A member of the Administration says
that it is fact that the civil service rules
are to extend to fully fifteen hundred
employees of the Census Bureau. The
victory of the Civil Service Commission
is the more marked this gentleman says,
because they carried their point on ap'
peal to the President, with whom they
had conference prolonged well into the
evening. This large proportion of the
census takers will include all the lead
ing officers, and the new regulations will
take effect at once. 1t is said that Civil
Service Commissioners found the Presi'
dents views fully conceded with their
own. when they had fully laid the
case before him. Some time ago an ad
verse ruling of this point was rendered
by the Assistant Attorney General for
the Interior Department. the case being
laid before him by Mr.. Porter, the Cen
sus Commissioner, whose own opinion
had already been expressed unqualified
" that the bureau was outside the opera
ton of such rules, he maintaining that
the period of service was short, that ap.
pointees could not be properly ranked
with the employees of the permanent de-
partment President Harrison's ruling
in the matter is a new departure in the
history of the civil service in this
country.

The material progress of the South is
illustrated by nothing better than by
the immense strides recently made by
the iron Industry the Birmingham dis
trict in Alabama. This district, which
covers an area nearly sixty miles long
from northeast to southwest and about
twenty-five miles from northwest to
southeast, is now sending iron into Ohio,
Missouri, New York and Pennsylvania.
Companies own their own coal fields,
coke ovens and ore beds, coal and iron
being everywhere found close to each
other, and they can lay down ton of
iron in New York or Philadelphia for
$122l. The manufacturer thus gets,
taking the present cost of pig iron at
SIS. a profit of more than thirty per cent
on the cost of manufacture. This will

ham district will this year produce a
million tons of pig iron, or one-fifteenth
part of the annual production ofthe whole
country, One company alone had an
output last year of 225, 900 tons, the great
er part of which was sent to the North

also no less than 81 800 tons sent to the
Eastern states. What will this production

ment a few weeks since of the sale oil
these mills, Mr.. John s. Holden of Pal

in correspondence with the Hon. John

to purchase this property led to hopes
on our part, and when Mr.. q, S. Leon

associated with him, this has grown al
most to a certainty. Both these gentle

The fact that Vermont soil is natural
ty adapted to growing wheat has nearly
been lost sight of, but the close observ-
ing have become aware that more wheat
can be raised on an acre OF Vermont soil
than on the same surface in any other
State. OF late our farmers seem to be
trying to get their land into better con &.
dlIioD, and this very commendable prac-
tice has brought out the almost lost art
of successful wheat raising. The fact
that wheat was so extensively grown by
our grandfathersa and great-grandfathers
that it was for many years used az legal
tender, notes often reading "to be
paid in wheat Is conclusive evidence
that our soil was naturally adapted to
wheat growing. All the soil needs now
to give an abundant yield of the choicest
article of brcadstuff is to make it what
it was in a natural state. Soil that has
borne crops for hundred years must be
somewhat worn. This is the case with
our wheat fields. The writer LENDERS
hearing one of the old settlers in the
town of New Haven, Addison County,
tell of u wheat field he saw there when
a young man that was 20 stout that a
hen would alight on it, and not settle
out Of sight, and he threw his hat Ia
heavy felt haD on to the wheat, and it
made not the least impression; when il
was cut and thrashed, il yielded 70
bushels of nice wheat per acre for the
whole four acres" The man who told
this story was Russell Harris, a man well
known and remembered in Addison
County as man of truth and upright
ness. He often used to say LAND needs
lime to insure crop of wheat. When
the supply OF lime in the soil is exhaust.
ed the wheat will be smutty, and much
less OF it, and not near IS good in quail
ty. There is little danger of too much
lime. From 80 to IS bushels tc the acre
will do" He wa man Of sound judg.
ment on all points of interest to the
farmer, and let me say TO those who are
raising their breadstuffs, try to get your
soil into the best condition by the use of
fertilizers and apply generous amount
of lime and be assured you will reap a
rich harvest.-E. c. A. in Free Press.

iority that leaves no room for doubt OF

in emphasis or directness. The advo-
Gates of the prohibition amendment have
fought the hardest fight OF Its kind on

ance of money, importing the ablest
