TOBACCO BEDS.

It is near time to prepare tobacco
beds. 1t may not be anliss to give some
collected instruction on the subject.
Selected slopes towards the south near
water are the best for plant beds. Have
a bed 20x20 feet. for each acre to be
planted, surplus of plants is never lost
Have the ground thoroughly dry and
then burn it. Burn over the surface
with poles or brush for two hours and
thoroughly kill all germs that will bring
weeds. Dig the ground three or four
inches deep and thoroughly pulverize.
Mix one and half tablespoons full OF
the seed with half gallon ashes or
plaster and SOW along across till you see
the ground evenly covered. You can
test your seed by putting it in wet
wooden cloth and keeping warm few
days. It will sprout if good. Press the
bed with plank or otherwise to firmly
inbed the seed. Then the bed should
be protected from the1fiy and the vicissi
tudes of weather. This can be done by
covering with cheap muslin. Have the
muslin sosthat it can be taken off anc
replaced at pleasure. You will thus
have your plants started and little
common sense will tell you what to de
with them until setting time. -Loncaste

EARLY PEAS-HOW TO GROW

know of no royal road. We can only
plant, and cultivate and wait. BY as.
slsting nature at the start though We
can sometimes hurry her up little
I have found two ways of doing this
One is to ridge the ground in the fall,
before it freezes. 70 make it dry off
earlier In the spring. and the other is
to start the seeds before the ground is
dry enough to be worked. The first
needs no further explanation. For
the second / place my seed peas in
moist sand, about the last week in
March. and set the box containing the
sand IN warm place. until the peas
have form sprouts about half an inch
long. Then, if the soil in the garden
is not yet sufficiently dry for planting,
| set the box in the cellar. covering it
with board if mice are troublesome.
and leave it there until we can plant.
[ have left the sprOuted seed in this
condition for a fortnight without any
apparent harm resulting. When the
ground is dry enough to plant. pick
the peas carefully out of the sand,
place them indhe drill about two inch
es apart. and cover lightly wi fiue
soil. / have gained as much as eight
days in earliness by thus starting the
seed beforehand, though the difference
is usually not so much
The earliness may also be increased

er and easier on runners than on
wheels. The advantage of a thorough
narrowing with smotherlng harrow
is 50 great that it pays not to SOW grass
in the autumn, but at the time of har-
rowing in spring. Grain sowed broad
cast by itself should always be harrow
ed several times. Multitudes of weeds
are thus killed, and the stirring of the
soil is great advantage. Grass sown
by itself will almost uniformly give
satisfaction. The earlier spring
grains are suWn the better. Forage
crops. such as peas and oats, spring
rye, wheat and vetches or peas, should
be put in in succession once in two
weeks. Certain seeds of root crops
are very sensitive to dry weather.
Parsnips must be sown very early !;
an admirable crop for milk, and for
neat cattle. Mangels and sugar beels
are best put in early; but carrots at
any time before midsummer. The
tendency of good practice is to grow
more roots, green forage, and fodder.

In Iowa a yie,rous attempt is being

In Iowa, a vigorous attempt is being
made to reorganiZe the sta q jury sys-
tenn. The senate of that state has just
passed bill providing that hereafter
in counties of $4,000 inhabitants or
less the grand jury shall consist of Ave
members, and in counties of greater
population of seven. In order TO find
an indictment there must be four
votes out of the five or five out of the
seven, as the case may be. At present
grand juries number fifteen members
in all the counties and twelve votes are
required to indict. This is not as bad
as in Illinois, where the grand jury
consists # twenty-three and is as un-
wieldy as town meeting. but it is
thought in Iowa that j'EieS of fifteen
are cumbersome and needlessly eXpen
siye. The new bill provides that in
counties where the jury is to be COM
posed of five members the number
drawn shall be eight and in the larger
counties twelve, the surplus jurors
being reserved to fill vacancies in the
same manner as under the present sys-
tenn The trial-jury panel in counties
containing less than $4,000 inhabitants
shall consist of fifteen, unleS, the judge
otherwise orders, but in counties of
over $1,000 population the panel must
number twenty-four. The purpose of
the bill is TO relieve the smaller coun-
ties of the expense of maintaining as
complicated aud elaborate jury system.

