IL Governor Hayes should be
elected by the vote of South Caro-
lima, it is reported the Democratic
House will object, under the twenty
second joint rule, to accepting the
vote of that State, and thus defeat
the election of Hayes. The New
York Tribune, however, calls the
attention of the Democracy to the
fact that no joint rules have vet
been adopted by the Forty-fourtb
Congress. 1t says:
The practice has been at the omen.

adopting the rules of the previous

At the last session, however, the

AUTHORIZATIONS.

Let us recall fact reZa riding the
canvass in Indiana that may serve "a 8
hint TO speakers in our own and other
western States. The Democratic ora
tors almost Invariably denounced the
resumption act and detained against
contraction. Whenever q Democratic
hard-money advocate was placed on
the stump he had sense enough, or. If
he had not, was loaned q sufficient
quantity of that commodity, to hold
his tongue regarding the finance, Not
SO with the Republicans. The gentle
men Of hard-mOney views imported
20 stump the State had perfect conf
dence in their ability to talk the most
distsstelul of all doctrines to Repnbli-
cans and convince them of their errors.
They never were more mistaken. The
people of Indi4na, without distinction
OF party, are almost unanimously op-
posed TO the resumption act and the
policy of contraction. The State con-
ventions of all three parties took
ground against these heresies. Al
most every Congressional district
passed resolutions opposing them.
1t would have been q sensible thing II
speakers from abroad had recognized
this state of things, and not antago-
nized almost daily the convictions OF
Republicans instead OF endeavoring to
convert the Democratic sinners whom
they were sent into the field to con-
vince. Take the Cooper men as an
Illustration. It should have been the
policy of Republicans TO conciliate and
win over these voters, who really held
the balance of power in the State. In
stead of doing this, large proportion
of Eastern speakers absolutely did all
in their power to drive these men into
the Democratic fold. 1t was q stupen-
dous blunder, and the party as whole
is now paying the penalty. We are
really inclined to believe that If the
campaign in Indiana had been left to
Western speakers alone, and to such
from the East as had the wisdom to
refrain from obtruding their objection
able financial views, the State would
have been saved. 1t will be well ii
the Republicans Of Illinois heed this
lesson and profit by it.-Inter Ocean.

If the Democrats carry ninety
elk of the Congressional Represent
AtiVes to which the "Solid South is
entitled, they would have to elect
only fifty-One Representatives in the
other States, or not much more than
two to q State, to retain control OF
the popular branch of the next Con-
gross. Republicans will see from
these figures the Importance of the
Congressional contest.

1t will bear repetition to say that
the center of the political battle lie

Indiana to the Republicans makes it
not impossible, but rather difficult,
to figure out the election of Hayes

safe to bet upon it.

1t is possible the Republicans may
fail to carry New Jersey, but on the
other hand they have an even
chance of electing their ticket in
North Carolina, which is Q very
hopeful State, as there are white
Republicans enough to afford very
considerable protection to the col
ored voters. And then Indiana
may be won for Hayes in Novem-
Der. The State has not gene Demo-
cratic foE President since 1856
twenty years ago. The Democrats
have almost always carried Indians
on the of-years, and sometimes at
the October election of the Presi-
Dental year, as was the case ia 1872,
but at the November election has
always given its vOte for the Repub-
l1can candidate for the Presidency,
and, If precedent be followed, will
do it again. But leaving this chance
out OF count, We have named the
States that can elect Hayes without

fectly sure of electing Hayes. With

Manure sar Grass.


No crop gets less attention than grass.
# manpred At an i j. oaly ineiaebtally
with some other crop-rarcly for itself
alone. Corn, wheat and barley get the
manure, and when seeded the young clover
takes what is left Amer this, if the field
be pastured, the droPpings Of animals, left
in Jumps over the field are all the lands
get till they are plowed again. This is
considered improving the soil and il is.
No matter how mismanaged, clover is a
benefit, and whatever else he may do, the
farmer who sows and grows clover, is
making his farm better What, then,
might not the result be If the same care
were taken Of the clover field as Of other
crops2 1t does not need cultivation; the
long deep reaching roots mellow and pull
verize the soil as nothing else eau. If the
clover grows thriftily, the top acts as
mulch, shading the ground and keeping
it moist. A crop Of two tons or more Of
clover, whether pIowed under or cut for
hay, can hardly fail to leave the soil better
than it was before. 1t should be the far
mers aim to grow the largest possible
crops Of clover A slight dressing Of
gypsum-oue hundred pounds per acre in
early spring-often produces wonderful
results. But if farmer has little well
rOtted manure, the scrapings Of barn-yards,
fall is the time to apply it. Clover is often
injured by freezing and thawing winters,
and a very slight covering Of manure will
afford great deal of protection. Rich
earth from the corner of fences, is well
worth drawing short distance on young
clover, provided the ground is hard and

Breaking Colts.


Farmers should commence breaking
their colts when year old, by doing many
things to accustom them to bride, har.
ness, &C. Put on collar with harness
and traces occasionally, and lead him about
at FIRST the traces being thrown over bis
back; the next time the traces to a white
tree, and let.one person hold il up by tying
a short rope to it, long enough to be out
Of the reach Of bis heels, while another
person may lead him by halter. After
week or two the colt may be hitched to
the fore wheels Of light wagon aud led
around gently; aud while he is before the
wheels and held by halter, let person
touch his hind legs lightly, to accustom
him by degrees to be knocked considera-
bly,, so that when he is worked, and any
thing strikes his legs by accident he will
not be frightened. The writer once so
accustomed a young horse to knocks about
the hind legs when in harness that If a log
Of wood had fallen against his legs he
would have remained perfectly still. Such
a trait in horse is valuable. On one
occasion this animal, only three years old,
was before a sleigh filed with ladies,
which was upset By accident, turned al.
most bottom side up, his legs receiving a
pretty hard thump, yet he took it as coOlly
as if that was in his daily programme, and
stood perfectly still. 1t pays to break
colts in this way.

Old and New Strawberry Beds.

A great many old strawberry beds are
now complete mass Of plants, too thick
to produce good crop of fruit. Take a
common farm hoe, aud have blacksmith
cut of enough of each end to leave a
hoe about four inches wide. Grind this
sharp, and commence to thin out the
plants, as soon as the leaves have grown
enough, to enable you to distinguish be-
tween the old and new plants. You should
aim to cut out all plants that have grown
two or more ereps of fruit, so far as you
can, and you thus renew your beds; and
by following up this system of cutting out
in the Fall and Spring every year, one
may grow strawberries for many years
without resetting the bed. New beds may
be made either in the Spring, or in Au.
gust and September; but never wait till
Fall when the bed can be set in the Spring.
The crop will be worth but little till the
second year. Plants set in April or May
two feet apart viii cover the ground with
plants by fall. Setting in rows is very
good way-the rows two feet apart, and
the plants one foot apart in the rows; and
a narrow walk kept open between the rows
TO pick the fruit from. See 10 il that Won
don't set pistillate (female) plants, with
no staminate (male)plants to fertilize them.

coLoRINo CHEEsE.-The preference
for coloring cheese is one Of the strangest
commercial infatuations We are acquainted

foxes in things generally, hive q notion
that plain cheese is not genuine for some
reason or other, that il is not 50 rich as
the other, wheareas it isreally the colored
cheese that Is not genuine--that is actually
adulterated with annatto to produce the
deep tint which they unwiscly prefer. If
these good people were to taste just tea
