LAMBs.-Early lambs may be pushed
forward by giving them a little fresh
cows milk, They will soon learn to
drink this from a pan. The milk should
be given warm from a fresh COW, a
quarter of a pint to a meal. DO not
overfeed any young animal; that re-
tards, instead OF assisting growth.
SWINE.-Separate breeding sows
from other pigs, and provide them with
a warm dry pen, bedded with leaves or
cut straw, and furnished with a rail
fastened eight inches from the floor and
from the wall, to prevent the young pigs
from being crushed. 1t IS well 70 give
the SOW half 2 pint Of raw l~lnseed-olt a

ately after; this may prevent her from
destroying the pigs,

Cows.-Want Of care during the win
ter leaves a cow very poor and weak in
the spring. Any animal that is out of
condition, should be well cared for now,
A mess Of warm-bran slop, with one
ounce Of ginger stirred IN, will be very
useful. 1t is not safe to over feed,
especially with stimulating food.
SHEEP.-A few one-ounce doses of
a mixture of equal parts Of sulphur
and cream OF tartar, will relieve the II
"ritation of the skin common III the early
spring. and the loss OF much wool by
rubbing. Ewes should have dry and
clean pens and yards. Abundant litter
is no remedy for a wet floor; a dry
board is better than a foot of damp
straw for a bed.
CALyEs.-A calf that is infested with
vermin, may be known by its rough
coat covered with ticks. The young
animals should be freed fromthese pests
at once. 4 mixture of lard and sui
phur, rubbed along the spine and on the
brisket will be effective; and Il dose of a
tablespoonful of sulphur and molasseS,
once a day for a week, will help greatly
to drive away lice and prevent disease.
"Black-leg' IN Calves is frequent just
now. 1t mainly affects the best kept
animals. To prevent it, give the sui
phur and molasses, and feed no meal.
TO reduce the condition gradually Is an
effective preventive. Medicines come
too late III this disease, which Is almost
surely fatal at this season,

HORRIBLE,

The destitueion prevailing in the
once happy and prosperous city of St.
Louis, must be simply horrible. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer states, that the fivepolice precincts
Of the city report ar aggregate of over
one thousand names, eachrepresenting
family Of two to eight and sometimes
ten. These are cared for out of the po-
lice fund; but besides this the Provi-
idsnt Association, a Protestant chari-
table Association, provides for over g.
600 families, and the St. Vincent De
Paul Conference for the same number,
or may be more. Estimating these
families at five each, we have grand
total of $4,000 persons depending on
public charity for their daily bread,
in one city alone. This statement is
simply horrible and is a more eloquent
argument against the crime and folly
of forced resumption, than al ! the cur.
rency reform speeches that can ever be
made.

1t is folly and waste of time to talk
of the Democratic and National par
ties uniting as long as there is such a
vast difference between them. 1t is
an easy matter for man to talk and
write in favor of National principles
and vote the Democratic ticket, The
Democrats of Ohio who believe in the
doctrines of the National party should
cast their ballots for the Nation
al ticket. As far as we are concerned
we don't care who the Democracy
nominate, we will cast our ballot for
the National candidate. We will not
however support bond holder Or
National banker, or any one connected
with a National bank, no matter what
he may claim to be.

THE EXTRAVAGANCE AND COR
RUPTION PRACTICED in PERRY
COUNTY.

The tax payers of this county are driv
en- into debt by the enormous.taxs that
they are compelled to pay annually,
which is squandered by the ring, COM
posed of men in the Democrat and Re-
publican parties. This ring is defy
ing the people to molest them in their
squandering of the public money
Property is depreciating in value and
can find no buyers at one third its real
value on; account of the high rate of
taxation and the corruption practiced
in the county, and which is growing
worse every day. There are hundreds
of property holders in our county
that are unable to pay their taxes,
while hundreds more have borrowed
money and are paying ten and twelve
Der cent. interest on it in order to pay
their taxes, which is being squandered
by this ring.
But short time ago we proposed to
the Commissioners to publish their re-
port for twenty five dollars, which
they refused and paid the ring organs
over one hundred dollars. We made
the same proposition to the County
Treasurer. to publish the tax notice
for twenty-five dollars and he refused
to have it done and give it to the ring
organs for which they received over
one hundred dollars each. We offerd
to publish the times of holding courts
for eight dollars, but Mr.. NARROW
gave it to the ring organs which will
charge over twenty dollars each. The
ring organs received eighty odd dol
lars each for publishing the Sheriff
proclamation, we will do it for ten and
be well paid for the work. We might
fill a column with the most barefaced
outrages that are being practiced by
this ring on the people. Is itany won
der your taxes are high. They defy
public opinion, snd dictate 10 the new.
ly elected officers what they shall and
what they shall not do, and should
they disobay then they threaten them
and bring the entire force of the ring
to bear to accomplish their ends. They
rally under the Democratic and Re.
publican flags for the purpose of com
mitting fraud. They have no princi
ples, they know none, and will contin
ue to plunder as long as the people
will allow it.

