To MEASURE AN ACRE.-Few farm
ers know the actual size of their fields
or how many acres they contain. A
field of the writer's, before it came
into his possession, had been plowed
and reaped by contract for Is acres.
On measuring it, it was found to have
but II acres. 1t is desirable, in fact,
indispensable for good work, that a
farmer should know how many acres
each field contains, for otherwise he
cannot apporlion seed or manure for
it, nor can he tell how much time it
should require to be plowed. A meas
uring cord should be part of the furni-
ture on every farm. To make one,
procure 67 feet Of strong rope, one
inch around make loop or fasten a
ring or a bar at each end, and make
these precisely 66 feet apart. This is
four rods. Then tie piece of red rag
in the centre. One acre Of ground
will be a piece four of these cords
(chains) long and two and one half
wide, equal to 16 by 10 rods, making
160 square rods to one acre. The ad-
vantages of the ring or loop is that
one person can measure alone by driv-
ing a stake in the ground to hold the
rope while he stretches it out. The
rope should be soaked in tar and dried,
which will prevent it from shrinking
when wet.

In Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend to Farm Without It.

CEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
y Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction of being one OF the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corhin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
now. Read it and do some thinking:
CHESTER, S. c., March q, 1890.
SAM M. GRIsT, Yorkville, S. c.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several wears, and consider 1t the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which / have any knowledge.
Mr.. Corbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac-
tical. No farmer can fai! to be benefited
by the use Of the Harrow, and the more it
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
1t is almost the only so-called improved
farming implement that / have ever seen
that would do all its manufacturers claim
ed for it, and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and a man who is able to buy fertilizers
for his land is more able to buy COrbin
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
the Corbn Disk Harrow will be consider
ed as much of necessity on the farm rs
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and 1 might say, the plow and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
It only takes farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things,
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu..
sion, let me say that would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the G GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had success
full rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion OF
someone who has had less experience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow OF
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same as the Corbin,
the only difference being in the disks.

SALT AND ASHES FOR ANIMALS.


This subject has been frequently
discussed hitherto, especially the use
of salt for farm stock. That all do
mestic animals do better where they
are constantly supplied with salt, I
am perfectly satisfied, from expert
ence and long observation. The only
case where il seems to do injury is
where cattle have been long without
it, and then giving them all they are
inclined to consume. I am willing to
own that it is temporarily injurious,
not because the article itself is bad, but
because of taking too much ut one
time.
The proper way to feed salt is to
place it where the stock can get at it
as they please, and take what they
are inclined to eat. Never mix it with
their food, so that they are compelled
to eat it whether they want it or not.
More and better butter can be made
from the milk of the cow when she
has full supply of salt, than one en-.
tirely deprived of it, and having an
irregular supply, and it also takes less
time to churn the cream.
Nature requires salt as an aid in pre-
serving health. 1t assists in digestion,
as well as in many other ways, which
l need not here mention. For cattle
at pasture Jumps may be laid in any
convenient place where board can
be fixed to shelter from rain, and still
allow the stock free access. At the
barn the Jumps can be placed under
the shed or some other convenient
and dry spot.
But oftentimes stock seem to require
an alkali as well, and that is most
conveniently supplied with wood ashes,
which horses, cattle sheep and swine
will greedily devour, when they have
an opportunity. These should also be
supplied where the stock can haye
access to them if desired. The ash.
es should be from good sound wood
and kept dry.
When desirable to keep cattle al
pature, and there is no shed to shelter
the ashes and salt, convenient
trough may be fastened between two
posts, on top of which are fastened two
planks or boards as a roof to shelter
from rain. The posts should be long
enough so that the trough may be
Is or 20 inches above the ground, and
there must be room above, between
it and the roof, to allow free access to
the salt and ashes. This answers for
all stock except sheep and swine,
which can have the troughs lower. l
believe that if a constant supply OF
salt and ashes is provided where all
kinds of stock can have access TO them,
very much less disease would be known
among farm stock. have never
known bots, collie or worms in horses
where ashses and salt were thus furn-
ished.

