Now that the harvest is practically
over, and such an abundant one it has
been, the results must seem very graf
flying as we look back on those days
of careful thought and continual toll.
How was this wonderful crop accom-
plishedP We can all unite in saying
that natures element had much to do
with it, but In addition comes cultivS-
tion and planting stock. Certainly the
latter comes in for good bulk of the
praise, for see what strides of advance
ment have been made both as to yield
and quality. Corn easily yielding over
100 bushels per acre on an average in
many sections; oats 125 bushels per
acre is truly marvellous, while wheat,
rye, barley and all general field crops
form a rear guard Of unusual strength.
But just look at the array Of garden
products. Every state and county fair,
as we'll as all exhibitions, have been
crowded with the choicest products
from the market and family garden.
1t all goes to show that we are entering
a new era of advanced agricultural and
horticultural interest.
/ have received testimonial letters
from thousands of my customers in
almost every country, testifying in
glowing terms the results obtained by
planting Buckbee's seeds.
Now comes the time when all farm
ers and gardeners are commencing to
plan for next year, and first Of all
comes in their mind-seed. Is that
which you have planting for years goo3
enoughP BY all means, no. 1t is sb-
solutely necessary that change be
made occasionally, and then to get the
latest improved and very best stock
obtsinable.
Buckbee's Seed and Plant Guide for
1895 (msiled to all regular customers
January /, and is free to all intending
buyers for the asking) portrsys with
accuracy the products Of the Rockford
Seed Farms. Tells sll about the great
ost, "Illinois," which produced from
100 to 150 bushels per acre In 1895; the
new corn, "Buckbee'S Colossal, " which
gave an average yield Of over 100 BUSH
els to the acre In many sections.
The valuable novelties in the garden
and flower seed line will be attractive
to every one, while the array Of plant
novelties will be of much pleasure to
all lovers Of the beautiful.
Now is the time to begin plans for
next year. Don't put off until too late.
Take time by the forelock and make
the harvest of 1896 stand out as an ex-
ample of the wonders which the sgri-
cultural and horticultural world can
accomplish. II. w. BUcKBEE,

PENITENTIARY ABUSES.
Tte Promised Efficient Management a Hope
less Failure.

The Kansas penitentisry has nov
been In the hands Of the redeemeri
y several months. 1t will be remem
bored that when charges were filed
against Warden Chase he was charged
with almost everything. Among Other
things, he was charged with carrying
his daughter, Miss Carrie, on the pay
roll as q guard while she performed the
duties Of cashier. This, with other
things, was made the basis for re-
moval. The present warden has q
young lady on the payroll, and she
performs the same duties in the same
way. Not only that, but it is stated
that guard has also been detailed as
assistant turnkey, a position which
does not and never did exist. 1t has
also been found that the work
Of the chaplain 10 too great for
one man. His populiSt predecessor
and all Of the long line Of republican
chaplalns managed to do the work,
but now it is found necessary to give
him an assistant. This individual at
tends to the mail and the library,
while the chaplain himself deVotes his
time to the other duties, which are by
no means of an arduous nature. If 1t
was wrong for Warden Chase to do as
he did In regard to the cashier, how
much more SO it must be for Warden
Lynch to do the same thing, not only
IN the same case, but in two others Of
d similar nature.
Mr.. Lynch admits that the governor
attends to the matter Of appointments,
hence his excellency must know that
one Of the conditions exists on which
be based his order removing Chase,
and two others exactly similar.
A gentleman who thinhs he knows
whereof hespesks says that each morn
ing q convict goes around among the
officers and takes their orders for what
they may desire In vegetable line,
and the orders are filled from the state
farm. A similar charge was made
against Chase, and was made basis
for removal. Why Is this permitted

den Chase.
The present efficient management is
best shown up by the financial state
ment Of the institution. During Sep
tember the income was q little over
a5,OOO, the expenditures about $l4,-
OoO, leaving q deficiency Of $1,000.
WaFden Chase made the institution
Day expenses, which apparently did
not suit this administration. The
people, however, were better pleased
with q statement in which the income
came nearer balancing with the exnen'
ditures. Taking into consideration
the promises made by the administers
tlon, the ideal management outlined by
Assistant Attorney General GODDARD and
che fight made on Chase'S management,
'k leaves no other conclusion for the
people to arrive at but that the present
administration Of the affairs of that
instltution is an utter and absolute
failure, and in addition, is lacking ad.

body need make an income tax return
until he is called on for it., and that tho
collector must call in psrson, his duties

nature, and such as no canno. delegate
them.
Tho lawyer insists that the so per
cent penalty canno DO imposed until
the collector shall have made his call
and the return boon refused. This
would do the treasury out OF n good
deal OF money, for thore are incomes
which the collector cannot know about.
There is a provision in tho law 70.
