nEg- Dairymen from several Northern States
write the New York Tribune simple method
of preventing a milch COW from kicking, to
wit: Pass rope, cord, strap or surcingle
tightly around her body, just in front of the
udder and hips, take your pail in hand and
90 to work. "Suke will never lift foot"
Let up on the bandage gradually at each
milking and after awhile it need be only laid
across her back to prevent her kicking.

PLow1NG WET So1L-Hardly any prac-
tce on the farm is more to be deprecated than
plowing or stirring the soil in the spring when
wet. This is one of the small operations, af-
fecting oftimes a whole crop, and lasting in
iuriously through whole season. Unless in
a sandy soil stirring or moving by spade,
plow or harrow when wet tends to compress
and compact its particles, when the object is
or ought to be to pulverize and make mellow.
"Good tillage is manure" and stirring OF wet
soil is only allowable in brick yard. No i'm
plement, that we know of, is capable Of again
opening Jumps of earth to atmospheric action
and influences after they have once closed up
by compression and become externally har-
dened. Any one can observe this by mould
ing lump of damp earth in his hand, when
it becomes the consistency Of putty. When
exposed to the air it becomes nearly as hard
as stone.-Scientjfc american.

SOUTHERN ANTE-BELLUM POLICIES.
life insurance companies which did large
business at the South before the war, find that
the recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court on the forfeiture question is of
Immediate practical Importance to them as
we'll as of great significance to the business
generally. This decision, it will be remem.
bered, was to the effect that, where the pay
ment of premiums was rendered impossible,
by the breaking out of the rebellion, the as.
sured can recover from the company the
amount of reserve at the time when this first
payment became due and was not paid, to-
gether with interest. Demands upon compa-
nies for the payment of these reserves and in
terest have become alarmingly numerous in
the South since this decision. None of them
are now resisted, and in the aggregate, a very
considerable amount of money will thus be
disbursed. At the outbreak of the war insu-
rance companies having Southern risks con-
graduated themselves upon their good fortune
in having the reserves on those risks thus sud-
denly released to them, and all of them ap-
propriated the money, without dreaming that
they would ever be called upon to return it.
Of course, in laage number, probably in a
majority, of the cases of insurance no demand
will ever be made upon the companies for a
return of the reserves. If the policy-holder
died subsequent to his unavoidable failure to
pay his premium, his heirs s.at-law, and not the
beneficiary named in the policy, can recover
the reserve and interest. Southern papers
would confer a benefit upon many old policy
holders or heirs of deceased policy.holders,
throughout their section, who may not have
heard of the decision, by informing them of
the above facts.

THE PALMETTO FLAG.

THE PALMETTO FLAG.
BY WHO.
'Tis tn Palmetto Flag we hail 1t again.
In triumph TO float o'er tn land and tn main,
As |, first flew DER our fathers of yore,
And thus may II fly till time is no more!
For no prouder flag has yet ever hung
Above the green earth, or meath the bright sun,
Than the Palmetto Flag o'er the sons other brave,
At home or abroad, on the land or the wave!
,Tis the brave old Flag our fathers once bore
To victories grand, on and on shore,
And Oft meath It's folds, as brothers they've stood,
And earnestly vowed to each other and God,
Neverto yield TO a tyrant or foe,
While the Palmetto Flag should over them flow;
But stand up like inen and pour out their blood,
And fight on till freed from despots abroad!
'Tis grand old Flag, and wherever 1t goes,
1t has freemen for friends and tyrants for foes
Foes to the Union, Constitution and Laws
To justice, virtue and humanitv's cause!
Yet has our Flag been ever upbome
mid rapine and bloodshed, fire and storm,
And tho by vast numbers Oft sorely oppressed,
Thank God ii has never yet traed in the dust
Let fanatics howl and deride as they may,
But the Palmetto Flag, our insignia to-day,
Floats high without spot or bemsh its folds,
Upheld by brave hearts and liberal souls,
Who'r true TO the Union and true to the States,
Welded in love TO live as hepmates-
Just as the great biows roll over the sea-
Forever as one, yet all of thcmfree!
Then up with our Flag still higher to view,
That's sprung, like the phenix, from her ashes anew,
And the black and the white, the brave and the true
viii e'er rally round 1t, as freemen should do!
And here, where so many have suf' red and died,
Wei! keep it afoat, whatever betide
With HAMPTON TO lead our fire-tried men
Wen soon see our State made prosp'rous again!
For the Palmetto Flag has ne'er proveda shield
To robbers and thieves, In campor the field;
No matter how fierce or bitter the strife
We've ever held honor far dearer than lfe
And greatly wronged, as our Flags often been
By the ambitious and sorddly mean,
Yet 1t still shines, as 1t shone In its youth,
The symbol of virtue and emblem Of truth
The Palmetto Flag hoist 1t up we are free
And, trusting in God, hope ever to be;
And now If one fail to act well his part,
May acurse fall upon him and wither his heart;
And honest men hiss him with every breath
Till the vile creature is chased 10 his death;
For only the good we'd have here remain ~
Who'll work for the State, her glory and fame!
For the Palmetto State 1t must be reclaimed,
Till no other spot on earth can be named .. =
A brighter or better, to which we may roam 2
Or patriot exles more joyfuly come! -
Nor till we've made 1t just what 1t should be-
A fit home for th' noble, gallant and free
Where every part Is with bright beauty crowned,
Will we rest until thai goal shall be found

