piled up where they lie under dry skies for
weeks in perfect safety. Here the farmer
, must 10 differently. Yet long estao-
lished usage seemed to have stereotyped
toe notion that when wheat is put mp In the
shock it may then be left to take care Of
itself until it suits the convenience of the
tardy former to put it in stack, or thresh it
in the field. 1t is true that the custom OF
immediate threshing and saving has made
great progress in late years. But there
are 900 farmers in Indiana to-day
lamenting their folly in neglecting
wheat shocks which adorned the
the grand rolling tides which lately shipped
the unthreshed grain to New Orleans. 1t
was stated by one paper in, Tppecanos
county that BarDum's show cost the county
$500 900. On that day, which was fair, the
" heat might and should have been saved,
but t; entire farming population preferred
to take the chances of the weather
for their bread, and 60 TO
the show, leaving it exposed.
The result was that the golden opportunity
was lost, and they paid for their days fun
witn their years work. There isn't much
good sense in taking such risks, which it is
easy enough now TO see. The haymaker in
Vermont, where sweet timothy and clover
saved in good order are worth almost
as much as tea, provides canvas. hay caps
to cover all the hay cocks and keep of
both dew and rain. Here wheat ia not
always well shocked aud stacked, to say
nothing of effective shelter for it. Any
amount of wheat has been ruined by
poor stacking, which little extra care
would have obviated, and the work would
have been good investment. Mr. Ortiz,
writing from Austria, says that Americans
are far ahead of that people in farm imple-
ments, aud ahead of them in slovenly
farming too.

10 Now that the storms are over and the des-
olssIon OF wealth which short time ago
seemed to be secure lies suggestive on all
sides, the thoughtful farmer may learn
useful lesson. A painful demonstration Is
presented to many that care in saving is
quite as important as labor and
industry in producing. There are ldoOot-
less many instances where no exertioD,
nor skilliul management could have sverted
the consequences of bad weather But 1t
will by and by come TO be the leading idea
of the agriculturist to solve the problem OF
overcoming adverse contingencies of the
seasons. The true farmer viii inquire
earnestly how he may counteract the evil
effects of drought in dry season, and also
raise a good crop in spite OF excessive
rains. No trifing progress has been
made in this direction already, aud much
sreater achievements remain TO be se-
.complished. The task OF man set before
him IL the conquest Of all hostile elements
the utilization of his natural enemies, sno
the mas cry of natures forces. The singl'
device of tile drainage has made long sUeI
towards victory over drought and excessive
moisture in the soil. Strangely enough
it is potent remedy fol
both. A proper preparation of soil. the
creation of vigorous plant growth Is
general insurance against a dozen Ills t.
crops, including tardy maturity, frosts. arC
especially insect rsyages. About the hes

IkOOpmanschap.

Mr.. Koopmanschap, the importer of
coolies from China, is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, being about to visit
Europe. He is stout, pleasant-faced
German and readily expresses his opin-
ion of the coolie traffic.
"China," he said, ''is teeming
with population. Millions of its inhabi-
tants are struggling to support a
miserable existence. If you want to
know the value Of dollar 90 to the in
terror of China. l shall import no more
coolies to the United States, ''he added,
"until law is passed to protect me in
getting back what l have TO expens
upon them. At present l am under an
engagement TO send coolies to Brazil,
and the Peruvian Congress has authori-
zed treaty with China, with a view
to introducing more Chinese labor. l
have no doubt that the coolies arc not
as well treated in Spanish Americans
are more hot tempered, and the law
does not afford the laborer the same
protection there us here"
Mr.. Koopmanschap added that the
effort to substitute Chinese for negro
labor in the Southern States had pro-
we'd failure, and would not be repea.

attacking the Weeds.

