A correspondent of the Rura, NeU

ones at the side. so that when the gar
den is to be cultivated the side panels
can be removed, the land titled by horse,
turning on the outside of the garden,
and the fence restored.
If we were keeping but one mature
bull at a time, we would keep horse
power for him toexercisc in, and would
make him do all the wood-sawing, and
as much other work On the farm as
possible. Then we would never tie a
bull in dark stall by himself, but
would have him in sight of and with
the herd. Treat bull like barbarian
or wild animal, and he will very likely
develop into one. = Prairie Farmer.

Broonl-corn is considered native of
India. 1t is said that the first seeds
known in America were picked from
the straw of an imported broom, by
Benjamin Franklin, who planted them.
If true, it shows what important re-
suits may follow small beginnings.
From this, granting it to be true, has
grown the present broom-corn bust
ness, amounting to several millions of
dollars annually. 1t is still increasing,
and Is now one Of the best paying OF
farm crops.
Broom-corn has several advantag es
over Indian corn as farm crop. 1t
requires little, if any, more cultivation
to raise it than corn, if planted in land
free Of weeds; the harvesting comes
when there is little other farm work to
interfere; all the labor connected with
it is light; it is harvested and out of
the way before cold weather sets in,
and when sold it brings the money all
in a lump. During the last twenty
years, with three exceptions, it has
brought better prices per acre, in pro.
portion, than Indian corn.
The Connecticut valley was the first
place in the United States where it was
raised in any quantity as an article of

broom-corn growing spread westward
to Central and Southern Ohio, with
Circleville as the center. Now the
fertile prairies of Illinois furnish the
bulk of the crop, Chicago, Cleveland
and Philadelphia broom manufacturers
say that the finest and best brush come,
from the region bordering the Illinoi,
Central railroad, between Champaign
and Nation. Kansas and Nebrasks
are now beginning to compete with

DUBLIN, December 20.--Joseph
Richard Cox, jeremiah Jordan and
Joseph Edward Kenny, Parnellits
members Of East and West Clare and
South Cork, respectively, succeeded
yesterday in totally hood winking the
police and in collecting aud escaping
with all the rents due from tenants on
the Vandeleur estates in County Clare
Tney went to Kilrush on Friday
last. 1t was known to the police that
they went there to act 40 trustees I'M
der the "plan OF campaign" to collect
from the tenants of the Vandeleur es-
tates the reduced rents refused by the
proprietors. The hoites, how
ever, could not ascertain the nature Of
the arrangement to be carried out
between the tenants and trustees aud
were led TO bslieve that the tenants
were to assemble at Kilrush on Sun
day and band in the rents. The
police accordingly were kept on the
alert and we're instructed 10 watch for
the arrival OF the tenants and to arrest
the trustees and secure the money
when it had all been handed
in. The trustees, after having secured
the police on this tack, appointed
three places of rendezvous outs de the
town OF Kilrush, and managed to have
all the rebellious tenants instructed to
go to the proper places On Sunday
il showed very hard in Kilrush. The
trustees left their hotels separately,
went esch to his appointed rendez
vous, collected the rents, returned I'M
observed by the police, and closed up
their business without attracting any
suspicion on the part Of the authort-
ties, who continued TO watch for the
assembling OF the tenants at Kilrush,
aud finally concluded that either the
rigor OF the police arrangements or the
severity of the storm had prevented
the arrangements from being carried
out As a result, the trustees were
enabled TO get away unmolested with
all the rents, and some OF the county
Glare authorities are yet In doubt as
to whether the Vandeleur rents were
certainly collected yesterday, or
whether the statement that they we're
is not pert OF strategem to throw the
police OF their guard against a post
poned collection.
