A Few Hints 10 Farmers =.

As the time approaches, it would be well
Tor our farmers 20 take Into consideration
the kind Of crop they will put in the pres
ent season, so as to make the most Of their
land and labor. The usual practice, we
know, is to sow wheat and plant corn year
after year with scarce change, because
these crops are thought to require less la
Dor and skill than any other grain. Wheth-
c. tbs BE correct or not we shall not now
stop to inquire. Our impression is that
majority CT farmers making these grains .
speciality for ths want OF proper attention
to their cultivation, do not always get a
ELL crop, No dolbt this mostly arises
from the mistaken idea that if the seed is
put into the ground, no matter how, the
earth will yield its strength to the desired
crop. If lands are not we'll titled we car
not expect full crops and a large return fof
the seed and iabot u is ret OR Intention
at this time to write homiiy cn Tie p.ac-
tice many OF our farmers have of cultiva-
ting their lands. Assuming that wheat is
not the most profitable crop we can raise, it
becomes our farmers to t,oE around and
select such crops as will pay best. We
have LARGE range Of crops which can be
Brought into requlsition from which to Sc
lcct in order to make farming profitable
1t is true more labor viii have to be bestow
ed upon most OF them than on the wheat
crop, yet they viii pay. Among them are
fax, hemp hops, &c.
Another fault among the tillers of the
soil is, they do not rotate their crops cnough
OF change Their seeds as frequantly as they
should For instance, i potatoes are plant
ed on the same ground year after year,
they will run out and becon.e subject to tho
rot, while if the seed should be changed
each year or two by bringing it from dis
tance the crop can be kept up to its best
yield ty good cultivation, and the potatoes
remain healthy. Agricultural chemistry
tells Is that some crops are more exhaustive
to the soil than others. Then it is evident
tic soil Oh Which these crops are raised,
should be fed in order to restore its power
OF production. This fact most Of our far,
L,ers understand, yet too many Of them
neglect to act upon this knowledge. The
result is that in a few years their lands show
signs of failing or wearing out, wher by g.
judicious system of feeding they maintain
their vigcr and richness through genera
tions. There is one great fault among
many Of cur farmers, a fault which causes
them much ii ne AID money, and that is
the practice OF attempting to cultivate too
many acres. In doing this they fail to do
justice to the land and crops. 1t is mis-
taken notion the larger the crop yo.: pit
in, the greater will be the profits, unless
you have the force 20 cultivate the land
well. 1t is not in every case that our
farmers are able to do this : nan that
cultivates forty acres as it should be VIII
make note clesr profit than lac who pre-
tends 70 til double that an 5ur:t and leaves
it to the tender mercies Of the weeds

Our Treatment of the South.

The New York Round Table criticises
with just and keen severity, and in forci-
bic language, the treatment our Govern
ment under Radical auspices, has meted
out to our vanquished enemy. The want
Of magnanimity shown and cruelty cf our
conduct, is admirably alluded TO in a by
pothctical strain, which, however, is sim
pie and actual sacts, and realiy describes il
the close what las occurred. 1t says:
Our brother lies p-cst-atc ,.pon tie
earth, unnervcl, crushed ii spirit, bleed
ing at eve~y pore from the tremendous and
finally irresistible blows dealt by superior
strength ,Ie is tee proud to as x for pity

whispers but one faint word-justice. Is
it OURS to set HIM on his feet, to bind up
lis wou Ids, to share him our crust and our
cup, and confident in our own massive
strength, to bid him henceforth to be
with us, free and equal, while We only vie
with each other in throwing the veil OF
magnanimons oblivion over the past? Or
is it the nobler part Of Il: to seize the op
portunity to grind him into the dust, to
swathe his neryelcss limbs with gives and
tettcrs, to take every base and pitiIal pre-
caution lest he repay our generosity by
stealing hereafter to our bedside to as,as-
sinate us while sleeping? We may, in
deed, take the latter ignobls course and be
safe-at least for time but VII he ever

proved to pay better than the result Of the
original working. Some quartz which
yielded $50 to the ton, afterwards yielded
$500 in silver PER ton. This Is called the
"argcntifusors ga'sra," bciDg composed

The New Albany Ledger AID Indianap-

The Ledyer has completely sijcnccd the

the latter with the following figures which

sailed, has stricken the Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means with amaze

keep up the impression that the people of
Floyd county were heavily taxed for local
purposes, but the fact is that the people of
Maricn county we're required 10 pay more
money for bountics during the last two
years of the war than the people of Floyd
have paid in taxation for local purposes du
ring the whole period of its existence a
county-forty nine years! If all the local
taxes which the people Of Floyd have paid

1918, were aided together, they ,could not

E.ifsfe Stories for the President.


The president of the United States is
about to make a trip to the Carolinas. He
has been strongly invited by The gull
states to visit them, but has declined
The latter fact shows quite conclusivelv
that his mission is not political one. He
goes probably to visit his native place and
to avoid the throng of visitors at Washing
ton.
Rendered wise by experience, the presi-
dent will probably say nothing on this trip
He has undoubtedly discovered by this
time that though speech may be silver,
''s.lence is golden Had he known this
fact a little earlier in his presidential ca.
rcers he would had saved himself urlimit-
ed modification and vast amount of op.
position lie sowed the wind between
Washington and st. Louis, and he las
reaped the wlliriwind.
If he decides to say anything, it should
be strong recommendation for the south
crn people to go to work. He should
advise them to work, TO put moncy in their
purse, to get rich. When they shall be
rich, they will become independent roli-
ticians, governments, the world, never op-
press the wealthy. Partisans do not urge
the placing Of millionaires and negroes on
level. When man or q community is
out at the elbows, and seely and impecun-
ious, there are rcforincrs firm in the belief
that social and political equality arc good
things in botl, instances
Let the president state to The southern
peuplc-it he says anythins-that the
door to congress opens through the third
house. This door opens on golden hinges.
1t costs money to make it swing Against
pcnniless applicant, it is shut, licked,
barred and double bolted.
Let him urge them to deive, dig, coin
money. and get 4 bank account. If they
get this, twill be a good thing, even if
they do not Get seats in congress-. \ mar
