A Change Recommended in Seeding
for Grass.

Mr.. S. r. Carson, president of the
of the Cecil farmers Club advoca-
ties radical change in seeding to
grass. He suggests in place of SOW.
ing timothy seed in the fall with the
wheat, that the wheat stubble should
be burner over after harvest, the
ground plowed and in August sown
to timothy. If this method is
attempted the burnt surface should
not be pfowed under for the best
results. In place of the pillow cut
ting and smoothing harrow should be
used and the mellow surface reduced
to filth IS fine as dust. Then SOW
follow with q Thomas smoothing
harrow and roll. But if a radical
change should be attempted, we be-
lieve much better results could be
obtained by reserving the yard ma.
nure till after the wheat was sown
and then with manure spreader use
the dung for top dressing, which
would form fine even mulch, prov
ing both a protection to the young
wheat and timothy plants in the
winter and spring, and fertilizer.
when most needed. Grass never
fails where yard manure is spread
on the surface. All improved meth
DDS require greater degree of case,
skill and intelligence. These last
essentials not being present, is the
main cause of failures with those
who give new methods an imperfect
trial. There is nothing so much
needed in farming as higher order

An Opportunity for the People oil
Rising Sun.

In Baltimore one of the most rapidly growing
enterprises of the last few years. and one of the
most appreciated as well has been the Instalment
Business. Its great advantage and benefits espec.
ialiy 10 the medium and poorer classes cannot be
o Yerestimated. Formerly people in ordinary cir
cumstances were compelled to do without grea t
many necessary comforts of life; that is, their
houses were scantiiy furnished. and only because
they could not at any time raise sufficient cash
money to properly furnish them. What little fur
niture thay had, was of the poorest and cheapest
class and never made respectable appearance, or
gave any satisfaction. Now on the Instalment
Plan any honest person, no matter what his or her
circumstances are no matter hew poor or how
rich. they can get anything in the way Of Furni.
ture. Carpets. Stoves, Crockery, Refrigerators.
Baby Carriages. Parlor Organs. etc. in fact any or
everything necessary to furnish the Home com
by simply paying a small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments. which
are made to suit their circumstances and are al
ways made so low that the money will hardly be
missed This plan has become SO popular in all
the larger cities that over tw0thirds OF all the
people now purchase their household goods that
way;-n fact all except the extreme wealthy class
es. Now the people OF Rising Sun never have had
this opportunity offered them. so the Peoples
Instalment Company, 1i9 and 1l9 Ia N. Howard
Street. between Fayette and Lexington Sts. Bali-
more. the largest and best conducted and most
reliable Instalment house in Baltimore, have de-
cided to allow any resident of Rising Sun or i'm
mediate vicinity, the same advantage as the peo-
pie of Baltimore now enjoy;-that is to sell them
anything which they may desire to have on the
Instalment Plan at lowest cash prices and make
| terms of pay ments low enough to suit any ones
convenience. This House not only sells every
thing in the way of Furniture, Carpets, Stoves,
Reirigerators, Baby Carriages. Crockery, Cutlery,
| House Furnishing Goods, Parlor Organs, etc.. but
also carries complete stock of Silks. Velvets,
Foreign and Domestic Dress Goods. Ladies' Cloaks
and Wraps Millinery, Gents Youths, Boys and
Children's Clothing, Shoes. Hats. Watches. Jewell
ry, etc;-in fact they are general outftters and
are the only House in Baltimore where wearing APP
parel as well as furniture too. can be bought ON
/ T.1Cka af fag.D and
terms of payment. This House will always be
glad to have the people of Rising Sun call on them
I whether they intend purchasing not, will be
glad TO have them look through their immense
/ Warehouse and get full particulars regarding
Terms, etc. ANY information desired by mail will
be promptly furnished. mch2S-3m

Land Grants.

The most recent rulings on land grant laws--one refusing d government survey ot the Peralta grant, the other deciding that man could not be eje :ted from so-calle ed grant until 1t had been posi- lively coniirmed--tre disastrous blows to that class of corm grants who seek, under shadow of some pretended land grant title, to go into the land grabbing business No ection of the Union has suffered so severely from land grant liti- gatipn as New Mexico and Arizona. In each the actual settler has too often been worried and harassed into cknowledg- ing such claimants title by some sort of compromise, that was little better than open robbery. Rings Were formed and syndicates created to hunt Ip SD called land grants on which to base proceedings that were nothing more nor less that at tempts at black-mailing. If by intmi- datIon or otherwise the schemers made their plans work, well and good, and if they failed they lost little if anything. While such a condition Of affairs existed neither Territory could expect any great degree of prosperity, for like millstone a% the neck of drowning man, this le- gacy left by old Spain in the shape of obscure and complicated land titles, dragged down to death almost every enterprise that looked towards the de- velupment of the natural resources of the southwest. st.-Hnl # & Horn.

 Olly those who have done some piece of intellectual work to be judged by many. officially entitled to sit in judg- ment upon ii but in no way qualified. know the full depths of human stu- pidity even in fairly educated folk. And those who have had that sorrow ful experience have seen such depths of human stupidity as would c priCr; have been thought incredible. The most frightful exhibitions of stupidity occur when men. not by any means stupid or iliterate. ara called to jnd re of work which lies quite outside their experience and capacity. Likewise when men. Of fair general informa- ton, try to pass themselves off as possessing knowledge which they do not possess It was not a blockhead. but a man of moderate learning and of very grca smartness (and self-sul1ic;ency). who seriously declared that he had never read either Shakespeare or Milton; and furthermore, that he did not believe that any body had ever read eiih I Shakespeare or Milton. Having looked into Hamlet one evening. and found that he was not interested. he con cluded that he was fair specimen oi | educated humanity. and what did no. interest him could not interest any body. Many men, fairly literate, have rough impre ssion that all intellectual work belongs so much to the same order, that if they can, with good result. apply tEeir understanding to oae portion of it they may withoui absurdity apply their unders andine to any p )rtion of it. This is curiou- illusion. A decent graduate of Scotch university. who has studied for tho kirk ard done the duty of parish fol ten years. would never dream thai he was therefore qualified to judge oI the technicalities of music. or of arch;' lecture, or of engineering. or of golf In such malt .rs he would bow to the judgment of experts. 1 have indeed heard of good professor of divinit, who instructed Sir Gilbert Scott, neal the end of his career, in the high prin cirles of architecture, the professor stating that he had evolved these iron his inner consciousness in the light O the Divine. But after he had spoken at much length, Sir Gilbert Scot smiled kindly and departed withou even a syllable of reply.

THE question of the removal of the Territorial capital from Pres colt at the next session of the Legislature is quite freely discussed by the people and the press. Maricopa county expects to be able to remove it to Phenix and will bend its best effurts to do so. It can present many good reasons why such a change ought to be made and pos sibly it will be able to secure it. But the same argument that is employed in behalf of Phenix upon this question, applies with even greater force to Florence, which possesses beauty of location and sur. roundings with perfectness of climate that cannot be surpassed in the Terri tory. The only remaining drawback the want of railroad transportation- will be removed long before the six teenth session of the Legislature.
