Evs,< Party ssnasher.

Ewing has succeeded most ad'nira-
bly SO far in Ohio, in making sure the
success Of the Republicans at the com
ing October election. There was not =
particle Of hope Of success for the De-
moeracy in Ohio anyhow without a
upiou with thu Grsenbackers and even
with that union it could not poll any
thing like the vote that the Republ'-
cans polled in 1876. Ewing has already
been successful in breaking into three
factions, the Greenback party, two fac
tons of which may give him their sup
mort Int the third faction still stands
ont AGAINST all offers and etferts " con-
ci,iate them. 1t must not I've forgotten
either that large proportion Of the
Ire.nbackers have become tired and
disguised at playing into the hands OF
the Democracy and will vote with the
Republicans. After this summary
disposition of the Greenbackers, Ewing
finds himself with divided Democrs-
tic party. The thousands # honest
money Democrats will not support kw'
ing, especially as he says the issue Is
plainly one OF finance. These DISCUS
ted Democrats will be found voting
with the Republicans, and General Ew'
ing will find after all that he will lose
MANY more votes of Democrats than he
will gain of Greenhackers. The more
he appeals to the soft money element
the more he will ALLEVIATE Democrats
who have adhered to their party be
caus. they hoped that it would soon
get tlLs better Of soft money repudiatlng
principles. 1t will occur to many OF
them this year that the only way to
cur. those tendencies is to administer
to their party a sound thrashing. 1t
is true that Ewing -xprc's cons'dera-
Lir number of Republican votes OF

perhaps to taxi into account the 1ac'
tina. there is in this contest just enough
of the 'doings of a Congress OF south
ern rebel brigadi-r Generals to Keep
the Republicans in their places in
their party, and little help can he ex'
pect from that direction. Ewing has
started out as a successful party
sma,her, and when election IS over he
will find himsel to be the worst smash

THIS BANK of England now holds
$l6o, ,0O0, 600, more gold bullion Than
ever before and the money market Is
quit. as plethoric as that in our own
county, but Notwithstanding this fact,
the state of trade and the business out
look is not 50 promising th-re as here.
The people there have invested all their
money ,ha: they can possibly spare
from their business in safe secure lies
after having sought IN vain for other
and profitable sources in which they
could invest their money without loss.
In this country there are other outlets
which promote trade, such AZ mining'
manufacturing and railway enterprises,
which promise fair profits with aspeedv
return, but in England commercial con
fd.nce is broken down and business is
stagnant. The tide Of money in Eng
land into the National Treasury vaults
has been heavy and before the close of
the year will reach 500, ,O0o, 900, unless
there should be revival Of trade. In
our National Treasury there are $50,
600, ,00o in bullion, but this is held by
law for specific purpose, and if it
could only be put into circulation, 1t
would soon be put to a good use by the
people. the latter being benefited as
we'll as the nation. The difference be
tween England and this country is,
that in the first the bullion is in the
treasury because the owners cannot
find use for it, but i'll this country it il
there to meet the necessities Of a
healthy business development.

MUCK ON SANDY SoILs.-In some 20:
tions Of the Southern States. where they
are slow in adopting new methods of cul-
ture or hints leading to experiments, they
are beginning to find out that muck hauled
upon sandy soils tends to increase their
productiveness. This is no new thing
We recommended it, as did correspondents,
fve-and-twepty years ago, and pointed cut
instances that had been attended with
marked success. Even pure clay hauled
npou light sandy soils, aud intermingled,
has been followed by excellent results, the
and increasing its crops full fifty per cent.
Where clay or muck is as convenient of
transportation as manure, there is no ques-
tion but its application us here suggested
would prove Of the most decided advantage.
Even in gardens, where the soil has become
exhausted by long, continued cultivation, q
dressing Of clay is far better than coat of

