So far as We are aware, Russia is
the only country in which the sun
flower is grown to any extent, and
there the oil obtained from the seeds
is the chief consideration. 1t is said
that the crop is about 30 bushels of
seed to the acre. French writers on
oil-producing crops do not advise the
culture Of the sunHower, because it
requires a very rich soil, and the
birds take very large share of the
seeds; beside this the yield is small
about 15 per cent.--of an oil of
inferior quality. We know of no
demand for the seeds for pressing in
this country, aud if raised they must
be utilized upon the farm. They are
regarded as valuable for pou)ty, and
have been given to horses as stin-
ulant and appetizer. Ii any OF our
readers have tried the sunfower as a
farm crop we shall be glad to have
their experience. As to the use of
the stalks for burning, we think that
better fuel may be raised more cheap
~. But few plants draw SO heavily
upon the soil for potash as the sun
flower, and unless the land is rich the
crop of stalks will not be large The
ailanthus tree would be better for
fuel, and when tie trees were once
established they could be cut over
every year; new shoots springiDg
from the roots give an annual crop
Of most excellent fuel. Peach trees
grow rapidly and might be raised from
the stone if climate allows. The wood
makes very bot fire.

HEAyEs.

There are several diseases known
among farmers as heaves, some
durable and some not, and requiring
therefore veterinary examination be-
fore deciding upon the form Of the
disease and consequent remedy. The
broken-winded horse is called heavy
when the real trouble is in the throat,
some of the muscles OF the laryDx
being paralyzed. Again, horse full
fed on dry and musty hay with nc
grain often seems badly affected with
heaves in starting out, but after long
driving and plenty of drink appears
greatly in proved. There are types
of the disease which an ordinary con
dition powder, and especially one con
tanning saltpetre, will amel'orate
Where the trouble is with an excess
of dry hay the feeding of small e.
quantities Of cut feed, mixed with r7'
bran, and the mixture wet with warn
water, will often prove Of much ger
vice.

WHAT BREED DOES.

Herewith are given the results
gained by several of the members Of
the Kansas and Iowa Woolgrowers'
Association. They are worth the
attention Of all interested ia the Pre-
duction Of wool. Upon one farm
fifty acres Of sorghum cane-one-half
cut the other half left stsnding-sup-
ported 1000 sheep during the winter
in good condition. One breeder
stated that his flock of full-blood
merinos averaged twelve pounds Of
unwashed wool per head, and that he
could make pound of mutton from
them as easily as from any other
breed. From another source it
was learned that flock of LII
pure merinos also averaged twelve
pounds Of wool, and that ga sheep
had been fed on two pounds of hay
per head, for twenty days, and fifty
six pounds of corn. The Cotswolds
had been known to weigh IS high as
400 pounds but the merinos were the
hardest. The latter were 10 favor
with buyers for the reason that the
pelts pull from two to three pounds
more wool than the crcss-breeds or
common sheep. Another breeder
whose flock numbered more than ESQ,
all merinos, fed no grain whatever,
and the sheep averaged in shearing
103 pounds each. He had exper-
imented in crossing the Cotswold with
the merino, the result being a good
sheep with an increase Of carcass, but
less wool on the average oftwo pounds.
1t was admitted that the common
focks could be improved by the use
Of merino rams, but the unanimous
Judgment was that it was more prof
liable to procure pure-bred stock and
breed from them in preference to the
slower method of improvement by the
use Of thoroughbred males alone as is
generally the case.

All in all, no New Hampshire Democrat
need be discouraged at this review of the
campaign from Republican sources.
Brooklyn IN. W Eagle; Senator PEN
dleton, in his speech at the great meet
ing at Columbus, Ohio, in honor of the re-
cent victory, said: sit was achieved not
by the, Democratic party alone, but by lib
eral minded men of other faiths, hereto
fore, who found in state and federal leg
i~slation, in the tendencies of parties and
in the drift of events, good reason to vote
with it," This utterance is
he-statement OF a fact which warrants us
in accepting the political revolution III
Ohio as the precursor of a revolution that
is destined to extend to the control of the
federal administration. 1t means that the
reign of the Dorseys, the Bradys and the
Robesons is drawing to a close, and that
honest Republicans are no longer willing
to tolerate the corruptions and iniquities
which Republican rule has fostered.
The famous Morey-Chinese letter for.
gerry matter is still Topping about
In n way and another it is likely to fig
ure in the courts and public prints for a
long time to come. Kenward Philip, the
young journalist whose connection with
the proceedings in Judge Davis's court will
be easily recalled, has sued Col. George
Bliss, on whose complaint he was arrested,
for false arrest and imprisonment. He
has also brought numerous other suits fol
libel, and says he will press them to an is.
sue. 1t is mentioned as a curious circum-
stance that the complaint against Philip,
the warrant upon which his arrest was
made, the commitment of the Judge and
the Indictment itself, have mysteriously
disappeared from the district attorneys
Office. It is thought that Johnny Daven-
port, who is not an officer of the court, can
tell where they are.
A statement is now going the rounds
to the effect that over 10000 votes were
cast by the prohibitionists at the recent
Ohioelection and that it is plain. therefore,
that Republican temperance men are re-
sponsible for the Republican defeat. If
this is so we have no doubt that these men
can shoulder their responsibility. But if
it is so why did these Republican temper
ance men refuse to vote the Republican
ticket? Did it have a smell of beer and
rum about it, or what? However, it is
probably not true that the prohibitionists
cast 10000 votes. Complete returns from
forty-three counties show a net prohibition
loss of 1859 votes, as compared with the
vote of last year, and these ~forty-three
counties includes all the prohibition strong
holds. There is nc good reason to sup
pose that the prohibitionists threw over
10000 votes this year, a loss of 5000 as
compared with last years vote for their
candidate for governor.

