Farm Work for February

There are years in which February
furnishes such weather that much
field work can be done, but such is
not likely to be the case this year,
Judging from present appearances,
(15th January,) when the earth is
frozen and covered with snow, but
there may be a sudden change, and
this month prove to be favorable for
farm work. Our climate is so varia-
bic that it is well to be prepared at all
times to embrace. opportunities offered
by its changes. Therefore, if the
season be propitious, and the ground
dry enough, advantages should be
taken of such favorable conditions.
But under any circumstances the
farmer should not be idle this month,
as much work may be done, such as
securing plentiful suppy of fre-wood,
cut and corded for the next season,
fence rails and posts gotten out and
compost heaps made. The barn-yard
manure should be turned and properly
manipulated, so that continual fer
mentation may go on without danger
of ofbecoming overheated and fire. fanged.
This attention to the manure heaps Of
the yards and stables is too often
neglected, and much loss is annually
sustained by our farmers through this
neglect.

Our friends in Arkansas have entered
upon new field Of usefulness. For the
last generation the civilized world has
been IN agony as 10 the true way of pro-
nouncing Arkansas. Some purisis, es-
pecially carrctbaggers, have preferred
the emphatic Saxon method, Ar KANSAS,
with emphasis on the second syllable
and a hiss at the end. Others, mainly
Boston people, preferred Ar-kan.saw,
with little touch OF French
in the last syllable. Since the
famous war, which Swift de-
scribes, between the Big Endians and
the Little ERdians, the quarrel being rs
to whether it was proper to break an egg
at the little or big end, there has been no
such antagonism as we have seen be-
tween the patrons of Arkansas and
Ar-kan-saw. Duels have been fought
the domestic peace of families has been
broken and elections lost and won upon
the pronunciation of three syllables.
Henceforward let there be peacei The
Legislature of the state declares solemn
ly that the name of the state shall for all

The country will rejoice at this happy
solution. But how about Kansas Is

to having ii called Kan-sawl And Tex

The amendment of Mr.. Thacher, to
the new temperance bill, passed the
Kansas senate on Saturday, and will
now go to the house. 1t amends section
ten of the original measure, and reads as
follows:
All alcoholic, spirituous, vinous, malt
and fermented liquors, and all bitterS,
cordials and medical compounds, by
whatever name called, TO be used as a
beverage, shall be held TO be intOxicat-
ing liquors within the meaning of this
act; nor shall it be construed so as TO
prevent any physician from administer
ing To patient any medicine in his
opinion needful for such patient with
out making prescription therefor, nor
to interfere with the sale by druggists
to physicians of any medicines rccog-
nized by the different standard
pharmacopias or dispensatories, nor
shall the provisions of this act pre-
vent the making of wine or cider
from grapes or apples grown or raised
by the person making the same, prOvid-
ed that no such wine or cider after such
cider shall have fermented, shall be sold
or bartered except to persons who are
duly authorized to sell intoxicating liq-
uor under the provision Of this act.
In the bill as introduced was the fol
lowing clause: "And the provisions of
this act shall not be construed to pre-
vent the use of wine for sacramento pur.
poses by any religious denomination"
But this was striker out, in pursuance
of the argument of Senator Kelly, who
suggested that under such a provision
clubs could be organized as churches
the members of which could get all the
wine they wanted.
The discussion of the amendment has
opened anew the bitter spirit of contro
versy on this subject, and has stirred UP
considerable bad blood, without the
prospect OF any benencent results. There
is but little reason to suppose that any
modification of the present law would
pass the gauntlet of the radical temper
ance sentiment of the house, and even Il
it should 1t is by no means likely thai
Governor st. John would sign it, and
there is not a twO-thirds majority C
pass il over his veto. The feeling
among temperance advocates is that
the law in its present shape is none
too stringent tn insure the practical
enforcement of prohibition, and as thai
is what the amendment contemplates, /
is reasonable to infer that there will b,
no tinkering with the measure supple
menting its provisions by the presen
legislature.

The present legislature has been so
expensive that the state finds itself $73,-
600 short, and will probably levy an ex-
ira tax of One-fourth of one mill to
make up.
1t is earnestly hoped that the pleasant
