There is nothing in the position of a legislator

so lconduct themselves that there shall be no
necessity for the eXerlion of any authority of the
Speaker in the direction of quiet, orderly ses-
sion
shall treat each and every member fairly and
impartay, and, asking your cordial support, |
assure You that with that support any rules which
yoti sha! lay down for your governance shall be
strictly eaforced, and if you will place The means
at my disposal, order shall be preserved.
II at any time shall overstep the bounds of
my authority in this hall it is for you TO correct
! me, and | desire that you do so without any ia
yor to myself or TO the position which am to
occupy.
Thanking you profoundly for the honor which
you have conferred upon me- | am now ready in

The Care Of Seed-COrn.

1t will not always do to laugh at old
fashions. There are some things which
cannot be improved upon. The human
race lived and succeeded pretty well
without our valuable help years ago,
and in course of time our SUCCESSORS will
no doubt think Of us as we too often
think of our ancestors. Besides, many
of the new things we think excellent are
old. and have bcclr forpottcn until some
one, raking III mUsty records, Tuul.Q az
old ideas aud reyamped them. And in
regard to seed-cOrn, those who laugh at
the old foggy who braids the ears and
hangs them out Of doors under the caves
in the old, old style, does wrong to
laugh, if it is true that only she may
laugh who wins" For this CID foggy
farmer will win every time with his good
seed, while he who goes to the crib for his
seed will have no reason to laugh, but
far otherwise, when he sees the vacant
hills in his corn-feId. For some very
careful experiments have been made
with seed-c0rn, and of all the methods
of preserving it during the winter the
old one ofhanging the ears out in the
cold exposed to the frost and the rain
has been found to make the soundest
and most perfect seed. This accords
with the ways Of nature. For the ear,
if left on the stalk in the field, hangs
downward and in time the grains drop
to the ground where they spread and
grow It may be accounted foolish
thus to revert to natures ways and con-
slider them equal to our artificial ones;
but we think we'll of nature as a gener-
ally successful manager end Il good and
safe teacher, and although We have ad-
vanced a good deal upon her methods in
many things, yet sometimes we find it
necessary to go back to her old-fashioned
school and unlearn some of our new dis
cOveries.
The past year thousands of farmers
have reason to regret their experience
with seed-com, having lost their crop
through a bad selection. Every year
there are similar mistakes. Just now is
the season when the seed ears should be
selected. And if when the best and the
ripest not the biggest, unless they are
sound and hard-have been selected, let
them be hung up out of doors where
they will freeze and mature, and if some
of1icious neighbor objects, ask him why
not?

Preparing Stock for Winter.

The next few weeks is a hazardous
time for most kinds of domestic animals.
They need to be watched very closely
and not suffered to decliue in flesh. The
Orange County Farmer says: If they
are out to pasture and the failure of
grass leaves them with insufficient nutri-
ment to keep up their flesh, it should be
promptly ascertained, and they should
be given some kind of food to supply
the deficiency. 1t is the poorest kind
of economy imaginable to allow them to
fall away Just before going into winter
quarters.
When cold weather arrives they will
need additional food to keep up the
amount of flesh they then may carry. for
a larger portion of the food they diggst
is REQUIRED to keep up the animal tenn
perature to supply the necessary fuel.
It wOuld require an extra large suppIyto
restore lost flesh in addition. 1t may be
question in which way this extra food
may be best supplied. Perhaps with
some it may take the form of small "a
tions Of grain-oats, corn meal, or mill
feed. Some farmers raise a good many
pumpkins, and daily feed of these to
the neat stock may be the best way of
meeting the crisis. But probably the
better way is to give horses, cattle and
sheep feed once a day of good hay. It
should be the best, for stock Will not
take hold of poor hay with avidity SO
long as they can get bite of grass, but |
they will eat good hays almost any sea-
son of the year. If poor hay must be
fed at all, save it until cold weather
gives animals a vOracious appetite. OF |
all species of farm stock, sheep are the
most likely to be neglected at this sea-
son of the year. They are not, as 4
general thing, brought up into the yard .
at night, as are the cows, and there is
danger Of their losing flesh some time
before it is discovered. They should be
watched and frequently
handled, and the first indications of un-
thriftiness should be promptly met
With sheep failure in feed is not only
loss of flesh, but also loss of wool. An
other thing should be remembered with
sheep; between now and winter is the
season, and if the utmost pro-
ifcacy Of the ewes is desirable, and if
he full potency of rams is to be main
aimed, there should be no stinting in
Ood. The wise farmer will bear all
hese things in mind, and give his atten-
ion to his stock.-Etm1gelj8t.
