In the Arkansas convention the other day
Mr.. Sumpter got up and offered a resolu-
ton setting forth that 1.-THE title of Rutherford
b. Hayes as President Of the United States.
as settled and declared by the Forty-fourth
Congress of the United States, is final, and
there is no power in any department of the
government that can reverse the same;" and
that ''the representatives hereafter to be
elected from this State to the Forty-sixth
Congress be and they are hereby instructed
to oppose any effort that may be made In said
Congress to interfere with or defeat said title
as thus settled and declared"
Whereupon Mr.. Burrowgot up and offered
as substitute the following:
We fully indorse the action of majority OF
the House of Representatives in the inveSti-
CATION OF the frauds by which men not elected
TO Office were instituted In the offices of Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States
We insist that the crimes be exposed and the
criminals punished, To the end that such
crimes may never be attempted hereafter.
Mr.. Burrows substitute was adopted by a
vote Of ninety to twenty-five; and, conse-
quently Mr.. Sumpter's resolution went by
the board. Some of the Radical papers in
the North have already seized hold Of this
action Of the Arkansas convention and made
it a subject of comment, while a few
"dough-tace" Democratic sheets have has
tened to repudiate it as a Misrepresentation
of Democratic opinion. We cannot enter into
any such disclaimer We believe that the
resolution adopted by the Arkansas conven-
ton gives utterance to a sentiment that is
secretly hidden away in the heart, not
only of every Democrat, but of every
honest man in the land. Policy, diplomacy,
timidity may seek to hide the honest oonvic-
ton. but when issues of the kind the Repub-
licans sought to force in the last Congress on
this question are provoked, we believe in

considerable time before weaving, and
especially at that period and to the end
of the year. Beginning with handful
when the colt is week or two old, it will
certainly pay to gradually increase the
amount to four or five quarts by the end
of the year. After that, if the pasture
aud hay are first quality, oats are not of
the same importance, but should not be
withheld entirely. The amount that
can be proftably given the second and
third years depends on the conditions
already mentioned.
Peas and good peavine hay answer the
same purpose in forming healthy bone,
muscle and nerves in growing c1lts, calves
and lambs that one secures by feeding
oats. Clover abOunds in albuminoids
and bone material. Hence, hay made
nominally of red top, timothy, bluegrass
or orchard grass is improved by mixture
of clover. All kinds OF stock are benefited
by having variety of food daily. 1t is
an old maxim, "a change of pastures
makes fat calves"

ArrIcnIturnIN Notes.

THE use of some active fertilizer early
in the spring will be beneficial on almost
all crops. When used with discretion
these are very profitable. But at this
season only those that are perfectly
soluble will be found available.
KEEP stock off pastures while they are
soft. The poaching will cost ten-fold by
summer, what the stock may get of the
very early grass. There is nothing to
gain, but much to lose, even if only the
pasture is concerned. The feed will not
be lost if allowed to grow little longer.
To MAKE unproductive fruit trees
bear cut from each limb close to where
it DIVORCES from the trunk, piece of
bark about four inches round the limb,
one inch in width, and Immediately re-
plsce by tying it on with a rag until it
adheres. This must be done early in
the spring, or Just as soon as the sap
rises sufficiently for the bark to slip or
skin.
AN international agricultural congress
will be held at Paris during the expo
sition, beginning June 10, and lasting
ten days. The sections, eleven in num-
Der, will deal respectively with agricul-
ture proper, stock rearing, vine culture,
sylviculture, horticulture, rural engineers
ing, agricultural industries, silkWorm
breeding and entomology, rural economy
and legislation, agricultural education
and horse breeding.
ONE often hears that such and such a
one is a good farmer. How is good
farming to De tested Certainly not by
the raising of one or two good crors.
He is the good farmer who uniformly
increases the aggregate product of his
farm from year to year. The surest,
truest test of good farming is a con-
stantly increasing production of the
soil.
TIE cheapness of farm crops affords no
argument in favor of the farmer retiring
from active operations. The smaller the
profits SO long as there is prefits.-
the stronger is the argument for increas-
ing our crop areas. Ii we get 2 little
profit from one acre, we may still derive
satisfactory years income by cultiva~
ting many acres. The smaller the prosts
the more the farmer must work to earn
them. 1t is on this principle that MANY
enterprising farmers are laying out their
plans Tor the spring.
Don't cOvet the name "He's a good
man 10 work for" but rather the name
that ] had many years, He is a hard
man to work for, but he Is good pay"
That meant, that made my men do a
fair days work, which hired men news
adays call = hard" The fact is, farmers,
that nine farm hands out of ten won't
do half Days work on an average if
YOU are so easy with them that they call
you " a nice man to work for."

The truths of science and progressive

ton, as the great forces at work in the
world, but we do not learn about the
grace of God. And yet you would find
millions of persons doing good in the
world, who would tell you that the grace
of God made them doors Of good. People,
therefore, talk very unwisely when they
attempt to account for things, and leave
out this wonderful element. I think it
deserves study quite as much as cleo
tricity. When we examine its character
and laws carefully, we find that it is like
the air We breathe---efered to every man.
The true light which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world" John
i:9) "The grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men"
Titus ii:11.) But we also find that it
may be resisted and despised, and so be
ineficacious. Ye will not come to me
that ye might have life." John VAC. }
" Ye do always resist the Holy Spirit"
(Acts vii.51.1 Now, ali the difference
between goo6-doing and bad-doing in the
world is made By accepting or rejecting
the grace of God. When the pastor and
deacon were boys, they rejected the grace
of God, and so they fought one another.
Now that they are trying to save seuls
from sin, they have accepted the grace
of GOD. To explain their lives without
the grace of God would be like explain
ing bread-makiDg without fire. You
might classify all the visible elements,
but unless you bring in heat as factor
! you would not explain bread. So you
could classify outward circumstances
and natural dispositions in the case o.
the pastor and the deacon, but yod can
not explain either of them without the
/ grace of God as the most prominent
factor. " Let no one fail of the grace O.

