seriously consider the question, iflt

idea prevailing that the very fact of a
corporate existence was evidence OF a
desire TO defraud the people, and when
the word "syndicaten was pronounced
a decided horror always ensued. But
reflection follows in the wake of ac.
ton and the cessation OF road building
in 1883 has led those capable of
thinking to consider the causes
thereof.
In the year named the Legislature
of Texas manifested q desire TO inter

MO Cure for Chambers.

Chambers is a certainly fatal disease,
and as it is v~irulently contagious when
3 horse is known to be affected by it the
animal should be killed and buried deep
ly without delay. The law enforces by
heavy penalties this disposition of a CLAN
ierous horse. The disease begins with
swelling of the glands of the throat;
her a white, thin, acid discharge es-
eapes from one n~ostril, and at times
from both. On examination the
membrane Called Schinderian lin
ing the nostrils is seen to be of a
livjd or lead blue Oh purple color, spot
ted with red raw sores or ulcers, having
4 deeper colored ring around them.
fhis last symptom is unmistakable, and
when it appears nc doubt remains and
the beast should be put out of suffering
and misery which will certainly ensue.
Death by CHAMBERS is horrible; the
wretched animal slowly rots away and
dies by inches IN extreme torment. At
first the symptoms of CHAMBERS are much
the same as those of distemper or nasal
gleet, but when these appear every pre-
caution should be taken against con

The Best Land for Melons.
From the Nashville American.

From the NASHVILLE American.
The best land for growing melons is a
dark, sandy loan, having a gravelly SUBJ
soil, through which water rises within 2
or 6 feet of the surface. Such lands
are seldom found outside of the first or
second bottoms of large Or small rivers.
The high or upland which nearest ap-
proaches in character river bottom is
the best place to grow melons. The
best manure is well-rotten stable dung,
in connection with that of pigeons,
chickens and turkers; and the best fer
tilizer, guano, with or without the acid
phosphate. The land should be plow-
ed, narrowed and fined in the fall, and
laid off so the melon hills will be from,
ten to twelve feet apart each way.
Where each hill is to be an opening
should be made a foot deep, and in Cir
cular shape. three feet across. Into
this the manure and fertilizers should
be put to the extent in quantity that
will a third fill the hole, the earth
returned and filling the remaining
two-thirds. This should be done in the
fall, so as to give a chance for the man.

corporated with each other. Plant a
dozen seed in a hill as soon as the earth
is well warmed up and there is nothing
to fear from frost. Commence cultiva-
ting as Dol as plants are fairly above
ground, and when the cut-worms have
done their work, thin to two plants in a
hill. Continue ~cultivating, and keep

any way after that period of growth has
been reached. If our correspondent
will find the right kind of land, and will
follow these directions, he will be pref
ty sure to get large, if not early, mel
ons. But still he will find many diff
culties in his way, and we advise him
before he undertakes growing melons
on any considerable scale to take a tour
among the melon growers, near and re-
mote, and he will return home feeling
the time and money well spent.

FARM, FIELD AND RIRESIDE.
A Few Shorts.

1t is asserted that the objection for
merly urged against the Norman horse,
to the effect that it could not endure the
southern climate of the United States,
is a fallacy, as proven by the experience
Of the principal importers.
The late General Horace Capron, at
one time owned a farm, the net r. eipts
from which amounted, in n year 184O
TO over $36, 900. It would seem as
though some men could make farming
pay.
Eighteen hundred dollars worth of
strawberries have been raised on two
and a half acres of ground by a farmer
Of Delaware township, Camden County,
N. j., and he accordingly has been
awarded a premium by the State Board
of Agriculture.
Having abandoned all hope of a peach
crop, this year, the fruit growers of the
Hudson River Valley have generally re-
solved to plant young Concord grape
vines by the thousand where peach or
chards now stand. For the space of sixty
by sixteen miles, between Cornwall and
CatskiIl the average of grape vines is
already very large. Good wine has
been made on the North River for years
past. Indeed, there are those who as
sert the vintage there already exceed
that of California, and are confident
The average quality of the wines Is fully
equal to those of the Pacific Coast.
Every one owning a hot-bead, and
there is nothing to prevent any n
living in the country owning one, should
bear in mind hat by its use many
vegetables may be forwarded several
days in advance of the season. Beets,
for instance, sown in a warm bed and
transplanted to the open ground, may
be had much earlier by this method.
Use only the turnip-rooted varieties,
however, for forcing; the long-rooted,
kinds are apt to become forked and
covered with fbres. Lima beans. GU
cumbers, s1uashes, melons, ETC., plant
ed in inverted sods and placed in a hot
bed can be brought into use before the
regular season.
In planting trees be careful to pre-
serve the roots moist, and the tops will
IS a rule take care of themselves.
Many planters drop their trees where
they are to be set. and allow them to
lay in the sun and wind without any
protection, until they become seriously
injured. The moment they are I'M

must at once be "heeled in,"-in other
words, have the roots well covered in a

is ruinous to have the air circulating
freely through the delicate ibres, and
almost as much care should be taken
with the trenching as the planting.

If any farmer has gone through the
