EsEia Good OF Rad Move.

( The negro emigration movement
from the Southern States. began the 1st
Of March. When $50 negroes board
ed the steamer Bell of Memphis for
St Louis. Since that time 27C0 ne
grocs have left the States Of Louisiana
and Mississippi for Kansas.
This movement was and is clearly .
political mogement, originated to make
caPitel for the Republican party in
the Presidential campaign of next
year; bur, since the move has been 10
auguratcd, might it not be we'll for the
southern people to consider the situa
ton philosophiealIy as TO whether or
net such emigration Is not mutually ad
vautageous both to the whites aud
blacks.
The ceaselesa Disturbances which
Ilaee existed 10 the extreme Southern
( States between the whites AID blacks,
fomented by political emisar;es. dis
courages the prosperity of those States
as well as Of the whole country, and
1 if the black men of the south voluu-
tarily scatter over the North and West,
the incentive to these Disturbances will
to that extent be removed, and their
actual, practical experience in the
other sections bring TO the negro the
realization Of the fact that he is being
treated as we'll in the South as in the
/ North or West.
The Southern people desire and
need the strong arm Of the coiored
men on their farms and in the various
industries, aud ninety per cent, of tho
colored people will fad after actual ex-
/ pertinent that, the Southern life and
Southern customs to which they
have been born, is more congenial to
their taste and nature; and we say
further that 90 per ceDto the colored
/ people will stay n the South. We
say this Increment now 10 progress is
I a political machine, not designed 10
benefit the colored man, but 10 make
caPjtol for the republican party The
Republican idea is to make 1t appear
( that the negro is being treated 20 bad

The wheat grain Is a fruit consisting of a
seed and its coverings All the middle part
of the grain Is occupied by large, thin cells;
full of powdery substance, which contains
nearly all the starch of the wheat. Outside
the central starchy mass is a single row of
squarlsh cells filled with a yellowish material,
very rich in nltrogenOus that is flesh forming
matter. Beyond this again are six coats or
coverings, containing much mineral matter,
both of potash and phosphates. The utter
most coat is but of little value The mill pro
ducts of these coverings Of the seed are pecul-
larly rich in nutriment, and fine flour is robbed
of large percentage of valuable and nutri-
tlous food Middlings not only contain more
fibrin and mineral matter than fine flour, but
also more fat. The tibrous matter or outer
coat, which is indigestible, forms one-siXth of
the bran, but not onehundIedth of the fine
flour Wheat contains the greatest quantity of
glutin and the smallest of starch; rye, medi.
um proportion of BOTH while III barley oats
and corn the largest proportion Of starch and
the smallest of gluten are to he found. In
,ractce 100 pounds of flour will make from
70 to 49, pounds of bread, a good average be
iir 1876 pounds; hence barrel containing 1876
ponds should yield 266 one pound loavcs.-

\ map agent went into one Of our manutac-

ar elaborate mapot Connecticut, with its towns,
railroads and rivers all properly located Then
it was earnestly and comprehensivcly described
by the agent, who briefly stated the advantage
of such an educational chart to the possessor,
etc.
The workman, looking up very innocently
from his work, remarked
THAT is mighty pretty! Should think 1t
would be first rate in family! What is the
expense of such an artiCle?"
"Only one dollar and fifty responded the
agent. dilating upon the bargain there was in
the value offered for such small amount of
cash. Would you rather have one dollar and
fifty cents than to have that" asked the work
man.
"Certainly," responded the agent
"Well | don't know much about such
things" said the laborer, "but with your ex.
perence, If you feel that you would rather
have dollar and fifty than to have that map
why, think had, too"
The map agent saw that the commonplace
looking workman had bagged his game, and
left the shop without attempting to induce any
of the other workman to invest in his goods.

The Catarrh Remedy Agent.

There Is no reason why the inventor of a
remedy to "cure the worst case of catarrh in
side of five minutes" shouldn't feel il his du-
ty to place bottle ef the same in everybody s
hand-price twenty-five cents; no cure, no

pulled the door.bel on John Il. street the other
day, had none of that timidity in his bearing
which characterizes rag buyers, lightning rod

door opened, and rd.featured woman, about

take root. Larger pots should be given as the

Sandy soils are comparatively unproduct-
i've, chiefly because they are too loose The
object of treating them should be to render
them more compact Still they are plowed as
frequently as other soils and generally, are
plowed deeper. This Of course renders them
more loose. There is no occasion to pillow san

This may be done by an implement that will

It's not good luck that makes good crops,
but it is good work Some farmers always
have good crops good stock, and get good pri-
ces. 1t is good because Whatever they put
their hands to they do we'll. They have clean
fields, good fences, and do good blowing, cul-
tivatins and seeding. They farm with brains
as we'll as hands. If other farmers would imi-
tate their example they would have better
crops Success does not depend so much upon
good luck as it does upon good work.-Cole-
