But 1t is said that the system OF proportional

should exist between the Representative and the
constituent. This not true, but it true in any
degree, it is equally applicable to the old syB-
tenn: In all districts where one party has de-
cided preponderance Of party strength, the Caucus
makes the choice OF Representatives. The mi~
no1ty goes to the polls, utterly hopeless of
electlng ITS candidates, and goes through What
practically ls merely an Idle form. But in dis
tr1cts where the people are pretty nearly evenly
divided u sentiment upon State, geuernl, or 10
cal questions, there is struggle for success un-
der both systams. Under the old systeu, it is
struggle to obtain all the Representatives;
under the new, it is only struggle to obtain q
majority of the representatives. Consequently,
the responsibility Ia as great in the one casa:as
in the other, with this additional advantage in
behalf Of the new orer the old, that the weaker
constituencies are enabled to select the men Of
their choice certainly a. free from dictation of
caucus as the majority in districts where it has
. decided preponderance. And they nre FAR
more apt to select able, pure, and qualified legis

THE RIGHTS OF THE VOTER.
~oter is sovereign or inherent integer in
the law-making power OF the State, and
has his rights as voter, as well as d 1aw-mAker;
the constitutional provision in question de-
prives no man OF any privilege which he had un-
der the old Constitution as to how he shall cast
his vote for Representative. Afr. Garfield ia not
obliged to cumulate his vote now; he 1s at per-
feet liberty to give each Of the three candidates
in his district vote, or he may scratch OF one
name and vote for tgo, or erase two and vote for
one, or he may reject them all from his ballot.
He had these privileges under the old Constitu-
ton !: he has them intact under the new. But
the new Constitution has removed certain aIbi-
trarY and wrongful limitations imposed on
the rights OF the Independent roser, and has
enlarged his freedom OF action at the
polls. He is now at liberty to cast his vote to
suit himself. He may distribute 1t among al
the candidates, or concentrate it on one, or di-
vide it equally among two, or give two parts Of
it to one aud the remainder to another, OF he
NAV distribute it as he had a right to do under
the old Constitution He is now free to vote as
he pleases as regards the distribution Of his sut

RESTORATION AND RENOVATION
OF SOILS

In concluding an interesting paper on
this subject before the Wisconsin State Ag-
ricultursl Convention, says the Western
Farmer, Secretary Field gave the following
summary of bis advice to farmers:
l. Make all the manure you can, and ap-
ply all you make In condition best suited
for food for plants and where most needed.
q Cultivate thoroughly, stirring the earth
to great depth; plow, harrow, roll, culti-
yate, subject the sell to repeated changes,
so that, aided by the action of frosts and
rains, it may be so reduced and refined as
to be compelled to yield its supply of food
In such abundance that the annual crops
may feed and fatten upon it like the stall
fed Cx.aEs erarA e. -Fr .r. e
8. Renovate with clover. From observa-
ton and experience, l am convinced that by
an occasional seeding to clover, say once in
five to eight years, as circumstances seem
to require, with rotation of crops, using
all the manure made, with thorough Gull
ture, the most of the lands of Wisconsin
would be in a healthy and highly produc-
tive condition generations hence.
4. II your lands are still being reduced
in fertility, apply the best commercial ma
nures you can obtain. Buy In limited guam
titles and experiment fully, and, If found
successful, purchase again the same brand
and of the same party, if he stands high IN
commercial circles as a man of honesty and
fair dealing.

The State Chemist of Connecticut, in bis
report, presents some interesting informa-
ton Ia Fefsrence 10 the tobacco crop, with
the result Of tests upon the tobacco leaves.
The general summary Of the report Is as
follows:
The most highly valued tobacco in New
England is the thin, tough, elastic leaf
which burns readily to ashes. Those leaves
ccntaining the mcst carbonate of potash IN
their ashes, burn the most freely and suita-
bly,. In some combinations, potash does
not favor the burning, and some tobacco
manufacturers improve the flavor and burn
ing qualify by arti6cially impregDating the
leaf with acetate, citrate or tartrate of pot
ash, applying the latter in solution and then
drying. Chlorine Injuries the tobacco, as
does also niiIie acid. Sulphuric acid,
united with potash, soda, or lime, fayors
the burning Of tobacco. The best tobacco
lie produced on well-drsined, warm, sandy
lands It is believed heavy manuring in
creases the quantity of the crop generally,
at the expense Of quality as regards tex

FITTING COLLARS TO HORSES
SHOULDERS.

