There is a great deal of poor hay in the country which will he fed out between the present time and next spring. And it is a matter of considerable importance to the owners of the cattle which are to eat it, that the best possible time should be chosen and the most economical method of feeding should be pursued. When all possible advantages of the situation are taken, the fact still remains that feeding poor hay is rather a bad job. both for the man who deals it out and the cattle which are obliged to eat the hay. Noi that there is any special trouble in making cattle eat it. By * ll 1 L - 1. i.1 1 . ? Keej'iiig uujni mi ?i t euuu^ii 111^ c-iui uc made to cat almost miy kind of liay. But the difficulty is to make them thrive upon this kind of keeping. The good farmer not only wants to see his cattle eat their hay, hut idso wants them to gain tlesh and increase in value. And to make then? do this while kept only on poor hay is utterly impossible. They must have something from wliicli nourishment can be obtained, or else they will certainly show the ^effect of poor keeping. The poor hay is lacking in nu tritious elements, and in order to make cattle do well while fed upon it, something must be added to make up the deficiency. If this is done, pretty poor hay can be fed with good results to the ' cattle and profit to their owner. My method of disposing of the poor hay which .grows upon two or three acres of cold, wet land which I have, is as follows: During the cold da_fs of early winter 1 feed my stock in the morning with plenty of good hay. About the middle of the forenoon I feed them, 1 either in the stable or barnyards, with good, bright cornstalks. After they have had a run in the yard for five or six hours I cut up a lot of hay by running it through a feed cutter, and put two bushels of the cut hay into the man- ; ger of eacli cow. I then throw on water enough to moisten it, sprinkle on from two to four quarts of meal, and mix it : up with a pitchfork. When the feed is 1 all mixed I let the cows in. They eat the hay up clean and neither dry up nor grow poor while kept in this way. This is the best plan for disposing of poor | hny which I- ever tried, and I think it can be safely recominende.l to the at ten- ; tion of all farmers who have this kind of fodder upon their hands. ' Fresh Apple* the Kntirc Year. 1 Dr. Sylvester told the American Farmers' dub that he has now in his cellar apples of l87o and l.S7<> standing side by i side. Apples so kept are within tin1 reach of almost every family. The process is as follows: , Let. the apples bp picked on a dry day, and carefully place ! in bins in a cool outhouse, where they will in two or three ! weeks have completed the sweating process. Then they arc carefully assorted , and the first quality placed in barrels, headed up, and placed in a cool, shaded 1 position to remain there until the weather is so cold that there is danger of freezing, when the barrels are removed to a good cellar, where a temperature of from thirty to forty degrees should be maintained. In this maimer apples will keep soundly until the season of ripening arrives, when they should be consumed. The King, the Hubbardson, the Baldwin, the Greening, the Spy, the Spitzenburg, the S<var, the Newton Pippin, the Roxbury Russett and the English Russ will ripen nearly in the order indicated by their position in the list, and will then exhibit their best qualities and aroma, and the last mentioned will keep the entire summer if desired. It is Dr. Sylvester's custom to cease the use of apples when the small fruits arrive in their season, keeping up a daily supply of fresh and luscious fruit for each and every meal the entire year. Wtrirint/ Wmitw. A piece of ground in to he lirst selected wliicn has naturally ft perfect bottom dr:iinage, or else it should l?e directly over n covered drain. Plow a broad furrow by passing the plow several times, throwing the earth out on each side, and then clean ouf the .loose earth with a shovel, siu-.l make this shallow trough even and smooth. Tbe roots are to be * then placed in an even heap, about three feet wide, and as long as will take in all the roots. They should not be thrown together carelessly and promiscuously, but evenly piled, by which nearly double the amount may be included in a given space, and the even exterior will admit of covering better. A little practice will enable any one to do tins piling rapiiuv. There are two important requisites for success to be observed: One is to put on plenty of straw, to protect from cold aiul to absorb the dampness of the air. The other is to provide for ventilation at the top. If the layer of straw is thin, and the mass of earth to cover it is quite tliick, the protection from frost will not be so perfect, and the amount of moistnre will have an unfavorable influence. Ventilation at the top of the ridge permits the escape of any damp and heated air, which, without this provision, would rise and envelop the upper roots and injure them, or cause rotting.

