Proposed Repayment Of the Direct State
Tax

Governor Rusk Of Wisconsin. who is in
Washington, has plan which meets the APP
proVal of several other governors. to secure a
repayment to the States of the amount of
direct taxes paid under the direct war tax act
of August .. 1861. a large part of this tax is
stll unsettled. Many of the States. especially
the southern States. have not paid the amount
assessed to them. while the amount unpaid
by the Northern States is considerable. There
are many complicated questions connected
With the adjustment of the remaining claims
In view OF the plethoric condition of the treas
ury, therefore. several of the governors have
thought that Congress might be disposed to
pass IA law settling the matter by reappropriat-
ing to the States the amounts that they have
paid, and by forgiying to other States the
amounts still charged against them Such IA
plan would, unque>tionably, have a good deal
OF strength. as every State would have IA direct
interest in it. The amount of the direct tax
that has been paid by the Northern States is
Sl2.45l .43I. and the amount still due from the
Northern States is S455,22 The amount of
tax lected from the Southern States is 81 220-

Alexander on Dat Culture.

Written in response to many requests, by
letter, from readers of The Cultivator.
1t has become plain to the Southern
people that the long.neglected oat crop
has been one of the heavy clogs to the
wheel of fortune, that we have all
been striving to roll up the hill Of ad-
versity. To make oats success, the
preparation of the land is the point.
We must have a good "seed,bed."
This preparation guarantees, first, a
good even stand; the loose earth resists
the hot autumnal sun, furnishes mois-
ture in the dry weather, drains off the
surplus water in wet winter, and,
most important of all, is a non.con-
ductor of cold as well as heat, and will
not freeze so hard and deep as badly
plowed land.
1t requires no argument to show an
intelligent farmer (and no other should
try to FARM that these are truths that
cannot be contradicted. To make a
seed>bed in stubble or clover land is an
easy task. AS soon as the corn and
cotton have been finished. the two
horse or turn-plows should be made
ready, so that with the first rain in
August the sod can be turned; and in
turning this sod the harrow should fol-
low within two hours after the pillow.
Clay land never pulverizes so we'll af.
forwards. Not necessary to say what
kind of pillow to use, only the twister
and scooter won't do-the land must
be turned. The farmer who relies on
these kind of scratching plows to bring
up his land and make an oat crop, will
certainly fail. l prefer the Avery
steel or the Oliver or Poland chill
plows, but suppose there are Others
equally as good. For dragging down
the turf and pulverizing the sod, I use
the harrow that was sometime since de

Controlling Sex.

Iowa Homestead.
The Swans have been trying for
years to solve the problem of control
ing sex in animals. About every other
year some philosopher exclaims, Eureka,
| have found it, but the facts in the
case soon cover him with confusion.
We are inclined to the opinion that
this power of controlling sex in man or
animals is one Of the powers specially
withheld by the Creator. Possibly
that veteran old stock raiser, Jacob,
knew some cute tricks in the business
that would make fortune for a mod
ern agricultural editor, if he knew it,
for in his family there were twelve boys
and only one girl, but if he did he did
not let the boys into the secret, and
fortunately for them, if he had girl
babies would have been dreadful scarce
for thousand years.
We have one farm that has been
headquarters for females for five years,
and this year the males are almost
unanimous. Out of a hundred new
corners in the pig yard, three,fourths
are males. The provoking thing is
that just now everybody wants to buy
females; and 50 it goes.
The only being on earth that knows
how to control sex is the queen bee.
She lays drone eggs and female eggs
just as she pleases, and keeps a bust.
ness eye on the weather and honey
crop In deciding, but although we have
often asked her to whisper the secret
to us so quietly that the philosophers
can't hear it, not even Father Clarkson
or Orange Judd, not one of our queens
will tell us. Provoking, of course, but
how can you help it?
Thus the secret is locked up in the
bee hive--a secret that would make
the Iowa Homestead the richest paper
in America, but the queen won't tel

As distinguishing between fruit and
vegetable, it may be said that fruit al.
ways follows fertilization in the bloom or
blossom. Anything which grows from
the blossom and begins its growth after
fertilization, is called fruit, while the
vegetable, as the potato or cabbage,
grows without reference to bloom or
fertilization.
