John Morrissey and other pool holders in
New York having declared all election bets
off, the agitation Of the Presidential question
mas notably decreased. They kept up a fur
Tor for purposes of gain. 1t will be found,
in the course of a few weeks, that Hewitt,
Wood and Randall will be entirely alone.
The Southern democrats are already getting
tired Of being kept in torment and excite
ment by Tilden's bottic-hoders. They be-
gin to think that Hayes will be able to do
more and better for the South, than Tilden
could possibly, had he been elected, and that
under Hayes there is every reason to believe
the South will be restored to comparative
quiet and prosperity.

stimulant of new enterprise and capital.
Surely, we have nothing to lose by trying
different policy. Let the people repudiate
the miserable trading politicians. consult
their own interests, and give an earnest sup
port to The administration OF GOV. Hayes.
The South is our native land. We were born
and raised on Virginia soil. Every emotion
OF our nature is responsive to her welfare.
We have believed, and we now believe, that
the policy we have advocated and now COM
mend is the very best for orr people. With
prejudice in allegiance they will think so too;
and this would have long since been the con-
clusicn OF the popular mind but for the de-
signing demsgogues who have aroused and
infiamed sectional and race preiudices for
their own selfish ends.
We want peace in the South, that mmigra-
ton may find its way here. We want
healthy national sentiment inculcated in Or

may feel free to come here. We want the
laws impaptiallv enforced, and each man
protected and respected in his legal rights.
We want the labor elements to feel secure
and safe in the enjoyment OF the privileges
and immunties che laws award them. These
things are essential to Southern prosperity,

Arack Yaur Wheat.

The following excellent advice to farmers is
given by the ChetOpa Herald:
"The prospect is now that Kansas, and espe-
cially Southern Kansas, will have the largest
and best crop Of wheat ever raised in the State.
While We hear reports of the rust damaging the
wheat very seriously in Texas, and extremely
poor prospects and light acreage in Northern
Missouri and Iowa, Kansas will come to the front
this year as the banner wheat State, she has
been the banner corn State duringthe past year.
This week and next, with continued good wealth
er, we shall see nine-tenths of the wheat cut and
partially stacked; and our object in writing
this article is to advise farmers to stack their
grain. With the supply of breadstuff on hand
in the country at present, should a large portion
of new, uuseasOned wheat be thrown upon the
market it cannot stand it, and, in our opinion,
the prices will be low. 1t is also estimated that
wheat gains in weight by going through the
sweating process, from 10 to Is per cent, which
is q very large gain. Wheat must undergo this
change, and in the stack is the proper place for
it. Every wheat buyer knows the risk he runs
in buying wheat before going through the sweat,
as it is liable to do SO on his hands; it is even
said that it will do 80 in the -four, consequently
millers buy it cautiously and sparingly. There
fore, for these reasons, our earnest advice would
be to farmers, by all MEANS if possible, to stack
your wheat, have it threshed in good condition,
and well eleansed before bringing to market, and
you may rest assured that whatever the price
may be that you realize, it will be better than if
you thresh out Of the shock, and flood the mar
ket with tough, uDseasoned grain. A word to
the wise is sufficient"

There are advocates of three theories namely,
planting in the Fall, in early Spring, and late
Spring and again, others have serious objec-
tions to any or all of these plans. One grower
says he would not plant any kind of tree in
the Fall on heavy soil, as they will be often
thrown out by the frost. We transplanted fine
lot of evergreens NORWAY sprucc) in August, as
recommended by nurseryman, protected them
but they were all dead in the Spring. We tried
planting in early Spring, but had the same re-
suit. At last tried the first two wenks of June,
and succeeded admirably. Transplanted some
hemlOck Spruce in September and first of 0cto-
Der, taking care to mulch the roots of the trees
These, too, have kept well. From our own per-
sonal experience, the best time to plant ever
green trees is between the 18th of May and 18th
of June, and for hardy evergreens the month of
September or October is good. Mulch the ground
well, and be particular to see that the trees are
well packed, and the roots kept moist and unex-
posed. Choose wet, moist day for digging, and
also for transplanting. Our own experience in
transplanting evergreens has been to plant in
the latter part of May and first two weeks of
June. An evergreen should be planted as soon
after it is taken from the ground as possible
Do not let the roots get at all dry. When planting
pulverize and fix the soil well around the roots.

pour cold water on it as well as on the body.

1t has long heen known that it is iniudicious
for any one to go into water to battle inst after
eating full meal, but it is not known that the
practice may result in death. This latter fact
seems to have been demonstrated by the recent
death in q bath in Bristol, England, of a boy
thirteen years old. He had never had fit, and
is believed to have been in perfect health
When found in the water the crown of his head
was just above the surface. and he was standing
in a STOPPING position, with his face just under
the water. At the place where he was the wa
ter was only three feet four inches deep, while
the boys height was four feet nine inches. The
temperature of the water was 40 degrees. The
medical testimony disclosed the fact that the de-
ceased had eaten heartily just befereentering the
water, OF at least he had not given his food time
to digest. He had vOmted large quantity of
food, and when found his mouth and throat
were full The opinion was expressed in the
medical testimony, and endorsed by the YER
dict of the jury, that death resulted from
epilepsy, brought on by the dangerous practice
of entering the water Immediately after eating a
meal.

How TO GET RID OF TREE STUMPs.-General
Colquitt, of Georgia, in a recent address, gives
the following two ways of doing this /:
ITO remove stpmps from a field, all that is
necessary is to have one or more sheet-irOn
chimneys, some four or five feet high. Set fire
to the stump and place the chimney ever it, so
as to give the requisite draught at the bottom.
1t will draw like stove. The stump will soon
be consumed. With several such chimneys, of
dlnerent sizes, the removal of stumps may be
accomplished at merely nominal labor and ex-
pense."
In the Autumn, bore hole one to two inches
IN diameter, according to the girth of the stump,
Verucally IN the centre of the latter, and about
eighteen inches deep. Put into it from one TO
two ounces OF saltpetre; fill the hole with wa.
ter, ana plug up close. In the ensuing Spring.
take out the plug and pour in about one or two
gilis OF Kerosene oil, and ignite it, The stump
will smouioer away, without blazing. to the

Why TREES DK.-A practical tree planter

who had, couple Of days previous, obtained
some trees from the nursery. There stood the
trees, with bare roots, exposed to a dry wind
When asked why his trees were not in the
ground, he replied that il bad not yet been con-
venient TO plant them, so he had put them in a
nice, cool place, where the fresh wind would
have good chance at them, and ended with the
compliment inquiry as to whether it was not the
best he conld have done with them. He had no
idea how the wind wind was evaporating the
moisture from the exposed roots, and how soon
they would become utterly worthless.
