TIE THIRD, TEEMERs.

Now that Kentucky, Missouri and
other Southern States have wheeled
into line with the Third Termers OF
New York and Pennsylvania, and de-
clared for Grant first, last and all the
time, it is clearly apparent that the
"Silent Man will be nominated on the
first ballot in the Chicago Convention.
In this event there is certain to be a
schism in the ranks Of the Republicans,
as many of the ablest, oldest and most
respected members of the party, not
only in New York and New England,
but also in many Western States,
have emphatically declared that they
will not support Grant. An address
issued to the Republicans OF Massa-
causetts and signed by large number
of influential members Of the party,
such as William G.. Russell, Henry L.
Pierce, Otis Norcross and Abbott Law
renee, urges them to oppose the pomin-
alton of Grant, and select candidate
who will command the confidence and
enthusiasm of all Republicans and in
vite the support Of citizens who are not
strongly bound to any party, and yet
have a deep interest IL good govern
ment.
In this State, though large major
ity of the Republicapparty is undoubt-
edly opposed to Grants nomination, no
recognized leader has the courage to
speak out against third term. The
Woodburns and Taylors, who are en-
gagged every two years to stump the
State in the interest of the Republican
party, are pronounced Third Termers,
though when Grant run for a first term
they opposed him. Congressman Dag
gett is also said to be an ardent Third
Termer, though the platform On which
he was elected declared against it. If
there was any sincerity in politicians,
and platforms were, intended to mean
anything, evey candidate who endorsed
the Eureka platform OF two years ago,
and every newspaper which approved
OF it and commended it TO the public,
would to-day, in accordance with the
princinles laid down in that platform.
be outspoken against third term, not
only for President, but for State
officers. But in less than two short
years the situation is changed and
there is not a Republican paper in the
State that has the courage to advocate
the principles enunciated in convention
at Eureka one year ago last Septembsr.
Truly has it been said, that party
platforms are traps to catch gulls
WITH" but it is the fault Of the masses
that such is the case. When officers
are held to the strict letter of the prom
ises they made to the people as candi-
dates, then. platforms will not be the
traps to catch gudgeons they now are.

Among the many novelties recently ex-

size of the older varieties of browallia.

it no special care.

Sales of MerinO Sheep.

We have been furnished the following
memorandum of sales of sheep from
Pomfret and vicinity, some coming from
Woodstock, Hartford. Randolph, etc.. by
A. f. Perkins, Esq: There have been
sold from here twenty-five hundred sheep
(Merinos), of which seven hundred were
purchased by parties in Addison county,
and have undoubtedly gone in to make up
the amount of sales reported by them
Six hundred have gone TO Maine, six hun
dred more to Texas, two carloads to Ohio,
the balance to Michigan, Colorado, etc.
The Merino breeders of Windsor coun-
ty are in condition to sell a larger
amount of better sheep than ever before,
for through the dull times for sheep and
wool they stuck to the business, and took
that time to improve their stock, and now
the better market has encouraged them
still further in Improvement and better
care of their flocks.
In looking over some of the fine hocks
in town not long since, we were almost
tempted to quit dairying and go int sheep
raising, but when we remembered that
such success was the result of years of
experience and much labor, it cooled our
arlor little. We believe it is the man
who sticks who is successful, and not the
man who ohengss his business overy time
there is rise in particular kind of stock
or business. Such an one goes in when
the prices are high, and sells out when
they are low, and some other stock is
booming. Think we shall stick to the
milk pail and the Jerseys awhile longer
yet.

Good Seed, 2

We are just putting in the White Rus
sian wheat we bought of Prof, Dole, and
we are much pleased with it, 1t has been
well cleaned and the shrunken and small
kernels taken out. If 1t will give good
crop on good land well prepared. it will
satisfy us. 1t is very handsome grain. and
is said to yield well.
And just here we must say that we think
too little care is often taken in seed plant
ed. The best comes only from the best,
and why large crops of fine, clean grain
should be expected when poor, shrunken,
immature seed is sown we can't imagine
and sowing good seed and caring for the
crop, we expect good harvest. "Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field Z
from whence then hath it tares?"

The pen is more than usually unman.
ageable to the editorial fingers this week,
for spreading manure is hard work, and
fingers are stiff and clumsy after it, and
spreading manure is the one work more
likely to be slightingly done than any
other we happen to think of. The idea
often prevailing is that expressed when
the man said: whats the odds whether
its all SO fine and even or notp-it's all
there" So it would all be there if you
tipped load in place on half the piece
and none on the rest, but only half the
crop would be benefited by the applica-
ton, and not half the manure would be
utilized by the growing plants.
There is no part of farm work which
will pay better for careful, thorough doing
than spreading the material which is to
supply food to the growing crop. Break
up all the Jumps and spread it as evenly as
possible.

FARM DRAINAGE. The experience of
the past few years in Illinois, Indiana
Ohio and Iowa in tile-draining has opened
the eyes of a great many farmers in these
and other western states to its value. The
meetings of tile manufacturers during the
past two or three months in different
states have disclosed facts which are not
devoid of interest. There are lao tile
factories in the six states of Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
where there We're but 400 in 1870.
Indiana has 4S6, Illinois 32O,and Ohio $50.
During the last year the manufacture
reached l75,00O,0O0. valued at S2,8l2, 500.
The average depth of laying the tile is 80
inches,and the cost of digging varies from
10 TO 80 cents yard, but in the yield of
crops the increase is from 25 to 100 per
cent.-Prair6e Farmer.

