Care OF Horses.

The improved machinery of the pres
ent day, says the Western Stock Jour
nal, has taken much labor from the man
and put it on the horse hence the
owner should see to it that the horse
has the best care. Give each horse a
pail of water before feeding in the morn
ing; large drafts of water taken after a
hearty meal are injurious Do not feed
dry corn exclusively, because it is the
handiest, but have change of feed.
Oats, chopped feed or soaked corn are
suitable. 1t is well to have the horses
on pasture nights, for aside from the
benefit of the grass, they are much more
comfortable in the cool pasture than in
the hot stable? Do not, however, lessen
the feed if the horses are at work
Where 1t Is not convenient to turn to
pasture give little green feed daily
Allow them to take a roll after their
days work is done; keep their skins
clean either by washing or currying.
Harvesters and sidedraft reapers and
mowers are apt to gall the horses necks
and shoulders. We have found the
zinc pads a preventive of sore necks,
and a wash of cold salt water, when the
nurses Coiue from Work, Will tOugnen
the shoulders; white oak bark tea is
also good If the shoulders get raw
calomel or white lead will aid in drying
up the sores. See that the collars are
kept clean and fit properly. We had a
horse badly sweeneyed by working a few
days with collar that seemed to fit
him when he began work and was quite
t1eshy, but was too large when he had
worked off his surplus flesh.

Cotton Seed Oil Manufacture.

The industries of the South have,
since the close of our civil war, been
extending in different directions, while
some peculiar branches have attained a
degree of importance never dreamed Of
in the days of slavery. One of these is
the manufacture of the oil Of cotton
seed and the art of refining the same,
by which it is made as sweet as olive
oil, and not only used as such in the
United States, but it is now largely
exported to Italy to compete with the
native olive oil, which is a staple arti-
Gle. 1t is there used for adulterating
the native article, and then it is expor-
ted again as genuine olive oil. This
has already become a serious matter, as
of the six million gallons of cotton
seed oil which were exported from the
United States during the last year, the
greater portion went to Italy. The
Italian government, therefore, in order
to check this adulteration, has imposed
a heavy duty upon the importation of
cotton seed oil from the United States
The expectation, which in 1877 and
1873 was about one and a half million
gallons per year, reached in 1879 nearly
six millions, and this will be surpassed
in 1880. Our home consumption of
the article is over 1900, 900 gallons per
year. Mississippi and Louisiana have
each 6 oil mills; Tennessee 8, Texas 6,
Arkansas 4 and Missouri, Alabama and
Georgia , each together, -. At
present 100000 tons of the seed are
now pressed, yielding 80 gallons oil and
100 pounds of oil cake to the ton OF
seed. This oil cake has admirable
tattening qualities and is largely used
for cattle.-Scientifc American.

Labor in the South.

The New Orleans Democrat recently
contained an article which treats philo-
sophically the labor question of the
Southern States, and exposes and dem
onstrates the alarming defects and de-
structiveness of our agricultural system.
The subject is one of vital Importance,
and is eminetly worthy Of the careful
study and consideration of those who
control and direct the agriculture of the
South The wave Of prosperity which
Is now reviving the spirits Of our Peo-
pie, who have for so long time
struggled with poverty and misfortune,
should not be permitted to blind us to
those evils which are visible to every
observer, and which are wasting and
consuming the real substance from
which all prospective prosperity must
spring.
The subject Is one of the gravest
import, and involves the real interests
Of the laborer in an equal degree with
those Of the landhOlder Who is there
that does not know the productiveness
Of our best lands is being constantly
impaired, and that the yield of success
sive crops, under the present system, is
being continually diminished? There
may be few isolated exceptions to the
general rule, but they count as nothing
in the aggregate. Year by year the
rewards Of labor are reduced, and,
though almost imperceptibly, proprietor
and tenant may reckon their annual
dividends as diminishing in the scale of
a descending arithmetical progression.

ishment Of lands that under a more
enlightened treatment and with but
trihing expenditure of labor and the ap
plication Of the wasted fertilizers of the

A Great Orchard.

