SPRING

Is tho season In which bad or poisoned blood
is most apt to show itself. Nature, at this
juncture, needs something to assist it In
throwing Oft the impurities which have col.
lected by the sluggish circulation Of blood
during the cold winter months. Switt's
Specific is natures great helper, ,as it Is pure
ly vegetable. Alternative and tonic.
Rev. l. Paine, Aac0n. TIA. writes: We
have been using Swifl's Specific At the Or
plans home as remety for blood CONF
plants and as general heath tonic, and
have had remarkable results from its use on
the children and employees the institution.
1t is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the
blood 80 pure, that the system is less liable
to disease. 1t has cured some Of our children
of Scrofula."
W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga,
writes: 1--WE are selling large quantities Of
Swift's Specific for a spring alternative and
general health tonic, and with the best re-
suits. 1t Ia now largely used as preventive
and cure for Malaria. There are many re-
markable evidences Of Its merits in this SEQ
tiOn.

USEFULNESS or LIME.

The Iowa Register says, in refer.
ence to the usefulness of lin e, that its
power to decompOse makes 1t
it specially valuable in poor granite
soils. Lime breaks up and pulverizes
stiff clays, improving their texture. 1t
decomposes inert vegetable matter, peat,
roots, etc. 1t hasteus the decay of
stable manure and dead carcasses,
putrescent matter, etc, but IN all
such cases If the manurial qualities
are to be made useful they must
be covered with earth during the
action of the lime to absorb the am
mOnia.

FODDER CORN.

While the Agricultural Experiment
Stations and q few wealthy men who
can afford to make tests of new pro-
cesses without regard to immediate
profitable results, are pursuing their in
vestigations to determine the true
value of ensilage, the mass of farmers
need not hesitate to prepare for crop
OF the old style of corn fodder. All
know this to be good and profitable,
whether fed green, or well.cured and
preserved as winter fodder, for most
kinds of farm stock. Our best and
most extensive Western farmers now
cut their corn at the root, as the Eastern
small corn-growers have done from
time immemOrial.
They carefully preserve it,. and de-
pend upon it in winter as much as upon
timothy. Though not equal to good
hay, it has great value in connection
with it. A sad waste Of food material
1t is to let stalks stand in the field un-
touched, or at hest half consumed by
stock; they are trouble in after cul.
tiyation. But whether the stalks and
leaves are to be utilized or not after
hu.king the corn, there is no better
paving acres on most farms than thel
one sown to corn for succuent fodder
alone when grass fails in autumn.

A CURIOUS DOCUMENT.
" hich the civil Service Comraissi0n io
Io COB.ider.

when the SfSh service SOnthishIOn 10
to COB>ider.
Among the curious documents submitted
to the Civil Service Commission for its
consideration is a memorial from an asso-
citation of colored walters in Washington,
in which they complain Of system which
has been permitted to grow into danger
ous proportions" OF allowing men who
are in the various Government depart
ments to hire out their services at night as,
walters to the great detr!ment Of those
who rely solely upon this business for the
means to support themselves and their
families. The regular walters consider it
unfair and discreditable to the government
service that men who receive an annual
salary of from $500 to $1,000 per annum
should be permitted to take the bread out
of the mouths OF women and children
whose husbands and fathers are not fortu.
nate enough 10 hold government po-
sitions. While legitimate walters are
glad to realize $25 or $50 per month
for the support Of their families, il
strikes them as rather strange that men
who earn $65 to SIS per month in the de-
partments should not have honor and pride
enough to be content with their very fat
places. Not only have they the cream, but
they want the SKINNED milk also. II the
messengers in the departments are not sat.
isfied, the regular walters are ready TO take
their places, and will, most willingly, give
the "poor outside devils" as they are
called, chance to turn an honest penny.
The commissioners are asked by the me-
moraiists to issus an order forbiading, on
pain OF dismissal, government employees
from sleeping all day on q good salary,

CENTRAL PACIFIC TAX SUITS.
The Railroad Creates Surprise BY OF
ferinx TO Pay Up at once.

The Railroad Creates Surprise " Of'
feripx 10 Pay Up NJ Once
SAN Francisco, January 24.-Some weeks
ego the Central Pacific Railroad offered to
compromise the tax suits brought against
them, by payinga fixed amount, which
would have been some $500, 900 less than the
sum actually due, even if penalties are not
insisted upon. To-day the corporation will
pay into the treasury the full amount OF
its taxes for 1880, 1881 and 1882, which
have been withheld up to this time. The
weakening of the company in this matter
is exciting surprise, as it was generally IN
derstood in legal circles, the corporation,
had q strong case, and that in any event
it would be able 10 keep the State
out of the money for several years
10 come, as the United States Su-
preme Court would not probably reach
decision earlier than 1895. Regarding the
penalties, no hope of collecting them was
entertained by any rational person, as all
forms OF law relating to delinquent tax
payers were ignored, no formal offer OF
the property of the corporation for sale
being made by the sheriffs OF any OF the
counties. The amount involved was s., ,OOO,.
600. Its payment into the Treasury
will ooviste the necessity for an extra ses
sion of the Legislature, which at one time
State Government among them the State
prisons, having completely exhausted
their appropriations. 1t is believed the
railroad company consented to pay up be-
cause it desires to soften public sentl-
ment, and that ii was not deemed polite
to preserve so great a cause for irritation on
the eve of an important election.

Ready for Werk.
The House Committee on Public Lands
have now gotten control of all bills intro
duced for the forfeiture Of land grants,
those heretofore in possession of the Judi
ciary Committee having been turned over
to the former committee. Judge Payson,
of Illinois, who prepared the report OF the
Committee on Public Lands favoring the
forfeiture of Texas Pacific grant, is Of the
opinion that railroads cannot delay the
final forfeiture OF improper grants by carry
ing the question into the courts, as it has
been iutima,ed that they would Go, for the
reason that they will have no status when
the grant is declared forfeited by the power
that made it. To maintain an ejeciment
suit ID would be necessary for the com
panies to show titles to the land in dispute,
and this they will not be able TO do. Mr..
Holman's resolution which was % decid
edIy carried yesterday, declsrinS that us-
earned land grants to railroads ought to he
forfeited, it is considered will Rut the Sbl
members, who voted for il, on record, and
