Binders.

One Of the most unaccountable OF
follies is that Of compelling horses to
wear binders. They are the cause OF
more run-aways and other accidents
than all the railroads in the country.
Men and horses are always more scar
ed at noises they cannot account for
than at anything else. Allow a horse
to see everything about him and be

liable to impair the eye-sight, by keep
ing the air from the eyes and by short.

stantly being struck by objects that
they would avoid if opportunity were
given them to do 80. Hardly a day

Hatch Early.

AS spring-time has come again,
bringing along the experience and
wisdom Of the past year to poultry
breeders, we suggest to the thousands
of farmers, cottagers and artisans scat
tered over our vast country, to i'm
prove their stock and rid themselves
of the mongrels, or common fowls,
kept by them for generations TO
procure from pure-bred stock to begin
with, eggs. or some good birds for the
same purpose, for single trio will, in
only one season, produce quite a flock
of young chicks, enough to start fair
sized yard of pure breeds the next year.
Early Matching is desirable, particu.
larlY with the large breeds, in order
to enable them to make large and hea-
Wy birds by fall. They take longer
time to mature, and they must be we'll
developed before cold weather, or they
will fail to meet our expectations in
the showroom or in egg product.
But, with the Leghorns, Hamburgs,
Polish and such like small breeds,
early Matching is not SO especially de-
sirable, as the weight of flesh is not
so much an object. They being quick
growing fowls, show precocity at a
very early age if proper care, food and
attention are given them right along.

How to Disappoint a Balky Horse

A farmer recently broke his horse
of a balky freak in very quiet, and
as he claims, not a cruel manner
His horse is in excellent flesh, and
shows no signs of neglect on the part
Of his master He drove him, attach
ed to a rack wagon, to the wood lot
for a small load of wood. The animal
would not pull pound He did not
beat him with club, but tied him to
tree and "let him stand" He went
to the lot at sunset end asked him to
draw, but he would not straighten a
tug. 81 made up my mind" said the
farmer, when that horse went to the
barn he would take that load of wood
The night was not cold. | went to
the, barn, got blankets and covered
the horse warm, and he stood until
morning. Then he refused to draw.
At noon went down and he was
probably hungry and lonesome. He
drew that load of wood the first time
l asked him. raturned and got an
other load before | fed him | then
rewarded him with a good dinner, and
he devoured it eagerly. / have drawn
several loads since Once he refused
to draw, but as soon as he saw me
start for the house he started after me
with the load. A horse becomes lone
some and disconnected when left
alone. as much so as person, and |
claim this method, if rightly used, is
far less cruel and is better for both
horse and man than to beat the ami

Running on One Crop.

1t is satisfactory to know that farm
ers have Of recent years grown wiser
from experience, in not running their
heads against stone walls, by rushing
largely into growing a single crop be-
cause here and there one has realized
large profits from some new and par
ticular crop which has just been in
troduced and for which there is de.
mand at high prices. This has led
many into appropriating the greater
part of their land to the same crop,
when, failure following or the de
mand for the product falling of, they
will meet with a serious loss. We
have known many who have lit
orally been ruined by entering large
ly into new things, merely on the re-
ports received from a distance, which
had no foundation in fact. or from the
swindling advertisements of sharpers,
who have scattered far and wide viii
famous reports of enormous sums
made from the cultivation of some
new crops, the seeds, or bulbs, or ta-
bers or plants of which they have
largely imported from Europe, Asia.
or Africa, specially adapted to Ameri-
can soil and climate. Our advice,
which has been urged upon farmers
over and over again, has been, first
to avoid all these high sounding swim
dies from which great fortunes are to
be realized in year or two !; and Sec
ond, to avoid the growing of special
crops TO be cultivated to the exclus
ion of the general and accepted crops
of the times, however inviting they
may be, and to 60 on with their rou-
tine mixed crops, investing only light
ly In new and promising things in or
der that if one or two failed others
will be successful, and thus always be
provided against misfortune. 1t is
far better, in fact, that we should pro-
secute mixed husbandry, for the reas-
on that though We may not make as
much profit as from a happy hit of
some special crop, yet We shall be re-
alizing, though possibly slower, yet
with far greater certainty and satisfac-
ton, moderate and steady profits.
Specializing in farming is like spec
ulating in anything else-one may be
very fortunate now and then but in
the long run we are sure to come out
the "little end of the horn," and in
stead of possessing fortune will fine
ourselves impoverished, with grow
ing family upon our hands, and be
forced to look about to discover some
way to raise the means by which we
may be able-perhaps with poor
chance of success-to start afresh in
middle age, when by careful manage
ment we should have laid up sufficient
to insure us at least a moderate COM
potency when old age shall make it
necessary for us to retire from the ac-
tive labors Of life.-Germantown Iele-

Manure for the Irish Potato.

