/
ton of plants are pretty much the same
al through. Roots love darkness, and yet
wish to be as near as possible TO the sur
face; and whether it is the root of an
apple tree OF the root of a cornstalk,
makes no difference 10 the working Of
this law. live plow deep and cut oft the
surface roots, the deeper ones are unable
to reap any benefit from the atmosphere;
and those covered by the soil plowed over
them are in just the same position. This
is the science of the thing. But better
than all this is the experience or those
who have Gied the matter by careful and
intelligent experiments. So far as we
know, every such test has resulted in
favor of fat culture and against killing
up.
II is very fashionable to rail at "mere
theorists" yet we believe that many of
our absurdest practices have resulted in
the most commonplace theories, and that
this is one of them. Some one probably
noted the little rootlets coming out of the
joints above the soil, and thought they
wanted earth to cover them. Killing was
started on the theory that it was helping
nature or it may have originated with
some lazy fellow who thought he would
not hoe or harrow early, but wait a little
longer, and then one good blowing would
do the whole job.
However, no matter how it originated,
If is a mistakenly bad practice, and should
be left TO go the way of many absurd
things.

IknIinR Corn.

Thomas Meehan, the intelligent observer
and editor of the Gardeners Monthly,
writes as follows 10 the Philadelphia
Press
1t is surprising that the barbarous old
practice Of killing corn should still find
advocates and followers. After years of
effort on the part of the intelligent por-
ton of the agricultural and horticultural
press, it is now pretty well understood
that il will not do to continually plow and
iniure the surface roots of fruit trees in
the orchard. But we have heard intelli-
gent men say that though they would
disturb an orchard as little as possible in
this way, yet corn was quite another mat
tcr. But the laws which govern the nutri-

rrainInr Horsss 1o be safe.

1t is easy to train a horse not to be
dangerous. 1t is easy but ii requires pa
tience and good sense in the trainers, and
in the colt too. Ii is not at all difficult
TO train young horse under almost any
circumstances; and if something unusual
should terrify him, he should run to his
master sooner than to run away
from him. A horse properly trained win
always look to the rider or driver in the
time of fright for protection, and instead
of kicking and tearing every thing to
pieces, when scared he viii when he sees
you standing by him, and feel your hand
on his head or on the rein, put his trust
in you, and regard you as his only hope
in time of danger.
This was often illustrated during the
war. All who served in the cavalry or
artillery force have seen how terribly
frightened horse appeared the moment
his rider tumbled from the saddle. II
mattered not how great the hour of
deadly strife-the horse seemed uncon-
scious of danger until left alone without
rider or attendant. The moment the
riders hold was released, and the steed
found himself separated from the one he
was trained to regard as protector, that
moment he became furiously wild, and
would begin to neigh and run in every di-
rection, ofteniimes pressing into the group
in the front rank, seeming TO fad comfort
by rubbing his sides against the legs of
the riders of other horses.
Every farmer who raises colts, could,
with little care, make them familiar
with the saddle and harness on their back
or under their belly, and also to teach
them to hold back carriage on down
hill grade by bracing their hips against it.
A horse taught ID that way would not be
scared if the rotten breast-strap should
give way or the pole break and let the
carriage against him.
Farmers can RAISE colts that will pay
well by giving some attention to educating
them for the various purposes horses are
used for.--Rural World
