The Corn Crop Miggcstions In Season-. ' Sotes. Tbe corn crop is tbe most important crop grown in this country, for the rea son that it gives not only a large amount cf grain but also a larger proportion of long food than any other. No matter how low a price corn may reach in the future, its value as a "combination" crop will always make it desirable on the farm. It thrives on a greater vari ety of soils and over a larger extent of territory than any other staple crop, and is a substitute for many articles that cannot be produced in some sections. It is almost exclusively an American plant and 1. a source of wealth and a security against famine, and places this country in a position to "which no rival can attain. The very ease with which it is grown, and its adaptability to nearly all sections, have caused much carelessness in its cultivation. To prop erly cultivate a crop of corn means to thoroughly clean the land of weeds aud grass. Corn should therefore be grown in rotation with other crops, and the labor bestowed in its cultivation should not be charged wholly to the corn crop, but also to the succeeding crop. There are several modes of laying off and cul tivating corn, but in this section the "check-row" system is in general use. as it permits of cultivating the crop in two directions. The most important matter is good seed, and it should be of a variety that has been tried in the the neighborhood where tbe crop is to be grown, as some varieties do best in certain sections only. Next in import ance is plenty of manure, as tbe crop is a gross feeder and grows rapidly. The young plants should receive more culti vation when just beginning to make headway than later oc, in order to gain a good send-off before tbe dry season (should it happen) shall come on. Some farmers do not workthe corn thoroughly, allowing grass and weeds to make pro gress before going into tbe Qeld with tbe cultivator. A corn crop should always be kept clean. The grass and weeds should be killed as soon as high enough to be seen. There are two reasons for S3 doing. One is that the seeds of weeds and grass are induced to germinate by frequent cultivation, thus destroying a larger number, hs well as avoiding the seeding of thos that get ahead of the corn. Another reason for frequent cul tivation is that by keeping the ground loose the tine earth serves a a mulch and prevents, to a certain extent, a loss of moisture from the soil, as well as rendering the plant food of tbe toll more soluble. Corn may be planted now, and the cultivation should begin as soon as ths corn can be seen in tbe rows. The Apprentice ystcm. I A very serious question confronts the American youth under tbe existing re stnctive system of apprenticeship. What is to become of the millions of boys, who, having finished going to school, are looking about for something to do ? It does no; matter how anxious parents may be to have their boys learn a trade, nor how willing the boys may be to serve an apprenticeship at any of tbe industrial pursuits, they And it im possible to get places, because the labor organizations will not permit it to e done, save ia a very limited way. One would suppose that tbe workmen them selves, who are almost always blest with families of vigorous boys and girls, would so modify the restrictive features in their constitution as to enable their children to learn trades if they are so disposed. As it ia, the mechanics of ibis couutry native mechanics, we mean are becoming scarce; and the the places which they should occupy : bting taken by mechanics from across the sea. Toe result is. the American boys are deprived of an opportunity to acquire mechanical skill, and are per force, driven into overcrowded profes ssons, for tbe filling of which they may have no qualifications whatever, or they are compiled to take to day laboring, or to live upon iheir wits. Something ought to be douo to remedy this. It U worth the best thought of men like Towderly, who have close at heart th velfare of the toiling classes, to work ut a rem-Jy for all this. American ;oys ought to have a chance to grow up -3 skilled mechanic, and not tx com pelled to eat the bread of idleness, and fcome unless, if not langerous mem- srs of society.

