the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced In the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
In the form most acceptable and pleas

time You hear a man protesting to be a
democrat pleading for harmony. ask
him plumply, do you believe that the
majority should rule and the minority
should yield to the majority?' If he
hesitates to give plain answer club
him into the republican party, where he
belongs.

Springfield, O., Democrat: Some OF
the Republican organs are advocating
the reference OF the tariff to a commits
sion. They want to take it out Of the
hands Of congress. They are evidently
afraid to meet that issue.

Nitrate of soda can be applied to the
best advantage Immediately upon the
growing crops, as it is available almost
at once for plant food. This salt is
much cheaper than it was in former
years, and consequently its use is in
cteasing.

COTTON SEED AS a PREsERVER.
Cotton seed have been used with the
very best Of results. Being very simple
ana inexpensive, the plan is worthy
OF trial. The second story of our
house is designed for this mode. Seed
should be placed on the floor to the
depth OF few inches and the potatoes
piled thereon to the depth of 2 or feet,
keeping seed between them and the
walls. Then cover with seed a little
deeper than is necessary to cover all
the potatoes. The same seed will an

are thought to be better than new.

successful plans. Take your choice,
and, in the near future, give us your
experience on the points above set

Clipping off the runners is necessary
in growing some of the fresh varieties
of strawberries successfully. If left to
themselves they will produce a great
number of new plants, but there will
be fewer and smaller berries next year
for it. But the Crescent is a berry that
will stand this usage better than any
other we know. If planted in rows
three feet apart and left to form row
filing all the intermediate space, they
will produce an immense amount Of
fruit The Crescent is never large
berry, however carefully it's runners
may be clipped, and it will bear neglect
in this respect better than any otheR'
strawberry.

fishing an industry of the kind, or in
other words, raising the work of
threshing from the level of chore to
the dignity of a trade. And it will
only be when this an accomplished
fact, that there could be put into sue
cessful execution any plan of licensing
threshers, such as is suggested by Sec.
retary Morton.
Mr.. Robinson thinks the present sys-
tenn can be improved upon by having
the Department open correspondence
with each political candidate in each
separate district where grain is pro-
duced, pointing out the perhaps per-
sonal advantage to them in aiding the
Secretary of Agriculture, by discuss
ing with the local grain producers, the
absolute value and quality of the crop
yield in his district; ard gathering
from such discussions, such informa-
tion as would enable him to return TO
the proper authorities a substantiated
report of the amount of grain threshed
AS a reward for this ''gratuitous SER
vice" on the part of the politician, the
government statistician suggests that
neat little ''vest pocket edition" of
these reports be furnished to the can
vasser, which he could exhibit and use
to advantage in his canvass. This
book is, of course, to be supplied with
blank pages for additional reports. In
this way the government would be sup
piled with the desired information
without a special outlay of cash or
work on the part Of the Agricultural
Bureau
1t has been suggested that should the
income tax law ever be enforced, this
work of collecting information in re-
gard to cereal crop yields, would be
spared the government, inasmuch as
the returns made by the collector of
incomes, as required by this law, would
contain ample information regarding
the status of the resident cerealist, and
necessarily in his search for the authen-
ticity of these income reports, the very
particulars that the Bureau is so anx-
ious to obtain would be furnished truly.
gratis, since the same man would une
consciously perform the two duties.
The whole matter, however, as Mr..
Robinson remarked, is still in an en-
bryo state, and until a better plan for
obtaining these accurate reports can be
devised, they will have to be content
with the present system.

FIVE hundred two horse loads of

In purchasing Paris green for poison
ing potato bugs or other insects, care
should be taken to secure that which is
pure. The entire unreliability of much
of the Paris green in market leads to
uainq it in large doses so as to produce
the right effect, and this is frt quently
iriurious to the tender leaves. With
Paris green of full standard purity the
amount required to kill insects is SO
small that no injury VIII result from
it's use. When the Paris green is used
to destroy fungous groWths heavier
doses are required, and lime must be =
used with it to prevent injury But
for both uses the Paris green should be
pure, so that those using Il may under
stand what results 10 expect.
