One week from next Wednesday the Republi.

be held in Cleveland. If we are TO Judge by the
tone Of the (former) Republican papers the new
rebel policy Of President Hayes WIN be indon-
ed with Whoop and yell. We hope that this
may be the case, and that Charles Foster, the
partner, and chum Of Stanley Matthews, may be
nominated for Governor. We believe the Repub-
lican party will be dIsastrously beaten In Octo-
Der. in any event. II the party should take the
only sensible courre at Cleveland, and cast into
the sea the political Jonah who is sinking thepar
ty ship even then the parties are too nearly equal
TO have any hope Of Republican success but II

AND\Gthc FARMERS.
Oats vs., Corn for Live Stock.

Concerning this subject, Dr. James,
the Commissioner of Agriculture OF
Grnryia, writes as followS:
"Takns into consideration the
cost of production, the chemical analN
sis and the comparative freedom from
sttaayr, oats are cheaper as stock
food than corn. One bnsbel or fifty
six pounds of corn costs tiIty-ci .ht
cents, while one bnShtl or thilty-two
pounds of oats costs twenty nine
cents. making difference of thirteen
cents in the cost of 100 lbs. of the
two. Chemical amlysis shows that
oats contain II per cent Of albumin
nni,l>, or flesh and muscle. producing
principle, while corn contains 10 per
cent. 1t will thus be seen that for
work animals, oats are more vaIua-
Nle than corn as food when equal
weights are used. Consider, now,
that 100 pounds OF oats costs thl'trrn
cents less than 100 pounds of corn,
and the case stands decidedly in ia.
vor of oats for wolk stock.
In fat producing properties, corn
has per cent and oats & per cent
1t will be seen, therefore, that when
equal weights only a'rc"mparrd, coin
has the advantage as a fat prndNcrr.
But taking the cost into con>drra-
ton, there is no choice in this res
pcct. Another decided advantage Of
oats for our climate, and especially
for summer use. is. that while they
supply more muscle, they are !rSs
heating and invi gorating to the work
animal consuming them. Still all
other advantage is freedom from rot
ten grain and wecvil, which frequent
" causes corn to injure stock. Still
another item in favor OF oats is that
freedmen do not cat them, nor can
they so RAPIDLY sell them when sto-
ten. This corresponds with the fact
that 9G per cent. Of the correspond
cnts report that cotton can not be
raised at profit on bought supplies.
Eight, four per cent say that cotton
can be raised at a profit at present
prices on supplies made at home.
This is readily understood, in view Of
the fact that bought corn and oats
from two to three times as much as
homemade, that, as reported by cor
respondents only II per cent Of a
home supply of pork is raised in the
State, and that, while it costs an
average of 500 per head to raise il
mule or horse on the farm, 81 100000
were expended last season in their
purchases from droves, at al average
cost per head Of more than twice the
cost of raising them. Notwithstnnd-
ing this enormous annual outlay in
horses and mules, and the fact that
it costs only $50 to raise them to
three years old, only 6,O;H are report
ed annually foaled in the State.

Condensed Apple Culture.

Prof. Beal, of the Michigan Agri,
culture College, gives the following
admirable directions for apple grow
ing: A young tree should be treated
very much as you would treat a Hill
of corn. Hoed crops will answer in
young orchard; sowed crops will
do much harm to Young trees.
think it a good plan to keep young
trees mulcled, and am not sure but
it is the best of all ways to treat large
or old trees as long as they live.
Mulch prevents the rapid evaporation
of moisture from tho soil, keeps the
surface mellow, prevents the soil
from often freezing and thawipg in
winter and becoming o1erheated in
summer. Whether or not to cult
vate trees which have become we'll
established depends upon circumstan
ces. | have never seen an apple or
cllard which l thought was injured by
too frequent shallow culture, but this
