except those found on every farm.
1t takes but small patch of land TO
produce nifty quarts of strawberries per
DAY during the hearing season, and there
are lew places where they will not bring
at least ten cents a quart. By having
late and early varieties, the strawberry
season may be extended several weeks.
There are few persons who will DENY
themselves strawberries if they are to be
had. Grapes have some advantage over
straw berries. They are not as perishs
able, and may be transported long dis
tances without injury. 1t costs more to
get start with grapes than with straw
berries, and it takes much longer to
bring the vines into bearing. Matured
grape vines, however, require little care,
and are almost certain to produce a crop
every year. There is little trouble in
keeping grapes till Thanksgiving and
Christmas, when there is always a de-
mand for them at good prices. With
grapes and strawberries to dispose of, any
farmer boy can keep himself supplied

The sound of the moving machine is
heard in the land, on those few bright
days that answer the demands for old
fashioned hay weather. Our farmers
still hold to the doctrine make hay
while the sun shines" If we had q few
dozen acres to get in, we are much afraid
we should follow the same rule, for The
old ways are strong with US. Yet there
is the best evidence for the contrary
practice. Scores of farmers certify to
their entire success in cutting their grass
and putting it into the NOW in a per
tectly green condition, or best with only
a little whiting. Especially is this
recommended as to clover. As We have
already said, notwithstanding the strong
testimony as to the entire safety of this
process, and the superior quality of the
hay produced, the idea makes us feel a
little "crawley," and we shouldn't ven
ture on trying the new wav at first on a
large scale, nor without the advice of
somebody who had succeeded in it. At
any rate, NOW of green hay should be
covered with a foot of straw to absorb
the moisture. The latter will otherwise
cause the top OF the hay to decay, which
will make the whole NOW musty. But
with the straw, which becomes itself rot
ten, the hay is left perfectly sweet. That
Is, those who have tried it tell us so. On
one point, however, we have no, doubt, and
that ID that hay should rarely be got in
the same day that it is cut, but that
after drying that day, it does best if
thrown into large cocks and then left
untouched for the next day. On the
third day, the hay will have sweat or fer
mentet, and its excess of moisture be
brought out OF it. Then shake it up a
little so that it may air for q short time,
and it will be in fine condition for keep
ing in the NOW and coming out sweet in
any future year. OF course, in this case,
the hay must not get wet, and hay caps
must b. put on at the slightest show of
rain. Indeed, they are worth using even
in heavy dew, ridiculous as it msy seem
to one who has never tried them

the front entrance is elegantly aud taste

about among the graves much neglect. In
three OF four instances, where old graves
have been opened through mistake, they
have not been retillei, but let open, in a

by tho citizens Of Red Land and vicinity to
come to Homer and vicinity and learn what

is thought has been foully deak with about
thrcc-quarters of n mile east Of Red Land.
The facts are about these: 4 gentleman
was put across Martins ferry, on Bo,Iceau,
Oh the l2th day Of June, late in the even
ing, riding black pony, two white hind
feet, and white about one inch above hocf
Of right fore foot; had an old pair Of sad
dlc-bags without flaps, saddle half-rig, and
martingales, the latter seemisgly quite
new; the saddle seemed to have been used
about six months. The rider was dressed
in domestic shirt, coat carried on the saddle,
wore coitonade pants, and was slightly
built though tall His statement 70 the
ferryman was that his destination was Tex

used almost verbatim the language Of the
writer of the statement borne by Mr., Coylc,
Mr. Charles Boehuer, very intelligent
young gentleman Of Red Land
Mr.. Coylc, in pursuit of information

lived in tho northern part Of Arkansas. liz
was on his way to Nacogdoche-, Texas, a

that he was murdered by negro on
place owned by Mr.. Joe Franks near Re-

suspected party, silver coin which he ca

1t appears the settled conviction
about the war department at Wash
ingtOn that We are to have another
Indian war this summer, and that
we may deem ourselves fortunate is
we can confine the discomfort to
tribes already in arms against us.
The mutinous spirit seems to have
infected about every tribe that Sit
ting Bulls cmisssarles have been
able to reach. With no data on
which to found such charges other
than that furnished by the history
of our Indian policy. the dishonesty,
incompetency, or both, of fudian
