THE LONE, LORN CARPET-BAGGERS.
There is an element in American politics,
which, although under cloud since South
crn Democrats wrested from them their
fields of forage, twill not down." We re-
fer to the carpet-baggers, who are yet liv-
ing in hope, though likely to die in despair.
The Washington Post has learned that they
are now organizing that they may be felt in
the next Presidential election. They are
determined that the Republican party shall
again place them in positions where there
shall be no limit to their stealings save
their own sweet wills. They do not pro-
pose, so they say, to be "left" again as they
were in the counting in of Hayes; that
in the next convention they
intend to make their infu-
ence felt, and command from the nominee
what they consider themselves entitled to.
A meeting, or conference, Of leading car
petbaggers was held at Old Point Com.
fort the other day, to talk over the next
presidential canvass and decide upon q
candidate and policy. Among those pres
ent were Jorgensen, Plat and Stowell, Of
Virginia; Corbin and Chamberlain, of
South Carolina, and men of the same char
acter and fame from other Southern States
Kellogg too, was represented, and the con-
clusion reached was that Senator Blaine is
the candidate for the carpet-baggers. 1t
was urged that he, as president, would use
all the power of his Office to restore the era
of good stealing for these arduous polite
ians of the South. The conference was
secret, and of course, all the proceedings in
detail cannot be had, but the Post has as
| certalned the most material points. John
Sherman and his avowed candidacy were
discussed at length, and it was decided,
with great unanimity, that he would not do
as candidate for the rpet-baggers. He
was owned entirely by Wall street, and the
money power had not evinced any affec-
ton for carpet-baggers, SO it was said. 1t
was agreed that the carpet-bag crowd
should begin to hurrah for Hayes and
lead him to believe that he was the man of
their choice. The policy could be kept up
for few months, and 1t would result in
creating division between Hayes and
Sherman. The idea advanced was TO kill
off John Sherman in the interest of
Blaine, and the most effective way would
be to inpire the fraud with belief that he
could be re-nominated, and thus lead him
to antagonize his secretary Of the treasury,
Grant was talked of, but was discarded in
spite of few who warmly advocated him.
The argument against him was that, should
he be reelected, he would "throw off" on
| all the old crowd ana endeavor to win the
confidence of the country; that he would
feel IT necessary to separate himself from
all the influences that brought rcproach
upon his former administration, and this
would leave the carpet-baggers out in the
cold. After canvassing the whole field,
Blaine was selected as the man most likely
to stand by the carpet-baggers, and the
conference adjourned after swearing to
stand by him.

10 Rit n Colt,

The true way to bit colt is not to bit
him at all; that is, let him bit himself
When my colts are one year old, begin to
teach them to hold bit in their mouth.
The bit is OF pine, some half inch in diane
ter and five inches in length. This piece of
soft wood is held in the mouth by cord
tied to either end and passing over the
head back of the ears. The colt loves TO
have this in his mouth, because it enables
him to bring forward the teething process.
He will bite it, and work it over in his
mouth, and enjoy it hugely. He will well
come it, and will actually reach out and
open his mouth for it, as trained horse
will for bit After few day yous can tie
strings, making miniature reins, to this bit,
and teach the colt the proper use of it.
When this is done he is ready for the regu-
lar steel bit. Put your bride on with a
leather bit large and pliant;. throw your
checkline, if your bride has one attached,
into the pigsty get into your wagon and
drive of. This is all the biting colt needs.
Treated in this way, he will have q lively
yielding, sensitive mouth. He will take the
bit bravely when working up to his speed,
bit yield readily to the drivers will. A
horse bitted in this sensible way can be
driven forty clip with the lines held in one
hand, or be lifted over a five barred gate
with the strength of single wrist. If you
do not believe it, t-y it and see.-From ".

in planting their tender shrubs and trees

be taken to protect tender trees from the

A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals recommends the following rules
for the treatment of balky horses;
l. Pat the horse upon the neck, examine
the harness carefully, first on one side then
on the other, speaking encouragingly while
doing so then jump into the wagon and
give the word go; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out OF
the shafts and making him 60 round in a
circle. If the first dance ofthis kind doesn't
cure him, the second one will be sure to do
it.
8. To cure a balky horse, simply place
your hand over his nose and shut off the
wind till he wants to go, and then let him
60.
4. The brains of horses seem TO entertain
but one idea at time; thus continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve; ifyou can by any means give him a
new subject to think of, you will have no
trouple in starting him. A simple remedy
is to take a couple of turns of stout twine
around his fore-leg, just below the knee, and
tie in bow knot At the first check he
will go dancing of, and, after going a short
distance, you can get out and remove the
string to prevent injury to the tendon in
your further drive.

a Good Word for the Turnim

There is a great deal Of prejudice against
turnips as feed tor milch cows, but have
fed o great many and my conclusion is they
are good, can raise them at less cost than
beets and gather them with much less
uouble.and from the tops alone get profit
enough to pay for the pulling. They come
in very acceptably between grass and hay.
Those who have not made provision for
roots should fit the ground soon by putting
it in good condition and sow rutabagas, ap-
plying plenty Of seed. They can be thinned
with little trouble. have nothing to say
against beetsi they are good. am trying

FARMERS COLUMN.
The Pig is Agriculture.

The pig has recently been spoken Of in
contempt when compared with our other do
Inestic animals. But we examine his good
qualities at all critically, we must award
him high place in our agriculture.
He is found TO produce pound ofproduct
from less food than either cattle or sheep,
and is, therefore, the most economical ma
chine to manufacture our corn crop into
marketable meat Our people are becoming
wiser every year, and exporting less proper
tonately Of the raw materialy and more of
condensed product. Ifittakes seven pounds
of corn on an average to make a pound Of
pork, as is no doubt the case, the farmer be-
gins to see the great economy of exporting
one pound of pork, bacon or ham, instead of
seven pounds ofcorn. The difference in cost
of freight makes fine profit of itself; be-
sides the pound of meat is usually worth
more than seven pounds of corn in the for
eign market. The production of pork
should be encouraged on the further consid-
Grafton that it carries off less of the valuable
constituents of the soil than beef The fat
pig contains only three-fourths as much
mineral matter per hundred weight as the
steer, and only two-fifths as much nitrogen
per hundredweight; and therefore the pro-
duction of ton of pork on the farm will
carry off only little more than halfthe fer
tility carried off by ton of beef beside,
ton of beef will require nearly fifty per cen
tum more to produce it. This gives in
round numbers the comparative effect of
producing pork and beef. 1t is thus evident
that the pig should be Gostered in every way,
his capabilities studied and pushed, his dis
eases carefully noted and prevented, for he
is the most profitable meat-producing ami
NAL on the farm. The pig is an excellent
adjunct to the dairy, turning all the refuse
milk and even whey into cash. As he is
king of our meat exports, so let us treat him
with great consideration.-Moo Rural.
