this time the author of the mortal af-
front would have bitten the dust. a. it
is, it is believed in cl,ivalric circles that
nothing but the snow blockade has pre-
vented the editor of the Tribune from

desperate efforts were made by IL Min
neapolis party to penetrate the drifts
with a four horse team on "Wednesday.
1t is currently reported that this was
no other than the courageous second of
the offended minneapolis editor, and
blood will flow before the result is wiped
out. In view Of these facts, the sus-

twenty seven reporters have been de-
tailed by the Pioneer to depict the

METROPOLITAN JoURNALs.-Who
wouldn't take a metropolitan jour

and Minneapolis that advertise
themselves as metropolitan" and
wish to be considered the leading
journals of the State, give a very
fine showing Of the instructive and
edifying matters with which their
editorial columns are daily filled in
the following from the Pioneer.

We CLEAN the following interesting
items from little pamphlet entitled
Practical Suggestions On Forest Tree
Planting" by Leonard B. Hodges:
While Minnesota is more abundantly
supplied with timber than either Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas or Nebraska; while
she now stands at the head of the list
OF wheat growing States, increasing her
production Of this great staple from
year to year in a manner that has Az
tonished the world; while her capacity
in this direction places her above and
beyond any other State in the Union,
we cannot shut our eyes to the solemn
fact that about twelve million acres of
her finest wheat lands are as yet so des-
titute Of timber rs to virtually preclude
successful agriculture.
proper and thorough preparation of the
soil is an indispensable prerequisite of
success; without this thorough prepara-
ton, failure and disappointment are in
evitable. 10 insure the best results.
the ground must have been previously
broken, and the sod thoroughly decom-
posed; then with Il common stirring
pillow, give the ground to be planted a
Thorough blowing to the depth of ten
inches, after which, harrow thoroug hly
until the ground is finely pulverized
In preparing the ground for a single
row, for fence, or hedge, I recommend
preparing Il strip in this manner, eight
feet wide, setting your cuttings in the
centre Of this strip, leaving margin
for cultivation, four feet wide on each
side of the row.
METHOD OF PLANTING CUTTINGS
Procure small rope of suitable length,
stretch it tightly over the exact place
where you wish to plant your cuttings,
stake each end Of the rope firmly to the
ground; with small iron rake, smooth
off the ground Immediately beneath the
rope-then taking up as many cuttings
as you can conveniently carry under one
arm, proceed to stick them in the
ground close up to the rope. Stick
them deep. Never leave more than
two buds out of the ground. If YOU
stick them in full length it is Just as
we'll.
advise sticking them slanting-sav
at an angle Of from SOC to 45o and
remember to stick them in 6utt end first
For a live fence or hedge, stick them as
near one foot apart as you can guess.
Five thousand, two hundred and eighty
cuttings will plant mile of live fence.
One man can easily stretch the rope

The other night Il man who lives out
in Columbia Street was kept down
town by business until very late hour,
and his wife, knowing how cold he
would be when he got home, put an
iron on the stove: and when she heard
him open the gate she jumped up, and
hurrled'y wrapping the iron in piece
Of flannel, chucked it in led for him to
warm his great, ugly feet by. The man
was cold, and taciturn, and cross. He
crlwled into bed with Il growi, and
shuddered with cold as he stretched
himself out. Then he gave a yell that
nearly lifted the roof off the house, and
damned his head through the head
board, and screamed fire, and waltzed
out on the floor, and around the loom
in the dark, straddliug rocking chairs,
and breaking his shins on bureau cor
ners, and knocking down brackets with
his shoulders, and upsetting one or two
things, and filling the darkness with
weird, fantastic profanity. When his
wife lighted the lamp, they discovered a
beautiful photograph of sad-iron on
the bottom of that mans foot, and it
was found that the flannel had somehow
got Oft the foot-warmer. The man saws
that hereafter, if he must sleep with a
hardware store, he wants it put in cold.

