village of Kenton into wards. They
will divide the town justly and according
to population and territory, even though
it may be beneficial to them in q party
sense. II the Republicans don't like it,
probably they can refer the matter to
the Supreme Court (P) of Maine. It
would be sure to decide in their favor
when the appeal came from Republi.

The Columbus Democrat pertinently
remarks that "when the Democrats reor-
ganized the State institutions, The air
was full of dismal howls and groans, as
the heads were shorn off. Now, when
the other party is operating the machine
there is no squealing. The Democrats
walk the plank without murmur."

WHEN citizen has the conviction that
there is but one man in the country to
whom the Executive power can safely
be intrusted, he has become monarch
ist. There is no reason, actual or con-

fourth term and for Cincinnati

That is solid talk, and although utter.

tion, declaring the doctrine of secession
dead and buried, but that the right Of a

who refused to support his resolution.

Useful Hints.

Young stock need not be housed until
real cold weather sets in, but they should
have warm shed to lie in at night, and
be kept in frst-rate condition through
this month with turnips, fed tops and
all. 49, km
Sheep bear more exposure than any
other of our domestic animals, mot even
excepting horses, not worked, that is,
exposure to the weather, but not without
shelter from, storms. The ewes ought to
be in lamb by this time, and must be
kept doing well. Half n pint of corn
day each will go far towards keeping
them in good condition. Weed out all
those which show signs of weakness,
have poor teeth, etc, and fatten them if
you can.
1t is much better to kill hogs early
than late. As soon as cold weather
comes on, pigs will gain very little, if
any, and often lose during cold storms.
Therefore, crowd them if not fat enough
to kill. Feed occasionally pulverized
charcoal, keep them clean and warm,
and coax them to eat every ounce pos
sible.
Poultry need to be treated much in
the same way. That is. fattened and
killed early, it intended for market
Though prices usually go up steadily
after the first of January, yet the addi-
tional cost OF fattening in December. or
OF holding poultry after it is fat, is but
rarely paid for by the higher price.

Feeding Horses.

More horses are annually killed or in
jured by overlooking and by injudicious
feeding than by starving or most other
causes. In horses we can detect as
many different temperaments and dis
positions as in man, though but few
horse owners take this fact into consid-
Grafton in the management of their hor-
ses, particularly in that part of it relat-
ing to food and feeding. Some horses
are naturally gluttons, and they must be
seen to carefully, or they will at times
be apt to seriously injure themselves by
feeding too fast, while much of the food
they consume will pass through them
undigested, for the simple reason that it
is swallowed before it has been properly
masticated. We like to see what is
termed a good feeder, Gone who does
net mince or pick his food but then we
are not at all partial to ravenous one.
Such horse as the latter named will
dive into his feed with mouth wide open,
and invariably take more at mouthful
than he can either hold in his mouth or
properly masticate. There are several
ways to fix such fellows, enc way being to
mix some fine hay with his oats; while
moistening the oats or feeding cut food
prevents him pandering to his greedy
propensity. A horse with delicate APP
petite is usually tender, delicate ami
NAL, and not at all desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses, no matter whether on farm,
for farm work or for driving purposes,
is they feed too much hay, and to this
cause can be attributed the general slug
gishness often manifested by the horses
until they have worked couple of hours,
while the wind is also much impaired. -
Night is the only time when hay should
be fed, especially to animals used for
quick work Even the. snow-poy team
should have but little hay at the morn
ing and noon feeds; but give them gen.
erous supply at the evening meal BY
doing this your horse will keep in better
spirits and condition, free from any ten
dency to ''pots belly" which horsemen
so dislike to see.

How to Dress a Turkey.

