If one NAV judge of the popularity
Of a candidate for office, by the num-
ber and tone Of new spaper notices

the colored candidate for Auditor o'
State on the Republican ticket ~
Kansas. is certainly q popular man
But while we admit the potency OF
The press in political affairs there
remains to be considered another
and more numerous element which 1t
! less easy TO conciliate and win over
to The support Of coIored candidates
for high and responsible positions,
than is a liberal minded and progress
.ive fraternity Of newspaper men.
And the more Republican this mass
Of fpcople pretend to be in their politi-
cal views, the greater and more
difficult the task is to prove to them,
the necessity Of recognizing the
c0lored voters, who have always rail-
lied to the support Of the party ban
ner. Kansas has coi0red voting
population ofnearly or quite $4,000.
They comprise an easy one fourth
of the Republican party OF that state,
and vet there is not single colored
man to-day holding an office higher
than County Clerk within her Dor
ders. There should be a. least three
Representative and one State Audi
tor in her legislature, representing by
their indentifcati0n with the race
the cOored voters, and the position
sought by Mr.. McCabe, and TO whict

The veteran fruit-grower, c. NJ. Hoyey,
writing to the Massachusetts, Ploughman,
says, referring to the recently published ex-
perienoes OF Peter Fay; '"rhRt Mr.. Fay has
been a very painstaking cultiyator and carful
observer, his communication abundanty tes-
ti6es If we could only have had such expe-
rienoe years ago, how much time and money
might have been saved l say "might," for
it is very probable that it might not. The
mass of the people greatly prefer to purchase
a fruit tree from canvasser or dealer who ex-
hibits a oolored plate of some magnihed fruit,
rather than 90 to reputable nursery man,
and l fear all such advice would be so much
time spent in vain" This we think is the
general experience After o years of patient
labor in testing varieties of fruit suitable to
the colder parts of New England, these tree
peddlers come into our own immediate neigh
borhood and sell worthless varieties at dollar
tree when we have to burn up hundreds,
and some years thousands, of far better trees,
which we offer in vain at 20 cents piece. In
a village ten miles away on the railroad
whence We do not remember ever getting an
order for a tree, tree agent last year took in
a week over 5000 worth of cash orders for
trees which, if true to name are of varieties
mostly quite unsuited to the climate. 1t does
seem, indeed, that the old Rdage is true which

DIR. d. D. Slade, Professor of Agricultural
Zoology, Harvard University, gives in the
American Agriculturist for June very full
account of the symptoms that will enable
owners of horses to detect different varieties
of lameness and their treatment. We have
only space for the following: shoulder
lameness is frequently due to a strain, or to
direct violence, and is shown in repose by the
hanging of the limb from Discrimination to
move the muscles, and during motion by the
dragging and difficulty of bringing forward
the limb, which is done by rotatory move
ment. 1t is also shown by the finching
When the foot is lifted and carried forward
and backward. The positive signs before
mentioned may or may not be present. If
the elbow is affected, there will be a similar
hanging of the limb, and excessive nodding
of the head in motion. In splint,
lameness is usually much increased by exer-
else. Pressure on the limb shows tenderness,
and there is increased heat, with moro or less
swelling. small splint, in developing, may
give much more pain, shown by lameness,
than one fully formed. Ringbono and ossi-
fed side cartilages, in their early stages, may
be recognized as causes of peculiar stiffen-
ed gait, with the weight thrown upon the
heels. The lameness nearly or entirely dis
appears before tho bony deposit appears
about the middle and lower pastern. Strains
OF pOhleflOr unu Otltr llBamentS and tenQOnS
OF the lower limb evidence themselves by the
local symptoms and alteration in gait. But
there are cases of temporary lameness, from
very obscure causes, attributable only to a
sudden strain of some ligament whose exact
situation can only be surmised. The short,
quiet step Of the horse, with that inflamma-
ton of the feet known as chronic laninites in
which the weight is thrown upon the heels of
the fore limbs, is easily recognized. In the
less frequent affection, navicular disease, the
weight IL thrown upon the toes, the gait is
short aud the lameness, slight at first, is in
creased by exercise. Corns are discovered by
rapping and pinching the sole, at the space
between the bars and the quarters in the fore
feet. Disease of the frog is self-evident by
the peculiar odOr. A sand crack sufficient TO
| produce lameness cannot escape observation
| Accidental injuries TO the feet will generally
| be known by the history of the case. Lame
ness in and about the hip-joint is most fire.
| quently the result of strain, and is 20 be rec
oguized by the peculiar want of movement of
| the hind quarter, aud, if of long standing, by
the wasting of the muscles OF the region.
/ Suhe joint lameness, either the result of
luxation or of disease, may be known by the
dragging OF tho toe, and by the local symptoms.
i Bone SPAWN is manifested by positive signs,
but more especially by the stiffness in the
bending of the hook joint, and by the drag
/ ging aud sudden catching up Of the limb, and
| above all by tho disappearance of all lame
/ ness during exercise, to Te-appear after rest
| Bog SPAWN, disease of the true hook Joint
| gives rise to a similar lameness."

Nature is so bountiful and our heritege in
this great country ia so large that we are not
as q people inclined to economize. In years
to come, as the land is more thickly settled,
he will be the successful farmer who learns to
make little ground yield plentifully, and in
those days the advice of tho Agriculturist on
the saving Of bones will be more valued, IL
not more valuable. 1t says: "Plant food is
concentrated in bones and most gardeners
who make q business of raising fruits and
vegetables appreciate their value. In tree
planting they are almost indispensable. They
can be had Of village boys generally for from
25 to 90 cents barrel. They pick them up
about the streets, gardens and slaughter hous-
es, the remnants of butchers meats sold to
families. This kind Of bono is fine enough
to put into borders for grape vines and fruit
trees, and to bury under old trees, without
any preparation. bushel of these bones to
a newly-planted tree is none too much, and
one may safely plant five bushels under a
bearing apple or pear tree or grape vine. So
large results will not follow Immediately from
these coarse pieces as from the ground article
or from superphosphate but there will be in
the soil a supply of food for many years to
come, and the roots will appropriate il as they
have need. The fine rootlets will seek the
bones as eagerly as they seek water in a tile
drain. We have frequently taken up grape
vines planted in this way, and found the en-
tire mass of bone, once solid, penetrated with
fine roots We doubt If any investment in
fertilizers pays better than these bones from
butchers meat which are quite plentiful in
our yllapes"

Throughout most of central Europe fruit
trees are planted by the farmers and cottagcrs
with judcious care and discrimination in
their fields and gardens In an ordinary sea-
son they gather an abundance Of luscious
fruit, not only enough to supply their domes-
tic wants, but also to send large quantities to
market, from which they realize an accepta.
BILE addition to their income This is all done
without losing square rod of ground that
could be proftably devoted to any other food
crop. The trees are planted along roadsides,
on the margins of the fields, in the hedge
rows and in other odd places and corners,
where they occupy the ground that can not
be conveniently or proftably cultivated.

Bare places in lawns may be mended by
several methods. If large, the surface may
be worked over with a sharp rake, to take out
dead stems and roots, and then, after fertiliz.
ing, be sown with grass seed of a kind SINH
lar to the rest of the lawn. In England n
method is in use, not only for restoring bare
places in established lawns, but also for start
