The announcement that the friends
OF General Harrison, the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, propose
to put an end to Handwriting and dai Y
depuIation business and carry him of
TO the mountaiDs for respite, is graft
flying. General Harrison is an eminent
man, within the shadow of the Presi-
DE- ncy, and in. whoSe welfare all citi-
zens have an interest. There is no rea

kindness of supporters or the enFhusi

nv spot-set the potatoes out, one in a
place, just as they stand in the box,
being careful not to break off the
sprouts. Have the burrows at least
four inches deep, but do not cover the
potato more than one inch. If the
weather continues favorable the new
plant will be rooted and show it's
leaves in few days. If cold night
threatens to harm the sprouts as they
break through the surface, or the
leaves after they have grown to con-
siderable size, draw another inch of
earth over them to afford complete
protection. This may be repeated ev
cry week, if cold nights occur, till the
furrow is level with the surface. The
plants will now be well rooted, and if
not planted too early the vines will be
making vigorous growth just about
the time potatoes are usually planted.
1t is easy to hasten the crop at least
two weeks by this method, and there
is no check to the growth, as when
plants are lifted from a hOt-bed for
setting in the field.

The Country Boy.
Tn1rn HOrlleafRnd


The country lad who is trained to
simple ways and homely virtues, and
who learns what dollar is worth by
actually earning it under the laws of
imperative necessity, has tremendous
advantage over the town boy. The
country schools are far inferior to the
town or city schools, but this is cOun-
terbalanced by the fact that the country
boy is trained to work from the time
he can pick up corn cObs to run the
kitchen stove until he goes out to his
own home. The country boy has a
mile or so to walk to and from school,
which gives him vigorous appetite
and health. The country boy is face
to face with practical realities. He
sees how slowly money is made on the
farm he is taught from youth up the
need of economy he has the nature of
saving first explained to him every day
in the week he is not exposed to the
temptation of the saloon or the ball
room ; he is not tempted so much to be
a lady's man before he has occasion to
use a razor on his downy cheeks.
He may be trifle rude, he may not
feel easy in company, but in the long
contested race of life it is the chap
that trudges to school barefoOted in
summer and in storms in winter,
whose mother cuts his hair with the
sheep shears, that leads the chap that
goes to the city school, with the
starched shirt front and fancy slippers,
and whose head is shaved with the
lawn-mower in the barber shop. Such
has been our observation, and we
think we know what we are talking
about.
Speaking from experience, we new
er read books with such avidity as those
we devOured while the horses were
resting at the end of the plowed land.
The boys we envied forty years ago
because they wore cashmere and
laughed at our jeans have dropped SO
far back in the race that we have al
most forgotten them. The chaps who
had plenty of money at college and the
city bred fellows have not been as a
rule, heard from much since, while the
country boys who wore plain clothes
and kept close to their books in the
old college are leading the thought in
Iowa and other states today.

FOREST FIRES. - NEEDED LEG
ISLATION.

From paper read by Arthur Hill
before the Forestry convention at
Grand Rapids, Mich, we make some
extracts
The United States census shows that
of 267 forest fires reported in Michigan
for the year 1880, I6I originated from
clearing land, forty three from locomO-
tives, fifty-nine from hunters, three
from smokers and one from Indians.
These figures suggest the necessity for
laws which shall prevent one man in
burning over his land from injuring or
destroying the timber, crops or I'M
provements of another next, the ne
cessity of compelling railroad cOmpa-
MES to use the greatest precautions
against the setting of fires by lOcomo-
tives, and finally, the need of strin-
gent regulations against hunters OF
game and land explorers, Furnishing
them for wilfully or carelessly !setting
fire to the forests. The forests of the
state are vastly more important than
the wild game which they shelter and
sustain. Mr.. Hill suggests the follow
ing laws for the prevention of field and
forest fires:
l. A provision making the super
visor of each township fire warden of
his township, and defining his powers
and duties, and fixing a fair rate of
compensation.
2. A provision which shall provide
that every person who shall wilfully
or negligently set fire to any woods,
prairies or grounds not his own prop
erty, or wilfully or negligently permit
any fire to pass from his own woods or
grounds to the injury or destruction of
the property of another person, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanOr,
punishable with fine or Imprisonment
or both, the party injured to have
double damages for the injuries sus-
tanned.
3. A prohibition against the build
ing of fires by persons clearing land,
during the period from April l to Nov.
] in each year, without the consent of
the fire warden in writing, with pre-
vious notice to owners or occupants of
adjoining lands.
4. Provisions as to railroad cOmpa-
MES, requiring them to keep their right
of way clean of dead heritage and 9th
er combustible material, and COMPEL
ing any railroad company, upon the
WTIIIeu request vi any IRE WdFueH
through whose jurisdiction it's road
passes, in times of danger to burn coal
instead of wood for locomotive fuel,
and to employ a corps of men to be
known and to act as "fre patrol,
whose special duty it shall be to pre-
vent fires in and along the right OF
way, and to suppress fires originating
in the right of way, and compelling
the companies at all times to use ex-
treme diligence in preventing and sup
pressing fires kindled by the compa-
MES, their agents and employees.
To set fire to building in city
worth $500 would be deemed a crime
yet game and land hunters will often
kindle smudge or camp fire and care
lessly allow it to spread and destroy &
forest growth worth $4,000 without 6
pang of conscience, simply because
they have not been educated to a prop
er sense of responsibility for such acts
WellcOnsidered laws, strictly enforc-
ed, will prove the best educators il
this direction.

