the proceeding, were necessarily omitted.
The following resolutions were introduced

Rruircd. That each delegate TO the State

Shall 1t be Primary.

Tho State Executive Committee has called |
a convention to meet at Columbia on the
18th Of August to determine whether dele
gates to tho State nominating convention
shall bc elected by primary, in accordance
with the demand Of the 3d section OF the
platform VI the March convention, which IS
as + llows:
We demand that the delegates to the
State Nominating Convention ehal he
chosen by primary election on the same day
that the other officers arc nominated, ana
that a the counties sl.a!! hold their primaries
on tho same day. to wit: tho last Tuesday
in August Of each election year.
We fully endorsed both the demand OF the
| Farmers Convention for primary and the
action of the Executive Committee in call
inva convention :" meet that demsnd. Our
only rcgrc, is that the committee did not net
sooner. Had the call fora convention been
| mrdc month or six weeks ago, much ol
the bitterness Of the present catnpalSh, III
onr opinion. would have been avoidci.-
How tho call will affect the action Of thu

we are not now ab tn say. There was ~
irrcgularity in tho call or proceedings

some noxious weed, but this can
hardly be, for the sense of smell of
the horse is so acute that blind
one will not take into its mouth any
noxious substance. Some attribute
the difficulty to their eating lobelia
infata; but horses will not eat it,
and have known them to slabber
when running in fields where it new
er grew. 1t is to be presumed that
the condition of the herbage has
everything to do with the malady,
as it prevails most when drought
occurs late in the season, and sell
dom in wet weather; but whatever
the cause, if they are confined and
put on a hay diet, the difficulty will
disappear.
[Of all the grasses and forage
plants of this latitude, we have OBJ
served none with a stronger power
of salivating than Dutch, or creep
ing white clover, (trifolium repens.)
The flow of saliva is sometimes
enormous, and the writer has known
horses grazing on this plant to be-
come very weak and emaciated. To
check this slabbering, salt and ashes
are sometimes used. The animal
must be taken off the pasture. We
have never seen other than equines
affected, but DR.. Phares cites the
case of a COW which was badly sali-
vated.-ED.]

LIVESTOCK LITERATURE.

DAYS an exchange: If we were
1N asked for the greatest factor In
the progress of improved stock
and improved agriculture, we would
say the agricultural and livestock
journals, for the communities that
have made the greatest progress are
the largest readers of such papers.
Now it is not that the editors of such
papers are better farmers and breed
ers, but they furnish the medium
for the leading progressive men to
give to others their practical views,
and the result of practical expert
ence. The editors arrange the mat
ter and print it. Half dozen such
papers are proftably taken by every
farmer, ana the enterprising, read

should clip rather than tear. The
skin should be thin. The size of
the kernel will be less in proportion
when the skin is thick. The color
of the oats is not very material, but
white oats are generally thinner in
the skin than black. Again, black
oats will grow on inferior soils.
Short, plump oats are preferable to
large, long grains. Bearded oats
must have an excess of husk. Oats
are not necessarily bad because they
are thin-skinned or bearded; but
they must contain less amount of
flour per bushel than thin-skinned
oats without boards.

Cookie Burrs killing Hogs.

Mr.. P. Montgomery, a Kansas
farmer, recently lost number of
hogs, and the manner of their death
led him to believe that cholera
was the cause. An examination of
the dead hogs, however, disclosed
the fact that the animals had not
died of cholera, but from the effects
of the cookie burr which the hogs
had eaten. The burrs were just
beginning to sprout and the old
burrs still clinging to the tender
shoots were eaten by the hogs.
Mr.. Montgomery has lost about
twenty-five hogs in this way. Sew
eral cases of the kind have been re-
ported in other parts of the country.

BRACING GATE POSTS.

OF all the inconvenience about
Il the farm, there are few more an
noying than sagging gates, while
a we'll balanced, nicely-swinging
gate is pleasure to the owner, and
q guarantee of welcome to the guests.
Gates, barn doors and fences are
certificates of character by which
the public estimate the landlord.
Among all the contrivances to Sc
cure good gate, none have been
found, in our experience, to surpass
the following: Dig the post holes
three and one-half feet deep, letting
the earth be level and firm at the
bottom. Use medium sized posts,
with good ends sawed square off.
We usually place the posts eleven
feet apart, although a wider gate
will not sag if set in this way. Fill
the holes with well tramped earth.
Take piece of hard wood, (locust
preferred) just long enough to fit
nicely between the posts, and six or
seven inches in diameter. A round
piece of wood is best. Dig little
trench deep enough to bury this
piece of wood three inches below
the surface. Set the posts perpen-
dicular, and no ordinary gate will
pull them over. The ground should
be high enough under the gate to
carry water away and secure good
drainage. Grave, or mill cinders or
pounded stone will make a good
roadbed for the approaches, SO that
no ordinary hauling will cut rut
deep enough to bring the wheels in
contact with the buried brace. Gates
on this farm set in this way have
been in use ten years, and now
swing so easily that a child large
enough to reach the fastenings can
