voting the republican ticket is an
insult to their manliness and intelli-
gence that they will not quietly
brook. To charge that an Ameri-
can mechanic is not man enough to
stand to what he thinks right is
confession of deliberate malice or
shameful ignorance.
The cause for these attacks is
found in the fact that, as demo
cratic workman informs US, at least
100 men who have been voting the
democratic ticket IN the past will
turn ont next Tuesday and deposit
ballot for . pure administration of
affairs, national and state, and for a
tariff which will be to them as the
staff Of life for their wives and little
ones, and will be the means Of keep
ing their wages up to a standard.
when, instead of half living, as
in all free trade countries, they car
exist comfortably and lay by little
sum for the proverbial ''rainy day,
or their old age. This is where the
shoe pinches and their contortion'
are beautiful spectacles to all friends
of honest American labor.

cations Montana will not prodace a surplus
Of grain for five years at least. and by that
lime we will have transportation facilities
sufficient to warrant its shipment to the

The agricultural population is being mu-

IRRIGATING FARM LANDS.

The leading ngriculturalists of the nation
vantage OF irriga!ing, as would seem from
the following from recent issue of the
Germantown Telegraph:
1t seems to be the universal testimony
OF ali who have visited those countries
where there is no rain, aud where they have
to depend wholly on irrigation from great
rivers or mountain streams for all their ag-
ricultural works, that they raise immensely
superior crops to those who can raise by
trusting to Nature in the rain she gives.
We have sometimes too much, and then the
roots suffer, vegetation becomes yellow and
sickly, and blights and disease follow. Or
perhaps we are weeks or even months
without any, and then there is but halt a
crop-otten mere than enough to pay tor
seed and labor. The first we can remedy
by surface bitches Or undertaking, but we
have have seldom given thought to how
much might be done towards remedying
the other by introduing water artiticially.
1t is said by writer's on western irrigation
that the whole cost OF lrrlgatlng ali acre
of ground is about dollar anG half per
annum. This is very little, and ii our fields
and gardens could be aided In Il dry time, at
anything like this cost, 1t would be in COM
mon language a big thing. But there are
large cooperative companies, or even city
irrgating works, and of course where so
many are interested the proportionate cost
to each is lighter than 1t could be where
one man took TO irrigating on his own ac-
count. Bat even at cost OF five or in some
cases of ten dollars an acre for years VIA
ter, there are many years and many crops
pay well, and there is on many farms album
dant means of irrigating large tracks at o
n,,cl, less cost than this. At present there

qrs., and the stock IN the docks has further
declined to little over 22,oOo qrs. An ae-
tive business has been done in wheat at a
marked rise in values.
AT Aniens and Chartres the supplies
nave been very small, and ready sale has
been experienced for wheat and oats at 80
per cent. more money
Variable weather has prevailed in Ger
many, but drought is much complained of.
and the grain and oil seed crops have not
derived amy benefit from the sudden changes
OF temperature to which they have been
subjected OF late. The dry cold weather
has seriously comprised the prospects of the
rye crop.
AT Hamburg the wheat trade has ruled
firm, with u good local const,mptive de-
tnand at fully late rates. Some signs OF a
French inquiry have also been apparent.
but it has not hitherto resulted in amy ac-
tual business, as prices are rather too high
to leave a margin for exploration. Very few
transactions have taken place in barley,
the season being now terminated, aud NAL.
the small remaining stocks for holding over.
Feeding corn of all descriptions has been
firm and in good request, and as there is a
great lack Of green food owing to the
drought. @.r H.~
At Danzig, Holland and Belgium they
have been buying wheat freely a, xdvanc-
ing prices, but there has been no demand
for the United Kingdom. ."
Recent advices from Southern Russia
speak untavorably of agricultural prospects.
Nearly all the winter wheat has been lost.
while the condition of Spring sown leaves
much to be desired. The fodder crops are
proving failure in every direction, and dis
couragement prevails among the popnla-
ton. At Odessa activity has prevailed in
the grain trade, and decided advance has
taken place in the value of wheat and
maize.
The weather in Algeria has continued
fine and barley cutting has become general.
Grain of all descriptions has advanced in
value at Oran.
At Alexandria the supplies of wheat and
beans from the up country have been rather
on limited scale, but brisk consumption
and speculative demand has been expert
enced in both articles. The export move
ment to SyIi, has il % tended to keep up the
price of wheat TO a level, which renders
shipment Impossible.

