The insect family is increasing
at an alarming rate. Almost with
out an exception, there is q pes
for everything you try to grow.
You either have to "pizen, 'em OF
catch 'em and kill 'em. But, like
the dead-beat, they come as fast a.
you get rid Of 'em.
Have you comfortable fortune!
If you have, you'd better try to
increase it tenfold. for the time il

We notice that shallow breaking
of crop land is still in vogue with
too many so-called farmers. We
have no authority to dictate to
lslovenly farmers; but. for the sake
of sunshine and rain. you ought to
break your land deeper. Tie a
weight to the tail of your 300
pound pony and go twice in the
same furrow, If you can't do it any
other way. Break your land at
least six inches deep. or else get a
forked stick and follow the oriental
style of plowing.
Mr.. 2. B. Demonstration passed

ing nice looking iron gray horse
hitched to nice buggy with a
pretty red whip and plush lap
robe. Now, that's complimentary

he has completed the job nicely.
Parnell's success is not due to
good luck;" but it is due to hard
licks and a strict adherence to
economy. And we might add, that
he is no fool. Looks are often de-

We contemplate sailing for Japan
about the first or middle of the
future. But some one may say.
What 10 the thunder are you 60
ing to Japan for?" Well, we are
reliably informed that the Japanese
are strictly honest. The traveller
need entertain no fear of being
robbed or swindled while he min
giles with the Japs. It's worth a
voyage across the briny dee just
to see one nation that has a princi-
pie that other nations would do
well to emulate. If these wonder.
full United States would make a
severe penalty for any one to steal
or swlndle, and the law be strictly
enforced, then about nine-tenths of
the people would have To change
their tactics.
Could we have a little say"
about the financial questions of the
day? Well, we'll say it anyway !!
Much obliged to you, Mr.. Coleman,
for the figures on county expenses.
But we don't feel obliged to any
