OUR Observation-Disclosures.

In this utilitarian age, when in our high.
|er schools, men and women are educated
for particular callings; when. our colleges
attempt to teach agriculture; when the
best endowed University in our land, makes
this leading feature; when agriculture is
taking rank with the sciences, and its pro-
found problems are taxing the powers Of
men renowned for intellect and culture,
ought we not to inquire at least, if some
thing, perhaps, much, may not be done in
our common schools, so appropriately called
s'the peoples colleges" IN the same direc-
ton. 49,, ; -. .... :
Strange, as it may seem, when 80 much
is now attempted in our higher institutions !;
our public schools, designed to prepare stu
dents for the practical business of active
lives, say nothing, teach nothing in relation
to agriculture, the most practical, andaby
far the most common and important of all
pursuits, especially in rural districts, where
nine. tenths of all their students will be eth
er farmers or farmers wives. - -,
Botany, chemistry, geology, sndmechsn-
lies, all have to do with agriculture. With
how much interest and zest the study of
these sciences would be pursued when ta-
ken up with direct reference to their bear
ing upon the business by which The pupil
intends to make his bread. How thrilling
ly interesting would experiments become
when made upon soils, plants and manures,
with the aid Of capable instructors. What
is better calculated to develop the intellect
and cultivate it's powers, than studying the
growth of vegetation and the laws of deve1-
opment? Is there not also here ever vary
ing beauty to cultivate the taste?-Amer-

SIMPLICITY OF THE EARLY PRESIDENTS.
On the 18th of March, 1901, Thomas Jeffer.
son rode on horseback, unattended, to the
Capitol, hitched his sober gelding at the
gate, ascended the steps, took the oath of
Office from the lips of John Marshall, and
delivered that inaugural address which has
since been the keynote ofthe Democratic
party: John Quincy Adams, when his
Presidential term expired, mounted a quiet
nag, tied a portmantesu behind him, and
wended his way leisurely from Washington
to Quincy, Mass, declining to receive any
public demonstrations from his admirers
along the route. At the close of General
Jackson's long and remarkable administra-
ton, he departed from the Federal capital
seated in the smoking car of the railway, clad
in simple garb, waving a graceful farewell
to the friends who crowded the depot, and
drawing consolation from democratic clay
pipe. ..- -r.f. '"

A REMEDY FOR SNAKE B1TE.-I have
seen two horses, one COW and two dogs, that
were bitten by rattlesnakes last season. In
two instances I killed the snakes. A very
large snake bit horse while he was har.
messed to wagon-I ran to house near
by; procured piece of indigo, the size Of
three or four grains of corn. moistened
and softened it with spirits of camphor,
and rubbed it on the wound and drove on
without any perceptible injury to the ami.

bitten on the side Of his nose; it made him
howl and run around as if in great pain
we applied the indigo as before, and he soon
recovered. I have never known this rem

known, l give it to you for the benefit Of

DUTIES OF SoLD1ERs.-A certain Con.
federate regiment that served during the
war in the Western department was com.
manded until after the battle of Murfrees-
boro by colonel who was foreigner by
BIRTH but soldier by choice and education.
He never learned to use good English, but
he had short way of expressing himself in
impetuous EXPLANATIONS that was quite as
effective in conveying his conclusions as his
|practiced sword was in disabling an adver-
sary., This anecdote is attributed to him
Once, when some general officers were hest
tating about making an important but des-
perate movement, on account of the loss Of
life it was likely to involve, he happening
to be present, brawled out: "What, kill
soldier, What soldier made for? Soldier
paid to be killed, py DAM" -
At the battle of Murfreesboro, when a
certain brigade was, ordered forward, on
Wednesday, to assist in the attack on the
Federal right, the regiment commanded by
the forei-n officer referred to, met with
such furious reception from "the boys of
the West" as they prided in calling them
selves, that it wavered, and was on the
point of falling into confusion, when it is
said he instantly brought the men to sense
of their duties and responsibilities by dash
ing madly along the line, brandishing his
sabre over their heads, and shouting at the
top Of his voice :-"sGo up tab, men! Go up
tab! Py tam, do you want to live always?"

CORN GROWN FoR FODDER.

A correspondent at Prospect Hill, Va.
writes as follows:
sI had seen corn sown for fodder so high
|ly recommended in the Country Gentleman
and Rural Affairs, that thought I would
try little by way Of experiment. OnJune
Is planted inst 'one-third Of an acre. in
drills three feet apart. I took my Wethers
field drill, put in the largest seed, and went
over each row twice, and then covered with
"a cultivator. It grew finely. cultivated
lit twice with an A harrow, set so as to take
only to the middle between the rows, anc
ran itup and down each row. By so doing
I could run very close to the young corn
and kill the weeds, and not injure or eoye'
the young plants. I cut it with a .briei
scythe, and one man could cut as fast al
four could bind. This was September 28
Put it in small stacks, or rather shocks, and
let it stand. Commenced feeding it to my
horses and mules (5) November l, and il
lasted them until the Sd of December, anc
is by far the best fodder have. I shall
put in several acres next year, for it moi
only yields very profitable crop for the
farm, las the ground was poor, but it kills
the weeds most efectually, which is great
point here. / believe that I shall make ii
a paying crop in money. Fodder is always
saIeable at $40 per stack, ten. Now
can get four tons on land that will not pro
duce more than ten bushels of corn per acre,
giving me $40 per acre, at much less cos,
than corn at $40. ! shall therefore have
so for each acre, and allowing 80 for
seed, cultivating, gathering, etc., shat
have $50 per acre to buy the best fertili'

proper mode of using that money, there can

HINTS TO COTTON PLANTERS.

If you can benefit any of your many
subscribers, by inserting the enclosed hinsI
to cotton planters, please doso. It is mo-
known to every cotton planter, to what eX
tent the cotton plant can be improved.
will give my experience. ~.. -. -,
Some ten or twelve years ago, l bought
tof Mr.. David Dickson some of his impro
we'd cotton seed. He showed. me how he
selected and improved the cotton. fol
lowed his directions, and experienced nc
difficulty in improving the cotton, but found
lit very hard, or rather out of my power to
keep it pure, until I fell upon the plan o.
thinning the cotton after it squared, and
before it bloomed. I selected every boil
every year with my own fingers, and yet
would get some impure or mongrel stalks
until I thinned as above-taking care to
pull up the poorly squared stalks. I need
not attempt to describe how susceptible oi
the cotton plant is. Suffice
it to say, am satisfied I improve on ii
every year. I pick from the best stalks
the choicest bolls-having respect at the
same time, to those with most lint, and
preferring those with small white seed.
Perhaps some one may tell US through
the Cultivator. next fall, how to increase
the lint and reduce the weight of the seed.
If that has to be done, las think it will,
by proportioning the stand to the strength
of the soil, then the planter should always
take his head with him in the field. Come,
cotton planters, let US, like good generals,
improve from misfortunes; and as in days
of black labor, cotton was King, let US now
make it Emperor.-Morntos Holman, IN
So. Cultivator. .-
