Then the surface will not ; dry out nor be eloddy, but be in the' condition which will produoa best ' Buckwheat. Buckwheat ia re garded as a crop for poor land, but it does best under favorable con- itionr. The blossoms provid i ex cellent forage for the baes to work upon- and it is also regarded as a very appropriate crop for plowing under. It is a summer crop and shades the land, the yield of graio, however, seldom paying for the seed and labor on poor land, it being used mostly for turning under while in blossc m. Breeding Sows. The tgk for breeding yonDg sows has baen demonstrated by the Mississippi experiment station. Yoang sows should not be bred until 1 year old, for a sow can not make a lit ter of pigs and grow at tbe same time, according to their repcrt. The early maturing breeds in the West mature at 8 and 10 months old when properly fed. and are f ten bred before a year old, but breeding too young injures tbe amiua. Clover Seed If the farmer wants a crop of clover seed, he should cut the first crop as early as possible. ; The clover p'ant is a biennial. That means that it takes two years for it to blossom and seed. Now.: if the first crop is al- ed to stand until it blossoms, and the seed commences to form, there will be but very little seed in the second crop. The point is, to turn all the seeding instinct and power of the root into the second crop. Henca, the necessity of cut ting the first crop much earlier than is usually done, when it is cut for hay alone. Hoard's Dairy man. Plowing Under Green Crops. "We now immense croDs of bz- gar weed, a nitrogenous plant. In what stage should it .be plowed under, green or dead?" It is a rule which has hardly any excep tions that, a crop which is to be plowed under to enrich the soil should be turned under about the time it is in full bloom. It then contains more vegetable matter than at any other period. At a ittle later stage, the plant may oontain a trifle more nitrogen, pot ash and pbosphorio acid, but it will also contain more ripened seeds, and other seeds will have ripened. In the interest of clean culture, as well as of green manur ing, we would, therefore, plow under during or just after full bloom. To Cure Hoo Cholzra. An ex change Bays ; that every paper in the United States, ought occasion ally to keep the fact before its readers that burnt com is a sure aud speedy cure for hog cholera. The best way is to make a pile of corn on the cob, effectually scor t, and then give the hogs free ac cess to it. I his remedy was dis covered by E. E. Locke, Esq , at the time his distillery was burned in mis country, together with a arge quantity of stored corn, which was so much injured as to be unfit for use, and ! was hauled out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily. After the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The remedy has been tried in a number of sases since, and never failed. Wby Thxy Leavk thk Farm. Why have the boys and girls left the farm? The question has been asked in many a lonely farm house in our country.

Editor Rwcbucas-Will you kind ly inform me under what law, or by what authority the Sheriff is required or even permitted to garnishee: the wages of boys from 16 to 18 years old. I always thought that men and not boys were liable for poll taxes, and that they must be 21 years old before they were liable. . J. II. S. Tgsj Repcbtjcax knows of no law that requires the collection ofisxes, by garnishee or otherwise, from boys un der age as stated above, unless it is the law ot might rather than right. It is a burning shame that the wages of women, and boys in knee breeches, should be held for taxes, often causing hunger and j suffering among helpless children by tbe delay. A little more consideration for the rights of tax pay ers might remedy the trouble. I'REt SILVER AAD SOI 1 A L- . ; ism. - . Free silver, according to Eugene V. Debs, is a dead issue in politics. The "MoBed" of the industrial mass es, who was one of the principal speakers and workers for Bryan and tbe Democratic ticket in the last campaign, has left that stand srd. In an interview in Chicago, June 23rd, be said that a majority of the free: silver men would : take the i atoe cturse in the next cam paign! He looks for them to'turn toward the new socialistic move ment Which he champions. "The free-silver movement has spent jits force," said Debs. "It will never again be so important as an iasUej The socialistic move ment,; represented by the Social Democracyj of America, will cut into the free-silver ranks and leave that partyl practically powerless for the future. Tho principle of free-silver is along the lines of eo ciahsm. A large proportion of the vote cast for Bryan at the last cam paign came from socialists. They voted for him because he came nearest to representing their views. At the next campaign socialism will be a great issue before the peo ple. It is more advanced in the line of progression, and the silver people will find their cause merged in thii." - i This is the .question in a nut shell, pur Democratic friends will have tjo meat it, and it looks like they Swill need to decide early which horti of the dilemma thev ill choose. They are at the part ing ot the; way. if they choose free-silver and populism then Debs and tbe Socialistic element turn their backs! upon them.

Pl.KOiiKS BKI.U RAPIDLY KEDEE.MED. Citizens : of the United States who want tb brush up their know ledge? of political history in their own Country would find an inter esting method in comparing the progress made by the Republican party in 1S97 in carrying out the pledges of its platform with the records of preceding administra tiona. The pledges of the platform it will be remembered, were an honest effort ia favor of interna tional bimetallism, a reform of the tariff, a reform of the currency system, the protection of American citizens lniunba, and tne restora tion if possible, of peace there, and the control of the Hawaiian Islands by the United Statoi Every one of thesa pledges has been, either! carried out or is so far under way as to render success highly probable. A commission has been sent abroad to negotiate for iuternatioi al bimetallism : the doors of Cuban prisons have been opened to American citizens who were confined therein ; the general Cuban policy is being outlined in awajr to insure improvement In the conditions iu that unhappy land , a Hawaiian annexation treaty has been signed; recommendation for a currency commission to prepare plans for a general revision of the currency system will be sent to Congress as soon as the tariff bill passes, and the protective-tariff measure is likely to be a law within a fortnight.

Since the visit of President Mc Kinley and the newspaper men to Biltmore, there has been renewed interest in Mr. Vanderbilt's garden of Eden.

The park is more than twice tae size of. Atlanta, coiitaiiiiiig About 13,000 acres, and the hutting preserve, reaching to Mount PiFgah, contaitB 125,000 acres, or I9o square milee.

The mountain laurels grows beside the rhododendron, and the honoy-suckle interlocks its foliage with rarer vines along the borders.

The farms and gardens, conservatories and dairies, are conducted on the most approved scientific plan, and the horses are cared for by the, best of trainers and crooms. Theemployets of the estate, about 600 in number, are the most con tented of people. They are well paid and not overworked. For their benefit All Soul's Church was built. Mr. Vanderbilt presented it to the parish, and pays the preacher, the organist, the chorister aud a choir of 35 people. Nevertheless, collec tions are taken every buuday, and when he 13 thero, Mr. anderbilt officiates as a vestryman aud hands round the plate.

He has a number of Assistants and tbe trees are nursed like plants. Every year a certain proportion are culled to maae room for growth. "Arboretum Road," now b ing constructed and planted, .will be lined with trees, including every known species that will grow in this climate. It will tske years to complete the work, but when done it will be a beautiful object lesson. The forestry of the hunting prey serve will sot a pattern for this kind of work in America. The pre serve has bears, deer, pheasants', and other game of the region, and is being stocked with other birds and animals. Mr. Vanderbilt chosothis site as , one of tho most beautiful in the world. The picturesque beauty of the mountain region is made de lightful by the peculiar stimula ting quality of th-j atmosphere. Its dryness and bracing coolness make it a tonic equal to champagne.
