The negroes Of OwensborO have
had red-hot meeting setting forth
their attitude in the coming cam
paign. The following is one of
their resolutions which was unani-
mously adopted. "The negro voters
will not support any man that the
Republican party may offer unless
they give the negro say in max
ing the nomination; that all nomi-
nations must be made in open con-
vention, the negro taking part
therein; that, after the above reso-
lutiOns have been complied with,
we will support the party to a
man, provided that he is properly
recognized in the organization of
the party" Some of the Republi-
can organs of the State are I'M
comfortable on account of such
resolutions, and give the "coon" to
understand that he can just con-
tinue to saw wood and say muffin. "

THE DAT CROP.


Its Increasing lmportance-t'raih from
Cat Producing Centres for seed.
Oats have been climbing up in value
so fast that they have greatly outdls-
taneed both wheat and corn. Farmers
that have oats in abundance TO sell 70

For year or two past some Of the most
progressive aCriculturists have foreSeen
the ultimate outcome Of the large crop

naratively small crops Of oats and hay.
after this year will hold a more
i .4nent Position in the eyes Of grain
growers than ever before, and instead
Of talking nothing but corn and wheat
there will be many 70 ask the question,
Whats the matter with oats:
Some farmers will say that oats sap
the soil 50 that it does not pay TO raise
them, but Il Is much bette. u raise cat,
And add manurcs - the soil than to
raise corn and wheat at loss. Then
what Is wrong about alternating with
pats and grass and clover so that the
green manure can add to the land what
the oats take from Il: Hay, like oats,
is crop that i looming up on the
horizon as the most important crop
raised. and With these two popular crops
continually growing no farm need be
run down. The demand for oats this
season over that for corn and wheat
simply shows the tendency Of the rela-
tive Importance Of the three grains in
the future, says an eastern correspond
ent Of American Cultivator, who adds
a hint about selection Il seed. He says:
In selecting the seed for oats the
heavy ones from the oat producing cen
tiers should be obtained. The seeds that
come from the northwest are heavy,
clean and very meaty. When planted on
good soil and properly cultivated, every
bushel turns the scales at 40 pounds or
4 little over When one realizes that IL
is the heavy oats that tell in the market,
it would pay one to buy such excellent
seed even though there is enough in the
bin to satisfy all needs. Moreover, this
heavy seed of the north and northwest
is backed up with the recommendation
Of many Of the experiment stations,
whose motives in inyesti eating such
matters we must accept as unbiased. 1t
may be well, however. to take all of the
stories about the wonderful yields with
a slight discount

thoroughly clean cultivation and late

In view of the application of the
trolley to canal traffic. it is interesting
to recall what improvements were at.
tempted on passenger transportation
on American canals before railways
seized this part of the business. Seth
c. Jones, of Syracuse, built about sixty
years ago an improved canal packet,
designed to run from Syracuse to Buff
falo, distance of ninety-five miles, be-
tween breakfast and supper. The boat
was drawn by horses, and on her trial
trip, with forty or fifty passengers, she
made nearly twelve miles an hour. 1t
was asserted that going at this speed
she created smaller waves and did less
damage to the banks than other boats
going at ordinary canal speed.
