A Washington ednircr Of Mr..
conklisg says the speeches 10 be
delivered BY the Senator in Ohio
will do Garfield moro harm than
good. Tho Senator, his friend
says, docs not like Garfield. He
will sneer ut this administration
and say nothing Of Garfield, con
tonting himsclfwith a Qualification
Of the Radical PARTY and a hearty
denunciation Of the Democratic
party. All this is likely enough,
but the further statement that lie
will not attack the people Of tx
Southern States, or in any form
raise the "blcody shirt" seems
too much to believe.
However true or false this may
be, there was never moro spccula-
ton at Republican headquarters
hero than attllis ,nomentabout the
course of Mr.. Conkling. And des-
pite all ofTicial assurance TO the
contrary there is reason to
believe that cameron's present
course is not rclishcd or his future
sloyaltyn considered beyonddoubt.
The Washington brethren ore not
happy. They say5that US soon as
the Maine election is oyey,Zsozthat
Blaine will not DC tho central fg..

Conkling and Cameron and=tlio
other Grant men will go actively
TO work. They say, too, whether
they believe it or not, that Logan's
earnest efforts were secured early
only by giving him n sort Of indie
pendent Western command. l
have reason 10 believe that tho
substance of this paragrapll--thc
hopes and doubts as to Conkling
and Cameron can be heard any

those who arc on intimate terms
with him. 1t is said That General

reasons why this action Of the Gen.
cral is to DO rejoiccd at. Tho first
is that he shows himself a man

ond is this: He shows himself

that tile writing of such a letter

that something was to 10 feared
by the people from the party Of
which he is tho candidate. He
declines to apologize for his friends
in advance Of any offenso. The
Southern Claims" charge which
chung like u nightmare TO Mr..
Tillen, is exactly what General
Hancock has sense enough to. see
it is-a humbug. When the Rad
icNls were in power in Congress
they kept the carpet baggcrs in
power in The South by n liberal
distribution Of morey on "South.
crn Claims" When they lost, and
the Democrats gained power in

ously squandercl by Democratic
authority in any section Of the
country. tiffany party owes IN ap-
ology to the people, it is the ltadi-

1t is usually the custom. where an
animal breaks its leg, TO at once des-
troy it. This is not always necessary,
in fact several years ago nelghDor
was called to kill horse at another
neighbor's, because its leg was broken,
asked if he might have the horse; and,
on receiving an affirmative answer, he
proceeded to splinter the leg-a hind
one-and, in couple OF months. he
had good serviceable horse, greatly
to the surprise of the original owner
of the beast, who looked upon it with
covetous eyes. A correspondent of the
American caatiUdt0r declares that
most cases of broken limbs can be
cured. and thus gives his manner OF
treatment: "The difficulty of managing
an animal in the ordinary way is, that
it keeps straining the leg, thus prevent
ing the broken parts from knitting to-
gether. If the leg is swollen, cold
water is one OF the best applications
for removing the swelling, and this
should have immediate attention.
After the bone is carefully set, incase
the fractured parts (also ii space above
and below them with heavy leather
something like bootleg. Tin or
wood might answer the same purpose.
1t should be large enough to leave two
inches space all around the leg, which
space should he flied in solid with wet
plaster paris. The latter will harden
very quickly and hold the bone as Sc
curely as though it were in a block,
still allowing a free circulation of
blood within the leg"

The Value Of Water for Cows.

Cows should have access to water at
all times. especially COWS that give
milk. They want drink often and re-
turn to, their feed. The best stable,
and one in which stock do the best, is
one where water is always running III
through troughs before the cattle.
Thus managed cows may be kept up
TO a full flow of milk either winter or
summer, and for this reason, if the pas
ture fails from drought, it may be sup
planted with other feed, but a failure
OF water cannot be remedied. So in
winter cows that are only watered
once day, as many DO who consider
themselves good farmers, the cows
shrink in their milk and it can never
be regained. The same rule will bold
good in the stable; abundant food may
be supplied, if the water supply fails,
the profit will be nil.
The necessity of plenty of pure Wa
ter for stock is one of the first lnpOr-
tance to breeders and feeders. Itmust
not only be in abundance, but it should
be in such supply that stock may either
take it at will, or if supplied at stated
times it should be offered at least
twice day, and three times will be
better. No animal can thrive properly
that has access to water but once a
day. Every good feeder knows this,
and hence in all large feeding establish
ments the greatest care is taken 10
keep the supply ample and constant.
Many farmers neglect this, and always
to their cost. If water cannot be had
near in any other way, wells should be
dug, and the water raised by wind or
other power as the case may be. Hav-
ing plenty of water, see that the stock
get it as regularly as they feed. II
will pay. Remember that animals
should be treated well in order to
thrive properly. We are familiar
with the troubles incident to the neg
lect of regularity in food and drink
with the human body and the conse-
quences are somewhat analogous fol
our cattle.

General Grant explained to some
Hartford acquaintances how he be-
came so attached TO the cigar. He
first tried smoking at West Point, but
did not care for it, and it was not un-
til he was engaged in the early con-
tests of the war that he began to ac-
quire the habit He found a cigar of
service in relieving mental strain, and
during battle he often had one in his
mouth-though even then he was not
an inveterate smoker. Newspaper
correspondents, however, began to de-
scribe him as smoking, and so many
boxes of excellent cigars came into his
headquarters as gifts from all parts of

A Hairless Horse.

In recent issue of the Reno (Neva-
da) Gazette the editor says that one of
the natural peculiarities of that country
is an alkali grass which takes all the
hair off an animal. 1t is found on
some places on Steamboat creek south
of Mrs. Gates ranch. A horse or cow
that runs there a month or so loses
every bit of its coat. An old horse
that has been running there has haunt
ed the Virginia road in the vicinity of
Browns station week or so. He is
not quite naked yet, but soon will be.
4 little hair sticks on the side of his
neck, a few stragglers around the root
of his tail, half dozen on one ear, and
few other spots remain. His stumpy
tail is as bare as billiard ball, and
looks like the butt end of leather
whip. The name is all gone, and the
heavy skin stands up in corrugated
ridge. The skin is brown and looks
like-that of an elephant. A hairless
horse is funny looking beast.

How to Make Soap for a Cent

Shave into small pieces five bars OF Dob
bins Electric Soap. and boil In three quarts
of water, until the soap is thoroughly dissol-

nothing remains, add to the solution or
"suds" three gallons o. cold water; stir
briskly for several minutes to mix. and sci
It away to cool. Though it will look like
nothing but soap-suds while warm. chem
ical reaction will take place, and in twenty
four hours time will develop forty or fifty
pounds of magnificent and white soft soap
costing less han rn" "."f Mound and as
good as many of the adulterated compounds

that his battles has been rehearsed at
school. He referred to the fact that
when boy, he and his fellows had en-
gagged in many sham-fghts, represent

expended such strategy and tactics as
they learned from reading of history
and the lives of great soldiers.
