' Don't forget this; We were gently, but most frankly informed Saturday by one our subscribers that he wished his paper discon tinued; that he intended to order every newspaper, to which he is now a subscriber, discontinued when his sub STlptiou exoires. Upon be- ing questioned a to Ids mo tivefor so doing 4e gave as tttv excuse that he had not the time to go to the-poMnl' lice for Ills mull. He wild that he oould not get time to go butfrtbout)om'e per month. This gentleman for all we kmlw, may be a 'business man and has not the time to go for his mall, as the distance to bis postofRfe in four miles, but we cannot imagine how be i to navigafo when he doe not subscribe for any papers.

Aswe sitinour lonely sane turn . sanctorium with bun dreds of books, magazines and newspaper;- coming in weekly, and, as we contemplate the many humiliations td which such a man will, from ignor ance caused by not reading, be subjected, we are constrained to drop a tear. -God save this man. We have long sinceealized that it is impossible tb please everybody, but we "feel very grateful to those wiio have spoken so kindly of tlie man agement of the Watchman. The Watchman is undoubted ly fast Kaiiiimr in nonularitv. and we confidently expect a big increase in circulation in the near future.

Hut stop, weare wronf there has been something else, abuse of the most dis gusting sort, of every man whose course did iiJt happen to please him. Ndt Populism but Watsonism is his test for n i Can f if - Wide v. Narrow Corn Rcw. Farmers in this vicinity fre cpiently plant their corn, for one stalk in a hill, four feet each way, thus giving an av erage of about sixteen square feet fqr each stalk of corn. Thus arranged, counting 100 ..... In an acre will produce a little over 27 bushels. - Now if the rowji e eight feet apart and the stalks one foot apart Ih the drill we will have a stalk for every eight square feet, Cdiirtequently there will be double the nutm ber of stalks with the pupae Ity for over 54 bushels per acre, It ha heretofore been shown that eoru, planted In drills three feet apart aud seven Inches In drill on laud that was heavily fertilised and thoroughly brpken to sixteen inohes deep, eared well producing bushels amltwo(jiarts puacre. Then' was a stalk here for every H sqiuire feet (not feet equare.j a . . i a ': m At this rate an acre Will con tain over four and a half times as many stalks as the 8 feet rows. Consequently corn should never bje so plant ed as to contain more than square feet for each stalk of corn. As the land becomes richer the distance in the drill may be reduced tb 6 in ches, thus raising the capac ity bf an acre to 108 bushells. An important advantage of the 8 feet roiws is that at least ! li If I three times the quantity of loose earth can be prepared for each stafk of corn that can be if the same number of stalks be planted in 4 feet roWs. A strip from two to three feet midway between the wide rows may tie ploughed deep at every ploughing, Uius af fording a much needed pro tecthm against drouth.

Another important advan tage is that peas can be dril led and cultivated, there be ing alternately a row of corn and a row of peas, which will reduce the rows to four feet. If the corp be planted early in the season and the peas not later than the 10th of June they will, at most, be in each others way but very little and consequently very near ly. or ttuite a full crop of each can be grown. In the fall proper measures should be adopted for turning under the cornstalks and pea vines. The corn of coulee will have to he properly fertilised.

It seems that the present edi tor of the Watchman is about the only one who has taken enough interest in his readers to keep them thoroughly posted on matters that con cern the public. We approve heartily of the editor's course and we bespeak for him the solid support of the Alliance and Populist party of llowau county. The Watchman Should be in the hands of every self-respecting citizen of the county. It is brimfull of good reading matter every week. It is the only paper in the county published in the interest of the common peo ple. Let us all rally to the support of the Watchman. Wi LSON. Cleveland Pick-Upd.
