The Constitutional Convention.
Two bills are now pending before
fha lower house of the Legislature
providing for the holding of an cleo
ton for the calling of Constitutional
Convention. One OF them has already
passed. the Senate, having been intro
dnced into that body by Senator
Williams, tho other was introduced in
the House by representative Ridge
luy, but has net been put upon its
third reading. These bills arc about
similar In all respects, except the time
for holding the election. The Williams
bill likes and names the third Tuesday
of May, 1892. While the Ridgeloy bill
names the third Tuesday in May, 1891,
Il ycar sooner than is provided for in
the Williams bill Between the two
No prefer the Ridgeley bill for the sim
pic reason that larger vote will be
required to call a convention than ever
hafore In the history of the State. The
Constitution requires that tho vote

was held in November, 1899, while now
IT Ii stipulated that it shall be held In
May, a time when farmers throughout
tho State will be very busy planting
corn and other spring crops, and will

to the election.

there will be more voters qualified to
vote In May this year than there will

HIRE Is pointer for tho many Re-
publican farmers who are rushing into
the arms Of the Farmers Alliance :
Governor Tillman who was elected
Governor of South Carolina, by the
Farmers Alliance, was In Washington
few days ago when he took occasion
to say that the Farmers Alliance In his
state was formed for the purpose of
controlling the Democratic party in
that State, and upon national questions
It will support the Democratic ticket.
This is nothing new TO those who have
watched the course Of the Southern
Farmers Alliance organizations, but it
is something TO think over by those
gentlemen who are sanguine enough
to figure upon electoral votes from the
South for an Alliance National ticket
mex. year.

SAND AS BEDDING FOR HORSES.

White sand is a valuable absorbent Of
urine, it is cooling to the horses feet,
and may be moistened to remove the
feverishness of tender feet, and even re-
ieves the heat and tenderness Of founder.
1t prevents staining of the coat of light
coored or white horses, and it is an ad-
mirable means of thoroughly cleaning the
legs and feet by rubbing it up and down
in handfuls. 1t gives smooth and uni
form surface for the horse to lie upon.
An iron-toothed rake readily removes
litter and droppings, while few hand

RAISING PIGS IN A TOWN.

Raising pigs in towns and villages as
matter of profit is not advised, even
when not prohibited by the local author
tiles. as is quite often done On sanitary
principles. Even where horse and COW
stables are never objected to, the pig
pen is considered a nuisance in more
ways than one, and the householder who
values the good opinion of his neighbors
will do we'll to forego any possible profit
there may seem to be in raising pig or
two in town and let the farmers have it.
It is true that there is no domestic animal
that will turn everything that comes
within his reach into flesh and fat as
readily as the pig, and for this reason
they are probably the most profitable of
all farm animals to raise under ordinary
circumstances. Their quick maturity is
another thing greatly in their favor.
Where food has to be bought for the pur-
pose, however, raising pig is quite sure
to be Improbable. and for the little to
be gained from feeding the refuse of
the kitchen to a pig, the nuisance of his
pen near the owners and some other per-
sons house, as it must be in town, is
more than an offset to any gain that may
be derived from it.-Ne1o York World.

MERITS OF THE BREEDS.

There is not breed known to-day
that has not been written up as the best
that has appeared, and there is not a
breed that is so friendless but that a
champion in its favor can be found.
Every season we are astonished at the
performances of some new candidate for
public favor, whose merits so far outstrip
all other breeds that those who are I'M
accustomed to such descriptions believe
that all the breeds must take back posi-
ton and yield the whole poultry field to
the newcomer.
But it Is the same story, over and over
again. The new breed steps forth,
commands admiration, is given the high
est place, but soon drops from the head
goes down near the foot, and another
aspirant steps in to be king for a short
term, as the new breeds are faithfully
tested and given an opportunity to es-
tablish all that may be claimed for them
The fact is, however, that, while all new
breeds that appear really possess some
advantages, their admirers are not so free
to give their defects, leaving the farmers
to learn that, and as no breed is perfect
and none free from some drawback, it
will yet be long time before the"general
purpose fowl is discovered and given
the preference over all others. -Farna

What 1t Costs TO Murder in Tibet

had arrived at Kane in an evil hour,
in the midst of the festivities of the 18th
of the fourth moon, when the people
from far and near congregate there and
the chiefs review their men, and when
drinking and fighting are the order OF
the day. In Tibet nearly every crime is
punished by the imposition of fine,
and murder is by no means an expensive
luxury. The fine varies according to the
social standing of the yictim-120 bricks
of tea worth rupee brick for one of
the "upper ten," eighty bricks for per-
son of the middle classes, forty bricks
for a woman, and so on down to two or
three for a pauper or q wandering
foreigner, as Lieutenant Lu Mlng-yang
kindly informed me. He said that there
was hardly grown-up man in the coun-
try who had not & murder or two to his
credit, and later on Mgr. Biet, the Bishop
of Tibet, corroborated this statement

MULCH1SG YOUNG TREES.

Mulching young trees with manure and
coal ashes is beneficial to them, and in no
way injurious, if the mulch is spread
about the trees three or four feet from
the stem. But it is injurious if it is
heaped about the stem or placed in con-
tact with It, 1t then tends to injury by
keeping the bark moist and in danger by
freezing and killing the bark. 1t also
encourages mice, which are apt to gnaw
the bark and kill the trees. If there is
any danger of this, or by rabbits, the
trees should be wrapped in paper for
eighteen inches or so and close to the
grOund.-Neo0 York Tinaes

UNDERGROUND STABLES.

