The suspicion that the annual messages
of the presidents are not generally read. in
duced paper at Syracuse, n. y, to in
Iuire of 2l3 prominent men, how many had
read the last message of President Hayes.
OF them only IL had read the message, 30
had glanced at it, % had read portions of
it, l0S hoped to get time to read it some
day, and the rest had hardly an idea even
of its existence. There is a moral in this

THE failure of the senate to confirm the

tion of Mr.. MAYER, who has filed the po-

partment of justice, as well as that of the
stalwart republicans of Alabama. Coming
on the heels of the Chicago convention, the
nomination Of Governor SMITH excited the
angry feelings of every supporter of Gen

cent history of Alabama politics 1t was n
severe slap in the face to those upon whom

ident will reconsider his resolve and make
no change, at least until the end of the

motives of the president, t, such appointments

Corea and 20 ask satisfaction for the MUIR

our naval force was defeated by peculiarly
Corean tactics. There was no one TO treat
with and no one TO fight. The towns and
coasts were absolutely deserted. There is
no justice in forcing our attentions and our
trade on these unwilling people. Ii it is

Exhaustion Of the Soil.

II is certainly monotonous TO grow
the same crop on the same field for
twenty or thirty years, but it is only
in such monotony that satisfactory
answers can be obtained to some of
the most important questions in
agricultural practice. 1t is in the
fact that DR.. Lawes has conducted
experiments with several different
crops upon the same plots for such a
long series Of years, and with great
care, that the deductions coming from
his work are of such value. The
recent statement in regard TO his
turnip experiments are in point, and
we quote them below, not because
they relate to turnips-which are
with us very unimportant crop as
compared with their relation to Eng.
lish farming-but as an illustration
of the disastrous effects upon Amer.

or later, follow the great wheat farm.

In ls45 the land taken into turnip
experiments at Rothsmsted, and
manured with superphosphate of
lime, gave II tons per acre of bulbs
and 4 tons of leaves. II has been
under experiments ever since, but no
succeeding crop has been so large,
and at the present time n full supply
of potash, superphosphate, and other
mineral manures, will not produce
more than 1 or tons of roots TO the

Swarming Extraordinary.

There are doubtless many bee fam

interested in the experience of Mr..

bees, as related in the Ohio Farmer !:
The first swarm came out May 3,
and was put in a hive filed with
comb. On the 10Th of May the Sec
ond swarm came out, and was hived
with a weak swarm. On the Goth the
third swarm came out. and was hived
with the second and the weak swarm.
On the 2lst the fourth swarm came
out. Mr.. Kern caught the queen and
killed it, and put the swarm back TO
the old colony. On the 23d the fifth
swarm came out. lie caught two
queens and killed them, and put the
swarm back again. On the 25tb, at
nine O'Clock A. NJ, the sixth swarm
came out. He caught two queens
again and killed them, and put the
swarm back again, The same day,
at three o'clock p. NJ, the seventh
swarm came out again. This time
he hivcd them in an old straw hive
and set them on top of the old hive
In the evening of the 25th be shook
them down in front of the old hive
again, and that settled for the time
the swarming fever of the old hive
But on the 2Gth of June, the first
young swarm threw out a very large
swarm, and on July Sd threw out a
second swarm, and about five minutes
later a swarm came out Of the old
hive again. He hived both swarm'
together and sold them for 5000 cash
All these swarms made 235 pounds

A Principle in Feeding,

From the American Agrieulturist.
All food beyond such amount that
is properly digested and assimilated
by the animal is a source of loss to
the owner, and that in two ways: |:
First, the food is lost; and second,
the animal is not kept in the best
condition for getting the most out of
its feed--its stomach is overloaded
and its digestive apparatus more or
less disarranged. Just inside the
limits of assimilation is the poitt TO
have in view in feeding; in this way
the animal will have a good appetite,
and other things being equal, Is sure
TO give the best returns for food
consumed. There is q golden mean
in feeding farm stock, which the
farmer should find.

Manure Making.

Cor of Philadelphia Beoors.
To make manure of any snd every
thing on the farm for which there is
no better use, should he the aim OF
every true farmer. 1t Is, in fact, as
the slip-shod, shiftless farmer is un-
worthy the name of "true" farmer.
The first and chief source of manure
on the farm is the excrementitious
matter coming from live stock.
Chemistry shows that the liquid por-
tions are worth even more than the
solid hence il should be the farm
er's study TO save both. How can be
do ity Easily, enough, If so deter.
mined. First, let him put the cost
of his absurd fences into barns with
Easements under,) and all planned
with n view to housing both the
stock and their excrements, the lat
ter at least until it can be safely ap-
piled TO the land. Everything that
can he used as an absorbent-straw,
chaf, cornstalks, potato tops, leaves,
dry muck, road dust or even sand,
salt hay, sea weed, etc, etc, should
be placed "where 1t will do the most
good"-under the animal, behind him,
or under the floor in the basement If
dry drippings 90 in that direction.
The straw, stalks, weeds, bog hay or
muck OF the ordinary farm furnishes
the material for vast quantities of
manure-vast, at least, as compared
with present results. The hen house,
the privy, the wash tub, the kitchen
sink, can all be drawn upon for large
supplies, though ordinarily most of
IL goes TO waste. Receptacles for
dry muck or dry sawdust, into which
slops could be conducted, could be
easily made and with less expense
than fenees--fences, the most silly
investment ever thought of for tilla-
BILE land and money needing men.
The cost of fences put into barns,
and stables and drainage and manure
cisterns--in a ~oTd, into improved
farming--would add hundreds of
millions to the wealth of the agricul-
tural classes. IL adopted at once and
universally 1t would create q greater
revolution In the country than did
the discovery of gold in California.
Stable manure excels all other fer.
tilizers in this-that tits more nearly
a complete manure, furnishing for ell
crops what they most commonly
need. The farmer, then, who skilfully
supervises this branch OF his work Is
on the road to success. He will SEQ
