IT is high compliment to Judge
Jones that the only "argNm ent" adj
vanced by the Democratic press of
Iowa county in opposition to his re-
election is that he has held the Office
two terms already. There is no
charge that Judge Jones has grown
neglectful of his duties, or that his
decisions are improper, or that he
has in any way forfeited the respect
and good will of the people-no
claim that the people are in any way
to be benefited by change.-only,
having held the office two terms, he
should now give way to gentlem an
who has been out OF Office Dor nearly
three months. The people, however,
viii probably consider that don't
make any difference, their only inter
est being in having man there up
on whom they can depend for an in
telligent, conscientious and faithful
discharge of the duties of the posi-
ton, and having found just such a
man in Judge Jones, they will not
be anxious to try doubtful expert
ment at this time Chronicle.

Imprisonment not exceeding twelve
hours; and the officers, agents and

acts by minors shall at once give in

good thing to tap the tree and get a
good taste of sap. Cutting good
sized cash in the tree with his AK he
inserted the wedge in order to keep
it open, and then stopped down to
get a swallow of sap. In his en-
deavor to get a sip of the sweet
fluid he got his nose into the open

slipped the wedge and the unfortu-
nate victim was caught by the nose
and held as securely as if his pro-
boscis was in vice. For two whole

LAST week we published m item
on how to start tobacco beds, etc.
Here is another, taken from the Mi
amisburg Bulletin, on the same sub
ject:
AS to location choose a southern
exposure or south side of a fence or
building, convenient to water, and
in the matter of soil, select prefera-
bly,, clay ground mixed with black
loan. In the location Of beds spec
ial care should be exercised with ref
ereuce to drainage. Low spots
should be avoided, or protected from
washing in heavy showers by ditch
ing and by boards around the bedss
otherwise seeds will be washed all
over the beds, and plants will bo
missing in some places while too
thick in others. Spade up your seed
bed, for all varieties, as early as pos
sible in the month of March; this
will allow the ground to settle and
the weeds to sprout before sowing
time.
Work well rotted manure into the
beds when spading them up, in adj
dition to the top dressing to be laid
on later. Let the beds be about five
feet wide, running east and west,
lengthwise. Turn up the ground
shallow--not over six inches, elevat-
ing the surface three TO four inches,
with n fall of about two inches from
north TO south. Run six inch boards
along south side of bed, and if not
convenient to fence or building place
eighteen inch boards along north
side to act as reflector, using trian-
gular pieces to match at the ends.
Now cover the surface of the bed
barely with chicken manure. Deep,
old soil, well drained and heavily
fertilized with well rotted stable
manure, is best for tobacco. Avoid
shallow, level, new and undrained
lands. Fields that were not rough
ly plowed and fertilized last fall are
now before us for treatment. The
best immediate results are attained
by covering such fields with manure
and plowing it under so as to throw
the manure two or three inches be-
low the surface, then harrow occa-
sionally until ready to furrow and
hill. The object Of the preparations
here directed is to secure strong,
plants with bushy roots,
without wedding, and with the least
possible labor and risk of failure.
NUMBER OF SEEDs.-I do not be-
leiye there is one man in a hundred
who is aware how many tobacco
seeds he actually sows, as it is the
almost universal complaint that the
plants are too thick in the bed. In
order to determine as nearly as pos
