During the winter of 1898, F. NJ.
Martin, of Long Reach, West Val, con.
tracted severe cold which left him
with cough. In speaking of how he
cured it he says: Il used several
kinds of cough syrup but found no re-
lief until bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remndy, which relieved
me almost instantly. and in a short
time brought about a complete cure. y

A Good Place.

The two observations above describ-
ed shows that the farm, even the very
field itself is rich field for thought.
and mental development. Here in
close communion with nature and the
peculiar demonstrations CT her work
ings, the observant mind is filed with
food for reflection, growth and expan-
sion that it cannot possibly enjoy in the
hurry -scurry of commercial or city life.
The annals of fame bear witness that
most of the names of great men who
adorn the front ranks Of its mental
workers. sprung from country parents,
country homes and country scenes,
and early education ahd association.
sThe wise man is never less alone than
when alone" for then his thoughts
can pursue their even tenor in solving
abstruse facts and theories unmolested;
and in no place does man come in closer
contact with nature and her manifold
and seemingly wonderful workings,
than on the farm. Sir Isaac Newton
was reclining in his orchard and heard
an apple fall to the ground, and eluci-
dated the problem of gravitation.
Robert Bruce, fleeing, took refuge in
country cave, and lying there he wit
messed spider mend its broken web a
mum Der of times, took courage there
from, returned and fought his way to
the throne of Scotland. There is not
an insect or blade of grass or possible
thing we see, but gives food for
thought, and will not only bear our
minds onward and upward in the mas
terry of knowledge here. but lift and
lead on to contemplation Of the all
wise, all.powerful Creator.

There can be no doubt but what every
farmer can raise his own rice, and
wheat for -four. We want rice and
Touring mills. and then the crops will
be grown. There was = great quantity
of rice raised in this county last year,
but the difficulty of cleaning it has
doubtless deferred its further acreage
this season Flour is an article of diet
relished by all, but the poor of both
races have to indulge very sparingly IN
its use because the low price of cotton
has so reduced profits, that the money
is not to be had for its purchase. Only
a few acres in these two articles would
supply any family with two articles of
diet that could be used at every meal
with little cost. There is no money in
farming where every thing is bought.
Dollars saved are dollars made. The
saving can not be too rigid, for there
will always be too many leaks. Ifthere
is no other way to get these mills, let
the farmers build q cooperative plant
at Canton which would do for the en-
tire county. Her. is where organized
effort would be beneficial.

How Does Corn Grow.

We would like for some one who is
more of scientist, botanist or COM
mon sensed observer, to tell us how
corn grows. In our field q few days
ago we noticed the blades of corn glued
together near the top where some in
sect had eaten them and exuded juice
or gum, that made them adhere. We
noticed also that in every instance, the
corn top was twisted like the strand OF
a rope. It is our opinion that corn
grows from the centre like banana
plant. That the corn grows with
spiral movement which accounts for
the twisting of the top in the manner
mentioned. II these tops are not re.
leased from this rope-liks twist, either
artificially or by growth naturally. the
stalk is distorted and blasted. Usually
it releases itself or the stand would be
very materially injured. We looked
industriously for the insect producing
this injury but could not find it, al
though great number of stalks were
effected. 1t Is said that q bana M plant
can be cut off and the growth be seen
with the naked eye. Teosinte cut off
grows from the center and will make q
growth OF two inches in twenty-four
hours.

Bird Sense.

Standing in the field recently where
the plows were turning up the fresh
dirt, we saw little bird of the spar.
row tribe alight and begin hopping from
place TO place, turning its little head
about looking for food. which it found
seemingly in abundance. 1t fed for
awhile under our gaze when we saw
it pick up good sized worm and all at
once fly away with it in its mouth, 60
ing in our opinion, to feed its young
with this specially good morsel. This
shows the strong motherly instinct and
care in the little sparrow, not one Of
which is said to fall to the ground
without Gods knowledge. We are no
believer in the distinction made be-
tween instinct and reason. All birds
and domestic fowls know when the
rlow is running. bugs and worms are
being turned up for food, and hence
they flock to the freshly plowed
ground. Some day before very long,
we will give you an article on the won
derful reasoning powers God has given
to fowls and animals that you think do
not reason or talk to each other.

The Colorado Potato Beetle

With the increase of Irish potato
growing In the south, that well known
and ever prese Mt pest Of the north, the
Potato Beetle, is gradually making its
home here. For several years this in
sect has been present in the northern
portion of Mississippi. but not until
this season has it attracted general at
tention in nearly all parts OF the State.
REMEDIES.
Paris green is sure shot for this
pest. It can be applied to the plants
in almost any manner the most conven-
lent either in liquid or dry form, as
there is little danger Of doing damage
to the plants with the Paris green. In
u liquid form it can be applied as q
spray by means of knapsack spray
pump or by means of common water
ing can. A tablespoonful Of the green
to bucket of water is the correct pro-
portion. When applied in dry form
the green can be placed in -four sack
and the sack shaken over the plants.
Leggett's Champion Powder Gun is the
best machine for the application Of the
green in dry form. Most Of the farm
ers OF the north, however, simply make
the green into thick paste with fresh
lime water and apply II to the plants
with an old broom having the handle
about foot long.

pie Of the Middle States on the tinan-

BLoonINGroN. IND JUNE IS, 1896
Hon. FL. c. Cutting, Supt. Instruc-
ton, Carson City, Nevada:
My DEAR Mr.. CUTTING:-Yonr
unique vt Interesting ana Significant
letter came a few days =
| beg to assure yOu that the people
of the Mississippi valley are fully
aware OF the fact that the one great
is Ia in the present campaign is the
LOldbug vs. the silver man. / fur
ther assure You that we're going to
column. Our people, especially the
agricultural element, which is an
element of great power, ar demand
ing free silver, and h Il Earty which
puts itself upon a free silver platform
is q ing to vim he day. Party lines
are going to he broken down And free
silver is going to he the w~atenwOri Of
Indiana,
Kentucky, our neighbor to the
south, Is almost unanimous for free
silver, and we feel quite conf lent that
Indiana will =" for free silver.
TIE great Issue, ami the one object
i've point next week at St. Louis viii
be whether or not the convention will
make the keystone OF the platform
free silver as against gold. This will
he more imp ,tlant, by far, than whom
they will nominate for President
We hope to be with Nevada or not
far behind her on The free silver ques-
tinn. You certainly will not leave a
st'ne unturned that will make for
free and unlimited coinage If silver.
To my mind that i Ii r.hope.

Woes OF Sick Stenographer Whose
Landlord Was Hard Hearted.
K. s. Mallory. who describes herself as
an expert stenographer and typewriter, ha;
brought suit against William Kropt and
Catherine Kropt, his wife, for $1,000 dam
ages.
The defendants keep o boarding and
lodging house at 21S Turk street at which
Miss Mallory resided up. to August 3 OF
this year. On the evening of the day men
toned Miss Mallory, sick and tired, went
to her room and had just retired when,
apout 10 O'Clock, SO she complains, the
defendants woke her by continual noise
and broke into her room. Once inside they
threatened her, and finally closed the
folding bed in which she was and jammed
and hurt her so as to compel her to arise
partially clothed. She was then forced to
pack her belongings and leave the house.
The plaintiff further alleges that she
was forced to wander about the streets
until midnight before she found shelter.
For all of which i'll treatment she asks
that $1,000 damages be awarded her.