1t is very important TO have collar fit
nicely ard snugly to the shoulders Of q
horse. 1t enables him to work With great
deal more ease, and to apply great deal
more strength. It prevents CALLING and
woanding, as the friction is avoided. Col
lars are so made or should be so made, as
to throw the chief force on the lower part of
the shoulder. The horse can apply bat lit
tie strength on the upper part, and, for this
reason, breast collars are coming into vogue.
as the strenFth is exerted on the lower part
of the shoulder, But we started cut to tell
cur readers how to make new collar fit the
shoulder of s horse. The collsr should be
purchased of the proper size. just before
putting it on the first time, immerse it In
water, letting |. remain about minute,
and Immediately put it on the morse. being
careful to have the names so adjusted at the
top and bottom as to fit the shoulder, and
then put the horse to work. The collar,
being wet, VIII adapt itself to the shoulders,
and should dry on the horse.
When taken off it should be left 10 the
same shape 1t occupied on the horse, and
ever after you will have snug-ftting collar
and no wounds Valley Farmer. lA

FARM AND GARDEN.
DOwN EAST COHN.


The author ofthe Ogden Farm Papers 10
the American AgTiculturist, writes: Indian
corn Is the igais fdtttusof eastern agricul-
ture; relic of the days when our ancestors
had 10 grow it st home or 90 without 1t,
habit of the ankee farmer, q rut OF the Old
fogyism which hates to adopt new ways
and to relinquish old ones. l modestly
venture the opinion that not one bushel OF
corn has been grown within five years any
where in New England, New jersey or
eastern New York, that has not cost more
than it came to, that has not been grown at
q positive loss; and think it is time for
men who call themselves practical" to
cast up the account and realize the fact for
themselves. Turn it which way We will
our corn growing is q mistake, and grave
one. 1t seduces us into breaking up grass
land we might better keep good by top
dressing; it consumes labor that we need at
the same season for more important work,
and Il eats into our manure heaps like the
dry rot, Instead OF increasing their value as
the purchase Of western corn surely would
do.n
New England farmers are learning the fol-
ly Of breaking up grass land to raise corn,
unless 1t be in exceptionsble cases. Care
fully conducted experiments have proved
that manure applied to grass pays better
than on corn, unless the farmer turns the
stalk and blade into meat, butter or cheese
as wen as the grain. English farmers and
others who keep horses consume fifty mil
lion bushels of imported corn year. This
returns vast quantity of manure. The
Yankees feed great deal of western corn
in fattening animals, in the dairy business,
and In feeding working stock. There is no
other produce of human industry sold In
Nashville so cheap as corn; ror is there any
other crop that has done SO much directly
and indirectly to denude and guile the soil
Of Tennessee. These facts indicate the
wisdom of raising less of this
staple, and more of others that cost
less labor and bring more money. How to
use land and labor to the best advantage on
any given farm is often q somewhat diff.
cult problem to solve. 1t takes some years
to produce first class meadow or pasture,
and This consumption oftime prevents many
from attempting the enterprise. All should
bear in mind the fact that crops which re-
quire two, three and four years to grow, are
less subject to active competition, and there
fore pay best. Seeding fruit trees that may
be grown for dollsr q hundred, are some
times sold at twenty times that sum, because
few raise them, and years intervene be-
tween the planting Of the seed and the har-
vest In money. There sre orchards that
pay good interest on 8 valuation Of $500 an
acre. 1t is the remoteness of the return for
labor that makes FIRST class orchards so
scarce In the South. Our winter apples
come from the icy North.
