Decorative painting has reached high
state Of perfection in Cairo There seems to
have existed for some time past rivalry
among the merchants of the city as to who
should have the most attractive front.
There is much to be pleased at in this
rivalry, and it is only to be hoped that it
will continue until every house in the city
presents an attractive appearance. The
painters Of the city have now more than
ever before an opportunity to display their
originality and ability, and several of them
have shown that they possess superior
talent. No doubt the Commercial avenue
merchants look upon the elegant fronts Of
their business houses as good advertise
ments and not without reason.
But they are more than
an advertisement for the individual
merchant, they are an advertisement for the
whole city which, few strangers will fail to
notice with favor. The people of Cairo,
too, will feel proud of their enter
prising business men, and the painters will
fall upon their necks and weep for very joy,

THE BULLETIN has made a grave
charge against the evening paper: charge
which is too serious to be passed over light.
ly and which it feels called Upon TO sus-
tain more specifically. AS before stated
"the lie" always carries with il deep dis
grace, either to the person who gives it, or
to him who takes-or is compelled to take
it. We lay it down as generally accepted
principle that if the giyer can
not substantiate the charge then
the disgrace rests with him
and he is unworthy the esteem of all gen
tlemen and ladies, and, upon this ground,
THE BULLETIN is willing to stand. If he
does substantiste the charge, or if the
charge remains unresented, even undenied,
then the accused must stand convicted,
either of an offense against society and
common honesty the blackness of which
cannot even be lightened by sincere apollo
gies, much less by fippant, eyasive squibs,
or, he must stand convicted of an ignorance
which, because Of its evil manifestations,
can only excite the heartiest contempt of
men and women, who respect and honor
truth, wherever found, for truths own sake.
And, upon this ground, the evening paper
is compelled to stand. But to the point
THE BULLETIN asserts unequvocally that
the evening paper lied, either ignorantly or
Intentionally, when it made, among mum.
Der Of Others which were untrue, Isubstan-
tally, the following statements: 1st. That
"the city and county authorizes uniformly
allowed unfortunate people to suffer in the
streets of the city without giving them aid';
Cd. That "no provisions are made by the
city or county to care for
such unfortunate, suffering people,;
3d. That "the county overseer of
the poor did not pretend to undertake to
do more than perhaps bury the unfortu-
nates;" 4th. That "the county board had
recently ordered the county overseer of the
poor to pursue more liberal policy toward
sick paupers;" 9Th. That "the city had
never done anything for paupers but furn-
ish a few coilins when they were dead; 9th.
That "the marine hospital is a relief to the
charitable people Of the city, because it
Greats annually large number Of charity
cases. 7th That "Dr. Wood said that
| every position taken by The BULLETIN in
this controversy was wrong" Sth, That
THE BULLETIN has manifested heartcss.
ness toward suffering poor 9th. That
The BULLETIN "has made efforts to pre-
vent the city and county authorities from
exhibiting a philanthropic spirit;" and
10th. That "thc evening paper has had any
influence whatever in shaping the actions
of the city or county authorities, or in
| arousing more charitable spirit among
the people of Cairo" The BULLETIN
charges that the above are substantially the
evening papers statements and that each
and every one Of them conveys an untruth,

TOO MUCH LAND.

Farmers evidently own too much
land in the South. Many of them
have thousands of acres lying idle
upon which they pay taxes, and de-
rive no profit from them. In the
course of time, this will be changed.
Lands here will be divided into so and
100 acre lots. The old system of farm
ng will be done away with and the
new, system means less land, more
manure and thorough culture.
Mr.. Suel Foster, very fine Agricul-
cultural writer, writes as follows from
Muscatine, Iowa. The same thing
may be well applied here:
The extent of the farm, the capital
invested in tools and stock, and the
amount of labor bestowed are often
very much out of proportion. The
average price Of good farms in this
vicinity, one of the oldest and best
counties in the State, is about $40 an
acre., The value of an S0-acre farm is
$500. The house, barn and fences
ought to he worth 81, 900, but usually
are not worth more than 81 200. The
value of teams, tools and stock animals
is about $500. The young farmer often
begins with 81 500 of capital. He
purchases so acres for say $1,000, pays
81 900 down, and has $500 reserved for
team and tools. If he is a good econo-
mist, has good wife to help him, is a
good manager with good health, he
soon works his way up to the condition
of the average well-to-do farmer, with
farm and stock worth 81 900.
But too often, instead of buying an
so acre farm with his 81 500, he buys
100 acres, and ploughs and fences what
he can. But he has so much to do on
the new farm that his crops are not
properly tended, his horses are worked
too hard, and himself and wife work
too hard, and his large farm suffers in
every way for the want of the right
proportion OF capital and labor to the
quantity of land. He is not able to
build a good barn his few animals
suffer in the stormy, cold winter
weather his tools are not housed T; he
has not time TO set out fruit trees and
wind-breaks to protect his bui ldings
and crops; and the sloughs and wet
places.on his farm cannot be drained.
When he bought his farm, he ex-
pected his sons would grow up, and he
could divide his farm among them.
But alas, while he has had the place
for pleasant and attractive home
stead, he has failed to make it so and
hfs sons and daughters do not like the |
farm. They go TO town or city to es-
cape the drudgery of the farm, and
for lighter work obtain higher wages
than the farmers pay. Meanwhile
age is advancing on the farmer. The
he made was in having too
much land, and too little other neces-
sar les for comfort and profit.

