Late vs.. Early sown Wheat

For the past four or five years, almost
all winter wheat in the Northern States
has been moro or less injured by an in
sect variously denOlninated Hessian fly,
chinch-bug, sc. In some localities the
crop taken together, being less by one
half-some particular pieces not yield
ing five bushels to the acre, which, had
it not been for the fly, would have pro-
duced twenty-while in other instances
the crop was entirely destroyed. In
Michigan, last winter, saw several
fields sown to wheat last fall, which
had been entirely destroyed by the pest,
and ploughed under-the fly commenc-
ing upon it as soon as il had nicely got
to growing, and eating it out so as to
leave the ground entirely bare. One
would suppose that an insect so destruc-
tive in its nature, and doing so much
damage as this has done, would be more
widely noticed in our agricultural pa
papers, and remedy sought for-for
there is remedy by which these iDju-
ries can be entirely avoided, which is
simply by late sowing. l have seen
fields of wheat injured at least two
thirds by the fly, while an adjoining
one gave a maximum crop, with not a
trace of fly to be seen-the first sown
early, in the latter part of August or
first of September, the latter sot before
the 18th or Goth of September-while
wheat sown even rs late as Octo-
ber last season is giving good
yield. The Hessian fly has not done
much injury here this season,
Last season and the one previous
they hurt us badly. BY sowing late a
chance Is given to top-dress fields to be
sown with wheat. This is practiced
now in this locality almost universally,
our sweeping winds and bleak, cold
winters rendering it necessary.

Putting up Wheat.

believe it is a conceded fact that
wheat, before it is perfectly ripe, gives
more and better quality of flour; still
the yield is owing greatly to the man.
ner in which the grain is cured, after
being cut. Every one knows that grain
of any kind, cut in greenish state, and
allowed to remain in swath to cure, will
cause the grain to shrink and be Of an
inferior quality; while if bound almost
Immediately, or before it gets dry, and
put up in round shocks and capped, the
grain will receive the juices remaining
in the green straw, and become round
and plump. To prove the benefit de-
rived from keeping the heads of grain
from being exposed to the air, let any
one who has practiced round shocking
examine the heads of the top cap sheaf
he will find the berries much less
plump and heavy than those taken
from underneath. Where wheat is struc
with rust, early cutting, immediate
binding and round shocking will often
save the crop, when if put up in long
shocks, as many farmers do, the damage
would be great, This is especially the
case with spring wheat, as this variety
is with us more apt to rust than the
winter variety, as the time of ripeniDg
usually comes later, when there is a
greater amount of warmth and moisture,
which is no doubt the cause of the
green rustins. To prove this, wheat,
oats or barley, sown on our billy lake
land, where the drainage is quick and
immediate, we never see rust.

Taxution.

'I say to you, that there is not poor
man in this city who pays one cent of
tax to the General Government. No
one paws such tax unless he has an in
come of $1,000 or over, and if he has
that he can afford to pay it.'-John A,
Logan.
The above is fair specimen of the
arguments of the Radical stumpers,
They all know that it is false. The Ia
boring man who buys pound OF tea
for one dollar and a half, pays at least
fifty cents tax on the same. The tea IN
New York, free of tax, is worth 81 OO,
the tariff on it is 35 cents in gold, which,
in Creenbacks is equal to 30 cents; this
so cents is added to the 81 % and IS
paid by the man who buys it, and this
is true of every other article purchased.
He pays Just as much tax on every
thing he and his wife and children eat,
drink and wear, as the rich man now
pays on what he eats and wears. The
tax that he thus pays is used to pay the
interest ON the Government bonds held
by the rich man exempt from taxation,
and on which he does not pay one cent
of tax. The rich bondhoider may have
S100, 900 in these bonds upon which ne
pays no tax, and the laboring man must
work to pay his interest in gold.-P'a'H

The Convention To-day.

The Convention to nominate Demo-
cratic county ticket meets at the Court
House to-day. We trust that il will do
rs work well. There is no reason why
We should not haze as good a ticket this
Fall as has ever been presented to the
people of this county. We have the
material in our ranks tn furnish accept
able candidates, and We believe our best
men, while they desire no political
prominence, are willing to serve the
people should their services be de-
mandrd.
We think that the Democracy of Ohio
county have reason to congratulate
themselves on the number Of reliable
and able men in their ranks, from whom
they may choose their representatives
In some other counties, we have at
times seen our party's candidates Sc
lected from men who were either below
the proper standard in point of ability
or We're not politically as sound, out
spoken and uucompromising in their
Democracy as might be desired. In
decd we have even seen our people, III
other sections, supporting halfway Re-
publicans, on the score of Of"availability,'
or some other pretext equally silly
The fate of such tickets, of course
has been uniform defeat. When
party, by choosing its candidates from
Its opponents, acknowledges that it i:
half wrong, it deserves defeat for the
compromise. 1t generally receives it
No resolutions of confidence, OF quasi
endorsements can make Democrat out
OF Republican, or induce the rank and
lille to support him, any more than they
can change the skin Of the Ethiopian
or the spots Of the leopard. We art
glad to be delivered from oil such com
promising shifts and devices. We ar'
glad that we have in our own ranks the
best and most suitable material. From
that material, of course. the Conven
ton will make its selection to-day.
We desire to repeat our former sug
sestions with regard to the other quail
ications of our candidates. Let them
be men of experience and sound prac
tical views. We will commit the best
interests of the people to their keeping
