WIEN TO SOW sPRING GRAENs.

Many are not willing, says an exchange,
to make the condition of the soil as regards
dryness the criterion for sowing. Although
they may plow and cultivate the ground as
soon as dry enough. they are not disposed
to SOW their seed until it is warm enough for
il to terminate and grow rapidly. They con-
tend that seed sown when all the conditions
of favorable growth prevail will terminate
quicker, come up thicker, make stronger and
more vigorous plants, and push forward with
greater power to overcome obstacles and re-
sist disease or the attacks of insects, than
that sown in unfavorable conditions, coming
up thinly, feebly, and making slow and
feeble growth. They contend that plants
never fully recover from check received in
their earlier growth. If these conclusions
are correct, and wethink they are sustained
by science as well as by experience, it would
not seem difficult to arrive at some rule or
rules for spring seeding. In the first place,
as soon as the soil is in condition to till with.
out injury. it should be prepared. and thor
oughly prepared, for seeding. Then. if the
weather is cold and unpropitious, withhold
the seed until there is favorable change
and prospect Of continued warmer weather.
This favorable change may occur the latter
part of April, or it may not occur until May,
but until it does occur it is not advisable to
put the seed in the ground. Farmers are
pretty close observers of tho weather, and
can generally determine quite correctly
when warmer change has occurred, wheth-
er it is likely to continue. With the i'm
| proved drills now in use seed can be sown
quite RAPIDLY. when the seed bed is prepared
and very few days will suffice TO drill in
all the spring grain our farmers are in the
practice of sowing. 1t is certainly great
satisfaction to farmer to see his grain come
up promptly after sowing and exhibit q
bread blade and healthy green color. This
result is only attained when the soil is rich
finely pulverized. moist, and warm, and not
much is gained by sowing before these con
ditions are fulfilled. griculturaz Worlc

PRACTICE OF ENcoRINq.

The habit of encoring singers or 9th.
ers who perform the part assigned
them, as advertised on the programme
is criticised in an exchange as follows
"LET US SUPPOSE"
Let us suppose that a hungry man
goes into restaurant and orders din
ner. Heiinds it excellent, and devours
it with relish, Worcester sauce, pro.
badly. If he encores that dinner by
humping on the floor with his cane,
and shouting "bravo p until he is
hoarse, the proprietor of that hashery
does not furnish the enthusiastic a
second dinner, except OH the express
understanding that he is to pay for two
meals instead of one. A man goes in
to a cigar store, invests nickel in a CT
gar, and, upon lighting it, discovers
that it is very fine. That man may
stamp the heels off his boots, but un-
der no circumstances does the tobacco
mist come forward, with gracious
bow and beaming smile, and hand out
a complimentary cigar; at least, we
have never noticed anything of the
kind. These things being so, how does
it happen that an intelligent audience
that has paid dollar a head admis-
sion viii go on as if they were going
to tear the opera house down if the
performers do not duplicate the pro-
gramme and give them 90 worth IN
stead of 81. IF the performance is so
much better than the audience expect
ed, it seems to us that it would seem
more reasonable for them to hand over
another dollar apiece at the ticket office
as they 60 out after the performance
was over.

The Civil Service Commissioners ap-
pointed by the President short time
ago in pursuance of the act passed by
Congress are greatly perplexed about
admitting women to compete for gov
eminent appointments. The law OF
Congress is silent on the subject; hun
dreds of women are now doing service
in the departments. The men now
holding good positions strenuously OBJ
jeet to allowing women to compete for
the higher offices. The Chicago Tribune
justly says, the men who are making
so much fuss about meeting women in
competitive examinations should bt
content to stand on their own merits
instead of pleading the baby act"

RANDALL.
Our roads are again passable

Sydney Chamberlain has moved into
the Kline house on the farm of Joseph
Williams.
Mrs. Josiah Hyde, who went to Col
orado for her health last fall, has re-
turned. She is quite we'll and feels as
if she had a new lease of life.
Some of our farmers began to pillow
and SOW as early as the 9th, but farm
ing in earnest did not begin before
about the 18th.
Notwithstanding the apparent late
ness of the season, grass is more for
ward than it was at the same date
last year.
On the 10th Fordyce Benedict and
julie Kidder started for Minnesota.
Their destination is Crookston, which
is about 60 miles north and east of
Fargo. They took with them one car
load of horses and another car loaded
with cows in one end AMI farming
implements in the other. They calcu-
late to put in about 400 acres Of wheat

On the 10th, about sunset, small
cyclone struck Randall, at its south
west corner. At the residence of B.
F. Gibbs it injured his house, demol-
ished his corn crib and wagon shed, and
wrecked his old barns. Some of his
sheep were killed by the falling build
ings. Itnext struck the cheese factory
of the Hon. j. B. Vosburgh. wrench
ing off its doors and sending the
smoke stack to the ground. It tore
out a portion of the roof of his big
barn, including one of the cupolas, and
badly racked the frame. Some esti-
mate the damages at each place as
high as $1,000, and it is probable that
neither Mr.. Gibbs nor Mr.. Vosburgh
would have had it occur for a good
deal more money. The tornado con-
tinued on its course till it crossed the
farms of Mrs. SHIRLEY and Capt. Acker-
man, when it was no more heard of,
but fortunately no other buildings
were in its track, so no more serious
damage was done. This is the most
serious wind that has visited us since
June, 1851, which destroyed nice
piece of timber for DR.. Mcclellan.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Public opinion has evidently under
gone changes since last fall on the
subject of prohibition as means for
suppressing the traffic and use of al.
coholic liquors. This change is not
because of doubts in the principle of
prohibition, but because of growing
belief of its impracticability, at least
in many states of the Union. Many
towns and cities that favored prohibit
ton one year ago now regard high IL
cense as the more practicable method
of restraining the use of alcoholic
liquors. Wherever high license has
been tested it has produced satisfac-
tory results. In THO adjoining state of
Illinois high license has met the expec-
tations of the friends of good order.
From a statement recently made, it
appears there are thirty-four towns in
Illinois where saloon licenses are
charged $500 or more, and over sixty

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES.

