THE YOUNG aIEN.s cLUB.

Large and Interesting Meeting Last
Week.
The meeting of the Young Mems De-
batting club last week was a large and
enthusiastic one The opening address
by the president, Mr.. Smith. was deliv-
cred in his usual pleasing manner, and
contained many valuable suggestions TO
the members of the club.
The question for debate, Resolved,
That The result OF the recent elections
indicate Republican victory in 1884. /"
was handled in very creditable manner
by the speakers on both sides. and al
though each speaker may have succeed
ed IN convincing himself that his
party would be the successful one. the
gene raj feeling of the club still Is that
We will haYe TO wait until 1884 to know
which party will hold the reins.
After these exercises DR.. Wright was
called out by the club and talked at
some length on the advantages of de-
bate. He said that the debate was the
high read to public speaking and that
he regarded the art OF being able TO
speak well in public, as the highest of
all earthly attainments.
A man may be thoroughly versed in
history, may have deTYed IN the most
abstruse branches of mathematics, may
be able to speak with fuencY many Ian
guages, in short he may have accom-
plished all that pertains TO high scholar
ship and yet he will make failure in
any attempt at public speaking unless
he has had experience.
Practice is the great essential 70 speak
ing we'll IN public. He acknowledged
the fact that some men were endowed
with superior gifts of speech from the
cradle, yet he believed that We might
take fifty young men of only average
talent, and by affording them the advan-
tAges OF debate as we have here. that
forty.fiv out ofthe fifty 'wnuld become
fair public speakers.
DIR. Wright was followed by Rev.
Mackay, who delivered an address on the
characteristics of the Emerald Isle and
ITS inhabitants. Space will not admit

the dispatches printed elsewhere in this

hiding in the train from Knoxville to the
place of his execution, to wrench re-

The end of Taylor Is fitting culmin.

salt and Ashes far AnIInaus


This subject has been frequently dis
.ussed hitherto, especially the use of Aalt
for farm stock. That all domestic ami
mails do better where they are constantly
supplied with salt, am perfectly salts
fed, from experience and long obserya-
ton. The only case where salt seems to
do injury is where cattle have been long
without it, and then ON giving them all
they are inclined TO consume, am viii.
ing to own that it is temporarily injur-
ious, not because the article is of itself
bad, but because of taking too much at
one dose.
The proper way to feed salt is to place
it where the stock can get it as they
please, and take what they are inclined
% eat. Never mix it with their food,
80 that they are compelled to take it
whether they wish it or not. More and
better butter can be made from the milk
of cow when she has her free supply
of salt, than from one entirely deprived
Of it, or having an irregular supply, and
it also takes less times>tO churn the
cream.
Nature requires salt rs an aid in pre-
serving health. It assists in digestion,
as we'll as in many other ways, which
need not here mention. For cattle NJ
pasture lHmns may be laid in any eoII-
genient place where q board can be liked
TO shelter from the rain, and still ALLOW
the stock free access. At the barn the
Jumps can be placed under the shed, or
in some other convenient spot.
But oftentimes stock seem to require
an alkali as well, and that Is most con-
yeniently supplied in wood ashes, which
horses, cattle, sheep and swine win
freddy devour, when they have an OPP
portunity. These should also be sup
piled where the stock can have aecees 70
them a. desired. The aaAes shonld be
from good sound wood and kept dry.
When desirable to keep cattle ct pas
tuIe, and there Is no shed to shelter the
ashes and salt, 3 convenient trough may
be fastened between two pests, on top Of
which are fastened two plAnks or boards
as 3 roof 70 shelter from rain, I,1e posts
should be long enough 30 that the trough
may be eighteen or twenty inches above
the ground, and there must be room
above, between it and the roof, to allow
of free acceas to the salt or ashes. 11Tll
answers for all stock except sheep and
swine, which can have the trOugha lever
| believe that If constant supply Of
salt and ashes Is provided where all kiuds
Of stock can have access to them, very
much less disease would Be known
among farm stock; have never known
