The school term in this county com.

UNSHOD HORS FS

1t has been before stated that an expe
rlenced farrier in England was advocating
the adjustment of horseshoeing and now
a writer in the London Times has been
trying the experiment, and thus reports
When my pony's shoes were worn out /
had them removed, and gave him a
months rest at grass, with an occasional
drive of mile or two on the high road
while his hoofs were hardening. The re-
suit at first seemed doubtful The hoof
was thin shell, and kept chipping away
until it had worked down below the holes
OF the nails by which the shoes had been
fastened. After this the hoof grew thick
and hard, quite unlike what it had been
before l now put the pony to full work,
and he stands it well. He is more surefoot-
ed; his tread is almost noiseless; his hoofs
are in no danger from the rough hand
OF the farrier; and the change altogether
has been clear gain, without anything to
set against it. My pony, I may add, was
between four and five years old-rising
four, fancy, is the correct phrase He
had been regularly shod up to. the present
year." =

A contemporary says: There is no rea-
son why farming may not be made to pay
much oftener than it does. Very few have
learned to regard it as business. 1t is a
sort of chance work all round. Most men
look on it as a sort of real estate transac-
ton. They hope some day to sell out at
a big figure, hence are afraid to improve
their farms with view to agricultural OPP
erations, for fear that whoever buys the
land will not care for these little things
We have often heard some improving far
mer ridiculed for his expenditures by some
knowing ones, who were very sure So
and-so would get no more for his place
than if he had thrown the money in the
dirt
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-07-05

What are we doing within the gates?
Are we striving to make the Grange an
honored success? Do we desire to pro-
mote harmony? Orare we sowing seeds of
discord? Without harmony of action no
Order can prosper. Do we attend every
meeting of our Grange and not suffer lit.
tie hindrances to stand in our wav? And
while there, do we exert ourselves to make
interesting? Itwould soon become mon
otonous if only the regular orderf "si-
ness was attended to. Let us mak .em
a ssfeast of reason and a flow ofSoul."
The Grange SO far has been an educator.
1t was brought to light talents that had
long been buried SO deep that the pillow
could not reach them; but they have been
unearthed, frightened, used, and they
have gained other talents. The diamond
was there in the rough. tits no paste di-
amond, but the real gem; therefore it is ca
pable of rejecting lustre.-INlcAtea1

The Mississippi Stock Breeders'Associa-

The Mississippi Stock Breeders ,Assocla-
ton meets at Okolona on the Sd OF July
The principal business before the Asso-
citation will be the location of permanent
Fair grounds The majority of the mem
bers. as the roll now stands, are citizens of
East Mississippi, in what is known as the
limestone region of the State, reaching
properly from Okolona on the north, and
as far south as Macon.
Since the Association is composed,
however, of members from nearly every
portion of the State, and its object is to
invite cooperation of stock men general
ly throughout the State, and SO make the
organization State and not a District In
stitution, we believe it is but justice to all,
that the establishment of the Fair grounds
be located at the most central and accessi-
BILE point in the State. In our opinion,
Meridian is the proper place. This city
has the advantage of being, not only CEN
trally located, but being likewise the ter
minus and crossing of four different rail
roads. With the Fair grounds at Merid-
ian and special excursion rates upon all
the four railroad lines, ten thousand peo-
pie might be induced to attend the annual
Fairs of the Association. If the Mississ-
ipp Stock Breeders Association intend
the greatest good to the greatest number,
then Meridian is certainly the most avail
able place to accomplish such an end.
We hope no member will, in voting for
| location, allow his local and personal
feelings to outweigh what justice to all,
and the best interest of the Association
as body, would naturally suggest as the
best and most feasible plan Of procedure
in the establishment of a Fair that shall
rebound to the honor and glory of the
State, and win the respect and admira-
ton of progressive agriculturists, and stock
breeders in every portion of the Union.
By locating the Fair at Meridian, we
may hope to give it character and repu-
tation; and to draw together many thous-
and more visitors and larger number OF
exhibitors, than could possibly be achieved
by the selection of any other town or city
in the State.-.SoutAe,u Live Stock Jour

Twelve sets of telephones have been
sent out to Sir Garnet Wolseley for use
at the seat of war in South Africa. The
great advantage of the telephone over
the telegraph is that the General can carry
on confidential talk with the officer at the
district station, or soldier can creep out
towards the enemy's lines and whisper
back the information as to position. A
fine wire-the thinner the better-is all
that is needed. This the soldier carries
upon reel on his back, a mile weigh
only few pounds. This will be the fqst
time the telephone has been used in war
fare