Tlio members of the special committee of seven ap]>ointed to devise menus for a satisfactory count of tlie electoral votes entered the Senate chamber. Mr. Edmunds (Iiep.), of Vermont, tlu- chairman of that committee, said: I am directed, Mr. President, by the select committee raised under the resolution of the Senate 011 the subject of counting the electoral vote, to submit a report in writing, with an accompanying bill. The report is signed, I am hnppy to say, bv all the members of both committees. with one exception ; and all that I wish to say 011 this occasion?after stating that we desire to take it up at the earliest possible day, possibly 011 Saturday, but certainly 011 .Monday, to press it to a determination in some form steadily from that day forth?is that the committee are of opinion that the measure we recommend is not what is called ft compromise in any sense of the term, but is a measure in aid of the exercise of constitutional government, and that in 110 sense of the term will anybody have a just right to say that anybody's opinions or views have been surrendered in any substantial respect. It is not a measure of policy or contrivance, but a measure of constitutional justice for the preservation of the peace and order of the government. The report of the committee and the accompanying bill was then read by the chief clerk, audit was ordered that they "be printed. The report is signed by (ieorge l). J'.aniunus, rrc?erick I). Frelinghnysen. lioscoc Conkliug, A. (}. Tlmrinan, T. 1". Bayard and 31. W. Ransom on the part of the Senate, Mr. Morton being the >nly one wlio declined to sign it. On the part uf the House of Representatives it was signed by the seven members, namely : H. 15. Payne, I'ppa Huntou, A. S. Hewitt, W. 31. Springer, George \V. 3lcCreery, George F. Hoar and George Willard. After the report had been read, the bill was read a second time by title and placed <?n the calendar. In a discussion on the Louis* r. tin question Air. Bogy (Dein.), of Missouri, made charges against Gov. Packard which were applauded by the galleries, and these were at once cleared by tlits sergeant-at-aniiK. Mr. Sherman (Hep.), of Ohio, and 3Iorton (Rep.), of Indiana, sustained Gov. Packard. rill-: COMPROMISE KI.EiTOltAI. I1IU.. Iii the Senate 31 r. Edmunds (Hep.), of Vermont. made the opening speech on the bill for counting the electoral vote, or. as it is now known, the Compromise bill. The galleries of the Senate chamber were crowded and every senator in Washington was present in his seat. The speech was listened to with strict attention, 'j'lie speaker entered nj>oii an explanation of the several provisions of the bill, describing them at some length, lie made an onset against the allegation of the right of the president-of the Senate to exercise judicial power in the fount in" of the vote, and his denunciation of those who alleged this right was strong. His i oiut sjgainst those who declare tne inn unconstitutional was this: That there is not a single section of the Constitution, save one, which lias enforced itself without Congressional legislation. I'he excepted section is the one which recognized slaves as property, and in a notable ease, cited by the shaker, this constitutional provision was decided by the supreme court to allow a master to recover a slave us property wherever lie could find him. As to the matter of precedent, the senator declared that in point of fact the votes had been counted bv tellers at the clerk's desk after each Presidential election for a period of forty years. No such crisis as this had ever arisen o necessitate the action of Congress in the matter, and the Congress was now called 011 to exercise a right which had merely lain dormant. He urged senators neither to stimulate doubts in their own minds nor to let their wishes outran their deliberate judgments, and exhorted the chamber, in behalf of the country, not to leave it in danger of tossing anarchy, resembling mountains tumbling everinoie into seas without 11 shore. Mr. Morton (Hep.), of Indiana, followed Mr. Edmunds in the discussion. Mr. Morton was the only member of the Conference committee that did not sign the report and he did not make a minority report. He spoke in opposition to the bill. ' Ho knew that there was great uneasiness in the country and apprehensions ire felt of violence. The bill, lie declared, was presented for the reason that members of the :\vo houses believed that danger threatened the :ountry. Ho did not believe in the reality of lie danger. The real danger to be apprelended was in not standing up and doing our .vhole'duty. For one he was not afraid that if his vote should be counted as it was for the irst soventv-two years in the history of our government there will be any revolution. He jelieved that any one who attempts it will be itterlv destroyed. He regarded the bill as a omproniise. and that it should take its place alongside the notable compromises in the hisorv of the country?the compromise of 1X20 ind U10 compromise of 1850. He believed that Itutlnrford ]>. Hayes was fairly elected ['resident, and if counted in lie would be naugurated without violence and there vould be 110 revolution. He closed abruptly ifter holding the floor only liftv minutes. Mr. ' ?6rton maintained that in the absence of legis ation the president of tlie Senate must, count he votes to prevent a deadlock. He did not iold that this power should be exercised in opH?sition to the will of the two houses, but its jxercise he held to be no more of a usurpation han had been committed in every count down ;o the adoption of the twenty-second joint rule. His chief objection to the bill was that it gives lie commission power to go behind the reurris and ascertain what electors were duly ajvxuuted, which he held to be unconstitutional, tnd regarded besides as a change of the existng status in favor of the Democrats. Mr. Freinghuvsen (Hep.), of New Jersey, followed Mr. Morton in a written speech in favor of the bill. Ke denied that it gave the commission power to ;n back of the papers submitted to it to see tow returning boards performed their duties. Mere were two diverse ltcpublican opinions at lie outset as to the most important feature of he measure. Mr. Cameron (licp.), of Pennsylvania, made a live minutes' speech against he bill, denouncing it as a Democratic atTair, framed bv three or four Itepitblicans to gratify heir political opponents. It created, ho saiii, i political court, to cheat one party or theother, ?y trick or lot. Mr. Edmunds < Hep.), of Vermont, declared that prompt action was necessary, and that he should push matters to a rote. Mr. Sherman (Itep.K of Ohio, held the lloor "or an hour, during which he delivered a speech igainst the Electoral bill. lie traveled over lie same ground traversed by Senator Morton, ind dwelt chielly on the points assailed by the 'ndiana senator. He maintained that tho Conititution clothed the president of the Senate vith the ]>ower to count the electoral votes, ind asserted that the legislature proposed by he conference committee of the two houses vas not only unconstitutional but antagonistic o the spirit of our government. What tlie iresident of the S< mile did was in the presence ind under tin- scrutinizing gaze of the representatives of the States and the people, in open Invalid with the eyes of the nation upon him. vliile the incnigruous tribunal created unaer lie provisions of the proposed hill would hit in ifcret and. unseen hv mortal eve. pass judgnent that concerned the weal or woe of forty nillions of ]>eople: and tlii* judgment, afterali. vuiild l>e hut the (million of one man. the fifth judge, who would doubtless have to he selected iy lot by his four colleagues of the supreme icncli designated by the bill. Mr. Conkling (Itep.), of New York, spoke at engtli in favor of the bill. He attacked the issumption that the Vice-President had or was ntended by the fratners of the Constitution to lave any power whatever in regard to the Sectoral vote, except to o'len the certilicates, ind alluding to the langu igc of the Constitii, lion which says that "t!'e president of the Senate shall open the electoral certificates and they shall then be counted," lie turned aside, mil, with one hand outstretched to the senators, the other stretched toward the president's .'hair. cx<Jainicd : " 15y liini !"' in a tone which <et the galleries fluttering. "If it had been intended that the vote should be counted by liiui, those two little words," said he. "as two senators have said before me, would have expressed that intention." "Is a President, then, to be chosen," asked Mr. ['onkling, "by counting forged votes: votes for ii ina'.i condemned to lasting disgrace r.nd inibilitv by the Senate on impeachment: votes for i dead man V Wan it intended by those who framed the Constitution that votes for a dead man should till with an aching void the i'resi dential olfice V To count mv lingers," he said, "thatis a purely liiiiiistcrifl oll'icc: to count a pile of paper is the same: to count bank notes, among which may be counterfeits, and to s ort the true from the false, that requires the exercise of judgment. If New York should send here forty-live electoral votes tlsev would not be counted: they would have to he sorted." " (ii vernineiit," he said, " rests 011 the consent of the governed. Is a majority of Congress less to be trusted than one man ? A bare majority of this Mouse might select a presiding officer for the express purpose of counting in a candidate. Is such a creature of an hour of more force or more trustworthy than the wisdom of the two houses?'' Mr. Conklintr said, in conclusion, he believed the Republican nominee had been chosen the chief magistrate of this country, and he askeii him to take a title to his gr.mt office that no one could question. If this hill was a compromise of truth, of law or of light, he was against it: but lie denied that it was any compromise, and. above all. it did not compromise right principle or the Constitution. To contest a claim was not to compromise it. To insist upon an honest, fair counting of the electoral votes was not a compromise. A Presidential election