BLAINE KNOWS A THING OR Two
Blaine, who is recognized as one Of the
most sagacious politicians of this
country, foresees that the Democratic
party will elect the next President, and
hence he has declared that he will not
be candidate for the Presidency in
1884. AS the Richmond Dispatch says.
Where is there more sagacious man
than Mr.. Blaine? Who can forecast
the future better? Well, this sagacious
man snuffs defeat in the air and will
none of it. He would prefer to avail
himself of a more favorable opportunity.
He is not one of the men whose ambi
ton is satisfied by mere nomination.
He IL practical man and believes In
practical politics. he is not willing to
follow Mr.. Clay's example, and take the
field when the prospect of q successful
race is wanting.
1--WE argue, therefore, that as Mr..
Blaine has made up his mind that the
Democrats will choose the next Presi-
dent Of the United States, the men who
proposed to go for Arthur because Ar
thur was for them will have to chew
the cud of bitter disappointment. They
will have no sympathizers in either
party. The Democrats regard them Of
traitors to their party, and the Repub
| iicans will have nothing to give tn EN-. y

MAKING Frost ESR1cH THE so11

MAKING FROST ENRICH THE SOIL
Mr. Orange Judd writes as follows in
the american Agrscsslturist for Decem
Der upon the important action of frost
upon soils:
. in a frozen, compact, wet soil, the
icy layer formed acts as a non -conduc
tor of heat, preventing its escape; and
such soils do not freeze and thaw
deeply. and less new plant food is sup
piled. If before it frt ezes solid we plow
or spade he ground into loose condi-
ton, the frost will penetrate far deeper,
and the soil be richer in plant food for
tie next summer's crop. Deep dead
burrows or draius made in vet fields OF
winter wheat, rye, and grass, have q
like beneficial Effect But
MORE IMPORTANT STILL
is another beueh. OF removing all
standing water from around plants ana
roots remaining ia the ground during
freezing weather. While, as stated
above, most solid substances are cou-
tracted by cold, soil saturated with
water expands the same AS water itself,
The greatest cold will not kill the roots
of hardy crops like wheat. rye, and
grass. but the expansion of the wet soil
one eighth Of lrs nqlk sends aud tears
their roots. Two or three alternate
freezings and thawiOgs of the ground,
if wet, will 10 far more harm to winter
crops than the longest, severest steady
winter ever known The important
lesson taught by this is : be sure to clear
out the dead burrows and their outlets
now, and again early in spring, SO az to
drain off all standing WAFER to q point
below the main roots of the plants IL
also shows ole great benefit of draining
all cultivated land which holds water
during winter and spring.

THREE MEN KILLED BY RAILROAD
AccIDENrs.-Between half past 2 and 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon Mr.. William
q. Brooks was killed on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway near the grain eleva-
tor in Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Brooks was formerly of Hanover
county, but for twelve years past had
been q resident of Richmond, and dur
ing that time, except fof short period
when he was at work in the Tredegar
car-shops, was an employe of the Ches
apeake and Ohio Company. He was
engaged yesterday in the inspection of
sars and lost his life in attempting to
run across track as detached car was
running down grade towards him. His
SKULL was horribly fractured, and death
was instantaneous. Coroner Taylor
viewed the body and ascertained the
facts here stated, after which it was re-
moved to his place of residence, No
1918 east Marshall street.
Friday night two men were killed on
the Richmond and Allegheny railroad.
The first victim was Mr.. Alexander V
England. He was killed at Bremo
Bluff while attempting to couple box
car to an engine. He was horribly
crushed, and died in short while after
the accident occurred. The train he
was trying to couple was the down
freight. The other was Mr.. - Williams
who fell from the train at Maiden's
Adventure. The wheels of the cars
passed over his legs, crushing and al
most severing them from his body. He
also died in few hours after he sus
tanned injury.