In arguing against tho use of under
ground stables, correspondent of one
of our contemporaries relates his observa
ton during the prevalence of epizootic
several years ago, when OK teams took
the place of horse teams in the streets of
large cities. He claims what is probably
true, that the disease was far more prev
alent IN dark, underground stables than
1t was in light and airy ones. But his
statement that in the country places
horses were not much affected unless
kept under unfavorakle conditions, is An
error, at least as far as some localities
were concerned. In some country towns
In Massachusetts, where horses were
kept in light and comfortable stables,
the disease was almost universal. We
remember a wedding in one of these
towns, where all the guests were drawn
by OK teams to the house at which the
ceremony was performed, because the
disease was so prevalent that no horses
well enough to be used could be OBJ
tanned. We have no favor for dark
stables, or those which are poorly ven

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Glover is one of the very best foods for
laying hens.
A hole in the shelter of stock wastes
feed just as truly as does a hole in the
granary.
An English correspondent advises that
tea leaves in a pan Of water be kept for
drinking places for bees.
Fifty-two eggs in year ought to pay
for the keep of hen, and ali that she
lays over this should be profit.
Sorghum seed makes one of the best
feeds for growing fowls, especially
when they are designed for early mar
ket.
Before any young poultry are Matched
out, care should be taken to see that
the rats about the premises are de-
stroyed.
The idea of cooperative farming
that is giving the workers a share of the
product-appears to be slowly growing
in favor.
Feed clover hay cut into small pieces
and soaked during the winter, and on
green clover during the summer with
their grain.
1t is important now to let poultry out
every day that the weather will permit
and to keep them confined when it is
cold and disagreeable.
A cheap remedy for lice ari foul air
in the poultry house is to mix quart of
coal tar to ten gallons of water and
sprinkle over everything.
Millet seed is a good feed for young
poultry as soon as they begin to learn to
pick up little bits of something to eat,
and ordinarily 1t is cheap feed.
Clean straw makes one of the very best
as we'll as cheapest materials that can be
used for lining the nests. 1t should be
changed often enough to keep clean.
Better be little early than little
! late. With poultry intended for early
market even few days difference will
often make considerable difference in the
profits.
Ducks should be laying regularly now,
but it is rather too early to set eggs for
Matching. Feed bulky feeds and see
that they are housed at night in a clean,
dry house.
Doolittle says: eff you wish large
yield of section honey keep prolific
queens and let the brood combs alone
after they are once filed with brood in
the spring"
| Many good breeders believe that roup
can be inherited; that hen once af-

WHY BREED THOROUGHBRED Fow1s9

WHY BREED THOROUGHBRED FowLsf
1t is conceded by all who are exper-
fenced in this line, that the mating to-
gether of the best of any stock repro
duces and perpetuates their good quail
ties. For instance, if he who breeds
fine horses wishes to produce those that
shall be noted for speed and endurance,
he selects as breeders those possessing
such qualities in high degree. Like
produces like" is law that always holds
good, end is never overlooked by the
successful breeder, for with whatever
animals his farm may be stocked, he has
vlval Of the fittest.
Generally speaking, thoroughbreds
will doubly repay extra care given them,
when the utmost diligence yields but
poor returns from mongrels.
Why do SC many complain of want of
success with fowls! One reason may be
that they forget that the above rule of re-
production should be applied to fowls
also. If fowls are bred with the greatest
care and with an aim to a desired quality,
will not success be the outcome the same
as in any other stock2
We have our answer in the great sue
cess OF poultrymen now over that at
tanned by the old-time farmer, who
argues that hen is hen, and one is as
good as another. OF course, some of this
success is due to better care, but what
would this care amount to without the
basis of good stock to build on2 Can
you breed good laying pullets from no.
toriously poor laying hens2
If you wish to make a success of
poultry discard the common fowls and
invest in few thoroughbreds, if you
have not already done so, and give them
the usual good care, and see if it is not a
paying business.
If you wish to breed the best market
fowls choose thoroughbreds that have
earned a reputation to please the most
fastidious tastes; if good layers are de-
sired, choose from those which for years
have been noted for this quality.
The Mediterranean family has a num-
Der of varieties that excel as egg pro-
ducers, the best of which are the Black
Minorcas. The Leghorns. white or
brown, are also good, but my choice for
years has beer the Minorcas, as their eggs
are larger, and they as breed, are not
wild; and since they are about twice as
large, the surplus fowls bring more in the
market.
Each must choose for himself between
the breeds that are desirable, and my ad-
vice is, says Willard Knapp in the
Poultry Monthly, from which the above
is taken, when you have fixed your
choice aim to get the best of the kind,
and see if your efforts are not amply re-
paid Farm, Field and Stockman.

1eep are the most delicate feeders of
ali domestic animals. When the weather
is warm they are especially liable to be off
feed, and unless their owner is extremely
careful they will be cloyed and refused
to eat as they should for several days
thereafter. Sheep do not need
ground feed. They can digest whole
grain better than any other stock except
ing poultry. But a portion of wheat
bran in their feed and whole oats will
greatly lessen the danger that they will
become cloyed.-Boston Cultioator.
