OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
Prevention of Fungous Diseases.

The season for the active treatment Of
fungous diseases by spraying is drawing to a
close but the season will soon be here when
much may be done toward the prevention or
lessening of next years diseases. The little
plants of fungi which produce the diseases
are continued from year to year by means
of seeds known as spores, or germs, which
are produced in almost countless numbers.
Many of them, retaining thHr vitality,
remain on the affected plants, or parts Of
plants, over Winter, and are ready to start
the disease anew in the Spring. Some fungi
even develop an additional form of spOre on
the fallen leaves or fruit. Hence the inn
portance of destroying in the Fall all af-
fected parts, thereby destroying the seed for
next years fungus crop.
In the orchard the disease known as the
scab is q serious pest TO the apple and pear,
affecting both the fruit and the foliage. All
diseased fruit which cannot be used should
be thoroughly removed from the trees and
from the ground under the trees, and burned
or buried. The fallen leaves and rubbish
should be raked up and also burned. In
this way not only the spores of the scab, but
the spores of other diseases affecting the
trees, and many insects as well, will be de-
stroyed. The parts of pear-trees, branches
and leaves killed by fre-blight should be re-
moved and burned. This, however should
be done as soon as the disease makes it's APP
pearance. To insure thorough work the
limbs should be cut off at some distance
below the dead part.
Carefully remove from on and under
plum trees all fruit affected with the rot and
destroy it. When the leaves have fallen
from the plum and cherry trees examine
them for black knots. Cut the knots off
and burn them. If large wounds are made
cover them with paint. Before the black
knot can be exterminated the wild cherries
will have to be looked after as well as the
cultivated ones. Leaves of cherry and plum
trees attacked by the " shot-hole" fungus
should be burned. From strawberry patches
affected with leaf blight remove and burn
the dead and diseased leaves. Potato tops
should be burned, to destroy the spores of
the blight or rust and all rotten potatoes
should be destroyed, for they also contain
the germs of the disease. Gather and burn
corn smut; do not throw it on the manure
heap. In short. as far as possible destroy
this Fall all parts of plants affected with
disease. There can be no doubt that if this
were attended to by farmers generally, in
few years the losses now caused by fungous
diseases would be greatly lessened.-Ameri

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK,
KANSAS CITY. Dec. 22-Cattle receipts, ASS;
C Ives, A. Shipped yesterday, 1896; calves, l1s.
Aside from a bunch OF fine Colorado steers
there was nothing of special interest among
the light receipts. Medium and fair steers
were in demand and steady to strong. The
best steers were unsold. Common and West
ern steers were dull. The COW trade was gen.
orally a trihe more brisk and stronger than
yesterdays low time, yet some dealers thought
them 10 cents lower. There has been fully Is
cents more taken from the prices OF Monday
and Tuesday, except ON Gamers. Bulls, calves
and Texas cattl5 were steady The supply OF
poor stockers was very large, while good feed
ers were scarce. The early trade was dull,
with feeders st aady and stockers very weak to
lower. Later the trade was more active and
prices got strong, in some cases 10 cents higher
than yesterday. The yards were we'll cleared
OF cattle for slaughter.
Hogs-Receipts, 5247; shipped yesterday
19l Themarket for good hogs was active and
about steady Common hogs were weak to
cents lower, closing worse than that in some
cases. The quality was not so good as 1t has
been and this accounts largely for the differ
ent showing in prices. The supply was $500.
Packers bought 5S4O, and shippers, 300 The
top was S4.4O, and the bulk Of sales were $405@

CHICAGO, Dec. 22-The last session Of the
board previous to the Christmas adjournment
passed without violently changing the previ-
GUS prices Of any important speculative COM
modify. Wheat gained % and everything lost
similar trife as compared with yesterdays
closing values.
Corn was oppressed by heavy receipts for
which there was no market except at still
more liberal concessions in the price than
were previously necessary The to.day's re-
ceipts were 4O4 cars, and for Monday 500 cars
are estimated. The East is getting supplies
from Ohio, Tennessee and elsewhere to a sufi-
ciently large extent to make them independ.

HON. JAMES D. RICHARDSON
TENNESSEE'S GALLANT AND FEARLESS
REPRESENTATIVE.