WHAT IS FREE TRADE?-The term
Free Trade has no rightful place what
ever now in our politics. 1t once had,
and then it had its true meaning alt0.
That was before the war of 1872 when
England was interfering with our COM
mercial righta 4H9n the high seas, re
stricting our European trade, az wei! 80
searching our ship s for British, or sup
posed British, sailors, which persons
when found would be fOrcibly taken
and compelled to do service in her own
war ships. This created general excite
ment in the country, and the cry of
Free Trade and Sailors Rights" was
raised. and for years, until long after
the war 1879, and even after ita pause
had entirely ceased, it continued to be
Democratic war cry, because the pop
ularity Of a party slogan, and its conse
quent usefulness with the masses, orig
inally outlasts its original rdison d. etre
1t never had any proper application to
our revenue system, because absolute
Free Trade has never been, and we
doubt very much if it ever can or will
be, adopted ia this country. however
good 9 thing it might be to have the
Government supported by direct taxa
ton. through which naeaila the cost of
it's support would be felt by all the peo-
pile, rs htate taxation is nov, and the
Administration would be held to y
stricter accountability for its shorteom-
ings and corruptions: yet the difficult
ties in the way to this are quite insur-
mountable, and will readily occur to ev-
erybody The proper term now to use
ky the Democracy in its aspirations for
Tariff Reform is either a Tariff for
Revenue or Il ow Tariff and not
Free Trade. for that is something no.
body expects or desires. All the people
want is to have the expenses Of the
paid by . levy on foreign
goods and products and they want no
higher tariff levied than will accomplish
this purpose alone They do not want
q subsidy paid to manipulating manu-
facrurers or to anybody else.-Rich-

day marks political revolution unpar-
alleled in the history of this country.
The cyclone which passed over the
northern States has left little Republic
can timber standing. It was peculiarly
cruel to the political Bosses, and has
taught them that their occupation lie
gone. Whether Malone is defeated in
this State or not, the result here shows
his power Is at an end. If he could not
do more than he did, with his solid so
or 80 600 colored voters, with his vast
sums of money, furnished from Wash
lngton. and every Office he could reach
filled with his partisans, he will stand 8
poor chance in the future attempts to
boss this State. He is politically dead
and will be consigned to the oblivion of
all such political monstrosities. The re
suit of this election and his bogus Han
cock ticket two years ago prove him to
be anything but wise party leader"

Winter Care OF Livestock.

There are few general rules for the
care OF live stock in winter, which are
of universal application:
Fsrst-They should lie dry, whether
bedded or not. A dry floor is far better
than wet bedding. Spar or slat floors,
through which urine will quickly pass.
and which give the animals a level
standing place. are especially to be adj
vised. A good degree of comfort may
be had on such floors. but full supply
of dry litter stray, leaves, swamp hay,
etc.-certainly makes all kinds of stock
more comfortable.
Second Shelter saves fodder, wher-
ever lumber can be easily obtained, to a
degree which few practical men are
aware of. The warmer the stables are
the better, except perhaps for sheep.
But with close, warm stables, tits essen.
tial that the manure heap should be
where it will not coptaminate the air.
and that there should be perfect venti-
latiOn, so arranged as not to cause drafts
of air.
Third AS to feed. This should be
given with the utmost regularity and
unifornAty-never more than will be
eaten up long before the next feeding
Tins. Then the animals have an appe-
tite for their food, 80 that coarse fodder
may be first given, to be followed with
better, and by grain in some form, if
this he part of the daily ration. This
fs no doubt the most economical system,
securing the least waste and best diges
tion of all kinds of fodder used, in the
ordinary wav.
Fourth. Grooming and care of the
animals are most valuable means of
keeping them in health as we'll as of
saving feed. The SIX in of the animal ex
listing in state of nature 10 washed by
every shower. brushed and carded by
every bush licked by its mates, rubbed by
the ground in rolling, and in various
ways kept free from accumulations of
its own calculations, from the stoppage
of its pores by sweat, and from its own
inherent dirt. A healthy skin means
warmth, health, life, and vjgor. other
thinga being ebout right. and we can
secure this only by grooming.-CoL. NJ.
