is best for the purpose; If The water
is still it ston becomes foul and ur-
wholesome. But hog can no more
be healthy than he can be happy
without wallowing. He is oppressed
with heat in summer. He is not or
should not be emaciated. He has a
short, thick neck, and his lungs are
none too large. He cannot fan him
self nor use an umbrella. His best
way to cool himself is TO get into
mudhole. There, too, he can bid def
ance to the flies. He coats his hide
with mud,in which the vermin of his
body (if he has any )become confined
and in scratching himself against a
tree he scratches them off. Let them
have wallowing places by all means.
The very best use that can be made
of corn cobs is to convert them into
charcoal, by making small kiln of
them and burn them as wood is burn
ed for coal. If fed to your hogs occa-
sionally in winter they will not only
be eaten with avidity, but be most
conducive to the preservation Of their
health. Charcoal of any kind is an
antidote for fermentation in the
stomach, as well as promotive of
healthy digestion, thus insuring
healthy and rapid growth of the ami
NAL; whereas when the stomach is
fatulent or fcverish proper assim-
ilation of the food is not to be expec-
ted, nor profitable results locked for.
For fattening hogs, especially when
fed heavily on fermentable food, their
stomach needs charcoal and sulphur
mixed to correct the acidity and when
given them plentifully, it not only
causes them to eat and digest more
but is great preventive of cholera.

REMEDIES FoR FooT RoT. The rem
edies which have been recommended
for foot rot" can be counted by hun
dretls, and there is such variety of
them that it is difficult to recommend
any one. One of the essential condi-
tions is to attend to the hygiene of the
patients, seeing that their feet should
rest on as clean and dry bedding as
possible. The application Of weaken
ed mineral such as nitric acids SO as to
produce slight conformation is then
warmly recommended by some.
Others on the contrary, prefer the
foot bath of solution of sulphate
Of copper. A great deal OF good has
been obtained by some in using chloride
of lime in the pre- portion of one pound
Of the powder to gallon of water.
Butter of anthony has proved benefi-
cial with some.

owing 10 the careleSSneSs OF the farmers
in not having suitable places or appli-
ances for saving and storing the manure.
The rains wash out valuable matter
from the manure in the barnyard car
rying it away to the cutters or runs
and to places where it cannot be or is
not of any use to the farmer. The sun
beaches it during the warm weather
in the barnyard, and still further robs
it. Every barnyard of any size should
have pit or cistern, into which all the
liquid manure is forced to run. By
having an ordinary pump rugged in the
well or cistern, and by having hogs
head rugged on pair of old cart or
wagon wheels, this manure water can
be from time to time sprinkled over
the grass lands, making tie grass grow
with vigor which will astonish anyone.
The most expensive part of the appar-
atus, as it cannot usually be made by
the farmer himself, is the sprinkling at
tachment though this need not cost
many dollars, if simply constructed,
and will last for many years with prop
er care. The whole rig will pay for
itself many times over.
Much manure is made and saved by
affording all of the stock plenty of bed
ding. and especially is this the case in
the pig-sties, for the swine require plen-
ty of bedding, which they will work
over and convert into strong and rich
manure. Where woods is convenient
" near leaves can be gathered during
the off days as soon as they commence
to fall fast and stored for use. They
mike most excellent and cheap bedding
for all kinds of stock, from horses down
and the manure is not only good, bnt
IS short and readily and quickly hand
led. 1t can be used either bro adcast or
in the rows, and never interferes with
the plow. If farmers would pay more
attention to their poultry house, there
would not be the scarcity Of "shovel-
ings' which occurs on most farms in
the spring, when fine and good fertiliz-
ing matter is wanted to put in or on
the corn and other hills. The poultry
house should be thoroughly cleaned out
every month, and the droppings put in
barrels or boxes in some dry place until
Needed. After each cleaning a little
clean, dry sand or road dust should he
sprinkled over the floor to facilitate the
cleaning next time. If farmers will
follow this plan they will be surprised
to find what an amount of droppings
they will have in a single season from a
flock Of 90 or 100 hens, if all the pcul-
try have been regularly housed.