| TENNESSEE'S GALLANT AND FEA ART,EsS
REPRESENTATIVE
Few men stand higher in the esti-
nation of the law makers of the nation
Inan hon. James ID. Richardson, who
represents the 5th Congressional dis
Irlct OF tennessee in the House of
| representatives. 1t would be hard to
| llnd any one in or out of Congress who
knows him, who does not entertain
the very highest opinion of him He II
the pest tempered, best natured man
IN public life today. His geniality and
good nature Is the talk among the men,
bers of the lower House. We have
seen him in some of the hottest and
fiercest debates but at no time has he
been known to have lost his temner
He is admired by members of both
parties, and he is often called upon to
preside over the House; he makes an
exemplary presiding officer, impartial
at all times in his rulings and treat
ment of all questions coming before
the House. The satisfactory rulings
made by him would have done credit
to the administration of Messrs Blame
and Carlisle when they presided over
the House. Whenever Mr.. Richardson
is designated to preside there is hasty
search of desks for special bills, for it
is well known that he will give all
fair show for their measures. In that
turbulent body at times it takes clear
head and strong voice to bring about
order, but MI. Richardson always
masters the situation and keeps the
best of order When in debate he is
as fierce and bold as lion, not giving
away one jot to anyone when be be-
lleves the measure he is advocating ia
Just one. He never champions bill
before thoroughly investigating it, and
when he finds that its merits are Just
then he stands to his gu is.
The magnificent street car improve
ments in this city together with the
modern equipments and the law Civ
ing them existence is due in part to his
personal efforts. He has been fought
step by step by the fogies, those who
did not desire to keep pace with the
growing city, but he overcame all
opposition. The latest legislative feat
scored to his record this session was
the passage of what is known as The
Metropolitan Omnibus Railroad Bill
signed few days ago by the President.
1t gives every section of the city a
chance to ride on street cars for one
fare
Hon. James Daniel Richardson.
chairman of Printing Committee of
the House of Representatives was born
In Rutherford county, Tennessee,
March 10, 1843. He was educated in
The common schools and was at Frank
in college, Tenn, when the war began.
He entered the Confederate army at
'he age of eighteen, serving nearly four
years. He was Adiutant of the 45th
Tennessee Infantry when the war
'lcsed. After the war he read law in
hurfreesboro, his home, and in 1867 he
'egan the practice of his profession.

A BLACK GENIUS.

The Hon. Fred. Douglass was recent
ly the recipient of several elegant anG
handsomely carved canes, the ingeni-
Gus handiW Ork of an unlettered black
man, G. r. Devaine of North Carolina
The work stamps itself as being the
product offs master. One of the canes
is a historical representation of Mr..
Douglass illustrious career from boy,
typifying in truthful detail by step
ladder like gradations, the stirring
scenes and important events of his life.
The work will have to be seen for one
to fully appreciate the exquisite skill
and splendid execution of the artist.
From slave child at his mothers
knee to escorting president of the
United States to take the oath of his
high office is long step but it was left
for black genius to execute the most
interesting as well as truthful portrayal
of that magical journey. G. R. Dew
aine has demonstrated in simple yet
effective way that human ingenuity and
skill is not circumscribed by the color
of a mans skin. Here is an humble,
untutored child OF nature SURPRISING in
an art by the nicely and delicacy of his
execution thousands of more favored
race who have striven for equal perfec-
ton in the same art and having all the
advantages of wealth, education and
twenty centuries of learning behind
them. When we reflect how few stu
dents have ever attained proficiency in
this field of skill, this mans achieve
ment must impress us as truly wonder
full. Mr.. DevaiDe is not only credit to
bis race but he is credit to any race.
1t has been said that the Negro could
only equal other races in some things
where Drain and skill were requisites
and surpass in nothing. This man de-
serves high honor for his refutation of
this assertion SO far as it pertains to the
most difficult art of carving at least.
Let the world question the Negro's
ability in any field of thought or valor
but it dare not give him a chance. We
venture to say that science, art and lit
erature would be vastly richer in their
accomplishments were it not for the
obscurity which the Negroes color i'm
poses. AS the poet truly says.
"Full many gem of purest ray serene,
The bright unfathomed cares of ocean bear,
And many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste it's sweetness on the desert air.

proves that there il something wrong
somewhere The trouble is clear.
Teachers believe that when they have
erammed child full of book knowl-
edge their work is done. The only
faculty Of a child's mind they know
anything about is its memory and they
ride that to death.
II Doy is bright, bubbling over
with energy which finds vent in mis-
chief they thump that out of him. if he
is slow, even dull, but tenacious in re-
tanning what he once grasped they
thump that out of him. In short, the
boy who is predestined to achieve sue
cess in life too frequently does so not
on account cf but IN spite of his teach
er. What we need is the elimin alton
from our school books of lot of rub
bish that is taught which has no pos
sible relevancy to the development of
the man. Teach less arithmetic and
more counting. Many boy who can
reel of a problem in cube root @ho If
put behind the counter and should, for
instance. sell person 35 cents worth
of sugar and $l.714 worth of meat and
given five dollar bill to change would
just about go crazy getting the right
change unless he had the use of slate
and pencil. Teach less grammar and
more about how to speak and write
correctly No one will dc ny that there
are thousands of children who can d.
gram the most complex sentence and
parse every word in it and yet can't
write letter fit to be sealed. These
are facts: children are taught too much
and not educated enough. But above
all we need teachers who are qualified
not only to teach but to develop the
young mind To this end they should
have a thorough knowledge of the
science that pertains to the mind so
that when she sees the little one make
ing mud pies she won't yell at him to
come out of the mud but rather en-
courage him to make good mud pies
