AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
"old and Worn Out"


The Athens Post. in it's last issue,
contains an article under the above
head which reflects our sentiments
so fully that we reproduce it entire !:
Every once in a while some one
drops iRto the printing Office with
the remark, "Well, friend Ivlns, i
want to pay up, renew my subscrip-
ton for a year, and have the ad
dress of the paper changed; Pm
going to move" GAIL right; sorry
you're going away, however; sorry
the county is TO lose another good
family. What's the matter? What
do you want to move for? There
ought to be potent reasons to in
duce a man at your time of life to
break up old associations and
abandon his native heath and ances-
trail hills. You'll probably travel a
long distance before you find a
better country than this to live and
die in. Tell US what's the matter2"
"Well-the fact is, my lands got
poor and worn out, don't produce
the stuff it used to, and Pm begin
ing to find it harder and harder
each year to make buckle and
tongue meet, so l concluded to sell
out and go to where land is fresh
and rich" That's it, exactly
"Old and worn outT Now, when
we tell that man if he'll get aboard
the train with US, in less than thirty
six hours we will show him plenty
Of lands that have been under cult
walton for hundred years or more,

ur-fold greater than when the
virgin soil was first tickled by the
pillow and the hoe, he appears per
fectly incredulous; and yet it is
true. But that man will move"
as hundreds like him do every year.
If he has anything left at the end
of his journey with which to buy
erich, fresh land" in a dozen or
fifteen years, should he live that
long, he will want to "move" again,
and most likely for the same identi-
cal reasons. The best lands and
deepest soils in the world can be
depleted and starved to death by
the wrong sort of cultivation. We

Sleep as a Farm Crop.
By Timotby Bunker. ESQ,

ny 1imOlny Duukers Esq.
"Well, Doctor" inquired Mrs.
Bunker, "the railroads are built;
the folks keep coming-what are
you going to do about itT'
"Do the best we can, Mrs.
Bunker" continued the doctor.
There is so much ia society, and
in our artificial habits, that sleep
will no longer grow, as wild plant.
and take care of itself We must
cultivate it as We do corn and pota-
toes. There is no health without
sound sleep; and thrift on the farm,
as everywhere else, depends largely
upon physical vigor. Sleep is a
powerful medicine, which helps to
cure irritabiiity of temper, pevish
ness, uneasiness of any Kind. like
oervous dyspepsia, Ii Is good for

Bee Notes for September.
By i. c. Root.

by LIE " tlOOL.
In most locations the season for
honey gathering to any great ex
tent has now passed. Some sec
tions will afford honey from sweet
scented clover (Melilot), and others
from Golden Rod, Aster, Eupato-
rum, and other fall flowers. In
the August notes urged the
necessity of not endeavoring to
secure too much surplus, and thus
leave the brood combs with too
little honey for the bees to winter
upon. There will be cases where
the honey yield closes very abruptly,
when the combs will be fully occu
pied with brood, ind the honey
almost entirely stored above in the
boxes. Where this is the case, the
bees must be fed. Where fall
flowers are abundant, and more
honey may be stored than is neces-
sary for winter, empty combs
should be supplied, and honey
stored for spring feeding.
What shall we feed? If there
are exceptional cases where, from
improper management, or from
causes referred to above, we find
feeding necessary, what shall we
feed? l answer, let it be pure
honey. 1 have heretofore advocated
the use of the best GA" sugar, but
time has changed in our practice.
The darker grades of honey are
now so low in price that it is no
longer to our interest TO feed cane
sugar and sell our honey. But our
strongest argument against feeding
other sweets than honey is, that
great efforts must be made by bee
keepers everywhere to preserve the
standard of purity of honey. For
this reason, urge that no other
food than honey be used for our
bees. l am well aware that cane
sugar may be used for wintering in |
such a manner that all of it will be
consumed by the bees, but as we
advance in the business, l find it
desirable to feed more freely
While SO many articles Of a sac
charine nature are being so freely
and vilely adulterated, bee keepers
should avoid even the appearap ce

culturist for Sept.

