year | sowed a patch of corn thick ex-

the cattle did not eat near as we'll as that

true. My experience is that well ripened

kickin g.HorseS.

Kicking horses are a dangerous nui-
~sance, but they car frequently be cured
Of the habit 10y the Use of expedients and
exercise of patience. One lesson that may
take a good deal of time with a young
horse, and especially with a young mare,
IS allowing articles of any kind to be
1alacpd between its tail and its body. The
"Horseman' tells how this may be taught
as follows: First put en- a common crup-
per, and fasten it moderately tight to the
surcinge. The fore leg may be strapped
up if necessary for this purpose, and be
let down again as soon as all is secure.
Let the colt move round you and you will
soon see if it is going to be ticklish about
its tail IF it kicks let it kick as long as
it will, and when it will not kick any
longer slacken the crupper, SO that it will
drop three inches down its tail, and try
the colt round at that. When it will no
longer kicR,at tight or slack crupper,
tie piece of stout string as long as
your lounging line between the loose end
of the string in your hand, and tighten
and slacken the crupper with it as the colt
passes round you. When reconciled to
this, strap up the fore leg and take off the
crupper. Fold and secure a buster or
some such fabric round it, SO as to make
the part that goes under the tail three or
four inches in diameter. Then put the
crutter on again and try the colt with it.
II it kicks keep it going until it kicks no
longer. See that it is not too tight and
that there is nothing about it to make the
verr tender skin under the tail sore, so
that it may be kept on several days and
nights if necessary. 1t will have a greater
effect and be less likely to produce any
soreness and tenderness if the materials
under the tail, as we'll as its size and posi-
ton, are varied every day. The crupper
can be shortened and heightened so as to
touch different parts of the tail. On the
second day piece Of woolly sheepskin may
take the place of the buster, on the third
hay band, on the fourth loose cloth or
a wide piece of leather or sacking, and
thus continue something new until the
colt will take no notice of any harmless
thing, and will not pinch any of them
when placed under his tail.

Corn, Thick and Thin.

The Connecticut Experiment Station
cells attention to the fact, which may be
interesting to cultiNators, that grain in
general needs thicker planting on poor
taan on fertile SOIL and that the lodging
of grain results from the too crowded
growth when the plants shade each other
too much becomes watery, ana for this
reason manured piece of land may give
a less return thar a more sterile one under
certain conditions.
A series OF experiments was made by
the station to determine the relative value
of certain dent and flint varieties of corn
Both were planted at, different and meas
ured distances in rews four feet apart. The
UNEXPECTED result was reached that the
dent would bear clo-er planting and give
heavier returns from thick pianting
than the flint, although the dent was tai
Ter, larger, and heavier leaves, and larger
and longer ears The flint yielded the
heaviest crop when planted one foot apart
In the row, while the dent produced the
most with two stalks to foot. This pc
markable difference in favor of the thick
est planting forthe larger variety, was
ascribed to the continued seleetion of seed
of this particular .sub-variety of the dent
for the past fifteen years with q special
view to this superiority; and it sfords a
strong recommendation of the practice of
continuous selection with valuable points
In view. This continued reproduction of
plants from the seod. continuously produces
new varieties; bat this Improvement. Is
not to be expected In case of the potato,
which is net increased by seed bat only
from cuttings of the underground stems.

Corns stalks.