Stirring the soil and killing the weeds
is very large part OF successful agricul-
ture. To do this by ordinary methods
is slow and costly. Some bold innova-
tors suggested that nearly all crops
might be narrowed with large fine
toothed harrow, while the plants were
small, without injury to the crop, and
with very great benefit. Farmers were
generally unbelieved. But the writer
and others have hrrrowed winter wheat
IN the spring corn, potatoes, oats and
barley soon after they came up, and
gre ttly increased the yield by so doing.
Weeds must be killed in their earliest an
fancy When the young rascal first
comes to light. his hold on life is very
weak. Move tle soil little, and he dies.
Let him alone few days, and he and
his confederates have entrenched them
selves SO as to make theif removal ex-
pensive or impossible. Weeds are vul-
nerable but for a very short time-so
short that tine hoe and cultivator can
reach but very few OF them.
Broadcast narrowing" must do the
work, and it does it quite effsctually.
Some plants are displaced, but if Thom-
as smoothing harrow is used, the injury
is slight, aud the benefit very great.
The writer narrowed his wheat just af-
ter sowing his clover seed in April, and
greatly improved his wheat and saved
his clover; the unharrow ed parts were o
failure.
Others tried the harrow on corn, pota-
toes, wheat, de-, and found great advau-
tage in SO doing. 1t is almost i,npossi-
bic to estimate the advantage OF ofharrow-
ing growing crops, just as the practical
weeds put IN their appearance.

CORPORATIONS.

Only few years ago corporations were
said to have mo souls" and the remark
was very generally concurred III. But
since that day corporations have become
more popular; and even Delaware has
amended her Constitution in order that
corporate charters may be more readily
obtained. The individual responsibility
clause is no longer demanded when cor
porate powers are sought. This is q
very convenient arrangement for capi-
talists; but tradesnen are complaining
that they find it pretty hard to compete
with establishments conducted under
charters when the credit system is Civ.
ca SO wide a range as has been the case
during the past few years.

sworn before committee of Congress

j. Kinds for offering to bribe Govern
ment officials in connection with mail
contracts.
Among the cases for trial before the
May term of the Circuit Court at
Washington are three growing out of
the Pacific Mail Investigation. The
Pacific Mail Steamship company sues
VIM. B. Shaw for $4,000; j. q. Bel

reduced its rates between the same
places to So 80, with limited tickets.
The fare between Wheeling and Balti-
more and Washington has also been
reduced on the latter road from $40 TO
50. Thus the war goes on.
Judge Kelley has committed the un-
pardonable offense against the Grant

telling the truth about the South, and
they are snarling and swapping at his
heels like mad. True, he but tells
what every reputable Republican Con
gresham has testified for nearly two
years, but nevertheless he isjeered and
hunted clear out of the party lines by
the organs which worship at the altar
of postof1ices and official advertise

The Great Curse of the Country
HFTom the Neu York Worldly

According to the report of the police
justices of New York for the year end
ing October, 1874, there were 40,777
arrests for being Drunk or drunk and
disorderly. OF those arrested 27,203
were men and 13, ,574 women. Arising
out of the arrests were IA, 1886 convic-
tions Of men and 6,927 of women. This
drunkenness among women is the most
frightful feature in the return, because
1t means SO much-children going to
perdition, ruined home; every thing
In word, which is most hateful and
repugnant to the right t-minded. Accord.
ing to return of April; 1877, the num-
Der of cases of drunkenness in New
York was 638 for every 10000, and
there were 8, ,403 liquor saloons, being
just one to every 1l9 men, women and
children of all ages.
In portion OF the city OF London,
selected for its specially drunken
character, there were 2G4 convictions
for drunkenness in 10000; in Liver
pool, 320, in Cork, 382; and in Dublin,
4l6. 1t really seems that nothing can
be done, and yet after all drunkenness
is with most merely habit, not pas
sion. Nothing can prove this more
than the extent in which (except in
Philadelphia, where it is reported
that very hard drinking is still com.
mon) it has gone out Of fashion among
the higher class both here and in Eu.
rope. SO soon as it became maurais
ton to be drunk, people ceased to cx-
coed. But although in dress and
in most other respects the lower
level follows the higher, it seems dis
tinctly TO cling TO its own ways in the
matter of drink.
