How Farmers Can Protect Themselves.
The Western Rural speaking of the
great work done for mankind by farmers
says:
The farmers do not occupy the place they
should in point of influence. Oftentimes
they are -OverFeacbed, in communities as
well as individuals. Legislators fail to do
their duty in regard to their interests.
Combinations of men-rings and cliques
lie in wait to fasten upon the rewards Of
their labor; huge corporations overshad-
ow their interests and eat out their sub
stance. Thus the profits of their products
are reduced, and the return of their toll
are too far unremundative. Many farm
ers are therefore unable to surround them
selves with appliances which would cheap
en- their labor and enhance their profits
nor can they surround their firesides with
many pleasant and elevating attractions
and adornments which inspire increased
love of home, and give to each member
of the family proper estimate of the inn
portance and nobility of the farmers call
ing.
Wherein lies the remedy? We answer,
by cooperation among the farmers. Liv-
ing apart, segregated, and each one pur-
suing the bent of his own mind, their in
teres Is in common are neglected. Strength
lies in union. If the farming class could
be moulded into a harmonious whole, its
influence would be potential to protect
their interests, to correct abuses, and
thwart the Vaccinations of Others who
take from them the fair rewards of their
labor. Their influence, to be felt, must be
exerted as one man the latent power is in
their hands, and if it can be welded, they
have remedy for wrongs. "...'.
We know of no better way to accomp-
lish such a result than through the organ
i2ation of Farmers Clubs.

Improving Farms.

1t is O great mistake to suppose that
money spent in reasonably improving the
appearance of place Ia thrown away 1t
may be doubted whether there is any
more direct method of increasing its pc
cunisry value. Certainly its market value
will depend very much upon its outward
appearance. Tasteful and well painted
buildings, well arranged yards and gar
dens with neat fences, shade trees proper
ly disposed, good farm fences and clearly
Kept fields, win set of q farm to good adj
vantage and make an amazing difference
when it comes to be sold. And even il it
be not sold, these things will add amaz-
ingly TO the enjoyment of it by its possess
or, IL he be not blind to everything but the
| dollar. H..
Every man, too, owes it to the commu-
nifty in which he is living, TO general rep
utation and to public enjoyment, by max
| ing all his surroundings as attractive as
possible. There is such thing as paying
| too much attention to the outside and to
| show but there is reason in all things
| and measure of time and attention and
| expense should be devoted by every one to
make his farm and his home more and
more attractive every year that he lives

Remedy For and Preventive of Chicken
Cholera,

REMEDY.--We are informed by relia-
bic gentleman and his lady, who are great
chicken raisers and very successful at the
business, judging from the great numbers
of chickens / saw on their premises, that
ground and pulyerised black pepper and
table salt are an effectual remedy for the
disease called the chicken cholera. The
two articles are to be mixed together in
about equal quantities and given to the
diseased chickens in teaspoonful doses,
mixed with little water, putting it into
their mouths and forcing them to swallow
it the dose to be repeated as the occasion
may require, until they are relieved. BY
noticing them we'll 1t is easy to see when
they have it.
PREvENTIvE.-The same persons told
me that a good preventive was to keep as
safptida in their water troughs, crumbled
up so as to tincture the water well, and
prevent them from eating it, as they will
eat all they can get. 1t is very probable
that the cloves or bulbs of garlic, well
bruised and put in their water, would have
the same effect, from its resemblance in
smell, flavor and effects to assafetida. The
same remedy is no doubt as good for tur-
keys and for other fowls as for Chickens

Pruning Fruit Trees.

\ correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says he prunes his young trees the
first year pretty close, and the second year
freely but not as close as at the first sea-
son.
He gives his ideas in this way:
II these trees were not pruned at all, las
some would-be authorities ON fruit culture
advise they would soon become the most
ungainly. disappearing things imaginable.
Instead Of the fruit being produced on the
strong, lower branches, which are able to
sustain the weight, it would be on the tall,
slender twigs. and it wonld SWAY abont
until blown Off before half mature. BY
judicious pruning, We can build up tree
into almost any desirable form, and make
it produce its fruit just where it will be
the most convenient for gathering, and be
certain it will not be blown off before ma
turity. The natural tendency of most va
rieties of pear trees is upward; but wide
spreading, open head is the most desirable
form for producing q large crop of fine
fruit; therefore, we must prune to correct
natural defects.

LEACHED WOOD ASHES" Ny opin-
ion of soapers' ashes" says an English
farmer, I" is confined to the application of
it as top-dressing OH pasture land. About
twelve years ago agreed with soap
boiler for 1880 tons of soapers' ashes.
used to apply about twenty wagon loads
per acre, and a single bushing would let
the whole in. was laughed ut and abus-
ed for my folly the wise ones alleging
that my lands would be burned up for
years, and totally ruined all of which
disregarded, and applied my soapers' ashes
every day in the year, reelIing from the
vat, without any mixture whatever. J
tried six acres mixed up with earth but
found it only done things by halves. My
land never burned but from the time of
the application became dark green color,
bordering upon black; and has given me
more, but never less, than two tons per
acre ever since.

Soil for tine Petato.

