WEEDS. W. K" Quincy, ILL.,,
asks Is there any way to extermin-

that there is no specific to kill weeds:
There are but two ways of getting rid
of them: Put the land in some crop
that requires constant working, and
cultivate diligently, or use crop that.
will grow so luxuriantly as to crowd
out the weeds.
CARE OF SwINE.-Take good care
of breeding sows; give them warm
nesting places, and plenty of straw,
few cabbages or roots occasionally,
and twice week or oftner a pint OF
freshly burned charcoal, pounded
very fine, and mixed with meal; a
handful of ashes is very good now and
then.
PoULTRY IN WINTER.-Before the
fowls begin to lay generally, make
careful study of them, if breeding for
fancy. at all, and divide up the
| flock: put the finest pullets with the
1 best old cock, and your best hens
with your choicest coekrells. Give
six hens to one cock, and set few
clutches of nine eggs each, this month.
A correspondent says the best place
he ever had for young turkeys was an

better for the earliest broods of chick

I MovING TREES. - Harry Baker,
Washington County, Wisconsin, gives
his method of moving trees from the
forest. as follows: before the
ground freezes, cover the roots of the
tree selected for removal with coarse
manure sufficient to keep the frost
out, and do the same to the place the
! tree is to occupy When it freezes
hard take away the covering and mark
a circle around the tree, leaving a

| circle, dig trench, sufficiently wide
to work IN. and shape the ball of earth
, like a half. orange till it rests on g
pivot. Then dig the bank away for 9
gangway large enough to let the ball
of earth through, leave it till morn
ing, when it will beas hard as stone
. then take the team and stone boat
slip the stone boat down the gangWay
use the tree as lever, and pull thu

!, slip the boat underneath the tree, ant
! draw it up to the place where you wan
it, dig your hole, set the tree upright
! drive three stakes around, and faster
d with bay bands. The advantage Q
5 moving trees in this way is, you q.
! not injure the limbs or the small

BEEF AND TAXES-A BOVINE b.
oGRAPHY.-I was born in Nebraska.
The farmer to whom | belonged paid
a tax upon me as part of his income
during my veaIhood. He sold me
when was three years old, and paid
an income tax upon what / brought.
| was nicely fatted until | weighed
nearly ton, by a Democrat on Weep
ing Water, who paid the Government
eighteen cents for the privilege of SELL
ing me to butcher, who pays a tax of
ten dollars for the privilege of selling
meat TO the public. The butcher sold
my tallow to a chandler, who made
me, by paying a license as manufactur-
er, into candles for the poor people,
who pay a five per cent. tax on cam
dies to read by. My horns and hoofs
are made into combs and glue, and pay
another tax. My hide goes to the tam
ner, who pays a manufacturers license,
and is made into leather, upon which
is paid an sd valOrem tax of five per
cent. The tanner will sell the leather
to wholesale dealer, who pays mer-
camille license and an income tax, and
he will sell it to the shoemaker, and
the shoemaker will get up boots for
the laborer, farmer and mechanic, and
charge enough for them to cover all the
taxes enumerated together with his
own manufacturer tax.

THINK OF IT.-Farmer, mechanic,
workingman-and especially you who
have heretofore acted with the Repub-
lican party-you have now until No
vember tC think of matter that con-
Germs you and your children. VIII
you vote the Radical ticket and pay
the bondholder's taxes, or will you
vote the Democratic ticket and make
the bondholder pay his own taxes !?
Every dollar added to the duplicate
relieves you. The Democratic plat
form demands that bonds shall be taxed
the same as other property-the same
as your dwelling house. The republic
can platform favors the exemption of
the bondholder, says, in effect, that he
is a privileged character, and shall not
be taxed on hisb bonds. Which is right?
Throw aside your party prejudices,
and think of it!

THE CROPS OF THE WEST AND
SoUTH.-The New York Express, re-
ferring to the harvest in the West, re
marks:
"The granaries of the West, we are
glad to see, are to be largely poured in
to the lap ofthis great centre of trade
and commerce. We hear, since the
harvesting commenced, Of large ship
ments of grain from the farmers, by
the lakes and by rail, to New York,
and the expectation is that no small
quantity of all this will be forwarded to
Europe. a fair cotton crop, say 2,OOO,-
900 bales, andlarge shipments of bread
stuifs, with pork hay and other articles,
to go forward, will tend to keep down
the price of gold. But for the extrava-
gance and follies of Congress, we might
at least hope to keep our debt from in
creasing."

RECONSTRUCTION IN LOUISIANA.

