Rural Occupations for June.
From the Index Appeal

From the Index Appeal
Do not let the pillow rust in the fur
row this month. Stir the soil often
and keep the weeds down. Plant the
bottom corn and the new ground at
once. Plant beans and field pease,
black most prolific and best of all.
Cut rye, clover, oats, wheat. Shear
sheep without delay. Finish the
sweet potato and tobacco early this
month. Remove scions from fruit
trees. Use plaster freely in the
stables. Now burdock and other
.estiferous weeds in untitled fields, to
prevent going to seed. Gather ma
terial for compost. Top dress clover,
corn, peanuts, etc, with plaster.
Burn the old hog beds, and smear
the pigs with a mixture of tar and
sturgeon oil or other grease. Keep
the poultry houses thoroughly clean,
and we'll busted with dry dirt. End
of month, plant Irish potatoes for
last or second crop. Cut bushes in
pastures, new ground, etc. Allow no
standing or stagnant water about
dwelling, kitchen, stable, or well, and
look well to the cordition of the well
if you desire your family to continue
well. You may take this as pun,
but being sick is no fun. Don't sleep

DRUNKEN SPARROWS.
A Planter Saved His Cotton by Feed

A Planter Saved His Cotton by Feed
ing Birds Whiskey.
From the Galveston News.l
The English sparrows have proved
a nuisance in the cotton country, for
as soon as the bolls open they pick
the cotton and carry it off, and some
planters have lost, as they claim,
hundreds of pounds in this way.
There is one man, however. in eWitt
county, that has not lost much.
When he found the sparrows were
committing Expectations he pro
cured quantity of wheat, soaked it
in sweetened whisky and strewed it
along the rows. The sparrows
found it and thought they had a
picnic.
So they had. But in fifteen or
twenty minutes there was the tip siest
lot of English sparrows ever seen on
the face of the earth They rolled
about the ground, falling on their
sides aud backs and kicking their
heels into the air like O parcel OF
diunkards, all the while uttering the
most comical squeaks. They did
not have long to squeak, however,
for the boys gathered two bushels of
drunken spafrows. Three or four
days later the experiment was re-
peated with almost equal success,
and from time to time since. They
made excellent pot pie, but the sur
vivors have come to regard the
plantation as hOodooed, for now
very few come about it.

A Giant Walnut Leg.
From the Timberman. I


The large walnut log from Leaven-
worth county, Kan, which attracted
SO much attention at the World 3
Fair, will be converted into furniture
by ii company that bought it from
the Kansas commissioners. The
log was cut from a tree growing in
Tonganoxie township. 1t cost 5000
to get the log out of the woods. The
commissioners paid 5000 for it for
Worlds Fair purposes, and sold it
at the close of the Exposition for
81, 200. The tree from which the
log was cut was the monarch OF
Leavenworth county, being rs feet
high. The distance from the ground
to the first limb was At feet.
Exclusive OF the log the tree yielded
two car loads of lumber. The log
was ] feet long, 70 inches in diane
ter at the top and 81 inches at the
butt. 1t weighed 40, 900 pounds and
contained 3, SOC feet-board measure.
People not acquainted in Kansas
who visited the Fair could not under
stand how such n giant grew in that
State. The tree, scientists say, was
II years old when Columbus discov-
cred America. 1t was stated to be
the largest tree of it's species in
the United States

Senator Jarvis is not at all pleased
with the doings of Congress, but is a
new man at the bellows and does not
want to blow too hard for fear of
burning the irons he has in the fire.
He said to News reporter
"The slowness with which Congress
moves is ridiculous and inexcusable.
The country has a right to be dis
gusted, but we will yet try to bring
the thing around all right. That
kind of business would not be toler-
ated in North Carolina, and perhaps
in no Southern state, but in Wash

