THE CHECK.REIN,

There can be no doubt in the matter that
a check rein upon draught horse is calcu-
lated to worry and injure the aniuia. more
than all the ordinary labor which be is re-
quired to perform. If a man has heavy
load to push or draw, he lowers his head
by bending forward, and throws the weight
of his body against it, so as to propel the
lOad-so does the horse, under SIMILAR cir
cumstances, if permitted. If the mans
head were tied to a belt around his
body so that he could not bend
forward, he would lose the advantage
of bis weight, and could only pull or push
with his muscles-sO also with the horse.
If the mans head were thus kept in a per-
pendicular position, he could not SO readily
see where to step, and would be more apt
TO stumble-so also with the horse. No
one in the saddle would thus tie up the
head Of his horse, and no one would expect
a horse thus tied up to win a race. Let us
join our voice with that of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
advise the abolishiDg Of the check-reiD, at
least upon all draught horses.

GRAND sUCCESS-FARMER CON.
VENTION.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May %, 1872.-The
success of the convention of farmers of
East Tennessee was signal. It was held on
the 10th, nth and 18th days of this month.
The representation was large one, almost
every county being represented. The gem
tlemen composing it were the very best
farmers of our fruitful section, and enjoyed
the occasion. An excellent feeling pre-
vailed throughout the deliberations, nothing
having occurred to mar the proceedings.
1t was interesting to witness the lively in
terest which was so plainly visible. All the
leading agricultural questions were drawn
out and ably handled by competent persons.
The most important were those referring to
the regeneration of worn out lands, the ne
cessity Of introducing iner races of animals,
the demand for more manure, a wider cul,
ture of the grapes and many other questions
equally as important. l am satisfied that
prodigious impetus will be given to the
noble work of tilling the soil, and loftier
views will prevail. -
This is the first convention Of farmers
ever held in this State. At least that is
my information. This is a singular fact
considering our age. Our section is little
over one hundred years old But it is never
too late to do good. We have effected a
permanent rganization-HOn. q, p. Tenn
pie, President and G. w. Charlton, Secre-
rotary. The next session will be, held in
the city Of Knoxville sometime inths month
Of May, 1873. An immense gathering OF
the farmers is expected at that tims. We

ing evil. his, at the same time, one That
it is apparently impossible to check. The
monotony Of a farmers life, the love of
excitement, the desire for high wages, and
the pleasures and temptations Of the city
combine to bring about this result. Alter
all, it is very natural one; and Horace
Greeley may advise young men to go
West and buy a farm" and good people
may preach for ever; the attractions of
the city viii remain the same, and the drift
of labor away from the farm and the coun-
Try, win continue as strong as before.
The experiences Of other countries is SINH
Iar to our own. In Great Britain, be-
tween 1851 and is4l, the agricultural class
fell off p per cent, whilst the number en-
gagged in mechanical industries and bust
ness pursuits in the towns, rose about 46
per cent. The movement of population in
France, also, is in the direction of the
cities. In view Of these facts, very true
and well considered article in a Northern
paper, headed, GA Warning to Young Men,"
and based upon letter from a man Of
''5wenty years experience in business, and
Of unimpeaehable character and sound
health; who, with his family, shardly sees
his way to his daily bread" win probably
do no good. Our contempory remarks:
ave have little doubt that the common
faults of our young men have brought our
correspondent, with thousands like him, to
his present unfortunate condition. They
spend on a small income as If they had
large one. There is no habit of economy
with them. They forget that few dollars
saved every year will soon form fund to
keep the wolf out of the door. They have
a contempt for petty savings. They eat
their cake while they are young, and ex-
peet to have it when they are old. Their
cigars, and sappers, and dress, and excur-
sions take what would have sheltered them
in a rainy day, and then they blame Provi-
dence, or society in general. Before their
income is assured, they marry, and their
wives have the same habits. Silks and sat~
ms, carpets and pianos, soon eat away each
years surplus. With children, expenses
increase, and no savings are behindhand.
At length, some chance throws them out of
employment, and they stand with hunger
and beggary staring them in the face"
All lower mercantile positions are too
much crowded already. TIE competition
is intense and without Influential friends,
or some profitable talents, young man
fresh from the country stands but a poor
chance Of success, whether it be in New
York, Chicago, st. Louis or elsewhere.

