AGRICULTURE.

LEVEL CULTURE.-At the beginning
of farm life, in order to learn the most
improved methods, | employed first
class farmer and gardener, fresh from
England. He persisted in mode of
cult ration precisely the reverse of
what had been used to see-allowing
the mangels and sugar beets, the corn.
potatoes, peas, beans, cucumbers, mel
ons, tomatoes, cabbages, etc., to go
without hilling up. Mangles and sugar
beets stood high above the grosnd, the
bulbous parts exposed to the sun, many
of the mangles falling over and grow
ing crooked. The part of the cucum-
bers above ground which | insisted
was rather root than a stem, and
should be surrounded by earth was left
entirely exposel to the sun. thought
the sun would parch the roots and they
would break or be injured when the
stem should fall from the upright TO a
horizontal position. The Englishman
would have his way, but agreed I
should treat some of each sort of plants
in NV own way. So a few of all sorts
were hilled up, and fully as well
worked in other respects as his. during
the season. For 4 few weeks mine
grew as well as his, and the cucumbers,
peas, etc., bloomed as early. After one
gathering of cucumbers. peas, ETC., the
dry season set in, mine perished, while
his continued to bloom and bear; and
so of the melons. My potatoes made
about half crop of small tuters, dug
from dry hills; his yielded bounteous-
ly OF large ones, dug from moist earth,
at the same tine and in the same field.
So with the mangels, sugar beets, etc.
they fired early in the season and sue
cumbed to the drought. Without this
experience, if one had said that milling
up growing plants would have killed
them, should have joined in the re-
sp0nse of a million farmers, denouncing
it as false and contrary to experience,
because they did not perish on the day
they were hilled up Ever Since have
avoided hilling and ridglng about grow
ing plants, and cultivated the soil as
level as DOSSible.

WARTS ON HoRsEs.-A correspond
ent of an English agricultural journal
gives the following simple remedy for
curing warts of different kinds on
horses, mules, and cattle: AnOint the
wart three times with clean, fresh
hogs lard, about two days between
times. | have had warts on my
horscs-bleediHg warts of large size,
rattlil.e warts. and seed warts, to
the number OF more than one hundred
on one horses head. | have never
been able 70 find the warts after the
third application of the lard. All dis
appear after the second application.
For cuts, bruises, gals, &C., the appli-
cation of fresh lard-either for man or
beasts worth more than any patent
linimcnts in use. It will remove pam
instantly, and does not irritate raw
flesh, as all liniments do.
IMPROVING THE FARM.-If the farmer
improves his farm he improves his Ii
nanciai condition. The more valuab e
he makes it the more his capital stock
is increased, the larger will be his re-
turns, and when ne dies the larger will
be the patrimony he leaves for his FAM
lily. Fix up the old home then. Clean
out the fence corners. Destroy the noX-
ious weeds. Grub on; the hazel and
the sassafras. Burn cut the stumps.
Clean of the logs and stones. Make a
paradise on earth of your farm, for are
you not 10 live Oh il while you remain
on earth and will not your family live
on it when you lie in yonder grave
yard? Plant out good orchards so that
your family may enjoy the good fruit
that you had the foresight and energy
to provide for them.

GERMAN GOVERNMENTAL POLICY.

Bismarck is consolidating the German
Empire by destroying the liberties of the
ancient free cities of Germany. Hamburg,
Lubbock, Bremen, and others of the old free
ports, are being attacked in turn, and it is
evident that the Chancellor intends to
push the work of Capitalization with unre-
lenting energy. At the same time the ex-
pansion of the military policy which con-
verts the empire into a camp, and which
subjects every citizen to the harassment
and injury of protracted army service, is
steadily driving out the most energetic and
independent elements. Emigration from
Germany has never been so extensive as
now, and from year to year the tide swells
higher. Between the fatuous protective
policy which is lettering German consum-
ers, and the iron military system which
compels every man to sacrifice many of the
best years of life to an Improbable en-
ployment, the German people are being
dealt with very hardly, and it is no won
der that they should seek in other coun-
tries the freedom and the scope of enter
prise which are denied them at home.
Imperial and national grandeur are no
doubt very fine things; but they may be
purchased at too heavy cost, and evil
IDENTIFY this is the conclusion to which mum.
bers of the German people are coming at
present.

O. Beatty at their head Judge Beatty has
long served US without fee or reward and at

themselves familiar with every aspect of our

ter of adjusting the lawsuit now pending,

same time absorb any divine affiatus ca
pable Of enabling them to reach just con-
illusions without inquiry. Until they have
studied the whole railroad question they
are incompetent to express an opinion on
the rates Of freights and fares, and this
fact Messrs. Cone and Beerstecher evident
ly appreciate. General Stoneman's reso-
luton was a most irrational and unjustitia-
bic one, and it is difficult to realize his
motive in introducing it. Ii he wishes to
manifest his regard for the public welfare
he would do well to begin by helping the
Board to get at the facts which can alone
furnish rational basis for ally action.
The expression of "opinions which rest
upon no demonstration, and in support OF
which no data whatever are adduced, can
certainly not tend to further the settle
ment of the important problem with which
the Commissioners have to grapple, while
such exhibitions of fightiness and eccen-
tricity may easily create distrust of the in
telligence responsible for them.

THE BUSINESS DECLINE.

