Editor w. A. Bell of the School Journal at
Indianapolis has given opinion to the
possibilities, probabilities and uncertainties of
the new school book law. The article upon its
face is rotten TO the core and is insult to the
people of Indiana. Mr.. Bell is evidently a
friend of the school book monopolists, and his
arguments in their favor are not only mean,
but really silly

THE rural republican press, taking the
cue from the Journal, is devoting much
space TO rejoicings over Boodler CARPEN-
TER's triumphant vindication" in Judge
WooDs alleged court. These meDdacious
organs are telling their readers that there
was no evidence whatever against CARPEN-
TER. his innocence being so clearly estab-
lished that the jury acquitted him with
out leaving the box. Perhaps the be-
nighted partisan editors OF these sheets are
not so much at fault, In view of the state
ments made bv the Journal and the Com
merci0t Gazette, to which latter sheet that
picturesque liar, CIV. II. S, telegraphed
that THE SENTINEL conceded CARPENTERS
innocence. Yet their deliverances seem
very absurd in view of the fact that the
proof of CARPENTERS moral guilt was alb
solutely overwhelming that CARPENTER
confessed to the practice of bribery in the
late campaign, and that he was acquitted
on the sole ground that although he had
bought votes for himself, he had bought
none for a congressional candidate, and
was therefore not amenable to the fed
eral law. These are the facts, and they
are enough to damn s. ]. CARPENTER and
the newspapers which defend him in
the estimation of every honest man of
whatever party.

SECY. JOHNSON, of the state board of

as satisfactory as could be expected under

fifty years behind the times, but Warden
MURDOCH and his assistants are not re-
sponsible for that. Their management of
the prison is humane and efficient, and
the results obtained are all that can be
hoped for until our penal system is thor

CONTEST FOR A MEDAL.
Eight Children to Compete for the
Prize.

The Medal Contest Bureau, No II
East Is ST., New York, announce that
through w. Jennings Demorest, who
furnishes the medals, free of expense
and suitably inscribed, arrangements
have been made for series Of elocution-
airy contests in which young persons OF
either sex, under twenty-one years OF
age, are invited to recite before an audi
ence in some school room, church parlor,
lecture room or hall.
Judges are to be chosen to decide upon
the merits of the speaking of the differ
ent contestants for the prize.
Mrs. J. w. Carson is in receipt of a
silver medal from the Demorest Medal
Contest Bureau. A class of eight chill
dren is now in training for an elocution-
airy contest which is to come off at Opera
Hall Friday evening, August 80. This
beautiful medal will be awarded by the
judges to the one of the eight who does
the best speaking.
In localities where these contests are
persevered in, the winners of silver med
ais may also compete later on for gold
and diamond medals.
1t is to be hoped that our people will
encourage these Evolutionary contests.
They are intended for the education
of youth in the principles of temperance
and prohibition of the liquor traffic.

Successful Forest Cultufe.

The following truths constitute the

ture. They should never be forgotten

ned out, but never cleared off, unless it is
to be used for another purpose. We are
no longer obliged to destroy a hive OF
colony of bees in order to get the honey
so we need not destroy our wood lot in
order to get timber.
2. A valuable tree may be started just
as easily, and will grow as rapidly and
thrifty as a worthless one. We can't
afford to grow poor or Indifferent timber,
for which little or nothing can be realized
when that which will yield good profit
can be grown just as cheaply. White ash
has more than doubled in value within
the past five years, and will bring double
what it now does within the next few
years. Locust and other varieties are also
increasing in value. Five or six acres Of
really good timber, located near any thriv-
ing town or city, will pay for good farm.
8. AS a general rule, it is better to
have several good varieties of trees grow
ing on the same ground. Certain varie-
ties, like the locust, often fall a prey to in
sects or enemies, but where you have a
mixture failure is almost impossible. A
mixed forest is natures rule, and it is
safe one to follow. If number of varie-
ties are planted and all do well, those that
are the least promising should be the
first cut out and sold, giving room for
the Others that are likely to prove of
greater value.
4. A crop of timber trees should receive
the same intelligent care that is bestowed
upon other crops. Like other crops it
will amply reward such labor. Much of
the needed work can be done when the
time is not demanded elsewhere. The
lack of winter employment on many farms
could thus be supplied, and help be prof
itably used during the winter months.
do not say that every farm should have
its wood lot, but do say that on many
farms well-managed wood lot would be
a source of satisfaction and profit.

