As seeding time will soon be here,
our farming friends are admonished to
look around for desirable seed wheat.
Get the ground in good order, choose
sound, plump seed and plenty of it,
drill in the wheat with some good::fer-
tilizer, and trust to providence for the
early and the later rain and a good
harvest.

certainly good, but the cheapest way to
apply liquid manure is in its dry form,
which can be easily done by the free

1t is fact that In Georgia an acre
of land, which, in 1880 produced only
800 pounds of seed cotton, was ma>

it twenty nights, and in 1881 it pro-
duced 1900 pounds of seed cotton.
This virtually trippled the animal value

Ohio Democracy on Civil Service Re.
form.

According to the following extracts from the
Cincinnati Enq,rers account of the preliminary
Incidents Of the Ohio democratic convention in
that state the hart,-fisted leaders Of that party
haven't much reverence for civil service reform
ideas:
ADUDE ON DECK.
One Of the earliest On deck to-day was
Thoman. Of the Dude Commission. Pushing
his way through the crowd toward the Ice de-
partment behind the hotel office he cut a
swath OF admiration, right and left. and heard
little ripples OF applause running into his wake.
An honest granger delegate tapped a friend on
the shoulder and asked, land who Is that"
''WhatI don't you know? That Is Judge
Thoman, one Of the civil service commission
ers"
And the Granger simply lifted up his voice
and calculated, "GoOd God"
CIVIL. SERVICE 'REfoRM."
During a lull In the more devotional part OF
the exercises an Enquirer man gathered the fol-
lowing opinions on the Pendleton bill and civil
service reform:
Victor Gutzweiler-I don't indorse it W orth a
d-n, myself.
G. w. Henderson. Cleveland Plain Dea,er-I
am opposed to the Pendleton bill because 1t is q
fraud.
Eek. Heisley-I am a Roman. To the vlctora
belong the spOils
Major Hunt-wen, let's give it trial before
we condemn it.
A. H. Whitaker, Cleveland-I believe that. in
order to carry out its principles, the democratic
party when In power should possess the execu-
tive Offices
G. l.. Selzer-I don't believe in keeping LOT
OF trained thieves In ONCE after the democrats
get into power.
VIM. Heisley-I am in favor Of the democrat,
taxing the Offices when they have the chance
and ability TO do It,
