The new FIVE Cent coin is of the
same weight as the old one, but lit
tie larger and thinner. The design
and workmanship are improvements
on the old coin. The diverse or face
is embelished with head of Liberty,
surrounded with IS stars. The word
Liberty" is inscribed on the tiara,
and the date below the head is 1888.
On the reverse is large V, the Ro-
man mineral, indicating the denom-
ination of the coin. The V is In the
centre, and encompassed by a wreath
of cotton, wheat and tobacco. The
words "United States of America-E
Pluribus Unum" encircle the wreath.
The edge OF the coin is smooth, and
not milled- which gives it an unfin.
ished appearance. Altogether, how
ever, the new nickel is an improve
ment over the lumpy coin which il
displaces.

Farm MaximS.

Do not cultivate poor land. 1t is

If your land is poor you must limit
the area of cultivation to your abili-
ty to manure-let it be ever so little
and you will be the gamer by it
Exert yourself to produce manure
on the farm. Such manure is the
-four which makes the loaf.
Bring to the aid of your manure
pile green fallow crops, and try to
clothe the bosom of mother earth with
the green verdure OF grass, from
which live stock can be fed.
Keep as much stock as can be fed
well, for this adds to the manure pile
and their increase, and few fat car
cases afford big interest on the in
vestment.
Diversity crops as much as possible,
and do not rely on one staple. This
will make your manure and labor pay
profit in some places when they
may fail in Others,
Manure! manure manure and as

she led them a pretty race. Very
few who call themselves lobbiests
amount to much in that line. 1t is
the women who are seldom seen in

ence enough over votes to make their
purchase an object. Men interested
in lubricating or clogging legislation
are seldom foolish enough to invest
money in brazen professionals. If
they are really in need ofjust few
more votes, they sometimes ascertain
who are the mistresses of certain
statesmen of influence and buy them
up, trick that is by no means diff
cult of performance. These women
generally live quiet and retired lives,
letting their identity and CONNER
cial voting value be known only to
limited few. There are men and
women who are mean enough to
trade on their knowledge of the liasons
of congressman and there are con-
gressmen weak enough to be govern

disposition of their votes.
