generously in the way of space for the rea-
son that, unless it is altogether piece of
fallacy, it shows the forlorn condition and
hope of the democrats at this period of the
canvass, and that the republicans have only
to press on the column vigorously through
the month of October to make victory a
certainty. The noise and confusion raised
by the democrats over fncied victories and
forlorn hopes is only Chinese tactics and
should bring no alarm even to the most
timid. Trusting in the justice of our cause
and in the abundance of our resources, the
republican party has only to deserve a
triumph to win it, Let there be no more
doubling or halting, but with a bold and
firm front and determined action all along
the line democratic defeat is assured.

MINOR IOPICS.

AMONG the questions for discussion at tho
present council Of the presbyterian church is
the falling Off in the number of converts to
that church. In 1876 4s,24O persons Joined
that church in this country, In 1877 the mum.
Der had dropped TO 13 900. In 1878 there was
a further decrease TO 80, 600 and in 1870 the
number had reduced to 20 900. This year only
10000 have united with the church. The
contr buttons TO the various religious objects
in which the church has interest have seriously
diminished in amount the average reduction
being nearly seven per cent, per annum since
1876. These striking results of what may be
termed moral apathy it Is to be hoped will
not continue. The church is not one to re.
main passive or inactive long. The elements
of vitality are there; it is the natural mother
church Of all the Scotch.Irish population Of
the country, and they have not ceased to be
either prolific or religiously inclined. While
this general decline in vigor has been viewed
with serious apprehonsons by one of the
church journals, tits probably only temporary

Management Of Dairy Stock.

In paper on this subject, recently
read by DR.. A. s. Heath before the New
York Farmers Club, many valuable
suggestions were made upon the subject
of feeding dairy stock
Grass causes the most liberal secre-
tions of delicious milk. But this con-
dition of young, succulent and plentiful
grass cannot be relied upon as alone
sufficient food for the largest milk pro-
duction for more than sixty days of the
whole year. The rest of the three hun
dred and five days the cows must have
extra feed. This must consist of the
different kinds of fodder for the different
seasons. In the early season, green rye,
green oats, earlier and later roots, green
corn and hay. But green corn cannot be
.protitably fed till in early tassel, nor
should corn meal be fed in hot weather.
nor for the same reason should cotton
seed meal and linseed cake be fed un-
til the cool Or cold season, for less ami
mated heat is required to be supplied to
the cow. -i:
Pure water and salt must be supplied
to milch cows ad libitum, as eighty
seven per cent. of the milk consists of
water, and where salt is sparingly sup
piled the digestive powers of the cow
are enfeebled, and the milk is defective
in keeping quality, and probably, also,
in quantity and quality.
Care, kindness, quiet, moderate ex-
ercise, regular and judicious feeding
are all important factors in milk supply.
The largest percentage of flavor in
cheese and butter is found in young
grasses, but in very young fodder-corn
these essential qualities-caseine, but
ter, sugar and aroma-are deficient,
but improve up to the time of early
Towering, when the sweet-corn fodder
is at its best, and should be fed with
shorts or bran sprinkled over the cut
and wilted fodder.
Green oats is a good soiling crop, and
bran is an admirable food in a slop. 1t
produces a large quantity of milk. and
it can be fed with safety in the hottest
weather. Meal may be added to bran
as the weather becomes cooler.
Milk removes much phosphate Of
lime, and the pastures should be sOwn
with ground bones or rock phosphate OF
lime. Wool removes sulphur, and
therefore sheep pastures are improved
by plaster or sulphate of lime. Ashes
and salt are of the highest value to
pastures. But when the pastures have
too far failed, it is better economy to
plow them up as fast as possible, and
sow them to pasture grasses and seed
to oats, to shade the young shoots and
tender roots. Meadows may be past
ured in the dry season after the crop
has been removed, but never in the
early spring or late fall. The air sup
plies most of the organic matter, and
thus helps to keep the land good when
we sell off part of the products, which
are part of the farm or soil itself.
Good milk requires good sound food,
and large yield of milk requires a
large supply of good sound food.
Warm and airy stables, great cleanli-
ness with the animal and her products,
judicious feeding of cows, and feeding
of pastures, are the indispensable means
to supply milk in quality, quantity, and
soundness capable of resisting decay.

Death From o Spider Bite.

Among the certificates of death pre-
sented at the Health Office Yesterday
was one from DR.. B. B. Adams, relative
to the death of little child of Mr.. Ev-
ans, q carpenter, residing on B Street,
the cause Of which was stated to be lock-
jaw, resulting from bite of a spider.
An investigation last evening developed
the following story: About three weeks
ago the parents of the child were awak-
ened by its screams as If in agony,
and discovered blood issuing from a
wound in the neck. No animal could
be found about the premises, when it
was suggested to look in the bed. Upon
turning down the bed-clothes q large
black spider was discovered, its paunch
distended with the blood of its victim.
1t was instantly killed, and remedy ap-
piled to the child which was suffering
greatly. DR.. Adams was called to at
tend it a few days after, and did every
thing in his power to save it. but all to
no avail. Lock-jaw set in on Monday,
and yesterday morning death kindly
ended the little sufferers troubles. Sew
eral instances of persons being bitten by
spiders in this locality were mentioned
last night, one of whom, q colored
woman: employed in the Treasury, was
terribly bitten through the lower lip,
causing it to swell up to the size of q
gourd. Prompt application of the prop
er remedies, however, quickly relieved
her, but she suffered excruciatingly fol
