For this use some OF the annual varieties
may be sown.
Dipping the Lambs.-When the sheep are
shorn, the tic6s gather on the lambs, and
these pests rAay be destroyed by dipping
Buchan's Cresylic Sheep Dip is a safe and
effective preparation for destroying all out
ward parasites of the sheep, and the Cresylic
ointment is useful to cure accidental cuts
made in shearlng, and to prevent damage by

Roots.-They are the most valuable pro-
| duct we can grow. One acre of mangels or
beets may be made to feed two or three COWS
for whole year. This is more than can be
/ done from an acre OF any other farm pro-
duct. To grow maRgels successfully, they
| should be sown this month, before the 10th
| if possible. After mangels, come sugar
beets and blood beets, which may be sown
| early in June, but are better sown in May.
There are several varieties OF yellow aeshed
mangels, which are thought more valuable
than the red varieties. Webb's Yellow
Globe. the Yellow-fleshed Tankard, the
Long Yellow, and some other varieties o.
this color, are already introduced here, anc
are found to succeed well. Tbey are NOR;

year simply because we permit them. The
potato beetle exists so plentifully because
some careless farmers actually breed nlyriads
of them. Many fields of potatoes were aban-
doned to them last year, and the neighboring
country was thus stocked for this year. This
is one insect that might be abolished by a
combined effort for year or two. Another

grubs may be squeezed out of these tumors
through the breathing holes and destroyed.
Otherwise they will escape, change to flies
and continue the mischief.
Cows.-Now that the COWS are fully on
the pasture, supply them regularly with salt.
One ounce day is sufficient and it will pre-
vent possible injurious effect of the fresh
succulent food which otherwise might ap
pear in the form OF severe and dangerous
disorders of the blood. A noon feed OF hay
with quart of cotton seed meal will be use
full this month. until the grass becomes less
succulent.
A change of food is to be made cautiously.
The stomach and bowls are easily disorerd
by the sudden and serious change made at
this season, and during the first month the
substitution of grass or clover for dry food
should be gradual. The first symptoms oi
anything wrong in cows is a shrinking of the
milk, or loss of appetite.

heavy roller will level the surface by reduc
ing the hummocks sinking stones and sticks

roots and so strengthens the grass. A light

acre, for instance, will encourage the growth
and add largely to the yield.

cation OF bus,,el or two OF plaster. a. early

Another Cremation.

Charles McCreery, son of one New York
first business men, has just died, and, agree
ably to his dying request, his body was
consigned to the crematory. He was twenty
four years old at the time of his death, and
fearing that his ideas of burial might con-
fct with those of his parents, or that they
might be puzzled and distressed in arran-
ging the details, he left the duty of superin-
tending the disposal of his body to the fam
lily parson. After some preliminary CORE
spondence, this good friend arranged to have
the burning take place at the furnace erected
by the late DR.. lie Moyne, and accompanied
the remains to Washington, Pennsylvania,
where characterization took place. "When
looked into the retort," says the clergyman,
call my opposition to cremation disap-
peared. There came out of the furnace a
lovely rosy light, which l could compare to
nothing but the morning light on the peaks
of the Alps, as have seen it in Switzer-
land" The body was taken from the coffin,
placed in a crib and covered with sheet
saturated with alum. The crib is made Of
rods of iron just close enough to hold the
body. The alum cloth prevents smoke.
"There was absolutely nothing repugnant
to the Senses" continues Dr. Payson,-" no
flame, no odor of any kind. The crib was
rolled into the retort, and there rested in the
bright light Little by little the cloth dis
appeared, then the body, the ashes falling
to the bottom" The burning process occu.
pied three hours.

