Gentlemen Of the assembly The time
has arrievd which has been fixed by JOINT
resolution for final adjournment Be-
fore performing my last official act as
your presi ling officer, desire to tender
you my most profound and respectful
thanks for your kind support and uniform
courtesy which has been extended to me,
and for the commentator which you
have been pleased to bestow upon my Of
fetal course and conduct. The unanimi-
ty with which the expression of your APP
probation was given, affords the most
gratifying assurance that have in some
measure succeeded in carrying out the de-
termination declared at the beginning of
the session, to earnestly endeavor to dis
charge the duties that pertain to this re-
sponsible position fairly, honestly and
impartially."
1t becomes me to acknowledge that If /
have been successful in the administra.
tion Of the duties of the Chair, that sue
cess is largely due to the considerable
kindness with which you have always
sustained me, and to the dignity and
propriety always exhibited by you. We
now separate, each to return to his con-
stituency to bide their judgment upon
his official action.
I While, as in all deliberative bodies,
some errors may have been committed.
my opinion is that greater amount of
useful general legislation has been per-
! formed than has often been done at one
session.
A more laborious legislative body
never convened and the desire to pro
mote the best interests of the State has
universally prevailed.
And now, gentlemen, rendering you all
my warmest and most earnest wishes for
future success, prosperity and happiness,
nothing remains but to bid you each and
all an affectionate farewell, and to per-
form the only remaining duty of my of
fee, in declaring, as now do, that the
Assembly is adj Ourne6 oine Hlp

THE CRACKED TRoUGH-A contributor
of the Prairie Farmer tells a short story
with long application, but pertinent
one:
A few days ago friend sent me word
that, every day, he gave nearly twenty
pals of buttermilk to lot of q shoats,"
and they, scarcely improved at ALL
Thinks I,this is breed of hogs worth see
ing. They must be of the sheet iron kind.
So called on him, heard him repeat the
mournful story, and then visited the sly,
in order to get better view of the
miraculous swine. I went into the pen,
and, on close examination, found crack
| in the trough, through which most of the
contents ran away under the floor. Thinks
|, here is the type of the failures of our
agricultural brethren.
When see farmer emitting all I'M
provements because of little cost, sell
ing all his farm stock to buy bank or
railroad stock or mortgage stock, robbingE
his land, while in reality he is also robb-
ing himself, and his heir, thinks I, my.
| friend, you have crack in your hog
trough.
When see farmer subscribing for a
half dozen political and miscellaneous
papers,and spending all his time in read
ing them, while he doesn't read single
agricultural or horticultural journal,
thinks to myself, poor man, you have
got large crack in your hog trough
When see farmer attending all the
I political conventions, and knowing every
man in town that votes his ticket, and
yet to save his own neck, can't tell who
is President of his County Agricultural
Society, or where the fair was held last
year. [ unanimously come to the con-
clusion that the poor soul has got a crack
IN his hog trough.
| When see farmer buying guano, but
wasting ashes and hen manure, trying ali
sorts of experiments except intelligent
hard work and ECONOMY, getting the
choicest Of seeds regardless of cost, then
planting them regardless of cultivation,
keeping the front fields rich while the
back lots are growing up with thistles,
briars and elders, contributing to the
Choctaw Indian fund, and never giving
a cent to any agricultural society such
man, will give written guaranty, has
got crack in his hog trough, and in his
head Also
