Political Reform.

Great reforms are demanded in our
politics, notably the complete reform
of the civil service. There is good pros
pect of the success of some of these
measures, if only decent men Of both
parties will stand up for decency and
praise it wherever they see it, demand
ing and commencing the thorough
enforcement of the laws, whichever
party is in power. If these reforms
fail, the blame will lie at the doors of
those otherwise highly moral and pre-
utable citizens who prefer the success
of their party TO the welfare Of their
Countrywide Century for June.

of the time of planting and harvest
ing, to determine the best results; ex-
periments with new or unusual crops,
rs seed.raising, new fodder crops, such
as millet, sorghum, mustard, and 9th
ers; the effects of drainage; the value
of special fertilizers, as lime, bone-dust,
potash; the trial Of the various rene

methods for preserving posts and 9th

many interesting branches of agricultu-

methods of experiment There are
two great essentials at tlls foundation
exact measurement. and exact record.
Measure everything, either by weight,
by dimensions, or by duration of time
and keep systematic record of every

and you have the whole secret of ex-
perimentol science. Think what you
desire to ascertain, and direct the ex-
periments accordingly. Think over
the results OF your experiments care
fully, und draw your conclusions. In
dealing with crops, the customary
method is, to divide II sufficient area of
land into CAREFUL y-measured small
plots, and use each plot, or number,
for any particular plant under trial.
Where it is a question of soil or man
urcs, always have the crop under test
on at least one plot, the soil of which
Is left in the same natural condition.
This last serves as basis of compari-
son with other plots that have been
variously fertilized. Am. Agyicultit-
