The HANCOCK organ raves throughout a
column against the annual reports Of the
treasury department The facts presented
of large reduction of the debt, the saw
ings in the interest charge, the faithful and
economical collection Of tho revenues, the
exact and honest disbursement of the ap-
propriations, are all so many reasons why
there should be no change, aud hence these

THE Philadelphia Times advises the DEM
ocrats not TO make too vigorous campaign
in Ohio uuless they want the October re-

Colonel MCCLURE thinks, the larger will
be the republican majority.

THE Philadelphia Times is among the first

THE fact that all the reports of officials
on July show the civil service of the gov
ernment to be honest and efficient is suffi-
cient evidence to the organ that the said
reports are "vitiated by partisanship," and
for democratic purposes they are therefore
as much out of place as threshing
machine in church." No doubt. The
simile is good. Threshing machines Yes
SO they are.

WE have received several letters from
South Carolina republicans giving, as we
think, excellent reasons why the campaign
in that state should he confined 10 federal
questions and candidates We do not
desire to interfere by advice or otherwise in
the local affairs Of other communities, and
we have therefore rofrained from publishing
much that appeals to our judgment as true.
We will venture, however, to advise our
national committee that any money sent to
South Carolina TO aid Il canvass in that state
is absolutely wasted. BLAINE might plant

cratic election managers will give the in

In commenting on the speech Of w. A.
PLEDGER, colored republican of Georgia,
the Atlanta Constitution charged him with
misrcpresentng the condition of colored
people in certain counties of that state by
saying that system of slavery still existed
in them. The Constitution asserted that in the
counties mentioned the colored people were
doing better materially because they no
longer troubled themselves about politics.
Mr.. PLEDGER denies the statement that the
negroes who are deprived OF all interest in
politics are therefore more industrious and
prosperous. On the contrary, he gives
statistics which seem to prove that political
activity is favorable to material progress in
the colored race, as il is undoubtedly among
whites the world over The counties 10
which the Constitution pointed to sustain its
view are reputed to stand as follows in re-
gard to the politics and property of the
| colored population:
In 1876 TILDEN received in Ebert county
526 votes HAYES received none. There were
S56 colored voters in the county owning only
| l,679 acres of land, valued ut S6,5l5. Wilke,
county gave TILDEN 1,130, HAYES 2. There
were l,273 colored voters, owning only p,25s
acres of land, valued at $l0,291. Madison
county gave TILDEE 500 votes; HAYES none
There were POI colored voters, owning 2,77;
acres of land valued ut Ss,395.
In contrast with these Mr. PLEpGER take.
two counties which have colored representa-
tives and in which the republican votc
freely expresses itself:
| Mcintosh gave HAYES go votes, TILpEs
| 30; colored persons owned 1850 acres o
land, valued at S22,770. Camden county CAV,
HAYES 45S votes and TILDEN 2S2; coloret
people owned 10,20i acres Of land valued u
$32 395.
Mr.. PLEDGER submits the figures to til,
Constitution and asks:
Are you prepared to say in the face of thes
facts that the exercise of the franchise pre-
vents the colored people from accommodating
property Or that their facilities for acquir
ing property arc better when afliliating will

AGRICULTURAL.
Feed the Good Mixers

The best mixers use all the food they can
get to make milk, and suffer in their own
flesh in consequence. The dairyman should
carefully examine each COW in his herd and
see that her wants are provided for. He is
sometimes very ungrateful to his best cows,
those that pay a fine profit, and he allows
them to draw even on their own flesh to in
crease their yield of milk. A practiced eye
detects the wants of such cows in mo-
ment. They are striving to do their best for
their owner. and want a little extra food to
keep up their own flesh while they are yield
ing d large return for the food consumed.
Prof. Horsfall, whose practice was given in
the Journal a short time ago, gave about
two pounds of bean meal to each of such
cows per day. Bean meal is very rich in
muscle-forming food. We cannot use this
here, because of its expense, but we can use
what is equally good-oats and. corn-two
bushels of oats and one of corn ground to-
gether, mixed with an equal weight of wheat
bran or middlings. Give two pounds of this
mixture with one-half pound of oil-meal to
each good mixer This will cost about
three cents day, and will well repay it in
the condition of the COW, besides the in
crease in milk. 1t is the good mixers that
pay for feeding. As they deal generously
with you, deal We even so with them. Poor
mixers 90 not even pay their keeping.
They should be fed well only to fit them for
the butcher. Let them be used for what
they were ntended-meat.-Liye Stock

Regenerating the Potato.

Capt. Wayne Reid, the weI[known writer
of books of adventure and travel, has been
for the past three years experimenting with
seed potatoes from Mexico, the original hab-
itat of the plant, with view to escaping
the blight which has been so disastrous to
the potato crop in England and Ireland. He
writes to the London Live Stock Journal,
from his place in Herefordshire briefly de-
failing his experience, from which it APP
pears that of eleven different varieties plant.
ed at the same time and in the same soil,
with the same cultivation, the Mexican
alone showed not spot of blight, all the
other kinds having been found to be dis
eased in greater or less degree.
In addition to the immunity from disease
he finds also that while the best of his Eng
lish seed yielded crop of but five tons, OF
considerably less than two hundred bushels
to the acre, the Mexican seed produced owe
ten tons, without special care in cultivation
many single specimens weighing pound OF
even pound and half. After being stored
through the winter in ordinary field pits
they come out perfectly sound, and appear
to improve in quality as the Spring advances
AS table potato, or for feeding to stock he
thinks they have no equal in England, and
he proposes that the Government shall take
in hand the importation of seed from Mexi
co or Peru as preventive Of the blight.