In the Fifth District Court of New
Orleans an action to recover 35, 900
from S. Leastings, of this city, for oc-
casioning the death of Mrs. McCubbin
by wrongfully preparing a prescrip-
tion ordered by her physician while
she was recovering from yellow fever,
came up last week. the
first juryman called was Ernest Mel
son, coal black negro of the most un-
intellectual type, to whom were pro-
pounded the following questions:
Can you read"
No.
Can you write
No.
Can you count?
Juryman hesitates, but his answer,
whatever it may have been, is stayed
by objection from Mr.. Hornor, plain
tiff's counsel, who contended that the
only question the court has any right
to entertain is whether the juryman is
a registered voter.
Mr.. BermudeZ, for the defense, urges
that in a case where, as in this instance,
a large sum of money was claimed, a
man who couldn't count was as in
competent to render just verdict as a
man who was insane.
The Court ruling that under the eX-
isting state of things, evrey legal regis
tered voter was competent juryman.
Mr.. Burmudez returns to the charge,
asking of the juryman:
Are you legal registered voter?

The revolutionary programme of the
Radicals is daily developing itself. A
"carpet-bagger" named Coon, in the
Alabama Senate, recently displayed
his eating tendencies by announc-
ing that eff war must come, let it come
that the Radicals would give their
opponents belly full of it before it
was overland that in the next war
victory would perch upon the Radical
banners" Coon evidently let the cat
out of the bag, and his admirers in the
North are now deploring his indiscre-
tion. The Radicals desire to get up a
new revolution, so that they may con-
tinue their plunder of the peoples
money, but they don't want their tools
to say so.

DON'T KILL HIM.-Many farmers
have noticed in their fields large
black beetle, with most brilliant gold
en- dots placed in rows on his back.
DR.. Fitch says: Its eggs produce the
cOy7l-gtU6 Killer. Its a most inveterate
foe to the cut-worm grasping the worm
in its strong jaws, and, in spi eofits vio-
lent writhing and struggling, securely
holding it. When it finds these worms
in plenty,itgorges and surfeits itseIfup-
on them tillitisso glutted and distended
as to be scarcely able to stir, for It never
knows how to let cut-worm alone
when it meets him. 1t is continually
hunting these worms, feeding on moth
ing else if it can obtain them. Both it
and the golden dotted beetle, which
produces it, therefore, should never be
harmed.

A SAD SNAKE STORY.-A young
lady in Snyder county, Pennsylvania,
was in the garlen picking berries. A
piercing scream from her alarmed the
rest of the family, who were at the tea
table. fastening to the spot, they
found her lying on the ground in5en-
sible. She was carried into the house,
and sad to relate, examination proved
that she was dead Her friends, on
proceeding to prepare the body for in
terment, were horror stricken to find
an immense black snake coiled tightly
around her person, underneath her
clothing. There being no evidence of
the snake having bitten her, the in
ference was that the young lady died
from fright.

"BAIT HIM WITH WHITE wO-
MAN.,

The terrible, shocking, nameless
crimes of the Southern nigsers, are a
matter for grave reflection, not only Of
the leading minds of this country, but
of all Christendom. To speak out
plainly, rapes upon white females by
brutal negroes are of daily occurrence.
Horace Greely and Henry Ward
Beecher, more than any other two in-
dividuals in this country, are the au-
thors Of these rapes. Not long ago,
Ward Beecher said in speech, "the
way to maintain man in position is
to take one step before him being Graf
ty, desire to capture him by guile;
takea black man, bait him with white
woman, and | think you will catch the
black man." Was there ever more
atrocious or horrible sentiment uttered
by human being, much less clergy
man, and yet this debauched scoun-
drel calls himself Christian teacher
Pandering to the animal passions of
half brute, covertly inviting rapes and
murders, has had its fruits. Niger
outrages upon white females are Of
weekly occurrence, and Beecher and
Greely continue to preach up the doc
trine of batting the black man with a
white woman, while Christendom looks
on with horror, but nobody moves to
stay the dreadful crimes. Democratic
voters, shrink not from your duty.
Let the consequences be what they
may, Mongrelism must be crushed out
at all hazards. The election of Sey-
mour and Blair will do it.-N. Y. Day

THE CROPS IN ENGLAND The
Gardeners Chronicle, of London, of
the 1st of August, contains harvest re
ports from 206 different places in Eng
land. To what extent these reports
may be accepted as authentic it is not
in our power to say; but most proba-
bly, they are as truthful as information
of this nature generally is. The result
obtained from a compilation of these
returns is that there has never been a
better crop of wheat on all good wheat
soils than the present one, and that
the average of the whole crop will
probably prove higher than it has
been for many years. In 81 of the
districts from whence these reports
We're received the wheat crop was an
average good one ; in 126 districts, 81
per cent. of the whole number, the
crop was above an average; and in
only 13 districts was it below an average.
The reports of the condition of the
other crops were not quite so full, nor
nearly SO satisfactory.