A LIFE INSURANCE AGENT.

He was a life insurance agent, and walked
into this Office with that air composed in
equal parts of selfcomplacency and brass,
which all of them wear when on the track of
a victim. "Our company" he remarked, "is
the only reliable one in the United States.
It's charter is 80 framed that it cannot burst.
1t is purely mutual, and in nine hundred and
seventy-seven years by the watch the assured
is paid large annual salary by the company
for the privilege of carrying policy on his
life. Only think, my dear sir, if you, the
natural protector of that dear wife and of
those angelic children, should be taken away,
they might be forced, like many others, to beg
from door to door" He was just getting
warmed up to the pathos appropriate to the
occasion, when we inquired, "What salary is
paid the president of your company 7" "On:
ly sixty thousand dollars, a mere pittance." "
"And the vice-president ?" twenty-five
thousand dollars, an insignificant trife. "
"Your secretary receives, believe" "On.
ly eighteen thousand" "And the actuary?''
Twelve thousand dollars" "The medical
drector?" "Ten thousand dollars" ut is
evident" we remarked, "that something
should be done to relieve these men from the
load of poverty under which they are stag
gering. At such salaries, they certainly lack
the very necessities of life, and on mature re-
Election we must refuse to extend our patron
age to company which does not pay its Of:
fcers at least living salaries. The laborer is
worthy of his hire, and purely mutual COM
panies which have cash balance after pay
ing their officers are not worthy of confidence,
and must not expect any encouragement in
this office" The agent looked thoughtful as
he left the office, and we hope that these few
words, of which we were the humble instru-
ment, may be the means of righting great
wrong.-C Chicago Saturday Evening Herald.
A LEGAL DEcIs1oN.-They tell good
story in North Carolina of the way one of the
colored magistrates decides cases which come
before him. Soon after the war the custom
was for the white men who owned the land
and the mules to lease them to the colored
men, and receive therefor one-half the crop.
Such bargain was made, but before the crop
was grown the colored man died. His widow
and children went on with the farm, and when
the crop was gathered the white man went
down to get his share But the woman re.
pudiated the contract, and claimed the whole
of the crop.
The case was brought before colored mag
istrate, who, having heard the woman's story,
that she raised the crop, promptly decided in
her favor. The white man put in his objec-
tions, and urged that the land and mules
were his, and half the crop belonged to him.
The old magistrate, who could not read and
was good specimen of North Carolina ne.
gro, pondered the case for moment, and
then issued his "rescript" in the following
words: "De earth am de Lords and de full.
ness thereof-de crops belong to de woman,
and it was with great difficulty that the de-
cision was reversed and the white man got
his dues.
