Dry Earth for Bedding.

If anv one will observe when the cows
choose to lie down in the yard or pas
ture. it will be seen that they choose
! the bare ground, rather than the sod
or bedding of straw. The same is true
of sheep. We have taken this hint
and furnished the cow-stables with
dry earth bedding. Leaves and straw
are poor absorbehts in comparison. In
the pig-pens dry earth has no equal.
In very cold weather we add straw or
leaves; but until the weather is very
cold, the animals will be more comfort
able with bed of fresh soil, or of soil
changed once fortnight or week. In
the chicken-house we have learned its
great value as deodorizer. Our roosts.
are over sloping floor, on which we
occasionally scatter dry earth. The
droppings roll down into pile of dry
earth. This is turned over with a
shovel each week or oftener, and we
can say the chicken-house is free from
any offensive odor, and the bright
combs and glossy feathers tell Of the
health of the fowls. Dry earth is
good preventive, too. Of vermin on cat
tie, pigs and poultry. 1t must be pro-
cured at dry time, and stored undes.
shed or in the stables. 1t not only
promotes neatress and health, but
saves the very elements of the manures
which make them most valuable, and
most of which would evaporate if not
absorbed by the dry earth. We do
not like it as bedding in the horse
stables, but it should be found in every
stable, to sprinkle the floor with as soon
as the bedding is removed in the morn
ING. When removed from the stables.
styes and coops, it should be kept under
cover for spring use, or for drilling with

Smut in Corn.

Every year smut in corn is increasing
so that it is rare now to find field free
from it, while some farms are infected
with it to an alarming extent l say
alarming. advisedly, because farmers or
stock men realize the mischief this par
aste may do, and actually does produce.
The nature of smut is somewhat akin to
that other fungus, ergot. in its effect
upon the urinary and uterine organs.
1t cannot be doubted that the so-called
murrain, of which the chief symptoms
are impaction of the rumen, indigestion
and blood-polsoning; braxy or enteric
fever in sheep are caused by this fun
gus. There may be and are other
causes, but this poisonous vegetable
parasite is the most frequent agent in
producing these diseases.
IT'S specific character and manner of
growth, too, are by no means generally
known, and this is unfortunate; because
if we are to find any remedy it must first
be through knowledge of the habits OF
this plant.
After several years investigation of
corn smut, l have come to the conclu-
sion that it is a true parasitic disease of
the corn plant. produced by infection
taken from the soil; that the continued
growth of corn upon the same soil IA
Vors its spread, and that corn grown
upon smutty soil, or soil upon which
previous crops of smutty corn have been
grown, will surely be infested, and that
very extensively. The smut certainly
comes from the root, and affects the
whole plant. I have this year grown
some smutty corn, in piece of ground

An EMPLOYER should ALWAYS manage

An employer should always manage
to oversee the work which is being per-
formed. A general and intelligent over
sight is very different from petty and ir-
ritating meddlipg. The appreciative
eye which discovers real merit and re-
wards it by increasing trust, which dis
Germs unfaithfulness or slaokness and
visits it with just rebuke, is a potent in
fluence to produce good and true work.
Many of the steps in doing work, many
of the methods by which it is done, may
be judiciously left to the discretion of
the agent but to see to it that the work
itself is well done, to show an intelligent
and lively interest in it, to tolerate no
unfaithfulness, and to show appreciation
of all real excellence is the duty and to
the interest of every employer.

Pertinent Questions for Some PEG.
pie to Answer.
A correspondent Of the Salt Lake Tri.
bune. writing from Silver Reef relative to
the proposed reduction OF miners wages,
says:
The question with which we have to deal
is whether the Miners Union OF this camp
is right or wrong in resisting q reduction
Of wages from "a to SO so per day.
To begin with, the miners trade is one
which takes more time to master than
most others, and no one knows this better
than foremen and superintendents who
have come from the ranks.
It is a trade which demands more
strength, more endurance and more nerve
than any other, and no n knows this as
well as he who, through following 1t, finds
himself prematurely broken down in CON
stitution when he should be in the flush OF
manhood.
The dangers attending ii are patent to
all.
The miner has the disadvantage, unlike
other tradesmen, that the more proficient
he is in his business, the hardest. the most
unhealthy and the most dangerous places
are reserved for him, and 1t ALWAYS will be
so. Why is it, then, that mining as a
trade should rate lower than others, and
that persons u~nacquainted with the bust
ness imagine that any one with strength
sufficient can mine?