Railroads and Agriculture.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson writes as
follows under this head in the Sep
tembe number of the American
Agriculturist: The outside observer,
who is neither farmer nor railroad
manager, but who can weigh testi
mony, finds ample evidence that the
farmers of the east will not be sub
ject much longer even to what they
believe to be the abuse of railroads,
and "ensilage" Is one of the great
forces that may make them indie
pendent. In fact, if practical men
may ever be permitted to indulge
in visions, the visions that may
soon become accomplished facts, of
vast increase in the productive
power of land; quick transmission
of persons; if we can send light
over a wire; if we can attach to
the same posts another wire by
which to transmit power by cleo
tricity, SO that each farmer may
perhaps keep power on tap in his
barn to cut his own fodder, churn
his butter, and do all the heavy
work. If we are to accomplish here
what is now being actually done in
France, that is, operate an electrical
machine by small water-power on
the farm and run the plows by the
power developed by electricity; If,
l say, all these things begin to be
apparent, that are so bewildering
that one even gets mixed up in at
tempting to describe them, and is
not quite sure what relation his
parts of speech bear to each other
why then perhaps the millennium of
the economist is nearer at hand than
it has been supposed to be; the
time when intelligence and integrity
and a very moderate amount OF
labor, will insure so good subsis
tence that it Will not pay to be rich.
The evil to which L refer is for every
man to rush to the legislature and
attempt to procure a statue for
small difficulties which,
in the nature of things, are part
Of progress, and which time only |
;an cure. 1t is useless to try to |
cure petty evils by statute which |
will only be aggravated the more
hey are legislated upon. Let any !
nan ask himself whether or not he
would petition the average legisla-
ure to provide by statute what
,rop he should raise, what manure
lie should use, what breed of stock
lie should buy, and how much be
hould pay for it, whether or not lie
hould ensilage his fodder; or who
lie should trade with, and on what
erms; or what wagon he should
se, and how much he should pay
or teaming-in short let him con-
ider that he may be as subject to
,eddlesome legislation as any one,
nd perhaps he will doubt that the ,
versge legislator is competent to ,
perate a railroad.

The newspapers act very foolishly
sometimes. They give prominence to
every event or fact that tends to throw
gloom and dependency over the
country. Most of them did not notice
the Niagara Falls Bankers convention,
except to tell how Mr.. Thompson, a
lugubrious old grumbler from New
York, predicted another panic soon.
Why not give the facts contained in the
score of able papers read by other
bankers, which conclusively prove that
the country is in condition of unprece-
denied prosperity that utterly negatives
a possibility of a panic! A little dis
erection goes long ways sometimes.

tunes, and do not sit down and weep
over them. Such papers are a curse to

Mr.. Leon Godefrey, Mr.. Win
ships ieweler, showed US Monday
a hunting knife which he brought
with him from France and the
blade of which is twenty iches
long. The handle is the most no.
tieesble part of it. 1t was cast of
brass and has on it numerous fig
ures, representing game of all spe
cies and huntsmen in pursuit. Each
huntsman has a knife like the one
spoken of. Indeed, Mr.. Godefrey
says in France game was rarely
ever hunted with anything except
dogs and the knife. 1t is interest
ing TO look out the figures upon the
handle and admire the bravery of
the men who used them, yet we
think we would feel much better to
stand off hundred yards behind
tree with a shot gun leVeled on
boar, rather than be up punching
at him with twenty-inch piece of
steel.

should remain the entire week. And all
should come with that in view, as once on the
ground it will be almost impossible to decide
to return home before the exposition ends.
Certainly all will want to remain over Wednes-
day, because on that day is to be the
STALLION TRoTTING RACE,
one of the grandest trotting struggles ever seen
in the Northwest, Lady Rolf in trot against
the 2:l3 of st. Julien last year, and Prof.
Kings great aerial ship Will be started on its
voyage to New York city-the trip being es-
pecially undertaken to prove the presence of
an air current steadily flowing from west to
east, with the purpose, this fact proven, of a
balloon voyage across the Atlantic ocean.
thursday it will be still more difficult to leave.
for on that day is to be the great four mile
heat running race for purse of $4,000, the
grandest running event given anywhere in this
country this year, and the equal of which was
never before attempted in the Northwest, with
two other running races, each with large and
fine fields of horses. And having seen Miss
Jewett and Miss Cook ride Tuesday, all will
have consuming desire to see Miss Cook and
Mrs Robinson measure skill and endurance in
their twenty mile ride, and as that comes
Friday no Que will want to leave before thai
event is decided, so the only satisfactory plan
will be to come Tuesday morning with the in
tention of staying through the week.
While it is already certain that an immense
crowd of people is to be in attendance, no
one need to remain away for fear of lack OF
accommodations. Between Minneapolis and
st. Paul all who come will be comfortably
lodged and well fed. So come along and you
will never regret it, but rather the week of
big events and rare enjoyment Will be long
to be remembered and pleasant mile post in
your existence.

The yarietv Opening ro-Nieht.

The amusement-loving public will be glad
to learn that Mr.. Pat. Cenley will this even
ing reopen his variety aud vaudeville theater,
on the corner of Third and St. Peter streets,
for the fall and winter season with an entirely
new company. Since the fire which inter-
rupted the last season, the theater has been en-
tirely refitted, and is now one of the most COM
plete and tasteful variety theaters in the West
The auditorium has been newly furnished,
and particular pains have been .aken to secure
perfect ventilation. The stage has been vastly
improved and the private boxes redecorated,
and all in all the patrons of the theater will find
it all they could desire. Mr.. Conley has engaged
the best variety talent that could be OBJ
tained in New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago, and can safely promise an entertainment
Of rare excellence. His vocalists are ladies of
rare accomplishments, who have won praises
from the most fastidious audiences at the
East; his song and donce people are the best
that could be obtained for money, and those
who will maintain the parts in the farces are
recognized as thorough artists. 1t is needless
to say that Mr.. Conley will serve his patrons
with refreshments of the first order. The
opening will be grand event, and the season
promises to be the most successful ever expe-
rienced in st. Paul.
