1t is simple enough to say that the best
seed possible should be used for the corn
crop, but this includes more than we
realize until we have experimental few
years. says A. B. Barrett in American
CultivatOr. AS to variety, we must first
decide on seeds. We have many sorts of
corn scattered over the whole country
from one end to the other, and every
farmer knows that no one variety will do
for all sections. The Golden Beauty,
Pride of the North, Mammoth Chester
and many others have their advocates,
but in listening to their praises we must
take into consideration the soil and eli
mate where they are grown successfully.
The early varieties of corn do not gem
orally do as well in any sections as the
late varieties, and variety that is early
for one locality may not be for another.
The most prolific corn crops are obtained
from fields sown with varieties that take
up nearly the whole growing season to
mature This is a rule that one can fol-
low with pretty fair safety. But, on the
other hand, there are places where in
tense summer droughts occur, and nearly
the whole corn crop is checked in it's
growth by it, A variety of corn should
be selected for such a place that would
be out of blossom before the dry spell ar
rived. Sometimes a very late variety
Will Ulue over Une nedNy uFOuguJ1 anu
come in blossom and maturity afterward
late in the autumn.
The variety must also be considered
from the standpoint of general average
production per acre We must select
those that give a heavy yield to the acre
when shelled, and grains that are firm and
heavy Soft corn is not as good as the
hint-grain kind, and though the former
may yield more to the acre, it will not be
so valuable There are also varieties of
corn that have firm, heavy grains, and a
very heavy yield when on the cob but
when it is shelled the amount is COMPARE
lively small Corn that is all cob is not
desired for any cornfeld.
After the right variety for our field is
selected, and this is often only the result
of several years experience, we must fol-
low the same progressive methods year
by year in selecting the best ears for seed.
Many still believe in gathering their
seeds from the general field, going through
the rows and gathering the largest and
finest ears. If one stops to calculate up
the cost he will find that it is
no more expensive to have sepa-
rate plat of ground for raising seed

CRIME AND IDLENEss.
A Republican Newspaper on the
Question Of Lynchinrs.
Fr0m The PIttsburg Dispatch.


From the P.ttsburg Dispatch.
II would hardly bc correct to say that
Ilnchlng is once more epidemic That
peculiar American method Of furnishing
criminals seems 20 ba always rife through
out the land There must be a reason for
the awful social conditions that admit of
lnlS general and long continued perversion
OF existing laws. 1t is not tho purpose TO
discuss that phase Of the matter here.
out brief resume of criminal statistics of
the south, that section i'm which mob law
Is most prevalent and "a comparison with
those OF the whole country ought to be
timely.
1t is the general opinion in the north
mat the colOred man of the south is a very
much sinned against individual The
last census does not Dear out this opinion.
during the ten years ending with 1890
S,6l1 murders took place in the south. p
| 81 OF which were committed by negroes
| Considering the fact that the whites
greatly outnumber the blacks this
seems to be a very bad showing
on the part of our oppressed col
ored brother. II does not better the
case to presume that race prejudices in
the south might have something to do with
the matter. If the country at large be
taken into consideration the negro still
stands, according to the only statistics we
nave, pre-eminent among the criminal
classes. In the North Central states
nearly l per cent of the local colored po-
pulation or 4 per cent of the adult male
negroes are conviCts, while in New York
and New Jersey and the Pacific coast
states the proportion is even greater In
the entire country the negro race fur
nishes 81 per cent of the murderers, al
though contributing but II per cent of the
population.
1t has been claimed that the large num-
Der of murders in the south, or in fact in
all parts of the country, committed by
negroes are directly attributable to the
llliteraCy of that race. This is not true.
The census shows that the proportion of
negro murderers who could read and
write was greater than the average for
non-criminals. This is a rule that holds
good among all races. A large majority
of the murderers are educated persons.
There is one point that southern writ
er recently made that seems to come
nearer to explaining why crime is so com
mon in the south than any other so far
offered. According to statistics, four
ffths of the murderers in this country
had no trade, and one-tith were idle and
out of employment at the time the crime
was committed Lack of occupation
seems to have a worse influence than any
other condition, not even excepting
drunkenness. LAS it is very generally
known that, through some cause or other,
the southern negro is VIGOROUSLY idle and
shiftless, may not this be the cause"
ably reasons the writer referred to, "why
crime is 50 common among the colored
peOple2N

