Rye Bread.

The Christian Union says that the
right way to make rye bread is to take one
cup Of yeast, if home made. four or five
boiled potatoes, mashed hot, and very
smooth, three pints of rye -four, heapcd
tablespoonful of sugar and one quart of
warm water. Beat all we'll together, and
let it rise over night In the morning add
pint bowl of corn meal and sufficient
rye -four TO knead well. Let it rise once
more very light, but be exceedingly careful
that it does not sour in the least; then
mould it into loayes, set the pans in
warm place AMI let it rise again. Then
bake like wheat bread. In all recipes for
rye -four handful of corn meal or Ora
qam -four is considered an improvement.

EDITORIAL.

Mississippi has about Is, 900 more col
ored people than whites; (equal to about
5000 votcrs); nearly every negro is Re
publican and fully 10000 white voters are
also Republicans, making clear majority
of at least $4,000 for the Republican
ticket, but shot-guns and other intimida-
ton gave the vote of the State to Iilden.
Alabama is the same way. North Carolina
ditto, by smaller majority, and South Car
DINA, Florida and Louisiana are as surely
Republican and by as large majorities as
Minnesota or Kansas, and yet in every
one, thousands of legal Republican votes
are kept away by the shotgun murder
intimidation Clubs, and this is called a
free country, and we are supposed to be
willing to submit to such frauds. If
Hayes is elected, as we hope, and believe
at this writing, and he does not put a stop
to such things, even if 1t take an army
half million strong, then we will feel
like dropping the Republican party and
voting for Keeter Pooper or some other
fraud, in the future. We do not say zee
,oiH, but we will feel like the great Repub-
lican principle of freedom of speech and
of thought is fraud and a misnomer
if matters 20 on as they are now in those
States.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Vegetables Requiring Autumn Planting.

A few of the vegetables require autumn
planting. Asparagus is hard seed, slow
to terminate, and is best sown late, just
before winter sets in. Lettuce, sown from
September to November will make strong
early plants, either for maturing where
they are sown, or for transplanting. A
little protection from a frame will aid in
the growth of plants during the winter.
Spinach for spring use, should be sown
early enough in the autumn to give good,
stocky plants before very severe frosts,
and then you will have Spinach when it is
needed-very early in the spring. To Sc
cure very early cabbage and caulifower, it
is good plan to sow seed in the autumn,
in the seed bed, and before wintnr pro-
tect these beds with frame of boards,
something after the manner Of a cold
frame, covering the top lightly with straw,
for the winter Vick's Guide.

Transplanting Raspberry Canes.

We do not believe, says the German
town Telegraph, that it makes the least
difference, as some contend, whether rasp-
berry canes, be transplanted in autumn or
in Spring, provided the soil and planting
are all that they should be. The fruit re-
quires moist, loose soil of extra quality,
and this can be secured by very literally
mulching with manure when planted and
with leaves in the autumn after the bed
is established. Place them in rows like
corn, say four feet, and the canes three
feet. Cut down within foot of the
ground, plant firmly and leave the rest to
nature.

Democratic Logic.
Chicago Jo,,rnal

The Democrats say: "We stole Ala
bama, but Mr.. Republican, we warn you
that we will stand no fraud in Louisiana.
We bull-dogged Mississippi, bnt we give
you notice that you must give us an hon.
est count in South Carolina. We most
cheerfully admit that we carrie New Y ork
by the grossest frauds, but we now say to
you that our conduct gives you no priv
lege to throw out kuklux vote in Florida.
We tried to colonize Wisconsin, but that
is none of your business. We now give
you general natice that you must be hon.
est" The Democrats make no preten-
tons to honesty. All they claim is that
"we are for reform" Bah!

AS are the experiences of this life none are
without its silver lining. Troubles and cares
come; some abide with us; some pass AWAY To-
day the body is vigorous, tomorrow il is dead
ana gone; life at best is short and the great prob
lem how to perpetuate it is still unsolyed. Life.
however, can be prolonged, the weak and feeble
Dody made strong, no matter from what cause in
duced, and instead of being burden to dyspep.
TIC and deDllitated bod .es, can be made an endnr
ing pleasure; but how? Simply by the daily and
moderate use ofDr Green's Bitter tonic This
truly medicinal preparation is not a Cheap and
trashy article, intended only to stimulate and
then leave the second state of the body worse
than the first. but it gently relaxes the bowels.
stimulates the liver, making it work off the pOis,
onOus humors of the blood, controls and repu-
lateS digestion, thereby removing the cause of
headaches and low spirits, relieves flatulency and
foul stomach, giving tone and stability to that or.
gan with an increased and healthy appetite; reg.
ulates female weakness, prevents fever and ma
larlal diseases, protects the system from unwhol-
some ar and impure water, and vtalizes and
tones the whole body against all attacks of dis
ease. Try it and you will find it pleasant to the
taste and healing to the body.
In sudden or severe cases of Liver Complaint,
or IN constipation of the bowels, few doses of
Dr. Green's Liver Pills will assist the Tonic in a
cure, and If you are shaking with ague, Dr.
Green's Ague Pills will drive it away.

THE SWIFT COUNTY COZ ONT

In another column will be found u
very interesting .etter from Dillon
O'Brien Esq. descriptive of Benson and
Swift county. The colony, under the
auspices of Bishop Ireland is progress
ing most successfully. Bishop Ireland
writes to the Northwestern Chronicle
a letter in which he says:
Tie prospects OF our Swift county colony are
each day growing brighter and brighter. No
less than forty persons have already selected
farms in the neighborhood Of De Graf, and
they will be ready TO begin breaking as soon
as the frost leaves the ground. Letters received
from eastern states give me promise OF large
influx Of immigrants into Minnesota, this ooln-
ing spring and summer. In view of tllea. facts
| have been encouraged to apply to the officers
OF the st. Paul 4 Pacific railroad for an en-
largement Of the reservation, and have now
under my control all the unsold railroad land
Of Swift county, III 900 acres. There Is in the
county at least the same quantity OF govern
ment land yet vacant, and in this manner we
can say that We hold ut the disposal of our peo-
Pile, living in large cities without homes, or
pros poets Of homes, nearly $4,000 acres OF
land Of prime quality, awaiting but the touch
| Of the pillow to yield bountiful harvest-, and en-
rich its fortunate possessors,
1t is evident that no part Of the state
will grow more rapidly during the COM
ing year than the main; line of the St
Paul and Pacific railroad.
