Editorial troubles are many, and
none but an editor knows how hard
it is to keep ones temper, and be al
ways smiling.
An editor in Chicago last week
ordered a pair Of new trousers from
the tailor. On trying them on,
they proved to be several inches too
long. 1t being late on Saturday
night the tailor's shop was closed,
and the editor took the trousers to
his wife and asked her to cut them
off and hem them over. The good
lady, whose cucumber or melon had
perhaps disagreed with her, very
brusquely refused. The same re-
suit followed an application to the
wife's sister and the eldest daugh-
ter. But before bedtime the wife,
relenting, took the pants, and cut
ting of six inches from the legs,
hemmed them nicely and restored
them to the closet. Half an hour
later the daughter, taken with com
junction for her unfilial conduct,
took the trousers, and cutting off
six inches hemmed and replaced
them. Finally the sister-in law
felt the pangs of conscience; she,
too, performed a surgical operation
on the garment. When the editor
appeared at breakfast on Sunday,
the family thought a Highland
chieftain had arrived. for the trou-
ssrs reached only to the middle of

Something About Whisky.

"What is whisky bringing? asked
a dealer in that article, one day. He
meant to ask, how much is it selling
for?
A gentleman who heard the re-
mark took it in an entirely different
sense from that.
what is whisky bringing? do
you ask. I'll tell you: 1t is bring
ing men to prison and to the gal
lows, and it is bringing women
and children to poverty and want"
There never was truer answer
than this.
1t is estimated that it sends to
prison every year one hundred
thousand men and women.
Twenty thousand children are
sent to the workhouse annually by
drink.
Three hundred murders are
caused by intemperance every year.
Two hundred Thousand children
are made orphans every year, by
this dreadful evil; and sixty-five
thousand are killed by intemper-
ance every year in this country.
Does it seem possible that a man
will deal out to his brother such
poisonous stuff, when he knows that
It will prove his ruin.

Mr.. Edward Richardson, of
Mississippi, who is reported to be
the largest cotton raiser in the world,
not only gins, spins and weaves it,
but is large dealer, and has oil
mills as well. He owns some $4,000
acres of land, and last year raised
over 1900 bales of cotton-a
greater number than the Khedive of
Egypt, who is the next largest cotton
raiser in the world. The $4,000
pounds of seed cotton which he an
nually gets from his land are ginned
by his own gins. The seed, which
is ordinarily worth not more than
So ton, is ground and pressed for
the oil. The bulls are used for fuel
in this process, and the ashes sold
and used for fertilizers. From ton
of seed he obtains thirty five gallons
of oil, worth thirty-fve cents a
gallon-$1225. The cake remain
ing after the oil is pressed out is
worth more for feed or as a fcrtil-
izer than the seed itself, selling
readily for home use or shipment to
England at Sc to 81 a ton. Each
ton of cotton seed, therefore, nets

+. w. Morrow said at the Elmira
Farmers Club: l know a farmer
who ploughs al his clay land in fall
that he wants to SOW with oats or
barley in the following spring. His
principal crop is oats, and he gets
larger yields than his neighbors who
have land of similar character that
they plow in spring. He gets the

dragged thoroughly as soon as dry
