a Protest Against an Extension OF the
session Of the Legislature.


MARSHALL County, Feb. IS, 1870.
Editors Uf EnlellEgrnpCr.
What will ourlcgislators do? Will they
adjourn at the close of the forty-iive days
or will the session DO extended? These
are questions that arc boing asked, and
very anxiously asked, Just now by the
constituents Of those who for forty-two
days have now been laboring hard
to bring forth some laws Of a whole.
some nature, TO free our commonwealth
Of the ills with which VIC arc afflicted
We all felt that VIC were forced TO endure
the expense OF the regular session because
it was law, but We 10 protest against an
extension OF tho session. We do SO from
tho tart that The expense will far exceed
the profit. It Is costing the State $500 rer
day. This will give us an additional
$4,000 in tho shape OF taxes II The session
Is extended twenty days, as Is proposed
by some who think that important Iegis.
latlon is so pressing upon them that t6oy
cannot 80 home to their constituents with
u clear conscience unless certain billsiare
passed. Let me tell these members that
tlieir constituents will DO far more ant to
return them again liz that is what they
wIsll II they adjourn now and 70 homo.
lsetrenpllment and r0iorm arc getting to
be almost obsolete terms In our State. Or
We will at least think SO II this session Of
tho Legislature is extended, Let the
House pass the Judiciary bill, and any
others that arc Of pressing Importance,
aud then, OH Friday next, when the hour
COMES to adjourn let them DO 50, and they
will be thanked by u tax -hurlcned con.
stitncncy. There can hc moro done in
tho last Tow days Of tho session than has
been done during tho entire time before
this u the members will do tlleir thinking
House.
All have certainly had an opportunity
to display what oratorical powers they
possess. and can now afford 10 give Tho
ley remaining hours Of the session 10
solid work. DO It, gentlemen, and YOU
wl!lbc thanked for It, but above all things
adjourn and go home.

can the legislators be kept free from the
undue influence excrtcd for the railroad
corporations by the lavish distribution OF
railroad passes among the lawmakers. 1t
looks very like putting u penalty upon
the railroads in order TO secure the weak
Legislators from the dangers OF temptation.
There certainly is no reason why the
rOaas should dcadllCad tho Lawmakers
which does not apply 10 any
other species Of corporation which
gets its franchise from. the State
and isliebls to lose neutrality-suspicious. By
tho interference ;ot the Legislature Tkt
fact that this law was preferred to one
making It penal OtTensc for companies To
give and legislators to accept the railroad
pAss, shows IN very broad light how In.
tcnsely devoted 10 the free railroad ride
the average Massachusetts legislator is.
The fact OF the matter is, the average legis.
lator, no matter where you tind him, IS d
hard subject to deal with.

BALKY HoRsEs.-A Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals recommends
the following rules for the treatment Of
balky horses:
|. Pat the horse upon the neck, examine
the harness carefully first on one side then
on the other, speaking encouragingly while
doing SO then jump into the wagon and
give the word go; generally he will obey.
.. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him 60 round in
circle. If the first dance Of this kind
doesn't cure him, the second one will be
sure to do it.
8. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off the wind till he wants to 90, and then
let him go.
4. The brains Of horse seem to entertain
but one idea at a time; thus continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve; if you can by any means give him a
new subject to think of, you will have no
trouble in starting him. A simple remedy
is to take a couple of turns of stout twine
around the fore.leg, just below the knee
and tie in bow knot. At the first check
he will 60 dancing off, and, after going {
short distance, you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the tendor
in your further drive.

Coal ASHES AND CURRANT. w oRMs. EARLY
in the spring, that is, before the leaves
start, cut out all old stalks; clean all dirt
and grass from the roots, throw the refuse
away as far as l can with shovel, cover
the roots with fresh dirt, and the dirt with
manure, and the manure with from two to
four inches of coal ashes.
have followed this plan for years, and
when the workmen obey orders am never
troubled with currant.worms. When they
'slight the job get few currant.worms,
otherwise my currants are very fine.
don't mean to advise little pile of coal
ashes close to the bush, but | do advise
that the ashes should be spread all over
the ground as far as the bush will extend.
Every family that uses coal can save
enough ashes for their own bushes, but to
those who have, say, twenty acres of cur.
rants, more or less, l say put on the coal
ashes, if you can get them. Plough under
the old ashes and you kill the eggs. II
may take two or three years to kill all the
eggs, but stick to it and you will conquer

Soil for Ounces.

A subscriber of the New York Herald
writes to that paper to know what kind of
soil is best adapted for ounces, and what
rules are to be observed for its cultivation.
1t says:
"The ounce should be planted in deep
and good soil, kept in constant cultivation,
and should have top dressing of manUre
every season if abundant crops are desired.
1t grows naturally in rather moist soil, by
the side of rivulets and streams of water,
and it is q common idea that it should
always be planted in some damp, neglected
part of the garden, where it usually re-
ceives little care, and for both of these
reason produces only knotty and inferior
fruit No tree is more benefited by
manuring than the ounce. In rich, mel
low, deep soil, even if quite dry, it grows
with thrice its usual vigor, and bears
abundant crops Of large and fair fruit. 1t
requires very little pruning or other care,
an occasional thinning out of crowding or
decaying branches being quite sufficient.
When there is an over crop, thinning the
fruit will improve the size of the remainder.
There are only three varieties worth
enumerating. The apple-shaped ounce is
the most popular. 1t bears large, roundish
fruit, shaped much like the apple; stews
quite tender, and is of excellent flavor. 1t
| also bears abundant crops. The pear
shaped ounce is dryer and of frmer texture
than the foregoing; is rather tougher whe II
stewed or cooked, and has lighter colored
| flesh. 1t is less esteemed than the apple
variety, but ripens fortnight later, and
may be preserved considerably longer in a
raw state. The Portugal ounce is rather
superior to all quality, but not being good
bearer has never been generally cultivated
The flesh turns fine crimson or deep
purple when cooked, and it is therefore
much esteemed for marmalade or baking
The growth Of the tree being very strong
it is preferred by many gardeners for stocks
on which to work the pear"