done in connection with grass.lands. A
small plow-turrow is drawn around some
hillside on level, and connecting with
some spring or stream and the water occa-
sionally turned on, by which the water
courses OH the ground, covering the hill
sides below. Our hay-makers not unire-
quently make use Of water artiticially in this
way; but this we believe il the whole ex-
tent to which water is artiiicially applied
from running streams or ponus. But there
is no reason why in many instances it
might be SO arranged that wheat, oats, corn,
potatoes, or anything whatever that loves
rain in dry time. might be benefited to an
enormous extent. That Colorado can raise
fifty bushels Of wheat to the acre has been
over and over again proved, and that this is
III great measure owing to ile system Of
irrigation which gives the plant just US much
wafer as it needs and no more, is fully dem
onstrated. lfby getting this command OF
water Wien it was needed, we could get
fifty bushels Of wheat to the acre for an out
lay OF a few dollars per acre, surely it
would pay we'll.
We do not need irri gatiol as they do la
the FAR West rs substitute for rain; but az
4 useful aid to nature we do think that much
more might be made Of it than mas been
hitherto attempted.

KITCHENS.

Men build Kitchens, but women work In
them, hence the fact that many are the very
reverse Of convenient, and seem to be PLAN
ned to cause rather than spare unnecessary
steps. The parlor, sitting-room, etc., are
the pets of an architect, but the Kitchen,
most important OF all, gets settled just where
there chances to be space for it. 1t is often
at the back of the house with no pleasant
prospect before its windows to cheer the
eyes of the "wimlnin tolks'' who have to
toll there.

have the cook stove, pantry and cellar as

would be glad TO save her strength for bet

LONDON LETTER.

But a few weeks since and agricultural
reports in this country were of somewhat
sonficting character rs to the condition OF
aearly all descriptions of growing produce,

growing rapidly, the pastures have i'm

looked for change takes place, harvest pros
poets are fairly promising.
AZ The commencement of last week some
.aander storms occurred in France, at
'ehded by a copious fall of rain, which gave
great satisfaction to farmers, who were be-
coming alarmed at the discoloration and
packward appearance OF the wheat fields

numerous, and have been probably p.o-

There are, however, distinct early and late

class having their special advantages in our
Southern agricultural economy. The vari-
cites commonly known here as Speckled,

THE "F1ELD Or +. coW-p1E.n

Much has been said and written of late
upon the value OF this plant both as man
urial agent for improving exhausted soils
and as a stock feed and probably nothing
has been exaggerated as to its intrinsic
wortb-especially TO Southern agricnlture

has been suffered to remain and be con-
sumed at will by stock turned III to CLEAN
tue fields, thus extravaganly wasting ii,
often to the detrinent or death OF tile ami
mails. AS far back as twenty five years ago,
an animated discussion took place in our
Southern agricultural papers, as to the ben
eft or value OF the pea tor stock Our
journals were filled with able, spirited con
tributions, "pro and CON- some contend
ing The pea was destructive to hogs and cat
lie. great numbers OF those feeding on it
dying In The spring, especially upon the
lime lands of Georgia, AlabaEa and Mis-
sssippi. Some planters even abandoned
the production OF the plant, owing 10 such
losses regularly occurring among their
stock. 1t was cOntended that the lime
stone waters consumed with this food in
~, <Scle1 1S.,x -
mortality among stock. At last, the gener-
al conclusions was reached that some yarie-
ties of this plant-even the most valuable
when eaten greedily by cattle and hogs,
would produce very serious consequences.
Late ENTHUSIASTICALLY called Tory Y
pea, . Little Black = Red-ripper''-small
and hard when taken into the stomach of
the animal without due mastication, were
as fatal as a surteie of clover; while larger,
soft varieties might be eaten without any
apparent evil consequences.
The hogs were observed to die in spring
after having been tattened upen the pea,
and there was no known help for the pecu-
liar wasting that occurred after this crop
had been eaten, and the animal, de pending
upon Indian corn and poor pastures for sup
port, died. Such is the fact; and great pre-
caution must be used in feeding hogs when
taken from snrteit of this food. | think
the cause of this can be satisfactory found
in the sudden development of the animal
upon highly concentrated TODD followed in
the spring by as sudden poor and insufficient
aliment like that usually given here to stock;
hence they are predisposed to the fall VIC
inns OF every disease. But this does not
destroy the value of this plant as aM article
