Cherokee Sentinel: A perfect town
is that in which you see the farmer
patronizing the home merchants, the
lab0rers spending the money they earn
with their own tradesmen, and all ami
mated by a spirit that will not pur-
chase articles abroad If they can be
bought at home. The spirit OF reci-
procity between man and the mechan-
ic, tradcsman and laborer, farmer and
manufacturer results every time in
making the town perfect one to do
business in. perfection" should al.
ways be desired, even where attain
ment is barely possible, we presume,
but a perfect town must be denOmin-
ated a great rarity until We reach
more advanced stage toward tho mil
lennium than has yet been gained.

We are indebted to County Com.
missioner McGregor for a few facts
and figures which are of interest tC
our readers.
The jury fees and mileage, for the re-
cent term of court amount to $1,4S7
The number of miles claimed is 800
In such matters the term just closed
was not much more expensive than
the April term of 1890, the excess
being only $62.
The Pound case cost the county $579.
Pound could have gotten divorce for
$50. The Hughes case cost the county
1878. The total cost of the term is
$1,000.
With regard to the tax-levy for
1891, the amount will be several thOus-
aud dollars less than for 1890.
A recent act of the legislature cuts
of the operation Of parties who here
tofore have done large business in
buying land at the tax sales in Sep
TENDER. Under the present law, the
delinq lands are held by the coun-
ty for three years, the owner being
charged 10 q per annum. At the end
Of that period, If not redeemed, they
are sold without recourse.

shiftisss Farming.

Secretary Mohler and Chancellor
Snow, after an investigation Of the
wheat area of Russell county, Kansas
report that the new insect which ID
found in some of the fields Is not the
cause of the sickly condition OF the
plant, but II 10 due to careless farming,
says the Kansas City Star. 1t was
found that on ground that had been
properly prepared the crop 10 vigorous
and shows no sign OF decay. In many
instances the farmers simply drill the
seed on stubble ground without plow-
ing, and in all such cases the plant Is
sickly and is turning yellow.
=. The little green bug, which was sup
posed to be the author of the mischief,
was found only in those fields which
were not titled before putting in the
seed, though II does not seem to be at
lacking the plant. The snow and the
rain which benefited the wheat on
soil which was properly cultivated
gathered in pools on the ground which
was not plowed and rotted the roots OF
the grain. The conclusion is that the
bad condition of the wheat fields in
Russell county is due to the shiftless
farming and tho senseless ambition to
cover a big acreage Of ground without
the labor required to insure the sue
cess of the crop.
There has always been good deal
of that kind Of farming in Kansas,
though happily II is on the wane. The
soil Is 30 fruitful in that state aud its
cultivation involves so little labor that
many farmers have drifted into care
less way of relying upon the prodigal-
ity of nature and letting their crops
shift for themselves. If the pains were
expended upon agriculture in Kansas
which is necessary in sections where
the natural conditions are less favora-
BILE, the result would be IN the nature
of a revolution. No degree Of fertility
and no climate advantages, however,
will absolve the farmer from the ne
cessity of proper cultivation of the
soil and careful attention to the many
vital details which must DO observed
to render the pursuit of agriculture
The farmers of Kansas
are gradually awaking TO all under.

Of prosperity is resulting from its &C.

policy. This is proved by thousands
Of men in that state who have paid for
their lands, aud grown rich in the pur.
suit Of agriculture.
The report of Secretary Mohler and

A Shocking Death.

George R. Woods, of Union Square,
Oswego County, n. Y, met with
frightful accident at the county fair
grounds on the End, which resulted in
his instant death. One of the attrac-
tons was a balloon ascension and par
achute Jump by ]. j. Frisbie. Woods
was one of number of volunteers en-
gagged in holding the big gas bag on the
ground while it was being inflated with
hot air. When everything was in
readiness and Prof. Frisbie was
getting his parachute ready, smoke
was seen issuing from the
balloon. The cry was started that the
balloon was burning, and thevolunteers
all let 90 except Woods. In an instant
he was whirling in the air, and the hor-
rifed spectators saw that he was en-
tangled in the ropes. When about %
feet from the earth he partly disengaged
himself and let go. The ropes, howev-
err, were around his legs, and he was
soon shooting rapidly upward feet first.
He kicked furiously for minute or two
and then his body shot downward, head
first. When he was picked up he was
dead About 10000 persons were on
the grounds and witnessed the acct
dent. Woods was % years old. He fell

that two-thirds of this fine

RAISED THE EMBARGO.
American Pork Will Now be Admitted
Into Germany.

Into G6rmanys
WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 3.-Secre-
tary Rusk o-day received official notice
that the German government has raised
the embargo on American pork. The
agreement relative to the admission of
pork into Germany was signed at Cape
May Point about ten days ago, but at
the request of the German government
the fact was withheld from the public
press until official action could be taken
by the home government. The agree
ment not only provides for the
Abundance of our pork into Germany,
but also affords to the United States the
same schedule with reference to our
farm products us that enjoyed by Rus
STA. Secretary Rusk is confident that
he will soon be able to extend our mar
ket for corn by introducing it into Ger
MANY for use as an article of food in the
place of rye, the crop Of which is in
Germany this year exceedingly short.
To this end he has instructed his corn
agent, Col. G. j. Murphy, now in Eu--
rope, to proceed at once to Berlin and
lay the matter before the German gov
eminent.
BERLIN, Sept. 3.-The Reichsgesetz-
batt publishes an order to the effect
that the prohibition OF the importation
of swine, pork and sausages of Amerl-
can origin shall no longer be enforced
when such live pigs or hog products are
furnished with official certificates stat
ing that they have been examined in
accordance with American regulations
and found free from qualities dangerous
to health. The chancellor has sent in
structions to the proper officials that
the order be given immediate effect.
