HORSE SCRAPS.

Quality first-Other points after

A Colorado breeder lately refused $50
head for 100 young mules Just weaned
from their mothers.
Let the first gait into which your colt
is trained be brisk walk-the best and
most important gait he will ever
learn.
Don't allow a horse which has been
heated with driving stand hitched even
live minutes in these raw winter DAYS

1t is alleged that the nit of a bot may

A fine hOrseman who is also a poul-

grain as a cock and forty hens.

No Prohibition this Year.

A great many people seem to
think that there is a direct vote in
Tennessee this year on the prohibi
ton question. This is a mistake,
for the vote on the constitutional
amendment cannot be reached until
long after the meeting of the next
legislature. The only test now be
fore the people is to elect members
to the 45th general assembly who
are willing to allow the people to
vote on the prohibition amendment.
A man need not be prohibitionist,
high license man or even a tenn
perance man, in advocating the
constitutional right of the people to
say what is their will, at the ballot
box. The following resolution has
passed both houses of the present
legislature: In the senate the vote
was 20 for; IL against. In the
house, "a for; % against. The res
olution must be passed by a two
thirds vote in each house OF
the next legislature If passed by
the above two-thirds vote, then it is
to be approved by vote of the PEG
pie. The bill as passed reads:
Be it resolved by the general as
sembly of Tennessee:-That the
following amendment to the consti-
tuition of the state of Tennessee be
and the same is hereby proposed:
To add as section 10 to article XI,
of said constitution the following:
mo person shall manufacture for
sale, or sell or keep for sale as a
beverage, any Intoxicating liquors
whatever, including ale, wine and
beer. The general assembly shall
by law prescribe regulations for the
enforcement of the prohibition
herein contained, and thereby shall
provide penalties for the violation of
the provisions thereof"
Resolved, further, That the fore
going proposed amendment be and
the same is hereby referred to the
legislature to he chosen at the next
general election for members of the
next general assembly, and that
the governor or other proper Off
GERS shall cause the same to be pub
lished for six months previous to
the day of said election, as provid-
ed by law.-State Gazette.

Hyrneneal,


On Dec. "a, at the residence OF
Rev. B. B. Roberts, Mr.. Jno. D.
Stamper of Eagleville, Tenn, and
Miss Emma E. Roberts were united
in marriage by Rev. H. G. King.
Too much cannot be said in com
mendation of this interesting young
couple. The groom is a highly re-
spected citizen and successful bus
mess young man of Eagleville, and
will we trust not lessen the happi
mess of..the fair one whose hand and
heart he calls his own and for
which he has paid a dear price.
The bride, the lovely and beautiful
Miss Emma, is one whose praises
have been on the lips of all who have
known her. The circles in which
she has for a few years reigned
queen will Low miss her hewitching
and ating demean n, and many
a gallant young beau will grow sick
at heart when told "MIss Emma is
married." Always obedient, truth
full and loving to her parents and
L6Qu6E anu dueCllOuSS0 W utT
brothers, she will by them be great
ly missed, but possessing traits SO
endearing to her parents and broth
ers will be better for her to make
a companion in the truest sense to
the one with whom she has cast her
lot.
Also on the evening of Dec. "a,
1885, at the beautiful mansion Of
Mr.. James Tidwell near Wales, Mr..
Will Morriss, recently of Nashville
but more recently of Giles county,
Tenn and Miss Sallie Tidwell were
united in marriage by the Rev. II.
G.. King. Mr.. Morriss, we learn, is
a young man of sterling worth,
temperate, industrious, and honora
BILE and well observes the .beauti-
full one whom he has succeeded in
winning. The bride is young
lady of sweet and gentle disposition
possessing all those qualities
to make home ATTRACTIVE and pleas
ant for noble young husband.
We wish them long and prosper
GUS life. The above should have ap-
peared much sooner. X.

for the purpose. The usual mode
adopted by the city engineers is to
have salt sprinkled in the road and
the slush thus created swept into

of the salt used, of which a large
supply is kept on hand in each sec

one thousand tons was used for the

Children who have a little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls of to-day hardly
know higher use for any money than
spending it for some foolish thing az
quickly as possible. To such lesson
in self-denial and economy Is very i'm
portant. AS go the boys pennies and
dimes so very likely will go the man g
dollars and hundreds by and by. With
out the saving.spirit Of miser, the per-
son who is accustomed to save has
more pleasure In laying up than a
spendthrift ever knows. The way to
keep money is to earn it fairly and
honestly. Money 30 obtained is pretty
certain to abide with its possessor. But
money that Is Inherited, or that in any
way comes without q fair and just
equivalent, is ismost certain to 90 as it
came.

1t is said the average northern man
will live on the waste from a southern
mans table. Whether this is true or
not, we know there is,not enough sui
fcient economy practieed by our peo-
pie. We fail to use to best advantage
what we have. Southern women I do
not aim to be wasteful or extTavagant,
but they do not understand the princi-
pie of economy as practiced by the wo-
men of the north. If cooking schools
were instituted, they would prove OF
great benefit to our people. We don't
know how to prepare proper diet from
the material we have. If we but UNI
derstood this, the cost Of living would
be greatly reduced. With proper man i
agement in cooking the cost Of living
would be less. For proof, we refer o
old soldiers who were forced to study
the subject. We should remember the
trite saying, ga dollar saved is dollar
made. "=Humboldt Messenger.