If the Republican party wishes to
preserve it's organization and identity,
it is time to have done with indepen-
dent nominations for Office. Last fall
the majority of Republican voters in
this Congressional district were drawn
into the support of candidate for
Congress, whom few strategists lab
eled 8. independent The old and once
reliable Republican counties, especially
of Rock and Walworth, were taken by
this specious bait; the result was the
election of Bourbon over one of the
most talented representatives in Con-
gress ever sent from this state. 1t is
now freely talked among representative
men that John Winans, who was
elected over Williams last November,
will act with the Bourbon Democrats
when the new Congress assemblies in
December next. This is nothing more
or less than sensible people expected.
Mr.. Winans is not so simple as to be.
lieve he could maintain himself as
an independent in Congress; members
who have attempted standing aloof
from both parties have utterly failed
of commanding respect, and have been
treated of no political account. Every
one acquainted with Congressional
matters knows how vain it is for any
one member to attempt to set up an
INDEPENDENCE in Congress such under
taking is attended with the same diff
Guilty as the equestrian feat to ride two
horses running in opposite directions.
The most sensible thing for Mr.. Win
ans, when he goes to Washington, will
be to go at once into the ranks of the
Bourbon Democracy, "and not stand
on the order of his going;;" that is
where he has always belonged. The
Republicans who elected him have no
cause for complaint; they knew his
political history.

FEED OF COW BEFORE AND
AFTER CALVING.

AS the period of calving approaches the
cows system becomes much disturbed and
the circulation Is considerably increased.
The animal is taxed to the utmost to supply
the blood needed for the development of the
calf, and while In this condition a very
slight cause, such as cold or indigestion from
overlooking, may do great deal of mischief
1t is therefore dangerous to feed grain TO COW
for several weeks before calving. Nothing
is required except good hay, with few roots
or two quarts Of potatoes daily; no meal
whatever should be given bran slop
should be given only when required as a
laxative and then dose of two ounces Ep-
som salts should be mixed with it. Feeding
grain stimulates the milk organs unduly and
very frequently produces garget or longest
ed udder.
1t is great mistake to try to produce a
large development of udder in the hope of
obtaining a large milk yield afterwards. An
hour or SO after calving pailful of bran
slop with four ounces of EPSON salts nd a
handful of salt dissolved in it will allay any
feverish symptoms that may appear 1t is
advisable to greatly reduce or totally with
hold feed from twelve to twenty-four hours
after calving; only water with handful of
feed stirred in should be given. Theu there
may be fed one peck of raw roots, two quarts
of wheat or rye bran and two quarts of corn
meal, with all The hay she will eat. For the
first few days wet the meal in warm water
to drink. -CJeveLdnd Leader

MIXING SWEET AND SOUR CREAM.

1t is of pecuniary importance to those en-
gagged in the creamery business to know
that the extensive practice of mixing sweet
and sour cream, just before churning. not
only results in the production of poorer
quality of butter, Int in a diminished yield.
Sweet and sour cream of the same quality
yield the same per cent. Of butter when
churned separately. But it is not so when
they are mixed. The acid in the sour
cream does not have immediate effect in
weakening the membranes enclosing the but
ter, as has been frequently supposed. And
hence by mixing the per cent of glotules of
sweet cream that would have otherwise been
broken is greatly diminished by diminished
time in churning. 1t may be surprising to
know that the difference in yield of butter
between allowing mixed cream to stand "a
hours and churning Immediately is prox-
imately per cent. in favor of the former.
Further experiment is needed to determine
more accurately the evils Of the practice.

In the immense tide OF emigration
now flowing westward, it is the gener-
al remark that the movers on the
trains seem to be of the intelligent
classes-largely made up of young
and middle-aged persons whose APP

ness. The ship loads of lower classes
from the old world stop short of 60

Kansas; Dakota bids fair to at least
equal Kansas, if not surpass it in the

On the death of Postmaster General
Howe, it was thought by many that
the First Assistant Postmaster Gener
al, Frank Hatton, would be promoted
to the position. But there was a hitch
in the dashing Frank Hatton's case,
which the world in general knew not
of. AS the story goes, some time ago
he rushed unceremoniously into the
presence of President Arthur, with a
slouched hat on his head and a cigar
in his mouth; nor did he cease putting
while attempting to be familiar. From
that time President Arthur set Hatton
down as boor, and would have moth

WINTER WHEAT PROS Poets

WINTER WHEAT PROS PECTS
The Chamber of Commerce at Mil.
waukee has collected reports of the
winter wheat prospects in fifteen Of
the principal wheat-growing states in
the Union up to April Is. The result
of these inquiries leads to the conclu-
sion that the wheat crop will average
twenty per cent less than last year.
The chief causes of damage to the
crop was the extreme cold weather
and drouth. No estimate can be
made of the spring wheat; it may or
may not, to some extent, make up fol
the loss of the winter wheat failure.