Don't expect too much from those around. It is nothing to begin ; perseverance Is everything. Listen to both sides or a question be fore you decide. Ton will not be loved if you care for none but yourself. If you are prospering in yonr business do not make too moch show. There is no place so high that an uss laden with gold cannot reach it. A man can see bis way Into a fight better than be can see his way out. Talents are matured best in solitude, bat character is a tempestuous sea. When respiration ceases our education is finished but not a moment sooner. Strength is like gunpowder ; to be ef fective it needs concentration and aim. The world does not abound in places for people who have little or no money. The thing which we do not mean to say is frequently the thing that is said. A debt of gratitude is too often com promised at about ten cents on 4 dollar. Avoid giving offense and if you do offend have tbe manliness to apologize. Learning without thought li labor lost ; thought without learning is peril ous. Keep your word, be honest, and con sider a good name as equivalent for capital. It is belter to be discarded without ceremony than being endured with pa tience. There is nothing that so refines tbe face and mind as tbe presence of great thoughts. It is not enough to keep tbe poor in mind ; give them something to keep yju in mind. A higher morality, like a hiarher in teligence. must be reached by a slow growth. Don't carry the whole world on your shoulders, far less the universe. Trust the Eternal. He that has a little knowledge is far more likely to get more than he that has none. Honor U better than wealth. To Abolish Dishrrashln'. Tbe suggestion that such table ware. plates, cups and saucers, nutter dishes. etc.. as are washed after each meal, be manufactured of paper and sold so cheaply that tht-y can be destroyed efier nsing, is having a wide circulation In the papers now, though it has been talked among tbe other possibilities of the development of paper material for as long as tth rears and it was suggest ed ia a paper read before a young ladies' society a year or so ago when house keeping waf being discussed. A good many hard working house, wives will condemn tbe notion as "shiftless" and scorn the idea of being afraid of tbe wotk of washing dishes which its adoption might suggest. Nevertheless it is likely to come along with the train ot labor-saving improv ements that modern inventive genius has made possible, and it is a wonder that some effort has not been made to put the idea into practice. Tbe dishes could be made quite as handsoma and attrac tive as tbe china and eartbern ones now nsed and the amonnt of tedious labor and expense, too, that might be saved would be beyond calculation. Labor saving expedients do not neccessarily imply laziness, and no housekeeper will fail to find useful employment for her self or ber aervanta In tbe time saved from the drudgery of dishwashing. Let us have paper dishes by all means. There's millions in it for some enterpris ing manufacturer. Tke Mare ia Foal. It is a common but erroneous idea that mares in foal should not be work ed. It is better both for the mare and tbe future foal that the mare be given moderate work op to a month before foaling, and if tbe work be continued np to wltbin a week of tbe foaling it is fully as well. Tbe same rule will apply to all domestic animals. Tbey should be allowed ample range for daily exer cise during tbe time of carrying tbe youog. Tbe time for rest Is when tbe animal is suckling the young. At this time it is altogether better both for the mare and tbe teal that the dam have full liberty and that she be kept on grass. Tbe svstem remains normal and cool, and, although some foal may be lost, health is recuperated and tbe flesh is saved from any complications arising from feverish milk, always more or less present when tbe mare is obliged to labor daily in addition to supporting tbe foal. Cape Cod Driniog Into the Sea. "It seems only a question of time, and that not so remarkably far distant, when tbe whole of Cape Cod be!ow Well fleet will drift into tbe ssa and lose itself. Less than 100 years have passed since a lighthouse was placed here by tbe Government. Tn original purchase included a plot of land cen acres in extent. At the present time this inclosure embraces barely six acres. Tbe wiis'.e is steady, gradual and cer tain, it never builds up and the sat is moving slowly but surely in land. At points where there is little or no bod to hold tbe lighter sod beneath, the wind gets a Arm bold aud lends Its aid to the efforts of tbe ssa and rain. On a point just north of the marine stations at Highland Light the face of tbe bluff has moved inland 200 feet daring the past five years. With tbe present rate of waste in thirty years the lighthouse will stand on a dangerous fonndatioa." The best way to improve a light sandy soil is to put on all the vegetable matter you can, either in the form of muck from swamps, or by turning nnder peas, buckwheat clover or some similar crop. If tbe land is veay porous more or less of tbe fertilizing matariala ap plied will sink out of reach of ordinary crops. 