RALEIGH, N. O., March Z, 1892,
It is very much desired to show at
Chicago specimens of u generals,
| grasses, etc, in the straw. Every
farmer who has a fine field of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, millet, or grasses OF
any unmixed variety, should take a
| pride in curing it properly for eXhlOI'
ton purposes. We will want only the
best, and will need a gOOdly quantity.
When it is remembered that this dis
| play is to go into competition with the
| whole world, the Importance OF careful
handling will become apparent to all.
We know that this State cannot suffer
in a comparison OF her cereals with
any country, as we produce as good as
can be found; not only so, u In some
instances better than can be found any
where.
HOW TO PREPARE EXHIBITS OF GRAIN IN
THE STRAW.
It is very important that the grains,
! grasses, millets, etc, intended for eX-
hibitiOn should be properly cured and
protected from the discOlOratiOn Incl
dent to the usual methods of harvest
ing. In order to preserve the straw at
it's best in length and color, it should be
carefully cut near the ground by hand
in advance of the general harvest, and
| at a time whom the straw has attained
it's full growth and the grain just
hardening from the "milky" state.
| The straw should be carefully tied at
several points along the sheaf, to keep
il straight after it has been dried. Let
it cure i'll the shade, so as to insure
bright straw. Then wrap each sheaf
separate in strong paper and pac for
shipment, with the wrappers on. This
treatment applies to wheat, oats, rye,
barley and rice.
For the millets and hay grasses it is
important that they be dug so that the
roots are preserved entire. Wash out
the earth from the roots, being careful
not to injure the grass. Then the grass
should be placed straight in thin layers
between several thicknesses Of absorb
ton paper-old newspapers will an
swer. These dryers should be changed
several times the first few days, to
avoid moulding. In this way the color
can be we'll preserved. Gather the
grass just before it is ripe. Tie the
specimens into sheaves of small size,
wrap in paper, box and forward to the
undersigned as soon as dried, as it will
be necessary to use poison to keep off
insects.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD
ACCOMPANY EACH SPECIMEN:
4. Name Of object.
B, Name Of producer.
&. Place where grown.
d. Character of soil.
e. Date of planting.
F. Quantity of seed planted per acre.
q. Method of cultivation.
H. Date of harvesting.
I. Yield per acre.
These questions, or as many of them
as may be answered, will secure full
credit to the producer. Freight or TX
press charges will be paid by the under
signed, to whom all shipments should
be made.
Cannot you undertake to furnish
some of these specimensG If 50, write
to me at once, and Oblige,
Very respectfully,

what he believes and has proved MS
faith by practicIng it.
And so, kummoning all bis courage
rallying together his energies and maoe
tuovant with faith in the maxim that a
pound of pluck is worth ton OF luck,
Young Stevenson faced the winds OF al
/ yersity and forged ahead to battle ior
personal fame and the happiness OF MS
| mother.
The Young man met with that high
measure Of success which he well mer-
tied. and the rest of the story to be tolo
about his career as lawyer is story Oh
/ triumph.
The chief points in it are that before
| long he left Metamora for the more iu-
crative field Of Bloomington, he was
appointed Master in Chancery, posi-
tion which in Illinois at that time IN
volved chiefly the hearing of references
in equity causes. For four years he heia
the Office.
Then he became State Prosecuting
Attorney for the old Twenty-third DIS
trjct. That was in 1864 This office he
also held for four years. During his IN
cumbency he conducted many murder
cases. Ia this State jury In caplIal
case was vested at that time with the
discretion OF deciding whether a prison.
er convicted of murder should be hang
ed or sentenced to prison for life. Inc
Prosecuting ATTORNEY secured the cen
viction of several murderers. Inc leh'-
ency OF the juries favored the culprltS'
aud they were sent to prison TO stay
there until natural death should take
them before higher judge.
Whether any of these villains are In
Joliet jail Mr.. Stevenson did not know.
But he does know, and so do other cltl-
zets of Illinois, that in his four years he
obtained sufficient verdictS against
criminals to contribute very largely 10
the population OF the penal institutions
of the State and to warrant the build
ing up for him Of a splendid reputation
as an agent OF justice.
NOT AN ATTORNEY FOR CORPORATIONS.
In 1865 Mr.. Stevenson returned to
private practice. he formed a partner
ship with his cOpsin, James Stevenson
Ewing, and until this day that partner
ship has been maintained. Their prac-
tice has been general. They have
never been attorneys for corporation,
but have rather appeared against cor
porations.
A noted case in which Mr.. Stevenson
figured was that in which he secured
$50, 900 for man for the loss OF SER
vices through injuries done to his body.
Mr.. Stevenson is still a prominent
lawyer, aud in connection with his part
ner, Mr. Ewing, enjoys the profits COM
ing from the practice OF law before the
courts of Illinois and the tribunal OF
the federal jurisdiction in the State.
Besides being a well-read lawyer,
Gen. Stevenson has found time TO IN
crease his acquaintance with the best
authors in the province Of English Ut
erature. His favorite author is Shakes
peare. or the lesser spirits he enjoys
chiefly Burns, Dickens and Butter.
Quotations from the works OF these and
others frequently adorn his speeches.

change and architects. The substance Of
the resolutions are that Some have the
impression that a bad feeling exists

hurt at the trea.mant they have received

body we have no animosity. Tickets have
been issued to all city architects inviting
them to use our rooms for the purpose OF
exhibiting their plans, or for social OF
business intercourse. We will pledge our
support to those who do so much TO
bes nifty and adorn our homes