As We have stated many times in the

farmers have two of the most valuable
plants that can be named in any section
of the world These are burr clover and
crimson clover a proper use made of
them, it win obviate any necessity for
blowing up land in summer time and
using peas as a soil renovator They are
simply invaluable, and when a farmer
comes to know either of them it is a
source of regret to him that he had not
discovered their value earlier. These
two clovers have a special value owing to
their qualities for winter growth, though
for permanent meadow they are not
equal to lucern.

Shade Cor the Stool.

Both cattle and sheep should have pro
vision made in the pastures or adjoining
them for protection from the sun during
this and next month. A dark shed on
high ground or a dense growth of pines
or forest is the best. In these places they
will be much freer from the attacks of
flies, and especially in the case of sheep,
the injury from CAD fly may be largely
prevented Watch the sheep and lambs,
and every twol or three weeks
syringe out their nostrils with equal
parts of turpentine and hnseed oil well
shaken together. Insert the nozzle of the
syringe three or four inches up the nos
tril and give quick syringe, and then
let the head 90 at once. In minute or
two treat the other nostril the same way.
Better to spend few hours now every
week or two in doing this than to have
the sheep dying of grub in the head next
fall and spring. Tarring the nostrils of
the sheep is also a preventive worth try
ing. Though not a certain remedy, it is a
considerable preventive

this reason the proprietors of Hostetter'S

A sufficient warning to those meditating

and the redoubled efforts that are being
made to protect the public from the de-
ception of these unprtncipled pirates.

Lice on Cattle.

There are two kinds of cattle lice
They are classified as the short-nosed OK
louise and long-nosed OK louise. The
former is larger and more difficult to get
rid of. 1t is most commonly found along
their necks and shoulders, and these parts
are frequently worn bare by the animal
rubbing against fences, etc, to get rid of
the little pests The long-nosed variety
is perhaps more common and attacks the
animal along the spine and on the hips
and rump, though sometimes on
the neck and head. A com
mon remedy for treating cattle
lice is cocculus indicus, of which
use one-half pound for each animal,
pulverizing it and mixing with two quarts
of vinegar, allowing it to simmer one
hour on the stove. This should be ap-
piled thoroughly by rubbing it well into
the hair over the infested parts. A kero-
sene emulsion made of two gallons of ker-
osene, and one-fourth pound of whale-oil
soap in a gallon of water is also very
effective. The solution of soda should be
heated before adding the kerosene and
the mixture churned for five or ten min
utes to make the emulsion. This should
be diluted with eight parts of water and
applied thoroughly. Ten gallons will
treat fifty animals. READER.

years produced a crop of 1900 bushels of

be improved by natural selection With
the improvement of seed lies the great
hope for increased profit in the cultiva-
ton of small grains, but instead of SOW

Salt the stock

At this season of the year it is especi-
ally necessary to invite attention to this
subject says the Southern Planter: Many
farmers seem to think that if their stock
running on the pasture is sailed, say once
a week, everything that is necessary has
been done. We demur entirely TO this
view of the matter Salt is daily neces-
sltY, both for manand beast, and should be
placed where it can be had at all times.
One of the greatest difficulties to be con-
tended with in stock breeding is parisiti-
cal disease, and especially is this so with
sheep. Young lambs are especi-
ally subject to attack of these
parasites and rapidly succumb
to them. The young tender heritage on
which they feed is the place on which the
eggs or larvae of the parasites are depos-
tied, and they are taken into the stomach
of the animals with the grass. The only
means to prevent the loss is frequent salt
ing, and this can only be secured by
keeping in each field fixed trough, with
a shed or cover so placed over II as to
keep out the rain and yet allow the stock
to get the salt. Where sheep and cattle
are running together separate troughs
should be fixed Those for the sheep
should be on the ground, and the covers
should be so close over them in order to
keep sOut the rain, that cattle cannot
well get to the salt Let those for the
cattle be fixed against the fence, say two
or three feet from the ground, and with
covers Just far enough above them to al
low the cattle to get the salt. Keep these
always well supplied with salt, and the
admixture of a little copperas, say one
part to ten of salt every two weeks, will
be found useful mixture of little
sulphur with the salt now and again is
also good thing. Keep the watering
places free from weeds brush and filth of
all kinds, and have good running stream
through them if possible. BY the adOp-
ton of these means the attacks of para
sites may be largely counteracted

