PETITIONS TO THE GOVERNOR.

Petitions are being circulated through
Shawnee county asking Governor
Humphrey to call special session of
the legislature for the passage of stay
law. The petition emanates from the
Farmers alliance and is being circu-
lated in nearly every county in the
state. It is receiving the signatures of
a very large number of farmers, and it
begins to look as though the alliance
would make quite formidable showing
in demanding an extra session. Already
large number of these petitions have
been received at the executive Office
and the gentlemen who are engineering
the movement say that before the 18th
of the present month the governor Will
be deluged with petitions and will be
convinced that the farmers are in ear
nest when they ask that the lawmakers
be convened. The petition is in printed
form and reads as follows:
WHEREAS, The shrinkage in values
upon both real aud personal property
in the state of Kansas in the last two
years, has caused very great financial
embarrassment among the farmers of
our state, and in many cases the farm
ers have become unable, by reason of
these shrirkages, to prevent proceed
ings in foreclosure, which are increas-
ing to an alarming extent. We, the I'M
derslgned, electors of county,
Kansas, therefore, respectfully petition
your excellency to call a special session
of the legislature of Kansas for the pur-
pose or providing for the relief of our
farmers, by the Tassage of law giving
the mortgagor of homestead at least
two years in which to occupy, enjoy and
redeem, if possible, after sale of mort
gagged premises, and to provide also for
a stay of execution on all judgments on
promissory notes and mortgage bonds
for reasonable time after judgment,
without bond.
Another petition is being circulated
asking that special session be called
to amend the railroad laws and compel
the companies to lower their transport
alton rates.

ornamental.

Our correspondent "H" some weeks ago
suggested the plan Of ''cowpening" razor
backs in the orange grove for fertilizing
and other purposes. We demurred to
the plan on the ground that owing to the
naturalperversity of the animal he would
ignore the pea vines, etc., planted FOR him
and root up the orange trees. In the fol-
lowing article III explains his plan more
fully.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Will you allow me to say something
more about that suggestion OF mine, in
your issue of August 9th, and in reply
to your comments thereon.
You do not seem to notice what said
about the razor back, so will repeat it,
But ] suppose your razor backs may
be inclined to devour the trees, as well as
to cultivate them. Probably you would
need a different breed, and also to pro-
tect the trees?
Now my dear sir, where is the difference
in opinions between us upon the merits
OF the razor back? You say I evidently
have not the pleasure OF the acquaintance
of the Florida razor backs.
Correct again, although within the
past few months, have seen the "ani-
maP' in uncOunted numbers Yet I did
not try to get acquainted being unable
to see either pleasure, or profit in his &C
quaintance.
But [ think that some other breeds
have been advertised in the AGRICULTU-
RIsT. So that a better stock is obtain
able, even in Florida. [ had not the re-
motest idea OF advising the use of the
razor back.
But with regard to the fencing. Our
Western farmers find fence of four fence
boards and two barbed wires is sufficient,
using the hog-ringer whenever the hogs
are inclined to root too much, or make
holes under the fence.
clog jewelry'' is a very useful article
and with the proper tools, is quickly in
serted, Notwithstanding any muscular,
or vocal demonstrations, which his pig
ship may be inclined to make, and his
ways are greatly improved thereby.
Now as to protecting the trees. Drive
three or four stout stakes around
each tree and coil your barbed
wire around the stake from the
ground upward. fastening to the
stakes with staples. Not a great job.
And think that even razor back would
turn sadly away to mediate upon mean
cruelty, perhaps shedding a few tears,
mingled with blood probably.
Northern farmers have found the hog
to pay forhis feed, and got their orchards
cultivated and MANFRED besides. Now
why willno decent breed do as much for
you? Cassava would furnish a good deal
of their food l suppose. H.