A person struck by lightning
does not know it, the fluid being
much quicker than thought. The
nerves which convey pain are rath
er slow in their power to convey in

animal gives his opinion of the
man or boy at the end of the ner-
vous system on trial. Lightning
does its work Before the victim

struck while taking refuge under a
tree. Both were carried into the
house and laid out for dead. One
of the men revived and after weeks
Sf suffering and infrmity, he got

hardy, less liable to disease, better
able to pick their own living on the

these reasons the Angora goat

A short time ago 1t was quietly
announced that England had added
Burmah to her eastern possessions.
The acquisition was made after a
short war in which a few soldiers
we're sacrificed and little British
gold expended.
The event created such a little
stir that the world scarcely oom-
pretended what vast addition
was by this means made to her ma
jesty's eastern empire.
Burmah has an area of 100000
square miles and 100000 population.
1t is one of the most fertile coun-
tries on the globe, producing cot
ton, grain and all kinds of tropical
fruits, and its mountainous region
abounds in minerals and precious
stones.
The country is almost eight times
as big as Texas and nearly two
thirds of the whole United States.
1t was originally as large, but Eng
land has before Topped off some of
its provinces.
Burmah has until now enjoyed
national independence dating back
to SAB B. c., and in the last centu-
ry it was considered the most pow
erful nation in South Eastern Asia.
Yet we read about the English
aquisition as most commonplace
matter, aud deem 1t nothing strange
to hear the British speak of those
Burmese who resist their usurpa-
ton as rebels.-Chronicle.

The tide of immigration, the in.
crease of population, the invention
of labor-saving machinery, the in
creased facilities of transportation
by land and by water, the unset
Ting of the labor interests in man
nfacturing centers, the increased
value Of farm lands and the divis-
ion and subdivision of estates,
bring us to a time when
BRAINS AND EDUCATION
are needed to harness the limited
resources and make them contribute
to the success of farm life. The
time is now here, in our own state,
when beginner, to be successful
on a small farm, must know how to
put the soil into the best condition
mechanically tor the growth OF
farm crops, he must know some
thing of what is needful-in the way
of plant food for the well-being of a
particular product, and when aud
how to add any needed element at
the least cost, he must know how
to select each plat of ground for the
particular product he wishes to
grow on it-he must know how to
prepare the soil for the reception of
the seed, how to plant, how to till,
how to harvest and how to market
the product so as to receive the best
return. He must know what crops
are best to follow each other, and
the needed change supplies and
witbal how to save the most to the
soils fertility and yet receive the
largest reward for his labor. If he
is favorably situated so as to grow
frnits-then he must know the best
varieties and the right soil and the
best tillage and care to get the best
results, and how to market. If
STOCK BREEDING
Is to be a part of his business he
must know how 50 select, how to
feed, how to breed and how to care
for them every way to get the best
returns, and so on in the various
branches of agriculture.
The successful farmer of the fu-
ture can't rely on broad acres to
make up for Encouragement and
run downness." To fail of success
in the management of the small
farm, with sharp competition and
low prices, Is to lose the home on
short notice. The knowledge Of
how to do and why lies deep down
in the elementary principles of ag-
riculture and in the object Lessons
of every day farm life.

AGRICULTURAL PAPER

IN my knowledge but what is worth
many times the subscription price
If the editor but uses the scissors
and paste pot, he can hardly fail to
give his subscribers their moneys
worth. Every farmer ought to
take an agricultural paper in his
own name and have other publica-
tions sent in the names of his sons
as soon as they can read well. We
name the following books that will
be of an especial value to read care
fully: "The Peoples Farm and
Stock Cyclopedia," by Waldo +.
Brown, a farmer, "Warring's Chem
istry of the Farm" "Plant Life on
the farm and Prof. Johnson's
"How Crops Grow" and "How
Crops Feed" the latter is rather
strong meat.
Another important means is the
organization of agricultural socie-
ties and clubs like this, and others
with the addition Of farmers sons
and daughters. They need to be
present at the meetings and their
presence is Of more Importance
than that of their fathers and moth
ers. To my knowledge there have
been discussions in this body of
practical questions in agriculture
that were worthy of worldwide
publication.
In every way let US strive to adj
vance the
STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE IN FARM
LIFE,
in what we are and what We pro-
duce. 1t is well perhaps to direct
attention briefly to the distinguish
ing difference existing to day In this
calling. The relatively large pro-
portion that hardly make living
and who are crying out as the CON
dition Of things described before
begins to pinch, the numbes that
live by tricks and meanness, stint
ing themselves and family to accu-
mulate property, and the small
number comparatively who with
broad views of life are able to
command the forces about them
and make them contribute to their
success without trampling upon the
rights Of their fellows, accumulate a

ELEMENrARY PRINcIPLEs


To some extent they are taught in
our industrial schools, but the sur
roundings serve to educate away
from the farm. We do not need ag-
ricultural schools with agricultural
heads on them, bodies and limit s,
not literary heads with no expert
ence or taste for, or knowledge OF
farm life. We have no faith in such
heads and wide-awake farmers have
little faith in them.
The elementary principles of ag-
riculture must-some time in the
future-be taught in the common
schools. There is abundant scope
In the study of these principles for
the expanding and development of
the young mind-for the training
of the mind to think, with a practi-
cal side to it as well, a side that
will serve better purpose in the
sharp competition of practical life
than some of the studies listed in
the curriculums of colleges and uni
versities that we could name.
We need to educate farmers sons
and daughters for their special
the reason that the flu
ture prosperity, perpetuity and sta
bility of our institutions will very
largely depend upon this class, as
we verify believe,
In the absence of wide spread
provisions for special education, as
outlined, we suggest some Of the
means necessary to the end in view,
viz: The reading Of agricultural
books and papers-we know there
IS prejudice against "hook farm
ing," but it is getting to he known
that our agricultural books of the
past few years are a credit to the
calling of agriculture. Practical
men, farmers, are coming to the
'front.' in both books and periodicals.
