Go south, MIR. Damn.
To The Editor.


The New York Sun says "The cry of a
solid SOUTH set up by tho republicans, will
be of no avail in the presidential contest"
Why, democratic blessing be upon Dana's
stupid old head, every democratic paper from
Maryland to Florida and from Maine to Cali
fornia has its columns emblazoned with the
exultant expression, 1--WE have again the solid
SOUTH" referring to the recent elections in
Virginia and Mississippi.
Moreover fMr. Dana cares to note il, he may
hear reiterated the significant cry of south
ern political leaders in congress in 1860 "rhe
south rules supreme ia the councils of the de-
mocracy," and giving that fact as their reason
for uniting with the democratic party-not
for any love or respect for it, for they spurned
it in the Charleston convention in 1860 but
because without tho aid of that subservent
party as political stepladder bourbonism
could not climb into power. Can Mr.. Dana
be proud of his position as stepping stone.

How Long Will Butter Keep.

\ few year, agn ~hl., well in this place
Was being cleaned. a half pound 81 butter
was found in the bottom As good and sweet

there no one knew. The present OCCUPANT
of the premises has been fifteen year, on the

there had been no occasion before IL have

there all this time. and how long before is
not known. The outside was Of paler
color than that within. but otherwise there
Mas no change.
II i. not unknown 10 good dairy folks that
butter will keep well in cool, pure spring
water, ana some have taken advantage Of
the fact TO preserve butter in close vessel,

generally known that il would keep so long

might be Of great value whether this hint
about preserving butter might not be taken
advantage of, SO TO initiate regular

until markets or other circumstance, favor

the butter business that al some seasons
prices are ruinously low, and the usual

The Indiana Farmer reports the practice
seem to have been imbu ed with the spirit of
kindness after brief handling. 1t says:
The first trial was that Of kicking or
"balkihg" mare, which her owner said had
allowed no rider on her back for period of
At least FIVE years. She became tame in
about as many minutes, and allowed hersel
to be ridden about without sign of her
former wildness. The means by which the
result was accomplished was piece Of light
of the mare just above the upper teeth,
crossed in her mouth thence back Of her neck.
II was claimed that no horse can kick or
jump when thus secured, and that horse.
after receiving the treatment a few times,
will abandon his vicious WAYS forever. A
very simple method was also shown BY
which u kicking horse could be shod. 1t
consisted in connecting the animals head
and tail by mean Of rope fastened to the
tail and then to the bit and then drawn
tightly enough TO incline the animals head
to one side. This it is claimed makes it
absolutely impossible for horse to kick on
the side off the rope. At the same exhibition

bound on the ground to be shod. suffered the
blacksmith to operate on him without at

ner described. Really, intelligence Is worth
more than brute force in a contest. When
the latter is used alone, the horse always
proves superior, but intelligence conquers
vice as well as force.

Stable Ventilation.

Many owner, of stock seem 10 be afraid
of fresh air as u church sexton. says the
Examiner. When cold weather comes, they
bsrricsde their stables as closely possible
against the outer air. and having by ,hi.
means secured warmth. believe they have
made their stock safe and comfortable.
This is q serious error. Cattle and horses
require fresh air as much a, human beings
DO, and the same evil results follow IN their
case as in that of men and women shut up
in . confined atmosphere which has been
brea,hed over and over till changed into a
fetid poison. Under prolonged exposure to
such poisoned air, delicate animals soon
become debilitated and constitutional ten
denotes to disease are liaole to be developed
which might have remained latent or have
been outlved under more favorable con-
ditions. Even strong, healthy cattle lose
vitality in close, unventilaied stable. 1t is
the part Of economy. therefore. to provide
suitable ventilation for the stable and in
doing so il should he remembere that not
only the consumption of air by the confined
snimals-equsl 10 a5ou, 1000 gallons for a
full grown beast during every twenty four
hours-but the e1hslstions from their ex-
crement must bs taken into account. Nor
must il be forgotten that while an abundance
Of fresh air is essential to health. warmth is
equally so. The problem is to secure thor
ough ventilation without unduly lowering
the temperature. Especially should drsughts
about the feet. as through cracks in the floor
communicating with the outer air. be care
fully guarded against. All this involves ex-
penses bu, the outlay for healthy winter
quarters for live stock is soon recovered.
The food given does its work better the
stock fstten more rapidly and in better con-
dition, and so sell for higher price at less
cost for production work animals are strong
er and more enduring, and hence do better
service on the same expenditure for food
and care; and the loss from disease, as
carefully conducted experiment.. prove, is
very greatly reduced. The stable need not
be a palace but its arrangements for Sc
curing warmth and fresh air should be as
complete, in their degree. As those of house
for human hsbtatiOn-s good deal more
complete, indeed. than most people seem to
think essential.

THE AMERICAN THURSDAY, sEPTE1BER 30, 1888
Hints on Sleep.

The question Of chief Importance to most
people in these overwrought, wakeful days
and nights is how to get good sleep enough.
DIR. Corning drops few simple hints which
may be Of value. In the first place. people
should have regular time for going to
sleep, and it should be as soon as can well
be after sunset. People who sleep at any
time, according to convenience, get less BEN
eft from their sleep than others getting
sleep becomes more difficult; there is a ten
dency to nervous excitability and derange-
ment; the repair Of the system does not
equal the waste. The more finely organic
ed people are, the greater the difficulty and
the danger from this cause. The first thing
in order to sleep well is TO go TO bed at a
regular hour, and make it as early possi-
BILE. The next thing is to exclude all worry
and exciting subjects Of thought from the
and mind must be let down from the high
pressure strain before going to bed, that
Nature can assert her rightful supremacy
afterward. Another point is. never thwart
the drowsy impulse when it comes at the
regular time by special effort to keep awake,
for this drow siness is the advance guard of
healthy, restorative sheep. Sleep is boon
which must not be tempered with and put
of. for if compelled 10 wait. it is never so
perfect and restful as if taken in its own ma
tural time and way. The right side is the
best TO sleep on, except in special cases Of
disease, and the position should be nearly
horizontal. Finally the evening meal should
be composed of food most easily digested
and assimilated. so that the stomach will
have little hard work to do. \ heavy. rich
dinner taken in the evening is one of the
things that murder sleep. Late suppers with
exciting food and stimulating drinks make
really restorative sleep next 70 impossible.
Narcotics are TO be avoided, save as used in
cases OF disease by competent physicians.
The proper time, according 10 DIR. Corning.
10 treat sleeplessness is in the DAYTIME, and
it must be treated by wise and temperate
method of living rather than BY medicines
This is good common sense, says the .Ner
York Star, from which paper We copy, and
doubtless vast deal of the debility, nervous
arrangement, and the insanity OF our time
would be prevented by more good. restfu,
natural sleep.
