A RLowHARn

The Beacon is down 70 its old tuna of
liar" That sheet can't got above such
spithets either in argument or reply. The
editor OF the EAGLE did not OPEN or zee a
single issue Of the Beacon for last week. We
did not see what it had to say about our an
nsuncemsnt with reference to the dispatches.
Oscar Smith nor any one else, thea nor since,
AID one wsrd about our incorporating the
fActs' in our hearing. We said that the pre-
tended private dispatch bullstined BY the
beacon was NO doubt bogus. We still
believe 1t was. We said in answer to A an
nouncement that the Beacon was going to
read the dispatches tina. night from their
awning that it would do no such thing for
she simple reason that they were franchise
worth $5.0oo-not $5o0-and that the EAGLE
owned them exclusively, and thai the Beacon
could only read such bulletins rs might be
sent IN. II was just dusk and the Beacon
had lighted up We repeat the same thing
now and have the documents to prove all we
ss'd. II the Beacon should wear OUT all
i@ presses in calling u, ssliar" il would not
afect the truth of that assertion. That out
ut must have taken the people for fools. We
Aesrd dozens of people say that the Beacon
Did not read the dispatches in full, and an
evidence Of the fact is the great crowd stayed
on this side Of the street, knowing that we
read every word that came and just As it
came In conclusion, we have nothing 10
crawl out of and nothing to apologize for.
The Beacon gets only the noon report, and
that is al it docs get and all it can get. The
EAGLE gets all that the Beacon does and three
tims - much beside. A thousand men
heard what We said, and a thousand men are
Just ~ veil satisfied as we are that the Beacon
read only such bulletins and dispatches as
suited is side, and thousand men are Just
- well satisfied rs we are that the "solid
south" bulletin never came over the wires

AMOUNT or GRASS sEsp PrR


1 - in :orns Of the papsrs lassly writer
claiming that farmers do not COW enough
grass seed per acre, and says in substance
that this fact accounts for their failure in
raising good crop Of grass. He claims
that two bushels Of timothy seed Der acre Il
not too much. and teat . peck or half q
bushel is not enough. Now, what has led
this writer 10 such ideas or conclusions do
not know, but do not hesitats to pronounce
them unsound. When was young man,
and just beginning farming for myself, one
Of my neighbors, an older man than myself,
told me he used . half bushel Of timothy
seed per acre, and thought that about right.
sowsd this amount last year and observed
that my grass crop was not - heavy -
l had grown before from lees to the
scre. The grass grew too thick to attain .
proper height. In other words, it was too
thick to thrive. The nsxt year l sowed only
. peck per acre, and had better results; but
was satis6ed had sowed too much still to
secure the best returns. ! reduced the
quantity till cane down TO two quarts DER
scre. lam now satisfied that three to four
quarts per acre ID enough If put in 20 il can
grow. do not throw il on the ground and
leave it to cover itself, Or wait for the rain to
do that. cover Il = l would any other
seed that wish to grow. Now, farmers, let
us look at this matter little. How many
seeds to the square foot would you wish to
have grow 20 that each stalk may have room
TO grow and thrive! Could more than one
sssd 70 the square inch do we'll! Think IA
sesds to the square foot 10 % heavy seeding
- 10 desirable for the best rssults. I have
seen timothy seed some 20 thick that none Of
It grew six inches high; Il just ehoksd
one another out. Now, how much sesd
must be used to furnish one seed to the
square inchi A little calculation will an
swsr this better than can answer Il In any
other way. BY actual count the scruple
weight Of timothy seed contains a.ao0
seeds; one ounce, $500 seeds; one pound,
In, 800 seeds; ono bushel, q, 2o6, 900 seeds.
One acre contains 160 square rods or 43,S60
square feet, or ST., $40 inches. From the
above you see that one bushel Of ssed TO the
acre would be eight and eight-tsnths seeds
to the inch; OF eouse two bushels would
furnish twice ~ many or l7.6 seeds 10 tho
inch. Who wants seventeen or eighteen
seeds to one square inch! What folly!
What waste Of seed! This is, in my opin-
ion, pronigacy. From the above We see
that one quart Of seed has l,72S,000 seeds,
three quarts 6,1s4. 900 seeds. So that S.6s
quarts Of timothy seed will make Just seed
enough for one acre. sowing ono seed to The

