Winter Rye.

The last annual report of the United
States Department OF Agriculture has
this to say OF it: 1T has an insignif-
cant area and does not increase in pro-
portion to population. It is used
mainly by people of German descent,
and to limited extent in the Eastern
States in combination with maize. It
is scarcely grown in the South, and
but little in the West and on the Pacific
coast. In the South it is grown for
winter pasture. F" The prejudice against
rye arises mainly from the fact that II
grown on the same farm with wheat.
and it is threshed and stored in the
same barn. the grains will get mixed
in spite OF the greatest caution, and
can not afterwards be thoroughly sep
arated with the best winnowing ma
chine. and thus impairs the samples OF
wheat when offered for sale; and more
than this, however near these sam
pies OF wheat may come up to the
standard Of good seed, they can not
be used in this way, for the adultera-
ton ofthe rye will be largely increased
the next crop.
There is way, we think, in which
rye can be made useful on every farm.

HERE AND THERE.

Never mind about telling that you
have better stock than your neighbor.
The stock viii tell that better than you
can, if it is fact.
When you sleep too little you are
using yourself, as man does pigca
of machinery which he persists in run
ming without greasing.
-Stock-raising and grass-growing
are joint occupations. A higher price
can be obtained for hay by converting
it into beef, while the manure remains
behind to add to the fertility OF ths
soil.
Some people want National Aow-
er adopted. The way some men seem
to encourage the growth of weeds,
they would unquestionably name tbs
flower of some weed in a fence corner.
There will be no crop Of onions Il
the ground is not rich and well pre-
pared. After the beds begin to start
they viii not thrive if grass or weeds
grow among them. They must be
clear of all obstacles.
IF any animal deserves, as a re-
ward for service TO man, and as com
pensation for days, weeks and years Of
abuse; if any animal deserves a trans
quill future, a glorious pasturage traF-
ersed by neVer-failing crystal streams
of water, surely that animal must Be
the horse.
1t costs no more, says the Mary
land Farmer, TO raise and harvest 300
bushels Of Swedish tlrnips than it does
for 100 bushels of potatoes, and there
is more fun in it Only learn how,
and do away with the feeling that Il Is
gardening" and requires skill, and
thon go ahead.
1t requires patience to take care
of flock of sheep To turn them out
on the bare fields to shift for them
selves will not render them profitable.
The flock master should be as atten-
tive to his Aocks of sheep as their
care demands, and when this is done
they will amply repay all the outlay
bestowed upon them.
Government figures on the sheep
industry of the United States show
decrease in number during 1888 of four
and one-half per cent.-the decrease
being largely in the old sheep-gros-
ing States-varying from one per cent
in Ohio and New York to thirteen per
cent in Wisconsin. The Southern
States gained largely.
Not long ago the Department q
Agriculture made an estimate Of the
total livestock productions Of the
world. On the swine the estimate
was 100, O0o, 600. over one-half ofwhich
are in North America, mostly In tne
United States. Other countries OUT
rank North America in cattle, horses
and sheep, but in swine we Iced ne

able that the habitation of his personal life

THE decision of the United States Dis
trict Court Of Utah refusing to admit alien
Mormons to the privileges of naturaliza-
ton, is one of the most important judicial
determinations of recent times. The
ground upon which the Court bases its ac-
ton is that the Mormon Church is hostile
to the Government of the United States,
teaches resistances to the laws and hatred
to the institutions of freedom, opposes the
enforcement of the laws and advises re-
sistance to them, and even counsels muir
der in such resistance. The Mormon who
believes in the doctrines of the church and
recognizes its authority as superior to the
law, is not, therefore, of that good moral
character, does not show that attachment
to the Constitution and the laws, and is
not of that peaceable and orderly habit
that Judge is required to find in an ap-
plicant before he can admit him to citi-
zenship. The Court reviews at length the
testimony introduced, to show that the
Mormon oaths bind the devotee to hostil-
ity to the Government, the laws and the
officers of the law. 1t is to be regretted
that the Court used the term "treason" in
his decision, or Unreasonable" The Nor
mons have not committed treason we have
no such crime in time OF peace political
offense is unknown to our system-every
offender is an ordinary criminal and
amenable to the laws as such-for the
use of the term is likely to lead to some
misapprehension. Every Court that finds
an applicant fit to be admitted to citizen
ship must find that he understands the
Constitution and the principles of our
Government, is attached to them, Is of
good moral character has not been engaged
IN resistance to the laws and has not been
convicted of felony. Under this finding,
the Mormon who puts the command of
the Church before his duty as the citizen,
ought to be refused admission to citizen
ship. The effect of this decision will be to
encourage Courts to greater strictness in
the admission of aliens to citizenship.
There are others besides Mormons who
hold to an allegiance superior to the laws
in their estimation, if we are to Judge
from the revelations of certain secret or
CARNATIONS recently made. The Mormon
ic NOT tho only ono uho appliac for invocf-
ment with the privileges of the American
citizen, who, if the truth could be known,
neither understands nor is attached to the
principles of republican form of govern
ment, and who does not respect the laws of
the land or mean to abide by them. We
need not only to put up some stronger bars
against the incoming of antagonistic, nom
assimilative and ignorant elements, but
such as we have should not be admitted to
citizenship.

TACOMA (Wash.), December 1st.-The
tides on Puget Sound. though very high at
this season of the year, have at this time
reached an extraordinary rise. The tide
flats in front of the city, occupied by mills,
lumber and ship yards and the Northern
Pacific Railroad tracks are flooded for
miles beyond the usual extent of the water
and great damage is threatened.
The mills are surrounded with water,
and men are constantly on watch to pre-
vent lumber from being carried away. The
manufacturers are alarmed at the fact that
the highest tides are yet to rise and at the
possibility of a sudden influx of water in
case of a severe storm on the Pacific
Ocean.
The unusual high water has foated from
the shores a vast quantity of logs and Drift
wood, so that the sound is thickly covered
with them and presents a formidable ob-
stacle to safe navigation. Pilots are
