WE believe there have been no
new entries this week for the Sen

son is announced as being "off, -
and his influence will be thrown
for Kenna. 1t is also reported
that Judge Jackson will decline to
"go in" having no desire to ex-
change his present life position
for q six years term in the Senate
This, if true, will somewhat disar-
range Gen COTS little game to
run Judge Jackson as an indepen-
dent Democrat and have the Re
publican vote cast for him if the
election gets into the House and
the Judge could secure the ten
Democrats necessary to elect with
the Republican vote. Gen. COTS
anxiety in the matter is supposed
to have originated in desire to
occupy Judge Jackson's place on
the Bench. 1t is possible that the
Judge, after mature reflection, has
failed to take in" the benefits, to
himself, to be derived from such a
change, and is, therefore, not a
candidate. The declination Of
Judge Furguson, Hon. Lewis Ba-
kor and Judge Jackson, however,
will not materially lessen thenum-

FARM MANAGEMENT.-NO fixed
rules can be laid down for the man
agement of farms. The soil of one
township may be best fitted for
growing some kind Of grain, while
the adjoing ones can be most profit
ably devoted to live stock. No two
farms situated side 10y side are ex-
actly alike. The distance from mar
ket,the demand for special products,
and, not the least, the individual
taste of the farmer, have all much
weight in determining the system Of
farm management that il is best to
adopt. Those who have given the
most thought to this subject, are the
slowest to advise any general system
to be applied to any farm. It's like
q garment that is intended to fit all
persons, and suits none. Every year
Of progress made ia agricultural
knowledge teaches more forcibly
than previous ones, that the farmer
must rely upon his own intelligence
and Judgment in working out the
best system for his own farm. Even
i'm SO seemingly a triling a matter as
the pruning of q grapeyine,the wisest
vineyardist can only give general
rules, and each grape grower must
adapt them to the peculiarities Of
each yiue.--Americaa AWicWigrai8t
