A supply Of swamp muck Of good
quality is a valuable accessory to q
farm. There is no necessity to haul
ii to the barnyard and back again. a
certain quantity might be serviceably
brought to the barn and used when



dry as bedding for the stock, leaving
the straw to be fed. But it would be
better to carry the barn-yard to the
muck than all the muck to the barn
yard with a great cost Of labor. The
better plan in such case is to draw
the muck to the field where it is to be
used, after it has been dried for some
months, and there mix it with the
manure from the barn-yard, and let
the whole ferment together Other
portions may be drawn and mixed
with fresh dry-slacked lime in the
heap as it is made; the muck soon
rots, and we have found it very useful
as dressing for grass Intelligently
used, muck is valuable, but otherwise

Jobs await them, it is too frequent q
custom to deprive them Of their grain
and allow them to shift for themselves
on the pastures, often without needed
shelter from the bleak winds and early
frosts Of autumn nights. After feed
ing awhile the poor animals get
chilled, and run about in the dark in
search Of warmth, which they often
find only at the cost Of a tumble OF
fall, resulting often in sprain Or cut
that Injuries Or disfgures them for life
Then when warm and tired they lie
down to rest; what wonder if they
rise up stiff, spiritless, and not rarely
suffering from a severe cold after their
heating blood and relaxed sinews
have been exposed to the blasts and
frosts Of a chilly night! When the
days are not stormy it is well enough
to let a horse run into the pasture
but every autumn night should find
them comfortably bedded and fed il
the stable. Ingratitude to our fellow
men is justly considered an odiou;
vice, but is there not often a strong
taint Of it also in the treatment O.

St. Paul, MINI, is entering the lists in the
rivalry of cities for the export trade of the
country. Agencies from this city have been
established in London, Glasgow and Liver
pool, for the sale Of Minnesota -four in Eu-
rope, shipped on through ocean bills of lad
ing to the final destination. The total
charge to pay on the other side is always
computed on the face of the bill in pounds,
shillngs and pence, making the document
at once equivalent to a bill of exchange, and
it is said that the attached draft Is often sold
in New York for more than its face value.
Thirty thousand barrels have thus been ship
ped direct from Minnesota during the past
two months, and the indications are that
much larger amount will be shipped in the
future, since this method is attended with an
important saving of the enormous handling
and commission charges at New York.

masted schooner John Ponder, were az
rested at Chester this evening for refusing

the captain agreeing to meet the vessel at

with butcher knives, and refused to do
work of any kind. The mate, badly

in the middle of the river and came ashore
in yawl boat, and stated the case to the

professed to have plan of his own for the ad

trarv the essence of the socaled Southern policy was
the absence of plan, as strict observance OF the
maxim that the duty of the President is simply to en-
force the Federal laws leaving the States to take care
of their own concerns. The disagreement between
the President and the "stalwart" Republicans was
not with respect to his principles, but with re-
spect to their practical application; and without
abandoning any part of his former policy" they
claim it is easy for Mr. Hayes to adopt vigorous line
of action TO suit the changed circumstances of the
present time The President is bound to enforce to
the fullest extent the Federal election laws by which
the Nation has undertaken to secure the equal rights
of all citizens and the equal rights of all the States.
Many of the leaders of the party have widely differed
from the pacific course of the president, and the
placing of ex-confederate generals at the head OF
majority of the Congressional committees and the re-
cent elections which returns almost solid South to
the opposite party, has had the effect to nerve these