PLEASE PASS THE SALT.
Ihe simple Request that opened thc E0

The Simple Request that opened thc Eay
to a Fortune and a Wife.s
A real romance occurred lately in a hotel
in Montreal. In the hotel the road agent
of a respectable company boarded while
in the city. In the same hotel an Ameri-
can young lady was domiciled. The lady
was pleasant and accomplished. The
young gentleman at first viewed the lady
admiringly at a distance, but too timid to
approach. Day by day his interest grew
stronger. He had never spoken to her,
nor she to him, and, SO far as he was con-
cerned, this was what he most earnestly
desired she might do. In this dilemma he
applied to a friend for advice. "Do you
eat at the same table ?" asked the friend.
eyes," wa the reply. "Then I would ad-
wise you the next time you dine to ask the
lady to pass the salt" "AI right" sighed
the lovesick hero. The following day he
intended to put hi friends advice into
operation, but was most delightfully."-
baked by the lady asking him "to please
pass the salt" From that moment the
Gle was broken, till at last the lady asked
for the g~entleman's card, in order that she
might know whom she was conversing
with. The gentleman at once handed
the lady his business card. Matters
then went on smootly, all the while
the couple enjoying each others company
at concerts, operas, etc. At length this
state of matters was brought to a crisis.
The lady was about to return to the states.
The lover vas perplexed and again applied
to his friend for advice, who at once ad-
vised him to pop the question and thus
settle anxiety. She was willing to become
one with him. The question then came
when the happy day would be. She re-
piled Tomorrow" To this the gentleman
at first demurred, as he had certain bust.
ness matters to fix. She told him to leave
them alone and write to his employers
resigning his position and leave the
rest to her. He complied; they were
married and vent to the states, where. the
Canadian gentleman learned that he had
married a young widow worth $25O,OOO.
In his happiness he did not forget the
friend who advised him. He sent that gen
tleman a check for $4,000 with q letter of
thanks for his kind advice in enabling him
to become a rich and happy man, through
the possession of a handsome and loving
woman. The gentleman who rendered the
advice felt dubious as to the reality of the
check. and did not present it at the bank
for some days. At last he put the matter
to the test, n was informed the money
had been lying in the bank at his order for
a number of days. And SO the romance
ended, to the satisfaction. of all parties in
terested.

WHO SOLD OUT TILDEN?

Montgomery Blair Asnkes soaae Plain
Statements on the Subject
To the Editor of the Times:
Your Washington correspondent, under
date of 18th instant, states that in 1877,
pending the electoral contest, having
charged Mr.. Lamar and other Southern
Democrats. through the Union newspaper,
of which 1 was editor, with conspiring to
trade of Tilden for the control of tho South
ern States, l backed out from the charge
on being threatened by General Gordon.
The statement is untrue. The founda-
ton for it is probably the fact that It did
state in the Union that a gentleman of the
highest character had assured me that
MI. Lamar had declared in his presence
that Ferry, the Republican president of
the senate, had the right to count the cleo
toral vote.
Judge Black called on me in reference
to this statement and said that of his own
personal knowledge he knew that Mr.. La
mar did not entertain the opinion attrib-
uted to him by my informant, and asked
me to say in the Union that a friend of
Lamar, in which I had confidence, had
made this statement. No menace was
used on the occasion and I allowed the
statement to be published in the Union.
Lamar did not then or since deny the pre-
vious statement in the Union and no re-
traction of it was asked or given; nor, in
deed did Judge Black or any one else ever
speak to me on the subject, protesting to
act for Mr.. Lamar and by his authority.
In the issue of the UniOa of the 18th Of
December, 1876, I expressed the opinion
that the presidency had then been sold by
certain of the southern leaders. I had rea-
son then to believe the fact, subsequently
stated publicly by Ben Hill, that a league
had then been formed by enough of them
to control the house to act with the Repub-
licans o. the presidential question, and the
declaration of Mr.. Lamar, who was,
believe, the head of that league, stated
the ground upon which they had then de-
termined to put themselves in carrying
out the programme. But the programme
then contemplated was abandoned because
Mr.. Csnkling and other Republican sena-
tors would not stultify themselves by up
holding such power in Ferry, having at
the previous session Of the senate denied
it in toto.
This compelled the resort to the electc-
raj cimmission to effect tho object previ-
ously intended to haye been accomplished
through Ferry, the only difference in the
plan being that the power to defeat tt 9
will OF the people was given to q Republic
can commission, for which the constitution
furnished nc pretext, instead of to a Re-
publican vice president, for which there
wes some color of authority.
