Seed Failures.
made.

1t is not alone in the failure of seed
corn that farmers crops are short this
year. The failure is evidently general.
The greatest failure in proportion to the
intended crop is in cane seed. 1t is 60
ing to be the cause of great back-set
in the expected advance in sugar and
sirup making this fall. There is also
universal complaint of the thinness Of
wheat, which is evidently mainly to be
attributed to the failure of the seed to
germinate. There has been also a gen.
eral complaint of the failure of garden
and flower seeds. And none of this can
be lad to the charge CT cold, wet or
unfavorable May, the month of the
termination of nearly all farm or gar
den seeds. 1t was particularly favora-
bic in condition of soil, and suitable
sunshine and showers. Most of the de-
fects in seeds must be attributed to the
early freeze last fall, before seeds were
perfected and dried out Freezing seeds
when in an imperfect or damp condi-
ton is fatal to their vitality. The loss
to Iowa this year is enormous. And yet
it could all have been avoided by pru-
dent care.
In the first place seed-corn should be
gathered from the field so soon as the
earliest and best ears are fully out of
milk. This can be done late in August
or early in September. Then dry it out
thoroughly in the sun. Do not mo-
ment imagine that it is best to hang it
up or lay it away in the shade. There is
nothing equal in giving vitality or pre-
pairing it to stand the terrible freezing
of our winters like sunshine. And more
sunshine would ripen in proper way
our children, young men and young
women. And sunshine will even give
vigor and elasticity to old age. When
the corn and cob is thoroughly dry put
it away where it will keep dry, and
there will be no discount on its vitality
next spring. And the same process
will perfect and preserve all kinds of
seeds and grain. And no farmer should
risk his crops or his property upon
doubtful seeds.
But farmer should not rely too GER
tainly on the care he has taken of the
seed grain. 1t may have been exposed
to currents of air in the changes of tenn
perature, when it would get damp and
by sudden depression the atmosphere
freezes it before it dries Off So every
farmer should make fair test long be-
fore seed time, SO if anything has been
fatal or even injurious, he would have
time to procure other seed. The lesson
of this year is q serious one, involving
the loss of many millions, and it should
suffice for decade at least. And the
time is just at hand when corn, cane and
other seed will demand attention.

were coming to the city to sell some
clover honey, and your aged father
placed his hand on your head and
warned you sto beware of the frothy
lager
He did-he did! Oh, sir, suppose
l am the biggest fool in America!''
ssPerhaps you are. After you had
sold your honey for cash you said to
yourself that schooner of beer would
brace you up for the trip homeward. In
an hour you were drunk and had lost all
your money"

The Press and the New and Great South
west.

The States of the South, acting after the
manner of the great railroads, have opened
q bureau for information as to their re-
sources and attractions, in New York, and
London and other European cities. The
bureau will have samples of the agricultural
and manufacturing interests OF the South
and West for free exhibition, and for the in
formation of intending emigrants.
The press of the South and West owe it to
themselves to note the growth Of their re-
spectiye centers, and the special excellence
of its manufactured produces. This is duty
which the press fulfils all over the world,
and one OF its highest missions and services to
the people. The supremacy Of the West in
agricultural machinery is now conceded all
over the world, and the CHARTER OAK
STOVE WORKS has pushed st. Louis to the
front in this industry; but this superiority is
attended with ther good results, the best
skill win in the future locate itself there,
and act Indirectly on the neighboring states
in supplying them with skilled labor and
building up other industries This was the
plan the Western States adopted in building
up their respective agricultural and manu-
featuring interests. (6-3o)

The vast wealth of the Rocky Noun
tains region has come to be an aeknowl-
edged fact, SO far as gold and silver are
concerned, but the bulletin of the Amer

of recent iron discoveries in the south of
Utah which will prove source of i'm

covered metal comprises, so far as
known, thirty-eight mountains, consist

find, large beds of coal were discovered
in the sarle vicinity.

The late S. Tail said there was no
truth in bald-headed men. Bill Nye
takes different view of the matter. He
says: Although beautiful as a peri in
other ways, our tresses on top have
succunbed to the inclemency of the
weather, and our massive brow is slow
ly creeping over toward the back of our
neck. Nature makes all things even. If
q man be possessed of such ravishing
beauty and such winning ways that his
power might become dangerous, she
makes him bald-headed.