The Clearing returns for. the last
week are far less satisfactory than they
have been for year past. 1t is becoming
apparent that the business boom" has
been ridden too hard, and that the future
has been discounted too freely When the
rise in commercial and manufacturing &C
tivity set in, the REcoRD-UNIoN pointed
out the danger which now appears to have
actually been realized. 1t was then evil
dent to the careful observer that the
boom" was being pushed too rashly,
and that the situation did not justify the
extravagant expectations which were In
dulged. The manufacturers, who had been
losing money for years, were, however,
quite unable to restrain their impotence
to recover their losses. They plunged into
the work of production, and they at the
same time ran up the prices of everything.
This was testing the genuineness of the
business revival too severely. 1t was not
firm enough on its feet to stand an era of
high prices right on the top of long de-
preston, and the result was that the mar
ket began to weaken under the discipline,
and in a short time the demand
declined. At first the greedy manu-
facturers paid no attention to these
signs OF distress, but as no further recovery
took place, and as the tendency to stagna-
tion increased and spread, they at length
took the alarm, apd Just now some of them
are exhibiting apprehensions which are
probably Eo more just than were their pre-
vious great expectations. What is wanted
now, is moderation and patience, and revision
of the tariff. If the political parties could
be prevailed upon to forego their quadren-
ial duel over the Presidency long enough
to inquire into and attend to the material
interests of the country, politics would
suffer nothing from the breathing spell, and
business would be the gamer. 1t is proba-
bic, however, that our business men will
have to learn, through still sharper ex-
perience than they have yet had, how nee
essary it is for them to force their interests
upon Congress, and how little that body
can be depended upon to act intelligently
on anything that is not " live issue"

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The resolution introduced by General
Stoneman at the meeting of the Railroad
Commission the other day was a very ex-
traordinary one. He proposed that the
Commission should commit itself to an
opinion as to the proper maximum rate for
fares and freight on the railroads of the
State, without possessing any knowledge of
the facts upon which to base judgment.
The resolution was very properly rejected
by General Stoneman's colleagues, but it is
not an suspicious introduction TO the labors
of the Commission that its Oldest member
should attempt to take snap judgment
upon most vital question in this way.
The Commission was instituted for the
purpose of investigating the whole railroad
question, and in order to the attainment OF
such knowledge on the subject as would
form the basis for an equitable and
rational tariff readjustment, if that be
found possible. Such proposition as Gen.
eral Stoneman advanced could only be
brought forward with any justice after
the Commission had completed its work
of inquiry and research, and had in its
possession all the data necessary to an in
telligent opinion. To ask the Commission
to give its opinion as to a fair maximum
rate of fare and freight charges in advance
of investigation, is to betray total misap-
prehension of the whole purpose of its or
ganization. Such an opinion could be
formulated by anybody as well as by a
Commission. Denis Kearney and the Sand
Lots could formulate it quite as intelli-
gently as the three gentlemen who now
stand upon the threshold of their work.
When they received their commissions
from the Governor they did not at the

INDIAN FINANCES.

There has occurred great explosion in
Indian finances. The Liberal victory
having removed all motive and capacity
for concealment from the Indian Govern
ment, the fact is brought to light that the
Afghan war has cost about twice as much
as Lord Beaconsfield declared it had, and
that consequently there is deficiency of
four or five millions sterling in the Indian
Treasury. OF course an ingenious attempt
is made to explain the facts plausibly.
First the responsibility is thrust upon the
army. Then number of unforeseen con-
tingencies are called in to account for the
enormous excess of expenditure over
estimates. 1t is obvious, however, that
this last explanation only makes matters
worse, for Of course it was the business of
the Government to ascertain precisely
what drafts on the treasury were likely to
arise, and of course well-administered
Government would not have been deceived
so grossly as to the extent of the demands
for money. The suggestion is in fact I'M
avoidable that the Tories knew that the
Afghan war was costing great deal
more than they had declared it
would cost, and that they were
afraid to let the country know the truth.
Had they been successful in the late cleo
ton they would no doubt have patched up
the Indian finances in some way, and have
managed to hide the ugly deficit for time,
or until Lord Beaconsfeld could have tried
some new speculation. Their crushing
defeat, however, has made it impossible to
keep up the pretense of economy any
longer, and as the English people were only
reconciled to the Afghan war by the as
surances of the Government that it would
be carried on entirely at the expense OF
India, and would entail no increase of tax
alton at home, the disgust and Indignation
at this exposure will no doubt be very
great. The deficit is so large, and the
finances of India are in so very bad a con-
dition, that England will almost certainly
have to bear the surplus expense, and this
will have a strong tendency to reconcile
everybody to the Liberal victory, and to
render near reaction in favor OF the Con-
servatives extremely improbable

SHERIDAN ON MARCHING TINE.

General Sheridan has solemnly asserted
that on one occasion, on the Oregon from
tier, he marched troops at the rate of five
miles an hour. for twelve hours in success.
sion No doubt General Sheridan believes
his troops marched at this rate, and for
that length of time, but in the absence OF
any scientific demonstration we must be
permitted to doubt the accuracy of his sta.
tistics. Five miles an hour is exceedingly
fast walking. There are very few veteran
pedestrians who could keep up such a rate
for half the time mentioned by the General.
And it is highly improbable, not to say i'm
possible, that whole company or regi.
ment should be found capable of so re.
markable feat. We suspect the truth to
be that General Sheridan has no very dis
tinct realization of what walking at the
rate of five miles an hour means.
