Rain has continued to fall in unabat-

The ground is becoming pretty thor

harvest were never more encouraging.

THE UNIT RULE.

! The action of the Republican Nation
al Convention in Chicago whereby the
stamp of disapproval has been placed
upon that phase of political machinery
known as the Unit Rule is eminentIy
wise, and in accordance with the views
of nine-tenths of both political parties.
The Republican party rests upon the
principle Of equal rights to all men;
and any trickery whereby the voice of
the minority is choked is a species of
Kukluxism, as inconsistent with the
traditions of the party as is Negro
Slavery.
Now that we have been freed from
this Devil Fish in our caucuses and
conventions let us strike for it's abro-
cation in the case of the election of our
Chief Magistrate. The system of Pres
idential electors is nothing less than
the unit rule intensified. It is sys-
tenn by which the people have been de-
frauded of their rights in the past and
they are liable to be defrauded again.
Let it be abolished at once and for all
time. Let the people vote directly for
the President and Vice-President.
Justice demands it. Common sense
demands it. The people demand it.

vourting around Chicago this week
with canvass spread and colors flying.
Captain Butler has an idea that he is
sailing the Ship of State; but, alas he
has only miserable little yawl, leak
ing in every seam. It has been bonn
barded with gold, riddled with silver,
wrenched by contraction, wrecked in
the sea Of bonded Indebtedness, strand
ed upon bars of bullion, and finally set
adrift, a hopeless, helpless little hulk,
by it's arch-enemy, Resumption.
Benjamin, listen to us. Your case
is hopeless. We have no reason to
doubt your sincerity, for we know
there are thousands who looked upon
the questions Of finance two years age
just as you did, and who still believe
that both Of the great political parties
were in error in their treatment oil
these questions. But, don't you know
that these questions have been settled
against you? Your case is hopeless
In fact it has been settled in such
way that you have no case at all. Yol

The servile, cringing Democrat may
stand erect once more and proclaim
himself man, now that the shackles
forged by the usurping oppressor are
broken. No more will His Imperial
Majesty dream of Empire in the West.
And this fair land, which seemed but
yesterday to be a poor, withered thing,
blooms again in all it's beauty, and the
Democrat is free,-free as the air he
breathes, and is not liable to cringe
and deplore the loss Of his inestimable
rights, and weep over the shattered
republic for about four years to come.

Corn Smut and Cattle.

In the fall of the year there is always
frequent complaint of cattle dying after
being turned into the corn field, when
husking is done. Usually this fatality
is attributed very enormously to the
fungus or smut so common on the stalks.
One farmer will affirm that he knows
this to be the cause, having seen the re-
suits so plainly, and so many times, that
there is no possible room to doubt it.
Another testiGes with equal energy and
certainty that his cattle have eaten corn
smut time and time again, and that not
the least injury has happened. If this
fungus is poison, it must always
operate in the same way. Poisons do
not work differently in different cases.
Arsenic will poison one man just as
quickly as another, and one animal as
soon as another animal; and if corn
smut can be eaten with impunity by one
herd of COWS, it can be eaten with i'm
punity by all COWS. That cattle do eat
it without injury, we know, and so do
many of our readers. So we conclude
that it is not poison.
The trouble in such cases is not caused
by the smut but by the stalks themselves,
which cause an impactiOn of the third
stomach. The cattle are turned among
the stalks, and without sufficient water,
are permitted to eat their fill of the dry
over ripe, indigestible fodder. The re-
suit is death and the smut gets the
credit. The same result often happens
from other causes. A sudden change
from dry food to the stimulating fresh
grass of spring, from soft to hard water
or the taking of lead into the system
will cause it.
The symptoms of the inpaction, in
acute cases, are drowsineSs and stupor,
accelerated pulse and breathing hard
ness and tenderness under the right
short ribs and tremor of the muscles.
At later stage the eyes glare, the ami
nal moves about regardless of obstacles
often breaking its teeth and horns
against the more solid impediments to
its course and believing fearfullv in the
meantime Death often results in a few
hours.
So far as feeding upon corn stalks is
a cause of this trouble, it may be pre-
vented by not allowing the animal to
feed until it is gorged and by giving it
free access to plenty of water. We al
ways followed this rule, and never had
any trouble with cattle that had eaten
stalks or smut. Western Rural.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Seventy different species ofvegeta-
bles with over 400 varieties, are grown
in the gardens of the United States.
Farmers should make their home
so attractive that the affections of the
children will cling to it and return to it
often during their wanderings, as the
sweetest place on earth.
To Turn a Horn.-A country paper
thus tells how to turn horn: RaSp
the horn on the outside if you wish to
turn the horn in. 1t will give life to
that part and increase its growth Won
derfully on the side rasped. You can
give the horn any shape you please by
scraping.
Sauce Robert.-Put two medium
sized onions, chopped very fine, with a
large lump of butter, in Stew-pan; let
them brown well, constantly stirring;
add teaspoonful of flour mixed with
half a pint OF good stock; salt and pep
per; cook about five minutes; add tea
spoonful of mixed mustard and one OF
vinegar.
For storing onions, there is no bet
ter place than a dry, cool and airy loft,
where they can be spread out thinly
and often looked over for the removal
of those which may have begun to de-
cay. Warmth and moisture are fatal to
the keeping of onions and much hand
ling is almost equally so.
The Country Gentleman says it has
been fully proven by chemical eXamina-
ton and otherwise, that plants in liv-
ingrooms, or in bedrooms, rather purify
the air than otherwise. Yet they may
in some cases prove injurious in sick
rooms, when the odor is offensive to in
valids, Whatever annoyS the sick does
harm to greater degree than healthy
persons can understand.
Black Leg in Calves.-There is no
cure for the disease in calves known as
black leg or carbuncular erysipelas,
when the swellings on the fankS and
legs have appeared, In fact, cure may
be said to be impossible at any stage,
but prevention is easy. Just at this
time the disease is imminent with calves
taken from a poor pasture and taken on
to good feed or into corn stubble. To
prevent danger, give each one ounce of
linseed oil daily for three days, and do
not let the calves overfeed themselves

/, things it describes could exist in any
