THE LYNcHDuRd Girginidh says
that an overwhelming majority of the
people of Virginia not only want the
tobacco tax repealed, but expect that
it will be repealed; or, if not, that it
win be contrary to reason to expect
the Democrats of that State to take
any enthusiastic interest in the cam
paign. The Chicago Convention will
doubtless, make due note of this fact,
and put a plank in their platform on
which the recalcitrant Democracy of
the Old Dominion can stand.

We are glad to see that in its con-
troversy with the Almighty on the
German question, the Post does not
propose to overstep the courtesies of
debate. 1t may differ with God, but
nagnanimously allows Him to have
an opinion. The independence of our
esteemed contemporary is only
equaled by its tolerance of opposition.

house should have ever been built in the
city of Wichita, for how can packing
houses profit Wichita or southwestern
Kansas unless we can supply their
wants.
think that every farmer will agree
with me when 1 make the assertion tun-
less it should be some who have lived
in some OF the acorn precints of old Mis-
souri, or Ingeana) that there is no better
prettler country to grow hogs IN
than Kansas. As for corn we
have an abundance and no
industry IS SO encouraging to oldtime
hog raiserS as is the creamery business.
for the farmer can milk his COWS, haul
his milk to the factory and sell it for,
say. seventy-tive cents per hundred
pounds, and take back home enough
sour milk and whey at one cent gallon
to raise your calves in fine shape and
fatten your hogs too. Furthermore, it
does away with this cry of hard times,
and gives to each man who is interested.
money to pay his grocery bills at the end
of each week, and that of itself Is enough
to prove that the industry is what we
need. for any man that knows any thing
ought to know that grocery merchant
can't pay his cash money for groceries
and then turn round and sell
them to the farmer he carries a
year, as cheaply as he can to the one
who pays him the cash every week or
month, that we all will concede. We
can reason this thing like this: for in
stance, Mr.. A. is merchant and is sell
ing B. and G. their sugar for family use.
Mr.. b. buys for cash, while Mr.. G. is a
ticker. Well, the consequences are like
this, or at least they should be, for | am
one who believes in the man who has
worked hard for his money getting the
use of it, that Mr. G.. will either get
little less sugar for dollar or he will
pay a little more for it, for common
sense teaches Us that man must have
more for the use of his money twelve
months than for one month. B. d. P.

EXPERIMENTS WITH WHEAT.

Prof. E. NJ. Shelton. in his Bulletin
No. 4, issued from the state experiment
station, state agricultural college, says
that for several years experiments with
wheat have been in progress at the
college farm, having for their object %
to show the comparative values of CON-
mon and unusual sorts, and (2) TO give
expression to varying methods of treat
ment:
With the object of learning the effect
of moderately grazing winter wheat.

No. 3, fair average of the entire wheat
field. was selected for the purpose of this
experiment. Here a measured acre was
partitioned off from the remainder of
the field by a barbed-wire fence, and
adjoining it, latter on, an exact half
acre, the former for fall grazing,
and the latter for like use in the
spring. For the purpose of comparison.
quarter acre. uniform In growth and
appearance with the pastured portion,
was selected, and Of course was not
grazed.
OF the actual amount of grazing fur
nished by these areas, l have accurate
data regarding only the half acre used
for grazing III the spring. The area fur
nished the equivalent of 1l5 hours
steady grazing for one cow. This
''Steady grazing, 1t should be remem
bered, stands for much more than ordi-
nary grazing. which includes the time
occupied by the cattle in rest. In graz
ing the half acre the cattle were held up
on the wheat only so long as they fed.
As soon as they seemed stated, they
were driven to the barn. lam confident
that this half acre furnished the eguiva-
lent of one half months pasturing. The
acre supplied much more than twice
that given by the half acre; from one To
three cows-I cannot speak more accu-
rately-having been kept upon it during
nearly every day of November. The
fact that, to the pastured areas, when
cut, showed, in all respects, as
strong and vigorous growth
of wheat as that borne by the ungrazed
area, strengthens this view. There was
only this noticeable difference-and this
was slight-between the grazed and
ungrazed areas; the former, particularly
that used for fall pasturage, bore a con-
siderably more leafy straw, as indicated
in the table, and 1t seemed little slow
In ripening, although the time for cut
ting the three areas was the same.
1t savors somewhat of attempting to
''eat ones cake and have it" this pas
turing of growing wheat without dimin-
ishing its yield Of grain. However, the
practice can only be recommended in
the case of wheat that was sown early
in the fail and thus has been enabled to
make a luxuriant growth. 1t Is a matter
of common observation and experience
that this excess growth is often cause
of disaster to the crop. a further pre-
caution that will occur to most prac-
teal men; pasturing of the wheat fields
ouuht never to be permitted when the
ground Is muddy, or even soft from
rains

When congress meets III December it
will receive at least one report that will
attract the attention of the people of the
country III a pecuhor way Ii will be the
elaborate report of Mr.. Carroll D. Wright.
commissioner of labor. 1t will be devoted
mainly to statistics, showing the condi-
hon of the working women employed in
the shops and factories of the land.
Over LOO women have been interviewed
on these subjects and the results are be-
ing tabulated in strikingly plain and
attractive form. Commissioner Wright
expects to have his report in regard to
marriage and divorce in this country
ready for transmission 10 congress early
In January. The special agents engaged
in this work have obtained the figures
from every court in the United States
having divorce jurisdiction. There are
over 2,7o0 of these courts, and the period
of investigation extends from 1866 to
1885. The report will contain synopsis
Of the divorce laws of every state, and
the statistics of divorces in the principal
countries of Europe. Colonel Wright
says that this is the first investigation of
the subject for original information that
hds ever been made in any country.
