The Pension Question.

We trust our old soldier COM
rades viii not expect too much of
the pension Office in the adjust
ment Of claims under the act of
Feb. 9th. Some viii get their
claims allowed early and some
later, but all win get them in due
time. There viii be no deficit in
the treasury because of the al.
lowance and payment Of claims.
OF course we don't know that
Congress has refused to tinker
with the lowering of tariff or tar
III schedules for the purpose Of
providing funds for just such an
act, but this we do know, that
the non-action of Congress on the
tariff has resulted in just such a
condition of the treasury, that
tile government can well afford
the extra expense this act will
incur. We have believed all
along that this was one of the
reasons for the stand pat" pol
icy Of Congress and the admins
tration upon this subject. Whe.
fher we were correct in our be.
lief or not, the result has JUST.
fed our belief. This is why we
have said time after time that
Congress will not NEEDLE with
the tariff this session. The dc.
tenders Of the nation in '61-'65
made il possible for the country
to become as rich and prosperous
and powerful as il is today, and
the nation that is increasing In
wealth at the rate of $40, 900, OOC
every day ia the year can well
afford TO be not only just, but
generous 10 its defenders. The
government preserved by the
veterans Of the civil war, is both
just and generous to everybody
the best government God
ever youchsafed to man" VIZ
presume to make this prediction
further, that the next Congress
will amend the present law, Civ.
ing to totally disabled veterans
$50 per month, and will equalizt
the widows pension, giving al
widows S12 per month. These
items are 50 obviously just and
right that a generous govern.

country was never IN a better
condition than it is now and so Il
viii continue as long as the pre-.
sent policy prevails. There il
no better way to extend and con.
tinue the abundance Of money
among the people than by the
circulation Of pension money.

EDTroR Rich HUI TRiHuNE;
There is perhaps at this time
no question Of greater interest or
of more vital Importance to west.
ern Missouri, and Bates county
especially, than the progression
and Improvement of our greatest
staple corn. It's annual value
in dollars and cents exceeding
that Of any other crop grown.
Intelligent farmers and corn
growers every where now recog-
nize that the same care should be
exercised in the selection of seed
corn as though choosing a strain
of thoroughbred stock.
The climate, soil and location
all combine to make the county
of Bates the foremost in the state
in the production of corn if our
farmers will but become enthus-
ed on the question. for there is
no denying the fact that we are
many years behind practical and
progressive corn producers Of
other sections. The best seed
corn in the world will be unsatis-
factory however, unless the man
who prepares the seed bed and
manipulates the cultivator does
his part in full.
The observation of the writer
is that the surface of the ground
is too much neglected; by that
we mean it should be stirred
often, not by deep cultivation
with large shoyels, but by six or
eight small shovel cultivators.
Twice each weeks not too much.
The cause of our soil pudding is
that it swells or contracts ac-
cording to amount of moisture,
hence the invaluable use of the
disc harrow for pulverization, to
dry the soil if too wet and to hold
the moisture if too dry.
Almost every field would be
better by being disced eight or
ten times before planting. II is
the easiest mode for a satisfac-
tory yield, besides the crop is
fully half cultivated before the
seed is put in the ground.
The writer has experimental
a great deal on corn culture in
Bates county soil. Our most
satisfactory method has been
with the Lister, although much
is to be done prior to the using
of that implement. In the first
place we never allow stock to
make a track in the field and as
soon as practicable cut the stalks
thoroughly, then make good use
of the disc and harrow until
planting season, going over the
ground ten or twelve times il
possible, then put the lister to
work. First remove the drop.

Forests Unnatural Death.

The life of nearly all forests is cut
short Sy fire or by the hand Of the
lumberman. When spruce forest is
entirely destroyed by fire young
spruces do not at once spring up and
cover the burned area. The seed bear
ing cones have been burned, and the
spores and seeds of other plants which
are readily carried by the wind find
their way in first. The task Of prepar-
ing for the forest is begun again, but
this time it is to be a shorter one. The
first year after the fire MOSES and
often tiny Towering plants appear.
These are replaced by the fireweed
and other flowers whose seeds are pro.

such places quickly. These are soon
