The Way it il Done.

The campaign OH the part of the De-
mocracy has assumed the character of a
a game of bluff" and "blOw." The
most outrageous statements are made
and sent out to deceive the Ignorant rank
and file of the Bourbon party, who are
held by the thought that they are
going to be on the winning side. The
chairman of the Ohio Democratic State
committee has sent out the following cir
cular to the Tilden organs of that state,
and the organs obey orders of course.

Last week a couple of young men came
to this place and engaged in selling
maps. After being here several days
they were arrested and taken before JUS
tice Sutton for peddling without IL
ccnse. The young men claim that there
is United States law exempting litera-
ture, books, maps, &C., from taxation, and
that under this law the village had no
right to tax them in this way. HOwev-
err, not having time to spend in contest

Mr.. w. Atlce Burpee writes as fol.
lows to the american Fancsers' Ga.
zette.: cit has generally been believ.
ed by farmers, and the belief is still
prevalent, that it is ridiculous to
make poultry pay such enormous
profits as are claimed for it; they
laugh at the idea of 100 per cent prof:
it yet even more than that can be OBJ
tanned by poultry breeding. 1t
would, no doubt, be preposterous to
say so, unless proof endorse the state
ment, but facts substantiate it, and
some of the largest and best breeders
In the country show, year after year,
that these present results can be OBJ
tanned. What wonld some of our
farmers say If they were told that
poultry pays as much as 500 per
cent? The French have reached to q
greater knowledge of successful poul-
try raising than any other nation,
and they claim this immense profit,
and there is not the slightest doubt
but that their large profit is no exag-
geration, but reality. In this coun-
try it is known that poultry can be
made to pay at least 200 per cent,
and we dare say that even larger
result may be obtained. Now farm
ers, what do you say to this? Is there
not some inducement to pay greater
attention to this hitherto Compare
lively neglected branch of rural in
dustry? We are confident that YOU
can realize more profit from poultry
raising, provided You attend to them
properly, than from anything on
your farm. BE wise and begin next
fall by Kidding yourself of your mon
grels, and commence with some real
ly good birds"

A famer writes that he and his
ncighbors, having some grain to carry
to market, took the precautlon to ac-
curately weigh it before leaving
home. The buyer made the loads
four to six bushels less than they
should be. One of the farmers had
no evidence of his home weight, and
could do nothing, as the grain
was already mixed with that in store.
The other had Il witness Of the
weight of his grain on the home
scales, and compelled the buyer to
pay the full amount. There is little
doubt that such frauds are often
attempted these hard times, when
buyers profits are light. Every
neighborhood at least ought to have
platform scales, and many farmers
could much better afford to buy them
than to sell their produce exclusively
at buyers weight.-Syracuse Cour-

Classi flcation of Soils.

A farmer who conducts his bust
ness-his farming operations-inteli-
gently, knows something more about
the nature Of his soil than that it is
clay, sand or loan. He acquaints
himself with its characteristics, no.
tees results, and obtains much useful
and valuable knowledge from his ex-
perlence in regard to its requirements.
"A few primary facts in connection
with different kinds of soils are worth
fixing in the mind. The basis of
soils are the rocks, and they are clas-
sihed by Prof. johnson, according to
their clayey, or sandy proportions, as
follows:
Pure clay, from which no sand
can be washed.
2.-Strong clay or brick clay, which
contains from five to twenty per cent
of sand.
3.-Clay loan, which contains from
twenty to forty per cent of sand.
4.-Loam, which has from forty to
seventy per cent of sand.
5.-Sandy loan, which has from
seventy to ninety per cent of sand.
6.-Light sand, which has less than
ten per cent of clay.
Sandy soils, then, are those which
consist mainly of grains of sand, or
silica, or flint, and is called a silicious
soil. Nature never bestowed upon
man soil of greater capabllity of
being made lastingly fertile than the
sandy, light soil of New England.
Gravelly soils need no description,
though there are rich gravels and
poor gravels depending upon the
rocks of which they are composed
and the substances which are mixed
among them.
Clay soils consist largely OF alum
ina, that is, having such an abund-
ance of clay that it Is called the
"clay metal" Clay itself is a com
pound of silica (san0 acid, alumina
and water. 1t also contains potash,
soda, and lime. 1t forms a compact,
fatty earth, soft to the touch, sticky
IN a moist state, and very hard when
dry.
Chalky soils have been formed
from rocks in which lime was abund-
ant.
Peaty soils need no description, al
though they differ very widely.
Alluvial soils are formed by depos-
its of sand, loan and gravel, brought
down by rivers. They are often very
rich, being composed of multitude
of thin layers of mud, in which all
sorts Of tertillzing material is mixed.
Loamy soils contain a large portion
of decayed matter, humus or muck,
as we call it. Woody fibre in a state
of decay acquires dark color, and
ultimately becomes mold. Loan
contains variety of ingredient, as
clay, sand, lime, in addition to humus.
1t is loose, friable description of
soil, easy of cultivation, and as to
texture is most desirable description
of land for all the purposes of til
lage.
Soils have the singular property of
absorbing, retaining and parting with
the elements of fertility without ma
terially altering their weight, bu' k or
texture. They are fertile or barren,
according as they abound or are de-
ticient in the substances which enter
INTO the composition Of plants

