State Convention.

Of all places mentioned for the holding
Of the democratic state convention, the
people of this city favor Peoria. 1t is the
most acceptable for many reasons than
Springfield. tits live, progressive town,
centrally located and otherwise favorable.
The ARGUS trusts the central committee
will decide on Peoria as the place to hold
the convention, for on the whole, it will
give the greatest satisfaction.

Guyer.

We were down at the Rock Island &
Peoria depot this morning, and ran aross
Ed Guyer. Edwas looking as radiant E.
sunfiower, and seemingly was as happy
as meadow lark. He was gong out on
the Mercer county train to Reynolds on a
tour of investigation, or in parlance plain.
he was going to view the landscape DER
in ii political manner He is still on the
track for states attorney, and happy is the
farmer he tackles today if he succeeds in
getting away from Ed without having his
arm-yea, verify, both arms-talked of
him. GuYer has entered into this cam.

Wheelock, OF Peoria, ia up in that city
trying to have her character bolstered up
She was charged with leading three young
girls astray. She told the ARGUS editor
that she stands solid with The police and

Took a Tumble.

II. 5. Wage is fond soul. and Just
now has the roller skating rink mania on
his brain His mind constantly wanders
to four wheeled skates, and he talks
indeed and dreams either-of nothing but
roller skates. Yesterday somehow or an
other Wage got it into his head that the
people of Taylor Ridge wanted a rink
Accordingly he gathered together his
stock Of roller skates, and bied himself
down TO the Rock Island & Peoria depot,
where he could take a Mercer county
train for the Ridge Tue train soon came
in and Wage climbed on board. Ere long
the train pulled out Wage was busy
counting the moments until he could ar
rive at his destination, when all OF a
sudden it flashed on his mind that his
dearly beloved skates were not
with him, but were still at the
depot. He made rush to
the door, and jumped off on Seven
teenth street. The train was going fast.
Wage landed on his head. But he didn't
stick" He bounced like an India rubber
ball several times and finally landed on
his stomach, He got up, looked around,
and after cussing in soto for a while, he
marched back 10 the depot and again
secured his stock iu trade. This was the
reason the people out at Taylor Ridge had
not the pleasure ofgazing on Bro. Wages
countenance nor the opportunity to break
their necks on his skates He will try it
again-to get to his destination, we mean,
and not to tumble-tonight, when he
hopes to make good connections

June Butter.

The standard Of quality in butter is based
on the properties given to il BY the sweet,
green grass of June. June butter is noted
for its high color, for its delicious flavors
and corresponding aroma, and also for its
keeping qualities. 1t is not well defined
where the color of butter comes from, and
how we may always be able to obtain it
without resort to artificial means. We
know that certain cows are characterized
BY high color TO their milk, and to their
butter made from it, We know, too, that
when cold weather is upon US and the cows
are confined TO the dry folders and inferior
folders provided at that season, that the
milk and butter are low down in color. So,
too, when the warmer sunshine Of June re-
turns and the cows are turned 10 The sun
shine, the warmth and the pasturage on the
fresh, green grasses, color is given which
is not secured at any other season. Just
what gives that superior color-whe,her it
is the sunshine, the temperature, or the
green heritage, or whether it is the combi-
nation Of all-is not definitely known. Per-
haps il makes no difference, for il is impos
sible 10 surround the COWS with June condl-

errors j. 10 allow the cream 10 remain on

''0ugh", Not the Indian Ugh"

The plowboy whistled behind his pillow.
For his lungs were sound and he had no
cough;
He guided his team with plant bough
And wstered il well at wayside trough.
The toll was hard for the land was rough
Ii lay on the shores of Scottish lough-
But his well fed team was stout and tough,
And he piled his bough to flank and hough.
He ploughed all day. and the crow and enough
Flew around his head though he oft cried
slough,
But his pillow at last struck hidden sough
With a force that sent the share clear
through.
Then the team took fright and ran of with the
plough
With the speed of the wind from the plow-
boy, though
He shouted ''Whoa, - and into slough

The ploughboy wept. for the wreck was
thorough:
He fed that night from the farm to the

The Destruction of Weeds

There are few, if any operations on the
iarm where SO much time is misspent as in
the destruction Of weeds. Many farmers
spend twice as much time TRYING to keep the
weeds down as is necessary. and vet do not
much more than half accomplish the
work. This is because they le, the weeds
grow too large before the work is COM
menced; once master of the weeds, tie
work Of keeping them down is very easy !:
but # y few days delay the weeds are
permitted 10 get well rooted. the work Of
exterminating them is not only very diff
cult, but very laborious, and even when
accomplished, leaves the crop in crippled
condition. There should be but one rule to
adopt with the weeds; that should be, Kill
them as soon as they appear above ground
1t is easier to cultivate the ground three
times when the weeds first appear, than once
after they get several inches high, and the
crop will grow twice as fast by so doing.
The idea that some have that the Gu IT,
Walton of crops is for the sole purpose of
keeping the weeds down, leads some TO
make very great mistakes cultivation is
often delayed to permit all of the weed seeds
to germinate that one hoeing may keep
them down, then it is believed that the crop
will take care of itself; this is mistake
that is fatal to the production of a very
large crop; and YET the one hoeing will
usually require as much time as it would to
go over the ground three or four times,
when cultivation is commenced as soon as
the weeds appear.
As frequent cultivation is very necessary
to secure vigorous growth ofslmost any
crop, if the labor of cultivation were more
the benefit to the crop would more than
cover it; but with proper implements, the
labor of frequent cultivation is less, because
as long as the ground is comparatively clear
of weeds. except those which have just ap-
peared above the surface. there is but little
need Of using the hand hoe.-Kass. Plough
