Otto FAUSET,...Krohoe, Burleson Co TThtt Is Corn! Why everybody knows. Are you sure of that ? Yes, it is this common article grown in the field which we feed to stock and grind into meal. And yet that is not corn. It is maize Indi an maize indigenous to Amer ica. Com is the comprehensive name of every grain used as food for man or beast. This is what the books, the big diction aries and learned encyclopedias tell usj but as the people in this country outside of classic Bos ton arc a notch or two higher in authority than books howev er huge in size and title, they will be mighty apt to continue saying corn, oats, rye, barley and wheat, and will perfectly understand each other when do ing so. To Destroj. Cotton Worm. Bruosrilot.) Mr. J. R. Fenn, of Areola, Fort Bend county recently gave Capt. Fowlkcs the following in formatiin about how to destroy cotton worms: Mix one Tint of Paris Green with thirty pints of flour and one pound of rosin. When the worms make their appearance, sprinkle this mixture on the cotton plants every morning, commencing about 10 o'clock. The use or it is not dangerous, but Mr. Fenn recommends a good bath after handling it, to "prevent injurious effects to the person. He says he used it last season with entire satisfaction; says he madqon oyster creek, a bale of- cotton to the acre, while his neighbors who did not destroy the worms made only 'about one-eighth of a crop. We learn from Captain Fowlkes that Mr. Fenn is perfectly re liable. We suggest that the farmers of this county preserve the recipe, and give it a trial whenever the worm makes his appearance. Patent Chickens. Roral Yorld. The business of chicken or" poultry raising is likely to be completely.revolutionized with in the next year or two, A chicken factory of the most suc cessful pattern is now in exis tence in St Louis county. The gentlemen conducting it have been quietly at work for the past few years, perfectinga self- regulating lamp which furnishes the heat for the incubating pro cess. In a short time the pat ent apphed for will be furnished, and then the public will be in vited out to witness how 5.co chickens or more (all orphans) can be turned out every six weeks, all the year round. Spring chickens will no longer be a costly luxury at any time of the year. There is such an establishment now in successful operation in a New Jersey town, not far from New York, and the operators say they can't turn out chickens enough to supply the demand. The New Jersey establishment lacks, however, the self-regulaling heating ap paratus inventedliy the St Lou is boys a matter that saves a good deal of labor and expense, and a valuable acquisition in connection with the business. Sowing Rvek Cnnv Tf far mers will sow one-half bushel of winter rye to the acre in their com, and plow it in the last time, it will not 'only have a ten dency to choke out the weeds that -start up afterward, but there will be no danger of dry murrain among cattle from eat ing too freely of dry stalks, as the rye will remain green through the winter, and will be xaten by stock in preference to the corn fodder. It makes a desirable feed for all kinds of stock, and aids materially in the quality and. quantity of milk produced, besides proving a saving of from one to two tons of hay for every acre sown ; and last, but not least, it affords a green crop to plow under in the spring, which will renew and enrich the land. Rural World, "Why do girls elope?" is the very interesting query put by a contemporary. Well, there are various reasons, the principal cues oeing mat me girls are dis pleased with the way their mothers do housework, and some girls have an idea that they can support husbands. And agood many of them have to do it, too. Not one woman in seven hun dred and thirty-three will admit that she reads the advertisments in the papers, and yet let the merchant advertise cheap prints and the whole female population become apprised of it simultan eously. It is funny how they get the news. The Ontario Fruit Growers' Association agreed that the yellows in peach trees is a xon tagious disease and that every tree showing signs of the disease should be rooted up and burnt They favored steps being taken by the government to stamp out the disease. In the Salt Lake City flats appears this sign -'IRing the top bell for the oldest wife." HAT. Rural New Yorker. The much thai has been said and written about the value of early cut hay has unquestionably had its influence upon the practice of many, if not all larmers. ine current of opinion has been chanced, and there are few who do not now hold, at least in the ory, that early-cut hay is best, thouehsomcyetdoubtits being, on the whole, the most profita ble. But no great step in advance can be taken in regard to a sin gle matter without its being re vealed that many other things must be made to keep step with it, in order, that the expected benefit may He realized. The mowinc machines called for smooth fields. " The importation of improved domestic animals necesitated better housing, feed ing and care. The new meth ods of setting milk for cream cannot yield their full advantage' without more care in milking and in making butter. And so it is with regard to the early cutting of hay ; before it can be put in practice with the surety ol reaping all its advantages, wc must abandon some old ideas and take in some new ones. We must cease to look.upon the grass crop as the free gift of.na turc, and begin to regard it 'as a cultivated crop; one not to be stolen Irom the ground after a full yield of grain, but to be made a primary object in our culture, the same as corn or po tatoes. The proper complement and conclusion of the tlieory of early cutting are that we must have two, and sometimes three full crops of grass from the same land in one season, We can only get them by manuring and seeding for them. There are farmers who say that June grass is worth nothing lor hay; and we have seen far mers cutting it at the rate of two tons to the acre the first week in June. It would be a good thing to bring these two kinds of farmers' club, and have the latter tell the former how it was done. When we have learned how to grow four tons of hay in two or three cuttings, we shall all be "early cutters," and late cutters, too. " In the good old times, before mowing-machines, tedders and horse-rakes it would have been cruelty to talk about two or three hayings in one summer. But now that the handling of grass is reduced to so small an item, there is no difficulty about it, if we' can raise the grass. Can we do it? It isall "hum bug" to talk about carrying a herd of twenty-five cows on the feed of a fifty acre farm ? We