SULPHUR For PIGS.-It is surpris-

selves to it. When pigs are fed a
large amount of hearty food their
stomachs become disordered and they
need sulphur and charcoal to neutral
ize the acidity and to correct the con-
dition of their stomachs. When it is
given to them plentifully they will eat
better, digest more, and are freer from
bowel disorders. These correctives
help to keep the blood pure and the
skin free from affections. When hogs

Some time after, the doctor was

bill, he brought in charges for medi-
cine.

How He LOST HIS JOB.-An ex

When the Negro replied, ayes, boss y
the white man responded:
"Well, you see all that driftwood
floating down the river?"
ayes, sah," was the reply.
"Well, then," continued the white
man, "you row out in the river and
catch that driftwood, and I'll give you
half you get"
The colored man worked hard for q
while, when all of sudden he stopped
and pulled for the shore.
On being asked the reason for his
his return, he replied "Dat wood is
jest as much mine as It is his. I aint
gwine to give him any, and so I'm out
of work ag'in."

THE WILD BEAR,

A man who kept a tavern went to q
painter and inquired for what sum he
would paint bear for signboard. 1t
was to be a real good one, that would
attract customers.
"Fifteen dollars" replied the pain
ter.
"That's too much" said the inn
keeper; "Tom Larkin will do it fol
ten."
"Is it to be wild or tame ?" said the
painter, not wishing to be underbid by
his rival.
"a wild one, to be sure"
"With a chain, or without one p
again asked the painter.
"Without chain"
swell, I will paint you wild bear
without chain, for ten dollars"
The bargain was struck the painter
set to work, and, in due time, sent
home the signboard, on which he had
painted huge brown bear, of most
ferocious aspect. 1t won the admira-
ton of all the neighbors, and drew
plenty OF customers 10 tne lnn.
One night there arose very violent
storm of wind and rain, which led the
innkeeper to look anxiously after his
sign in the morning. There it was,
sure enough, swinging to and fro, but
the bear had disappeared. He imme'
diately hurried to the painter, and re-
lated what had happened.
"Was it a wild bear or tame one p
inquired the painter, coolly.
"a wild bear"
"Was it chained or not ?"
II guess not"
"Then," said the painter. triumph,
antly, show could you expect wild
beast to remain in such storm as that
of last night without chain? No
bear would have done it,"
The innkeeper had nothing to say
against so conclusive an argument, and
finally, agreed to give the painter Sl5
to paint him a wild bear with chain,
that would not take to the woods in
the next storm.
1t is only necessary to add that the
first bear was painted in water colors
which the violent rain washed away,
while the second was painted in oil
colors.

KIND TREATMENT OF HORsEs.-It
has been observed by experienced
horse trainers that naturally vicious
horses are rare, and that among those
that are properly trained and kindly
treated when colts, they are the ex'
ception.
1t is superfuous to say that gentle
and docile horse is always the more
valuable, other qualities being equal
and it is almost obvious that gentle
treatment tends to develop this admi'
rable quality in the horse as well as in
the human species, while harsh treat
ment has the contrary tendency
Horses have been trained so as to be
governed entirely by the words of the
driver, and they will obey and perform
their simple but important duties with
as much alacrity as the child obeys the
direction of the parent.
1t is true that all horses are not
equally intelligent and tractable, but
it is probable that there is less differ
ence among them in this regard than
there is among his human masters,
since there are many indictments and
ambitions among men that do not
affect animals.
The horse learns to know and have
confidence in a gentle driver, and soon
discovers how 10 secure for himself
that which he desires, and to under
stand bis surroundings and his duties
The tone, volume and infection of his
masters voice indicate much, perhaps
more than the words that are spoken.
Soothing tones rather than words calm
him if excited by fear or anger, and
angry and excited tones tend TO excite
him. In short, bad masters make bad
horses.
