Franklin county is one Of the counties
exempted from the operations of the Game
Law. We have doubts rs to the propricty
ofsnch% exemption. But one thing we are
certain of: The wholesale robbery OF the
mocking-bird nests is a shame. CupiJity
is leading whites and blacks alike to hunt
up the nests ofLhis innocent, inscctivorous
songstcr in order to rob them and sell
their young for u price. Very soon, we
fear, the mockinG-blrd notes, that delight
us now from rosy morn to d@wy eve, and
even at milnight's Silly hour, will be
heard no more in his native and natural
condition. We hereby enter our plea for
the m~Ocking-bird.

Flowing.

The editor ofthe Practical Farmer
has the following common-sense re-
marks on this subject:
Teams drawing loads on the roads
get breathing spell on the descend
ing ground, while in blowing the
draft is the same from morning till
night. There is a certain number of
pounds chat team can draw day af-
ter day and not worry them, but if
more be added, even as little as ff-
teen or twenty pounds, they walk un-
steady fret and soon tire. No
amount of feeding will keep them in
condition. l have many plows in
use on which it has been an easy
matter to decrease the draft twenty
five pounds, and if men had been
drawing them instead Of horses it
would have been done. 1t must e
plain to the farmer that every pound
taken off from the draft of his pillow
is so much gained for his horses. 1t
may be done in THIS way:
For any soil except sand or gravel,
nse a steel plow. Their cost is but
little more, and the draft enough less
to pay the difference in blowing
twenty acres. In blowing sod the
coulter does great deal of the work,
and should be kept sharp by forging
at the blaeksmith's and grinding ev-
cry day if necessary. OF course it
will wear ont sooner, but new coulters
are cheaper than new teams. Set the
coulter in line with the pillow, the
edge square in front, with an angle
of 40 degrees from the point to where
it is attached to the beam. When
the share gets worn out it is a poor
economy to use it any longer, but
replace it with new one. Let the
traces be as short as will allow the
horses to walk without hitting theil
heels against the whiffltrees and have
just pressure enough of the wheels
on the ground to make the p!ow run
steady. If the handles crowd con
tinually on the way, the draft is not
right, and if the pillow is good ont
it can be easily remedied at the clev
is. TO prevent the horses stepping
over the traces in turning, fasten :
weight of about three fourths of 6
pound on the outside Of each single
tree--that is, on the right end whel
you turn to the left, and rice versa
Every farmer knows that horses arr
susceptible to kindness, and equally
so to unkindness. I have seen hor
SEES that were working steadily made

| Let your horses do their work as yol
do yours, as easily as possible, ant
be as willing to overlook their mis-
takes as You would the mistakes 0