CuttIng Corn.


This work will soon require atten-
ton, and as my practice differs from
the usual mode, because find il pre-
ferable j will describe its result. II
is safe TO commence cutting and stock
ing corn when the earliest ears are
glazed" or slightly hardened, and
when the latest ears are in the milk.
bind large bundles above the ears so
that each will be all that man can
carry. That saves much binding.
This bundle will stand alone, and is
of good size TO pitch and load, after
the corn Is picked from il. Each stock
should contain not less than ten Of
these large bundles, standing the first
four opposite each other in square
slightly bracing, the next four should
break joints" with those standing
and the other two bundles will make
a round stock. All except the first
four bundles should stand ms perpen-
dicularly as possible. The stock
should be firmly bound near the top,
which will prevent it from leaning or
falling, aud IL one should happen to
fall it should be restored Immediately
to prevent damage. Corn stalks Sc
cured In this way are nearly as bright
as when housed and not weather
beaten as In small stookes where every
storm drives through them. Neither
the corn nor the stalks will dry as
rapidly as in small stocks, but the
corn will fill ont much better In large
stocks, especially If cut rather early
to avoid frost or for any other cause.
Corn can be safely stocked much ear
Tier i'm large than In small stocks. For
/ have made stocks twice
the size above described, which cured
well and bright. When late sweet
corn for the table Is exposed TO frost If |
put into very small stocks IL will con-
tinue good for boiling one or two |
weeks. I have found less labor i'm |
picking corn from the stocks in the /
field aud husking it in the barn than
70 husk IL from the stalks anywhere.
The corn should not lay on the ground |
exposed to the sun, but he stocked
nearly as fast as cut, DUtwithstand-
ing IL Is wet. Stocks must stand as
as possible, then there
IS no danger of sweating or moulding,
however large or green. If not in
bundles the stocks will be too bracing
Or too small. The labor of stocking
md harvesting is about the same in
arge as IN small stocks. In the lat
Ter more Is done at first, but as the
;uttiug can commence a week or more
EARLIER, this advantage more than
other considerations.

Demand for Cows.

That their is a scarcity of cows in
this country is plain. Prices have
been going higher for some time, and
the demand is sharp. There is no inn
mediate prospect that lower prices
will rule very soon. The increasing
consumption Of dairy products at
home and abroad, is one thing that
keeps prices high. Besides, there 10 a
stronger demand ia towns and cities
for good mich COWS than has been
known heretofore. A larger number
Of persons, whose means admit Of
keeping a COW for their ovp use, pre-
fer doing 90 than 10 pay for milk large

published west Of Ne says that butch
ers have nearly az much trouble to get
stock as the dealers, and have to pay
steadily stlffening prices. The ship
ments to Europe and the immensely
increased demand for meat in our own
country will shortly divert the atten-
ton Of farmers in the Mississippi VAL

h1'RANGE YEAR.

This will be a most memorable year
Strange celestial phenomena, comets,
conjunction of planets, meteors, the
assassination of the President,
drouths, destructive fires, remarkable
heat and cold tornadocs and storms,
dark days make up catalogue of
strange occurrances.
Just as the President is going out of
the world, another comet is visible at
the Rochester Observatory, making
three or four new ones which are now
visible by the aid of telescopes. AS

BILE, the noted star "Pilgrim" which
was observed during the years 9i5,
1864, and 1872. In 1872, it was describ-
ed as brighter than Jupiter, and such
was its brilliancy that persons were
able to detect it at noon in clear sky,
and at night, when the was so over
cast as to hide all other stars. II it
appears, it will be visible for several
weeks, in the consolation of Cassie

III. T.. BARRETT.
The best time to plant all kinds of
trees is during the fall. We prefer
fall altogether to spring, If we can get
proper weather. So far, 1t has been too
dry, but If IT rains sufficiently to wet
the grounds during September, DC
tober and November are all good
months to plant.
BY planting in the Fall, both plants
and trees are enable to become thor
oughly rooted before Spring.
