A Crow That Calls Cows.

Sardis j. Bacon, who lives near Scranton,
has a pet crow. The other day, in the pres
enee of some friends, he told it to go and
call the cows. The crow flew to the fence
and sang out, eco, bosp several times in a
low tone. On the instant all the cows
pointed for the bars, and the crow, as soon
as he saw them moving all right, stopped
his noise and sailed along the lane to meet
them. One of the boys let down the bars
and the crow rode to the barnyard on the
back of his favorite COW.

HELD HIS WHEAT.

An eccentric old bachelor named
Frank Ebeling died the other day at
AtchinSon, Kan. He was original
ly brewer, but embarked in the
grain business long before Atchin-
son had an elevator. He had a
large warehouse and lived in his
office. Among his assets are 5000
bushels of wheat which he had in his
warehouse five years, refusing to
sell because the price never reached
his mark of value. "The care of
this wheat was his tondest occupa-
ton, and he constantly turned it
with a wooden shovel until the kerr
nails have become as glossy as the
surface OF a china nest egg"

HORSE SENSE.

so that when he pulls violently back
1t will restrain him effectually with
out hurting him, he will often not
pull second time but if we tie
him up with chain that cuts into
his neck he will generally pull at it
again and again and not unfrequent-
ly until he kills himself. If We fix
bundle of straw behind a kicking
horse, he will not kick long at it;
but if it cuts his legs at each kick
against the splinters of a carriage.
he viii probably kick as long as he
has leg left to kick with. If we
carefully take off young horses
bride, so that the bit comes out of
his mouth without hurting him, he
will soon quietly help to take 1t out
of his mouth but if by taking off
bride we awkwardly twist the bit
so as to seriously hurt his tongue or
jaws, he will for months or years
afterwaro pull violently on it when
ever he finds the slightest hitch
about it. The horse.has again and
again been put into the collar, and
finds no harm comes of it, gets at
last to suspect none, and takes it

GOOD ROADS.

The Dixie Farmer in an article.
after condemning the present in
efficient system of woodworking.
makes the following suggestions
The only relief that we can see is
in an entire change of the law regu-
lating the working of roads. In
stead of the present inefficient sys-
tenn ofrequiring so many days labor
that is SO badly performed-let a
special tax be levied for road pur-
poses. With this fund let each
parish purchase one or two good
road machines; road blow. and
some scrapers. Then let out the
contract to some capable man for
the year to ditch and grade the roads
in a proper manner--he giving bond
and security for an efficient and
faithful performance of duties. This
plan would doubtless cost much
more at first, but. by having high
road beds graded and thoroughly
drained, it would prove matter of
economy and saving of time in the
course OF two or three years. Be-
cause, when good, high and solid
road beds were once established, it
would require but little labor to
keep them in repair and in first
class condition; then travel would
be unobstructed throughout the en-
tire year; few wagons or other We
hicles would be broken down: and
full loads could be hauled TO and
from the marts Of trade. If a spec
ial tax should not be levied for said
purpose, instead of calling out so
many hands liable to road duty I'M
der the existing law, then, at least,
get the improved implements men
1loned.so that we may expedite work
and at the same time have the grad
ing and draining performed in a
substantial and permanent manner.
One road machine drawn by a good
team in the hands of man of good
judgment, will do more and better
work than twenty men under the
present system, Let US have a
change of some kind; because a
county without good, solid roads can
lot be prosperous and progressive.
The cold ruts'' will necessarily i'm
pede travel; the cold boys" stops
the wheels of commences" and
much of the fruits of honest toll will
be lost in the "mire" before reach
ing market.

Far better results would obtain
to the land owners, to their neigh
bors and to the county, if the ten
ant system were abandoned and
these tenanted lands sold into small
farms. On this point Commissioner
Nesbitt says
The hope Of the South, agricul-
turally speaking, is in smaller farms
and diversified crops. Is it not bet
ter to prepare and cultivate thor
oughly fifty acres than to scratch
over hundred? Does it not seem
folly to pay taxes on land that
brings bale to three acres, when
by little more forethought, little
more attention to details and the
same labor, we can get bale from
one acre? Let us then "edrce our
farms, cultivate only such lands and
crops as we lind profitable, encour-
age immigration, get rid of the ten
ant system as rapidly as possible,
and in its place substitute that of
small farms. This can be done by
selling to cnterprising tenants, on
easy terms, much of the land which
we cannot now cultivate successful
ly. In the bona fide land owners
VIC will have a class that will soon
feel and appreciate all the attach
ments which the word home awak-
ems in the human heart.

We advise our farmer
friends again to steer clear
OF debt in the arrangement
they are making to start a
crop. The farmers may not
be able to take this advice in
whole, b they can take it
in part. That is they need
not 90 into debtfarther than
absolutely necessary. Let ev-
cry man see to il, that when
his debts have been paid this
fall, he shall have some part
Of his crop left over to take
him and his family through
the winter. This advice is
common place, but it is i'm

NOT FALSE PROPHETS.

peculiar graveyard whistle.
He is now feeling his way in
the dark and whistling loudly
and shrilly to keep his cour-
age up He is taking the fiat
tering unction to his soul
that all is we'll with his un-
wise and wicked law for Mo
nopolys He tries to delude
himself with the belief that
the people are again chang
ing to higher taxes. He is e.
nough to declare that "the
people are beginning to find
out the false prophets who
talked about the tariff last
year" How false prophets"
The democrats declared that
the republicans sought to in
crease the burdens of taxa
tion. Is not this true? Mr..
Mckinley in his recent speech
es admits that the tariff bill
he reported and was adop-
ted increased the tax from 45
to 60 cts. That was wrong
as to the 45. The old tariff
was 47.10 per cent average.
Then the democrats said it
would make goods higher. Is
that true? Ask the dealers.
Nay, ask the buyers. Hard
ware, glass, woolens, carpets
and so on have all advanced
and some very much. Let the
higher tax continue for a year
or two until all the goods on
hand have been disposed OF
land prices will range even
higher yet. So the prophets
of evil were true and not false
prophets. The Republicans
may return to their rfalse gods
of protection and bow down
and worship again in the
temple of monopoly, but the
truth of what the democrats
declared and prophesied ir
advance remains true all the
same.
