Personally we care nothing about the

The Laws of Life" says More

If, according to the Avalanche, the
statistics furnished in the census reports
are to cut the figure in the election OF
1872, it may be refreshing 10 those
backing Andrew to learn that the State
census of 1871 places the colored vote
at 6O,945. The white Radical vote is
estimated at twenty thousand, making
80, 945 votes that Horace Maynard has
statistical claims upon. The "great
and good claims the white Radical
vote for Andy, and will no doubt claim
the entire negro vote ere long. The
Avalanche perpetrates stale jokes with
wonderful humor, but we fear our lively
neighbor trusts too much to his imagin-
alton for facts and to his memory for
witticisms. E

WEEDS. Now is the time to fight the
weeds. Every weed takes, up room that
should be occupied by something else.
Every weed draws sustenance that be.
longs to the growing crops. Take ad-
vantage of all dry, hot days, keep the
horse among the hoed crops, throughly
stirring the soil, to kill weeds. With
horse implements, hoeing by hand may
be nearly dispensed with after stand
is established. Before this, hoeing must
be done so as to nip the weeds in the
seed-leaf, if possible. Soon after corn
begins to grow we'll, the hand hoe must
be entirely dispensed with, for weeds
between the rows will be taken care of
with the cultivators and horse hoes !;
and most of those in the rows will be
killed by the earth thrown upon them.
The few which escape should be pulled
by the hand when the corn is about a
foot high.
Keep the potatoes clear of weeds; it
will make vast difference in the crops.
Thorough work in June will tell all the
rest of the season, and for years to come.
Hoeing and wedding may afford con-
slant employment to men and teams
during most of the month, when the
ground is dry. Stirring wet soil is not
only a detriment, but loss of time. Till
deep before the roots of the plants oc-
cupy the soil, but more shallow after
wards. Toward the close Of the hoeing
season, the effect of running subsoil
plow deeply between the rows of corn,
or between alternate rows of root crops,
is very beneficial.

Bearded Wheat Straw Dangerous TO Stock

Bearded Wheat Straw Dangerous TO Stock.
A Prairie Farmer correspondent
writes st has been discovered that
when stock has had free access to beard.
ed wheat straw, that the boards have
worked around the lips aud gums, caus-
ing swelling, liberation and loosening
of the teeth. A neighber tells me that
he discovered in the fore part of the
Winter his sheep We're not doing well,
and upon examination found their
mouths so much injured from this cause
that he has been unable to bring them
up to good condition since. Another
neighbor lost valuable colt from the
same cause. A farrier was called, in this
instance, as soon as any difficulty was
discovered, but too late. He said he had
the appearance of being choked, but the
owner insisted that the colt had moth
ing but straw, water and sholled corn,
and he did not consider choking possi-
BILE. Upon opening the colt after death
it was found that boards had collected,
forming quite massive ball, near the
entrance to the body, and boards had
worked off into the throat-pipe, causing
Inflammation and liberation to such an
extent as TO cause death. Upon compar-
ing notes, we are satisfied that this has
been a source of much damage to stock,
heretofore unaccountable. Reference is
made-to several cases, where stock has
died OR been damaged, and which now
seems plainly to have been caused by
wheat boards.
