A Really Great Family News
paper.

II has been too much the habit Of
northwestern people to rely upon
Chicago and the eastern cities for
the general family weekly with
which every intelligent family wish
es to supplement the local or coun-
ty paper. Fortunately, no need
now exists for perpetuating this
mistake. Having made Of its Daily
and Sunday editions a journal
among the very best in the world,
the Pioneer Press Company is now
improving the Weekly Pioneer Press
to an extent which makes it the
pride Of the northwest. Compared
column by column with any SIMILAR
paper in any city in the east, it
equals the best and is excelled by
none. Besides it's unsurpassed liter
airy, agricultural, market, household
and other features, its regular week
" resume of Iowa, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Dakota, Montana and Mani
toba news is complete and indispen-
sible to every northwesterner. The
attention paid to railway, lumber,
land and mining developments COW
ers the whole field, and gives to all
who may be interested in these mat
ters information which IL invalua-
bic. During 1882 each yearly sub
scriber will be complimented with
four beautiful art supplements--one
each in January, April, July and
October -alcne worth the subscrip-
ton price Of the Weekly Pioneer Press,
which is but 8i.l5 per year. Sam
pie copy will be sent free to any one
who will send his address to the
pablishers,

An exchange says boy viii tramp 241
miles in one day on rabbit hunt, and be
timber in the evening; when if you ask him
to 90 across the street and borrow Jones
two-inch auger he win be as stiff as meat
block. OF course he viii. And he win
go swimming all day and stay in the water
three hours at time and splash and dive
and paddle and puff, and next morning he
win feel that an unmeasured insult has been
offered him when he is told by his mother
to wash his face carefully so as not to leave
the score of the ebb and flow so plain to be
seen under the gills. And he'll wander
around dry creek bed all the afternoon
piling up pebble fort and nearly die of
when his big sister wants him to please
pick up basket of chips for the parlor
stove. And he win spend the biggest part
Of the day trying to corner stray mule or
a bald-backed horse for a ride, and feel that
all life's charms have Aed when it comes
time to drive the cows home. And he'll
turn ten-acre lot up side down for ten
inches for angle-worins, and wish for the
voiceless tomb when the garden demands
his attention. But all the same, when you
want friend who win stand BY you and
sympathize with you and be true to you in
all kinds Of weather, enlist one of those

The public roads of county show the
spirit and enterprise Of the people in the
county to a certain extent, and all viii ad-
NIT that good public roads add to the value
of the land as much, if not more, than any
thing Of equal cost. A bad road means
small load with great wear and tear to a
wagon and team, and bad roads is the CON-
plant generally. An exchange, in asking
'.why Is this p answers its own interroga-
tory very sensibly by remarking: First,
they are badly drained and not enough
work done on them second, there is but
little thought given to making roads, and
the work is often done late in the fall
third, men plow and scrape more than there
is need of, and make narrow poor road
when they get through. 1t is cheaper to
make good wide road when the land will
permit, than narrow one, from the fact
that in making wide one you simply bring
the dirt from the bitches upon the road
bed, which should never be plowed up OF
disturbed. A public road should be 30
feet from outside to outside of bitches,
highest in the centre, and curving gradual
" to the outside of bitches. The road bed
THAT is, the part between the inside of the
ditches) should be 30 feet wide. The
bitches should be 5 feet wide and one foot
deep on the outside, and deeper, if neces-
sary, with sufficient grade to draw off the
water, otherwise there will be bad, mud
DIV road. Now with such road the bed is
solid, and the soil scraped On top viii soon
pack and become hard There is no danger
of being tipped over, and travel is not
obliged to follow in single rut, as it must
in narrow road. Dry roads mean good
bitches. To fill up mud holes without
draining, is simply putting in more dirt to
make more mud.

have wearied, perhaps, of rocking forever
on the tide BY sunset, by moonrise, of an
ehoring in some silent cove where the wild
flowers looked at the image in the water.
where the stars lay like jewels, while Mr..
Laurence lighted his meerschaum, and con-
tided his loftiest aspirations, his doubts his
beliefs-it is so sweet to be conhded IN, so
fattering! To have heard him, one would
naturally suppose that Mrs. Richmond was
commissioned to write his biography
1t must be confessed that there wene
times when his egotism rather bored her ;

no one else sympathized with his moods,

whsas--rniek and rhin seeding.

The Gettysburg, Pa, Compiler, Of
March -, says;-Thin seeding Of wheat
on land Of average, or less, fertility is a mis-
take-and in dry season, as last fab was,
an almost fatal one. Much Of the grain
then sown in this county never came up,
and because Of the unusual amount Of thin
seeding done, the crop must be light on
farms where, With more put in, and pro-
porfiomaay more up, satisfactory crops
would have resulted. BY trying to save a
peek at the start, bushels win be lost Al the
outcome
In conversing on this subject, the other
day, with one Of our most intelligent farm
ers, he gave us this among other expert
ences A few years ago he commenced
seeding with the drin, but after getting a
couple of acres in, was stopped by rain
The sdash" proved heavy, and when the
ground had dried sufficiently to recon-
menee. be found his first seeding baked.
He sowed il over with the same quantity
Of seed per acre that the rest of the field
received, making about three and half
bushels 10 the acre. All seemed to have
come up, and ths yield he assured Us, was
double in straw and nearly double in
threshed grain as compared with that por-
ton which got only half this quantity of seed.
In England the common practice is TO
sow three bushels of wheat 10 the acre, and
the crop yields are from % to 40 bushels,
the average being near g. This Is about
twice the seed used in this country, and The
product Is equally tacice as great. The ad-
vantage Is too apparent to need discussion.
The thin stand Of wheat observable in 50
many quarters of Adams county to-day, and
the extra damaging effect the freezing and
thawing have had, and still have, for that
fault, upon it, ought to serve as a warning
against repeating the blunder of thin seed
ing during the next decade at least. We
cannot reap literally unless We sow--hOw
why, literally too.