THINNING FRTIT.

Hon. Marshall ?. Wilder, in his address
before the American Pathological ConVen-
ton at Richmond, Va, stated:
E"This is a lesson which we have learned,
and the necessity of which we have often
endeavOTed to impress upon cultivatoTs,
and Thich every successive season teaches
with stronger emphasis. 1t is absolutely
necessary for all who send fruit to market
to send large fruit, and the markets are
constantly and progressively requiring large
fine fruit. Even the Seckel pear, which once
commanded in Boston market the highest
price, viii not now, unless of extra size,
sell for any more if as much, as common
varieties Of larger size. A medium sized
fruit, or even one of smaller size may he
more economical for use, but until some de-
cided change in the preferences of the ma
jority of purchasers shall take place, large
fruit viii sell better than small.
"Te produce this the fruit must not only
have good cultivation but must be thinned,
and we agree with Mr.. Meehan that one
half the trees which bear fruit every year
would be benefited by having one-half of
the fruit taken off as soon as it is wellsset,
aud that the overbearing Of a tree will in a
few wears destroy it." We may lay it
down as a certain rule, that excessive pro-
duction is at the expense of both quantity
and quality; if not in the same season then
in succeeding ones, for when branch is con-
tending with branch, leaf with leaf, and fruit
with fruit, for its supply Of light and food,
it would be indeed an anomaly in nature if
this should not result in permanent injury
TO the trees as well as to the annual CROP

WHY THE FARMING POPULATION
DIkIINISHES,

DR.. Holland writes in the June number
of ScrlJner's Monthg
ThYe is some reason for the general dis
position of American men and women to
shun agricultural pursuits which the obser-
vers and philosophers have been slow to find.
We see young men pushing everywhere into
trade, into mechanical pursuits, into the
learned professions, into Insignificant clerk
Ships, iAto salaried positions Ofsevery sort
that will take them into towns and support
and hold them there. We find il imposSi-
BILE to drive poor people from the cities with
the threat of starvation, or TO coax them
with the promise of better pay and cheaper
fare. There they stay, and starve, and
and sink. Young women resort to
the shops and the factories rather than take
service in farmers houses, where they are
received as members Of the family; and
when they marry, they seek an alliance,
when practicable, with mechanics and
tradesmen who live in villages and
large towns. The daughters Of the farmer
fly the farm at the first opportunity. The
towns grow larger all the time, and, in New
England at least, the farms are becoming
wider and longer, the farming population
is diminished in numbers, and, in some
localities, degraded in quality and character.
has very little significance to social being,
The sociallife of the village and the city has
intense fascination to the lonely jewellers
on the farm, or to a great multitude of them.
Especially is this the case with the young.
The youth Of both sexes who have seen
Iothing Of the world, have an Overwhelm-
inc desire TO meet and TO be among the
multitude. They feel their life to be mar
row in lis opportunities and IFS rewards
but the pulsatiOns Of the great social heart
that comes to them in rushing trains and
passing steamers, and daily newspapers,
damp with the news of a hundred brows,
thrill them with lonsings for the places
where the rhythmic throb is felt and heard
They are not o be blamed for this. 1t is
the most natural thing in the world. If all
of life were labor-ift the great object of life
were the scraping together of few dollars
more or less-why, isolation without divers
ion would be economy and proit;bUt so long
as the object of life is life, and the best and
purest and happieSt that can come of il, all
needless isolation is a crime against the soul,
in that it is a surrender and sacrifice of no
bic opportunities"
The steady absorption, by our cities and
towns, Of so large a proportion Of the
country population, is undoubtedly grow