Almost any well drained soil will do. A
clay loan Is probably the best, II is the
best as IL Is cool and moist, two character
isties which the potato requires, and which
are not so readily obtainable with sand or
gravel. But the land wants to be mellow,
and deeply mellow this to secure the one
quality, moisture, which, in our droughty
summers, is generally found lacking it
must not lack with the potato. Hence
deep culture, aud when the soil Is in con-
dition to make it most mellow, the state
between the dry and wet, always avoiding
the wet the dry not important in the fall
so that the land can be well plowed. And
the fall is the time, and good at that The
soil must be re-plowed with the first
chance in the spring it cannot be done
too early, providing It is dry enough and
the soil is well rotted, which it win be if
the blowing has been done early enough
in the fall. This is important, this early
work, so as to give chance for early plant
ing, for it should be understood, if it is
not, that the potato cannot be planted too
early. With the first mellow soil this
should be done. Plow not only, but cult
waite aud harrow, so as to get the soil u
powdery mellow, which the rotten turf
will favor. - ........

Docs VS.. SHEEP.-Official reports shows
in Ohio, an annual loss of So, 900, 900 in
sheep killed 10y dogs, and nearly Sl,000,-
600 in wool-a loss equivalent to 6,00O,0O0
pounds tof wool, or tax of two per cent.
upen the total sum invested in sheep, III
that State. 1t is said that in two years,
from 1868 TO 1870, Illinois sank from the
sixth TO the ninth rank among the States
in the number and value of its sheep, and
this great falling off is attributed to a pro-
portionate increase in the number of dogs,
and the lack of proper legislation to pre-
vent their ravages among the sheep. The
Legislature Of Maryland is considering
this subject. The returns from five coun-
ties of that State, show over 100 sheep
killed in one year by dogs.

SHALL WE TAX DOGS OR SHEEP I,

The rapid increase in the price of wool
has given increased interest to the business
of wool growing. We hear of heavy wool
facilities for sheep raising in East Tennes-
see. If our County Courts will take the
proper steps to encourage and protect this
great interest, we will soon feel the bene-
fits certain to flow from an increased pro-
duction of wool. The question the courts
must consider is very plain one. Shall
we raise dogs or sheep? Shall we tax dogs,
relieve our farmers and citizens generally
from q great nuisance and thereby protect
our wool producers; or shall we levy a
heavy tax on sheep owners, by encourag-
ing every body to raise Il pack of worth
less ours, good for nothing but to destroy
property? ..
We say that the issue presented to our
County Courts is either to tax dogs or tax
wool growers, Some figures will bear us
out in this statement. Ohio loses annually
three millions of dollars worth ofsheepkill-
eddy dogs. This is equal to a tax oftlo0 per
cent. upon the wool interests of that great
State. In Illinois aud Maryland, where
statistics have been compiled on the same
subject, similar losses are shown. =
East Tennessee, we think, offers pecu-
liar inducements for wool growing. We
can by wise legislation promotSy this in
terest to one of the most remuleratiye in
the State. The first step in this direction
is a tax upon dogs and we hope our Coun-
ty Courts, at their coming April term, will
impose it. Farmers who need good dog
can better pay a reasonable tax on it than
to be taxed three times the sum on the
wool they produce or consume. Every
family that uses wooden goods pays tax
upon the worthless dogs that wage so de-
structive war upon sheep. 1t is to their
interest, therefore, to see that this tax is
removed from wool growers to the owners
of dogs. Let every farmer and citizen
urge upon his district Magistrate the JUS
tice and necessity of this tax. If they will
do it, the different County Courts to meet
next month will be sure to take a step
in which farmers are most to be bene-
fitted.

REGULARITY IN FEEDING SToCK.-The
Mirror and Farmer mentions the case o
q neighbor who last winter stall fed IA yoke
of oxen, and which, after consuming
1900 pounds Of corn meal and all the good
hay they wanted, were found to have gain
ell Just twenty pounds. Allusion is also
made to other farmers whose success was
more satisfactory, and ono of the chief rea-
sons of this is the fact that they fed regu-
larry. This is matter of more impor-
lance than may at first appear. 1t has
been said that the appetite of cow or
sheep is perfect chronometer. They
comes restless and uneasy if the feeding
does not proceed as usual. This restless
ness is unfavorable TO thrift. Absolute
quiet and contentment are essential to the
most rapid growth.

AMONG THE FRUIT-BEARERs.-Plo

ground is in suitable condition, and then
harrow and plow the manure under.
Scraping the trees and washing them with
soft-soap Is q good thing on mild day.
Planting Of course cannot be done until
the season Is further advanced, but coins
may lie cut, taking care TO do it when the
tree is not frozen and before the buds start.
II not needed 1t once, store the cuts in
moss, saw dust or sand. GrGpe-rines may
be pruned in March, unless actually fro
zen. The work ought TO have been done
last fall but If it remains undone, do ii
now. Currants, and nearly all the berries
may be planted as soon as the weather is
favorable.

To COVER A STEEP BANK WITH GRASS.
A German method is: For each square
rod to be planted, take half pound of
lawn grass seed, and mix it intimately and
thoroughly with about six cubic feet of
good dry garden earth and loan. This is
placed in a tub and to it liquid manure,
diluted with about two-thirds of water, is
added and well stirred in, so as to bring
the whole 10 the consistency of mortar.
The slope is to be cleaned off and made
perfectly smooth and then we'll watered,
after which the paste just mentioned is to
be applied with a trowel and made as even
and thin as possible. Should it crack by
exposure to the air, it is to be again water
ed and smoothed up, day by day, until the
grass makes its appearance, which will be
in from eight to fourteen days, and the
whole declivity will soon be covered by a
close carpet of green.