FERTILIZATION OF CORN.
From the Klmira Husbandmaa

From the Elmira Husbandman.
At late meeting Of the Elmira, n. Y.
Farmer club, the following question was
asked; Will kernel Of corn planted bv
itself, in place remote from other corn.
produces perfect sarss And the answer was:
No; at least it 10 not likely to produce per-
feet ears, because it cannot have perfect FOR
tilization. President McCann ouerisd:
would it not be well to plant in the corn
field occasional hills later than the frat
planting. in order to effect greater fertiliza-
ton Of ears with the later pollen falling
upon the silks Of ears formed after the poi,
len had ceased to drop from the earlier tss-
sells in such profusion a. to provide certain
fertilization: Mr.. Hoffman thought il
was not necessary, inasmuch - the poll
len would continue to fall so long rs the
necessity existed, and he explained the
method OF fertilization - observed
in his long experience. While single plant
might effect perfect fertilization, the chances
were not favorable, because pollen, light A.
it, floats of with the wind lateralIy. and
would be carried away from the ears beneath.
whereas in the 6eld the pollen from one row
may be carried across n,any Others. and At
last reach the silks upon distant rows. He
was very sure that his corn had been mixed
with other varieties, when tho mixture had
come through pollen from Aelds many rods
distant, thus showing the tendency to d;stri-
button within the field whsre single variety
prevailed, and the tendency 70 mix alss when |
another variety was within such distance |
mat the wind might carry the pollen to the
ields awaiting fertilization. As to the fact |
hat the bot ears are usually the upper ones |
when two or more are borne BY the same
talk, be regarded it 40 in accord with q pro-
'ision of nature. tho best fruit being found |
Usually on the upper limbs Of the trses. and |

To she Editor OF The Eagle.
Immediately after the news reached herethai
New York was doubtful, if not los. to Blaine,
twhen itso rightfully belonged to the Re
pubiicans) a large crowd witnessed the
burning Of the efigy of ST. John with evil
dent deliget. Since that time the Democrats
have sought TO cause . wrong impression of
ths motives Of that crowd to prevail. But
few OF our people are opposed to protibi-
tion or to ST. John being candidate of the
prohibition party of the United States, but

Ii there was no studied effor. on the part
OF Gov. St. John to simply defeat the Re-
publican party, why did he spend his time
and eIer, his Republican influence on the
Republicans Of New York and Irdiana-
the two doubtful states. Why did he not
lecture his sinful neighbour Of Missouri,

John P. st. John, Olathe, Kansssf
Accept congratulations for the success
which seems to have crowned your efforts to
defeat the National Republican ticket.
We hope that, when you come to realize
the full effects of your courss upon those
causes which, in the past, you have 20 zeal
ously protested to have ct heart, namely,
Republicanism and Prohibition, that you
will not, like your illustrious predecessor,
90 out and hang yourself, but that you may
continue to live like that other traitor Of
later date, to receive the excavations of those
who were your friends, and TO whom you
owe all the homer and preferment you have
ever received in Kansas, and - an example
to the rising generation Of the fate that
surely awaits the man who sacrifices every
thing to an overweening ambition"

TAKES 1T BACK.

Now that the election u over and there IL
no further chance to make campaign thun-
der out Of the Oklahoma business, the Kan
sas City Times publishes the extract Of Sem
stor Plumb. speech, which appeared in this
paper and edtorially remarks:
During the recent campaign Senator
Plumb, Of Kansas, in q political speech
made some remarks concerning Oklahoma
that under ordinary circumstances would
have received more general attention. In
justice TO the senator, - well - in aid of
the project to open the Oklahoma Lands to
white settlement, his remarks should have
wide circulation.
Senator Plumb's Bill was in many particu-
lars broader in its scope and more practical
in its intended results than any measure Of
the kind yet brought before congress. II
should be pushed to an early and successful
issue.

10 tas ESstor Of tie DaSy Eagls:
And the Democrat was crooking his fnge
at the Republican, and winking at his part
and dong all thsse things, and Garden Plair
was lively.
And there was . multitude in the place
and out Of the midst Of them came up
voice saying: "Arcuse ye, jolly Democrats
we have gotthere Eli"
"Arise and drink and be merry, for to.
morrow we may ge. left" And they all
answered in loud voice saying:
I've will p And then they began to
drink, for behold they would not stand back
when principle was at stake.
And they drank freely. And they were
very merry and painted the town rcd. which
is after the fashion Of this people.
Now there lives at this place poor cripple
who had. back Of his house, a cage Of beau
tiful white and spotted rabbits-very pretty
pets, gentle and innccent-and for which the
poor owner would not have taken any price.
But the gallant band had bonfire and
their souls craved little innocent smuse-
ment.
So they took the box Of rabbits and set IL
upor the fire and stepped back to view the
pleasing spectacle.
Then one raised his voice ana said: "Ob