In travelling over this country some
weeks ago | was much surprised to find
farmers with large barns as empty as a
last years hens nest, the winds blowing
through every crack, when the fields were
full of corn fodder in the shock. In all
probability when it is to be hauled in it
will have to be cut loose with an ak to get
it. Such farmers will never learn the full
value of fodder until they try a different
way Of saving it. writes a contributor to
the Breeders Guide | will now give

Grasses For Swine,

One Of the most noted swine breeders of
the country once said that careful obser-
walton had shown that one acre of clover
is worth more than three acres of
wheat, and as much as two acres of corn
or oats for hogs. Blue grass is equally
good for early and late feeding. Take
good grazing hogs and by judiciously
feeding corn while on grass, you can pro-
duce pork from one and half to two cents
per pound. Grass not only furnishes
muscle and fat, but is rich in bone ma
terial, distends the digestive organs, and
frees the system of worms. Farmers
should raise hogs that are good grazers,
for as rule good grazing stock are good
feeders. This gentleman 1nce exhibited a
noted hog at the Indiana state fair which
was 8 good example of what clover and a
few ears of corn each day will do, Three
hundred pounds of his wheat did not cost
over four dollars. His grazing qualities
are only indicative of his feeding. When
he was fed fall, prior to exhibition, he
gained over four pounds per day. Stock
kept on dry feed for few generations are
not good erazers; the stomach becomes
too small to allow the taking in of large
quantity at once A correspondent of a
live stock paper inculcates the doctrine
that if you keep the stomach of the hog
properly ,distended summer and winter by
feeding bulky food, such as grasses in
summer, roots, bran and slop in winter
we will increase the grazing qualities OF
the hog and place them in condition to re-
sist disease. Western Rural.

is the one in which the genius of the con-
vention shows itself 1t reads thus:
''On and after the first day of January,
A. D. 1896, the following qualifications
are added te the foregoing: Every quail
fed elector shall be able to read any sec
ton Of the constitution Of this state. or he
read to him, or give reasonable lnterpre-
tation thereof A new registration shall
be made before the next ensuing election
after these qualifications are established"
II will be observed that the conjunction
or. not and, is used. There are thus pro-
vided two distinct and independent quail
ications, either one of which can be ap-
piled, according to the option of the cleo
ton judges. The objections to an ordin-
airy educational test were twofold. First,
it would disfranchise a good many white
democrats, and, second, it would stimu-
late the colored republicans who are still
in the illiteracy of slavery to learn to read
Either would be bad, from the Mississippi
pi point of view, and between them the
object aimed at would be defeated. But
this plan is a successful solution Of the
deer and miss it if it is calf.
'C Will suppose d COlOlCu Hic~u W pLC-
sent himself at the polls under this sys-
tenn. He is given a clause of the constitu-
ton to read. If he cannot read his bal
lot may be rejected on that account. If
he can read it then he may be asked to
interpret it and if his Interpretation does
not satisfy the judges then ais ballot can
be rejected on that ground. Almost any
colored man can be disfranchised under
such duplex requirement. But suppos
ing the would-be voter was white man.
If he can read then he can be accepted on
that ground, while even if he cannot read
he may be allowed to cast his ballot on the
score that he can give an Intelligent inter
probation of some clause Of the constitu-
ton. What could be more felicitious?
The only surprise is that the trainers of
the same should be willing to wait I'M
til 1896 before putting the same into oper-
alton.
The inventors of this new system of re-
stricting the ballot may find that the con-
stltution of the United States, as interpret
ed by tie supreme court, stands. in thei
way. That tribunal certainly ought to
put its foot down hard upon such device
to evade he plain intent and purpose of
the supreme law of the land.

Tie peanut vine is a plant similar to the
sweet potato. The most remarkable fea-
ture is that when the flower falls the stalk
supporting the small undeveloped fruit
lengthens, and bending toward the ground
pushes the fruit into the ground, when it
begins to enlarge and ripen. The pea
nut may be cultivated in northean gardens
by those who wish to witness the strange
habit of pushing the rod under the ground
to ripen, but the fruit will not come to
perfection, as it requires a long, warm
summer in which to develop. The peanut
is planted in the early part of May in
ground prepared as for wheat or corn, the
kernels being placed about two feet apart.
The crop natures In the latter part of Oc-
tober. when it Is gathered and put through
a sweat for about month The nuts are
then picked from the stems or main vine
by hand and are sent to the various clean
ing establishments to be cleaned and
