And to prevent the heat of the stove from radiating too sud-jiu all life and growth, and yet, denly and overcoming the baby it will lie hour after hour behind the kitchen stove in the noble endeavor to ahsord the heat. 8uch being its noble qualities, and its useful services it is not strange that it is highly prized by man and that the Legisla ture of the great State of Indiana, the wisdom of the State gathered from all sources within its bounds, should see fit and proper to protect it by law. I have known men to let the baby cry in the cradle and pick up the dog and fondle it. I once saw a man return ing from his day’s work. As ho en tered the yard his little girl ran out to meet him, with a smile on her sweet face, mutely asking for a caress. He shoved her aside and stooped down to pat the head of his “yallerdog” that ran out to meet him. This is a fact, and shows how dear the dog is to the heart of man. I know of a another man whose tax this year was $C.16. Five dollars dog tax, and the balance personal property tax. His children had nof shoes but you could not have bought those dogs for five dollars a piece. A dog will eat as much as two children, and I have known men to keep two fat dogs, while their child ren were hungry and half clothed. I believe there is many a man who would rather lose his wife than his dog. And yet in.the face of all these facts there are persons ready to blame the Legislature of Indiana for passing a law to protect the dogs—those valua ble members of society and beloved fily-^in tlreir 1111*7 liberty sheep. Those who oppos«‘ffio law do so because it protects dogs in their favorite pastime of killing sheep. It is certainly strange that any one should object to this service of the dogs. No act of their life is more replete with thrilling adventure, conceived with more daring and bravery, than a mid night raid upon a flock of tierce rav- “P* 1 ,louse enous sheep. It is true that dogs kill a few million dollars worth of sheep each year; but this gives stimu lus to the sheep industry, healthy ex ercise to the dogs and a healthy tone to the canine system. He is certainly a heartless wretch who would deprive the dogs of this healthful and invig orating pastime, and if he had the op portunity would be a more tyrannical despot than the Czar of all the Rus sians. It is further urged in objection to this law that itwasmade to indi rectly benefit the sportsmen of this State. I do not deny this. That it is true is appoarent. But do not these sportsmen need something for their benefit? Should they not be fostered by the State? Certainly they should and when they are no longer able to throw a man’s fence down and scare half his cattle out of a month’s growth the State ought to pension them. No gentlemen, you ought not to object to this law. The sportsmen and their doings must be protected, if every durned sheep in the State goes to the dogs. 1 has multiplied into a round half ; dozen.

Southern Cultivator. The writer, in saving feed oats, commences to harvest when they are in good dougii or about half ripe. It never makes any difference with me, as to wet or dry weather, when I am having them cut, I stop only dur ing a shower, I have them tied and putin shocks of one dozen bundles, keeping up with the cradles. If the weather is fair, I cap them at the same time. If wet I let them stand till they dry oft’; and then I don’t cap them unless there is appearance of more rain; and keep them so, although the caps are fitted when first cut, and could be taken off when the'sun shines out, and replaced when there are indications of rain. I never let them remain in the field longer than ten to fifteen days if weather is suitable to haul them to the barn. It is a good idea, after a wet spell, when the-w^Atlior-i* -feiVi- t-e--seaiUw-ftttd h?t- j a shawl over her, or coddles her to 1 death as man has to be coddled under such circumstances.

The more wrinkled the seed of su gar corn and English peas appear the better the variety Is said to be. It is well said that a thorough break ing of the soil and a free use of the rake In preparing the soil will do more for a crop of vegetables than double the amount of labor in after cultiva tion. Vegetables In a light, sandy soil require a groat deal of moisture, and where the weather threatens to be very dry, gardeners should forestall the event by using mulch as far as practicable. Celery seed should not be sown too thick. Half an ounce is enough to sow 48 square feet and will yield about 2,000 plants. Room gives stocky plants, and these are always the best. “Neutral stock” is the term a Chi cago rendering establishment applies to a quality of lard which it prepares and sells for making country butter. Our readers will bear in niind that this is not oleomargerine, but a new variety of Western country butter. To keep up a constart supply of fresh crisp vegetables, such as always command the best prices, they should be planted in succession every ten or fifteen days. Orkra, tomatoes, snap beans, lettuce, radishes, green corn cucumbers, squashes, egg plants, pep per, etc., may be hail young and fresh until midsummer hy these plantings. There is economy in laying out the beds of a garden that should not be over-looked. A grape trellis in the centre, |ustead of training the vines along one. side near the fence, is a perpetual hinderance to orderly ar- them sun after the dew has dried oft’. But they should be siiocked in the evening. It is highly important that that they should be housed perfectly dry to keep them from moulding. When T get ready to haul them in I commence on a fair, sunshiny day, about eight or nine o’clock, to tear down and scatter what I can haul the remainder of the day. Now for haulihg and storing away in the barn. I commence by placing the butts in the back end of the barn, of the first bundle. I then place the next bundle with the butts in an op posite direction, always keeping the heads together, though well tapped back as far as the tie, and the butts togetiier. As soon as one tier is run across to a height that is inconvenient to reach or place them well, com mence on the floor hy placing the butts again, never forgeting to cap the heads well. The barn can he filled full, if some one gets upon the top of t lie pile and has them thrown up to bo put in place. The bundles should never be crossed and piled, but made to fit smoothy and evenly on the top. If the Cultivator farmers will follow this plan one year, I guess that you will hear no more discussion among them about rat proof barns to save oats from the destruction of rats. In feeding them out of the barn it is best to always take them off the top. They are packed down so close and tight it is impossible to get them from any where else. An Exhort er in Trouble. Arkansaw Traveler. A well-known planter of south Arkansaw, a man who has exhorted at more revivals than any worker in the State, had trouble last week. While hauling cotton along a muddv road one of the steers broke the yoke and ran away. The old follow sat down on a log and said: “Lord, you know pretty well what I have done for the church, and how many privations I have stood without a whiinperof complaint. If you have observed me very close, you know that I never said a word whu>r Mty Tcrrccs~xvcre _ w7rsh'f , Tl jrwrty,“'JvnTt‘ even when Josh Chandler beat me in a law suit I did not murmur, but now, after consideration, I am compelled to say something. Damn tliat steer! I think under the circinstances I am excusable. Very few men would have stood as much as I have, especially a man whose wife is in a flout half the time, so I submit the question: Don’t you think that I am justifiable in the course I have this day taken? Here I am, stuck in the mud. By the time I get another team the boat will bo gone, and I’ll have to leave my cotton or haul it back home. If I leave it on the bank somebody will steal it, and if I take it back home, Anderson will catch it with a mortgage. So, you see, I am peculiar ly situated, and am before any court in the world, or out of it either, justi fiable in remarking, Damn that steer.” Speer’s Portugal Grape Wi!

Httick’s Ukfkkmented GaAra JczcKlis the “Two tons of sweet potatoes contain twenty pounds of potash,” says Sir.J. B. Lawes, “ and I can grow this quantity ever year without applying potash, but no more. It is no use to apply ammonia or phosphate, as the potato mnst have potash.” And, in regard to nitrogen, he says: “I see that you are getting good results witli nitrate of soda on corn. If this sub stance will not produce a marked effect on corn there is no truth in the science of agriculture. Some of your soils have a sufficient amount of nitrogen: others have not enough but with nitrate of soda you may grow 60 or 80 bushels per annum for as long as you please. Whether it will pay depends upon how much nitrogen you must use. The Peshlenl’sNew Team. Washington 8'p eciaI - The new team of the President ar rived late last night.
