The fli-xt Fourth of .lulv. therefore,
while greeted with shouts of Joy. was
also a Very serious one for those who
looked beneath the surface, liul the
petty oppressions and claiiiorin ;s for
freedom of tell years had trained the
people lo n realization of the respon
sibilities they were taking upon them
selves, and they accepted their lcc
l:i i':i I inn of Independence with unflinch
ing approval. The sacrifice was to be
great. The enthusiastic patriots of
Philadelphia, wtio rang their ehtireh
bells so merrily on the nth of July.
177i. were soon to see their homes oc
cupied nnd ransacked by the enemy,
while In less than two mouths New
York was to be In possession of the
ltritish troops.
In that tlrst year of independence,
the 1 leclaration was celebrated at va
rious times according to the rapidity
with which news could travel. The
yniing men of New York, aided, as we
may infer, by many of their enthusi
astic elders, made the first Fourth
memorable by tearing from its pedestal
the equestrian statue of tieorge III.,
which had been placed in Howling
t'.reen six years before, lioorge Wash-
J Ingtnn was In the city at Unit time,
I having lately arrived from the ramp
at Boston, u ml tlie declaration was
j rend to each brigade of soldiers, being
received "with loud huzzas and the
utmost demonstration of joy." This
was on Wednesday, July in. and a
newspaper account of the demolition
says:
"The same evening the equestrian
st.-ttue of tieorge HI., which Tory pride
ami folly raised in tlie year 1770. was.
by the Sous of Freedom, laid prostrate
in the dirt, the just desert of an un
grateful tyrant. The lead wherewith
the titoiMiiiit'iit wan made is to be run
into bullets to assimila'e with the brain
ol our infatuated adversaries, who, to
gain p pper-corii, have lost an empire."
At Princeton th" famous Nassau
Hall, which then comprised all there
was of prine -ton l.'niversity. was bril
liantly illuminated, and the 1 leclaration
was read to tilt" ace tiuiiauimeiit of
volleys of musketry anil loud acclama
tions for the prosperity of the newly
formed Itepubllc. Throughout the thir
teen ('ninnies tlie I leclaration of Inde
pendence was greeted with the ringing
of bells. tiring of guns, and earnest ex
hortations to maintain tlie principles of
equal rights at all hazards. One very
beiii'tlclal ("fleet was in making tic
people feel that they were banded to
gether more closely in u common cause.

"After a draught of punch they re

the day there was a hanipiet, and
among the toasts was this one:
"If "there are British officers who
treat u traitor as he deserves let their
enemies esteem Ihein; but perpetual
infamy on tlie wretches who are not
ushuined to consult with or to scmp
under Benedict Arnold."
The Fourth of July, 17Sfi, was of
exceptional Importance, not only to
the country ut (urge, us If wus the first
to be celebrated under a stable fort;:
of Coyeriiiiieut, but to Netv York City
in particular, because less than three
mouths before 'ieorg- Washington had
been Inaugurated President, and was
then a resident of the city. The Soci

nry meeting In Ihe morning and elected
Ha ran Steuben President and Alex
ander Hamilton Vice President. The
society appointeil a committee to wait
llHin the President, bearing the best
wisiiea or me uay, and Biirou Steuben
acted aa spokesman on thla memorable
occasion. His remarks were:

The rally newspapers abound In In
terestliiK incidents on parades, dinners,

eelebratlUK the Fourth dtiriliK the
years prior to lxi. They reveal v-ry
strongly the habits of the people on
their Joyous occasions, and nlthouch

may be forced to smile occasionally
both nt (he description and at the In
cldeiils themselves, there was, on the
other hand, no lack of the deepest
patriotism. The love for their yontm
country rnitu out clear and true in
every oration and after-dinner tost.
A toast given by the m 'rclinnts of New
York City in 17'.." at the Tontine Coffee
House may be cited as a sample of
many which the day always called
forth:
"The auspicious day that rescued our
country from the hated yoke of foreiau
tyranny and nave us honorable rank
among the nations of the earth. -May
its glorious events never lie effaced
from our memories: may the blessings
it has conferred be as lasting ns the
globe we Inhabit, and may each re
volving year ti ml us more united, more
happy and more free."
The celebration of the glorious
Fourth In Itoslon in:! years ago Is thus
described iii a local paper:
"The morning sun alvanced to the
music of the artillery of this town, of
Fort Independence, and of all the
neighboring towns. Th" bells Immedi

