Butchering is one of the "or

the weather having been fine for
that purpose.
Have you got your oats ground
plowed and well pulverized? If
not, why not? The ground
should now be in condition to
retain all moisture that may fall
on it. If your ground is in such
condition, don't fail to go over it
with the harrow as soon as the
surface of the soil is dry enough
to work nicely after each and
every rain. Then remember
that oats are not drilled in early
enough in this country, as a rule.
We are fully convinced that
there is something wrong with
the present method of selecting
jurymen. Some way should bo
devised that every qualified vot
er should bo compelled to take
ins turn in serving his country
as jurymen. As it now is, there
are some who serve at nearly
every term of court. Tin's looks
entirely too much like "profes
sional jurymen." For instance,
we have been informed that for
the past five or six years C. W.
Compton, John Doyle and Geo.
Coffin have served every year in
that capacity. Wny not begin
at somr point on the list and
continue to the point of begin
ning and give each one a two
week's turn. In some such a
way no one would be compelled
to serve oftcner than every four
or five yfiivs. Then every one
would carry his share of the burden.
