So it is ; but the best neck

collar itself; best because it is
easiest, handicst, can't lose it,

besides it isn't a thing all

These tab collars come
from Virgoe, Middleton &

Of them. We write and

The Breeders Ga:ette says: The care and
training OF his young stock is properly re-
cognized as the most important and diff
cult part of the breeders work, and after
all the most important "animals" on the
farm IRE the boys and girls. 1t is not our
province TO suggest tho importance OF see
ing that the children Of farmers get good
training, for on the intelligence OF the next
generation Of farmers aud breeders will
success depend more largely than on any
other one thing.
A few month"; schooling in the winter
was once counted enough. 1t certainly is
not now. Thousands Of farmers boys labor
under serious disadvantages in the COM
mon and more advanced schools because
the pressure of work at home has been
thought sufficient reason for not permit
ting to commence attendance at the OPEN
ing OF the fall sessions. There is more
recognition OF the need OF special education
for the farmer than was found few years
ago. Our agricultural colleges still have
more critics than scholars. They lack many
things; chief Of all they lack students who
want 10 be farmers. There is no one Of
them at which young man may not OBJ
tain good education; and many Of them
have admirable facilities Tor teaching the
branches relating to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
facilities than would have been dreamed OF
TWENTY-FIVE wears ago.

A writer in IN Eastern paper speaks Of
preparing fields for grass as follows:
Every autumn there will be seen In the
agricultural papers an article condemninng
the practice Of pasturing moving lands IN
autumn, limiting that farmers who do so do
not know what Is for their interest. When
i read these articles I think they mean me
among others. In preparing q mowing field
IL is advocated when finished TO leave the
ground as smooth as possible for the moving
machine to follow, which it does close to the
ground, and II fed by stock they will go as
low as the mower, and by putting the ma
chine on again is just as bad or worse, Tor
the stock TO leave something behind. When
/ prepare field for grass, lido 1t in way
that will give me some tall grass and TO
hold It up for some years. set my knives
in the mower three or four inches from the
ground, leaving a stubble the same
height, which protects the roots from the
sun. I prefer to let my stock cut the
N cond crop, as they never go below
the stubble. l always let my stock
feed by second crop II possible, il think
il ia worth quarter more fed green than
dry. The stubble holds fine grass and
makes warm bed for the roots in winter.

course for fifty years and would like to see

Judge Blacks Shirts:

beH IuIey fOOE'
Judge Black was very absent minded.
Once, when he was coming to Washington,
Mrs. Black said to him: ~ want you to
promise me that you will put on clean
shirt every morning, anu l have put six
into your trunk. Please do, and don't let
me see in Washington papers illusions to
your dirty linen" The Judge promised,
left, and in week returned. After speak
ing to his wife he went into his Office,
where he was soon absorbed in studying u
case. Alter while in came Mrs. Black.
"Why, judge" said she, "what have you
done with all the shirts you took to Wash
ington!," "Done with the shirtsTn ex-
claimed the Judge, abstractedly. eyes,
the shirts!" said the matron. "Ob!" re-
piled the Judge, "why put on. q clean
shirt every morning, as l promised you l
would" ayes, Judge, but what did you
do with those you took of? you have not
brought a single one back" The truth
Just then flashed across the Judges mind,
and an examination disclosed the fact that
the old gentleman had put on clean shirt
every morning over those which he already
wore.

Con,cnIIon Of CoIored D en-.

A national convention Of colored men is
to be held in Louisville on the oath Of this
month. A great deal has been said about
the gathering, and there has been much
curious interest to know what 1t means
and what it proposes to do. 1t has been
asserted that the idea was 10 make the col.
cred men solid for President Arthuris re.
nomination. 1t has been as positively as
serted by those who ought to know that 1t
is not intended to do any presidential
booming.
The Indebtedness and uncertainty attract
ing to the project has caused many promi-
nent colored men to look on it with indii'
ference, and some with distrust. Prof.
Langston ia one Of those who, for these rea-
sons, have declared that they will not be
there aud see no good that can come OF 1t.
Fred Douglass says he does not understand
it fully, but he will be present.
n. Z. P. Mans, prominent colored man
OF Louisville, says that among other things
the convention will consider the educa-
ten Of the masses; how TO better the con.
dilior Of the colored people in the South;
whether it is better to stay in the South or
20 West; the practical future Of the colorsd
race.
These are good topics, and intelligent
discussion Of them will bear good results.
The colored race has>a deep interest in
popular education. For reasons well un-
derstood that race takes first place in the
illiteracy statistics. There are white men
equal in ignorance to the most ignorant
colored man, but the percentage of those
who cannot read and write Is, OF course,
very much larger among the colored people.
Ii happens that,his heavy weight ofilliter-
aoy rests upon the Southern States, which
plead poverty and show no great willing
ness to advance the negro:in any respect.
The convention OF colored men way well
endorse the demand, already made upon
the National Government, TO stretch out
its helping hand for the education OF the
masses. The Government has given freely
Of its land for educational purposes. 1t is
well able to give money, and it cannot al.
ford to allow considerable element OF
the population to grow up and live in ig-
norance. This is the question that lies at
the bottom OF all the questions likely to be
brought before the convention.
1t will do no harm for representative
colored men, and all colored men who can
make it convenient, to get together once in
awhile and compare notes, to see what
progress the race is making and to devise
such means as may be practicable to pro-
mote it's welfare.
