WHAT THE FARMER MUST KNOW

The farmer, like the business man,
must know what he is doing; he
must have some pretty decided ideas
OF what he is to accomplish-in fact
he must calculate it before hand.
He must know his soil-that of
each lot; not only the top, but the
sub-soil.
He must know what grain and
grass are adapted to each.
He must know when is the best
time to work them, whether they
need summer following.
He must know the condition in
which the ground must be when
piowed, SO that it be not too wet, nor
too dry. :
He must know that some grains
require earlier growing than others,
and what these grains are.
He must know that it will paw to
bave machinery to help him as we'll
as muscle. tQ ul
He must know about stock and
manures, and the cultivation of trees
and small fruits, and many other
things. In word, he must know
what experienced, observing farmers
know, to be sure of success. Then
he will not guess-will not run risks.

Mr.. Shell was not prepared to make

ed especially by the decline in
Vanderbilt stocks, in which he was

Jay Cooke & Co., cannot be ascer.
tanned. 1t will take sone time to
make statement of the affairs of
the house. The creditors are mostly
banks and bankers, there being but
few individual depositors in the list.
The suspension will greatly interfere
with the operations of the syndicate
and probably suspend negotiation OF
5 per cents. The bonds of the
Northern Pacific have been slow sale

counsel for relator raised doubt
to whether the affidavit is the vol

A Philadelphia paper makes these
appropriate remarks about "Friend-

ton that creeps into all political
organizations. Men do wrong, be.
cause they believe that their friends
will stand by them, who would
shrink from the guilt and risk of its

must stand or fall simply by the just
merits of their conduct. And If pub

1T IN their power to shield from ex-

obligation in this respect, and resolve
that they will use their protection
only for those who are uniustly
assailed, and would hold themselves
bound to be true only to those who

WAsHINGToN, Sept. ls.-Secreta
ry Richardson and Comptroller
Knox are in consultation this after
noon in reference to the suspensions
here, and Receiver will probably
be appointed to take charge of the
First National Bank. The Secreta-
ry of the Treasury states that the
Government does not lose anything
by the suspension. The deposits OF
Government officers in the First
National are being fully secured by
the deposit of that institution in the
National Treasury. As to the syn
dicate operations, the balance is in
favor of the Government, they hav.
ing over-paid at the last settlement.
Late this afternoon there was
something of run on the Washing
ton City savings Bank, but all the
demands so far have been promptly
met.

Another Devastating Fire in Chicago
Great Loss of Properly.

CHICAGO, Sept. l7-4:35 p. ma
fire broke out about O'Clock ia the
lumber district near the corner of
Seventeenth and Halsted streets,
and has been burning ever since
with the greatest fury, having at this
hour spread over distance of nearly
a mile. The wind is blowing gale
from the south hwest, carrying the
burning brands long distance in
advance of the fire. The entire fire
department is on the ground, doing
everything possible to stay the ad-
vance of the flames. There is con
siderable excitement among the
people.
5p. m.-The fire started in the
hay depot of the Chicago, Burlington
d Quincy Railroad, corner of New
bury avenue and the track, in West
Division, and is burning in northeast
direction, having already passed
diagonally across some four blocks
to point about one and half miles
distant in straight line from the
Court House or the center OF the
business portion OF the city. The
locality where it originated is built
almost entirely with wooden build
inss, mainly dwellings of the smaller
class, and the fire must have already
inflicted great amount of damage
upon the families living in that quar-
ter, many of whom are of the poorer
class. There is continued excite.
ment among all classes of people,
the locality of the fire and direction
of the wind presenting nearly the
same conditions as those of the great
lire OF two years since. Many peo-
pie living on the line of the fire are
packing up their household DE- sses-
sions and removing to places of
greater safety. The point where the
tire first started is about a half a mile
nearly due south from the point
where the great fire of October, 1871,
originated.
$50 p. ma dispatch from a
city telegraph office near the scene
OF the fire, says it is now under con-
troll and that it is believed 1t will be
prevented from spreading further.
No estimate of the loss can be made
at this writing.
SECOND DISPATCH.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17-lO d. H.
About four O'Clock this afternoon a
fire broke out in large wooden
shed on Newberry avenue, near
Sixteenth ST., used by the Burling-
ton and North western railroads, for
storage of hay. The flames caught
from locomotive spark and the
structure was soon in ruins. Famed
by stiff breeze from the southwest
the flames extended to the buildings
on Halsted st. The entire fire de-
partment was called out and the
widest excitement prevailed. The
dry goods houses of Field, Letter &
Co. aud John V. Farwell & Co, sent
their trucks to the aid of those
whose homes were imperilled. The
fire was got under control about 6 %.
m., having burned sixty-four wooden
buildings the estimated loss being a
quarter of a million. The burned
district is bounded by Mitchell st.
on the north, the Burlington track
on the south, Halsted st. on the west,
and Newberry Avenue on the east.

every dollar o. means possessed by

Softly September falls again,
D eyes that wait o hearts that yearn!
In golden mists on all the plain
In golden leaves, too quick 10 turn
But only do the mountain beech,
The maple and the yellowing fern,
And the flaming clumps of sumach,
That deep in lonely pastures burn,
AS yet. her silent presence learn!
Serene and still o golden rest
That fallest on the years decline
With mellower rlight-subdued, represt,
But rich as sunlight fall'n through wine
In this fair country of the West
Thy reign is more than half divine:
Heaven and earth have their bridal
When such eupernal mornings shine,
And on such afternoons as thine
What spirit haunts the hills and vales,
And breathes DER all the isles and capes
What gives to each bright cloud that sails,
Such Summer light, such softeDed shapes?
This fragrant breath that now exhales-
From hills celestial ii escapes
Or is ii the nectarine odor
From bowers of purple forest grapes
From them the Olympian breath escapes
