If the colt endeavors to pull away AZ
ter the halter is on, you have to circum-
vent him BY little strategy Take
common clothes-line rope and make
large slip-loop knot around the body,
drawing it moderately tight, and pass
the end up between the front legs
through the halter. The reason for do
ing this is very apparent He cannot
understand how anything can pull tho
hind part of his body and his head at
the same time; and on feeling the strain
behind he will 90 forward and thus
you will accomplish your object with
out being compelled to use force. TAX
ing this rope in the right hand and
standing directly in front of the colt,
say, in decided manner, Come heren'
and at the same time pull the rope
sharply. The colt will invariably move
forward, and when he does so, caress
him. Repeat this two or three times,
until he will quickly move forward;
then say, Come here
Next, with the rope hitch him to the
manger or to a post, and, standing in
front of him, open and shut umbrellas
shake buffalo robes and beat tin pans
in fact. make rs much noise as possible
without touching him. OF course he
cannot think of two things at once,
and the rope tied around him behind
catches him by surprise, and he will
end by giving up trying to get away
when he finds that he is frecr from pain
when he is quiet and still than when
jerking his head. For a very nervous
horse put the rope as far forward rs
possible around the body. This treat
ment can be applied until he is thor
oughly halter broken. The same ar
rangement is the most successful one
in existence for halter pullerS, and is
also n most valuable assistant in lead
ing n horse behind wagon. How
many people are at their wits ends
continually when on long ride with \
horse tied to the carriage behnd-and
yet this simple invention would prevent
it all. and they would not be obliged to
even give the horse n thought.

4 NEGLECTED. Crop-Buck wheat.


Buckwheat is one of tho most valua-
bic grains, both for human food and for
feeding animals. 1t is only slightly in
fcrior TO rye in nutritious matter, hav-
ing much the same character rs a food.
and containing very nearly as mus>-
nutrment rs oats. 1t has an undt'
served reputation as productive of 81
diseases in animals, the straw especial
ly being considered injurious to pgG
which are Uttered with it. We have
never noticed am thing of this kind in
many years use of it, bat on the con-
trary have found this grain most use
full one, ana one of the easiest and
cheapest to grow. 1t is sown at con-
venient time, will produce a large yield
if it has good ground, and it is easily
thrashcd. When mixed with corn and
rye in equal parts it is one Of the best
feeds for horses COWS and pigs, and
for the popular cakes for the table in
winter it is unsurpassed by any other
grain. For these reasons every farmer
should grow an acre or TWO, ana pro-
vide a good piece of land for it. We
have grown seventy bushels to the acre
on good ground and in favorable sea-
son, but in the usual careless way in
which this crop is treated, twenty-five
bushels is rarely exceeded. The land
should be we'll plowed late in June; in
the South, August is early enough; and
a peck of seed to the acre is sufficient.
This is sown on the plowed ground,
and one good narrowing to cover the
seed is sufficient. The crop natures in
about ten weeks. and should be harvest
ed as soon as all the grain is set;
although some may be green at time of
cutting, it will rpen in the shock.

Importance OF cleanliness.

Keeping the pores of farm animals
open is as essential to their thrift as
bathing is to our health. The skin per-
forms an Office more essential TO life
and health than even digestion and it
is even more important that the horse
b. thoroughly groomed than that he be
fed. Thorough grooming does not
mean only the removal of mud and
manure from the hair with the comb;
it means that thorough brushing and
rubbing which viii clean the hide, re-
moving all obstruction from the pores.
Il is more necessary to groom the horse
than any other farm animal, because he
is the last to groom himself. Cattle
viii groom themselyc, to certain ex-
tent; yet there can be no more profit
able work than brushing and rubbing
them, though it is 50 rarely done. The
hog, rcputed to be the dirtiest of all
farm animals. is really the most clean
/ l.. and if allowed 10 DO SO will keep his
hide clean This he does by putting on
a coat of mud. This he scratches off
and with it remains the impurities
which have adhered to his hide and
which the wet earth has looscned.
Wallowmg not only contributes to the
comfort of swine. but is of the utmost
| importance TO their health.

careful attention to the skin, by occa-

cure. it is well that owners of horses
should exercise all possible precautions
to avoid the frequent disorders which
result from neglect IN the direction
pointed out, and thus save much an

TEXAS BLUE GRASS.

