Saving Seed.

SEED to be used next season should be
saved early, says the Ploughman. To be
of any advantage to the saver it should
be saved carefully. In the first place
attention should be paid to the growth
of several plants, that the best may be
invariably selected for perpetuation. AS
soon as the seeds are gathered, no matter
how pressing the needs of the hour may
be, they should be put into packages
that shall contain the names of the seeds
and any memoranda that it may be essen
tial or desirable to know when the SOW
ing time comes.

Harvesting the Corn Crop.

While the products of the corn plant
re of more importance to the country at
hrge than those of wheat, nothing like
he same anxiety is felt about it in ad-
ance as the time of harvesting draws
ear. Corn. which is native to this
ountry, has SO many excellencies that
enumerating them some are liable to
ke overlooked. Among them, and. not
be least, is the fact that the gathering
the grain may be delayed or greatly
&eglected without very serious loss, while
Fith the other cereals, especially with
Fheat, no delay can be to Grated and,
Fhen threatened with rust, neglect for a
ouple of days may cause the loss of the
Ifop.
The plant also accommodate itself to
ifferent soils and climates, growing
hpidIy in the shorter seasons of the
orthern States and lengthcning its time
Il growth as well as the length of its
FaIks, in the longer summers of the West
nd South. 1t does not succumb easily
unfavorable seasons, and with any
hing like proper culture rarely failso of
kaking ut least moderate crop. Be-
des this it is Lat seldom seriously af-
Pcted by disease or insect pests. Of
be maladies that affect other cereals
here is one that occasionally appears in
bis and deserves to be guarded against
efore it becomes more generally prev
ent. This is a fungus growth, or
ind of puffy excre ence attached to the
ak that seems akin to the smut in
heat and other grains, and if left to
evelop and mature is quite certain to
crease from year to year. To prevent

Fences.

In the new order of things fences are
tapidly disappearing from the land. This
much improves the appearance of city
and town streets, and is change in the
fright direction, and should be regarded
as such.
Fences cannot be dispensed with upon
farms, however. They are needed as a
matter of protection against animals that
are allowed to feed along the wayside
without proper oversight on the part of
owners, and they are needed to keep
animals in one field without allowing
chem to run into another.
1t is important that fence should be
continuous, and that when it is varied
= by gate or pair of bars that this device
be in perfect order, and serve the same
purpose as the fence itself.
In some parts of the farm, swampy or
= woody sections, brush fence answers
he requirements. Occasionally stones
may be utilized, but the fence best
adapted for general use is that made of
rails. The wire fence is often cheap and
Useful, but this can apply chiefly to that

Excellent system of fencing, but care
ully considered 1t seems impossible to

common occur ence for an animal to 90
kp to the fence to scratch his back, and
hus lacerate the flesh terribly. More
innocent creatures are hurt ignorantly
y coming in contact with these "bar-
oarous fences" than human marauders
re injured. Fences are still needed in
he country, but simply as effective bar
iers, never as an instrument of torture,

IN one years time again they meet,
And kneel before the sovereign's feet Il:
And as with gracious outstretched hand
He welcomed home the youthful band,
He natural eagerness expressed,
To see the objects of their quest.
The first such lustrous pearls displays,
That every tongue is loud in praise.
So white, the snow-fakes on their way
Compared to them are dull and gray.
The next diamond more pure,
And larger than the Koh-i-noor,
That shone with such a brilliant light,
The sunbeams, shamed, withdrew from
sight.

When = person comes 10 our city to
trade they naturally want to know
where they can get goods the cheapest.
In certain lines Of goods the are special

Of the house Of A. X. Kelly. He makes
no great pietentions, docs not claim to
be revolutionising the world, but does
claim to sell all goods at great deal
lower price than they can be purchased
for elsewhere.
He has met with good success since
establishing this business In our city
four years ago. Mr.. Kelly has been
connected with the commercial world in
Hillsboro since 1872, formerly handling
sewing machines and was also in the
hotel business for q time. His present
establishment is located on High street,
opposite the post Office, and Is known as
the "Cheap Cash Store" The store is
replete with dry goods, notions, fancy
goods, jewelry, glassware, chinaware,
tinware, majolicaware, vases, toilet arti-
cles, lamps, lamp fixtures, and house.
hold goods generally. All goods are
which astonish the closest buyer. One
reason Of this is because he has very
little expense in running his business.
He hires no clerks, pays no rents, and
buys goods in large quantities and gets
the benefit of jobbers' prices. In other
words, his purchases are from bankrupt
stocks, which gives him the best goods
ct the very lowest obtainable prices.
The business OF this gentleman has
steadily increased from year to year and
at this writing is very large indeed. In
fact it has reached such proportions that
he has not sufficient room to transact
his large business, and will build this
spring and increase his store to double
the present size. In order to give him
an opportunity to do this he will close
out part Of the stock and has msrked
the price of many Of the goods away
down below cost. Mr.. Kelly is very
attentive business man, looking care
fully after every detail which would
tend to advance the interests of his
house, and gives greater inducements to
his customers than the average mer-
chant.
Troy Steam Laundry, Of Dayton.
This laundry is represented in this
city by Guy Kennedy, a most deserving
and enterprising young man, whose Of
fee is in G. w. Bowers book store. The
Troy steam laundry is one of the best in
the land. In fact their work is acknowl-
edged to be as good as it is possible to
make it, and is for superior to any work
done in the country. The charges for
work are very low. All work entrusted
to Mr.. Kennedy's care is guaranteed to
give satisfaction. In fact he never sends
out work unless it is all right In every
respect. and all persons patronizing him
will be we'll pleased. Orders are receiv.
ed up to Tuesday of each week, the de-
livery being made Saturday. All goods
are called for and delivered free OF
charge.

The Entire Nous society met and en-

day evening at the residence of Col.T.A.
Walker, in the southern suburbs. After
the usual business of the evening was
transacted the crying evils Of society
were discussed and various measures
that society could adopt to lessen these
social .excrescences were suggested. The
society is doing good work in promoting
the good and well-heing Of the young.
and we think 1t is an organization that
should be heartily encouraged by all

the next meeting some definite plan will
probably be adopted by which each
member pledges himself to become an
active worker in the laudable undertake
ing Of reforming society.