THE EXHAUSTION OF SOILS BY PLANT
GROWTH

Plants are constantly drawing water from
the soil, through their roots, and throwing
it off through their leaves, and this water
in the soiL iLis-carryeas away from the min
erals in the soil ash constituents which are
constantly being developed through the
oxygen Of the air, and CHS process, if left
in a state Of nature, rs iu our abandoned
pastures and forests, will add fertility to
the soil at each fall of the year. So that
plant growth, ifnot disturbed by man, tends
to make the soil richer every year till it
becomes magazine of plant food. But
when man comes to the scene and carries
off the plants, the store of fertility decreases.
Plants may get ahead Of uaturo-that is,
they may take up the plant food in the
soil faster than it can be developed by natu-
raj forces
We have no soil here in the United
States that cannot be made infertiie by con-
slant cropping without returning anything
to it. The growing of crops is an cnriching
process, but harvesting them is Il depicting
one. Even the great barren deserts are full
Of piant,Soud, and iu u soluble condition, too.
The sands Of Utah under the influence of
water, have been made to blossom like the
rose, and what water will do in Colorado
it will do in certain sense in Massachusetts
and New England.
1t is said that Massachusetts soils arc no
longer suitable for growing wheat That
crop was grown till the yield ran down to
five bushels per acre then rye was grown
on the same land with yields of twelve
bushels per acre. Why could the rye pro-
duce double the amount of grain, both
requiring the same material iu growth !?
Simply because the rye had the greatest
power to gather this food. After land be.
comes incapable oc producing full crops of
rye, it still may be made to grow a good
crop of corn, partly because the corn has Il
longer period in which its roots can suck
food from the soil, but chiefly because of
its greater root power.
Some plants arc as unlike others in their
ability to live from a soil, are as mules unlike
short horn steers in their ability to live upon
the vegetation that grows from the soil. The
corn plant, with its multitude of roots has
a great power to pump water through the
soil, carrying away at the same time the
dissolved mineral elements set free by the
action Of the air and water, or the in
organic portions of the carth.-Ncw Eng.

a SOAK FOR SEED CoRN.-A correspon-
dent Of an exchange has tried soaking seed
corn in a solution Of chloride of lime, and
says of it "By soaksng seed corn for seven
hours in very strong dccoction of chloride
of lime, corn can be forced ahead to matu.
rity two or three weeks sooner than it will
mature otherwise; besides, he thinks, it
renders the seed almost proof against the

up the germ of the seed, and sends it up

POULTRY MlTES.-Thcse small insects,
after they secure lodgmcnt, may well be
classcd among the pests of the poultry
house. They are often termed lice, but
they belong to the spider family They
inclease with astonishing rapidity, and soon
swarm by millions in the nests, on the
poultry house. They will cause sitting hens
to leave their nests; and We have heard of
instances where they have worried the poor
hens to death on the nests.
The best plan to followis prevention. In
these cases, it is worth more than "a pound
of cure" Clean out your roosting places,
and keep them clean by removing the drop
pings at least once a week, but better re-
move every day. y ten of hen manure is
worth at least one and half tons of the
best commercial guano sold in the State
Keep all the perches well whitewashcd. -
Add to the wash sulphur and carbolic acid
Apply kerosene with brush or rag once Il
week to the roostins poles. In the nests Of
your sitting hens sprinklc sulphur and snuff
or tobacco stems.
Follow the above treatment, and you
will never bc bothered with mites. But
you must commence notc and keep it up.
If you wait till the weather gets warm be-
fore you commence, these pests may get
ahead OF you and cause you more trouble
Afttr they once secure lodsmcnt in your
henncry, ycu can only get rid of them by
sharp, quick war Of determination. You
must make thorough work of it, or your
labor will be lost. Wash all the roosting
perchcs with Kerosene, and whtewash the
walls Of the house. Break up and bum
ali the litter in the nests, and apply scald-
ing waite: to all the parts infested by the
ycrmin. Wash all your fowls with carbol>
ic suds before yon allow them to return to
their clcanscd nests BY this course, with
half days work You can cleanse them out.

PROFITS OF HEAVILY MANURING

Tibwe says, the plots which h!s Iatncr

not soon forget a heavy manaring." This
fact is not unknown to many observing
cultivators Of the soil. The profits derived
from heavy application of manure arc
not to bo calculated merely from the add.

and more still, from the heavy manurine