SENATOR sPooNER's SPEECH.

The brilliant argument of Senator
John G. Spooner, of Wisconsin, in the
Senate, on the subject of removals
from Office, is evidence Of the fact that
he Is one of the ablest members of that
body. His assault on the doctrine of
Presidential responsibility and of the
one-man power was remarkably vigor-
Gus and effective. He showed by the
constitution and laws that the Senate,
as component part of the appointing
power, must necessarily give its ad-
vice and consent to removals from
Office. Drawing the legal distinction
between the suspension and the re-
moval of a public officer. he showed
the exact line to which the power of
the Senate, acting in conjunction with
that of the Executive, extends and
where it stops.
His argument on the effects of ade-
suetude" in abr0gating statutes was
especially clear and powerful, and he
sharply arraigned the President, who
is sworn to execute the laws. for de
claring that they lose their force from
disuse. lie said:-
It was dang. rous time when the
President of the United States, with
an oath registered in heaven to stake
care that the laws should be faithfully
executed" should send a message to
the Senate saying that statute had
fallen into harmless disuse, though
the statute remained on the books.
If there ever was a time when there
was need of respect for law it was
now, when in manv States thoughtful
men were turning blanched faces to
the future. How could the people be
expected to yield cheerful obedience
to the statutes when the first citizen of
the republic-himself charged with
their txecution-was heard asserting
that statute could harmlessly fall in
to disuseP

strong convictions, and he is rapidly
gaining reputation as one of the most

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN AS
ISOLATION.

The meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association, which conyen-
ed in this city on Friday evening last,
appears to have been a meeting OF
more than ordinary success, much hx-
ceeding the expectations of its friends.
The attendance from the commence

of the Association who chiefly conduct
ed the meetings were from Milwaukee
and Racine, and WEI N silly persons
who have in past years had expert
ence in the management of meetings

from Milwaukee were Mr.. Lewis,

Racine, Mr.. Anderson, Secretary Of
Racine Association; and many other
gentlemen from Milwaukee and othel
places, who are efficient workers II
the Association.
Among those who came here to par
ticipate in the labors of the AsSocla
ton were several effective speakers
who seem to have special adaption'
for addressing young men. What len'
additional interest to the meetings wal
a good number of fine singers.
1t is the general remark that in M
former year in the history of this cit.
has there been such religious move
ment as the present. 1t is looked up
on as remarkable, for the reasons tina
previous to the commencement OF tn
meetings here there had been no pal
ticular religious interest for a lon
period. The meeting on Frida
last was like the sudden outburst o
religious enthusiasm.
The present religious movement car

conductors of revival meetings hav
often been criticised. Among all citil

ADJUSTING AN OLD NATTER.

When General Rusk assumed the
duties Of Governor, January 1st, 1882,
there was a claim of the United State
against the state of Wisconsin of $2O7,-
6S5.16. This claim was relic of the
war-a part of the tax imposed for war
purposes during the rebellion, which
had never been paid by the state. On
the other hand the state had claims
against the National government for
money which should have come to
Wisconsin as trustee and have been
credited to the school and swamp land
funds. The Uuited States had credit
ed certain amounts to this state so
that a year ago this winter the balance
due from the general government was
$51.145.56. Wishing to have per-
manent adjustment of the whole busl-
ness the governor last year deputed
Col. Burchard to go to Washington and
secure a decisive settlement. With
the earnest cooperation of Mr.. Cas-
we'll the object has been accomplished.
The manner in which the business
has been conducted was something
like this: When the taxes were i'm
posed by the government during the
war, the state had the option of col :
lecting them. and being allowed for
its services commission of Is per
cent, CT of permitting the national
government to make the collection
through its own agents. Wisconsin
adopted the former method; and, as
stated, on the first day of January. 1882,
the amount due the United States
was $207 ,685.16. Governor Rusk soon
succeeded in getting the government
to credit Wisconsin with the sum of
$3.50, $3.50, leaving balance of SOL
las Sc, which sum has been in con-
troversy since that date.
The manner in which this has been
paid is thus indicated by Mr.. CaswelI ]:
