Planting Cane.

The best way to plant wheat is with Q
wheat drill. Cane and wheat grains are
about the same size and ought to be
planted about the same depth and in
the same way. The theory seems
plausible. Practice confirms it. With
this theory before me took to using the
wheat drill, stopping all the drill holes
except the two which were the right
distance apart, to give the proper space
between rows. This used about ten
pounds Of cane to the acre, while two
pounds is enough. Hence, had my
cane too thick-just what / wanted. AS
soon as the sprouts peeped through the
earth narrowed with straight-tooth
harrow across the rows, filling up the
burrows left by the drill, thus giving q
greater depth of earth, which is what II
needs. repeated the narrowing in the
same way about once week until the
cane was sufficiently Trimmed by the
harrow. / then plowed very close to
the row, sinking long bull tongues far
beneath the roots. Each subsequent
blowing was further from the row.
laid 1t by with bar shares.
This method has the following ad-
vantages: /. The cane can be planted
with less labor. 2. 1t is quicker. 8. II
secures good stand. 4. 1t saves hand
thinning, hoeing and saves time. 5. II
secures larger yield than If planted in
hills. BY this method crop of cane
can be raised with less time, money and
labor than crop Of corn. have tried
it many years and know.-W. L. Ander-

Il Opens Either Way and IL Durable.
Easily Made and Convenient.
The illustration, sketch Of which Is
taken from the American Agriculturist,
is simple double gate frame, made to
open either way, and closed in the fol-
lowing manner: Midway between the
gates is short post firmly driven in the
ground or mortised into the ground sill,

small iron bolt with head and nut and
washers, and turn with some difficulty.
When the gate is to be opened either
way turn the ''button" vertical on the
side toward which the gate is to be
opened, and both gates are at once free
to open that way only.
Near the lower and outer corner OF
each gate is q continuance for keeping
the gate in position after it is opened,
which may be used to help keep 1t firm
when closed. 1t consists Of o small
piece Of timber as broad as the gate

thickness, through which is an auger'
hole; and in this is the cylindrical piece,
which should be pointed on its lower
end. 1t then passes through an auger-

pected of course in COWS that are kept

the particulars Of his complaints in re-

disastrous consequences. The cow is
always better free, except when the con-

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, JR the Raleig b
Standard, the organ of the Republican
party in North Carolina. In the same
year he was appointed Adjutant-General
of the State, and in 1872 became a
Presidential elector. Four years later
the party honored him again in SINH
lar way.
Arriving at Chicago in 1879 he began
the practice Of law, and was, the follow
ing year, elected in company with the
famous Long John Wentworth, Grant
delegate, to the Republican National
convention, from which the two men
mentioned, together with sixteen other
Illinois delegates Of the same faction,
were expelled. Since that time young
Douglas has devoted his political
talents to stump-speaking, but has not
vet succeeded in securing a reward for
his labors. OF personal appearance the
namesake Of the Little Giant has no
reason to be proud, unless he might
happen to run across an admirer OF
short stature and mass Of adipose
tissue. Vulgarly speaking, Stephen A.
Douglas, Jr., is fat, SO fat in fact that
his eyes have hard work to peep out
into the world. He has, however, q
great name and has inherited some Of
his fathers eloquence, so that what ma
ture has denied him Is more than bal
anced by what his ancestry has given
him.
The name OF Douglas will forever be
honored in Chicago, and, for that mat
ter, throughout the West. Still 1t is to
be regretted that the grand gift OF q
great man to the cause Of American edu-
cation is to be parceled out among real

THE REAL GENTLEMAN.
Wherein He Differs from the snOb and

Wherein He Differs from the snob and
the Parvenu.
To q sensible woman . gentleman
ought to be the equal Of any one that
wears q title, no matter what his rank
or what his nation. To be thorough
gentleman is to be that which neither
money nor estates nor insignia can buy.
It is peculiarly q birthright 1t Is in
herited in the blood and sure to make
its appearance, even under the most I'M
propitious conditions.
There is q sort Of false gentility that
is soon acquired and is affected by the
snobs and the parvenus that have sud-
denly acquired riches. But this is .
very cheap device in comparison with
the genuine article. No one can be de-
ceived by the counterfeit, because the
mark of real gentleman does not alone
consist Of entering drawing-roOm
gracefully or of making bow in the
proper form. These accomplishment
may be necessary in order to help one
to fix his position in polite society, but
they are really nothing compared to
those graces of mind, mannerand morals
that q true gentleman Is sare 70 possess.
A good definition Of real gentleman
is one that adheres closely to the spirit
Of the wise utterances Of the Saviour:
Therefore, all things whatsoever 70
would that men should do to you, do ye
even 30 to them" A strict following Of
this golden precept is infinitely better
for the individual and society than all
the finished bowiRes and scrapings
under the sun.-Baltimore Sun.

