The attempt of few foolish Democratic
papers to bolster up the Hanlon appointment,
and to make his rejection by the Senate a
great national issue, will not succeed. The
appointment was one VIGOROUSLY unfit to be
made, and he would never have received the
number of votes he did in the Senate except
for the personal solicitation of Senator Voor-
hees. The Washington Special of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, Democratic, says that "Sen-
ator Voorhees,, it is understood, recognizes the
fact that the appointment of Hanlon was not
the best one that could have been made, but
having secured his appointment he determined
to, and did make the best fight for him he
could"
A special from Terre Haute says:
s'The rejection of Collector Hanlon caused
no surprise here, although Voorhees, friends
here had received an intimation that his un-
firing efforts babe fair to secure the votes OF
three Republican Senators A dispatch was
received by ex-Congressman Lamb, saying
Hanlon would remain IN the Office. This is
construed to mean that a motion to reconsider
has been or will be entered, and that an alb
sentee of to-day will be on hand aA.she next
vote. Hanlon was, for many years, con-
ductor on the Louisville, New Albany & Chi
cage road, and has been lifelong Voorhees,
adherent. His appointment was antagonized
by Democrats in the Ohio river section, where
he comes from. They were joined by the
anti Voorhees, and anti-Larnb people here,
who preferred charges against him"
AS the Journal stated yesterday. the
charges against Mr.. Hanlon were of Demo
cratic parentage.

MintnrInr Over.

There is no question but plenty Of stock
comes out in the spring after being wintered
over, very much lighter than it went in in the
fall Where the profit comes in, l never
could understand Wintering over with me,
except for stock kept for breeding, is to Sc
cure better or larger growth. This surely
cannot be secured when the stock gets poorer
aud poorer every day, so that in the spring it
weighs considerably less than in the fall, oven
with the six months additional growth, which
if properly cared for should have made it
weigh considerably more. Then, when ami
mails are allowed to run down, it requires a
considerable part of the spring or summers
feeding to get them back to what they were
and make fresh start to gain and lay on ad-
dtionsl flesh. This is just that much loss,
both in the winterng over and the summer
feeding.
The most profitable plan is to keep the
stock growing every day. Every day they
fail to grow is that much indirectly lost.

BILE this is necessary in order to secure a
profit. Yet there is no economy in stintng
the feed so that stock fail in flesh, gradually
but surely. A little additional feed will at
least keep them up, il not secure gain; aud
you will find, il you try both plans, keeping
a close account of profit, that the stock that
is kept in good growing condition from the
start will give the best profit. Aud this real

ing this, we should certainly take reasonable
pains to secure it.-COr. ". St0ckman.

Amos II. Davis of Contocook, N. H.. says
in the Boston Cultivator
Some assert that the old beetle seldom or
never eats the potato in the spring before
mating. Now l have noticed old beetles eat
ing up the potato leaf and filling themselves
before mating to propagate their species. l
have practiced sprinkling my early potatoes,
when quite small, with Paris green, if the
bugs come in full force. BY this means have
cleared the bugs from the vines, and this
practice has also been great assistance in
keeping the vines free of this pest through
the season. Others in the town have had
similar experience in poisoning the old bee
ties. During the past season found nearly
full.grown Larvae of the potato bug on the leai
of Indian hemp growing in swamp upwards
of half a mile from any farmhouse or potato
field though near the highway"
Mr.. Davis is right. The old beetles ar,
scarcely less voracous than the full-growr
lary@, frequently attacking the early plant al
soon as it appears above ground. Some "higl
authority" has said that the old beetles do no
feed on the vines either before or after pair
ing time, and score of other WRITER'S NOR
familiar with the inside of an Office than will

Genealogical learning.

study VIVA. Can ne U.ed.

The demand of the age is that the courses
of study in the various public schools and
colleges should be 30 modified as to be of a
more practical character. 1t is not enough
that the mind should be disciplined, but, so
far as it is possible intellectual development
should be in the line OF some well-chosen pur-
suit. In our colleges where agricultural aud
mechanical sciences are taught more object
teaching should be done. Subjects under
discussion should be illustrated by models,
and by living plants and animals. This must
ever constitute.one of the chief attractions In
our states of the Union, where farmers sons
can receive the proper training for the pur.
suit that in importance transcends all others.
For the sons, We would insist that practi-
cal agriculture should be taught, and for the
daughters, that domestic science aud all the
arts which adorn the home should not be
omitted. In fact, we should insist that all

The Horns Must Go.

For years we have been harping upon the
necessity of breeding horns off of dairy cat
tie. The necessity for such movement is
admitted by almost every one engaged in the
business. The insuperable obstacle il the
impracticabiity of admitting outside blood
into the herds of thoroughbred cattle for
this purpose, because in securing one virtue
all the others may be lost but, at the same
time, we know how easy 1t is to change the
external features of any breed by judicious
selection. This idea, faithfully pursued for
few generations, would eliminate the horns
even from Texas COWS, much more such a
breed as the Jerseys, whose horns, as a breed
are already in q dilapidated condition. They
grow in all directions, and are soft and easily
broken, so that many of them are now dis
figured by what remains. All that ia neces-
sary to finish the job is, for the fashion to
set strongly in that direction, and in few
years even the present stubs would disappear
So far as looks are considered, mulley COW
is certainly better looking than a COW with
one horn, or two stubs, or one growing for
ward and the other backward, as is now the
case with many specimens in every herd. II
our breeders took as much care of the horns
rs the breeders do on the Island of Jersey,
there would be some sense in retaining them,
but as 1t is, the sooner they are bred of en-
tirely, the better it will be, not only for the
comfort of the weaker members of the herd,
but for the looks of aged animals as well.

The occurrence Of an unusually large num-
Der Of cases OF hydrophobia in different parts
Of the country, and particularly in New Jer-
sey, has given rise to general discussion on
the usefulness Of dogs or rather on their
uselesaness. The CANNES still have few
devoted friends, but an overwhelming major
ity are ready to decide that dogs in general
are "reiic Of barbarism,' and a nuisance
that ought to be abated. The only exceptions
are my dog, and few choice dogs belonging
TO my near friends and relatives, and a small
class Of high-toned dogs belonging to gentle
men Of the same quality. Nearly every one
is more than willing to have all the rest ex-
terminated.
An exchange truly says: Ninety per
cent of all the dogs on farms are worse than
useless, and the world would lose little il
they were extinguished." II this is true OF
dogs on farms it is equally true that ninety
nine per cent Of all dogs not on farms are
worse than useless. In this latter class should
be oil the miserable little poodles, so endear
ing to the affections of soft city ladies', bui
they are not, for some farmers wives affect
the poodle.

A GooD RECIPE FOR CURING HAMS was used
by Mrs. Henry Clay, which in its time Was
famous, and the hams were in great demand
in eastern markets; For every ten hams of
moderate size she took three and one-half
pounds of fine salt, one pound of satpetre
and two pounds of brown sugar, and after
mixing them thoroughly together, rubbed
the hams Herewith on either side. They
were packed in tight box and placed
in cool clubhouse for about three
weeks, when the hams were taken out
and put in picking tub or hogshead
and overed with brine strong enough to
swim an egg. After remaining in The pickle
for about three weeks. they were taken out,
thoroughly rubbed with fresh salt, and hung
up in well-ventilated house for a few days
to dry, after which they were transferred to
the smoke house, where they were smoked
with green hickory or walnut wood until they
bad acquired the color of bright mahogany,
when each ham was sewed up in canvas the
coverings white washed and hung up to dry,
after which they we're whitewsshed again and
packed away in hogsheads with hickory ashes