Be Social with yonr Cattle.

Said a farmer to me last spring.
"When we were drawing out manure
l let the boys drive to the lot, and |
staid in the yard because l could put
on better loads. And the cows com
menced to give more milk right off"
Now this man is an active, industri-
Gus, intelligent, experienced farmer;
and yet, when he is piling manure in
the yards his cows give pcrcep,ible
increase in their milk. Why? One
of his handsome grade short horns
that he is SO proud of, seeing him
around, goes up to him and says, as
plain as COW can say: "Give me a
lock of hay" and he gives it to her.
Another says: "Air. Stevens, don't
you think that rack wants cleaning
out?" And on looking, he finds to
his surprise that there is lot of dirt,
and wet hay seed, and rubbish at the
bottom. He scrapes it all out and
rubs it clean with some straw, and as
soon as his load is filled and he is
waiting for the next wagon he gets
little feed and puts it in the rack, and
the COWS eat it and feel grateful
Between the next loads he takes the
curry-comb and brush, and gives one
of the COWS good cleaning. The
other cows come round him and
he has gentle word and friend
ly nat for each of them. He is a
good looking man and the cows like
to look at him. He Is n gentleman,
and his presence has a soothing eff
feet. They chew the cud of content
ment and peace. AS he goes past
the pump he asks the cows if they
want little fresh water. They had
not thought about it, but they drink
just little to please him. And so it
goes on all day. No wonder the
cows give more milk at night.-.1m,

Old Who t for Seed.
Il. w. H., in Rural World.


Several years ago, when lived in
Saline county, Missouri, my attention
was called to an article in the Ruval
World, which set forth that the pre-
vious years growth of wheat, was
better for seed than that grown the
season of sowing. Also, that it
would mature sooner and produce
several bushels on an average mare
to the acre. ! have given it trial
and found it to be the case. l con-
slider old wheat for sowing worth one
third more per bushel than new
wheat.
Wheat, in order to produce a
healthy plant, should be sound. In
purchasing old wheat, be careful to
ascertain whether it has been in large
bulk or not. 1t would be a good
plan to test sample, say pint of
the seed, and see what proportion of
the seed fails to sprout.
If the seed is perfectly sound and
rains are frequent, when the time
comes for sowing, | think one bushel
of seed will be enough to the acre.
| intend to experiment some in this
direction. take particular pains to
SOW only the largest ana plumpest
grains, and run my wheat through
the fan-turned rapidly so that only
the heaviest kernels work down into
the discharging spout. | use a drill
which gives the wheat plants ample
room in which to tiller and spread.
Where my fields are exposed, say to
a strong southwest wind during the
winter, I run my drill from the south
east to the the northwest regardless
Of the fences which surround the
field. This is a little more trouble
but it pays, for then the dirt on the
little ridges between the drill rows.
is blown toward and upon the roots
of the wheat plants.
A word about the management of
wheat in the shock in wet seasons.
After the wheatis shocked and capped
no matter if it does begin to grow,
let it alone and not be continually
spreading it in the sun to dry. My
experience is, if wheat is let alone,
there will be greater proportion of
sound wheat when you come to thresh
1t, than there will be if you keep all
the time to work at it. l think my
This season has convinced
some of my ncighbors of the correct
ness of my practice: | hope other
wheat growers will send their views
for publication-it is by comparison
Of the views of practical farmers that
progress can be made.