Some Reflections and Cancellations Upon
Modes OF Judging Swine Mt Fairs.


Some Reflections and Conclusions Upon
Modes Of Judging Swine Mt Fairs
A Hoosier correspondent Of the Breed
er's Gazette says: Some four or five years
ago the writer exhibited hogs at the
Kokomo, Ind, fair, at which some very
funny things happened. A Poland
China breeder then living in that city
was selected to make the awards, using
the score-card (which was new to the
writer). He walked into the ring, PEN
Gil in hand, and after some apparently
hard labor and considerable time sue
ceeded in getting hog scored up in the
nineties somewhere. After that he got
along more easily. He kept his first
card and always referred to it before
setting down q number on the next
card. The writer being Of an inquisitive
nature asked him why he referred to
his first card always before he put down
the next number. His answer was:
"Oh, that card is my base to score by"
The answer being entirely too salts
factory asked no more questions on the
subject at that time, but incidentally
remarked that the hog he was trying to
score would make very good base for
his operations.
The next day the superintendent
went back to the old pod-auger plan OF
three men to award the sweepstakes
prizes, all breeds being shown together.
The three men selected came walking
down the aisle, and among them ] recog-
nized a very tall, slender old man with
small black eyes, long, sharp nose, and
very thin, sharp features. The super
intendent called US up and pointed out
the committee and asked if all were
satisfied. I remarked that should
have to object to the old man for the
reason that had heard him say that he
would not give q Berkshire hog a
sweepstakes premium over a Poland
China under any circumstances, ''he
didn't care d-n how good the Berk'
shire was, or how 'ornery' the Poland
Chine was" My objection was con-
sidered a reasonable one and the old
man was excused and another selected
IN MS place.
All went we'll until they came to the
last class, where there were three pens
of five pigs, two Poland-Chinas and one
Berkshire. On these the committee
tied, each choosing pen for the prize.
Two other men were called and they
decided to divide the prize equally
among the three, as they could not tell
which was the best. Now came the old
man and said: ''rll tell you where that
premium ought to 60" "All right,
tell US, Uncle George" replied several
He. walked up to q pen and asked
'FNhose are these?" ''E. SIS" he was
answered. "Whose are these?" wv
MS" "And who owns these?" "G
j." "Thar's (using as many oaths al
could possibly be inserted into tina
amount of talls) whar the ribbon ought
to go!' Then I concluded that il the
egotism and prejudice were taken
out of that man the first gentle
breeze that waited by would blow
what was left into the far beyond,
where the worm dieth not and the
whangdoodle mourneth for cranks.

Especial Chicago Correspondence

Especial Chicago Correspondence]
The name and fame Of Stephen A.
Douglas are closely identified with the
growth and development of the State OF
illinois and the city of Chicago. The
Little Giant" who, born in 1918 in
Vermont, and early apprenticed to the
trade OF cabinet-making, was compelled
to educate himself, always had loving
sympathy with struggling young men;
and prompted by this feeling he was
easily persuaded to contribute portion
of his possessions toward the foundation
of university in Chicago. How he ao-
.cumulated his wealth is matter OF his
tory. Ill health compelling him to give
up the trade for which his parents had
intended him, he studied law in Canaan
edaigua, N. Y, and in 1888 came West,
settling at Jacksonville, Ill. His tai
,ents were quickly recognized and APP
preciated by the progressive people OF
Illinois, who made him Attorney-Gener-
al before he had reached the age OF
twenty-five.
In 1910 he was elected Secretary OF
State, and in 1S41 was appointed Judge
of the State Supreme Court. Two years
later he entered Congress, where he
soon became conspicuous for his views
on the Oregon boundary question, and
his eloquent advocacy OF the annexation
of Texas. In 1853 he became noted
throughout the world as the author OF
the bill for the organization of the Ter
ritories OF Kansas and Nebraska, which,
as is well known, brought about revo-
luton in the political parties OF the
United States and played most impor-
tant part in bringing the slavery ques-
ton to q crisis. In 1852 and again in
1856 he was an unsuccessful candidate
for tho Presidency, two blows from
which he never entirely recovered and
which probably led to his premature
death in 1861.

glory, and while being in the regular re-
