Agricultural Notes.

Says an exchange Every farmer
should understand something of agri
cultural chemistry, and of botany.
He can then tell just what sort Of
plant food his crops require and h-
need not put constituents on or in the
sail that are not going to benefit him.
Feed the plants according to their
necessities. This is rs essential to
plants AS to animals. Animals fed
according to their necessities will
thrive and become II source of profit.
Plants treated similarly will produce
similar results. Study the effect of
the air and water upon the soil for
these three combined are the sources
of fertility III all crops.
An easy way to distinguish which
portion of an ear of corn is good for
seed is thus told by correspond mt
of the Farming World: "Prepare a
rich spot of land some distance from
any growing corn, lay off the rows
four feet apart. and plant two grains
i'm every hill shell the corn first from
the butt end of the ear, and begin to
plant as you shell off, and so keep on
until the whole hill is planted. Thin
every hill down to one stalk. by
this process it is easy to tell what part
of the ear measures first and the part
that will make the hest crop"

A Kansas farmer has discovered a
new way of putting in wheat. He
has narrow iron wheel attached be.
hind the drill, which follows the drill
row and firmly presses the soil with
the seed to IA greater depth. The
chief danger to Kansas wheat is from
violent winds, which blow away the
surface and leave the plant roots ex
posed to the cold of winter. BY this
method he grows upward of lifty.siX
bushels per acre. The plan is worth
irving in other localities.

To tie Citizens Of Jamestown.

AS q proper recognition Of the high
compliment paid our city by Mr.. Willard
in stopping with us two hours with his
distinguished guests, 1t IS hoped every
citizen will heartily unite to make the
occasion a memorable one, and each do
all in his power to give the cltv rs 1nv1t-
ing and cleanl7 an appearance as pessi-
bic. AS part of the programme will
consist in taking u ride over the city, al
low ne to ask the business houses and
private residences to gather in piles all
the refuse matter IN front Of their re-
spectivc buildings and wagon furnished
by the city Will remove the same on Sat-
urday. The city will also remove all
cobble stones from the streets and have
the weeds cut along the principal ave-
nues. BY this united action, together
with extensive decorations to be made by
committees already appointed, we can
present an appearance that shall make
an impression on our honored visitors
and at the same time do honor to an &C.
caslon that celebrates the completion of
the most important railway that spans
the United States.

Too Previous.

The Sioux Falls Press, which suppos-
ably represents r. f. Pettlgrew, was
'previous" enough to publish the fol-
lowing with reference to the conference
at Fargo last week. Perhaps it has
heard something drop by this time:
What has become of the Fargo conven-
ton that was called to meet at that place
by ordway's mayors Of North Dakota
cities? The jamboree was to have taken
place on the 22d, but the Pioneer Press,
the quasi organ of North Dakota, of date
Of the 23d, which came to hand last night,
contained not a word regarding the pro-
posed gathering. Did the thing die in
he shell so dead as to have been forgot
ten IN That region, or was the meeting
such complete failure that the silence
Of the Z. p. was asked? Something has
surely gone wrong with the move, other
wise ltwould lr1ve been beomcd broadcast
throughout the land. Or perhaps the
thing passed of SO slick and smoothly
That the delegates, on the principle ''thal
II you have good thing keep it,'' are
Keeping 1t all to themselves. Who
knows?

susnectad Murder.

DETROIT, Aug. ga man named Har-
ry Culcher was found dead in his wagon
Sunday morning near Perry. Shiawasses
county. Saturday Cuicher and man
named John Woolver, who had been Wis
iting at Perry, started home from Perry
in company with a bottle of whisky.
Both got drunk, and on arriving at Gull
cher's home he was left in the bottom OF
the wagon, where he renamed over
night, while Weelver went into the heus G
to bed. Culcher died soon after beng
discovered In the morning in an uncon-
scious condition, and it is now claimed
he was poisoned by strychnlne. Woolyer
was arrested. A fact that strengthens
suspicion against him IS that he bought
bottle of strychnine white in Perry Sat
urday. He gives q. confused and contra
dictory account of the occurrences of the
day and night, as might be expected from
his drunken condition. Culcher, 1t is
SAID, recently married q girl for whom,
Woolver is alleged to have had liking,
which Is offered as the motive for the
suspected murder.

TIE latest reported scheme of Jay
Gould's is TO offer the government the
Western Union telegraph system without
cost and on condition that the govern
mcnt shall turn over TO the stock holders
of The Western Union tho surplus earn
ings every year for twenty years, after
which the company Will cease It's claims.
There are some collateral matters that
are not mentioned in this report which
would necessarily have to be agreed upon
and arranged, one Of which is the tariff
charges. 1t would not be expected that
Gould would permit such reducuon OF
the tariff as to leave nc surplus. and on
the other hand the government would
not permit the Western Union stock 4
holders to regulate the tariff. 1t is diff
cult TO sec how tins obstacle could be
overcome. The subject of teiegraphic
system by and under control and owner
ship OF the government will no doubt
OCCUPY the attention Of the next term of
congress, but it Will likely be some years
befsre any definite conclusion will he ar
rived at
