Let Him Rest.

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead, who never to himself hath said,
s'my trade Of late is getting bad; LII
try another ten inch ad.: II such
there be 60 mark him we'll. for him
no bank account shall swell; no angel
to watch the golden stair, to welcome
him a millionaire. The man who
never asks for trade, by ad or local
line displayed, cares more for rest
than worldly gain, and patronage
give him but pain. Trade lightly
friends, let no rude sound disturb
his solitude profound. Here let him
lie in calm repose, unsought except
by men he owes. And when he dies
go plant him deep that naught may
break his dreamless sleep; where no
rude clamor can dispel the quiet
that ho loved 80 we'll. And that the
world may know it's loss, place on
bis grave wreath Of moss; and on a
stone above: "Here lies a chump
that wouldn't advertise" -"

Some Plain Talk.

So many letters have appeared in
the newspapers lately, pro and con-
regarding the treatment of ex-Presi,
dent Jefferson Davis while a captive
that am surprised one saliant fea-
ture has hitherto escaped comment,
and rely upon your liberal journal
to print what I now desire to place
before the fair minded people Of
America bearing upon the manacling
of the distinguished prisoner Of war.
The Roman corqueror loaded his
captive Kings with chains (some
times of gold; but still ohaius) to
grace his triumph. We must go
back 1900 years or near it, to the
day when the valiant British Prince
Caractacup, in Chains, graced
triumph in Rome. Cleopatra only
saved herself by the asp from glori-
flying in chains, the triumph OF Octa-
vius. But this is ancient history. In
modern times, cruel and vindlcti7e
as we're the British to the fallen lion,
Napoleon, and although they, in their
terror of him, condemned him to 9
living death yet he was never put in
cheint!
It remained for the United States
of America, through their duly con-
stituted authorities, to do a thing un-
precedented in modern times, the
chaining, like convict, of the leader
of brave cause, whose rights or
wrongs are Eot now in question.
The brutal treatment of the aged
and infrmed statesman and soldier
by hired blacksmith Tor hired SER
geant, or general-it dosen't matter
which, to my argument) was deed
which should have brought then, and
should bring now, the blush OF
shame to every man north of the
Mason and Dixon line, who count
enanced, or who countenances, this
outrage against the amenities OF
honorable warfare, and against the
courtesy due to a soldier, statesman
and gentleman, and through him
to a brave, though conquered people.

Corn Cultivation.

Ames, Iowa, April S.--rhe au-
thorities of the Iowa Agricultural
College, ct this place, the institution
which started the movement for i'm
proved methods in raising CORP, are
beginning to wonder what sort Of
copfsgration they have kindled.
The entire corn producing country
of the West has taken up the advice
of Professor Philip Graham Holden,
with the result that there is serious
talk of the possibility Of adding a
billion bushels to the annual pro-
duction before two more crops are
gathered.
Last year Iowa added shout 49,
100000 bushels to her corn crop by
following Holders advice. Now the

More Hay.

Two children were praising the
pluck of dogs.
"A good dog" said one, ''has the
same kind of pluck that old Jerome
McWade used to show.
He was a farmer, seventy years
old, but still hale and hearty. One
morning he and his two sons got to
wrangling over their strength, and
Jeroms declared that he could load
quite as fast as they pitch it.
$50 to the fields they went, and
Jerome got into a hay wagon with
his fork, and the two boys down be-
low began to pitch the hay up to
him as fast as they could pitch it.
The old man stood up to bis work
stoutly. He loaded with lightning
speed, and all the while he kept call
ing down: More hay! More hay!' ,
The boys worked hard. Their
youth told in their favor. Old Jerome
got to loading more and more un-
tidly. Still as be scrambled about
on top of the uneven mounds he
continued to shout, More hay!
Gall of sudden he tripped as he
dug in his fork and fell from the
wagon to the ground.
"'Ah,' said his eldest son, what
are you doing down here?'
jerome as be rose answered:
81 came down for more hay"

other corn States are learning the
lessons, and the same ratio OF in
crease is expected to be carried into
all the rest of the Western corn
country. What will be the effect on
the crop end prices Of corn end of
corn products?
The railroads are doing most CT
the work of disseminating the good
farming doctrine. They are running
special ''seed corn trains" all over the
corn country. Experts in corn cul-
ture lecture to the assembled farm
ers at every station, telling them
how to test, plant and cultivate their
corn.
