The London Daily Telegraph says it is
stated that over 10000 of the Land
League funds have been transferred to
the Continent, and that it has been de-
cided to ultimately inyestit in the United
States.
A dispatch from Dublin to the London
Times says serhe leaders of the Land
League are now trying to allay the appre-
tensions of Irishmen by representing
the Coercion act as harmless. At a
meeting of the Limerick branch of the
League, Mr.. Boyton stated that no one
would be arrested unless he aided in or
perpetrated any crime. The Govern
ment, he said, did not contemplate inter
ference with the right of peaceable assem-
bly, and free speech, and it will be per-
fectly competent for the League to criti-
else public measures and acts of land>
lords, but the League should not inter-
fere with legal tribunals"

The condition of the people of Ireland
who have just passed through famine
and are now arrayed against their op
pressors, the richest Government on the
face of the earth, is the subject of wide
spread discussions in this and other
countries. Probably the most practiced
remedy yet proposed, is the Irish Ma
tional Land League, which is, itself: an
outgrowth of the times. ut has at
present net work of branch organizes
tons, throughout the country, all pledged
to obey the mandates of the central
body, and to work increasingly for the
abolition of Landlordism."
s'The Land League is organized to com
bat the system OF Landlordism and des-
troy it forever; to obtain for the producer
his right to enjoy and own the product
of his labor; to practically establish the
right of every man to an equal share in
the land; to end forever the famines thai
have brought disgrace and humiliation
on the Irish people"
The work needs all the aid it will re-
ceiye, and is cause which appeals to all
justice and liberty loving people.

Dry Earth for Bedding.

II any one will observe when the cows
choose TO lie down in the yard or pas
ture, it will be seen that they choose
the bare ground, rather than the sod
or bedding of straw. The same is true
of sheep. We have taken this hint
and furnished the cow-stables with
dry earth bedding. Leaves and straw
are poor absorbents in comparison. In
the pig-pens dry earth has no equal.
In very cold weather we add straw or
leaves; but until the weather is very
cold, the animals will be more comfort
able with a bed of fresh soil, or of soil
changed once fortnight or week. In
the chicken-house we have learned its
great value as deodorizer Our roosts
are over a sloping floor, on which we
occasionally scatter dry earth. The
droppings roll down into pile of dry
earth. This is turned over with a
shovel each week or oftener, and we
can say the chicken-house is free from
any offensive odor, and the bright
combs and glossy feathers tell of the
health of the fowls. Dry earth is a
good preventive, too. of vermin on cat
tie, pigs and poultry. 1t must be pro-
cured at dry time, and stored under
shed or in the stables. 1t not only
promotes neatncss and health, but
saves the very elements of the manures
which make them most valuable. and
most of which would evaporate if not
absorbed by the dry earth. We do
not like it as bedding in the horse
stables, but it should be found in every
stable. to sprinkle the floor withas soon
as the bedding is removed in the morn
ing. When removed from the stables,
styes and coops, it should be kept under
cover for spring use. or for drilling with
the wheat in the fall. Cincinnati COM