The True Girl.

The true girl has to be sought for. She
does not parade herself to show goods.
She Is not fashionable. Generaly she is not
rich, but oh, what heart she has when
you find her! So large and pure and wo-
manly. When you see it you wonder If
those things outside are woman. If you
gain her love your two Thousand are mil.
lions. She'll not ask you for carriage or
q irst-class house. She'll wear simple
dresses and turn them when Necessary,
with NO vulgar magAifcat TO frown upon
her economy. She'll keep everything
very neat and nice in your sky parlor, and
give you such welcome when you come
home that you will think your parlor
higher than ever. She'll entertain true
friends on dollar, and astonish you with
the new thought Of how little happiness
depends on money. She'll make you love
home (if you don't you are brute and
teach you how to pity, while you scorn
poor fashionable society that thinks rich
and vainly tries to think itself happy.
Now, do not, pray you, say any more 81
can't afford to marry" Go find the true
woman, and you can. Throw away that
cigar, burn up that rwitch cane, be sensible
yourself and seek your wife in sensible
way.

Be Honorable.

Boys and young men some times start
out in life with the idea that ones success
depends on sharpness and chincanery:-
They imagine that If man is always able
to get the best of a bargain" no matter
by what deceit and meannsss he carries his
point, that his prosperity is assured. That
is great mistake. Enduring prosperity
cannot be founded on cunning and dishon-.
esty. The trickery and deceisful man is
sure to fall q victum, sooner or later, to
the influences which are forever working
against him. His house is built upon the
sand, and its foundation is certain to give
away. Young people can not give these
truths too much weight. The future of
that young man it safe who eschews every
shape of double-dealing, and lays the foun-
dations Of hir career in the enduring prin-
ciples of everlasting truth.

The salaries of county officers should
be reduced, an effort should be made
at once to. have the present Legislature
do it. Reduce the salaries of the Au-
ditor and Treasurer to one thousand
dollars per year which will we'll pay
them. Reduce the remaing officers in
the same proportion. There will be
no trouble in finding good and respon'
sible men to fill the positions.

WILL YOU UNDERSTAND USs

1t is, to say the least, trife
strange that many good people will
continue to misunderstood the Green
hacker. We do not believe that these
people willfully mistake our position
and our principles. They have been
mislead by the subsidized press of the
country. Their opinions of the
Greenback doctrines have been formed
not from what we say, but from what
our enemies say Of us.
Ysu call us communists, why? Be-
cause you have seen that statement in

Trouble in the Ring Camp.

There is trouble ahead in the King
ranks. An investigation has been had
as to how campaign funds we're used to

them that were not in with them. We
understand the case will be brought
before the Grand Jury. Ifthe mat

ibals. Here is parallel case: A far
mer comes to town and sells load of
wheat, on his way home he is set upon
by a robber; he cries for help; you
come upon the scene just as the
robber has one hand upon the farmers
throat and the other in his pocket;
you at once commence to abuse the
farmer, calling him all sorts of hard
names because he makes such an out
cry, while the robber escapes with the
price of the wheat. You would be
just as consistent as you are in your
charges against the Greenbackers.
You tell us that we believe in fat
money, not bit more than you do.
All money is fiat, it can't be money
without the fiat, But say you "the
Greeenbacker wants ir1edeemable
money" No sir, he does not, money
cannot be money and be irredeemable
The office Of money is to exchange
real values, and no matter what the
material, its power lies in the legal
tender qualities given it by law, once
made legal tender it becomes lien
upon all the property, personal and
real, in the nation, and even upon
men, for it is said all men have their
price, being lien upon it is redeema.
BILE in the property of the whole ma.
ton.
Gold and silver to be of use as mon.
ey must be thus redeemed, hence it il
not straining point, nor evading a
truth, to say that gold is not based up.
ON potatoes, But you say the Green
hacker wants paper money and no 9th
er. Here my friend, you are again
mistaken, you have never seen Green
back labor platform that did not ad-
vocate the unlimited and free coinage
of the precious metals.
Again you say the Greenbacker i.
opposed to Government note which
promises to pay gold. Here again yon
are at fault. The Greenbacker know,
that the promise to pay gold is a lie,
but he is not captious about it, indeed
yon may load the note with all tn,
promises this side of the eternal city
and the Greenbacker will be conten
if you will by law enact that the sait
note shall be legal tender for al
debts public and private.
But enough for the present, Pleas
study over these points and see if tn
Greenbacker is such a hideous mon
ster after all.
Ask yourself if a note based on tn
credit of the nation is not better tha
a note based upon the credit of pr
vate corporation?
Ifit is not better to keep the vol
ume af the currency at the sam
standard, or volume, while paying
debt that it was when the debt wa
contracted?
