Unhealthy Occupations.

The ancient man or woman who
pounded wheat between two stones
knew nothing of the trouble that was
in store for the miller of today. Mans
breathing apparatus was made to uti-
lie pure air, charged with q minimum
of dust. When n man lives in an at
mosphere in which -four dust floats
about In large quantities there is bound
to be some part OF his organization get
clogged up. While workers in acid
works are liable to have their teeth
soften, and they wear away in year
Or two If not protected, artisans in mills
where metallic dust Is in tho air are
very apt to engender diseases that will
be chronic, if not speedily fatal.
The miller is generally an unhealthy
individual, unless he be OF the old tins
sort, who used to ride about the coun-
try during three parts of his working
hours and spend only little time within
reach of the dust from his mill stones.
1t is not to be supposed that man will
ever be able to get along without the
miller. Such being the case, it is to be
hoped that something more will be done
in the near future to protect his lungs
while at his work than has been accom-
plished hitherto. Journal Of

In conversation with Judge Joseph
Cox, who is very pleasant talker and
full of anecdotes and information, he
said: oI was talking to Gen. w. T.
Sherman, several years ago, about rid
ing horses and mules, and he said:
Cox, a mule is the easiest animal to ride
in the world. I always preferred to ride
one during the war. In 8 picture rep
resenting the burning of Atlanta the
artist has me seated on fiery steed,
with fury in his eye, etc, while the
houses are burning and the sol
diers are tearing up the railroad iron.
Well, was there; but I was not on a
prancing horse, but was straddled on
plain, common, everyday mule. :"
But of course it would ruin a historical
picture to put a great general on a mule
instead of a fiery charger.--Cincinnati

Points IN Corn Culture.

Experiments made at the Ohio Agri-
cultural station during past seasons
throw considerable light upon, if they
DO not entirely settle, some points in the
cultivation of corn about which farm
ers are not entirely agreed either in the
DRY or practice. As cultivated at the
station the following appears to have
been pretty well established As class
the large yellow dent varieties were the
most productive. Large white dents
take second place. In the flint varieties
the large white tlints take the lead, fol-
lowed by mixed flints, and these by yell
low fints. Taken as whole or rs indi-
vidual varieties the flint corns are not
profitable class for Ohio lands unless it
should be in some of the northern Sec
tons.
In seven years experiments in deep
shallow planting the average results
show an advantage in favor of planting
one inch rather than two inches deep.
The greatest amount of marketable corn
was produced where the stalks averaged
twelve inches apart; the variations in
yield We're slight, whether planted one
grain every twelve inches, two every
twenty -four. three every thirty-six, or
four every forty-eight inches. Three
years trial has not indicated any
marked differences in the reproductive
qualities of corn from the butts, middles
or tips of the ears Whenever any vari-
alton existed it was in favor of middles
and tips and against the butts. The
average results of two years expert
ments favored deep cultivation rather
than shallow, and indicated that corn
should be cultivated more frequently in
n dry season than in wet or ordinary
one

Artificial NIanares.

The following deductions are drawn
by The Mark Lane Express after ex-
haustive experiments with artificial ma
nures:
Phosphate alone, for any crop, is mad
equate, and farmers should abandon the
use of superphosphate by itself. Nitro
gen alone is unreliable for any crop.
Phosphates and nitrogen together with
potash sometimes addeD are more bene-
fetal to grain crops chan most people
imagine. For root crops, fertilizers con
tanning phosphates, nitrogen and potash
give far the best results. For grass, ma
nures containing phosphates and nitro
gen sometimes with + otash) are the best
kinds. Dat and pots to crops can be
enormously increased by the use of the
proper fertilizers.

Directions for the Shooting of Farm Horses
and Nrulcs-When and How Colts Feet
should BE Treated-Advantages of the
Flat Shoe Without Calks.
The conditions on the farm are so diff
ferent from what they are in the cities
that the subject of the care and shoeing
Of the feet of farm horses demands u
place and study of itself. Although it
is fact that the character of the work
on the farm, the soft ground on which
the horses have to tread, and the free
dom from accidents ought to give farm
horses almost an immunity from lame
ness, yet it is true that a considerable
percentage of them are either lame or
suffer from more or less deformity OF
the feet or limbs Much of this may be
unavoidable, but there is wide margin
which is due to improper treatment or
neglect of the feet. Professor R. R.
Dinwiddis gives the following hints and
directions on the subject which we re-
print for the benefit of our readers from
the Rural New Yorker.
