they did not stick at doing it When
Democrats were pleading In behalf of
measures suited to save the Union with
out bloodshed. they scoffed at them as
"Union Savers" and their leaders were
willing to 'let the Union slide'' rather
than give up their political schemes.
Genuine Democracy has always been
devoted 10 the Union and the Constitu-
ton at all hazards, and such must be its
sublime and unchanging attitude
through all the mutations of time.
These five attributes of the National
Democratic party form priceless chain
of pearls strung upon a thread OF gold.
That thread of gold is the love of iiber-
ty, which is the grand distinctive char
acteristic of the Democratic party, while
that of the Republican party is the love
of power. The logical consequence of
this fact is. that tho Democratic party
naturally tends to public virtue, and the
native tendency of the Republican par
ty is to political corruption. The latter
inclines to revel in corruption as nat
urally as swine inclines to wallow in
the mire. How glorious is the mission
ofthe National Democracy-how worthy
of ardent enthusiasm. of persistent en-
deavor, and of patriotic sacrifice! May
its success be speedy and enduringi-

Water For Sheep.

How many farmers totally neglect
providing water for their fiocks, except
in very hot summers. when grass and
everything besides is burnt upP But
there can scarcely be doubt that pure
fresh water ought to be always within
access of flock of sheep, whether they
are thought 10 want it or not The
most experienced and observant of
shepherds can not always tell when
this ought TO be furnished, for some
animals may be in condition to re-
quire it and others not. The only safe
rule TO follow, therefore, is never to al
low the deprivation to be experienced
by providing water. so as to be within
ready access at all times. This is what
Mr.. Robert Russell. the successful
breeder of sheep In Kent, does: One in
variable rule which he follows, both in
summer and In winter. being never to
allow any animal on his farm to go a
single day throughout the year without
having ready access to two things

"A correspondent of the Queensldnd-
er supplies that paper with the follow
ing on the subject of potato growing:
IL tried an experiment with potatoes
this autumn. as seed was scarce. took
cuttings of potato tops and planted them
in the wet weather, and they took root
and bore better crop than the original
root. Some of the seed potatoes were
growing strong before set them. SO j
slipped off the superfiuous shoots and
planted them, with very good results;
and any one with small supply of good
seed may largely increase it by this
simple method"
One objection to a large farm, OF
SuHlclenC capacity TO meet the wants Oh
a great farmer. is that it concentrates
all the crops and all the manure at one
point. In harvest time short hauling OF
hay and grain saves valuable time. and,
when manure is to be drawn. short dis
tances to the fields from the heaps or
sheds very much lessons cost. 1t is
better to divide on large farms and have
two or more separate points of concen.
tration in distribution, and thereby save
great cost to team work. And, too, it
is very wise to divide the farm buildings
as to not have them all burn at one fire.
These are general considerations. IN.

Old Strawberry Beds.

Strawberry vines that have been per.
mitted to cover the ground and have
borne one good crop of fruit, Will not
pay the labor of wedding out, and as
rule should be plowed under as soon as
the crop has been gathered; but if one
has neglected to set new bed the past
spring, and desires to grow enough for
family use, two or three rods of the old
bed may be saved, and made to furnish
another year what fruit is wanted for
home use.
One of the easiest and perhaps the
best way to clean out an old bed, is to
spade in the vines, leaving rows about
foot in width and four feet apart A
good dressing of manure should be
spaded in with the vines; and the rows
of vines left standing should be well
cleaned out, leaving neither weeds or
grass. Some believe it best to NOW of
the tops of the old vines. but as we have
never tried this method we cannot
speak of its advantage from experience;
but if the vines do just as well by so do.
ing, it would be an Improvement, be-
cause it would lessen the labor of weed
ing out, which is the one great draw
back on continuing an old bed not
only is it very tedious task to weed it
out in the first place, but the wedding
must continue until cold weather, or
the grass will become so thick that it
will greatly lessen the crop the next
season. If the land be in good condi-
ton, the space spaded up will be well
covered with vines before cold weather
sets in; if so, then next spring the old
vines may be spaded in to make paths
to stand in while picking the fruit.
If one has strawberry bed away
from the garden. and it has been kept
clean of grass and weeds, it may be left
over another season without cleaning
out; and it will perhaps furnish half
crop another season without expense,
except the use of the land; but if in the
garden, this should never be done, as it
nils the ground with weed seeds, which
will take many years to get out.
A strawberry bed in the garden
should under no circumstances be per-
mitted to stand over the second year
without being kept as clean of weeds as
1t is the first year. We know that the
temptation iss great to let it stand,
hoping to have time to clean it ont.
which in many cases never comes. The
decision should be made within two
weeks after the crop is gathered; and if
it is decided to let it stand another year
the work of cleaning out should be
commenced at once. = Massachusetts

That there are natural outlets

that requires 10 argument to sus

TO undertake any system Of

as to do the greatest good to all,
and the least injustice to any por

This can be effected By dividing
the Parish into Drainage Districts
and exi,ending the taxes paid i'll by
tax payers Of each District in open

the taxes paid in each division for
the benefit of said division.
The Parish might lie divided i'll