had occurred, and unless there was a tie somebody had been chosen. To establish that fact was no compromise. The bill surrendered the rights of none, but asserted and maintained the rights of all. It submitted to lawful authority the solution of the pending question. The bill might be denounced by partisans on one side or t!j" other. It might be derided by the adventmvrs and the thoughtless. It might not for the present receive the approbation of even the thoughtful or patriotic, but he would vote for it becuase he believed it advantageous and within the Constitution. It would be beneficial to the people of all the ! States, including that great State whose interest j and whose honor was ho dear to hini. The bill I might be divided now, but time, at whose great i altar all passions and all prejudices must bow, I would at last vindicate the bill and those who I projiosed it. Mr. Morton (ltep.), of Indiana, presented and read a number of telegrams from the people of | Indiana, against the passage of the bill, and said that he liad received more than 200 of them from his own and other States. He declared that leading Ik-publican papers were against it. In reply to this Mr. McDonald (Detn.), of Indiana, said that he was at Indianapolis three days before and heard but one opinion relative to the bill and that was in favor of it. t>??.1 /r>nm v nf Delaware. sooke for | .111. uywu ? , . j two hour* on the bill and in its favor. Mr. Christiancv (Hep.), of Michigan, also i spoke in favor of the bill, closing with u strong I protest against the charge that the judges will disregard their oaths and decide according to tiieir political predilections. He said that the party which should rcjoct. this bill without offering one equally fair would necessarily forfeit the support of the people. Mr. Dawes (Hep.), of Massachusetts, wanted I the scope of the bill delined so that the commission should not claim the right to invade the State of Massachusetts and take from the governor and council the power of determining who the State has appointed as her electors. Mr. Thurman (Dem.), of Ohio, spoke in favor of the bill. He maintained the constitutionality <>f the measure, and argued that the question was of such importance that the perpetuity i of the nation * depended upon its solution. There never was greater reason than now to constitute such a tribunal as the bill proposed, beneath which in importance all others sunk into insignificance. As a member of the joint committee ho would say, Democrat as he was, i that he would be willing to submit the decision ' of the question to the committee itself, for lie felt in thi! atmosphere which surrounded the I special committee that when the day of trial came men could rise above party and perform their duty. , At seven o'clock in the morning, after a night session, the bill passed the Senate by a vote of ! 47 yeas to 17 nays.

IIOIIHC. A good deal of time wan occupied deciding , the question an to whether the House should 1 proceed to the consideration of the resolutions reported form the committee on the privileges I und duties of the House in counting the electoral votes, or that of a compromise plan. The Itepnblicans'favored the latter and the Democrats the former. The House decided, by a vote ; of 141 to 81, to proceed with the resolutions reported by the committee on privileges, which i are as follows: First?That the Constitution does not confer on the president of the Senate power to exf amine and a.-certain the votes to be castas the electoral votes. Second?That the only power which the Con htitution does confer on the president of the Senate in the matter is to receive the sealed j list transmitted to him by the several electoral colleges, keep the same safely, and open all ! certificates (or those purporting to be mr.h) in the presence of the two houses. j Third?That the Constitution does conlcr on the Senate and House of Representatives ; hepower to examine and ascertain the votes ko be counted as electoral votes. Fourth?That in the execution of such powet ' the House of Representatives is at least equal with the Senate ; and Fifth?That 110 vote can be counted against ' the judgment and determination of the House of Representatives. \tv Knott, fDr-in.V ?f Kentucky, chairman of the committee, addressed the House in support of the principles enunciated in the resolutions, concluding with these words Believing that this House has a high power and a solemn duty to perform in regard to counting the electoral votes for President and Vice-President, in my humbla judgment, any attempt on the nart of any men or body of men, executive, legislative or ministerial, to coerce this House to count a vote which in it? judg4nout i? invalid or void, or to coerco tliiM House to throw out a vote which, in its judgment, is , legal and valid, or to interfere in any manner whatever with the peaceful discharge of its constitutional functions in this high regard, would ! be an utter subversion of our constitutional government, and, if accompanied by armed and organized force, would be treason to the