am Republican in principle, but
am not so hide-bound to party as to
vote for a man who is not competent
or fit to fill great office, such as con-
gresham, particularly when another
man, even if he is not in the Repub-
lican party, is a better qualified and
more logical man to fill the place.
Some bitter things might be said
against Mr.. Bede, the Republican can
didate, for the way he acted during
the primary campaign when he and
Mr.. Edison were opposed to each other,
and for the way in which he acted to-
ward Mr.. Edison. 1t is enough to say
that a man who is always going about
abusing some one else is not very
safe man to trust, especially if he is
jumping about from one party to an
from one cheap job to another in his
own private life. He certainly will be
unstable at critical times when impor-
tant matters might depend on his &C
ton.
Mr.. Fay is st. Louis county man
and is in the iron business, business
with which every business interest i'll

issued a proclamation that he was in
favor of taking the duty off of iron ore

can point out any good reason why

gained nothing, for, as Mr.. Fay ex-
planned in his speech, the Democrats
themselves demand some tariff to raise
a revenue of about $500,000,Q00 year
to run the government, and they be-
Iieve in putting the duties upon such
things as iron, lumber and luxuries Of
life, and keeping it off of sugar, coffee,
clothing and cotton goods, etc., or the
necessities of life.

that he would name the page. some

ceiyes a "retort courteous he hardly

trative of this is told Of Lord Palmers

Once when canvassing Hampshire IL

two small windows.
During the noble lords speech he
was frequently interrupted by cries

shorter than eight inches in length;
the grain must not be less than half
inch in depth Of grain-three-Quar'er

10 Il large cub-in fact, We do not care
how large or how long as the depth of
grain is maintained. 1t is farth r
around Il large cob than Il small one.
hence there is more room for corn.
writes G.. II. Turner of Mississippi TO
Southern Cultivator.
Short ears invariably have deep
grains and long ears just as invariably
have shallow grains. The ears chosen
for seed should be even their entire
length and well filled out at both ends
and should WELD 80 per cent of grain.
1t is possible TO get 100 ears that will
shell three bushels; it is possible 10
get a grain so firm and solid that a
measured bushel will weigh upward
Of sixty pounds.
Weight of Ear and Depth of Grain.
The weight of our ears of corn ranges
from one and one-half to two pounds
per ear, the depth of grain from half
inch TO seven-eishths of an inch in
depth. and the grain is always solid
enough TO weigh upward of fifty-siX
pounds to the buShel.
While the grain should be solid
enough TO weigh well ii should at the
same time be soft enough to be easy of
both maStication and digestion. yet not
soft enough to rot in the field badly.
We have this much to say about
seed corn for the reason that maximum
yields can never be obtained per acre
unless the seed is of the very best.
