The lesson incucated by the following
from the pen of Hon. F. Fl. Halbrook, in the
New England Farmer, is one Of the great
value TO the thinking farmer


"How true is The remark OF Mr. Coke,
late Earl of Leicester that the value OF farm

made of If cattle eat straw, aloue
the cattle are straw, the farm is straw,
and the farmer is straw-they are all

ers, which were not expected 10 give milk
till the following grass season. The hrst
four were tied in the stable side, and recelv-
ed each, in addition to hay and stalks, four
quarts of small potatoes each morning and
two quarts of corn and oat>meal each even


ing during the winter. AS we expected,
they gave a good mess of milk, and came
out well in the spring. The manure OF The
four cows was thrown out OF a stable win

other four animals were TIED in The same
stable next to the first four, and received
only hay and corn fodder. Their manure
was thrown out by itself al the next stable
window, ard under the same shed, so that
the two heaps lay side by side. The heap
that was made by the first tour cows that
were daily messed with potatoes and meal,
kept hot and smoking all winter, and was
wholly free from frost. The heap made by
the other animals that had only hay aud
stalks, showed no signsof iermetation and
was somewhat frozen Observing this diff
renee from time to time, curiosity prompt
ed me in the spring 10 apply those two
heaps Of manure separately, but IN equal
quantities, side by side on piece of corn

where the manure from the messed cattle
was applied, over that were the other heap

Is the Republican party dead! We infer
so from the fact that lis leaders are afraid
to call convention in this State. The his
tory of that party in Pennsylvania is instruc-
live. Ii is a history OF fraud and deception
Before the campaign Of 1856 he Republican
party proper could not poll more than ten
thousand votes in the city of Phla., and
its strength throughout the country districts
was in about the same proportion. In the
Presidential election of 1856 Republicanism
was disguised by fusion with Americanism
--and since that time it has never dared to
make fair, open fight with the Democracy
under its true name. In the elections o'
1858 and 1889 this state was carried against
the Democratic party BY all those opposed
to the Buchanan Adminis1ration-thls cir
cumlocutory phrase being used for the pur
pose of fusing factions by the attraction OF
common antipathy which could not have
been united upon the basis OF congenial
opinions. In the election Of 1850 the Re-
publican party, still afraid to prosecute the
ampaign under its true colors sought ref
uee and concealment in the name of Peo-
ple's Party" and now in The year 1862 the
elements composing ihis organization are
about TO undergo another change. The
Peoples Party is worn out, effele, rotten
The managers must devise some startling
noyelty-some fresh attraction something
to amuse and gull the innocent public, and
perpetuaie the power OF circle OF huck-
steriag politicians, who have not the cour>
age to stand by their true colors.


This fact is suggestive of the incaPacity
OF the Republican party 10 sustain an ad-
ministraiion of Its own choice. Even when
in power they are an opposition party, rec-
ognzing lhe Democracy as a centre against
which 10 combine Their only idea OF
political organization is to defeat the Demo
cratic party. The incapacIty OF The RePuo-
lican parry 10 sustain the Administration OF
lis choice is clearly illustrated by passing
events. Mr. Lincoln encounters the great
esl trouble from men of his own party
They oppose his policy and give his admin
| istration all the trouble il has 10 contend
! against. While The democracy are support
ing the government without making any


noise about it, The Republicans are Perpet-


ually wranging and squabbling about the
| policy of the Administration. They seem


to have entered into conspiracy to dis
| credit the Administration. They have plum


derad the reasury 10 the extent OF millions


upon millions of dollars until this infamous


business eliminated in the withdrawel OF

1emocrat-yes, Democrat who belonged


TO MIR Buchanan's administration. Repub-


licanism AS a governing power Is failure
| "a sad and miserable failure. What won

and are seeking some refuge from the com

Exchange ON Europe fell last week from l47 to

panic in gold which will startle operators. The
indications are that Mr.. Chase viii recommend to
Congress, when It meets, one week hence, to
attempt new financial, policy, and that he will
be authorized 10 negotiate heavy loan OH United

have long desired and tho probability is that they
will be gratifcd. Under these circumstances a

WAGoNs,-As the may be continued for q
long time aud armies be required to move
through the interior Of the country, il is necessary
ior our success that should have many wagons


Wrsean form some idea OF the great number from
the fact that t;eneral Scott had about thrco
thousand in Mexico, for about ten thousand
soldiers How are to furnish these wagonsI
We cannot import them; We must construct them.
For this we need suitable timber aud wagon
makers. The timber should be prepared in time
aud the wagon makers set to work We should
not rely on our plantation wagons-they are ne
cessary for the plantations This wagon matter is
a matter Of the most serious. .eOnsideraton-some-
body must attend to it; for without the wagons
we cannot sacceed in our effort for independence.
Let it be remembered that Bcauregard was re-
strained from moving Washington through the
fear that he could not do so with advantage with
out more transports than he then controlled. IL
also appears that he could not remove intO our
safe keeping all the military stores captured at
Cornth, for the want Of wagons. See the im,
porfance of wagons, and the propriety of setting

IA We have before us a copy Of the Fay
lor's Falls Reporter, published in tic St.
Croix Valley in this State, but sfronl its
advertising columns are unable to gather
the least idea Of the size Of the place or
amount of business done there. We find
in II a notice of one dry good store; d
lime kiln; watchmaker; cabinet shop;


tin shop; milliner store and one Or two
lawyers cards. From the home patronage
of the paper we should say Taylor's Falls
contained about hundred inhabitants.
People have a mistaken idea of local news

place realize as they should, that the lo-
cal paper benefits place according to its
circulation out Of it, they will have learn
ed valuable lesson. The village PAPER
should be tho mirror Of the place, should
give. those abroad an idea Of what is done
and who is doing it in the town where
published. If a, paper could show a
hundred men Or firms engaged in bust
ness, people would at once say that village
was a prosperous one. If on the contrary
