hausting, time wasting process OF
"fodder pulling" when you can OBJ

by simply moving the crab grass

that makes hay equal to timothy?
|, After the last two years experience
in saving hay from native grasses
many of our farmers are ready to give
the corn fair chance by abandoning
fodder pulling, and we should like to
see them all give it up. BY resign
ing it they give themselves and their
laborers a needed rest, and greatly
improve the yield of their corn fields.

no bloodshed, but scores of mother:

Our readers will remember that
under the new law they are at liberty
to sell one hundred pounds of leaf
tobacco of their own raising, at the
farm, to consumers, without payment
OF revenue tax. We hope that the
Forty-eighth Congress will still fur
ther amend the law so as to allow a
producer to dispose of his entire crop
in any way that may suit him. Alb
erdeen Examiner.
Our usually alert contemporary is
slightly behind the times. 1t is true
that Congress enacted such law as
is described in the paragraph quoted,
hut Mr.. Walter Evans, the wonder
full Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
that Mr.. Arthur found in Kentucky,
las nullitied the purpose of the law.
lie has decided that farmers may sell
their tobacco to the amount provided
for by Congress, but it must be
utterly without preparation. They
may sell it as they would an armful
Of hay, that is as mass of loose
leaves Vicksburg Herald.
The farmers probably understand
what ''leaf tobacco" is, as we'll as
Commissioner Evans or our well
meaning friend of the Herald, and so
when we used the term they did not
interpret it as plug, snuff, Or "stingy
green" as the boys call home made
twist.
"Leaf tobacco" is usually disposed
of in "hands," just as it was cured,
and every producer who read the
paragraph took in our meaning which
was perfectly in accord with the
ruling of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau. and described the Indian weed
in the only shape and form in which
it ever goes to market from the farm
or shed, or barn.
The Examiner is not at all 'behind
the times" in the matter, though it
believes that under the law passed
list session, which reads
"Farmers and producers of tobacco,
may sell at the place of production
tobacco of their own growth and
raising at retail directly to consumers,
to an amount not exceeding one hun
bred dollars annually" they have the
right to sell it in any shape they
please, whether as leaf, twist, snuff,
plug or cigars, and that any court or
United States Commissioner would
so decide. but as we do not care to
involve any of them in litigation, we
would advise them to abide by Com
sioner Exams construction, and only
sell to consumers in the leaf until
Congress can have another opPortu-
nifty to give them control of their
@wn crops.

pound, if they choose to become
wool producers as we'll as consumers.
We are sick and tired of hearing
complaints on this score-the wool
tariff is a farmers tariff, and the
wool growers Of Ohio, Texas, Cali
fornia, Oregon, and the Atlantic slope
appreciate the fact, and ara denounc-
ing the last Congress for reducing
it, and our farmers generally who
can raise sheep and Alpaca goats so
easily and cheaply, should fall into
line and share the profits of this
husban1ry at least to the extent Of
selling wool enough to pay for all
the wooden fabrics they buy or need.
Thousands of our people are doing
this, and right here in Monroe coun>
ty there are hundreds of noble wo-
men who from the wool of their own
sheep spin and weave the wooden
clothing of their fam:liee, and have
always done so, and we want to see
flock of greater or less size on
every farm in the State,and factory
in each county that will not only
supply the home demand but con-
tribute largely to the needs Of the
outside world.
The import duty on wool and
wooden goods is fixture, and every
farmer is free to choose whether he
will pay it to others or put it into
his own pocket; and no matter how
much he may grumble or growl, he
will be compelled to do one thing or
the other-he must become a tax
payer or ''tax eater" in the matter
of the wool tariff, and so he had bet
ter buy himself few sheep and
shot gun for their enemies, the

Within the last six Or eight weeks
mob law has condemned and executed
victims in at least five different states
of the Union--Iowa, Missouri, Ala
bama, Texas and Illinois. The last
lynching was in Illinois, and it was
the most revolving of them all. A
white and colored man, both drunk,
got into row. The white man drew
pistol and attempted to shoot his
adversary, but the latter wrenched the
weapon from the hand that drew it,
and used it with deadly effect upon
his enemy. For this he was hung by
a mob, though in any court of justice
he could not have been convicted OF
a higher grade of crime than man
slaughter. As Iowa started this Sc
ries of lynchings, she must be held
responsible for setting the fearful ex-
ample Washington Star.

She had the sweetest face.
And as she tripped along the green,
Her blue eyes seemed to say

And hope he will not stay!'
The Drummer turned his lowly head,
His weeping head he bent;
And way down on the Mobile road
This Drummer man he went.

He does not sleep, nor eat
And all about that maiden fair,
