A Knee-Spruny Horse.

J. J. W., Lander, Penn, writes te
First have heavy business horse, the
value of which is somewhat impaired by
being what is usually called knee-sprung.
What can be done?
iSecOnd-A fine mare has the habit of
switching her tail, and frequently getting
the line fast under her tail and holding it,
to the great annoyance of the driver. Can
this habit be broken up or avoided by re-
sorting to the operation usually termed
nicking, and if so will youexplain the pro-
cess iaftF-Ft 5.i.s lol sHi.H -'f
ANSWER. horse of cold blood
becomes knee-sprung it must be regarded
as case very likely to become gradually
the Good-enough horse shoe, and to have
it applied in truly scientific manner.
That will be to shorten the toes, to rasp
down the heels, to open the back of the
hOof, SO as to allow the frog to strike the
ground at every football of the animal.
This mode of shoeing will greatly decrease
the conclusion on the wall of the hoof, and
also will sensibly relieve the back tendons,
thereby causing less wear and tear of the
fOrelegs. AS to the much-to-be-valued
Switching i'm your mares tail nothing can
be done to prevent it, The habit is GER
tain indication of a vigorous constitution
and of strong back. When you drive
her, hold your reins steadily in your left
hand, and if she gets her tail over them,
slack on strain, speak gently and encOur-
agingly to the animal, and free the reins
with your right hand. Nicking is a bar
barous operation, which frequently termi-
mates in lockjaw, even when the missions
have healed, and the animal has, to all ap.
pearance, quite recovered.

TINE METHODIST UNIVERSITY.
Does Knoxville Want IL.

On Monday evening the Board of Trade
meets to hear reports from the committee
soliciting subscriptions for the Central
Methodist University. The committee on
the selection of site will also report. We
regret that the people of Knoxville have
taken no more interest in this enterprise,
fraught, as we believe with so much benefit
to the community, provided the location
could be secured here. 1t is, in our opin-
ion worth hundreds of thousands to any
community where it is located. The Board
of Trade started out well by proposing to
subscribe fifty thousand dollars to the insti-
tuition, and for time the interest appear
ed to be universal, and it seemed as if the
amount would be raised. Some gentle
men who control capital, and who have
the welfare of the city at heart,
have worked with commendable zeal to
put the ball in motion and secure the prize,
But their efforts have not been seconded
by men who have capital, as we hoped
they would be. Some persons have mani
tested no interest, while others, animated
by narrow prejudice, have covertly OPP
posed the scheme. We are glad to know
that this last class is very small one.
Other localities have gone into this mat
ter with zeal that means business,
and it looks now as if New
Market, which is but village, will out
strip Knoxville in bidding for the institu-
ton.
On Wednesday the committee on loca-
ton meets here, and will probably decide
where the university will be located. We
sincerely trust that our people will yet
wake up on the subject, and realize their
opportunity. Let there be full turn out
of those favoring the location here, at the
Board of Trade Rooms tO-morrOwevening

Garden GleaningS.

Carbolic soap and water is recommended
to destroy mildew on roses, to be applied
by sprinkling.
A correspondent of the Gardeners
Chronicle says that he has found gas-tar
water, diluted to the color of weak coffee,
to be the best preventive to the ravages of
slugs on all garden crops, and also an ex-
cellent manure, applying it by night from
an ordinary watering pot, and half the
slugs will be killed, and the rest much
weakened. A second dose, after the inter-
val of a week, is generally sufficient to
Danish them altogether. r--r -a-1

Sailing Butter.

A paragraph in the Bucks County, Pa,
Agricultural Society's report ON the above
subject, is suggestive: ~
A short essay by Miss Kate Craven, of
Newtown, was read, in response to the
question, "Can butter be PACKED to adj
vantage in June or July for winter?" Miss
Craven was decidedly in favor of packing
butter in early summer, when the price is
properly put up then it can not be sur
passed. It must he fresh and good, or it
will not keep we'll. Her receipt is: for
twenty pounds of butter, take one and a
fourth pounds of salt, one ounce pulverized
saltpeter, and small quantity of white
sugar, which should be worked into the
butter, and left over night. Next day work
again, make into Jumps, put into stone
vessel and cover with brine strong enough
to bear an egg. Lay bag filed with salt
in the vessel, and replenish when empty.
Do not remove the butter long before it is
needed.

CROP PROSPECTS.
GIennings from Our Exchanges.

On the morning of the 26th ult., this
section was visited by killing frost,
which closed out the peach, cherry, grape
and pear crops, killing the beans, Irish po-
tato tops, and all other tender vegetation.
We hardly think the wheat crop was for
ward enough to be injured by the frost.
Some of our farmers say that the drought
of the past three weeks has cut short the
oat and hay crops considerably. The out
look at present, for good crops, is anything
but flattering. The result of our Observa-
tons leads us to the belief that the yield
this season will fall far below an average
crop. While occasionally good field may
be seen, the great bulk of it is too thin
upon the ground, and it has sickly and
unthrifty appearance. We are of opinion
that not more than half crop will be
made in this portion of the State.-Cteue-
land Banner.
This section was visited by another
heavy frost last Friday night. Ice formed
citation is considerable. The young fruit
peaches and apples-was entirely cooked.
The frost, we learn, was general and equal
ly severe throughout East Tennessee. TAX
ing McMinn county as an average fruit
producing county, the loss in this division
of the State alone will fall but fraction
below 81, 0OO, OOO.-Athens Post. Z.
A correspondent of the Bristol Courier,
writing from Blountville says: LAST week
I reported the prospect good for fine crop
of peaches but from later information re-
ceived from Jack Frost, who is a very re-
liable gentleman, / take it all back. There
will be but very little in Sullivan county"
The same paper says: Capt. Jack, not
the MOdoc who assassinated Gen. Candy,
but sir-named Frost, visited this section
last Saturday morning, and cut the pros
poets for fruit crop short. Apples,
peaches, cherries, pears, are all generally
gone up. There may be some exceptions,
but they are few and far between. Corn
and Potatoes, where they were up, were cut
down to the ground. We have heard of
no injury to the growing wheat-presume
it was not far enough advanced to be dam
aged.
Our farmers are the great sufferers in
East Tennessee. The late season has great
ly retarded their farming operations, while
the growing crops have been materially in
jured 10y the frOst.-JOnesbOro' Flag.
The frost, last Friday night, killed near
ly all the fruit in this section, which will
be a loss of at least fifty thousand dollars
to the citizens of the county, besides the
many luXuries that are prepared every
good fruit year for home consumption
Herald and Iribnne.
While the reports of damage done by
frost are certainly discouraging, yet we are
still hopeful that they will not turn out as
disastrOusly as is now feared. u dcg --.lr
