The Popular Demand.

So great has been the popular de-
mand for the celebrated remedy Kid

sale from Maine to California Some
have found it inconvenient to prepare
it from the dry compound. For such
the proprietors now prepare it in Ii

same effect as the dry, but is very con-
centrated so that the dose is much

"ANY chestnuts round here?" ask
ed one of three city boys, who met an
aged, benevolent-looking farmer out
in Montgomery County. The old man
hesitated. You don't want to steal
'em ?" he asked. "Oh! no. We just
wanted to find out" "Well, there's
a few trees back there; but, if |
thought you wanted to steal them, l

goodness. when will the owner be
back?" "Well, not before dark, 1

thanked the old man, waited till he
got out Of sight, jumped the fence, and
were soon shaking down the burrs.
The shaking was easy; but the OPEN
ing of the chestnut-burrs was more
difficult and unpleasant At last the
boys had splendid pile of handsome
brown nuts on the ground, and they
prepared to put them in the bags they
brought with them. please don't
take any more trouble" said the be-
nevolent old man, who stood by the
fence, beaming kindly on the startled
boys. I'm not so strong as once

rac,s about shoeing Horses.

A writer in the New York Herald
states some facts about how horses
should be shod, which are worthy
the consideration of blacksmiths,
and farmers as well:
"Most of the horse -shoers of the
country prepare the foot, fit shoe,
and secure it to the hoof in the same
manner that wood butcher fits a
shoe to an old ox-sled. The mechan
ism of a horses hoof is one of the
most wonderful and ingenious struc-
lures that can be found in all the
works of the Creator. Beneath and
in the rear of every boot there is a
frog, which is a tough and elastic
pad for preventing injury to the
animal whenever he plants his foot
suddenly upon any hard substance
Large rolls or cylinders of India
rubber are placed beneath railroad
cars to prevent injury to any part
of the car or cargo with which it is
loaded. The frog beneath the foot
of horse is designed to subserve a
similar purpose. But the manner in
which most horses are shod lifts
them up, as it were, on short stills,
SO that the frog cannot perform is
appropriate functions. If we look
carefully at the young horse when
he is trotting or running, it will be
perceived that every foot is brought
to the ground in such manner that
the frog receives the powerful blow.
BY this means all injury to the
animal is prevented. Science teach
es us to permit the frog to develop
and extend downward. But most
blacksmiths appear to think that the
All wise Creator made a great mis-
take when he formed the hoofs of
horses. Hence they fall at the frog
with red-hot burning irons, with
any other appliance chat will enable
chem to remove the extraneous ex
cresence. Illustrious ninnies! Why
not shave and burn away all the
tough callous adipose tissue beneath
their own heels, and allow the bare
bones to rest on plate of iron in
side of their own boots and shoes!

Different Ways OF Looking at

ears and small. short legs. In fact,
he selects the sheep that will fatten

American farmer, on the other hand
as soon as he has caught a sheep
opens the fleece on the side and
examines the wool carefully to see if
it is long, fine and lustrous, and of
uniform strength and quality. The
English farmer asks: "E1ow much
do they weight" The American
farmer asks: How much do they
shear" In this country the chief
aim of the sheep breeder has been
to produce heavy fleeces; in Eng
land, heavy carcasses. Both have
succeeded in a remarkable degree.
We have American Merinoes that,
in proportion to live weight, will

Defective Cotton seed.

Our recent editorial on this sub
iect has been the occasion of good
deal Of discussion in the Southern
press, and the views we advanced
have been generally endorsed by
planters and agricultural writers.
The Columbia Is. c. J Register, to
whose sensible views on farming
matters we have already referred, is
inclined to doubt whether planting
from the earliest bolls will give
an earlier variety, but it strong
" advocates careful selection of
seed, and calls for immediate action
from farmers in the matter. 1t says:
"The quality sought must trans
pire in the general economy of the
| individual plant. 1t would seem
that the surest way of securing
good seed is a very simple one and
that which can be put in practice
without any extra expense whatever.
It will cost nothing to let one intel
ligent, trusty hand go over the fields
from day to day picking ahead Of
the gang the best, largest, and
soundest pods from the most pro-
Life stalks of the soundest staple.
The planter with few strips of
colored cloth in his pocket might
mark some of the best stalks SO as
to attract attention. At any rate,
this hand might be put ahead about
| the 10th of August, and picking at

day, would gather 5000 pounds in
August, and $500 in September.
This aggregates $500 pounds OF
seed cotton, or five 500 pound bales;
and, with IS bushels of seed to the
bale, this furnishes 225 bushels OF
the best seed. By planting in hills
at given distances and with care, a
good stand is secured and the most
vigorous plant in the hill left to
grow. A half bushel of seed to the
| acre is quite sufficient for this kind
of sowing. We thus have seed
enough for 400 acres and to spare
for supply. What was not wanted
could always be disposed of for al
! least 500 per bushel, as soon as
planters who had neglected this
precaution were assured that the
seed was thus carefully selected. II
only 10 per cent. was thus added to
the yield, without a single earthly
cost of production added save OF
picking and baling, what would il
not mean in crop of 100000
bales? Just 100000 bales per an
mum, worth at least $45 per bale, OF
$27, 900 almost clean gain pei
annum. Now, is there not at least
10 per cent. difference of production
in varieties? This is worth while
thinking about. And we think il
would pay to put a hand ahead now
at this late period, and gather the
best stalks for the next ten days and
try the seed in comparison with

to trot, and then, by judicious Sc

not the farmers do the same with

Salt and Cotton worms.

A Marshall correspondent OF the
Galveston Ne7Vs writes as follows:
81 propose to relate, for the benefit
of your readers, the result of an ex
pertinent made a few years ago by
planter in Marion county, Texas,
to protect his cotton from the raw
ages of the worm. The facts were
related, in my presence, by gen
tleman who had witnessed the re-
suit, and may be relied on as being
correct. The planter making the
experiments took up the idea that
salt-common salt-would do the
work, and to test this matter, when
he had ridged up his cotton rows
in the spring, preparatory to plant
ing, he took salt in about the same
quantity as if it was small grain,
and sowed it over the tops of three
or four rows, down the middle of
the field In due time the cotton
seed were planted and grew as
usual. During the month of Sep
TENDER following, the worms made
their appearance in great numbers
and literally destroyed the field,
save and except the plants grown
upon these particular ridges. Not
only were these plants uninjured,
but the growth was much more
luxuriant and the yield of cotton
was abundant and very fine.
"Now, as to how the salt acted
in thus protecting the plant we are
unable to state. The fact remains
all the same, however, and leaves no
doubt in my mind that the salt, as
applied, is due the result, as stated.
We know that salt in proper guam
titles judiciously applied, is a good
fertilizer, and in this way are en-
abled to account for the superior
growth of this cotton. Now, as to
the modus oberandi of the salt in
protecting the plant, my idea of it
is this; The ground on which the
salt was sown became impregnated
with it. The sap taken up by the
plant was drawn from this saline
earth, and, as a matter of course,
was to greater or less extent i'm
pregnated with the salt, which, to
the delicate taste of the worms, was
not palatable, and they, as conse-
quence, refused to eat it. Be this
as it may, the fact remains as stated,
and is submitted to your readers, in
the hope that at the proper time
others may test the merits of the
plan, which is both simple and in
expensive"