TIE INTERNATIONAL DAIRY FAIR
New York no longer holds the banner for
fine cheese. 1t now waves north of the
St. Lawrence, having been honorably
captured by Canada. Iowa still retains
her reputation for fine butter. An Ohio
man who neither owns a factory nor
makes any cheese, took first aad second
prizes on Ohio cheese. The limited display
from Ohio will probably be the last, should
another fair be held
AS n reliable representative of tho Fdrna-
er, it is but proper for me to say that the
dairymens and farmers interests have
been lost sight Of here. The great buyers,
manufacturers, shippers and commission
merchants are the head and tail and body
of the concern, and to them belong the
spois. if there are any. Farmers and
darymen have themselves to blame for
not being properly represented. Had a
sufficient number stepped forward and
pooled their issues" with the present
the fair might have been great
benefit to them. To have premiums taken
by dealers who collect samples from
various localities, and attach locality to
them. is not just the thing. Ohio took
premium on Chedder cheese, thing out
of keeping with the practice there The
samples were made specially for the
fair. Ohio makes flat cheese She
makes no full stock cheese-at least very
few. The bulk of her cheese is half
and so on down to the "cream-
ory' cheese made from that which cannot
be induced to become butter. Unless
A state or locality can be properly repre-
sented at a fair, it would be better to have
no representation. Correspondence Ohio

Corn.

The New York Times man gets enthusi-
astic over corn-we mean the crop, net
the juice-after this fashion:
Corn is the most important agricultural
product of America. 1t is an American
plant, and was found in cultivation by the
natives on the discovery Of this continent.
Being then cultivated not only by the
inhabitants of the West Indies and Cen
trail America, but also by the Indians of
the northern part of the continent, it must
have been in use for ages previously, for
products are not disseminated very rapid
ly among savage tribes. Then it formed
the staple food of its cultivators, and corn
is now the staple food, either directly or
indirectly, in the shape Of beef, pork,
mutton, poultry, eggs, milk, butter, ETC.,
of the present inhabitants of this CONT
nent. For its grain and fodder it occupies
the first place as farm crop, and its
importance to the agriculturist cannot be
estimated. No other crop is so easily and
protitably grown; SONG yield. lesser or
greater, is certain, whatever the soil or
season, or whatever may be the treatment
the crop receives.
however, should not be taken advantage
of. If ten or twenty, or even forty, bush
els per acre may be grown without care,
the enterprising farmer will not be content
with that, but will exhaust all the posi-
bilties of his skill, means, and soil to
double or treble this product. And no
crop repays liberality of culture more
beautifully than corn. What may be the
ultimate possible yield per acre one cannot
say, but year by year the largest previous
yield is surpassed. until now the largest
product has reached, with sudden bound,
up to two hundred and forty bushels of
shelled corn per acre. Heretofore one
doubted and looked incredulous when
seventy-five or eighty bushels per acre
were mentioned, and smiled Or laughed
outright when one hundred bushels was
limited at; the grower, meanwhile, for
very fear of being classed as II boast
er of the Munchausen type, timidly lay
ing Calm 10 "about one hundred BUSH
els" and leaving open doubt OF some
unintentional mistake in the matter
But SO many persons of irreproachable
character and modest department have
claimed to reach one hundred bushels or
over per acre, and the evidence is so album
dant of the truth of it, that it is not gener-
ally doubted any more.
Excuse us, but we fear it still is general
ly doubted, in the latitude and longitude
of New England at any rate. Corn is q
valuable and important crop, and no doubt
large yields have been secured by some
exceptionally good farmers, but Mr.. Frank
Jones' hundred dollars prize for one
hundred bushels of sheled corn grown on
an acre still remains uncalled for. Perhaps
modesty and " fear of being classed as
boaster of the Munchausen type" has pre-
vented it.

GIVE CURRANT WoRNs TO HENS. We are
never troubled with worms which almost
always infest bushes among which the
grass has been allowed to grow. During
the summer we scatter feed about the
plants, and the hens pick it up; and with
it, all grubs that may be in the soil. They
are allowed to wallow among the bushes,
and the loose soil makes it favorite resort
for them. Thus the ground is kept clean,
and no worms effect a lodging on the bush.

keep down weeds and grass.

PLANTS GLOWING IN WINDOWS
Thousands who try to grow plants in pots,
tubs or boxes, fail mostly because they let
the pots be exposed to the hot sun. Now
we never see the roots-that is that part
which draws nutriment from the soil
fully exposed to the sun in state of ma.
ture, and this should teach window gar
deners to shade the pots and boxes in
which their plants grow.
Another cause of failure is allowing the
leaves to get dusty. The leaves being in
reality the lungs of the plant, it is impera
tive that they should be kept clean. |
have often been asked why plants did not
do well in windows, and it is often quite
difficult to answer without seeing the
plants, but the general failures occur from
the causes have named, for it stands to
reason that if half the roots of plant are
burned off repeatedly and the leaves are
killed with dust, that sickness will be the
result. 1t is easy to clean off the dust by
taking little broom or brush and dipping
it in water and flirting it over the leaves

Losses IN FEEDING-It is a we'll settled
fact that large per cent of the food of
poorly bred stock is utterly wasted. Only
well bred stock of any kind have a good
capacity for assimilating their food. When
a given quantity of feed may with conf
dence be relied on to make ten pounds of
beef, pork, ETC., when fed to we'll bred
stock. it is a fact of all experience that
when fed to poorly bred animals it will
fall large per cent short of that number
of pounds. The difference, rs already
stated. lies in the widely different capacity
to assimiate and digest. So it is seen
that the laws of breeding lie at the bottom
of the matter. Farmers and stock men,
when considering the matter of stock on
the farm, should consider whether it is
their interest to be content with that class
of low bred stock which certainly results
in farm waste; especially so when with a
good animal they can soon firing up their
stock to higher grades. A good one at the
head of the herd may cost a hundred or
two dollars, but not half so much as the
usual annual waste of food and time
