/. A detection Of the traces when I'M

3. The use of the coulter was, without
exception attended with decided loss of
force or increased draft by whatever
form of coulter used, but was less with
the new style coulter than with the roll

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TAYLOR, April 1.-THE Farmers Ali
arce have been holding a meeting at
Taylor during the past two days. Last
night the citizens gave them a banquet,
consisting of ice cream aud other goodies.
Several speeches were made, both by
Alliance men and pros pective candidates
for the coming November election. The
Alliance speaks in complime ntary terms
of the the courtesies shown them by the
business men of Taylor.
The woods are getting full of candidates
for county offices, men who want to sacri-
flee their various business to serve the dear
paople--for the money there is in the office
and other considerations.
The voters, what few of them that will
not run for office, appear anxious for this
to be a free race, entries pen for all, re-
CARELESS of size, weight and previous con-
dition, which entirely does away with the
old system of convention farces.
If such should be the case, the few
voters left Will have no trouble in finding
some one TO set up the beer.

IFS growth. An early start is great
point gained, and the employment Of fer
filters i'm the drill is Of decided advantage,
provided, as has been already told, the
soil outside contains sufficient food to
keep NJ the growth of the plant. Poul-
try manure and Peruvian guanO have
cqch rendered valuable service when APP
piled in the drill.
LARGE areas are nowadays usually
uIqnted in drills, and corn planters and
cutivatOrs are quite generally adopted,
and it is commonly conceded that the drill
system induces the greatest yield, other
conditions being equal. Flat culture is
now the general rule for the corn crop, it
having long ago been proven that killing
is not required for the support Of the
plant, rs was formerly supposed, and
there is also Il saving of labor in the flat
culture system. A plan Of drill culture,
favored by some on light and naturally
dry upland, is what is known as the fur
row system Of planting. The field is
broken up as usual and made level. At
the time Of planting one thorough harrow
ing is given and the burrows laid off and
thrown up into five feet beds, the corn
being planted in the burrows between the
beds The object of this plan is to insure
moisture to the crop. The fertilizers
are sown in the bottom of the burrows
and mixed with the soil by running along
the burrows a sharp single shovel coulter
or dragging Il chain through them. Then
the seed is dropped.and covered.
The after cultivation is done with cult
vators, which gradually level down the
surface of the beds, returning the soil to
the corn and leaving the general surface
level when completed.
The system of 'checkingo corn, so that
the cultivation may be in two directions,
direct and across, is much practiccd in
the northern and western states. At the
east and in many Of the middle states
planting in drills and cultivating shallow
and. fat with CultivatOr and hoe prevails
among the more progressive farmers.
As to the matter Of seed, farmers are
advised for their general crops to plant
such varieties as in former years have
proven successful in their own localities
and in soils similar to their own. Small
plots may be prolitably employed i'll test
ing new and promising kinds introduced
by trustworthy seedsmen or other
farmers.

the end, as it holds the tying material
in place without being so tight rs
to choke the plant, and without it
the sharp wires are Il constant source
of danger, being liable to catch in
the clothing and seriously injure any one
thrown upon them. Groups of flower
stalks can be tied up by taking three of
the stakes and passing the string through
the wire loops. \ better way when shap-
ing the wires is TO make some of them
into pairs, shaped as in Fig. /, where the
tops catch together, forming Il wire circle
to support the plants, allowing them TO
develop their natural beauty of growth.
II these wires are dipped into thin paint or
black varnish they will last for years. An
easy way 10 do this is to stop up CGe end
of piece of twoinch gas pipe of the right
length fill with the Varnish and quickly
dip the stakes in and hang them up to
dry. Make these now and you will be
glad of it when stalking time comes.
