WEEDS IN HIGHWAYS,

The following is the recent enact.
ment by the Kansas legislature pre-
scribing the duties of road. overseers
in the matter of removing weeds from
the public highways. and also prohib-
iting the blowing up of roads for the
purpose of polishing rusty mold
boards:
SECTION /. Ii shall be the duty of
the road overseers of the several coun-
ties of this State TO remove, or cause
to be removed, at least once each year.
between the fifteenth day of June and
the fifteenth day of July, in the pub
lie highways, all cocklc-burs, Rocky
Mountain sand-burs, burdocks, sun
flowers, Canada thistles, and such
other obnoxious weeds as may be in
furious to the best interests of the
farming community.
SEC. 2. 1t shall be unlawful for any
person, or persons, 10 hereafter pillow
up the public highways for the pur-
pose of securing plows, or for any
other purpose, except it be under the
direction of the oyerseer of public
and any person, or persons,
the provisions of this section
shall be deemed guilty of INSIDE
meanor, and, upon conviction before
any court having competent jurisdic-
ton, shall be fined for each and every
onense under this act in a sum not
exceeding ten dollars, nor les than
three dollars, with cost of suit.

ematics. he has no superior in square
root. He hates clubs, and never keeps
his wife awake nights by snoring. He
belongs to literary family, and,
though he never writes, is the acknowl-
edged knight of the PEN"
The speaker then gave a long statis-
tical history of the hog, closing with
the following:
"That our Western farmers, espec-
tally in Kansas and Nebraska, have in
many instances apparently lost sight
Of the fact that the hog is grass-eat-
ing animal, account for largely by
the scarcity Of timber for cheap and
ready fencing material for pastures,
and the lack, as yet, of tame grasses,
Of which there would, even now, be
much more were not fencing SO ex-
pcnsive. Besides, growing grasses has
as yet been largely an experiment on
our Western prairies. and the seed is
seldom sold for aught but ready cash,
which, olas! too many of us do not
always possess. While many of our
people are too poor TO fence extensive
pastures, most of rs can inclOse
ground for goodly plat of artichokes,
oats, rye or alfalfa-and my friend,
Professor Shelton, says one acre of
alfalfa will yield as much pig-feed as
five of artichokes-or at all events can
plant sweet corn TO cut up and feed
green as part of the summer rations,
insuring better health and better
growth for the porker, and a fattcr
pockct-book, better health, a better
coat, and cleaner conscience 10 the
owner"

HORSE POINTS.

In selecting horse To buy, the
Tarf, Field and Farm gives the fol-
lowing points, which are worth re-
mernbering: In buying horse first
look at his head and eyes for signs Of
intelligence, temper, courage and hon
esty. Unless a horse has brains YOU
cannot teach him 10 do anything well.
If bad qualities predominant in horse
education only serves TO enlarge and
intensity them. The head is the indi-
Gator of disposition. A square muz-
zlc, with large nostrils, evidences an
ample breathing apparatus and lung
power. Next see that he is well and
clean cut under the jowl, with jaw
bones broad and wide apart under the
throat. Breadth and fullness between
the cars and eyes are always desir-
able. The eyes should be full and
hazel in color, ears small and thin and
thrown well forward. The horse that
turns his ears back now and then is
not to be trusted. lie is either bitter
or kicker, and is sure 10 be vicious
in other respects, and, being naturally
vicious, can never be trained to do
anything well; and so horse with
rounding nose, tapering forehead and
a broad full face below the ewes is
always :rcachcrous and not to be de-
pended on. Avoid long-legged,
stiltcd animal-always choosing one
with hort, straight back and rump,
withcrs high aud shoulders sloping,
well set back, and with good depth of
chest, forelegs short, hind legs straight,
with low down hook and pastern
joints, and n round, mulish-shaped
foot. by observing the above direc.
tions, a horse may be selected that is
graceful in his movements, good ma
tured and serviceablc-on one that will
be prize TO the owner.

Almost every flower has time for
opening and closing its petals, and a
particular way of doing it. But there
are some flowers that arc regular
clocks, and others are regular ba-
romctcrs.
The common chick-wccd Is sensitive
to cloudy weather; the pimpernal, or
poor mans weather-glass, hangs its
head at the approach of n storm.
There is flower called four-o' clock,
which opens at that hour. The morn
ing glory opens at three O'Clock in the
morning, and closes about nine or ten
according to its location. The even
ing primrose opens between five and
seven O'Clock in the evening.
Plants sleep just as animals do.
When the little marsillia, a " atcr plant,
goes to bed its four leaves meet with q
click that can be heard. Some petals
droop in slumbcr, and others close
while few curl up length

A correspondent of the Fruit Re.
cortier who had planted cabbagcs
where the hills of corn had missed
discovered that they had not been Wis
tied by the worms. lIe therefore adj
vises persons in sections where the
cabbage worms are destructive TO
plant their cabbage in the fields sur
rounded by corn. The plant flies fly
low, and consequently are disturbed,
if not shut out, by the stalks and
blades of the corn, and the cabbages
escape their visitation and the consc-
quent crop of green worms.

AN ESSAY ON HOGS.

+. ID. Co3nrn, of Kansas, read an
interesting aud humorous paper be-
fore the Chicago Agricultural Con-
vention on "thc hog with streak of
lean and a streak of fat" Appended
is an abstract of il.
''lt is fashionable 10 ridiculc and de-
nounce him, and TO insist that he is the
dire author of lcprosy, consumption,
cancer, scrofula, and the most disgust
ing diseases that afllict humanity.
This is the teaching of prejudice, not
Of science. The hog outlives all hos
Utility, and laughs, SO TO speak, at the
want of success of his slandercrs.
Still is the rocking roast pig the sacri-
lice of many n dinner table, and still is
the rural ceiling fcsiooned with savory
sausage, and the smoke-housc fragrant
with ham. The hog is true cosmop-
olite-a citizen Of the world. lie in
creases and nuliiplies, and inherits
every part of the habitable globe.
lie is as ubiquitous as the bat. lie
does not eiand in high repute for his
manners, bur he is most accommodate
ing, thriving with equal content in the
sty of the rich aud the kitchen of the |
INDECENT. He wallows sometimes, but
naiuralists say that he does this for
the sake of cleanliness, which is next |
to godliness-for the same reason that |
the Pacific Islanders grease themselves.
Among his quaint pcculiarities are his
grunt of satisfaction and his squeal of
remonstrancc and reproach. lie should
never be fed until he stops his squeal-
ing; il is the approved method Of
breaking him of the habit.
''rie hog is The product of natures
most economical thought. There is no
part that cannot be utilized. His flesh,
fat, bristles, hair. hoofs and bones are
all turned TO account. s'The divisions
of his unetuous BODY says Apicius,
are as familiar as the divisions of the
earth" His ears and feet go to souse
His brains are choice dish for the
epicure. His tail has for ages been
claimed by successive ages of children
as their peculiar property. Tradition
points out that TO appreciate il roast
ON the Goals take in the fingers. and
eat without salt. The hog is the staff
of life, the arch enemy Of famine-the
poor mans hes, friend. Moreover, in J
his earlier days, he is strikingiy play
FIJI, risky, cunning and gracefhl-as ,
much more interesting than q human
infant of the same age, Ms the latter Is /,
AS interesting rs so much putty. In /,
adult pighood he is omnivoroas and
self-reliant. bold and expeditionary II ,
and he breeds faster aud keeps cheaper
than any other domestic animal.
America Is prc-eminently the home of
the hog-he is a logical deduction from J
indian corn. He was introduced into ]
