Catalpa Ties.


The catalpa is already used
in the southwest to some extent,
for railway ties. 1t is a wood
OF rapid growth, and yet has
shown remarkable auraplity.
In an address before all agri-
cultural society, in Ohio, Gen.
Harrison, of Indiana, told of a
catalpa foot-log over a small
stream in the Wabash country
which had been inN use for one
hundred years, and was still
sound, showing nosign ofdecay.
There are many well authenti-
Gated reports of catalpa fence
posts which have been set fifty
years or more and still show no
sign of decay. 1t is generally
believed by those who have a
lifelong experience with it, that
it will outlast any other timber
in use not excepting red cedar.

serves to be remembered by all.
The public generally de-

A few years ago cotton seed
was of little value to the plan
ter. A small quantity was fed
to stock, but the great bulk was
used for manuring lands. Now
there are eighty cotton-seed oil
mills in the country, consuming
100000 tons of seed, which
yielded 100000 barrels of oil
In a few years every pound o.
seed will be consumed by the

The Republicans intend to

during the campaign. Mr..
Blaine has a large bari of that
article which he has filed by a
happy combination of private
speculation with public specnla-
ton, and will no doubt use it
freely in paving his way to the
White House. The monopolists
and railroads will shell out freely,
and it is said that Blaine's bo-
som friend William Walter
Phelps, has promised his per-
sonal subscription for $780, 900.
Speaking of Phelps reminds us
that he gave a dinner party a
few days subsequently to the
meeting of the Republican Con-
vention, and when the wine be-
gan to pass freely, the host be-
came communicative in relation
to the manner in which the
nomination of Blaine was effect

was due largely to the purchase
of colored delegates, and SO Mr.
