Something About Water.

OO1AoGuA1AS LAUOub w dGoIs
Water is ono Of the first osscn-
tials in farming. Eighty per cent.
OF all flesh is water, and even in
what arc called dry food water
must form a largo proportion if
the animal is to be kept in good
thrift. 1t is generally better to
give food somewhat moist for
the purpose, making it moro pala-
table, and, therefore, moro diges-
tiblc. With our Northern ice
bound wintors a good supply Of
water for domestic animals be-
comes a very important considc-
ration. Very often in tho cold
weather, stock will prefer to re-
main under shelter rather than 90
to tho spring or brook where only
icc-cold water awaits thcm. 1t
is worry easy to cause animals to
lose, from want of water, all that
they gain by feeding grain. Lack
OF water is ono reason why it is so
difficult to keep up a flow of milk
in winter. The food is not sue
culont, and the water is generally
SO cold that if a COW drinks all she
requires the chill to the stomach
will impair digestion. Usually
tho animal will not drink enough,
while the coldness of the water
keeps the food from doing as much
good as it should. In all base
mcnt barns (and all barns intcn-
ded for stock feeding should have
q basement under their entire
cxtent) this matter of providing
watcr.ca be settled with COM
parativcly little expense. IF the
water is not too far distant from
tho barn it may be brought close
to the feeding trough in pipes.
II there be not a supply sufficient
for this, cistcrns can be built on
one side Of tho basement, and tho
heat from fattoning stock will
prevent freezing to such an extent
as to injurc tho walls. A barn
40x00 feet will require cistcrn
holding l2O barrels, and this size
will usually accommodate all the
animals that need be fed under
such barn. 10 save room it is
better to make the cistern lust
outside the basement wall and
have the top covered deeply
enough to prevent freezing. The
cistcrn will be filled previous to
the winter with the warm sum
NOR rains, and it will be far into
winter before tho temperature
approaches the freezing point.
Whom roots are fed less water
is nocdcd, and it is a curious fact
that tattcncd animal generally
drinks less in proportion than one
in only store condition. Thcrc is
less water in tho flesh Of a fat ami
NAL than in that of poor one.
1t is probably this fact which has
led farmers to believe that fatton-
ing stock do nc need regular
drink. But the moderate amount
they require must be given rcgu-
larly, or the disquict and rough
appearances Of the coat will show
that something is wrong. II
water is kept by thom all the time
there will be no danger that they
will drink moro than is for their
good. We shall not decrease the
proportion Of water in their flesh
by furnishing less Of that, but
rather by giving moro of fat and
flesh forming clements.
Tor growing all farm crops
water is moro important thar
anything else. There may be alb

Down he went, found the cabbage, got
out tho oil, mustard and vinegar; cut up
tho cabbage, dressed it to tho queens taste,
and ato it ALL
In tho morning, tho wife noticed the

"ilow did you like it?"
"Oh! not very well; it was tough and

"But hero is the cabbage now, where did

"Why, on the second shelf where you

I'HE CIRCLE AROUND TIE SUN.-Thc
magnificent circle which surrounded tho
sun FROM IL A. NJ. until lato hour of
tue afternoon to day attracted tho attention
of oil observers, each in turn pronouucing
judgment on its origin and venturing
opinions ns to its effects, which arc us novel
as they wero striking, an even alarming.
One elderly gentleman, who has had much
experience in these astronomical phenomena
asserts that this circle was not of vapory
composition, such vapory phenomena being
quite frequent, and always indicating raio;
such as the circles around the moon as well
as around the sun. These gray vapory
circles being produced by heavy accumula-
tions of tho rising mists from the waters of
the earth through which the rays of the
sun or moon penetrating, produce these
circles, indicating rain or storms. But the
colorcd circles of to-day, Which combined
all the irdesccnt colors of tho rainbow,
was produced solely by the malari, or tho
myriad of insects in tho atmosphere that
bask in the rays of tho sun, showing that
the atmosphere, being filled with such
insects, must be tho cause of disease. In
1882, our informant say, a similar magnifi-
eou' ciIcic was scen hll over the united
States, around the sun, just previous to tho
breaking out of the cholera of that period
1t was disease which then prevailed all
over the country, producing terror and
distress in all tho large towns and
cities and filling the rural regions with
alarm that drove many people into fright
which nearly killed them before they had
the disease.
AS the samo phenomena in 1882 was
followed by such dire results, what can wo
now look for?--IitsJu'y ItlcyrapA.

is plenty of water, but I have
never seen it. In my expert
ence, OF tho chief points of dife-
renee between poor and rich soil
is that the former, through loss of
vegetable matter, has become
incapable of absorbing or retain
ing moisture. A "thin soilu
quickly dries out. A deep, rich
soil holds moisture and somo-veg-
otable matter carbolic acid will
be formed, and will liberato the
potash, soda, and phosphates,
which the soil requires. In a dry
season there is a slower decompo-
sition ofthe soil and less is made
available for plant food.
On the other hand, lands which
are too much flooded leach out
their most valuable mineral olc-
ments. 1t is on lowlands that the
commercial fertilizers, containing
phosphate and potash, produces
the best results. Flooded river
bottoms are usually rich in vego-
table matter from the soil brought
down from uplands. But after a
few years. cropping such lands
show signs that something is lack
ing. Yet these lands are rich in
many OF the constituents of crops

Very esco.I Sarcasm.

We venture TO suggest to our esteem
ed contemporaries who may be in want
of subjects of campaign investigation
the Mulligan case, reported in the fourth
volume of Wallaee's supreme court re-
ports. Muiligan as a tstraitor'' who
was tried by a military commission dur.
ing tic war, but within the limits of the
state of Indiana, and sentenced to be
hanged. That he was a had man and
little doubt, but there was a question
whether a man could be legally senten-
ced by a military commission within a
jurisdiction III which there were civil
courts sitting for trial of crimes and fel-
onies OF all kinds. Tho matter was
brought before the supreme court at
Washington, and many able counsel APP
peared and made arguments, among
others Gen. Garfield in favor Of Null
ligaD. the case attracted much attention
at the time, and the decision, which was
that habeas corpus ought to issue, was
generally regarded as a triumph for
civil liberty. 1t brought to al eud all
trials by military commissions, and
from that time December, 1860 to this
no Democrat has been Hanged in the
United States except after trial accord
ing to all the forms OF law and verdic.
by a jury. The widespread criminality
prevailing among the Democrats made
the decision of the utmost importance
to them, and l: is singular TO reflect
that, while il was through Gen. Han,
cock that Mrs. Surratt was hung. ii
was partly through the efforts of Gen
/ Garfield that the practice of hanging
democrats by military commission was
brought TO an end.

Some of the democratic organs are say
ing that southern men like Lamar and
Wade Hampton ought to make speeches
throughout the northern states. Suppose
they make such speeches throughout the
north as Hampton made the other day in
trying to reconcile the democratic factions
in Virginia that is, suppose they tell the
country that the cause represented now by
the democratic party emhotlies 1.-THE same
principles for Which Lee and Jackson
fought for four years" and that it is now
time to remember the men who poured
ont their blood for the success of these
principles" /" That would present the issue
in the north just as these eminent demo-
Gratis present it in the south. And it would
probably be highly convincing.