MsrrowIng CORN nnd Nvheat.

The Country Gentleman has the folS
lowing sensible remarks on the impor~
tant subject of narrowing corn and
wheat:
The operation here described refers to
the use of the common harrow. which,
when passed over the plants in spring,
may do but little injury, if everything
is favorable, and the soil of the right
character. 1t is nearly always beneficial,
for the same reason that the cultivation
of corn increases the growth, by breaking
the crust and giving a mellow surface.
We have been for several years in the
practice OF narrowing corn in spring,
and always with successful results, by
using the smoothing harrow, which has
some decided advantages over the COM
mon implements. 1t never uproots the
wheat it destroys all small weeds gives
a mellow surface to the earth, and the
operation may be repeated two or three
times at any time when the ground is
dry enough to bear the team, from the
period when the wheat begins to grow
till foot or more in height. 1t has
never failed TO increase the crop several
bushels per acre--n not unfrequently as
many as ten; and in rare cases The crop
has been nearly doubled. We have
sOwn clover seed at the last narrowing,
the operation slightly covering it, and it
has taken as we'll rs when sown in early
spring in the usual way.

SOUR SAUCE.-Haif cupful of butter,
stir in a tablespoonful of flour and one
pint of boiling water, nearly cupful of
sugar, two spOonfuls good vinegar, spice

FRICASsEE ON CHICKEN.-Cut the
chicken in small pieces, just cover with
water, season highly, add a few small
pieces OF pork if fat chicken, not
very large piece of butter, add a few
potatoes cut in half; before taking from
the fire, remove the lid and dredge in

YORKSHIRE PUDDING.--One quart of
milk, six eggs, a little salt, and as much
-four as will make stiff batter; pour
into dripping pan (meat PAM, putting
a few pieces of dripping on it here and
there; bake for one hour. In Yorkshire,
where the meat turns on a spit in front
of the fire, the pudding is placed under
meath the beet, and receives the gravy as
it drlps.

he IndustrIOas.

There is no situation in life which
affords so much comfort and enjoyment
as that of having body and mind con-
stantly employed. Although there
appears to be in the minds of most people
a natural antipathy to labor, yet it is
well known, and generally admitted by
those whose circumstances have at times
required incessant labor, and at other
times perfect leisure and exemption from
care, that there is vastly more enjoyment
in industry than in idlsness. 1t is the
plain and express duty of every person
to be industrious, and to improve every
hour of their time in the full exercise OF
their natural strength and faculties in the
most useful employment. No circum-
stances in life can furnish an excuse for a
neglect of this duty. We would not, in
these remarks, wholly prescribe recrea
ton but well-balanced minds will find
the most healthy and pleasant recreation
in exercises which are decidedly useful
and beneficial to themselves and others.
For example: A boy takes pleasure in
the exercise of hauling a little cart
loaded with earth or stones, though
there be no advantage in the removal of
those articles; but does he find any less
pleasure under a consciousness of doing
good, when removing the same materials
! from a place where they were an encum-
| brance, to another place where they are
wanted Certainly not. Or il miss
finds pleasure in walking in the fields,
that pleasure is rather enhanced than
otherwise, if she can accomplish some
! thing useful by the walking.
It is a common thing for men, during
their labor, to derive an enjoyment from
the anticipation of the pecuniary COM
pensation which they are to receive
therefor. but this kind of enjoyment is
far inferior to that of one who rejoices
during bis labor in the consciousness
of performing a duty, and a sense OF
| divine appreciation The scriptures OF
divine truth, which alone furnish per-
feet laws and rules of duty, and guide
to happiness, contain many In functions
to industry and diligence in business,
| and that for the purpose not of acquir.
ing wealth, but of doing good. The
word ''aVarice," is not to be understood
to imply a desire of earning or gaining
but of retaining or boarding what has
been acquired of wealth. But our sub
ject is the duty of industry and diligence
If any man entertains and cheTishes the
true principle of sympathy and benevs
lence, deriving more pleasure in relieving
the sufferings of his fellow mortals, than
in the possession of such articles Of
wealth as are utterly indispensable, there
| will be no danger of his being either idle
or misery. But the neglect of improve
ment of an hour of time is as decidedly &
crime as the wasting of money or pro
perty; and the neglect of doing good t.
others, when opportunity occurs, il
decidedly incompatible with the charac
ter or hope of true Christian, for 4" hi
that knoweth to do good and doeth i
not, to him it is sin"

PIueGInE DacE and Geese.

The best time to pick the feathers from
ducks is just after they are killed, and as
often as any are killed for the table or for
sale. II any one plucks ducks when
alive he or she should be severely punished
for such cruelty. Ducks viii begin to
lay in mild climate about the begins
ming of February, and if well fed will
lay an egg every morning. When owners
OF ducks are inhuman enough to pick
the feathers while the poor creatures are
living they will not lay so early, and not
more than fourth of the eggs. Ducks
and geese thus barbarously treated al
ways have ragged, misel able appear
ance, which is disgraceful, and those who
are guilty of this unfeeling conduct over
reach themselves, for it is fact well
understood by intelligent people that not
only does the pain and lUss of feathers
affect the laying, but the drain on the
system, in making new feathers uno
naturally, often Injuries the animals s.
that they degenerate.
