Agricultural Cultivating Corn. regressive Farmer. I totice what Mr. French says m your issue of the 24'h 1 farm mi7 just a little, but I try to prepare my laud before I plant m* corn or any crops. I have just bezan plowing mv corn the sec tic. time: it is now about twelve icwfees high. I have run the weedr pr if two times : it lias been pfcoted just thirty days. Now as to how I prepared my Ik ? J It was stubble laud sowed in peas. 1 plowed in January, aiv.at fourteen inches deep, run mc.<a subsoil after the turn plow. In'he spring when the ground * .ti good order I run what 1 r/?. my fifteen cent drag over il to rrush the clods. Then I applied e Vajht sprinkle of stable manure rvvr the poorest places, as I did i rt have enough to go over all. J i nly have about six acres in corn I call that a very good crop; a? I believe in making a heap on t* 2Ule laud. before planting, I drilled about ii'V pounds of 10?2 goods on my 'nvad and used about 150 pound* iv zuy planter when^l planted. 1 ?<ea one horse planter, asjjoui t: Ms are not large enough to use i m -horse planters, as Mr. Franc h buS^ests. I want to say to the farmers, p;y.r t. less, prepxre and cultivate better?all crops?and when we lr?i7u to farm systematically, at liS,* business men of.the State dc tkeir business, we will not only rtiake from i> to 1*2 n?r<?an* wp cat, make from to l'O.Jper rent r? farming, and pay labor more ttan we are paving to-day.

Shake the hay well out before i feeding. Do not compel horees to drink ! warm water. .\<> isrmer maKes money raifi! ing inferior horses. The cleaner the horses* shoulders are kept, the less liable they i are to become sore. Take the dirt oil the lees with a rae or soft brush, rather than with the curry comb. A horse, especially if he is ner 1 vous, is much more likely to be alarmed by the sound of a noise he cannot see than by the sighi of things he does not under stand. Get rid of the surplus horses 1 , . that are not growing into money. II ...i ?. i iiji-ii* i? 11'> jt?ivaniage in Ke,.epi ng enough extra horses to eat all that the useful ones earn. ' The farmer .vho lias his BurphiF capital invested in good horses has a draft which he can draw at any time. Keeping the pkin of the work horses clean, enables them to sweat freely and thus is essential to their health. It is not good policy to fore ? the growth of colts by giving them simulating foods and overfeeding them. The overgrown horse is sel dom a durable one. The origin of many diseases among horses can be traced direct ly to lilthv stables. It is therefore ' good economy to keep the stables crupulously clean. The mare that is suckling a ^ colt is doing a double duty and should not be required to perform as much hard labor as the other horses. All trouble in kicking, rearing and stubbornness generally ariseI'rom improper handling or not sullicient handling to adapt them to usnge. Von can better afford to starve your horses any other time than during the first year of their ex ' istence. A stunted colt seldom ' makes a well developed horse. i Treatment that may entirely break one horse of a bad habit I may entirely fail on another. !' lis hard to lay down rules that .ill work well in all eases. When possible to avoid, nevei give a lull draught of water 'I within an hour after feeding. The eHVd is to carry much indi' gested food intr? the bowels, pro'during serious disorganization ' thereof. The temperature of water f< r 1 j horses is not so much an object ' as the purity of it. While it i* ' 1 best to have the w iter c ?ol, it i 1 j more important to have it free 1 ' from all impurities. While horses may gain flesh l?y ' being cooped up closely in the stablep, they gain in strength. 1 I he tlesh thus gained is too often a detriment to their usefulness. To keep the feet in good conjdition, the shoeH should ho re! moved once every six months or oftener. The ruination of niuny horses' feet can bd laid to the carelessness or peniirionsncss of the owner in not getting the shoes reset often enough.? Live Stock Journal. Twenty Year Kattle.

I From the Congressional Record. I Mr. Gaines of Tennessee?Mr. j Speaker, 1 know that what 1 shall j read the Republican* will enjoy, , because it is entitled "When j Democracy Will Die."