The Farmers Review publishes de-
tailed account of the orchard of A. r.
Whitney, of Illinois, who has 155 acres
in apple trees. He set the first 400
trees in 1843, and now has 10000 in
bearing. He began with IA sorts,
though only 80 are left, his object being
to test them. For summer and autumn,
he chooses Red Astrachan, Maiden's
Blush, Snow and Bailey's Sweet, and for
winter and spring, Domino, Jonathan,
Willow Twig, Ben Davis, and Winesap.
His largest crop, in 1866, was 5000
bushels, one-half of which was shipped
TO market, and the other half made into
cider. He does not count on a full or
heavy crop oftener than once in four
years. For the codling moth he turns
sheep into the orchard, by which these
insects are nearly cleared out. belong
wool sheep are best, as Cotswold, Lei
cesters and SouthdoWns Merinos eat
the bark. The soil of the orchard is rich
enough without manure. Mr.. w. adj

San Francisco
Kearney Committed to Il Ia @
House of Correction.

sAN Francisco, April 19--In the po-
lice Court, this morning, the Prosecut-
g'Attorney asked for a commitment
for Kearney. The latter was not pres
ent at the time, but in few minutes APP
peared with his counsel, who asked a de-
lay to enable him to make application to
the Supreme Court for writ Of habeas
corpus. The court denied the request
as unusual and extraordinary. The COM
mitment was made out, and Kearney,
evidently greatly depressed and chagrin-
ed, was taken below and in a few mo-
ments removed to a hack and drawn to
to the house Of correction, where, after
going through the hands of the barber
and donning the convict's gsrb, he was
placed in cell. As he left the court
room he asked the Judge if the commit
ment contained any reference to pro-
vision Of the new constitution fixing
eight hours az days labor. The Judge
replied that the Superintendent of the
house Of correction would see that he
had sufficient work to do and not TOO
much. His counsel will apply for
writ Of habeas corpus, but it is not ex-
pected to be Of any avail to the prisoner.

WEST POINT,
A SENSATION IN THE WHITAKER INQUIRY
PROBABLE DISCOVERY OF THE WRITER
or THE ANONYMOUS NOTE or WARNING.

WEST PoINT, N. Y, April 19,-Super-
intendent Gaylor; Of the New York
post office, an expert in writing, created
sensation this morning, in the inquiry
into the case Of Cadet Whitaker, by his
testimony. he had been given, several
days ago, 2b7 pieces of paper from the
257 cadets, on which the cadets had
written sentences containing the words
in the note Of warning found in Whitta-
kcr's room. Before handing the papers
to Gaylor, last week, the Recorder tore
the signature Of the cadet from the pa
per, he himself keeping the signature
When asked what was the result Of his
comparison, Gaylor testified, in sub
stance, that he had found no similarity
between any Of them and the note Of
warning, except in the case Of the paper
numbered 49," lie had been given sew
eral other papers written by the person
that wrote the sentence numbered IS" :"

cation.
Cadet Dickinson testlfies that he has
inspected Whattaker's room four times
since laat November. He saw no pillow
case on his pillow, and never saw the
other cadets pillows without pillow
cases. This witness gave many reasons
why he thought Whitaker assaulted

on the floor Of Whittaker's room written
to Whlttaker's mother In Whittnkor's
handwriting. II was only partly writ

burned. II was taken from the room

longs had been found in a similar con-
dition it would have been said at once
that was impossible for him to have tied
his own feet and hands. 1t is without q

fact tkat can cast a single shadow of
light upon it, with nothing in the world

permitted TO so through his three or
four years of study without receiving a
solitary act of kindness from the two or
three hundred cadets, or one word of
sympathy. But he had received that
which twas hardest TO bear from any