IN THE HEART OF A POPLAR.
The Strange Place in Which a Ken
lucky Skeleton Was Found.

S. w. Gholson, surveyor of McCracken
county, Ky, recently told Paducan cor
respondent about discovery made by
some workmen on his farm, about ten
miles from the former place. The men
felled large poplar tree, some five feet
in diameter at the base. The surface of
the trunk was perfect except in one spot,
where a "cat-facen indicated that there
had once been a hole into the interior On
chopping up the trunk and splitting it, a
hollow was found to run through it, and
in that hollow was the skeleton of man.
The skull and teeth were intact, and also
a good portion of the vertebraa the breast
bone, the knees and the feet. 1t stood
upright, the lower part being about two
or three feet from the ground. The thin
nest part of the wood covering these bones
was fifteen inches.
When the discovery was made hun
dreds of people inspected the WONDER and
carried off the bones as relics. Various
were the opinions, wise and otherwise
that We're expressed as to how and when
this human skeleton became imbedded in
the very center of an apparently perfect
tree. Those who are familiar with the
growth of forest trees were of the opinion
that it must have been encased in its
upright coffin at least eighty years. Was
it an Indian or white MANI Had he
taken refuge there from an impending
danger, aud, being unable to extricate
himself, had died and become encoffined
by the natural growth of the tree, or is it
the secret of some terrible crime COM
mitted in the long-distant pastl These
are some of the questions which none
could answer When Mr.. Gholson was
asked why he had not preserved the
bones for scientific examination, he re-
piled that before anything of that sort
suggested itself the skeleton had been
broken up and distributed far and wide.

Important Land Decision.

PORTLAND orr, Sept. S.-United
States Circuit Judge Gilbert today
rendered a decision in the case OF
the United States VS.. the Oregon and
California railroad company. The
decision is adverse to the railroad
company. The case involves the title
to about 100000 acres of land on the
east side of the Willamette river,
which was once included in the land
grant of the Northern Pacific on that
part of the line between Wallula and
Portland. After it was forfeited by
the Northern Pacific the Oregon and
California claimed it, because it would
have been included in their grant
had it not previously been granted to
the Northern Pacific.

Opium Smuggler Killed.

house officers had a lively battle

ium was being lowered from the
steamer Romulus into small boats
when Inspectors Casey and Sprague,
who were hiding near by, demanded
the surrender of the men in the boat.
There was no reply and the inspectors
fired two shots from their revolvers.

jumped overheard, and as nothing
has been seen of him since, it is
feared he was drowned. The Rom

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sat the close
of the morning business in the senate
Voorhees, called up his repeal bill and
Faulkner addressed the senate. He
said he would not vote for the repeal
bill, but declared he would present
an amendment for the coinage of
three millions of silver per month
until eight hundred millions was in
circulation, and predicted a deficit OF
fifty millions this fiscal year.
Faulkner said he favored bimetal-
lism. The issue was not whether
silver would be further used as
money, but whether its purchase was
to be continued. The very act of
purchasing was discrimination
against silver, because gold was
brought to the treasury. He predict
ed an era of free trade and free bal
lots. When these are secured the
free coinage of silver would neces-
sarily follow.
Jones of Arkansas followed in OPP
position to repeal as it now stands,
declaring that to redeem party
pledges the entire Sherman act should
be repealed.
