TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The idea that lightning is not so
destructive as it used to be in the
United States, because the network OF
railroads and telegraph wires lessons
the number of accidents, is met by the
record of the summer. Fatal thunder
bolts have never been more common.
Some of the reasons for distress in
Ireland last year are shown in the
statistics of crops gathered in 1881 and
1882. There was a decrease in all Of
the more important agricultural pro-
duets, amounting in potatoes to nearly
a million and a half tons. This de-
crease alone would account for great
deal of suffering.

Preparing Specimens for the Fairs.

There is quite a kuack in prepar
ing an exhibit for the fair. Many
really fine specimen is overlooked
and passed by, by the judges, be-
cause the exhibitor had it poorly
arranged and displayed in poor
location. As a rule, the successful
exhibitors are not the best farmers,
but those who have acquired the
skill of showing off to better advan-
tage than is deserved the products
of their farm or orchard. Stock
men fully understand this, and the
premiums being always liberal,
they can afford to spend weeks and
even months in preparation. The
attractiveness,of vast amount of
mellow flesh, of silky hair, of pol
ished horns, OF clean legs, ears and
feet are well known to the habitual
stock exhibitor, and never fail to
win, bringing him not only money
for his outlay, but reputation for
his stock, which is as good capital
as he wants. But with many of us,
we dig our potatoes promiscuously
and send them in without washing
select the vegetables at random
from the garden; put our grain
half cleaned into old sacks; send
our fruit only half packed, and ex-
pect an out-of-the-way place to put
it all in where no one sees it and
where the judges are sure to pass it
by in silence. This is all wrong.
If we are going to compete for a
premium we ought to begin now,
If it is in the way of grain, the
field should be looked over, and the
heaviest portion marked, if of veg
etables the plants should have
plenty of room in which to grow; if
of fruit, the specimens should be
selected early and watched, that
strength of the branch be concen-
trated, and the sun allowed free ac-
cess to color and ripen them.
Grain should be thoroughly cleaned
in a mill, and put IN new and clean
sacks. Specimens in the straw
should be pulled up by the roots
and tied at each end and the mid
die to prevent breaking. Space to
exhibit should be applied for in adj
vance, and the display arranged
with all the taste the exhibitor can
command in the family. By watch
ing others-the old eXhibitors-One
can get an idea in a short time of
how they do it, and if he be an apt
learner it will not take him long to
be successful competitor of him
self. -MInneapolis Pioneer-Press

Southern CultivatOr for Sep
TENDER.

The first fall number of this, the
South's leading agricultural publication,
comes promptly on time, and is full, as
usual, OF the very best reading for the
southern agriculturists and their fam
lilies.
This number opens, as all the others
do, with DIR. Jones excellent Thoughts
tor the Month, marking out the work
for September with that precision and
care for which many years experience
as farmer and as an agricultural wri-
ter has qualified him. We will only
mention few OF the leading articles of
this excellent number, assuring our
readers that if they are not subscribers
they really are neglecting privilege
that is in reach of all.
| The "Silo" is written up by Mr..
Henry w, Grady, who gives full de-
scription of Mr.. a. j. Orme's Silo,
within few miles of Atlanta; ''Good
ways" are discussed; the sixth number
of "Dickson's System OF Farming"
duly appears, and in it is discussed
"The Cultivation of Corn" "Ditching
and Terracing," '.The Legal Depart
ment," "Patrons of Husbandry" and
"Bill Apps Letter." written especially
for The Cultivator, are all interesting
| features.
The September number has plan,
with illustrations, for building model
gin house, well worth years sub
scription to the paper. The Jersey,
| Horse, Hog and Poultry Departments
are full and interesting.
$3.50 will pay for a years sub
scription. which amount is exceed
ingly small compared to the benefits
| to be derived from its reading; or,
better still, to clubs of five the pa
per is put at $1.25 year each, to clubs
of ten at $1.0O each. Address Jas. p.