United .States of America. Mr. Burchard, (Hep.), of Illinois, a member of the committee, offered, on behalf of the four Republican members pf the committee, the fol lowing as a substitute for the resolutions by the I committee: First?That it is the power and duty of the House, conformably with the Senate, to provide by law or other constitutional method, a mode for fairly and truly ascertaining and properly counting the electoral vote of each State, so as to give effect to the choice of each State in the ) election of President and Vice-President. * i Second?That in the absence of legislative : provision on the subject, or authoritative direc' lion from the Senate and House of Representatives, the president of the Senate, upon opening j the certiticates, declares and counts the electoral . votes for President and Vice-President of the ; United States. \r,- FTnntpi- fDemA of Virginia, from the Judiciary committee, reported a resolution dis' clinrging Wm. Orton, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, from the custody of the sergeant-at-arms. Adopted. Mr. Ellis (Dem.), of Louisiana, offered a resolution calling on the President for information in regard to the rival governments in Louisiana. Kef erred. Two of the members of the Louisiana returning board, J. Madison Wells and Thomas C. Anderson, were'brought before the bar of the House to answer to the charge of contempt. They asked for and were granted further time. Messrs. Willis and Tsrbox expressed their ' hostility to the Electoral bill, and Mr. Chittenden, of New York, followed with a speech in its defense. Jn the course of his remarks lie said that lie had ascertained that the House coiii tained only ninetv-onc members who were not lawyers. He was, he said, one of the ninety-one ? a layman?and while he had great respect lor the Constitution, and listened usually with great interest to the discussion of very nice and line Constitutional pointsbv the eminent legal talent of the House in this case he was a mere layman, having the interests and prospertiyof the country ar heart, wishing tost>e confidence and prosperity restored, and great calamities averted ; 1 begged tnem not to dwell too long on those recondite niceties of law in which they naturally delighted, but to set the country at ease by passing the Electoral bill. . .Mr. Lamar ( J)ein.), of Mississippi, from the Paeiiic railroad committee, reported back favor 'ably the ronnie muosicnum^ i?? the time for the completion of the Northern Pari lie railroad, Jieferred. Mr. Wood (Detn.), of New York, offered u resolution that the message of the President relative t'> the use of troops in the South be referred to a select committee of eleven to iixjuin; whether tl?ere had been an exercise of authority no* warranted by the Constitution and laws in the nse of troops for which the President iri justly responsible, with power to send for persons und papers. After discussion, the resolution was adopted by a vote of 134 yeas to 75 nays. Why Didn't He! Dr. .Schliemann is not without honor save in California. A San Francisco editor exclaims: All the gold cups, put; and ornaments which used to decorate i.lsH festive Pritun, the pious iEneas and the frail Helen are presented by the doctor to the king of Greece, and the learned and philanthropic antiquarian in addition pays 129 workrn n for their services.

Turkey's Decision?What Next I Two hundred and tliirty-seven digni; tunes and officials of the Ottoman empire, organized as a grand council, have declared that Turkey must fight rather than submit to further conditions proposed by Europe, and have refused to remit the decision in the case to the . sultan, but have dictated to him that lie, as -well ns Europe, must accept the decision thus given. In this there is an exhibition by what might be called political vivisection of a process not uncommon in the growth of nations, in wliich ' an executive not theoretically subject to popular control gives place to one that is admittedly and professedly the organ of the popular will. His majesty the ' snltau has become a puppet in the most extreme degree, and his excellency the grand vizier is the lord and lender of the Ottomans. For seven hundred years the office of grand vizier has existed in the Ottoman scheme of politics, and tli3 holders have been practically the lieu ; tenants of the sultan. The word vizier is Arabic, and signifies a porter. The grand viziers have borne the burden of j executive duties, and the sultans have I enjoyed the dignities, the pleasures, the glories of the sovereign oiUce. - If any honor was to be accredited for great ' achievement it wont to the sultans. If | any head was to be cut off in expiation j of a blunder the grand vizier's head was j handy. Bnt labor and the conception j that its occupant could be made respon! sible have caused the growth of one office ; the pursuit of pleasure and im: munity from responsibility have pro' duced the atrophy of the other. In the recent advance to foremost position of 1 the extreme Moslem element of the Turkish people there is a great