The Next Census,

The preparations which the proper au-
thorities are making in respect to the next
census seem to justify the expectation that
it will be the most perfect ever taken, by all
Odds The attempt will be made to make a
nearly simultaneous census about June l.,
1880, and to gather through special experts
certain statistics which have been left here
tofore to the ordinary enumerators. Mr..
Harrington, chief clerk, having died, c. w.
Seaton, the superintendent of the New York
census of 1875, becomes the chief clerk of
the bureau. Professor Baird, the chief of
the fish commission, has had for some
months special canvassers visiting the coasts
of the whole country, and the lakes and
rivers, to collect the fisheries statistics
Clarence King, the chief of the geological
survey, undertakes the collection of the min.
ing statistics. General Trowbridge, profess
sor of engineering in Columbia college, will
investigate the use of power and machinery
in manufactures. Frederick H. Wines, Sec
rotary of the Illinois board of state chart
ties, has the collection of the statistics of the
dependent, defective and criminal classes !;
George E. Waring, Jr., the proportionate
population of cities; Edward Atkinson
has cotton manufactures, George w. Bond
wooden, James NJ. Swank iron the agricul.
tural statistics are divided among several ex-
perts; and to perfect the whole body of in
formation pertaining to disease and death,
one hundred thousand registers or blanks
have been distributed to the physicians of
the country. The period allowed for the
enumeration is shortened to one month in
rural districts and two weeks in the cities.

Senator Edmunds, on the occasion Of q
flying trip to Burlington, met most hearty
welcome at the hands of his old towns-peo-
pie on Monday last. In the evening he held
an informal reception at the Van Ness
House, where, in reply to words of welcome
by Hon. W. G. Shaw, Senator Edmunds re-
piled as follows
It Is scarcely possible--or, should say, quite
impossible--for me to express my sensibility OF
your kind and neighborly courtesy In coming to
meet me here tonight. In any ones life u Is the
happiest moment, whatever responsibilities he
may have borne, whatever honors he may have
achieved, however remote and long may have
been his wanderings, when he returns once more
to his old-time home and takes by the hand his
friends and neighbors and the companions OF his
youth. Not only in places OF the highest respon-
sibility but In the travels abroad which my health
has compelled me to perform, my greatest happi-
ness-after the knowledge that had served to
your satisfaction In the positions to which your
kindness has raised me-has been to come back
to my old home and see my townsmen once more.
All that makes up civic peace and harmony tfor
differences OF creed, OF party and OF principles
in reality and truth but unite us the more Closely
and the brotherhood OF community, town,
city-which Is the real freedom OF well-ordered
state-is here, and, learn with pleasure prosper
ity and happiness. The citizens greatest pride
and happiness Is when he returns to the spot
where he was born and where he lives. After the
worry the excitement the struggle Of the day,
one finds rest and peace and the highest happi-
ness as he goes to the quiet and serenity OF his
home cannot adequately express my sensibility
on returning, after years absence, and finding
my old friends ready to greet me and my old
home in peace and prosperity In can only thank
you most sincerely.
This brief and appropriate address was
delivered with much feeling and earnest
ness and was rapturously applauded. Hand
shaking then commenced and it was late
hour when the senator received the greet
ings and respects of the last one of the hun
dreds who participated in the reception.

The Legal Tender.

The supreme court of the United States
will probably soon be heard from in regard
to the power of congress to create or main.
tain in time of peace the legaltender quail
ity of United States notes. As our readers
are aware, Congressman Chittenden of Brook
Ign and General Butler some time since ar
ranged test case with a view Of obtaining
as speedily as possible decision of this
burning question from the court of last re-
sort. Senator Edmunds appeared before the
supreme court on Tuesday and moved to ad
vance the case for argument at this term,
basing the application upon the ground that
the case affects great public interests, in
volving as it does the validity of the act of
congress of May 81, 1878, forbidding the
further retirement Of the United States legal
tender notes, and requiring them to be re-
issued and kept in circulation after their re-
demption. The senator made the additional
point, in support of his motion, that if the
determination in relation to this act of 1878
is made at an early day it will, in the exist
ing state of renewed prosperity, work no
hardship, "whereas if it were decided at
the time when the legal tenders are below
par the hardship it would work upon debt
ors who have made contracts when they
were at par would be immense and meal.