,, The Kansas State Fair Lets Down
Its Bars to the Universe.

The eyes of the whole nation are now
turned toward Kansas. owing to the
superiority of her prospects for grand
crops, and it is to the interest OF every
Kansan to make the state fair this year
the greatest advertisement ever sent out
from the "Sunhower" state. The State
Fair Association offers for county displays
OF farm products four premiums, $500,
$50, 500 and $50, respectively, and
every county in the state should make an
ext ibit, not merely to compete for these
prizes, but to have their localitysrepre-
sented. 1t will be an advertisement for
the seve raj counties and aid in advertis-
ing Kansas to the hosts of visitors from
abroad who will be here. This is the
year of all years to show the world that
Kansas is still in the lead.
For the display of farm produce by An
individual (the material may be gathered
up all over the county, three premiums
are offered, as follows: $75, $50 and S25,
This should be an incentive to the farmer
to prepare a good collection from his
county fair, and bring or send it to
Topeka.
The dairy men will be in clover this
year. In addition to the liberal premi
ums offered by the fair association. the
following specials are added: The Ameri-
can Short Horn Breeders Association
offer $3.50 as premium for the Short
Horn class for the production of milk
and butter. The Holstien-F riesian Asso-
citation offer two special premiums aggre-
eating $500, and gold medals valued at
$780, The Hereford Cattle Breeders
Association offer special prizes, aggre-
eating $175, for the best display in that
class.
The premiums are all liberal, and many
additions have been made to the old
list. The list for 1889 may be had free,
upon application to the secretary, E. G..
Moon, Topeka. Every one interested in
Kansas and successful state fair should
send for copy. The novelties and spe-
cial attractions will be numerous and of
the best character, and will be announced

Tree Borers.
La Crosse Chieftain.

W. G. F. Wellman has handed M /.
formula sent him by Hon. G. II. I.ehol5
to be used in treating the trees in M IT,
bold's addition to this city. We regret
that we are unable to publish the Whole
article, as it is worthy of the careful stndv
of every one who is anxious to have
thrifty trees. However, we give below tbe
main points In treating with that pest TO
Kansas vegetation, the .'tree borer"
LIST. This very destructive insect makes
its first appearance in the beetle form the
latter end Of May, and they are very
numerous during the month of June. K
few will be seen as late as August.
I'd. They commence laying eggs during
June and July, depositing them under
the scales of the bark, wounded portions
made by bruises and sunscald, preferrinp
the southwest side of the tree.
Sd. They infest only such trees as are
debilitated. Late transplanting, pro-
tracted drouths, unproductive soil, neglect
in care and cultivation, produce a low
condition sought by. the mother of this
species as best adapted to the wants of
her young.
4th. The larvae cannot survive Wig
orous flow Of sap, nor can they endure a
continual shade; in the first condition it
browns, and in the second it weakens and
dies.
9th. A wash made of soft soap reduced
to the consistency of cream by the addi-
ton Of a solution of sal soda, applied with
an old brush, to the trunk and base of
the principal limbs twice during the
month of June and twice during July.
9th. Formula: 20 lbs. sifted wood
ashes, 2 lbs. soft soap, a Id sal. soda, 4
gallons of water.
18th. The best remedy is to keep your
trees vigorous, encourage a healthy
growth, shade the southwest side of the
trunk. It is the rays of the sun between
the hours of one and three, which pro-
duces sun-scald.
All wounds caused by the borer should
be carefully scraped clean, then wash with
carbolic acid; mix equal parts of stiff clay
and COW droppings. fill up the wound with
this and bind up with strips Of old calico.
