How to Make Farm Life Attract
i've

F1rst-By less hard wors. Farm
ers often undertake more than they
can do well. and consequently work
too early and too late.
Secondly more system. The
farmer should have a time to begin
and stop labor. They should put
more mind and machinery into Their
work. They should theorise as well
as practice; and let both go together
Farming is healthy, moral and res
pectable, and in the long run may be
made profitable. Farmers should
keep good stock and--out of debt.
7Hird-By taking care Of health
Farmers have healthy variety Of
exercise, but TOGO often neglect clean.
Illness, eat irregularly and hurriedly,
sleep in lily ventilated apartments
and expose themselves needlessly to
cold.
FourM-By adjoining the home.
Books, papers, pictures. music and
reading should all be brought to bear
upon the indoor family entertain
ments; and neatness and comfort. or.
der, shrubbery, bowers and fruits
should harmonic all without. There
would be fewer assertions of the old
homcsteads if pairs were taken tc
make them agreeable. Ease, order
health and beauty are compatible
with farm life. and were ordained te
90 with it.-N0tion0k Farmer.

The Liberal Republican" and
Democratic Conventions Of Illinois
met upon the same day Of last week at
Springfield. They agreed upon pre-
cisely the same State and Electoral

ginning with 9. A. KGrner, Liberal,
for Governor, and alternating Lbs
and Denis with perfect impar,iality
To the end of the chapter. 1t is worthy
Of remark in this connection, howev.
er, that the Chicago Times, which is
anti-Greeley, supports this State tick
ct, openly claiming each and every
candidate upon 1t as a consistent Dem
ocrat. The Tribune claims them. all as
Republicans, and thus, while it is per
fectly understood that swallowing has
been done, they are trying their best
TO raise a doubt as to which party to
the performance represents Jonah and
which the whale. As the smaller can
not well contain the larger, 1t IL per-
fectly understood that the Illinois
Democratic whale has swallowed the
Liberal Republican Jonah, aud the
election Of the latter in very limp
condition from very sour stomach
will be confidently looked for immedi-
ately after election.

The new postal law passed at the
last session Of Congress, makes many
changes Of general interest in the ex-
listing postal regulations. The most
important is the authorization of the
one cent postal cards for correspond
enee or printed matter, similar to
those which have been introduced in
Great Britain some years since. The
price Of card and stamp will be one
cent, although If a card manufactured
by private parties, and not by the
government, be used, the regular 3
cent postage will be charged. The
postage on circulars. newspapers, etc.,
which under the old law was cents
for every four ounces or less, is now
one cent for every two ounces or less.
This act is now in force, the law being
immediate in its effect; but the Post
master General, in tho absence Of a
certified copy of the law, as passed, is
as yet unable to give any instructions
to the Postmasters throughout the
country, in relation to the postal card
system. 1t Is expected that o copy OF
the law will be furnished his officers
In few days.

Fihy-two leading Democrats OF
Stephenson, Illinois, have signed aud
published the following pledge, which
no doubt truly represents the feeling
and determination Of many old-time
Democrats the country over:
1--WE the undersigned members of
the Democratic party of Stephenson
county, State of Illinois, still believ-
ing in Democratic principles and ad-
herring to our Democratic faith declare
that under no circumstances will we
vote for Horace Greeley for President.
If Others are willing to sell out their
principles, we declare that we are not,
and III sold out at Baltimore. those
who sell US or our votes to the support
OF the Greeley party cannot deliver
our votes.n

Horace Greeley had numerous plans
and projects for peace at any price"
during the war. One Of them, made
public through the Tribune in July,
1854, after Vicksburg and Gettysburg
when the great heart OF the nation
was elate with victories won and the
greatly improved prospect for the fu-
ture, contained the following among
its propositions:
Fourth. TIE Union 70 ga. fc.r
hundred million dollars in five per
cent United States stock to the late
slave States, loyal and secession alike.
to be apportioned pro rata, according
to their slave population respectively
by the census Of 1850, In conapens0ti..,a

the abolition Of slavery"

The emigration this year il enor-
nous, thus far, it being about 90 per
cent. greater than last year. Let them
come. In q material sense, every able
bodied man that comes, is equivalent
to the addition OF s., 900 to the capital
Of the country. Emigration is the
great national offset to the fact the
balance Of trade is yet against this
country, the same as the emigration to
Iowa is the offset for the millions we
send out of the State for dry goods,
groceries, agricultural machinery,
steam engines, &c.-C2inton Bee.
The above is plainly correct, and has
been adopted and acted upon by liber-
Al and patriotic men in general and by
the Republican party in particular for
many years. 1t remained for the Ce-
dar Post, in the glory Of its position a.
the most influential paper In this
part Of Iowa. to discover that 1t IL
true no longer; that we have already
more than foreigners enough among
us who are "dead weights upon the
wheels of the car of progress" and q
nuisance and curse to US generally.

Judge David Davis has at last de-
clined the nomination for the presi-
dency rendered him last winter by the
Labor Reform Convention. After
holding the matter under advisement
four entire months, he begs to be ex-
cused, explaining that he per
mitted his name to come before
the Cincinnati Convention, and now
deems it improper to accept other NOM
ination against the candidate Of the
body by which his own claims were
acted upon. This is probably honora-
BILE in the judge, but 1t il the slowest
honor which ever developed itself In
politics. Such q man as President
would find the four years allotted to
him by the term Of, his Office much
too short in which to select cabinet
and get ready for business.

Report from Department Of Agri.
culture.

The June report of the staiistician
of the Department Of Agriculture Is in
press, and is exhaustive in its treat
ment of wheat statistics. 1t Is based
from counties Of which 1919 indicate an
average condition, 20 counties higher
than an average, and 434 counties low
condition, ranging from 100, the
standard Of medium prospect, down to
10, and In few cases down TO an en-
tire failure. The State averages are
calculated not simply from the number
OF counties reported, but from the
comparative production Of several
counties. These 303 reports include q
very large proportion of the wheat
area of the country. A summary Of
the returns Of area shows reduction
Of two per cent from 1871. The aver
age spring wheat in States which
grow that variety mainly, is represent
ed as follows: Maine, l0S; New
Hamshire, 100; Vermont, l02; Mass
achusetts, 95; Wisconsin, 1893; Min
nesota, 10I Iowa, 1905; Nebraska, 113 !;
Oregon, lO7; California, where the
distinction Of spring and winter Is
scarcely known. 1t IL reported rs spring
100 and winter 1870. In Illinois. where
winter wheat constitutes two thirds
of the crops gives 1Ol for winter and IS
for spring. Kansas, where spring
wheat predominates, the returns are
l40 for spring and 90 for winter. The
general average OF the condition for
the entire crop Ii 95. The Department
estimate for the crop of 1871 was $780,
OOO, 900 bushels, at III bushels per acre.
Considering IL bushels an average
yield Of the area and the condition Of
the present crop on the first week In
June, points to the product Of 22O,-
ooo, coo bushels in 1872. The crop Of
1869, which was l6 per cent. above an
average and the largest recorded In
ten years, was 2s7 900, 900 bushels, rs