revolution, and that revolution has put forward as its exponent and organ Midhat Pacha, and has intimated to the sultan that if he becomes an obstacle to its puri poses he will be dealt with as were j ?Uurad and Abdul Aziz. Sultans no I6nger command the decapitation of viziers, but the vizier summons a grand j council, procures that that council shall promulgate us its own wiu wnaiever ne : has determined to do, and warns the sultan not to put himself in danger by : standing -in the way. War might at i such a moment destroy the empire it } finds in a transition state, but a successj fill war in such circumstances would establish the change as a progressive stage in the national history, it is to this moment altogether uncertain whether there will be war. Russia is obviously less eager for the fray since it i has been known that England would | interfere to defend Constantinople. All I the rest of Turkey is a bagatelle to Rusj sia compared to the city on the Bi.sj phorus ; and if she may tight and waste j lier treasure and whip the Turks and yet not gain the goal of her ambition, why I should she tight at all ? From this j point of view, therefore, it is evident j that England really supports the Turks j at last, however much she may declare ' her indifference to their late, and Russia probably does not care to tight the Turks on such conditions.?New York Herald. ~ ?i i The linsincss Prospects. An influential New England manufacturer, who has been in Washington, remarked that the position of the country is now in every way favorable to a general revival of industry if only confidence in the future is restored. The crops of | the year are all either ample or very large. The com crop was within two per cent. aH great as the immense crop of 1875, and in the form of pork is bringing good prices, with a good foreign demand, j The wheat crop is good, and sold at paying prices. The cotton crop was large I anil profitable, and was combined with I a larger production than ever before of food supplies by the Southern States. Wool has passed the extreme point of depression, and is bringing fair prices. The sugar crop of Louisiana was enormous, and is selling at fair* prices. Leather has passed the point of depression. The exports arc large at full prices and the price has advanced from four to six cents per pound, with the home demand brisk. All the New Eugland cotton mills which are up to the times are now able to earn dividends, and the aggregate export of cotton goods is larger now than before the war and is steadily, though slowly, increasing. The most important sign of all, in his view, is the sense of stability and hopefulness for the future, in case the Presidential difficulty is peaceably settled; a feeling which has not obtained since the panic of 1873, and uhicli reaches eveiy important branch of industry. This feeling only needs the settlement of the Presidential question, and then of the currency question, he says, to take effect in constructive enterprises of all kinds, to make up for the complete stoppage of all such undertakings during the last two or three years. Tims, he thinks, labor now unemployed would immediately find employment in the building of new mills, warehouses, railroads ami other large works. lu Persia none of the judges are paid, so that lie who bribes best wins. Popularity. The popularity of Messrs. .Tamos S. Kirk ?V C'o.'s soaps, manufactured in Chicago, is shown hv the unprecedented sale which their goods have reached during the year 1876. This by far is the largest soap manufacturing concern in the United States, producing and selling in all parts of this country, from the Red river of the North to New Orleans, and from Portland, Me., to San Francisco. 25,000,000 pounds annually. No so-called greases enter into these soaps. Only pure refined tallow and vegetable oils are used, containing 110 adulteration. Fair and square weights always reliable. This is why their soaps are so popular with all'good and economical housekeepers. * There is Halm iu Uilcad, And the Tar of Abie's Balsama, or Balm of Gilead Tree, combined with Honey and the Extract of H'?rehound, 111 the form of Hale's Honey of Horehound and Tar, ifl the most potent remedy for colds, coughs, hoarseness and influenza, ever administered in this or any other country.

Among the most exquisite scenes which dolight the eye of the European traveler are those wonderful* rose colored cloud banners, floating from the Alpine cliffs. But it is only in the sunlight that nature hangs these beautiful tokens. So it is only in the glow of health?the sunlight of our inner being?that nature reveals those physical cloud banners, the " rosy cheek " and " cherry hps," to praise which every poet of the earth has invoked the muse to aid him. Lnt they are as rare as the cynical Hood concoived Christian charity to be".

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription has received the highest praise from thousands of pale, delicate, suffering women. One bottle often affords more relief than months of treatment 1 by caustics and other medicines.
