Farming Extraordinary.

The career OF u T.. Sulivant. one of the
baronial farmers Of Illinois. who died las,
week. furnishes another lesson on the folly
Of what is called big farming. Mr. Sulli-
want was ut enc time the largest farmer in
Illinois. lie owned 1900 acres of land.
or tract nearly eight miles square. Dur
ing the period when the prices for farm
produce were high. he was prosperous. or
thought he was. but when prices tell. he
imagined prosperity began to vanish. and
he had to resort to that practice So fatal to
farmers of borrowing money at a high rate
OF interest. on his lands. lie had every
condition thought to be necessary TO sue
cessfHl farming on IN extensive scale-ricl,
prairie land. ample machinery and conve-
nient market: but all This could not save
HIM from failure and he died almost penni-
less. and without owning one acre of the
vast domain he once possessed.-St. Louis
Republican.

hope that the day will some time come
when our Congress will be made lIp more
largely from the agricultural class. tor the.
larger the percentage of representation
herein by persons engaged in practical ag-
ric,,iur the more liberal will be the poll

Why farmers are thus set aside and do not
cause farmers are satisfied with giving to
their children only interior education. when
1t is apparent that Of all youths of the land
they should receive the most careful train

derstand and defend his right Of property

because his class-being the largest and

Rev. W. II. H. Murray. who Is hgl
authority in regard to horses. gives. in tn,
Golden Rule. the following directions TO
educating. or. as it used to be called
'breaking" colts:
IF you have a colt TO teach. and hav,
the habit Of speaking sharply and loudly
correct yourself OF it at once. Colts arc
timid, high-spirited things. if they are
worth anything. and he who manages
them should be of quiet habits. and have a
low, pleasant-toned voice. The trainer
that yells, stands in the same category as
the driver in the public race who screams
and whoops like ConancIe Indian when
coming down the hOme-stretch the one
should be banished from the track. and the
other turned ont of the gentleman's sta
bles. Our method of educating a colt TO
the harness and wagon is to educate him
singly. by himself: and this education
should begin very early. When the colt
is twelve or fourteen months old begin TO
put the harness on him. In few weeks
he is accustomed TO it and ready for the
shafts. But. in doing this do not be in a
hurry. Give the youngsters time to get
thoroughly acquainted with every strap
and buckle. as it were. Let him see every
thing and smell everything. The senses
of sight. smell and touch are the great
avenues of Knowledge to The horse. espe-
cially the sist wo. The ear and eye give
the alarm. These two organs stand. as it |
were. IN picket for the animals safety. |
But if your horse is frightened at any
thing let him smell and touch it,. and he
will fear no longer. II your colt is afraid
of the harness as ii comes rlIsilny out OF
the harness room. let him touch it with
his nose. and smell Of il a few times. and
he will soon understand that if will not
hurt him. Ii he is inclined to kick or
jump. il the brceching-hand or any strap
hits his hams or legs. by gently rubbing
them against the sensitive places he will
soon become Indifferent to them. BY the
lime the colt is two years of age. or even
less, he should be educated to 90 between
the shafts. either forward or backward.