upon consultation with our Representa-.
tives In the House, measures, may be
taken to secure restoration of the for
mer rate Of duty, before the adjournment
of Congress, which has already been fix
ed for an early day.
BY the figures of the latest census
learn that for the decade ending with
1880 the aggregate hay product of the
United States was 292, sos ,O29 tons, or
an average of 29,266, 1903 tons per an.
mum. In the year 1880 the hay product
Of the country was 81 ,925 ,233 tons which
at the average market price of to. day,
say $l4, would be worth SAG, 953, 262,
or more than the value of the entire cot
ton crop Of 1880, which is reported at
3,l99,S22, $50 pounds, worth at the pre-
sent average price say Is cents, giving
total value of S4l5,976,94S.
The same statistics show that the an
nual hay crop of the United States, dur
ing the decade, has been equal to one
third Of the value Of the total cereal pro-
ductions Of the country that it has been
more than four times as valuable as the
potato crop, and nearly eight times as
valuable as the tobacco crop.
regret that at the moment Of writing
| am unable to place my hand upon the
statistics of the hay crop Of Maine by the
last census, but in 1870 the product in
this State was reported at 1,053,4l5,
and it is entirely safe to assume an in
crease Of twenty-five per cent, which
would put the present crop at 100000
or |, 400, 900 tons with a value of $751;
100000 to S2O,OOO,OO0.

MAINE FUSIONISTS.
WHAT THE INDEPENDENT VOTER THINKS
OF THEM.

The fusion party lin Maine is CON-
posed of two elements, which have only
one bond Of sympathy desire "to get
in" 1t has two bodies, with full equip
ments Of legs, wings and tails, but, for
present convenience, only single head.
The genial and not unintelligent counte-
nance of Gov. Plaisted surmounts the
strange and heterogeneous combination,
with fixed, non committal expression,
like that of mask, while the two COM
ponent parts of the body seem to be 60
ing it, each on its own hook. That the
figure is justified by the facts observe
this evidence. The greenbackers who
nominated Plaisted resolved that our gov.
eminent "has been perverted into a gov
eminent of money power, by money pow
er, and for money power" and still it de-
manded currency to be controlled by
this government in its most debased and
demoralize condition. On the other hand,
the democratic convention which nomin-
ated Plaisted resolved that Congress is
bound to establish currency always con-
vertible into and equal in value to spe-
cie," and "to protect the community
against the evils of debased coin and the
greater evil Of an excessive issue Of pap
er money" Both parties are prudently
reticent, but it is undeniable that they
stand far apart on the currency question,
and are only united on Plaisted in oppo-
sition to the Republicans. Ifthe Green
hackers have a leg to stand upon-as
Greenbackers and not as a scarecrow-
they believe government should issue
paper currency declared to be money for
all purposes fiat money! as long as any
body asks, and never redeem it in any
thing more tangible or more valuable. If
the Democrats have Democratic leg to
stand upon-and not stick vainly dis
guised BY frayed cast off trousers-they
believe in honest money. a currency at
all times convertible into real value.
We may not be astonished to see such
peculiar double bodied image
which reminds US of the negro min
strel Siamese twins Pat and Cufy y
we may not wonder at the single
placid head of the queer combination,
serenely unconscious of the humor of the
situation but we cannot avoid some ST.
lent speculation as to the effect on the

