Beet seed has faint tinge OF

brown If it is old, and it's vitality
is very doubtful when old.
Lamp black mixed with strong
vinegar is said to make a paint for
marking sheep that will not injure
the wool and will remain for a year.
Soft wooden plants should always
be placed nearest the light, while
hard, smooth .leaved ones will not
suffer in quite shaded situations.
The Rural Workman says a tea
spoonful of coal oil poured into the
wound made by peach borers in the
body or limbs of trees is sure death
to the borer.
a wise observer has said: Ten
successive wheat crops will plaster
a mortgage on the farm, under which
the owner must abdicate. In other
words, then successive wheat crops
will run the owner heavily in debt.
1t is not always the darkest green
in the growing wheat that gives
tile best harvest. A slaty blue cast
indicates a soil too wet, a dark corn
green, soft heavy straw. The true
wheat color is a lighter green, even
in it's color over the field.
1t is unfortunate when the char.
acter and fertility of d field is not
nearly uniform in it's several parts.
With uniformity of soil the crop
will ripen so that all can be har.
vested together, and this with ma
chinery run by horse power is q
great advantage.

No party, because it is in power, can
afford to create Constitution for State
to suit itself only, for by and by, the ta-
bles may be turned and then it might
. be the out instead of the IN, and its own
work, when in power, would prove a
boomerang. Constitutions should be
strictly non-partisan, and convention
to frame Constitution should likewise
be non-partisan, in spirit at least, if not
in composition.-Go Gainesville Meas.

THE SETTLER MUST Colt appears
that there is very large number of set

of losing their homes simply because
railroad company has been treated with
liberality for which there is no equity
and perhaps no law. In 1856 company
was granted large tracts of land on con-
dition that it would build railroad with
in five years. A part of the road was
built, but the greater part of it was not.
Later on these same lands were turned
over to the State by the general govern
ment for internal improvement purposes,
and the State extended the time of the
company for building its line to ten years.
At the end OF the extension the road had
not been built. For fifteen years moth
ing was done towards complying with
the conditions of the grant. At the end
of that time a company, claiming to be
the assignee of the original grantee, built
the road and claimed the land grant. In
the meantime, however, the land had
risen in value until it was worth many
times what it was when the original
grant was made. Under the impression
that the grant had been forfeited settlers
occupied a great deal Of it, and made
valuable improvements upon it. The
lands of this grant, together with the inn
provements of the settlers, are now Off
cred for sale.-Sdrdnndb NeWs.
