UNDER WHICH KING, BEZo.
MAN

President Arthur is q Stalwart.
PRECEDENT Arthur wants the nomi-
nation for Pr. sident at the hands Of
the National Republican Convention
which meets in Chicago next June.
To obtain that nomination, he must
have a majority of the delegates in
that convention. As President OF
the United States he has an immense
advantage over opposing candidates
in his party. He has an enormous
patronage at his disposal. He is
using it to advance his prospects In
the Chicago convention.
All his talk about. civil service
reform and about federal officials
DUNG as they please about support
ing him, must be taken for just what
it is worth, and it isn't
worth a hill of beans. Federal
officials as a rule please to support
him. Nearly or quite all of them
appointed to office since Garfield's
death are Stalwarts. They are
friends of Mr.. Arthur. He appoints
no political enemies to Office. He
sharpens no knives to be turned
against him. He expects his ap-
pointees to work for him. and they
know it.
Governor Crosby Is one Of Arthur's
appointees. He is said to be a arm
personal, as we'll as a political, friend
of the President. The Govo"-~1
knows as we'll as Very one ELSE
-.~vs .uaI MI. Arthur must "rustle"
to obtain the nomination. His
friends must "rustle." The Gov
ernor is his friend, and
he will "rustle." The two del |
from Montana may decide the
nomination In Arthur's favor, and
the Governor proposes to name
them.

How Contracts are Made.

To make an agreement binding, one
party must make an offer, and the other
accept it. 1t takes two to make bar
gain. The parties must be of the same
mind at the same time. A man asks a
dealer what the price of an article is;
the dealer answers, giving the price. the
yer says he will take it. There is no
contract here unless the dealer then
agrees to sell it. When a man makes
an offer and another accepts it, the Sec
onl must let the first know that he ac-
cepts it. If man agrees to guarantee
that another will pay for what he pur-
chaseS, those who trust the party on the
fl tn of the guaranty must notify the
person who made it, or he will not be
bound.
Again, if one offers to pay one hun
drad dollars for horse, the seller to ac-
cept within twenty-four hours, the pro-
poser is not bound unless the other does
accept within that time. More than
this, one who makes an offer can with
draw it at any time before it is accept
ed.
The offer must be accepted as it is
made. If a seller offers ten barrels Of
-four at six dollars barrel, he is not
bound to sell five barrels at that rae.
When land is offered for sale and the
buyer offers to take it if the title proves
to be good. the buyer has not made a
contract that will bind the seller.
A contract that is made in sport, or
rs mere matter of form, is not bind
ing.
If man makes promissory note
while showing another how well he can
write, the note is not binding upon
him, unless it has been slid to some
person who knew nothing about it and
paid for it.
A man who is embarrassed in bust
ness gives bill of sale of his property
to friend. so as to cheat his creditors.
No contract exists and the cred tors can
hold the property. But the person in
whose favor the bill of sale is made ont
can hold the goods against The fraudu-
lent debtor.
Another case of this kind is often
seen in newspaper articles We read
that lady and gentleman 60 through
the MARI age ceremony at 4 public en-
tertainmeDt to amuse their friends, and
afterwards find that they are really
married. This is not true. The mar
riage contract is no more binding than
any other cont act unless it is made
and intended seriously, not in sport.
The contract must be made freely and
not unter compulsion. II a robber
holds q pistol at ira eler's head and
t reatens to shoot him unless he gives 4
note for a sum of money. the note thus
obtained is worthless. Again. a land
l,ri takes a boarder's wedding suit
rom him on the day the latter is to be
married, and refuses TO give it up until
note is given for board due. The land.
lord can not enforce the payment of .
note so given.
false statements made by either party
will make contract worthless. II q
person buys land. the seller saying that
there are twenty-five acres in the plot.
the buyer may refuse to accept it if
there are in fact only twenty-three
acres.-Youu's CompanioB.

Horses are often injured by being
overfed. This most FIRE ,uently happ rs
in the spring of the year when they are
worked hard at blowing and similar
work. Unthinking farmers have an
idea that because the labor is hard
horses require large quantities of grain,
which is generally a mistake. Too
much grain given at one time will have
a tendency to sour the stomach and de-
stroy the appetite. thus being really
worse for the condition of the horse than
not to feed enough.-Totedo Blade.

Farming Facts.

Chemistry has been called ne ,ur-
ner stone of agriculture" 1t is true in
the abstract, for by chemical change the
plant is enabled to receive the elements
that go towards their organization.
agriculture is the groundwork oil
the wealth of nations, us an universally
received axiom. 1t is true that without
agriculture. no nation could emerge
from barbarism, and the higher the
agriculture the greater the possible
civilization, but none but the crudest
agriculture could exist, unless manu-
features, art and commerce rendered
implements perfect and cheap. with
commerce to quickly and economically
transport the products of agriculture.
Horticulture is the poetry Of agricult-
ure. 1t is refining in its nature, broad
ems the mind, creates love for the
beautiful, and its products are the most
healthful food of man. An Indifferent
farmer never made good hOrticulturist.
A good farmer may, for to be success
full he must begin by being a good

The word agriculture is derived from
two Latin words, aJer, q field, and nj

The word horticulture comes from
two Latin words. hOrsnS, garden. and

Husbandry is now divided into many
and separate branches, although one or
more are generally combined. The
two great divisions of husbandry are
field husbandry, sub-divided into grain
husbandry, grass huSbandry, seed hus-

planting. tobacco culture and hemp

other great division of husbandry is