There is much practical wisdom among
the poultry men that does not get into
the papers or books. A turkey raiser
who prides himself on sending to market
tho handsomest lot of turkeys in his
town, for the Christmas market. tells us
how he dresses his birds.
The turkeys are fed as usual the night
before butchering, and in the morning
are driven in upon the barn floor, as soon
as they come from the roost, and are
made secure: Their crops are empty,
aud they can be caught as theyare want.
ed. Make slip moose of strong cord
.or leach turkey, in AN adjoining stable
or shed. put the turkeys legs into the
moose, and with small pointed knife

before taking the bird down. The tur-
key Is hung up alive aud taken down
ready for market, Lay the bird on his
breast or side upon a clean board to cool.
Turkeys should be carefully handled in
dressing, to avoid breaking the skin, for
it rubs off very easily when they are
warm, Remove all the pinfeathers and
pack the birds. when sent to market. in
clean straw, so that there will be no marks
of blood upon them. Handsome, clean
dressing will add cent pound, and
often more, to the market price of all
kinds of poultry.

An Elegant Affair.

One of the most elegant affairs we have had the good fortune to partici- pate in for many day, occurred Mon- day night at the Eureka House, kept by Madame Doggett. The occasion was banquet given by the bar of Russellville to the members of the Bar Association of the fifth judicial district, which had held a meeting at this place on that day. Through the courtesy of one of the committee of aE- engagement, (Coi. W. c. Ford), Which was composed of W. c. Ford, H. c. Carter and J. c. Wallace, the business were invited, and having laid it down as one of the rules of our life to get all the good we can cut of the world, we went. To do the supper justice is beyond our power. It was simply superb. The committee of arrange ments are to be congratulated upon their good fortune in getting Madame Doggett to prepare the banquet, and hereafter when an elegant table is wanted we predict that thers will be no doubt as to where to go to procure it.
 At the table we noticed the members of the legal fraternity who came to attend the meeting of the Bar Associa- tion, (names given elsewhere), and the following invited guests to wit: Rev. Jerome Haraldson, Mayor s. N. Evins, Messrs. I l.. Roswell Will Miller, Robt. Jamison and Henry Erwin, of the Rus sellville string band, (and here let us remark that these young gentlemen ad- ded largely to the enjoyment of the oc. casion by furnishing some of the best music we have heard in 8 long time Jerusha Jane, included--) and mana ger B. F. lobe and ye scribe of the DEMOCRAT. We believe it was unani- mously acknowledged by all present that Judge L. W. Davis was the most delicate eater present, while the laurels of good looks were easy between Col. W. c. Ford, of our town, and Mir. J. J. Stout, of Lewisburg.

Presidential Straws.

Presidential straws are now being taken all over the country. The In dianapoiis Journal led off with an analysis of Indiana, it being shown that Blaine led in that State with the greatest number of supporters Grant being second, and Sherman close behind him.
 The Philadelphia Times then took the census of the Republican papers of that State, with the same result-Blaine first, Grant second, and Sherman third.
 An analysis made by that paper of the New Jersey Legislature shows nearly equal division among it's members between Blaine and Grant, the former being slightly ahead. and sherman altogether without support
 The Cincinnati Gazette comes next. It proposes to interview fifty Republican citizens in every county in the State on their presidential preferences, Interviews so far have been held in seven counties, with the following result: Sherman 197 supporters, Blame 66, Grant 47
 The Keokuk Gate City interviews seventy leading Republicans of Iowa and finds 34 of for Blaine, 2S for Grant and s for Sherman.
 In Oregon the interviews of the Portland Oregonian show 62 for Blaine, IA for Grant and l3 for Sher' man.
 With few exceptions, notably the Philadelphia Times and the In dianapolis Journal, but little conf dence can be placed in the so-called interviews, as most of them are made to agree exactly with the views of the papers in which they are pub lished.

Mir. s. c. Martin, of Little Rock, a member of the firm of Jas. A. Martin & Son, civil engineers, came up to our town last Thursday and with MT. K. A. Riddle, of thIs place as guide, started out on the work of surveying the road between this place and Harrison. On the morning after they left, MT. Jas. A. Martin the senier member of the firm came up and also went out on the work. They will make thorough inspection of the different routes pro- posed and submit their report and sur vey of the most practicable and econo- mical route. Active work in grading and clearing the road of rocks and im- pediments will then be commenced.