know a practical dairyman who keeps that number on twenty Jive acres, but he soils instead of pasturing them. There are thousands of farms better suit ed to dairying than his, yet we will not frighten our readers by proposing to them to stock up at the same rate. But wc do think any of us might be smart enough to make fifty acres car ry a herd of twenty-five, if we' would only make a study of the subject It will take manure, to do it, and knowledge and skill as well. Kettles and stew-pans should be washed outside as well as in side. Sage leaves in small quanti ty make an excellent addition to tea. An oyster shell put into a tea kettle will prevent it from be coming furred. Soap-suds and soapy water supply the mamue for garden soils. Lemon juice will allay the ir ritation caused by the bites of gnats and flies. Cold potatoes mashed with peas, make an excellent and light pea pudding. Honey and castor oil mixed are excellent for asthmatic A teaspoonful night and morning. The white of one egg beaten to a froth with a little butter, is a good substitute for cream in coffee. Clothes-lines should be well wiped and taken down after each wash. Gutta pcrcha lines are the best. Starch is said to be explosive. It causes explosions in the family when the old man finrU ithas be'en left out of his col lars. Since those nominations what- do what can the preachers think of the efficacy of prayer! It is to be honed the Cincin nati Millers Convention wont bolt on this wheat buy and buy. A Southernor has ivwMprl j Miss Lizzie Dollar nnH sc rtio. say that marriage is a lottery, it lsiairto inter mat he drew a cash prize. It may be fashionable for young women to go jnto a re treat before marriage but their fathers are generally called up on for an advance. One of the thino-s wtiirr bothers the curious in railroad circles is wether any two bells have the same tone. About fifty weddings have ta ken place in the Oneida Com munity since their peculiar mar riage doctrines were renounced.

No man wlio is lit to live, need fear to die. Poor faithless souls that wc arc! How shall we smile at our rain alarm when the worst has happened! Death i: the mot terrible word wc know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to ns birth, deliverance, a new creation to our selves. It will be what health is to man. It will be n hat home is to the exile. It ill be what the IotcJ ones give back to Ihe bereaved. As we draw near to it a solemn gladness should till our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky. Our fears are the terrors of children in the night the night with its terrors its darkness, its feverish dream is p?ipg away, and when we awake, it will be into Cod's sun light. . . Social Bisaosor. Gossip entails on those who encourage it, absolute dishonor w e mean the dishon or of repealing circumstances, not made under promise of secrecy; butwhich ahigh sense or honor would treat as confidential, if happily a high seme of honor were the rnle. It is odd that one of the best tilings a hoy learns nt school is to eschew tale tiearing and keep failh wiih companions; nile one I" the most common practices of society is to betray the trust contained in talk, and repeat to all what has been told in implied confidence to one. This-habit of repealing what we hear, is as fatal iwst lntererconrse oi mimts as to ti feelings of integrity. TratkT Truth will never die; the dim. the sun will pale his. f. willbecervounc. Integrity honesty, love, goodness, the! perishable. No prae can i theseimmortal principles. Tacyhavebeen in prison, but they have been freer than be fore; those who enshrined them in their hearts hare been bumed at the stake, but out of their ashes otha witnesses hare aris en. Ko sea can drown, no storm can wTeck, no abyss can swallow up the erer lasung truth. You cannot kill goodness, and integrity, and righteousness; the way that is consistent w itli, these rousl be a w ay everlasting. Man's Home Kingdom. The tlearot and purest pleasures are llioie which hat c their rise in the family. No man is more proudly happy than be who carries over the consciousness that there is ithin his reach one supreme spot where he is the roost welcome jpiest of all the world; whose daily coming is a festival event in his little kingdom, and whose go ing forth is the withdrawal of home ol the sunshine that warms the Urine blossoms rooted n that geneta! soil The contem plation of such a kingdom stirs within the soul emotions that respond to no other bidding. Never to have knotvn the thrill of those emotions is to have lived fit in complete life. Very deep down in every man s heart is one note that remains forever mote untd the child's roice crying "Father" sets it in vibration. The strongest link of human love is forged for no woman who does not bend in strange wd wonderful joy over the babe that has come to her through doubtandpang. These mother, father, babe are the true and holy triune of earth; the materialized soul of Love, the all gracious Spirit of Home. Let us offer sacrifice to them and bow unto them in adoration.

Are the American people a nation of irauos; is it a venial sin to count out or count in a ruler of this great nation as the whim suggests, or the party may desire? to pack primary meetings and conventions in the interest of this candidate or the other! To the careful student of cmrenthistory the pages seem marred ith prominent attempts and e en acts of fraud, m the eftorts of partisans to secure' a personal or party triumph for their candidAte, and the worst of all this seems to be the fact, that these frauds and attempted wrongs, while ad mitted to be wrong, are yet winked at, apol ogized for and finally accepted bv alk u here js the example of the sturdy political honesty oflhefalhers? Has it been lost! Where the moral sentiment of the people that shall coerce the leaders and managers of political affairs to be and remain as truly honest in all politicals matters as they are in private arbirs of life! To permit no chi canery in the management of the official duties of the government that would be frowned down ifcommittedby them as an indhidualin the home community. It is a fearful thing to act in such a manner in a public body as, to demoralize the private citizen of the nation. Only by ahigh stan dard of correct morality in a people can a nation continue to exist ana prosper. Yhen tliis standard of honest vis lowered among the people, corruption is inevitable. The history of the causes of the rise and fall ol the nations of earth should be taught Tn our schools, and the people should insist upon honor ond honesty, as an essential and ousoiute requisite or inosc who seeic their suffrages.
