The Economy of Selling,

Selling saves feed and labor. One acre
of oats will feed twenty-five COWS for a
week. An acre of good clover and or
chard Grass has fed the same number for
four days. An acre Of half grown corn,
planted in rows three feet apart will feed
them for ten days, and when full grown
will last for twenty days. twenty-five
COWS will use up one acre of good pasture
in one day. In soiIing, all the ground
can be made to produce two crops; and
some Of it three, and although the pasture
will keep on growing, yet it will not grow
so fast as crops on ploughcd ground, and
the surface soon becomes soiled and spoiled
by the droppings. On the other hand,
when cows are soied, all the manure is
saved, and can be gathered and put out
on the field as it may be wanted. There is
economy in feeding and in saving manure;
and in practice the two savings are equiv
acnt to doubling the stock which any
number Of acres can carry. 1t is prac
ticc adapted especially for dairy farming
on high priced lands, and where there is
a market for all kinds Of produce. There
are no panaceas or specifics which will
suit every case, and those persons who
make hobbies Of things which are useful
or practicable everywhere, will be apt to
disappoint themselves and those who lis
ten to them. The wise course is to find
out what suits each particular case and
then perseycrc with it until it is successful

thing of the grain and seed kind, and not
use the building for a granary until the
wcevils are starved out.
Troublesome and destructive as are the
insects named above, there is still another
likely to prove even more disastrous to
grain of nearly all kinds, and this is the
European grain moth, or, as it is called IN
France, Angoumois grain moth, from the
province in which it was first discovered
about $50 years ago. This insect is a
small moth about the size of the common
clothes moth. The larvae burrow into and
eat out the centre of the infested grain.
1t appears to prefer Indian corn, and is
now pretty well distributed over the coun-
try, but is more abundant in the Middle
and Southern States than in the Northern.
This pest is one likely to destroy annual
ly millions Of dollars worth Of corn and
other grain, unless measures are adopted
to check its increase. 1t attacks corn in
the ear, or when shelled and put in store
houses and as the moth readily flies from
place to place, its dissemination is rapid
and certain.
How best to destroy these pests is a
question not readily answered, for while
it may be an easy matter for one farmer to
rid his own place of them, the carlessness
or Indifference Of a neighbor may render
all his labor useless. 1t must be made
compulsory upon every farmer and dealer
to destroy the weevils and moths before
any real progress can be made. Without
laws touching such matters, farmers will
hurry their weevil-intested grain to the
mill or market, and in this way distribute
them, and contaminate the sound grain OF
others. That this is done every year we
know from the fact that weeVil and moth
infested grain is found not only in the seed
stores, but in the grain markets Of our
largest cities There are laws for the sup
preston Of crime, and others looking to,
ward preventing the dissemination Of con,
tagious diseases, and it is time that laws
should be passed to prevent the further sale
or distribution Of infected grain. The
State Of Ohio has recently passed a string
ent law regulating the sale Of adulterated
butter and cheese, but her farmers arc
permitted to sell poisonous wcevil-lnfcstco
wheat, without even hint from the Leg
islature that there is anything wrong il
such transactions. There is far more dan
ger Of persons being poisoned by using
Ohio flour, Judging from the reports Of the
abundance of weeVils in the wheat, thar
there is from eating olcomargarinc butte
or cheese. Just as soon as the sale of III
scct-infestcd seeds and grain is forbidden
by law, the grower and dealer will discove
the means of destroying their pests

HARVEST TIME.

Laborer, rest, thy days WoFE 5 done;
lis time to rest at eve;
Hang up thy rake-thy busy rake
Bind not another Sheaf.
From morn till night thou toil'st on,
And say'st, "NO rest for mel"
From morn till night the golden grain,
Bow down their heads TO thee.
And all day long the blazing sun
Has dartcd down his rays
Upon thy head; yet toil'st thou on,
And sing'st thy merry lays:
1.-THE glorious harvest time is here!
I'll gather in my grain,
And take my rest in Wintry days,
Till harvest comes again.
IN gather in the golden shcaveS
While harvest time is here,
And when the harvest times is gone,
I'll sadly drop tear"
These words thou singest all day long;
As happy, blithe and gay,
As ifthou' DIST gladly labor on,
Ifharvcst time would stay.

There seems to be no end to the discoveries
OF rascality in connection with the star route
contracts in the far West. The latest devel-
opments relate to route FOG miles in length
in Nevada. 1t was first let to a stage driver
for $4,000, who failed with despatch rs soon
as the contract had been awarded to him.
His employers then got the route for $40. 700.
In a very brief period they got it expedited"
to $50, 200, 1t was expedited" upon the
sworn certificate of the contractors that Civ
en- number of men and horses were then en-
ployed and that greater number would be
necessary under the increased service both
numbers being in excess of the actual num-
Der employed or intended to be EN-.
ployod. And the contractors did even better
than this. They changed the route so as to
make junction with another route under
contract to them, by which they saved carry.
ing over one-fourth of their route, and fur.
thermore, on one-fifth of the route they car.
ried no mail whatever On the rest Of the
route there was only one station of impor.
lance At two post offices there was only a
single inhabtant each--the hostlers of the
contractors. The inspector of the department
who passed over the route reported that fol
nearly 200 miles "tho only living creatures
that he saw except at the few ranches, sta
tons and mining camps, were seven sage
hens, one coyote, two jack-rabbits, few
larks and n few chipmunks" The applica
tion of these contractors for expedition" was
Endorsed by Senators Jones and Sharon and
the Representatives for Nevada. There should
be some law to make such transactions as this

the pulpit had unjustly prejudged the case
1t was to public opinion that he desired to
address himself, without endeavoring to ex-
tenuate the crime or TO create public feeling
in favor of the prisoner. He had good reason
to believe that the prisoner would not live till
the conclusion of his trial. He was constant
ly in receipt of threatening letters, and thought
somebody would contrive to put knife or
bullet into Guiteau when he was being taken
from the courtroom to the prison van. Mr..
Scoville then branched of TO tell why he be-

undertaken the lecture in order to raise need
