AN EXTRA SESSION. 1t is now said
that an extra session Of Congress will
be called in April and that it is rendered
necessary by the defeat of the army ap-

Democratic House having insisted upon a

New England Rad icsAlissaa and the
Southern Policy of NIr. Hayes

The New England Radicals are disap-
proving of the conservative pledges of
the President elect in reference to the
Southern States. Here is a resolution
which passed at large meeting in New
Hampshire on the I'd inst;
| Resolued, That in the minds of New
! Hampshire Republicans it is right and Just
/ that the Republicans OF Louisiana and
| South Carolina who have stood shoulder co
| shoulder with us in the recent contest, aud
| have at terrible sacrifice OF both property
and life, carried their States for Hayes and
Wheeler, and elected Republican State gov
| ernments. should be sustained BY the whole
moral and physical force of the National
| government. And that are opposed TO
any and all compromises which NAV in aay
manner surrender those STATE governments.
| lawfully elected by the Il 'publlcanS, to the
Southern Democracy.
This resolution is direct assault upon
the promised policy of Mr.. Hayes. The
meeting was addressed by Mr. IL. K.
Pease, Postmaster at Vieksburg, who
seems to have gone on pilgrimage to
New England. We take it for granted
that Postmaster General Key will not be
long in giving him his walking papers.
The Democratic members of Congress
authorized the publication of an address
to the people in reference to the remark
able proceedings which have robbed the
people of their choice of President. The
address dwells at great length upon the
facts which established Mr.. Tildens
right to the votes of Louisiana and Flor
ida, and to the arbitrary rulings Of the
Electoral Commission; but strange to
say the address passed over in silence
that sum of all iniquities, the Electoral
bill itself, the chosen instrumentality
through which this grievous wrong was
perpetrated. To discuss the Presden
tial catastrophe and omit this chapter
was disngenuous. and sounds like
recitation of Hamlet with Hamlet left
out. The members of the Democratic
National Executive Committee who
thought it worth while to attend the flu
neral, Endorsed the address; and there
fore it has gone to the country with a
double christening: but this does not
make up for its glaring deficiency.

osed otherwlse as may be thought best. A
crop grown from such seed will be likely to
weld much better, and be more certain in
every respect. Some think that the increase
per acre is from to bushels.
The wheat plant requires rich soil. 1t
is dainty feeder, and the soil must contain
an abundant supply of all the elements ne
cessary to its growth and development and
be SO well cultivated and in such excellent
condition that these elements of growth can
be readily obtained. Good paying crops
cannot be grown year after year from the
same piece Of land, nor from land from
Which grain crops of some sort have been
taken dozen or more years in succession,
where no fertilizers are applied. Even a
liberal supply of barn-yard manure alone,
is fount to be insufficient at the East to Sc
cure bountiful crop, and surely our West
ern prairies are no exception to the general
rule. The same principles will apply here
as elsewhere. In this section of country
there is usually a sufficient growth of straw,
indeed in some seasons a very heavy growth,
but the yield in grain does not always cor
respond. This seems to show a deficiency
in the soil of the elements necessary to form
the grain, and that some special fertilizers
are needed The progressive farmer will
endeavor to ascertain what these are, and
whether it will pay to employ them.
The foregoing statement seems to point
Enthusiastically to two definite conclusions,
without a proper observance of which we
cannot expect to be successful in growing
wheat
l. The seed must consist of the largest
kernels of the very best variety; that is, OF
some variety that has not been allowed to
deteriorate by half cleaned seed, Or by other
careless management.
2. The soil must be of proper quality
specially prepared, and naturally rich, OF al
least not allowed to have lost a large proper
ton of its fertility by continuous course ot
cropping. P'airie Farmer.

WHEAT CULTURE.

AS the season for putting in the spring
wheat crop arrives. farmers are generally in
great hurry; sometimes a little too much
soto do their work III the best manner. A
few words respecting the proper preparation
OF seed and soil may not be amiss at this
time. Wheat generally does best on fall
plowlng. Then, in the spring, as soon as
ue frost is out of the ground and the sur
lace becomes sufficiently dry to pulverize
hcely it should be narrowed very thorough
y, or what is better, gone over with cult
sator to make the surface quite mellow to
she depth of three or four inches. In regard

no1ilng but wheat, and tina. of the largest
kernels. Such seed will be much more like

use IN this vicinity it would be necessary to
run The grain through two or three times in
order to screen and blow out all the lighter

The Secretary of the Interior, acting upon
the request made by this convention, that
commission OF experts be appointed by the
general government to Investigate the habits
of the locusts in their native haunts, or orig
inal breeding places in the Far West, has
designated the following gentlemen as mem
bers of the locust commission: Professor
G. ". Riley, State Entomologist of Missouri;
Professor Cyrus Thomas, State Entomolo-
gist of Illinois and Professor A. S. Packard
Jr.. of Massachusetts,, editor of the Ane1rican
Naturalist Mr.. Packard will, it is under
stood, be the Secretary Of the Commission.
The commission will have its headquarters
at Washington, and Western office at st.
Louis.
The work, it is expected, will be divided.
Professor Riley taking the area east OF the
! mountains and south Of the fortieth parallel,
Professor Thomas the country north OF the
fortieth parallel to the British American
line, excepting Montana. and Professor
Packard taking Montana, Idaho and Utah.
The principal objects OF the commission
will be to ascertain what agency can be
brought to bear in the destruction OF the

It is supposed that British America is one

Now, many of our farmer friends think
that this is all bosh, and will say that it af-
forls good subject for an agricultural edi-
tor to let of some of his extra gas about, but
nothing more. Such people generally refuse

4 easily demonstrated than these facts. Take,
\ for example, dry hides. Those that are

much as they would be if cut full of holes
and allowed to dry in an ungainly shape, OF
left exposed to the sun rain. There are many
other things we could mention. There is
really not a single article which the farmer
produces which cannot be marketed to ad-
vantage. The habit Of doing things well
and in the proper time should be taught
with particular care to the farmers sons anG
daughters. Lessons well taught and habits
well formed in early life, will be remembered
