Some counties in this section seem TO
have suffered quite seriously from the
weather during the month especially has
the severe storms Of hail and rain caused
damage
Clark county reports that the weather
was favorable up to the 18th instant.
when a most severe hail and ram storm
visited the southern portion OF the couh-
~, laying waste hundreds Of acres OF
wheat, beating into the ground and
greatly ,njurlng hay. fruit and gardens.
The correspondent further states that
he can count farms where the loss IN
wheat alone will reach from twenty-five
thousand to thirty thousand bushels, cut
down as ii a mower had passed over It.
Many fields OF corn will have 10 be
borrowed out and replanted. Many wheat
fields will be plowed up and put in corn.
Shenandoah reports that up 10 the 5th
and 9th the weather was favorable; on
these dates there were tremendous rain
storms, and left the land very hard and
dry until the 18th. when the county was
visited by soaking and dashlng rains.
Other counties report that the beginning
Of the month was unfavOrable. owing 10
the dry weather, but since cOpiOus rains
have fallen, benehtting crops very much.
Wheat, where not so seriOuly damaged
by the storms, is reported TO be looking
very well, although some complaint is
made by cOrrespOndentS that In is not
heading up very well. A good stand Of
corn is expected. Grass and oats are not
looking well. Augusta county reports
that very little clover hay Will be cut.
Stock as a rule, are reported In good
condition. Wythe county reports that the
dry weather has cut pastures short. and
consequently stock are not looking very
well. No disease reported, except some
cases OF distemper In Shenandoah county.
The farmers were generally well UP
with their wo'E, but the rains have
caused them 20 lose considerable time
in their corn. and in some counties a
good deal OF replanting Will be neces-
sary.

This section has also suffered from the
unfavorable conditions of the weather
during the month. Some counties report
the weather TO have been very dry and
cold. Dickinson county reports that uD
10 the 18th the weather was quite favor
able. when IL was visited by a snow
which covered the mountains TO a depth
OF six inches. ard the valleys were under
a cover OF two and a half inches.
Scott county was also visited by a cold
rain and snow.
The general condition Of crops Is not
at all promising In this section
Carroll county reports that wheat, oats,
and grass are short, owing to the dry
weather.
Scott reports that wheat is looking
very well. but the heads seem 10 be
dwarfed. Oats will not be more than half
a cron. Corn looks very well and has
a good stand.
Dickinson reports that wheat and rye
were broken down by the recent SHOWS

on the high lands was Injured very Sc
riously by the freeze.
Wise county also reports that snow
fell there on the 18th instant 90 the
depth OF about one inch but no serious
damage was sustained by the crops.
Stock are reported 10 be looking VIII

How Late Must We Cultivate Corn?

As to what stage of growth cultiva-
ton should cease can best be deter
mined by the season itself. 1t should be
borne in mind that in a dry season the
roots of corn go down and run deep in
search of moisture. and that as repeated
stirring of the surface tends to conserve
this moisture it certainly cannot be
otherwise than beneficial. In wet sea-
son, however, the feeding roots spread
out and run near the surface and lit
orally fill every foot Of soil between the
rows To cut off or mangle these roots
must, it is very evident, prove detri-
mental to the growth of the plant.
Where shallow and oft repeated Guilt
walton is practiced, it will be found that
the soil just beneath this loosened top
layer is filled with small feeding roots,
and that when cultivation ceases and
the plants shade the ground these small
roots will often ascend to within half
an inch of the surface, especially if re
peated showers keep the soil damp a
week or two. Long experience in the
growth of this crop and close observa-
ton of its manner of roofing have salts
fed a correspondent of American Agri-
culturist that shallow and often re-
peated cultivation is most effective in
inducing strong and rapid growth, and
that such cultivation is beneficial until
the plants completely shade the ground.

