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.

Horse Notes.
By Shepherd.
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.

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

Poem. 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." An Old j
Hickory Democrat has put into
verse the following conditions
under which and the time which
Democracy will die:
Wnen the lion eats gra*s like an
ox,
And the fish worm swallows the
... I. - I .. .
\> little ,
When the terrapin knits woolen
nocks,
And the hare is outrun by the
snail ;
When serpents walk upright like
men,
And doodle bugs travel like J
frogs ;
When the grasshopper feeds on
the hen,
And feathers are found on the
hog-;
I When Thomas cats swim in the
air,
And elephants roost upon the
trees;
When insects in summer are
rare,
And snuff never makes people
snecz-i;
J When the tish creep over dr\ j
land,
And mules on velocipedes
ride ;
When foxes lay eggs in thcsand,
And women in dress take no
pride;
I When Dutchmen no longer drink (
beer,
And giris get to preaching oil
t i m e ;
| When the billy goat butts from I
the rear,
And treason no longer is
crime ;
When the humming bird bravs
like an ass,
And limburger smells like col
ogne;
When ploughshares are made out
of glass.
And hearts of Tennesseeans are
stone ;
; \V;:en sense prows in Republican
heads,
And wool on the hydraulic
ram ;
Then the Democratic party wil :
be dead,
And this country not worth a I
da mil,"