Stable manure has been much used
by Virginia farmers for the Irish po-
tato, and many, no doubt, regard it
as the one perfect and complete ma
nure for this crop. 1t is excellent for
the purpose beyond doubt, as are al
80 other forms of domestic animal ma
nure. But the farmer can hardly af-
ford to take this manure for the pur.
pose, and we hold that no animal ma
nure is exactly suitable for the potato.
Of course plant must partake, to
some extent, Of the nature it imbibes.
and if the food is filth the plant can
not escape contamination. This being
the case, it is worth while in sani.
tary point of view, to pay same atten-
ton to the nature of the plant food of
the crops upon which We ourselves
feed.
Now, not only can the farmer find
better use for his animal manure than
to employ them in the production of
potatoes, but he can get a cheaper one
from his woods, and, with the aid OF
little superphosphate to quicken &C.
ton, an equally effective one as to re.
suits. Well rotted litter, such as may
be scraped up off any farm, has been
found excellent for the potato, used
in CONJUNCTION with super-phosphate.
The latter alone will not act near as
we'll as 1T does when litter is also ap.
piled. The potato is crop that alb
coipfolu caapoo fo do,,oond ,or,o ooar,,
material in the ridge for the potatoe.
to grow in. There is no doubt that il
is because it keeps the ridge mellow
and it gives the tubers room to grow,
A verify light sprinkle of the phos-
phate, with plenty Of rich pine straw
mould, will produce as good crop oil
potatoes as full application of stable
manure.
The litter should be at at least hall
rotted, and the entire trench made fol-
planting the sets should be filled with
it. The sets may be dropped first, the
litter put upon them and the super.
phosphate applied on top the mould
Or the plan may be reversed by put.
ting the super phosphate first. the lit.
ter upon that and the potato above
all.
A piece of land planted thus to pc.
tatoes in March or April, and the crop
removed in July could afford a most
desirable preparation for a turnip
patch next fall. 1t would be fine for
winter cabbages or collards also, the
latter cron (mnch neolected) that
ought to be planted largely for ewes,
mich cows, &C., in winter.
We advocate this cheap manure for
the potato. Let the stable and stock
pen manures be spread over the
wheat. clover and oat patches early in
the spring, or applied to the corn land
trucks, &c. 1t will pay better, thus
rotten pine straw and good commercial
fertilizer 10 small quantity will do fol
the potato especially in the interior
where none is raised for market.

The Benefit of Good Roads.

There is nothing new in the follow
ing remarks, made by the Hon. VIM.
Walter Phelps. at the annual meeting
of the New Jersey State Agricultural
Association, but the subject is one of
which ''line upon line and precept up
on precept" are useful and even neces-
sary. making good roads and spend
ing money judiciously but literally to
make them go is good policy for farmers
everywhere. 1t saves the team, the
wear and the tear OF the wagon, and
aids not only in transportations but
in other operations of the farm, in
nearly all of which transportation is
an important factor. But the good
road is especially important to our
fortunes as Jersey farmers. We have
a right to consider among the proba.

of great and rapid increase in the val

Bad roads must go

the meagre sum that the district has
for century expended each year on

Republicans Of the Sth Wisconsin
District have given proof of political
wisdom and haye rendered a good ser
vice to tie whole commonwealth by
renominating w T. Price to Congress
without opposition. Mr.. Prices first
term has shown him to be a represen-
tatiye for the whole State and the
whole Northwest rs well rs for his own
district; and his future career in Con
gress is needed He is honored in re-
ceiving denomination without receiving
any hint of opposition from any source,
but also, his district is honored in the
possession Of such candidate. The
Northwest needs men of his stamp in
the National Legislature.
When elected two years ago. Mr..
Price was given Il majority Of S,5O7,
and his friends promised to improve
upon that figure at the election in
November, And they will keep their
promise.
From the La Crosse Republican and Leader.
The Republican aud Leader is also
pleased with the denomination of
Judge Price in the Eighth Dist. of the
State for Congress and does not hest
tate to predict his election by a ma
iority double that which he received
two years ago During the time Judge
Price has served in Congress he has
made his influence felt. His speeches
have been reproduced and commented
upon by the leading journals Of the
Union, as were also the important bills
which he introduced in the House.
lie has demonstrated that the man
who combines energy with ability,
earnestneSs and perseverance with the
courage of his convictions, can take a
leading position in the House of Rep
resentatives, at the beginning Of his
Congressional service.
From various sections Of the State,
reports come floating this way that
Mr.. Price will be a candidate for the
United States Senate, but they are
not youched for by reliable parties
In the event he enters the contest, the
other applicants for that high Office
may calculate on warm and vigorous
campaign; they may also, as well, pre-
pare to believe that Mr. Price will be
backed by a strong sentiment cmanat-
ing from the masses with whom his
popularity is conceded. His candid
acy for the United States Senate, how
ever, is largely imaginary. the differ
ent conspiring and aspiring clements
suspecting every capable man in the
State of Senatorial aspirations. 1t is
too early to say definitely what course
he will pursue Should he be a sue
cessful competitor for the Office, his
advent into the United States Senate
would be the signal for the renewal Of
those interesting intellectual collisions
for which that distinguished body was
celebrated in the early days of the
Republic.