Saratoga county, N. Y, another breed
of large hogs, somewhat finer in bone
and carcass than the Jersey Reds, was
also produced Tor many years. The
crossing of these two breeds gave what
is now known as the Duroc- Jersey hog
1t has lately become popular in the
northwest. The true Duroc- Jersey has
long Hopping ears, a very long, deep
body, immense jowl and a comparative
ly small head. The tail is thick and
hairy, the color varying from deep
cherry red to yellowish red and brown.
The darker the red color the more the
hog is priced by breeders.
The Duroc- Jersey is perhaps the har-
diest swine i'll existence. 1t is said never
to have mango. 1t seems capable OF
growing as long as it lives. Pigs at 8
months old dress at from $50 to 800

In Edinburgh a surgical operation for
tumor was successfully performed on
the throat of valuable bull The tumor
was on the inside of the animals throat.
The operation was performed by Mr..
Williams, principal of veterinary col
lege.
The most profitable hog is the one fat
tened quickly and marketed at from to
10 months old. This necessitates begin
ming the fattening process early.
Let hog run on clover pasture to
furnish the heterogeneous groundwork of
his flesh. Then fatten him quickly on
diet of which -four fifths is corn. Root
crops, with steamed clover hay and
pumpkins, make up good remainder.
Let your hogs have free access to salt,
wood ashes and charcoal A mixture of
these in equal parts is excellent for the
health of swine.
There is constantly increasing de-
mand for mutton. One breeder has had
good success crossing Shropshire rams
on Cotswold ewes. The Down breeds
any of them-are good mutton sheep,
but the Southdown, in America as in
England, is the best of them. A cross
of Shropshire and Southdown makes
excellent meat and fine carcasses.

A spirited horse that can be approach

We never hitch up colt until, in
common parlance, he is broken--that is.
until he reins easily, backs up and starts
promptly at the word, stops instantly
when told and refuses to move for any

frightened by the crack of whip,
spreading an umbrella, drumming OF
pans or by having his heels touched
there is danger, and we don't hitch ul

This, again, takes time, but it is time
well invested. 1t saves broken harness,
carts, buggies, arms, legs and heads as
well as saves runaway horses.

anywhere. 1t is black or black and

Feeding by Electricity.

If it is fact, then that new inven-
ton by which cattle and horses are fed
and watered by electricity is one of the
most useful of the time. The stableman
has only to press the button, and cleo
tricity does the rest. We seem to be
nearing the actual state of things de-
scribed by Bulwer in his Coming

pounds The breed when full grown
averages 400 to 600 poands in weight.
Its disposition is gentle and docile, and
the carcass is favorite with packers Oh
account Of its great size.
The Essex is agreed on as the best so
called ''sty pig of any. The breed is
English. At maturity this hog weighs
from 400 to 500 pounds. He comes the
neares1 to being all body and no legs of
any pig extant. For slaughtering and
roasting i'll the young pig state the Es-
sex is superior to all the rest; also for
making choice ham and bacon for home
hse. The color is black without any
white at all. The ears at first stand up,
but droop as the animal gets older. The
carcass is "long, broad, straight and
deer" The Essex is fine grained,
small boned hog 1t is valuable, there
fore, to cross with larger, coarser grained
breeds. Berkshire and Essex cross we'll
together. For persons who raise only
three or four pigs at time and feed
them In p pen no breed is better than
the Essex.
One cause of the viciousness of the
mustang is the bad temper of his moth
er, the Indian mare pony. The stallion
of the Indian pony breed is good ma

before him, 20 it is crcdibly reported,
q sheet Of paper measuring ;.bout three
feet by four on on easel, and upon this
canvas he was invited to execute a char
coal drawing in ten minutca. The sub
jcct chosen by him was THE Pool
below London bridge, with the usual
accessories of the tower looming in the
background and barges and steamers
coming up the river on the floodtide.
So deftly did the artists hand trace
the design already recorded in his
brain that the whole picture was fin
isiied within tho very short space of
tiinc already mentioned. Aerial and
wave effects we read, were obtained
by rapid rubbing with the hand or n
cloth" 1t might naturally be expected
that drawing done under such trying
circumstances would be somewhat
''slzctchy," end no doubt the details in
it were rather suggested than careful
ly filed in; but the result was very fur
indeed from being o mere c,nudGc, and
the company of brother artists, literary
men and actors before whom the feat
was exhibited were loud in their
praise. Their appreciation indeed was
shown in the most practical of all pos.
siblc ways. for Mr.. Hardy's charcoal