Independence. Heaven was pleased to
bestow n day ns temperate and In

In New York there were parades and
church services during the day and
theatrical performances at night. The

in the evening, combined with exhibits
of military scenes. The usual dinners
were eaten with toasts equal to the

some replanting should be done every

Sweet C'urn biii! Itape.
In many g-ctlons sweet corn Is
grown In large quantities for canning
purposes, as well us for marketing in
the usual way.
As a rule, rape In field corn Is so
shaded that it does not get a good
start, but the more open plan of rais
ing sweet corn gives the rape a chance.
When properly sown, ut the rate of
seven to ten pounds per acre broadcast
at the lust plowing of the corn It will
give one a tine crop for pasturing later
in the season and not in the least in
jure the com crop. It is worth trying
ou this plun, especially as Ihe seed Is
not expensive, from twelve to fifteen
cents per pound In ten-pound lots of
the Dwurf Kssex, the only vutiety wor
thy raising.
Bedding Material.
As It Is an object to make all of the
manure possible, the bedding of all an
imals will be found to aid very mater
ially In the matter. If there Is no
struw thut can be used for bedding,
any waste innteriul available can be
substituted. Some farmers use large
quantities of sawdust, and shavings
from the mills are found available.
Anything thut will absorb the liquid
and keep tlie uniuiuls comfortable uud
clean will uuswer a good purpose. The
hogs will use up und turu into a good
fertilizer a large amount of course ma
terial, and here may be used what
would hardly be suitable for cattle or
horses, unless run through a cutting
machine. Keep these uniitinls well
supplied with material and note If
they do not give full vuiue for every
thing furnished iu this line.
Balk) Horn.
A writer gives the following cure
for bulky horses: Take a small rope
und firmly attach it to tlie horse's tall.
Tuke u turn on the doulAetree or ci'oks
bar, giving slack enough to tighten the
traces. If the horse refuse to pull
tighten this rope until the draft comes
ou the tail. No horse ever refuses to
pull by his tall. When the horse starts
tbe tail-hold may be relaxed until the
draft comes on the traces again. Many
balking horses will refuse to start, and
others will start off ull right, but if
stopped will refuse to pull. The nay
to treat this form of vice is to pull on
the tail rope until ihe draft comes par
tially ou the tall. Then he will go,
Tint tail draft may theu be gradually
relaxed until nil the draft rets ou the
traces. Persist In this treatment and
a peruiuucul n-loi iiiuliou is a sure re
sult. I.ale Mnwlug.
With proper management plowing
can be followed until the ground
freezes. There are some kinds of
soils, particularly of a heavy or cloggy
texture, that it Is considered better to
plow late, thus exposing to the action
of the winter frosts. Home farmers
like to plant corn ou grass laud man
ured iu the fall and then plowed as
late as possible before planting. In this
way turning under a considerable
amount of vegetable material along
with the manure, thus getting excel
lent result iu the crops grown. This
plan makes more spring work, but to
a certain extent it may be, and doubt
less Is, u profitable course to pursue.
Farmers should be fully persuaded in
their own minds as to these things,
aud follow the methods that exper
ience proves to be the most satisfac
tory and profitable for them.
' Supplying Water to Plaute,
It Is not easily understood by some
that plants can be overwutered. But
aths fact is, they may be literally
urnwned, and tula ofteu happens.
The posltlou of water Iu the life
workings of plant is chiefly that of
carrier; it is taken up by tbe roots,
carries food to all parts of the pluut,
nr mostly passes off iu the atmos
phere through the leaves. This rou
tine Is necessary; without it growth
cannot be made, while surfeit of
water brings decay of 4ue parte In
touch with the excess.
The times when overwatering Is most
possible are when a plaut Is without
leaves, dormant or nearly so, and
Water cannot be used speedily; when
the soil is heavy and does ait give up
the moisture quickly; when a plant has
been recently transplanted and new
feeding fibers have not been formed to
lane up we moisture, ana wuea ever
ITr"rm are In question, the loaves f
which do not pass the water so readily.

Catting Rtanil of Clover.
Although the principal object of
growing clover Is to Increase the nltro '
gen of the soli, hind should e seeded
to clover for this purpose long before
it approaches a condition of actual no?
erty. Although ihe poorest field may
be the one most in need of Addltlona!
uitrogen, It is not the one thnt will re
ceive most benelit from the clovel
crop, as it does not contain humui
enough so thut a good catch of clovel
can be expected. The poorest Beldf
should have a good large share of till
burnyard manure plowed under, so
that they mny be rendy for clover seed
Ing another yenr. The clover seeding
should be confined to Isnils with a suf
Hclent supply of humus so that a good
catch may be obtained. There are sev.
eral definite reasons why soils rich In
humus give the best clover cntcU
These soils retain more moisture and
in a capillary way. They ure in ri bet
ter physical condition, nnd plant food
is not on Is plentiful but available.
Suitable preparation of the seed bed
Is of almost equal Importance with hu
mus. The most common pructlee Is to
seed clover after grulu in ordinary cul.
tlvated fields, but the plun only suc
ceeds well on comparatively new land,
rich, mellow nnd crumbly. Ordinary
grain fields ure rather unfit for the tiny
clover seeds, t'nless these are scat
tered on a smooth, well pulverized sur
face, many will fail to lodge at a depth
permitting germination, uud many will
be covered loo deeply. Also u poorly
pulverized soil does not permit the rise
of the needed capillary moisture. The
Held should be planked and dragged to
a good seed-bed und uniform covering,
live makes the best nurse crop, as the
clover gets the sun the quickest, nnd
the stock should nlwuys be kept oil
the first year. Prairie Parmer.