Rubber OvershOes.

An observing English traveller no
ticed that the manufacturers of the
United States exerted their utmost en-
deavors either to make the shoddiest
article that could be made or the most
excellent. Competition worked both
ways with them. The deterioration
of overshoes verifes the truth of the
observation. 1t is all but impossible
now to get overshoes that are worth
half the money that is paid for them.
They would do almost as much service
if they were made of strong paper.
They are made to crack open, to split
down from the margin of the opening,
and to let in water nearly as soon as
they are put into use. The rubber
overshoe is getting to be like the Jap
anese paper napkin-to be used once
and thrown away. But it still costs a
good price.-[Good Housekeeping.

The Much-Abused Onion.

Those who cannot eat onions, or are
too fancifully genteel to do so, lose one
of the most beneficial foods known. 1t
seems as if the onion tribe were de-
signed as regulators of the system,
they act so whOlesomely on every part
of it. For one thing alone, the women
of Provence and the south of Europe
are said to owe their fair grained skins
and supple ease of limb to their diet of
oil and onions, not to say garlic. One
would not be a social nuisance for the
sake of a healthy diet, but if parsley or
burnt coffee will not remove the odOr
from the breath spoonful of powder
ed charcoal will.

To Get Potatoes Early.
N X FnrlllPi

N. E. Farmer.
With potatoes scarce and dear, it
will pay to make little extra effort to
get portion of the new crop ready to
dig as early as possible. There may
be earlier varieties than the Rose, but
this is a standard, and one that will
yield eatable tubers considerably i'll
advance of the death of the vines.
Our method for getting the earliest
digging is to select the earliest variety
we happen to have or can procure.
Pick out the small sized tubers, which
are not too large to plant whole, and
bring them into moderately warm
and light room few weeks before the
ground will be ready to work. There
is no danger of giving them too much
light. We usually cover the bottom
of a very shallow box OF pan with a
single tier of potatoes, being careful to
place them all with the sprOut end up
permOst. Place the box as near a
south window as possible. In a few
days the skins will turn green and the
centre or leading bud begin to throw
up vigorous, dark-cOlOred sprout. Ii
the light is strong enough, and the
room not too cold nor too warm, the
sprOut may be nearly a half inch in
| diameter, and not more than an inch
long. The rudiments of roots may be
seen at the bottom and little green
leaflets at the top, the prevailing color
of the sprOut being reddish green.
When in this condition it is ready to
plant, but may be kept week or more
without harm.
When the ground can be made ready
manure or fertilize we'll in the drills
and, taking the box to the garden OF
field-having selected sheltered, sun

Frauds.

Don't answer advertisements unless
you wish to increase your stock of USE
full knowledge. A Springfield gentle
man, for curiosity, answered two adj
vertisements in New York paper.
One offered finely $40 ("C')
bill "as curiosity" for fifty cents, the
idea being that anyone dishonesty in
clined would send for it and expect to
get $3.50 on his investment. The 9TH
er notice read, "How to earn SIS per
week and upwards in your own town."
For this they wanted fifty cents. For
the first he received cOarsely-
ed cut of one side of silver certificate
for $40, printed on coarse newspaper,
and for the second half-dollar had a
small strip of paper on which was
printed "Get a job somewhere and
work like the ID. You can earn
the money and maybe you'll get it ]"
An almost incredible story comes
from Michigan. 1t is to the effect that
a wOOdchopper went out into pine
forest the other day and cut down a
hollow tree without finding a bear in
in it. The records show that nothing
of the sort ever happened before in
that state.-[Chicago News.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE.

The attorney general has instituted suit
against the capitol syndicate for $4,000
taxes claimed to be due on land held by
the syndicate under lass for over three
years. 1t will be remembered that the
capitol board, under Governor IreIsnd's
administration, turned over to the syndI-
cate the entire 100000 acres of land
under a lease conditioned that if the build
ing is completed within the time specified
in the contract no rental is to be paid.
The suit is brought under an
old law taxing property and land
leased from the state for a longer
period than three years, and the capitol
syndicate has had control of the capitol
reservation for over three years.
The suit is set for trial at Graham the
18th of next month, and the attorney
general is busy preparing the papers in
the case.
