1t is related of the late Governor
Bagley Of Michigan. who has a strict
Sabbatarian, that being in Detroit one
Summer Sunday, he was walking with
q companion through a little-frcquented
street on the way from church when he
heard sounds that were suspiciously
like the clicking of ivory balls. He put
his head inside the door, asked to see
the proprietor. and when the person
presented himself, inquired politely /:
"DO you make it a practice. sir to keep
your hall open on Sunday P" The man
glanced quickly around to see that no
body was within easy hearing. then
bent over, and put his mouth close to
MI. Bagley's ear as he answered with
q significant wink '.Well, no, Cover
nor. not as a general thing, you know;
but If you and your friend there would
like to play q quiet game. l guess ! can
fix it for you"

4. farmer in northern Iowa, who
has had considerable experience with
this crop. gives his method of harvest.
ing it. as follows: when the MAORI
ty of the hollis turn down and will
rub ont i'm the hand. the flax is ready
to cut. 1t may be cut with any
machine-a harvester, reaper, OF
mower if necessary. If cut with a
harvester, M man should stand on
the platform and throw off In large
bundles. 1t will not pay to bind. !
have found it best by far to cut with
self-rake reaper, cutting as high AS
possible, holding the rake till large
bundles are collected, and dropping it
all in windows, 80 that it Il be
gathered easily when dry enough to
stack. If left till very ripe anu the
straw is tough, cut with a Smooth
knife that can be kept sharp. Flax.
when ripe, will stand longer than
any crop, but it will pay to take care
of it. The straw, if cut and stacked
before it rots, will make good feed
for cattle. Don't cut with Il mower
if you "a help it, rs much seed will
he tramped out. After stacking.
cover the tops of all your stacks with
coarse, wild hay, to protect against
rain. 1t is but little work and well
worth while, if the easOn should he
wet. Thrash and dispose of it rs
soon as you can. as it is hard to store
and heats easily. 1t is also well to
manure your land after IL crop of
flax, us it is Il little eXhausting
than wheat. Oats do well on flax
land. ! have had "a good deal of eX
%perience with this crop, and would
recommend the above Us the most
satisfactory way of harvesting flax
According to the last report of the
commissioner of agriculture it ap'
pears that 900, 900 persons in the
United States are engaged in agricnl'
tural pursuits. The total value OF
farms and farm implements is Sl3,.
46l .200,433, or twO.thirds Of the pro
ductive wealth Of the nation. The
value Of farm products and live stock
for 1873 was $1,000, 900 900, against
81, 500, 000, 900 Of mining and manufac'
turing products. Thus it appears that
not only a majority of the adult male
population Of the United States is
engaged in agriculture, but more than
one. half the wealth of tho Union is
invested in that industry. There are
also 100000 persons engaged in
mining and manufacturing, whose in.
tcrests are closely allied with those of
the agriculturist.

IL seems strange that such a
mighty corporation as the Santa
Fe would not offer a larger re.
ward than 81 600 for the CAPTURE
Of the person or persons who at
tempted TO wreck one Of their
through passenger trains. When
such n small reward is offered, for
the parties who attempt to destroy
their property, people imagine
the Go. does not care much about
having the robbers run down
or they would make it an object
for an individual TO risk his life in
attempting to capture them. The
railroad and express companies,
in conjunction with the Gov. of
Missouri, have, at this late day,
offered a reward Of $50, 900 Tor the
Winston train robbers. If this
step had been taken just as soon
as the ROBBERY occurred, the des-
poradocs would undoubtedly
have been captured, and a quietus
placed upon further lawlessness
of that kind; but as IL is now there
is no hope of the robbers and