Gcneral Rosser on Pensions

General Rosser went O bow-shot

bitterly opposed to the abuses which
have not only crept into the admin
istration of our pension laws, but
have been boldly invited in. The
Pension Bureau, under Corporal Tan
ner and his successor was q fostering
mass of corruption, and, no douLt t,
there are now tens of thousands OF
most unworthy names on our pen
sion rolls, which IL will be the duty
of an honest administration, either
Democratic or Republican, to ex-
puge. But there are men who fought
for the Union, who, by every princi-
pie that could justify pensions, are
entitled to them, and nothing should
affect their right and title. There
may be others who hold General
ROsser's opinions about pensions,
but we have never met or heard oil

NORTH CAROLINA sENAToRsHIP.
A Spirited Contest in Prospect Between

Aspiri'ed Contest in Prospect Between
the Contendtng Factions.
From the Washington Poet.l
The approaching Senatorial con
test in North Carolina promises to
be the most intensely interesting ever
held in that State There lie no
dearth of political timber. The
prominence of the candidates adds
to the interest of the fight. Senator
Jarvis, appointed by the Governor
TO fill the uDexpired term of Senator
Vance, announced before he accepted
the appointment that he would be
contestant for the seat now held by
Senator Ransom. Between Messrs.
Ransom and Jarvis there has long
been a bitter rivalry. Mr.. Ransom
has worn the Senatorial toga for
twenty-four years and wants to sue
coed himself. He will make a bitter
fight to retain bis hold, and the
equal determination of Governor
Jarvis to win will add zest to the
race before unequalled. Hon. T. W.
Mason, Railroad Commissioner, is
another contestant. Senator Jarvis
is a free-silyerite; Senator Ransom is
a staunch administration man, and
the administration forces will proba-
bly, be with Senator Ransom. The
result of the race viii! depend upon
the complexion of the new Legisla-
ture and also whether congressman
Henderson and Alexander will an
nounce their candidacy. The friends
of Captain Alexander are urging him
to enter the race and assure him of
success. Among the many candi-
dates for the Senatorship from the
Western District are Judge A. G.
Avery. of the Supreme Court; Judge
| Armfield, of the Superior Court;
Judge R. T. Bennett, Hon. Augustus
Leazrr, exSpeaker of the House of

HECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of
the year has no equal, as we believe, in the
world, and during the remaining three
months of the year, comprising June, July
and August, the heat is not oppressive.
Even though the thermometer in mId-sam
mer may al times rise above 1852, and oc-
casionally even reach lI00, yet, owing to
the absence of moisture in the air, it is not
oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light
and balmy. When the mercury marks The
highest extreme of heat, person does not
feel that oppression or debility which Is
felt in the Eastern States when the mer.
curry i. ranging from So to go. The air is
SO dry that perspiration is absorbed as soon
as it reaches the surface of the body, and
at no time in the summer does the heat
produce any discomfort.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an
era of aouderfnl social and industrial de-
velopment. There can't be doubt abont
the fact The dawn for which she has
waited 81 long is breaking at last. There
is every promise of dav of great pros
perity and permanent upbuidiDg j':st be-
fore her. The impulse OF n6w and ener-
giving hope is visible evtryw here among
her people while the cttiufative effect Of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they tr inspired singlF, is now
commanding for her fall share of attem-
ton and interest abroad among home
seekers and c"pitali,ts.
A lively competition has sprung mp for
the possession of things which ha' e he. etc.
fore gone a-beggiHg for Ownership. There
is Il scramble for franchises Nothing more
surely indicates great industrial a~aken-
ing than this. The rates of interest are
filling to moderate figures Nothing more
surely indicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that yclimacticer
period which every western state has ex
PEI lem ed sometime iii its hi tory when.
after long aud weary struggle and Doubt.
With each side If the bnlauce first mp and
then down, the clnrds OF dependency
ha suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop
ing spirits of the people to greater and
Drawer endeavor than before.
For the last twelve ears The subsistence
of the great Tombstone boom and the com
pletion of two transcontinental lines OF
railroad across ber territors Arizona has
rather dropped out of pubic attention,
