The official reports show that with few
exceptions the price paid for farm labor IN
the various States of the Union was 3 20 Is
per cent lower during 1879 than the pre-
vious year. In New England, for example,
the average rate was $2O,3l against $22GO
for 1878. The decline in the cost of living
has been in abou. the same ratio. In Min
nesota, California, and other States aud
Territories in the Northwest, wages have
been an exception to the rule throughout
the East. As the wages have increased in
the Pacific States, so has the cost of living
in a much greater ratio. The English ag-
ricultural laborer receives on an average
$l5.6O per month and that without board
and lodging In Ireland, Italy, Spain and
France, it is to l2 per cent less than in
England. In view of this the American
farm laborcr getting SIG and board for eight
months, and in many cases for the whole
year, is doing well.

$500 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Curc,

Some people would rather be humbugged
than to get"value received" for their money.
Hence it is that such persons run after this
and that pretended cure for cataTrh, forget
ting that DR.. Sage's Catarrb Remedy is 50
positive in its effects, that its former pro-
prietor advertised it for years throughout the
United States under Il positive guarantee,
offering 500 reward for an incurable case
and was never called upon to pay this re
ward except in two cases. This remedy has
acquired such fame that branch Office
has been established in London, England,to
supply the foreign demand for it. Sold by
druggists at 80 cents.

Eruit Garden.

EGulI Gafucns
CuRRANTs AND Coos EBERRIEs .-Prune at
once any that have been omitted; abundant
manuring and mulching will increase the
size of the crop and the fruit. So soon as
the leaves are of much size the "worms"
may be expected. Examine the under sur
face of the lower leaves for the eggs, and
destroy all that are found. When holes are
seen in the leaves apply White Hellebore,
either sprinkled dry or mixed in water,
tablespoonful or so to pailiul Of water. 1t
is better to first scad the Hellebore with
little boiling water before adding it to the
pail containing the cold water. Keep
stirred.
AspARAGUs.-Th old ideas about the ell
aborate preparation for an asparagus bed
are out of datej it is as easy to make bed
for asparagus as almost any other plant,and
nothing pays any better for the little trouble.
Set the new beds soon as the plants can be
had, giving it q generous manuring, and
putting the crowns about four inches below
the surface. Rows feet apart, with foot
between the plants, is a good distance Tor
the family garden, but ifroom can be spared
the distance may be increased. Let the
plants grow until the thhd year before cut
ting. The coarse litter should be raked
from the old bed, to make it smooth and
clean, before the stems begin to come through
the ground.
EARLY Potatoes should be put into the
ground at the earliest possible date. When
started in boxes they may be greatly has
tcnedj in planting take care that the tender
sprouts are not broken off. The soil should
be light and warm for early potatoes.

LAwN.-Nothing is more pleasing than
an expanse of smooth, rich, green, nicely
kept grass. The lawn should be one of the
features of every pleasure ground, no mat
ter how limited in extent, and in laying
out the walks and drives they should not
divide the lawn more than can be helped.
In making lawn the soil should be first
thoroughly manured after which, for heavy
soils, Kentucky Blue Grass seed should lie
sown in abundaneei for light soils Red. Top
is best. 1t is well to sow the seed in two or
moro directions, thus securing a more even
distribution, and therefore better turf.

Sparta Expositor.l
Is there a high tax paper or speaker
in the state who will have the manli-
ness and fairness to state that Mr..
Wilson was not the author of the idea
Of litigating the Torbett issue case?
Everybody that read Gov. Marks
message knows that he made tie fol-
lowing recommendation.
Notes Of the bank of Tennessee,
issued after the 9Th day of May, 1861
were r~epudiated in 1865, and in conse-
duence fell to nearly rominal value.
With a hope that the taxpayer would
be required ultimately to take them up,
nearly the whole of them were bought
up by Spectators. The question OF
the liability of the state to receive
them for taxes has been before the
supreme court of the United States
upon a collateral question. which
question was settled adversely to the
state, but the case upon its merits has
never been before hat court. 1t is a
duty the state owes to its taxpayers to
resist the reception of these notes for
taxes in every legitimate mode. 1t is
recommended that a proper committee
employ a competent attorney, at a fee
6xedin advance, to develop the case
for the state, and that the committee
employ the attorney and fix the fee so
both may be subject to your apprO-
val"
This recommendation was carried,
and a bill passed empowering the gov
ernor to appoint counsel to defend the
state. Governor Marks appointed
Hon. S. +. Wilson and John FL. Saw
age. Will any decent man dare to
question Governor Marks motives in
making the appointment, and say that
he was unduly influenced? We think
not. The great office holding and
lfice -breeding element we're very
much shocked that some Of the elect
we're not chosen instead of these pile
bian,' one horse fellows. Again, a
man who so frames a statement
as to purpOsely make a wrong i'm
preston, is guilty of a falsehooe.
The statement that Wilson and Saw.
age either jointly or separately re-
ceived $1,000 for this defense of the
state in this case, is uncOnditionally
false. Only $1,000 we're appropriated
Wilson and Savage received $1,000
each, and there is not a respectable
lawyer in the state but will say that
the fee was a small one, in view of the
time and labor required in the suit.
If anybody is to be slandered, ma
ligned, and lied upon, Governor Marks
is the man. He recommended the
measure in his original message, and
is responsible for the appointment Of
the counsel.