A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.-At the late
Cincinnati Grant dinner, James w. Fitzger-
aid, a prominent Democratic politician spoke
as follows: Politicians may talk as they
please, but after they have had their say, in
come those who came here to honor this oc.
casion, an occasion simply to do honor to
the noblest, grandest American citizen that
ever breathed the breath of life since the
days of Washington. History repeats itself
Alexander was the grandest general Of an
tiquity. Caesar came as grand general !;
Hannibal filled grand imperial place in
history, and Napoleon, with his proud
eagles, comes with the battle of Austerlitz.
But the grandest Roman of them all in the
cause of human liberty of modern times,
never equaled, much less excelled, is General
U. S. Grant. tell you, my friends, of all
the people on earth the American people are
the guardians of liberty. Freedom to all is
their standard, and tonight, away from all
politicians and parties, in the name of the
people of America, give us as the next pres.
ident of the United States the man that
saved the republic-General U. S. Grant"

SENSIBLE lSAUGURATIoN.-The Albany
Journal says; "The Inauguration OF Gov
ernor Cornell will be as undemonstrative as
the long-established custom of the state will
permit. As already announced, he has de-
clined all military escort, and the whole &C.
casion will be the simplest observance Of
the usual practice. The inaugural exer-
cises will take place at twelve o'clock on
New Year day in the assembly chamber, to
which the outgoing and incoming governors
will proceed together, accompanied by their
respective stats. The oath of Office will be
administered to Governor Cornell by Gen
eral Carr as secretary of state, and the brief
addresses of Governors Robinson and Cor
nell will follow. Immediately upon the con-
clusion OF the exercises, the new governor
will for an hour receive citizens generally,
and Governor Robinson has been invited TO
join him in receiving"

HAYES ON MAINE.-In recent interview
with Representative Williams OF Wisconsin,
who dwelt upon the gloomy outlook pre-
sented by the efforts of politicians to get
control Of sovereign states by fraud Presi-
dent Hayes emphatically replied; "This
Maine business is not going to succeed"
lie added that II he were one of the Repub.
lican members of the legislature Of Maine
he would sit there until September. BY
every device known TO parliamentary law
for the protection of minorities, all other
business should be suspended until the
wrong should be righted. He would not re.
sort to force, but he would endeavor TO
bring TO bear upon those gentlemen such a
weight of public opinion that they could
not escape or resist it. If counted in by
technicalites, by technicalities they should
be thwarted in their revolutionary purposes
until they were made to feel that the will OF
the majority, when properly and legally er-
pressed, must control. The president ex-
pressed the opinion that good people Of all
parties will, as the facts become known, EN-.
phatically condemn the outrage. Represen.
tative Williams asked leave to make public
the opinions expressed by the president, and
he wrote them down, submitting them te
the president for revision.

1RELAND's FAMtNE.-The failure of the
crops in this unfortunate country is severe,
and where so large proportion of the peo-
pie live so near the line of want, much suf-
fering will doubtless ensue, and contribu.
tions from this country may become neces-
sary. But, as is well remarked by the
Springfield Republican, sit is fair to remem.
Der that in these days of rapid communica-
tion failing crop may not mean dear food.
The crop in England this year is total fail.
ure, but the grain imported has cost from
three to five per cent less than last year,
bushel by bushel, and nearly fifth less than
the year before. John Bright said in a re-
cent speech, and the market reports bear
him out, that there has never been year in
England when the industrial classes had
cheaper food than in the season of bad crops
just closing, a fact which should be weighed
and considered in answering calls for aid.
Nothing better illustrates the benefcent re-
suits of the modern Improvements and econ
omies in transportation than the fact that it
has abolished famine prices from the ter.
rors of the civilized world"

The ExoDUs.-During the senate dis
cussion of Mr.. Voorhees, resolution inquir-
ing into the causes Of the negro exodus, the
author of the resolution having charged it
to plan to change western Democratic
states to the Republican column, Mr.. In
gals of Kansas said the emigration to
Indiana was trifling compared with that Of
last spring to Kansas. The insinuation that
the movement was melted by politicians
was disposed of by the fact that Kansas had
always been largely Republican. He had
conversed with many of the negroes, and
had yet to find one who did not say his only
reason for leaving the South was the hope
of obtaining the free enjoyment of political
rights and fair days wages for honest days
work. One of those he had talked with,
who came from Georgia, said there was a
convict system in Georgia that amounted to
practical slavery, and under which negro
who stole biscuit was imprisoned ten
years, and white man who killed negro
was sentenced for only two years. The
negro convicts were put in gangs and farmed
out. The resolution was passed, twenty
seven to twelve
