Searching for a Horse Thief.

Police headquarters were visited yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff Jones, of Hudson, Wis
consin, who is securing the country in search
of horse thief named Joseph II. Secor, who
succeeded in getting away with wagon and
team from New Richmond, Wis. During
his conversation with Chief Weber, Mr.. Jones
made particular inquiry as to the reward for
capturing horse thief, being informed that
while reward of $3.50 was offered for the
apprehension of horse thief in this State,
the reward was not operative when the crime
had been committed outside of the State
The following description was given of the
thief and property, which, strange to say, has
no reference whatever to description of the
horses
Joseph 81. Secor, barber by profession, age
about 30 to IS, feet inches high, weighs
from lao to $50 pounds, light complexion,
very dark hair and moustache, large blue
eyes, wore cloth boots, has a slouchy appear

LATE SOWING.
The Soil for Wheat,

The soil for wheat must have substance or
as some farmers would term it, body. Clay
loan comes the nearest to the perfection of
wheat soil sand is the farthcst away There
must be cOmpactness and degree OF mellow
ness. Wheat will produce well on clay land,
if the surface Is made mellow, and manure Will
do this The clay lands IN early days produc-
ed large yields of wheat; but that was when
the vegetable mold was abundant and the clay
was lightened by 1t. Clay soils MANFRED on
the surface Will grow good wheat now, if they
are worked when in a condition to be friable
and not to pack They must be under-draned
so that the water will drain off freely; for
clOgged and water-sOakcd land will not pro-
duCe wheat AT the same time moist soil Is
friendly to wheat, such rs the loans. Gravel
ly loan and sandy loam unless too poor, will
produce fine wheat Such soils should be well
manured and always on the surface, and then
pressed down as compactly as possible with
heavy roller. This should not be done when
the soil is wet, but when it will pack without
sticking. This work should be done after the
ground is fitted for the seed and before the seed
is put IN. Wheat wants mellow surface but
the ground under that must be compact The
roots then take firm hold and the winds and
frostS and hearings do not so much effect them
A mellow surface should be somewhat uneven,
which will afford protection better than when
rolled smooth. BY rolling just ahead of seed
ing, the good effects of the roller may be had
in the SOIL and its bad effects on the surface,
avoided. \ drill will leave the surface IN a
condition TO check the snow before the wind
and secure the protection it may afford. The
same desirable results may be obtained by
broadcast sowing, provided the seed is covered
with acultivatOr, as it always should be- Har-
rowing in does not cover deep enough. When
narrowing in, the roofing is too near the sur
face, and the young plant is far more liable to
be thrown out by the frosts, and also to become
exposed by the winds blowing the dirt away
from 1t, This Is trial the crop is liable to in
the early spring-hence deep roofing is impor-
tant. Some farmers used to pillow their wheat
under In order to secure deep roofing. This
was before drills and cultivators were in use
Standing water is destructive to wheat; all the
hollows should have an outlet to allow the sur
face water to run off freely.-Rural Nae
Yorker.

In flowers there are the most varied contrv-
anCes for the preservation of their organs
against the attacks of animals of all kinds. In
some we find the result obtained by the secre,
ton of dstastetul substances such as aka
loids, resins and ethereal oils. 1t is remarkable
that as q rule herblvorous animals have a dis
taste for flowers. Anyone may observe how
carefully cattle and sheep avoid plucking most
of the flowers which abound in their pastur-
age. The beauty Of the blossoms have no at
traction for them; the richness of the Odors
seem only to repe them 1t is only when the
flowers are fresh that they are thus carefully
avoided by rumInant animals. When their
work is done and they are dried up the chemi.
cal compounds change; they are now readily
eaten mixed with hay.-N. Y. Sun.

and recalls the words Of Liebig The sewers

the prosperity of the Roman farmer, and when

the means of feeding her population, the same
sewer devoured the wealth of Sicily, Sardinia,

Thomas Bayley Potter, the English member
of parliament now on a visit To the United
States, says that his fellow-cOuntrymen would
no doubt rejoice at the re election of Grant to
the presidency. for the reason that they have
an idea that if he was once more put at the
executive head OF affairs he would inaugur-
ate kind of personal government, and the
tendency Of that would be to disrupt the re-
public" This is the real essence of the Grant
boom. Bismarck, Besconsfield and the car
are all in favor Of it.-Sf. Louis Republican.

From the recent able speech of Senator Pen.
dletOn, we take the following:
Every department of our government, every
representative of the sovereignty of the people,
is in the hands of party; every element of
power is in the hands of party; every office
and honor and emolument is the price of party
success. 1t is madness, it is crime, to con
tide to party the power of bringing troops to
the polls where It's fate is to be decided"
This Is a clear and convincing setting forth
of the Democratic position in regard to the
employment of the army at elections. The
military supervision at the ballotboX under a
popular form of government, could only be
proposed by desperate and INSCRIPTIONS par
ty determined to perpetuate its power at any cost
and at all hazards. 1t is a device of monarch
cal despotism, and as foreign to the principles
and practices Of a republic as "divlnely com.
missioned royalty and hereditary aristocracy."
Even England, which has both these dares
not bring bayouet within sight of the polls.
If Beaconstield, strong rs he is, attempted to
retain his majority in the new parliament by
such means, he might think himself exceed
ingly fortunate to escape the fate of STAFFORD.
The American people have borne for years u

In one of the school districts too many parents
reported no children IN their families, and in

in the district the school officers rcsorted to an
ingenious measure. Two monkeys were gayly

a brass band, We're carried though the streets

made their appearance. The procession was

LIVE STOCK.
During the hurry of work at this busy sea-

the most important requisites for health and
thrift is regularity in feeding and watering
This refers not only to time of feeding, but to
quantities and qualities of fodder Now that
grass Is past its best state, the stock may have
some roots pulled for them, or some corn-fod-
der cut, and young animals will be greatly ben

LATE SOWING.
1t has been usual to SOW rye as late as Octo-
Der and November for green fodder in the
spring This is not profitable practice. The
rye comes up very thin and poor, and makes
but light crop. In the writer's experience it
has been found better to pillow the ground in
the fall, top-dress it through the winter with
fine manure and as early in the spring as pos
slble harrow IN four bushels of rye spread the
manure at the same time with dish harrow
Unless there is some good reason for late SOW
