In connection with the above we would draw at
tention to the fact that not one case vas entered on
the civil calendar. We are led 10 believe that this is
in a great measure attributable TO the fact that liti-
giants generally, and also persons convicted 10 the
lower courts, prefer 10 take their appeals 10 and
abide by the decision Of the Circuit Judge, and 30
avoid the uncertainties Of a trial by Jury.
We are also informed that the Illicit traffic In in
toxicating drinks in this circuit is almost annihilated,
aud that although a small quantity may sometimes
be manufactured, yet the certainty Of prosecution
deters those who have hitherto largely engaged In
the traffic from running the risk Of swift andSxen.

mine, so far, have kept perfectly good. We buy
the prepared sealingwax. Gather the tomatoes,
scald, skin and slice them; put them in brass

fill the cans full, not nearly full but level full,
keeping them in the boiling water until they are
full, and then put on the top tight, and seal with
your wax warm enough to run well, but not hot
enough to run into the can; lift the can out of
the water, and set where draft of air cannot
strike them until COOL Now, to be sure they

your cans in a cool, dry room, or closet. pre-

and when the hard winter weather comes, keep
them where they will not freeze if you can, as
freezing will crack the wax and let in the air.

A Word 10 Farmers.

We desire to say a single word to the farmers
of the Northwest. In time of peace prepare for
war, in time of plenty prepare for the days when
famine threatens. The soils of this country are
rich enough for any purpose but there are sea-
sons when the deHs of heaven do not descend
upon either the just or unjust, and thousands
are called upon to mourn in one year what they
squandered the previous one. Granaries, filled
in one month, have been found empty the next,
and ptiful starvation has existed where plenty
once abounded.
Think not of what you raise, but of what you
can save. If man makes 5000 a year, and
spends double that amount, he isn't bit the
richer when the 31st of December comes; only
left to tell the world what he "might have been,
and the world won't care picayune about hear
ing the story.
Every good farmer should keep on hand, in
bounteous years, at least enough to anticipate
those seasons so apt to occur when there may be
partial or total failure of crops. Good barns and
good cribs and bins are far more profitable than
big houses. The old Pennsylvania Dutchman
believes that good barn will build good house
in no time and his prosperity has been proverb-
ial. He always keeps three years crops ahead,
instead of one.
The past two seasons should teach our farmers
lesson. If they do not profit by it, it will be
their own fault Save what you have-St. Joe
Gazette.

PRAIRIE FIRES.

Now is the time to make fire guards to pro-
tect stock and buildings from prairie fires.
Now, farmers, don't go and run two or three
times around your stacks with a breaking pillow,
and sguess thatl do.o
Don't you know that the fire has jumped the
Solomon and Salina rivers time after timer 1t
is useless to trust to anything less than Ger
tainty. Take your mower and NOW strip three
or four rods wide, and when the grass mown gets
thoroughly dry burn it OFF. II this cannot be
dome readily, pillow burrows around your premis-
es and then more a few rods away, and as soon
as the grass will burn at all, burn it all ont care
fully. The best time is inst at night as there is
generally less wind. and the dew will help to
keep the fire under control
II Won must burn when there is a wind set
the fire next to the furrOw, and so that the fire
will have to RIM towards the wind. Don't give
the fire end the least chance III the world, OF he
will be apt to give you the snip
world il TO manage little burning grass, but
when one has seen great mass OF hre careening
over the country with the speed of horse, lick
ing ND stacks barns, hOnscs, and whatsoever
NAV come in its way jumping paths, hedge
rows. roads, and rivers in its headlOng fury, he
will no longer deem a little prairie fire snch an
insignificant affair.
We are very much in earnest in this matter.
We know something erperimeHtGlly about prairie
fires. but it cost us over thousand dollars to
learn that a man with sprinkliDg pot, or an
old "gunny," wasn't match for good lively
fire.
Every year of the last four except last year,
there have been destroyed thousands of tons of
hay, besides more or less grain, buildings, hedg-
es, &c, &C., in Ottawa county alone; yet we
are fully convinced that the loss by property
burned up, is but little of the real loss Occa-
stoned by those fires.
Every farmer knows that it takes but n light
mulch to keep the ground beneath it moist all
the year round. Now why is it thus 7 Because
the hay keeps the air from coming in contact
with the surface of the soil, and thus carrying
off all the moisture that is continually rising to
the surface. Take lump of dry dirt, and hold
it over water so that it just touches, and in a
moment the water will have risen to the very
top of the lump. So it is rising to the top all the
time, and all over the country. Now if we have
the whole country mulched with such burden
of grass as we have this year, it is evident that
it must make a great difference in the amount of
dampness retained in the soil, and also in the
rainfall. Our drOuths have always been preced-
ed by general burning of the prairie, and our
bountiful seasons by the reverse. Last year there
was but small burden of grass, but none 'cas
burnt and this year we reap the benefit of it,
Let every farmer constitute himself a committee
of one to that every rod of grass is left that
can be- at least until grass starts next Spring,
and then only burn what is needed for meadow.
Don't burn the prairie-SolOmOn VGltey Mirror.

struction of the Western crops by the ravages of
the chinch bug, the army and cotton worms, and
the Colorado beetle. a petition was ordered to
be presented at the next session of Congress,
asking that the ravages of these animals be made
the subject of scientific investigation. 1t further
asks that committee of five persons, including
one chemist, one bOtanist and three entOmolo-
gists, be appointed on the recommendation of
the council of the National Academy of Science

PRICE OF Hoes FOR THE COMING PACKING SEA-
soN.-The Lire Stock and Commercial Record, in
referring to the future of the hog market, says
it is reported that hogs have been contracted for
January delivery for the Cincinnati market at II
cents, and this looks very much as if high prices
for hogs were to rule throughout the next pack
ing season. That they will rule high early in
the season seems to us to be beyond all question,
for the reason that they will have to be market
ed later in the season than usual so that hogs
that can be got to market during the first few
weeks of the packing season, in fair condition,
are sure to bring comparatively high figures.
What the packers propose doing in the premises
it is yet too early to say BUTT is not very safe
operation for them to pay another season the
high prices ruling last. How they got through
last season SO well is almost mystery to them
even, but this season, all things considered, the
showing is more unfavorable, and while they
may possibly pull through, it is more likely that
they will find themselves in rather tight snap
before they have disposed of their seasons cut
ting.

hard and it is not only right and just but for the

they are well fed. And they ought not only to

A CH1NCH Bug REMEDY.-Dr. ]. b. Crowder,
of Litchfield, Ills, suggests the sowing of timo-
thy with wheat, to prevent the chinch bugs
from troubling the wheat crop the following
Spring. He sOws his timothy at the time he
sows his wheat in the Fall. He uses a seeder
which scatters the grass seed in front of the drill
He sows one bushel and a peck of wheat, and
two gallons Qiquid measure) of timothy seed, to
the acre He aims to SOW his wheat about the
middle of September. The Mediterranean can
be sowed earlier than the May and othor varie-
ties, which makes the former more desirable to
SOW timothy seed with, as it can be sown SO
much earlier in the season. The Doctor is conf
dent that he has made an important discovery.
