Congressman Morgan, of Missis-
sippi, has caused himself to be Sc
verely censured, in Washington by
his political cowardice in seeking
reelection. In order to get in with
the Alliance he recently went home
and applied to the Chancery Court
to annul his license as a lawyer in
order that he may be eligible to
join the alliance. The court grant
ed his request, expelling him from
the bar, and he joined the alliance,
but his action has been made pub
lie and an honest allianceman will
defeat him. Congress Morgan says
that the above is untrue.

The most modern Bluebeard is a
farmer near Bristol, Del. He en-
ployed Katie Naman as a domestic
and warned her against peering into
a certain closet. OF course that
meant that Katie peered, and she
saw the dead body of man lying on
the closet floor, and the circum-
stances attending indicated that the
body was in an advanced stage of
decomposition. Katie fed. These
heroines always flee, and in this in
stance she notified the authorities,
who made a raid on the Bristol
farm. After considerable circumlo-
cutlon-an easy term tor prevarica-
ton they got into the house and
demanded entrance to the closet.
This was granted after a time. and
as the door opened the odors ema-
mated almost overcame the officers.
They persisted in their duty, how
ever, and found-not the corpse
which Katie's Imagination had pro-
duced, but scarecrow, which had
done good service while the corn
was young and tender.

FRUIT CULTURE.
This Is Short Article, But Well Worth
Reading.

There is charm about fruit culture,
says the Western Rural. People go to
California and pay Hundreds of dollars
an acre for fruit lands. They 90 to
Washington and pay two hundred dol
lars an acre for land that would not sell
for more than forty dollars per acre at
the outside for other purposes. And yet
none of us need be told that fruit cult
ure does not always pay. Still it is per-
haps true that years together, if proper
ly managed, it will pay well. AS is
frequently remarked, one great obstacle
to successful fruit growing is found in
the increasing insect enemies. But they
are an enemy that increased knowledge
and persistence will enable us to con-
quer. The necessary knowledge to do
this is being rapidly spread. Our exper-
iment stations are giving constant at
tention to finding the best means of
fighting insects, and they are doing a
grand work in that direction.
When the kerosene emulsion was rec
commended very excellent insecticide
was found; and now the arseniteS have
been tried and found to be about pcrfec-
ton as insecticides. We can get the
best of the insects if we try.
1t will not do to attempt to grow fruit
without the necessary knowledge to do
it. People in the city often go into the
country and try it. They imagine that
all there is to do is to plant a tree, and
lo the fruit will come. They are disap-
pointed, as every one with knowledge of
fruit growing expects they will be. But
unfortunately lack of knowledge is
not confined to the amateur fruit grow
err. A good many people who were born
on farm and have lived on farm all
their lives seem not yet to have learned
that if crop of fruit is to be grown,
the plants that grow it, or the trees that
grow it, must have attention as well as
other CROPS.

BARLEY AS A FARM CROP.

A Western Farmer Gives His Experience
with 1t.
This cereal has been extensively cul-
tigated from remote antiquity in Eu-
rope and Asia, and in fact its range of
cultivation is wider than that of any
other grain, as it will flourish in both
hot and cold climates. 1t is also grown
over large areas of the United States
and quite extensively, too, as the annual
yield amounts to about 1000 900 bush
els. OF course a large per cent. of the
barley grown is used for distilling pur-
poses, but it is not in this connection
that | wish to refer to it as farm crop.
Many farmers have conscientious scru-
pies in regard to growing barley; but
they should not let these scruples over
balance their better Judgment and him
der them from growing a crop that can
be very profitably disposed of to good
advantage ON the farm. Comparatively
few farmers understand fully the value
Of barley as feed, especially for hogs
