Rye and Russian Thistle.

1t is nothing uncommon for rye to
yield forty bushels to the acre. and IL
the ground is properly prepared and
good seed well put In failure will not
occur IL there Is enough moisture in
the ground to serminate the seed in
the fall. Rye can be sown In August
or any time before the ground freezes.
We have seen good crops when the
grain was sown so late that the plants
could hardly be seen above ground un-
til the following spring. II rye is not
sown by Sept. 20, 1t is usually bet
ter to wait until the ground Is about
to freeze up. One who has land infest-
ed with Russian thistles will find great
satisfaction In sowing rye thick and
early. Some sow in July and pasture
the stand so 1t cannot joint, then har-
vest a crop the next year.-Field and
Farm.

If the hand trembles bluff against
the owner as often as possible, and
pound him for all you are worth.
By doing this you will be able, to get

past life.
If the hand is in the habit of hold

If, on the other hand, the hand

THERE is nobody to blame for worthless, rude, bad boys but careless and indifferent parents, says an exchange. Just as well expect a stalk of corn, without any culture, surrounded by all kinds of weeds, to grow and ma- ture we'll developed ear of corn as to expect a boy permitted to have his own way, go where he wants to, and associate with all the bad boys of the town, to make a moral, honest, upright man.

REPRESENTATIVE G. F. CHAP LINE of Monroe county has pre- pared, and will introduce at the coming general assembly, one of the most far-reaching revenue bills that has ever been offered to the law makers of the state. His bill calls for a privilege tax on all corporate bodies for both state and county purposes, and, where warranted by the constitution, a privilege tax for both state and county on many occupations. On the professions and occupations generally, his bill calls for coun- ty privilege tax, there being a constitutional inhibition against the taxing of occupations for state purposes.

A LIVE exchange properly states that no town will become a good business center as long as the majority of it's business men rely upon a few merchants to make the efforts to bring trade to town. Too often the men in the clothing, furniture and dry goods trade are about the only ones to reach out after custo- mers. Other merchants wait un- til these enterprising business men induce the people to come and content themselves with the trade that naturally drifts to their places. A public-spirited man should ask himself if he is doin g his part to attract people to town. He may be holding his trade well, and even by fair deal- ings and popular ways, getting his full share of the trade that naturally belongs to the place, but he is not doing his part as a member of the business commun- ity if he is not helping to extend the business of his town. Any merchant who induces people to trade is helping the entire busi- ness community, and is not a success unless all lines are Wor k ing to extend the trade as far as possible and trying to bring a large erritory in the circle of which the town is the business.

sooth, he was uncivilized-then, and not

Finally, what has the negro done since
he was enfranchised to show his lack of
civilization? The southerner says that the
negro showed himself untitled for the bal
lot in that he voted against him and in
favor of the republican ticket at every cleo
ton. Surely Mr.. Littlefield did not intend
to indorse this; and yet in effect he goes
beyond 1t in support of the southerners'
contention.
Sitting as a reviewing judge, to reverse
verdict rendered by a jury of learned
statesmen who heard the evidence and saw
the witnesses testify in the case over thirty
years ago, Representative Littlefield should
have stronger testimony than the declara-
tionS of interested parties.
The southern white man acted as he did
to regain political control. He does not say
that the enfranchised negro was not civil
liZed and yet he laughs in his sleeve and
reaps all the benefits to be derived from
such statements emanating from the
negro's northern friends, whereby he justi-
fies all past and future wrongs that may
be inflicted upon this defenseless people.

Butler and Balfour Have Dispute.

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
An acrimonious correspondence between A.
J. Balfour and Gen. Butler has been pre-
scented. Mr.. Balfour contends that Gen.
Butler was in chief command at the battle
of Spion Kop, while the general denies this
assertion. To his contention Mr.. Balfour
adds:
There is no reason why all the Spion
Kop dispatches should not be published"
To this Gen. Butler rejoins that he hopes
the dispatches will be published without
manipulation.
Mr.. Balfour replied to Gen. Butler, pro-
tested against the latter's insinuation, and
declared that the only manipulation which
had been exercised with regard to Gen.
Buffers dispatches was the excelsior of a
single sentence criticising Sir Charles War
rem. while the, omissions from Lord Rob-
erts' dispatches relating to operations in
Natal were made. said Mr.. Balfour, "solely
for the purpose of, If possible, sparing your
feelings and maintaining your military
reputation"
