Early md LaIe Seeding.

Most farmers will insist that the
earlier oats can be sowed, in the spring,
the heavier will be the crop of grain.
If the soil is in good state of cultiva-
ton, and is not too wet, and the season
should prove very favorable one, after
the ground was plowed and the grain
put in, there would be An advantage in
putting in the seed as soon as practical
be, in early spring. On the contrary,
if the soil were not underdrained, and
were not in q good state of cultivation
and heavy storms of snow and
rain should fall, after seeding
which would inundats the soil
and cause it to run together like
mortar, one could not reasonably ex'
pect mole than half a crop; and, indeed,
the soil could not produce more than
half as much as it would, if the ground
had been plowed after those heavy
storms bad fallen. If the soil wers
Plowed after the heavy spring storms
bad fallen, it would remain much more
fria6le and mellow; aud the grain
would vegetate Immediately, and con.
tinue to grow rapid ~ until fully ripe.
Ihe chief objection in sowing spring
grain too early is, the liability of the
SOILS being beaten down by heavy rains,
oelore the roots have spread much in
the soil. Every good farmer knows
now dlfhcult it is for roots of any kind
OF grain to spread in compact ground.
III the soil is not warm and mellow, of
course the crop cannot be as good as it
osnerwlse would be. II land is nstu-
rally dry, or if it has been drained, it
Wlll usually be better to put in barley,
oats, spring wheat, and rye and fax
seed, Is soon as the soil is in condition
to pulverize satisfactorily when plowed,
Indian corn and some other kinds oi
grain are often put in too early.

sharp Practice in Drawing n Crowd
10 n Ludies, Fair.

The Albany papers chronicle the fol-
lowing shrewd practice on the part of
the lady managers at the Fair in that
city: One morning-three mornings
before the Fair closed-one of the city
papers contained q personal which read
thus "Dear George-My heart is break
ing. Don't desert me. Come this even
ing to the Fair on st. - street. fou
will find me at the-tsble.-Lizzie."
The advertisement was, OF course,
read by those who are won't to look
over the Personals" and the rendez.
vous in view was extensively spoken of
by the patrons of the Fair. In the
evening people clustered around the
table to witness the meeting of George
aud Lizzie, and to ascertain who they
were. While waiting the coming of
George, for whose sake Lizzie's heart was
breaking, the eager crowd made liberal
purchases at the table, and in compar-
atively short time the three misses had
disposed of nearly their whole stock in
trade. 1t is needless to say that Lizzie
and George never met at the appointed
place.

"DowN with the taxes" isthe cry of
many of the Radical papers. That is a
cheap bid for votes. 1t costs nothing
to declare that taxation should be re-
duced. But what are the Radicals
doing, of a practical character to make
that reduction probable' The Detroit
Free Press says: "a Radical Congress
has increased the pay of its members
over sixty six per cent since hatparty
came into power. 1t has created swarms
of new Office holders who are paid out
of the hard earned means of the labor
ing masses. 1t has taxed Northern
white labor, through the Freedmen's
Bureau, to educate, clothe aud feed
colored idleness in the South. Its lead
ers in and out of Congress have directly
and indirectly stolen hundreds of mil
lions ef money from the people through
a corrupt Congress policy, all OF
which will have to be paid by taxes
collected from the honest industry of
the country" These are plain truths,
plainly told. Nor is it likely that this
system will be discontinued. Mr.
DAWES has impaled the GRANT admin
istration. He has shown that expenses
are increasing instead of diminishing.
How, then are the taxes to be reduced'
They cannot, they will not be while the
Radicals are in power. That party is
reckless, corrupt, extravagant. They
plunder the Treasury and oppress the
people. If the taxpayers desire relief
they must drive the thieves out of Con
press, out of effice from Washington to
Texas. This is the road by which
relief can be reached. All others lead
in a different direction.

State Association of Teachers and su
pcrintendents.

Mr.. A. D. WILLIAMS, General Super
intendent of Free Schools, has issued q
Circular to the County Superintendents
of the State, instructing them briefly,
coucisely and clearly as to the most of
their duties. The idea strikes US as a
good one, as there is grave reason to ap-
prehend that some Of the Superintend-
ents are not fully posted as to the re-
quiremsnts Of their position. Whether
this is owing to the delay in the publ
cation of the Code or to other causes,
it is not necessary to inquire. Suffice
it to say that the Circular of the State
Superintendent will supply a want long
felt, in giving his subordinates short
and intSlligible explanation of their
duties.
The sixth section of the Circular re-
lates to the formation of State Asso.
citation. 1t is as follows:

THE Missouri Legislature has adopted
an amendment to the Constitution oil
that State, striking out the word
"white" and restoring the ballot to the
rebels. Our impression is that this
amendment will be submitted to the
people of Missouri without the inter
vention of another Legislature, the
process of constitutional amendment
differing in that State from the rule in
West Virginia. We observe that some
of our State exchanges have fallen into
the error of supposing that the FLICK
Amendment will be submitted to di
rect vote at our next State election. 1t
cannot, under our Constitution, be voted
upon without the sanction of the next
Legislature. So unless a special cleo
ton be previously ordered it cannot be
passed upon by the people until Octo-
ber 1871. If thus ratified, every male
citizen in the State, save minors, pau
pers, insane persons and those convicted
of crime, will vote at the election OF
1872,