1 our main point is to get tbe land full of vegetaole matter, not only to increase its fertility, tut to make it bold moisture in summer. How Indians Fish. The two Indians were going to show ns their method of catching trout and salmon. Tbe stream runs between steep mountains, is very rocky and the current quite swift. The water was icy cold and clear as crystal. It was alive with small trout and tbe big boles were well filled with salmon, or salmon trout, ranging from 5 to 12 pounds. How I did ache for my split bamboo, which I had foolishly left down in the valley. These fish, from the smallest to tbe largest, would take tbe fly or any kind of bait readily. Steiger proved this by losing fly books to two of tbe big fellows, but he captured a nice lot of tbe smaller ones, ranging from half a pound down. He stopped when he bad enough, but I verily believe five hundred could easily be taken in a day by tbe industrious and unsciupulous trout-bog. The Indians were fishing for themselves and of course we could not prevent tbem from using tbeir reg ular methods of taking all tbe fish in their power, which tbey salt and dry for futnre use. While not sportsmanlike, it was decidedly Interesting. Tbey first select a suitable bole with fish enough to be an object. In this ease it was about two hundred yards long, thirty feet wide and vaiying in depth to ten feet. At the bottom, lazi ly swimming around were a number of big Ssb. From a sack Johnnie pro duced two light gill nets, which were stretched across the stream about forty yards apart. Then be produced tbe tips of a spear, which were bound to a strong willow pole. These tips when thrust into a fish come off tbe pole, but are held by buckskin 6tr:ps. Xor we are ready for business. Hocks are thrown into tbe water and the startled fish dart about, and in a moment tbe floats of a net are jerked violently under the water. The fish writhes ana twists, tangling himself up hopelessly and is soon taken out by bis dusky captors. Sometimes a heavy fish would break the net and escape, but not often. After a number bad been caught this way the frightened fish hid under the rocks and sulked. Then the spear came into play, several being taken. On receiving the barbs tbey would struggle violently, and beicg hauled out by main strength and awkwardness would make a good fight. Most of tbe big fish bad now taken refuge under large rocks in tbe deepest part, and were clear out of sight. Then one of the Indians stripped off and with a small net, eighteen Inches in diame ter, in tbe mouth of which was bent a willow pole, making it resemble tLe or dinary landing net, he slipped quietly into the almost freezing cold water and disappeared under a large lock. I held my breath in amazement, and after he tad oeen under nearly a minute, I con cluded he bad drowned. But, bo ; away down a dark mass came slowly out, and quickly rose to the surface. With a snort bis head popped up. while in tbe net under his arm a twelve pound fifth was struggling. He crawl ed out shivering and after a sun bath was ready for another plunge. Along tbe bank for thirty feet was a shelving rock under which -everal fish bed taken refuge. Propelling himself along frog fashion, the Indian cleared it out at one dive, catching one fish and driving out the rest. Thus they keep at work, until, after about three hours work, not a fish was eft in the hole that would weigh as much as a pound. Tbey canght about four hundred pounds of these fish on this trip. During the height of the fishing season the Indians from the reservation visit this streams by tripes, and for miles entirely clear tbe river of fish. They are also quite expert with book and line, using venison for bait. Mr. Steiger presented one of tbem with a number of handsome fly books. He looked at them in a comical way, then took out bis knire and deliberately trimmed tbe fly off clean, saying that be didn't care for any of tbo"e new fangled fixin's ; venison was good enough for him. Farming Under Low and High rariff. Congressman Knute Xelson. of Min nesota, made some telling points in bis speech on the tariff last week. We do not wonder that Mr. Nelson's Republi can associates tried to bowl him down. His departure from the usual Republi can line on the tariff was calculated to make tbe dry bones rattle, and it did. One of tbe most Interesting portions of his speech was tha; which referred to the low-tariff period from 1S4G to 1SG0. Mr. Nelson referred to the well-known fact that during the operation of the Walker tariff tbe country enjoyed tbe greatest general prosperity it has ever known. No class of our population re alized more decided benefits from that tariff than the farmers. In those days the money of tho country was in the bands of the farmers. Strange as it may seem now, it was a common thing for merchants to borrow money from their country customers. The average yield of cotton then was not much over three bales to tbe baud. How does the case stand now ? The average yield of cotton is at least three times as much to the hand as it was be tore tha war. The price of cotton is better on the aver age than it was then. And yet we now have poverty and morgages among the farmers instead of the prosperity and wealth which they enjoyed in the low tariff period. This is in spite of the fact'tbat heir labor now co3ts them lees, that is ou an average three times as productive as it was then. Ota, Wbat a C'onrh. Will you heed the warning.