The Connecticut Valley was form
erly the great broom-corn region of the
country. Now the corn is chiefly raised
on the fertile prairies of the West, and
Chicago is the principal market. Once
Northampton, Hadley, Hatfield, and
many town in that vicinity did a
thriving business in the production of
brooms, and largely supplied the coun-
try with these articles. Before the days
of railroading it was not an unusual oc-
currence to send fifty or sixty-ton load
down the Connecticut on fiat-boat to
be reshipped at Hartford by steamer. A
veteran in the business says that he has
sold as many as $4,000 brooms within a
month. Massachusetts no longer mo-
nopolizes this business; it is distributed
all over the country, with perhaps the
largest interests centered in New York

"A device has been perfected by H.
NJ. Albee, of West Oakland, Cal, by
which any one who knows the alphabet
and how to spell can correctly transmit
telegraphic dispatches. The Invention
is substitute for the key, which re-
quires training in order to be used. 1t
consists of piece of metal, in which
are inserted conductors of brass and
non-conductors of whalebone to corre-
spond with the characters of the Morse
alphabet. Each letter or numeral is
divided off and marked. By moving
metallic pencil over any one of these di-
visions the particular letter or figure is
reproduced at the other end of the line
by means of the insulations and connec-
tions. One stroke suffices for a charac-
ter, while greater precision is obtained
than by the key, as on account of the
mathematical accuracy of Mr.. Albee's
device letters or numbers can not be run
together, as now too frequently occurs.

TprRg have been few Presidential mes.

r,,e anticipated with as much interest as
,bo initial message Of President Arthur,

,bs late President Garfield is briei, but
will impress the country as being fifty

mourpiul event which so recently wrapped
tbe land in gloom, that was desirable in
ri, document The cordial friendly re-
htiops between our Government and other
tovers, which the President announces,
are matters for sincere qualification, and

wmpathy in our atIliction have done much
"a cement these relations, The only direc-
top in which cloud mars the bright sky
Of universal peace is in South America, and

ward the restoration Of peace there will

eountry. The reference in the message TO
the affairs of the other powers in this hem.
sphere will be perused with much interest.
The recommendations OF the different
heads Of departments which are seconded
BY the President will no doubt receive that
"a ly and weighty consideration which
their Importance demands. The entire
message is one which furnishes much
reason for qualification and pride on the
part Of all citizens who have the countrys
peace and advancement in the march Of
civilization, and the material and moral
welfare Of the people at heart, and much
also that calls for grave thought, not on the
part Of Congress alone, but the country ut
large as we'll.

never made any such proposition. Iasked
him to invest some money in the enter
prise, bur he said he had already put $4,000
into the Iltsr- Ocean and would not put in
any more.
Witness again saw the prisoner in this
city in March last, The prisoner had u
recommendation for the Paris Consulship
and wanted witness to sign it.
The witness never thought the prisoner
q sane man.
Upon cross examination the witness was
asked II, in the conversation mentioned, he
had any opportunity to form IN opinion us
to whether the prisoner was able to distin-
guish between right and wrong,
Scoyille objected to the question, and
argued at great length in support OF his OBJ
lection.
Guiteau continually broke in and insisted
that the question had no bearing on the
case; that his mind all through was blank
on the question OF right and wrong; that he
was impelled by inspiration, which he
could not resist.
Judge Cox ruled that the question could
be entertained, and it was again put,
The witness thought there were grades
Of insanity, and did not think the prisoner
so insane but that he could distinguish
between right and wrong.
Scoville desired to note exceptions, Quit
eau again broke in excitedly; II wantthis
understood right here; it will put stop to
all this irrelevant nonsense-I acted from
inspiration.
Judge Cox.-Well, that will do, prisoner
You have said that great many times, and
you must not interrupt the Court again.
GorhHm took the stand and discus.
sion then ensued between the counsel
upon the form Of the questions in which
Guiteau insisted upon taking part.
Turning to Scoyille he said: "You are
getting little cranket, yourself, on this
subject won't have your line OF defense.
It's altogether too narrow" Gorham Was
told to step down, when Guiteau shouted
out, Come back Gorham, want to ask
you few questions want you to
state whether you didn't write and publish
in last April, May and June, great many
very bitter articles denOuncing President
for wrecking the Republican
party?"
Gorham acknowledged that he did.
