A NURSERY sw1NDIE.

Where the writer lives for several
years past the farmers have been peri
odically raided by the representatives
of so called nursery located in a
western city. Investigation shows that
there is no nursery at that place. moth
ing but an office. and a shipping barn.
The stuff furnished on these orders is
bought ut wholesale from nurserymen
anywhere and may be true to name,
but more likely not. We have seen
some of the bills for goods thus sold
and find that from Is to 100 per cent
more is charged than the same things
guaranteed could be bought for from
the home purseryman. We are almost
tired of telling farmers to let this class
of fakes alone. Money might just as
well be burned up in the kitchen stove
as paid to them.

IT is QUALITY THAT PAYS.

Not enough attention is paid by the
average farmer to raising the best
things. 1t costs as much to raise a
scrub animal of any kind as it does to
raise the best, and the difference in the
selling price is often as much as 100
per cent. 1t is just the same With
grains, fruits and vegetables. 1t really
pays only to SOW the best seeds.
Yet how very little care is taken in the
selection and preparation of the seed!
The margin of difference between the
poor fat steer and the good fat steer
is hardly ever less than 50 per hun
dredweight and often as much as 81
The difference between a COW which
makes 12o pounds Of butter per year
and one which makes 1876 pounds is the
difference between d COW which runs
YOU into debt and one which will bring
you in net profit of over $50. The
barrel of choice apples will sell for 81
when culls of the same varieties have
to so to the cider mill. There will al
ways be ten men who will persist in
raising the poor stuff where there is
one who raises the best. Why not be
that one?

A FAMILY APPLE ORCHARD.

b
A friend writes us that he wishes to
set out a family orchard Of 100 apple
trees. He lives in northern Iowa. He
wishes us to name the varieties that
he had better plant. We give the fol-
lowing list, not that we know it to be
the very best which might possibly be
selected, but rather as one which we
think will give satisfaction. Follow
ing is the list: Fifty Wealthy, 20 North
western Greening, 10 Duchess, 5 Long
field, 5 No. co. Patterns Greening, 5
Fameuse. This will give succession
of good apples from early August until
the May following and in the event of
surplus crop he would find that the
Wealthy apple would always be sala-
BILE at good price. One suggestion
here-he should buy these trees of his
nearest reliable home nurseryman,
should dedicate the land upon which
they are planted to their exclusive use,
should give them thorough cultivation
for six years at least, should keep
vigilant watch for borers and let moth
ing in the orchard during this period
larger than hen. Doing this, he will
at the end of ten years be the owner of
an orchard worth $1,000.

TOO RADIcAI, A cRoss.

In dairy community we know Of
the attempt to make use of registered
beef sires on herds of cows Of purely
dairy types. The result is that the
men who sold these sires are being
harshly criticised because the product
is not of better beef type. The sensi-
BILE man would not expect such radi-
cal cross to give him good type Of
beef animal. The dairy breeds-Jer-
seys, Holsteins and Guernseys-are
just as prepotent as any Of the beef
breeds and therefore just as likely to
determine the character of the cross.
This is especially true SO far as the Jer-
seys are concerned, and it may be said
that no beef cross with this breed will
ever give satisfaction to the feeder.

GO SOUTH. YOUNG MAN.

AS compared with the extreme north
west section-the Canadian northwest
our own southern states offer many
points of advantage for the poor man
seeking home. Minimize as you may
the fact of extreme north latitude, the
pitiless blizzard, the 40 below zero,
these things still constitute very seri-
GUS objection to any country possessing
them; then there is the brief working
season. a five months rush in summer
and seven months Information dur
ing the winter, an i'll jointed and I'M
pleasant condition whereunder to pros
ecute firm work. The south gives,
barring the rainy days, almost the en-
tire year for the prosecution of farm
work, a greatly lessened cost for keep
of both man and beast, because of the
higher temperature. True, the soil
may be and undoubtedly is less fertile
than that of the north. but the greater
variety of products possible under the
certain humidity and warmth Of the
south is no small compensation for the
poorer quality of the soil.

MARKS AN EZRA.

The first annual banquet of the OF
tumwa Commercial association so sue
cessfully held at the Ballingall Thurs.
day evening marks an era in the in
dustr1a1 and commercial growth of OF
tumwa. The business men of Ottum-
wa have gotten together in a manner
that presages great things for the fu-
ture. The Commercial association has
been organized on broad basis that
will enable it to edo things and do
them right. Too much praise and
credit cannot be extended to the men
who have with SO much labor and eff
fort brought things about. The bust
ness men of Ottumwa have at last
come together in manner which
means that they intend to pull togetb-
er with singleness of purpose and a
determination that can not fail to &C.
complish most valuable results in the
immediate future. Ottumwa has to-
day the brightest prospects that it has
enjoyed at any time in its entire his
tory. There is here the nucleus of a
great and prosperous manufacturing
center, and with strong pull, long
pull and pull altogether, new indus
tries can be secured and developed
that will make this city of from s5,-
600 to $4,000 people in very few
years.

THE TILLMAN TRAGEDY.

The action of Lieutenant Governor
Tillman of South Carolina in shooting
Editor Gonzales is great surprise
though perhaps not an unlocked for &C.
currence to those who are acquainted
with the circumstances of the affair.
What the difference between these two
men were, is not generally known
Under no circumstances, however, can
the attack be construed otherwise than
vicious and cowardly, though it was
upon man with whom the offender
was known to have been at variance
for many months. Apparently Mr.. Till
man is a man Of strong prejudices and
passions. This has been indicated at
different times during his public life.
Too, he is man of very little self re-
straint and with either no power or
desire to control his sudden impulses,
That man occupying an office of
honor and trust in one of the states of
this union should SO forget himself as
awares is a matter of regret and one
that demands the most rigid admin
stration of justice. Such deed by
whomever it may be committed is a
travesty upon the laws of the land and
the one who is found guilty of such
crime is dangerous to the contisuity
OF our free institutions and to the safe
ty and liberty of our people. The fact
that he was man elected to office
by the suffrage of the people, chosen
by them to administer and enforce the
laws which he has broken, makes his
case one which should demand the
most rigid examination and administra-
ton of the laws. He has broken the
laws OF the state, outraged the con
fidence of the people and to them,
through the courts, he should be made
to answer for his actions.
