No plant is more improved by choice Of
seed and careful cultivation than corn. To
deter birds from pulling the seed and cut
worms from nipping the sprouts, it has been
found effective to roll the seed In pine tar,
and then In plaster. The scent Of the tar will
remain long time. and will be disasreeab.e
to the yermin. The tar can be most easily
applied by mixing 1t with hot water, and
then stirring in the corn.

EDITOR TINES: Ought the Greenback
men to take Gov. Robinson's advice and
make no Independent stand? l answer !:
that depends upon circumstances. If the
Republican and Democrat parties Of Kansas
20 into the canvass this fall with Green
back candidates and Greenback platforms,
then see no need for third party. If
Republicans commit themselves to the
Greenback policy in making their nomina-
tons and declaring th,ir principles, and
the Democrats don't, then Democrats who
are Greenbackers should vote the Green
back Republican ticket; and vice versa.
If the Democrats recognize the Greenhack
principle in making up their ticket and
platform, and the Republicans do not,
then
GREENBACK REPUBLICANS
should vote so much of the Democratic
ticket as is Greenback. That, 1 think, is
what the Ex-Governor and S. \. Wood,
both Of them leading Republicans, have
given us to understand they intend to dc.
Probably, that is about the best thing We
can do but then there must be no foeling
about it. There must be no uncertain
ring a. to either the candidates or the prin-
clples. We go for a peoples instead of
bankers and brokers' currency; in other
words, for treasury notes instead Of bank
notes. We go for currency abundant for
all practical purposes, though not redun-
dant. We mt the National Banks, and
all other cr.u yances which tend to az
grandize the few at the expense of the
many, knocked in the head, and a none
tary system adopted that shall operate with
equal Lenefit to all. We want candidates
committed fairly and squarely to these
things Ii the old parties want our sup
port they must give US such principles and
candidates as can be trusted TO carry them
out. Such men as William A. Phillips
and Ex-Gov. Robinson would do.

borers or blight, the leaves al. curling up and
the young fruit falling of. The apples are

growth. Small fruit will b. in abundance.

one or two years before blowing under. Clover
should be sowed as early possible in the spring
on wheat and narrowed in. The narrowing
does not injure the wheat but is a benefit to it,
Likes TO SOW wheat after oat stubble.
Thomas A. Hays said he believed in thorough
tillage before planting anything. The ground
should be fine and compact. He would advocate
turning down clover. Does not like corn ground
or stubble wheat if he can help it. The reason
why some farmers do not have good wheat ai-
ter oats is because they put nothing on the oats.
Drills clover In ahead OF the oats and rolls the
ground afterwards, Last year he plowed 20
acres. Put one-third in buckwheat, one.third
in peas and one-third in rye. No fertilizer was
used They were turned down in September and
the land put in good condition. The buckwheat
was very large, and there he had the best wheat
George E. Silver said his present practice is to
put one-half his corn ground each year in wheat,
| following the wheat stubble with wheat Agreed
| with remark made at previous meeting by
Mr.. Archer, that we should not raise one crop
| to the detriment of another. Likes Mr. Gias-
| COWS plan of following clover with wheat, and
| believes more benefit is derived from the roots
| than from the tops.
| William Webster said that farmers could not
always follow the best system. Turning clover
down will make wheat certain, but he would not
hesitate to put wheat in corn ground and follow
wheat with wheat, if he used fertilizers, Was
| no special advocate of oats, but would rather
raise crop of oats than let the land lie idle
1t would be better to sow clover if it is certain
to take. Any wheat crop is an uncertainty un-
less the ground is thoroughly prepared
| Mr.. 5. Il. Silver reported that lie had planted
| some potatoes received from the Agricultural
Department at Washington. They produced 4
bushels from halfa peck, and proved 10 be supc-
rior to the Early Rose.
Mr.. Munnikhuysen also reported the result of
some Patent Office potatoes. One variety, plant
ed on the Sd of April, came up ten days earlier
than the Early Rose. The vines were remarka-
bly, small, and are now all dead. The potatoes
are as large as those planted, and when cooked
are white, mellow aud delicious. He thought
they would ripen in six or seven weeks from The
time of planting.
Adjourned to meet at Mr.. Geo. r. Glasgow's,

ARM CRUSHED BY BARN DooR.--Last
Friday afternoon a thunder storm, accom-
panied by violent wind, passed over por-
ton of the county. During its progress
Josias Morgan, aged 66 years, who was en-
ployed on Mrs. Priscilla Webster's farm, near
Sandy Hook, was standing near the side of q
large barn door, which was propped back
The wind blew the prop out and the door
swung around rapidly and with tremendous
force, catching Mr. Morgan's left arm be-
tween the door and the post to which the
hinges were attached. Itrequired the united
force of five men to open the door to re-
lease him. DR.. Wake B. Munnikhuysen was
called to the case, who found that the mans
arm was broken at the elbow joint, and
that it was also terribly crushed above and be-
low that point. The injury is serious, and it
is thought amputation will be necessary.

The county tax is 12 cents greater than
last year, and the State tax has also been in
creased II cents on the 800. The increase
in the county tax, amounting in the aggre-
gate to nearly $4,000, is owing to the large
amount required to repair the roads and re-
place bridges carried away by the great storm
of last October.
The appropriation for roads for 1879 is

Quite n sensation was created here on Satur-
day, by the conductor of the through freight
stopping his train to notify Mr.. Smith, the
Station Agent, that a man was lying dead along
side the track short distance above the station
1t was supposed he had been struck by the eX-
press train, which had passed north but a short
time before, and Mr. Smith hastily gathered
some assistance and hurried to the scene On
their arrival it was found that the man was not
dead but dcaddrunk, and said he was lyiup in
the ditch to cool his feet. Finding they could
do nothing for him they returned TO the station
and left Inn to the enjoyment of his own
thoughts Qf he mad any, undisturbed Later
in the day the express train south mo. 25,)
stopped at Aberdeen and again notified Mr..
Smith that a man was drowned in small ditch
which runs beside the track. Mr. Smith again
repaired TO his assistance and found him living
in mud hole which contained about two inches
of water. When found the second time he was
about gone from the combined effects Of the sun
and the whisky which he had drank. Some one
caught him by the shoulder, and turned him
water up to his eyes. lie was so far gone that
he had not strength to raise his head and would
soon have drowned If assistance had not been
there to remove him. He was carried into the
woods adjoining, and efforts made to arouse
him, but without success, and he was left in the
