg political power for selisn
ends, seem to render it most desirable that
10 effort should be spared to secure TO the
popular desire tor genuine reform de-
cisive influence in the impending national
election. Mindful of the fact that this
patriotic desire is honestly struggling for
effective expression inside OF existing
political organizations. as IL Is also strong
outside of them, and believing that by all
proper means it should be ENCOURAGED and
made to prevail, the undersigned invit@
you to meet them and others OF like pur-
pose, who have been invited in the same
manner, in a free conference to consider
what may be done to prevent the national
election Of the centennial year from be-
coming a mere choice of evils, and to
secure the election of men to the highest
offices of the republic whose character and
ability will satisfy the exigeDcies of our
present situation and protect the honor OF
the American name. Toe conference will
be held in the city of New York, on the
18th of May. You are respectfully and ur-
gently requested to be present, and to COM
municate your acceptance OF this invita-
ton to III. @. Lodge, Esq, post office box
