Post, Major Snider was mentioned as
an ex- Confederate. We do not know
whether the Major was in the Con-
federate army or not, but if he was,
we hope he is not ashamed of it.
We know Major Snider to be the best
military instructor the University
has ever had, and the drill we had at
the last Commencement was far su-
perior to anything ever held or wit
messed here In this State there
are thousands of persons who were
in the Confederate army, and thous-
who sympathized with them, where
the majority of the students have
Southern proclivities, we think it is
great piece of folly in trying to
cast reflections on heightened gentle
men, in trying to stygmatize them
by calling them exC onfederates.
One of the best and most accom-
plished Professors Of the University
was an Confederate soldier. We
refer to Prof. Fontaine. Our Uni-
versitv need not look to Yankeeland
as she has done heretofore, to get
good teachers, either scientific or mil
itary. The citizens of West Virgin
ia are taxed to support the Univers
ity, and we are in favor, now and
forever,of having the teachers of that
institution, if possible, selected from
the sons of West Virginia.
We are confident that large ma
iority of the Cadets woul ] gladly see
Major Snyder as their commander
again, if that were possible. But no
the Major is independent, fearless
and full of that Southern chiyalry
which is the admiration of all tru'
and generous gentlemen, and unfor
tunately for him, these qualities
are not appreciated in certain
quarters. M )
We are not responsible for the sen
timents of the above.

TOadS.

FRENCH industry and sagacity take
the lead of the world in little things,
if nothing more. Toad culture is a
regular business there with economic
people and the demand for toads is
great and increasing. The useful little
animals are employed as insect
destroyers, not only in the gardens of
that country, but thousands of them
are packed down in baskets of damp
moss. and sent to the other countries to
be sold to gardeners. The most observ-
ing horticulturists and floriculturists
have long been aware of their value as
insect destroyers, and have utilized
them to a greater or less extent. And
it is not much to the credit of Ameri-
can gardeners and farmers that they
have never recognized the services of
this helpful and innocent little reptile.
Nature conducts her operation by re-
ciprocal means, and if she gives us the
the hurtful insects to eat up our crops,
she also gives us the birds, toads, ETC.,
to eat up the insects. The farmer
should keep close eye on nature, and
seek to make her manifold operations
helpful, instead of casting hindrance in
in the way destroying her agents. The
successful farmer has great need to be
good economic naturalist. Many things,
as loathsome looking as the toad, are
the farmers friend. -Rural Messenger.

Use OF the Harrow.

We are inclined to attach far greater
importance to the harrow and its par
ticular Office in farm practice than is
usually given it. No farmer should re-
gard his set of implements as at all ap-
preaching completeness unless he has
at least three, four would be better,
harrows. cultivators, horse hoes, or
similar implements of securing fine
tillage; and no farmer should be con-
tent with a single or even with two
borrowings previous to putting seed of
any kind into the ground. Time spent
in narrowing is we'll employed, as it is
impossible that soil can be too finely or
well prepared as seed bed. As to the
implements themselves, it is curious to
observe the improvements, modifica-
tions and adaptations to uses which the
harrow has undergone from the days of
the old A shaped and square harrow of
twenty years ago, to the pulverizing,
coulter and smoothing harrows of the
present. The only objection we have
to them is that which obtains in refer
ence to many classes of our farm imple-
ments: that in many instances they
have been multiplied beyond the actual
necessities of the case, SO that frequent
ly farmers haye really more implements
of one kind than they actually need. or
are unnecessarily bewildered in their

Production and Keeping Of Eggs.

OFTENTIMES it is q matter of i'm
portance to keep eggs for time. When
prices rule low, they may be preserved
in comparative freshness for several
weeks, even in July and August, if care
be taken to place them on end as soon
as brought in from the nest. One not
accustomed to handling and care of
eggs can form no idea of the shortness
of time required for the yelk of an egg
to settle on one side, where it adheres
to the shell and quickly spoils in warm
weather. Always place the egg on the
big end. I have tried both ends. and
Lave decided in favor of the. former DO
sition. Eggs should be gathered from
the nest every day, and where there
are many hens kept. twice day. It
matters not for what purpose we desire
eggs, the hens that produce them
should always be young and healthy.
Eggs that are to be kept for any length
of time should always be those from
young hens, or if two years old. only
from those in perfect health. If this
rule is closely observed by the breeders
who export eggs for Matching, from one
locality to another. there will be better
satisfaction given. It is of much i'm
portance that the eggs have perfect
shells, and hen not in perfect health
may drop her eggs regularly, yet the
shells may possess imperfections that
render them unfit either. for keeping or
hatching.-C0untry Gentleman.

choice when making purchases.
But it is as true now as it was
in the time of Lord Kames, that
no one harrow, whatever its construc-
ton may be, can be suitable for every
sort of soil, or adapted for fitting the
land for. or leaving it after every kind
of crop. There must be different i'm
piements of after-culture 1--WE mean
those which follow the plow) for the
various crops and uses, and for this
reason q number of harrows are needed
on every farm of considerable size.
There must be heavy harrows for break
ing and pulverizing: medium ones for
preparation of the soil, for covering
manure and grass seed, and lighter har-
rows for finishing off the surface. or as
in case of some, for actually wedding
the crop. This last operation was for
merly performed with the primitive

ment seems to be one of fargreater use

wedding growing corn, or dressing q
fallow, there is no implement so well
fitted for the work as this; and so far as
we can learn from those who have used
it, every year confirms the good opinion

Water for Cows In Pasture.

For mich COWS it is very necessary
that the water for them is pure, other
wise it taints the milk, and from this
neither good butter nor cheese can be
made. Where there is not abundance
of clear, running water in yard or past
ure, it should be supplied from wells
or cisterns. If drunk from standing
pools or small ponds, the water is al
ways more or less foul, or SO stag
nant as to be unpalatable, and at times
even unhealthful. In order to obtain a
full flow of milk COWS must have all
the water they will naturally drink at
morning, noon and night, otherwise
they will not give full messes of milk,
nor will it be of so good quality. But
a running stream, more especially when
at pasture, where they can 90 and
drink at pleasure, is still better than
thst drawn from wells for them three
times per day, at regular intervals.
Necessity, however, often compels the
latter course. Some dairymen, in or
der to increase the flow of milk, stimu-
late their COWS to drink an extra guam
tity of water, by extra setting their
food or stirring small quantity of
bran or meal in it. But this is obiec-
tionable, inasmuch as it tends to lessen
the richness of the milk. This also fills
up the stomach SO much as to dilute the
gastric juice and thus injure digestion,
and more or less of the food is conse-
quently voided whole. If there be a
gain in milk, then loss in food follows
by stimulating to an excess of drink
