TRAINING COLTs.-This is q pleasure to
the boys, and need not be otherwise to
the animals by right course. Let them
first get used to wearing halter both
without and with tying. Curry them gent
ly each day, and occasionally put light
harness on for an hour or two in the STA
Die. After they are used to this, they may
be hitched before a sulky or light wagon
and driven about for several hours each
day. Soon they may be put to the lighter
work about the farm, but must not be
counted OH much yet the first season.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

EFFECTS OF POULTRY MANURE.-What
is the value of poultry manure? This
question is often asked. l can very justly
say the manure is worth quite as much rs
the food consumed by the fowls. From Il
flock of % hens last summer and II through
the winter gathered 16 barrels of ma
nure. Most of this put oil small vege-
table garden in a sandy spot from which
the top soil was dug away three years ago
five feet deep. The soil was very sandy
and light in color. AS it lay in front of
the chicken-yard most of the manure has
been put OH this sandy spot and dug in
quite deeply. The soil for foot in depth
is nov rs dark as Western prairie soil,
and rich, deep brown in color. A few
rows of strawberries were covered with
The fresh poultry manure in the winter.
Neighbors said it would Kill the straw
berry plants "dead as dead.9 They are
not dead, however, but up with an extra
ordinary growth, and April 2S,h found
one plant in blossom, and nearly every
plant in the rows ready to burst into
bloom. The effect over COW and calf ma
nurc is very great. | find this manure
also to be grand for onions. For potatoes
it IS not so good, rs it encourages scab in
q most remarkable degree, which is be-
cause the wire worms harbor in it so nu-
mcropsly. Or DO the fowls pick up the
wire worms and void the eggs of them
undigeStcd in the droppings, and so spread
this pest? Who can tell?-New York
Times.

LICE on CArTLE.-Lice usually first
make Judgment near the base of the
horns, and scatter out from there on the
top of the neck and down on the brisket.
If not promptly attended to they work
back on the shoulders and along the back
TO the tail. good application for their
destruction is strong soap-suds made of
soft soap and water. This is as harmless
as so much pure water. Thoroughly sat-
urate the hair OH the parts infested, and
rub it we'll in. After two weeks, repeat
the applications to destroy those which
have Matched from eggs remaining on the
animal, and the work is accomplished.
If the weather is cold and the animal
needs washing all over, wet only one-half
ut time. Blanket warm till dry.

VIRGINIA MATTERS.

The Schools Under Bourbon RuIe-In-
diotod for Participating in a Political
Meeting.
RICHMOND, May 6.-Already complaints are
coming in to the bureau Of education from
public school teachers that they are not re-
oeiving their pay as promptly as tho law
requires, or as thoy were paid before the state
passed under bourbon rule. Some of the new
bourbon county school boards did not qualify
in time, aud hence there are now two different
county systems In force. There are over 1,2OO
children in this city alone who have made
application for school accommodations, who
have now waited eight months and yet moth
ing has been done.
The argument before tho court of appeals
in case from Portsmouth to test the con-
stitutionality of the law which requires that
judges OF election shall be "freeholders" was
closed to-day. The decision of the court is
expected on Thursday. As the word "free-
holder" restricts the material of which these
officers can be made, it is claimed to be in
violation of the Virginia and national con-
stitutions. If this be true, the old election
machinery of the state will remain in
operation. If the court hold the contrary,
there will be no fair elections in Virginia,
There is great deal of unoasiness folt by the
democrats with regard to the efforts making
to force the state to receive coupons for taxes
and the result will surely cut down the
revenue
The grand jury of the hustings court OF
this city to-day indicted Mr.. Carter NJ.
Louthan, of Clarke county, for actively par
ticipating in political meeting in violation
of law passed by the late legislature. which
prohibits county school superintendents from
engaging in political matters. Mr.. Louthan
is republican delegate to the Chicago con-
ventlon and is also school superintendent of
Clarke county. 1t is test case, and the law
will no doubt be declared unconstitutional.
Contributions to tho confederate soldiers
homo are coming in briskly, and the city, it
is thought, will donate its site. Fredericks-
burg is also spoken of as the place to locate
1t.
There is trouble among the bourbons over
the recent primary elections here, and frauds
are openly charged against the two wings by
each other. --- = I