335. There were more votes by 81 than
names on the list. The clerk proceeded
to draw out the excess. He drew out &C
Republican tickets and only one Demo.
cratic ticket. Not all who drew tickets
went so far as this. In Brownsville, out
Of 1919 drawn, ll6 were Republican; in
Smithville, out of 81, Ga were Republi-
can in Marion Court house, out Of 55
drawn, "a were Republican, and at Ber-
RVS Cross Roads. out of 96 drawn, 90
were Republican. In all these cases the
fraudulent Democratic tissue ballots were
allowed to remain in the boxes and hon
est Republican, tickets were withdrawn
so as to give them room"
These are simply specimen cases Of the
enormous frauds exposed in the report,
and what is true of this case is true in a
greater or less degree Of many others.
The evidence shows that Richardson was
''counted-in' by the Democratic manag-
ers, by gross outrages upon the ballot
box and the right Of every man to vote
once and have his vote fairly counted and
returned. Not only have the Democrats
Of the South perpetrated these frauds, but
the party has been placed on record in
Congress in defence of them. The hypo-
critical championship Of honest elections
by the Bourbon leaders in Maine is thus
placed in its true light before the people.

STATED in crushing secession.
Moreover, the expenditures for ordina-
ry purposes, were no more per capita the
past year, than they were in the last year
Of Buchanan's administration. In 1859
the expenses were about 1926 per in
habitant; the past year Jour population
being about $4,000, OOO) they were about
the same. In other words, notwithstan-
ing government is attending to many
public interests, which, in 1859, it paid
no attention to-such as forecasting the
weather, guarding against the spread Of
contagious diseases, looking after educa-
tional interests, distributing new varie-
ties Of seeds TO farmers, taking measures
to prevent the spread Of cattle diseases,
ETC., etc.-yet the expenditures of the
national government, outside Of charges
put on the nation by war, are no larger,
in proportion to the population, than they
were before the rebellion.
The argus says that no other people
on earth could have borne such taxation
as we have inflicted on ours. To be sure
our taxation has been large for Ameri-
cans-thanks to the Southern Democra-
cy, but yet it has not been as large as
that of any Of the leading nations of Eu-
rope. Our national taxation the past
year was about $3.50 per inhabitant.; the
taxation imposed by the English govern
ment was over sll.75 per inhabitant,
and that Of France s15.75. While the
United States, with taxation of 81. so per
inhabitant, has during the past year paid
all the expenses Of the government, the
interest on the debt and S65 900, 900 in
pensions to her soldiers, and has had a
surplus Of $l5l, 100000 to apply to the
reduction of the principal of our debt;
during the same time England, with tax
alton Of Sll.75 per inhabitant, has
paid, besides the expenses of her govern.
ment, and interest on her debt, only ten
millions in pensions and has had sur
plus of less than 81, 600 900 to apply to
the reduction of her debt. The peace
expenditures Of England, exclusive of in.
terest on debt, are $3.50 per inhabitant
those of France 81 per inhabitant those
of the United States $3.50 or one third
as much as England, and ne-fourth as
much as France. 1t was to this striking
difference in results, that Gladstone al
luded, when in criticising the Beacons-
field administration, he spoke in such
terms Of admiration of the financial policy
of the Republican administration of the
United States, policy to which history
will accord the highest praise.

CONSISTENCY WITH A VEN
GEANCE.

Less than two years ago Gov. Plaisted
in speech delivered in this city earnest.
ly denounced the national banking system
and those engaged in it as utterly I'M
worthy of being leaders in the councils
of this great Nation. He referred to
recent visit TO New York and very vivid.
ly described the scene of Republican
torchlight procession which was largely
made up of national bankers in line,
with costly lanterns on their arms, which
designated their business and position
in that great city and money center. He
said as he saw their long procession pass
he could not help thinking that each Ian.
tern should be beacon light, warning
the poor working man away from the
party Of national banks and bankers
and ne said that if that principle and
that class Of men were to prevail and
elect the next President, that the shack
les OF slavery would be fastened upon the
laborer of this country. Now on the
same ticket with Gov. Plaisted and
placed there by the same party is the
President of a national bank, Hon. JOS
eph Dane, Of Kennebunk. We have
failed to hear, nor do we expect to, sin.
gle word Of remonstrance from the Gov
enor, but on the contrary he will soon
take the stump and advocate his election.