METHOD OF CuLrIyAT1oN.--As soon
after planting as the weeds and grass
show themselves, commence hoeing.
Hoe every cutting carefully. Hoe all
OF the four foot margin each side of the
row thoroughly. Soon afterwards, as
soon as the cuttings have started SO as
to see the row distinctly, put in the
horse and c9ltivator, and pass up and
down the row often enough to kill all
the grass and weeds and leave all the
four foot margin each side Of the row
mellow. Then hoe carefully. Repeat
this process two or three times before
harvest. Don't allow il weed or bunch
OF grass to 60 to seed. In hoeing and
cultivating, be careful not to stri G the
cutting, or young tree. After harvest,

weeds and grass you can find, throw
it in piles and burn it up. If your trees
are in danger of prairie fires, burn
around them. You all know how to. do
that. Remember! thorough cultira-

won. Neglect this, and YOU will find it
difficult to make satisfactory atonement
by subsequent good treatment. The
second year they will do with half the
cultivation, and at the end Of the second
years growth they will require no fur
tEer cultivation, and will protect them
selves from grass ard weeds. At this
stage ] recommend a liberal mulching

THE GRANGE ADVANCE.
TUESDAY, FEB. 9, 1875.
The New Tax Law.

The State Auditors report con-
tains the following with regard to
the new tax law, which is worthy
the consideration of all tax PAYERS
in the State:
The consideration of the matter .by
the Legislature, resulted in the enact
ment of the new general tax law, which
though imperfect in some respects -
in consequence of the limited time for
its prcparation,-in its general provis-
ions and practical operation, seems to
be efficient and satisfactory.
Such amendments as are obviously
necessary, and were overlooked in the
nasty work of last winter, and others,
which have been suggested by the
partial trial to which it has been sub
iected, will be embodied in /; bill and
submitted to the present legislature for
consideration, and which if adopted,
will, it is believed, make our system Of
taxation as complete and effective, and
at the same time more lenient and less
annoying to the tax payer, than that Of
any other State.
In most other States the collection Of
taxes is Ii summary busincss,-paymcnt
at a certain time is compulsory, and
if delayed, attended with vexatious and
expensive proceedings. Very soon af-
ter taxes become due, demand for pay
ment is made, and if not promptly met,
it becomes the duty of the collector to
to make the taxes upon both real
and personal property by distraint and
sale Of goods and chattcls.
Our mode of collection, as compared
with the compulsory system of other
States, may be called the voluntary
system. ILL taxes levied for the year
becomes due on the first day of Deccm-
Der, and may be paid at that time.
Taxes upon personal property may run
until the first day of February follow
ing before demand for payment can be
made or collection can be enforced,
while taxes upon real property may re-
main unpaid until the first day of June
without penalty or expense, and no de-
mand for payment is ever required,
thus giving the property owners ample
time to make provisions for his taxes
and relieving him from the annoyance
and expense incident to the compulsory
process common in other States.
Taxes always have been and probab~
ly ever will be, regarded as u burden,
and no method of tae-paying made easy
can be devised, yet perhaps our volun-
.tary system, as above explained, more
nearly approximates such Il method
than any other in existence. Certainly
the law can not be made any more leni-
cnt or less stringent in its provisions
without imparing it's force and Destroy
ing the prestige it has gained during
the brief period it has been in opera
ton.
When it is understood that our tax
law is perf"cr"d and that it will be sus.
tanned by t.I' courts, the delinquent
taxes of former years will extinguished
and the current taxes of each year will
be promptly paid. With the certainty
of full collections and no delinquencies
to carry over, only the amount of tax
needed to meet actual expenditures will
be levied annually, which will reduce
taxation to the lowest possible limit.

PoLITICS MAKES STRANGE Bed

in speaking Of the whereabouts of
the ex-rebels,has the following, which
might be considered little strange,
but upon second thought, we find it
only another illustration of the old
saying: "Politics Makes Strange
Bed Fellows" Your professional
politician is always with the MAORI
ty, unless he fails to read the signs
of the times Alright. and the tidal
wave gets ahead of him. There is
another thing a little surprising
about the wonderful transformation
or rebels. The partisan politicians
are always perfectly satisfied if one
of them is elected to office on the
ticket of their party, but if on the
opposite ticket then there is a howl
that the country is going to ruin,

Alabama, was confederate general;
James L. Alcorn, Republican Senator
from Mississippi, was confederate
general; Charles Pelham, Republican
Congressman from Alabama, was a

the Republican Governor of alabama,
was an original secessionist and con-
federate soldier; Alexander White, of
Alabama, a rampant Republican, was
Confederate: McKinstry, Republican
candidate for Lieutenant-Gove of
Alabama, was Confederate soldier
in General Forests command during
the war; Governor Parsons, President
of the "Outrage' Convention at Chat
