Harrisburg, June 9.-Judge Weiss
handed down an opinion in the Dau-
phin county court yesterday declaring
unconstitutional the act of 1897 pro-
hibiting the discharge of a Union SOL
der from public position without
cause. The decision is the result of
proceedings directed against three old
soldiers on the Harrisburg police
force, who refused to be removed when
the city government changed hands
last spring. Mayor Fritchey appointed
three Democrats in their place and
select council, which is controlled by
Republicans, refused to consider their
nominations.

A Good Time Coming.

The agricultural possibilities connect
ed with these northwestern states is
something almost beyond comprehen-
sion. 1t is safe to say that if the time
ever comes when the same intensive
methods and thorough cultivation pre-
vail as may be found in France, for in
stance, the average yield of crops will be
nearly doubled. The pioneer methods
are of necessity wasteful ones, for land
is cheaper than labor. AS land increas-
es in value these methods change; the
work of one man covers smaller area;
the work is better done; there is less
waste; farm economies in a hundred
ways get in their work as the land ad-
vances in value; steps are taken to con-
serve the fertility of the soil; thought is
had for the future; an intelligent rota-
ton of crops gets a foothold; fewer
weeds are raised. This process cannot
be forced, but will come in its own good
time.

A man should never get too old to
take pleasure in planting q nee. A no
BILE tree, or better a grove of them, is a
more enduring monument than mar
BILE shaft in some cemetery, which
one hardly ever sees and which does no
one any good. The cattle which shall
find a shelter from the wintry blast and
the heat Of the summer sun under the
trees Of your planting, would, il they
could, bless your memory; the birds
which shall nest in the branches, will
sing your praises all the long summer
through, while little children shall say a
childish mass for the repose of your soul
as they gather the red-cheeked apples
from trees of your planting, the fruit Of
your unselfish patriotism.

212,0OO,0O0 bushels of American corn
found foreign market the past year
an amount far exceeding all previous
records. II we could only educate the
millions of eaters of black bread, rice
and bananas to use corn and its pro-
ducts instead, what a bonanza it would
be for this country. We never could
understand just why foreigner will
tackle month old loaf of black bread
with an axe in preference to lining his
jacket with golden brown johnny cake
Just from the oven. Then there is must
and milk, and Injun pudding, and corn
meal hapjacks, and hoe cake, and nc
end of delicacies which we know how to
concoct from this cereal, all cheaper
than dirt and these barbarians simply
turn up their noses at them all. There
is great field for missionary work il

Corn Fodder.

II any of the corn is to be saved for
fodder this year it will soon be time to
be thinking about it. In one sense there
is unquestionably tremendous waste
associated with the common method Of
husking the corn on the hill and leaving
the stalks to rot in the field. In another
sense there is no loss, as in the case
where thing costs more to get than it
is worth. This is true with regard to
the corn fodder-when properly saved
there is no better rough food for farm
stock. 1t is of especial value as dairy
ration. The amount of corn fodder Sc
cured is likely to be governed very
largely by the price Of hay. When clio
YER hay can be bought in the stack for
SO to "a per ton, there will not be very
much corn fodder used. Where hay is
worth from So to 50 per ton the corn
will all be cut up. Thus through much
OF Illinois the corn is usually all cut up
and the fodder saved, while in northern
and central Iowa but a small fraction of
the crop is thus secured. Improved ma.
chinery has made the cutting and secur-
ing of the corn fodder vastly easier
Job than it used to be, whether done by
means of the silo, or by the use of the
improved corn-harvesters. There is nc
doubt that forty acres of corn fodder
allowed to go to waste, represents the
equivalent of not less than sixty tons OF
good hay. This waste, if one sees fit to
SO term it, suggests the good sense of re-
ducing the area Of land kept as meadow
the land to be used for some other crop,
| (which process in effect would increase
the acreage of the farm) and the utiliza
ton of the corn fodder in place of the
hay. This plan is being adopted b,
many progressive farmers and with very
satisfactory results. II the corn is cut
care should be taken to try and have il
cut at the right time. The fodder is no,
worth saving after it is smitten by q
frost.

There has been a noticeable diminu-
ton of the tramp nuisance this year.
1t is not tramp year. Sympathy for
the poor fellow who is looking for a job
and can't find it, is almost wholly want
ing. They get the cold shoulder at ev
cry turn and rightly so. The tramp is a
social nuisance at best. No man is safe
in hiring one. Almost without excep-
ton they are dirty, lousy, dishonest.
The only agency by which their migra-
tions can be prevented is the same as
that which created them-the railways,
Once stop the tramp from riding and
his business is done for, for he will not
walk, it's too much like work. Organ
lied effort by the roads, supplemented
by little vigorous legislation by the
states, would, we believe, effectually dc
away with the tramp nuisance.

than in any other one thing. They buy

cessful in raising fruit should govern
you in the matter and not the story OF