Bill Aru's Philosophy,

What the people want and ought
to have-homes and a chance
homes and a living chance. Give
family home of their own and it
is best safe guard for the perpetuity
of a government and the happiness
Of q people / was always sorry
for family who had no home, but
had to dodge about from house TO
house-no orchard to improve, no
flowers to love and nurse, no sacred
spot, no castle, as Blackstone calls
it. / don't know how other people
prize it, but my home is the dear
est spot to me and my family on
earth.
There is no place like home-not
a rented one, forever wanting re-
pairs, but home to live and die in,
which the boys who have found
work afar off can look back to with
with affection and revisit with de
light, and where the good wife and
daughter can plant vine and rose
bush and SOW the flower seed, and
the orchard and the grape vines
bring their fruit in due season.
1t won't do to say that the poor
are 100 lazy to work and buy land
and have a home. They haven't
been tried They don't get enough
for their labor to lay up anything
They are not encouraged. Wander
bilt and company get all they make
over and above a poor living, and
Vanderbilt must be protected
The trouble is our people have got
hardend to fixing a minimum price
upon labor, just enough to feed and
clothe the family stingily with no
margin for old age or sickness,
much less a house. What does all
this mean that three syndicates are
buying up all the land of the great
west; 100000 acres and 100000
acres in Texas, and large tracts in
Arkansas? Why don't the United
States government buy it up and
save itfor homes our for people? The
government gave away 100000, DOC
of acres in Texas at one time to 9
wealthy corporation to hire 'em to
build a railroad-more land than is
obtained in any four states in the
Union except Texas, and ourstates-
men made no protest. The money
is all going into the hands of few,
and so is the land. There is a way
to stop all this, but when it is agi-
tated the rich and powerful cry out
robbery, and hire the press and
bride the big men and scare off the
little ones,and so it goes. What we
need are states, and men, not hire
liDgs. We want fearless men who
can't be tempered with. Let all
this surplus wealth, these bloated
fortunes be taxed to support the
government After man has ac-
cumulated 100000 begin to tax
the excess and the more he accu-
INFLATED the heavier the rate; and
when he gets it up to a million, take
all the excess, if necessaryto equal
ize in some measure the burdens
and comforts of life and provide
homes-humble homes-for the
people. A man with ten acres and
house of his own is a good citizen
in peace and a tower of strength to
his government in time of war. A
million of dollars is enough tor any
one man. He ought not to hunger
and thirst for more; for he can t
need land it makes dog of him to
hoard it up.

Girls and BOYS.

Our deadliest enemies are oul
boys. Girls, indeed, are often &
great nuisance to a father; they
have to be fed, doctored, clothed
educated, if possible, married, anG
if nobody will have them, provided
for as old maids. All this means 8
good deal of worry, Lo doubt
But, on the other hand, daughter,
if of fairly good disposition, and
not absolutely repulsive to look at,
is often a great convenience in a
house. She sees to the warming of
her fathers slippers, is always
ready to sew button on his shirt,
or find his spectacles, or docket his
papers, or, in fact, do any Of those
innumerable things which wives
forget to do, and which no servant
can be trusted to do properly.
Moreover, a girls pleasures are US
ually quiet and unobtrusive. And
even if she be little high-spirited,
man must indeed be q nincom-
poop if he can't snub and bully his
own daughter into a complete sac
rifice of her whims to his convent
ence. There is this, too, to be re-
membered, that a daughter, if mod
erately well treated by nature in
point of appearance and by her pa
rents in point of clothes, is often
quite credit to an old gentleman
as he walks down the street with
her. arm-in-arm. This is matter
to which fathers are often keenly
alive. For be it observed that no
one can get much dash out of wife
when once "the spread of age" as it
is called, has taken fairly hold of her.
For these and other reasons it often
happens that a father is quite fond
of his daughter, and almost grudges
her to the husband who is prepared
to take her without penny.
But boy stands on a very diff
ferent footing. Look at him from
what point view you please, a boy
is an unmitigated nuisance. OF
course, it is always possible that
some good may grow out of him, as
out of manure. When
he ceases to be boy, and grows to
mans estate, he may become very
amiable member of society. But
where is a fathers satisfaction in
that? When the youngster grows
up he takes to padding his own ca
noe, and might just as well be some
body else's son for any benefit his
parents get ont of him. This is a
sad truth, which parents are not
slow to anticipate.

The eighth time he calculates;
''There's the COMPOUNDED thing
again"
The ninth time he wonders if
there's anything in it.
The tenth time he thinks it might

The eleventh time he thinks he
will ask his neighbor if he tried it,
or knows anything about it.
The twelfth time he wonders if

The thirteenth time he rather
thinks it must be good thing.
The fourteenth time he happens
to think it is just the thing he
wanted.
The fifteenth time he after n long
time resolves to try it as soon as he
can afford.
The sixteenth time he examines
the address careful and makes
memorandum of it.
The seventeenth time he is tan

to afford it.
The eighteenth time he sees
it he thinks painfully how much he
is in need of that particular article
The nineteenth time he counts
MS money to see how much he
would have left if he bought it.
The twentieth time he rushes
forth and buys it.