Mr.. ]. w. Frame, who owns a
farm near Maryville, sent to
Marion, Alabama, for package of
Texas blue grass seed. He is ex-
pecting to test it on his land. 1t
grows from sets or seed, but sets
are recommended as nestto begin
with. 1t will produce seed.t. first
season after planting. 1t is fan,
winter and spring grass, and will
grow in any climate, so the author
of it SAYS. Ifit is what it is recon-
mended to be it will be the very
thing for this climate; it grows all
winter. In that respect it is in
advance of the Kentucky and
English blue grass, which are
early and late grasses, and as far
south DIS this it would, if allowed to
grow tall, do for a winters feed.
This Texas blue grass is worthy
of a thorough trial, as there is no
country where it would be so profit
able to raise as in Tennessee. The
hills and mountains of Tennessee
can be made to support cattle and
sheep by the thousands If set in
blue grass, which can be done if
properly put in and protected until
thorough sod is formed. And if
the Texas blue grass does, as it is
recommended, it will be in advance
Of any grass in the south. In Ala
bama and Georgia, where it has
been tried, it is said to be a sue
cess.
What we need in this country is
grass, and there is no good reason
why large per cent. of the land
here will not produce it in abund-
ance.
The proprietor of this seed and
the sets ought to advertise it in this
paper, and then farmers will know
where to get it and what it will
cost.

reform in this State. / have re-
Gently been giving some time and
thought to the material wealth of
Tennessee, and while prosecuting
my inquiries find that when the
war cloud passed away it found the
Republicans in charge of the State
government with property subject
to taxation amounting to $2l4,546,-
2l1. The Republicans held the
power until 1871, when they turned

with an aggregate taxable value of
$287 1905 ,O2O, showing that under five
years of Republican rule the ma
terial wealth of the State had in
creased more than $72,OO0,OOO.
In January, 1871, the state gov
eminent went into the hands of the
friends of reputation, free trade,
State banks, and convict labor, who
were the opponents of protection
and progress, and after fifteen years
of progressively Democratic
craftsmanship they have at least
succeeded in intrenching convicts
firmly in our mines, to work in
competition with our honest, free
labor. They have provided for q
communistic railroad commission
and stopped investment in this line
altogether, but in this they were
overthrow in 1884 by the people.
They have succeeded by an exparte
settlement to compromise the State
debt for fifty and three, and to dis
grace the once proud name of your
Southern sister, and above all they
have succeeded in nlarchingi on to
glory in true Democratic style until
they have committed to us every
erroneous measure that could be
thought of for the last decade, until
to-day we stand, and unjustly so, as
the most "anti" people on earth.
We are anti-railroad, and anti.debt-
paying, anti-protectionist and anti
progressionist. Now, instead OF
having taxable property in the
State valued at $685., 9O5, $3.50, as it
was fifteen years ago, when the Re.
publicans Yielded to the incoming
democratic administration, it now
stands, without and excuse, except
incompetency and misrule, at the
humiliating figures of $226,S44, 1884,
show a sad falling off during their
stay at the State capital of $63, OOO,.
900. Just as certain as the war is
over, just as certain as the great
majority of the people Of Tonnes

Tennessee Democracy step down
and out when these figures are
made to appear clear to our people
But they say you Republicans had
the Governor for two years, in
1882. Yes, and the material
wealth increased during that time
more than thirteen million dollars
or exactly $13,52l, 435.
Tennessee is tired of being chained
to this old dead Democratic party
and of wearing the old cloak of free
trade, and being worked in the
mines with convict labor-and OF
receiving "fifty and three" in full
demands, or nothing. This is not

gentleman, but 1888 will be leap

She does not want to be considered
