WAYSIDE REMARKS.

Funning In Iowa—On a Much I-arger Scale Than in Montgomery County.

To the Fditor Journal.

Your newsy paper reaches me here regularly, keeping- me posted in the doing's of Montgomery county. I see yon are up to the eyes in politics, here we are as busy in farming, that being the all absorbing topic in this great State. I propose to write you occasionally on the various departments of farming and so enable the farmers of your county to contrast their methods with those followed here, and the results. I see by the report of the State agricultural bureau just issued that there are one million more acres of corn planted this year that in 'S3 and it exceeded '92 a good way.

What lead me to write at the present very busy season was an item of news in your issue of the 4th of May, when you stated a Montgomery county farmer was planting 02 acres of corn, having a force of five sets of harrows (are there no disc cultivators in the county) and two planters at work in it, as compared with here an extra large force for the acres of corn. The average size of farms in this county is close on 250 acres. This farm where 1 reside is over 600 acres of rich alluvial soil. This county is a rich alluvial, rolling prairie, with plenty of timber in this section underlaid with magnesian limestone. This description of soil is a digression from the corn planting. The lessee of this farm being a thoroughly practical farmer, has ail the work done up quickly and methodically in proper season—using the very best implements for that purpose.

I will tell you how 150 acres of corn land was managed hei-e, SO acres of it being very tough sod. In twenty-one days with a four-horse gang plow and a three-horse sulky plow the land was all plowed while another three-horse team was kept busy with a Hi-inch 12 disc cultivator and set of lever harrows fitting the first 4(") acre field and doing other needed work on farm. When plowing was done an improved 20-inch 14 disc cultivator was started on the other 110 acres, with four good walking horses, followed by a set of th 'eehorse lever harrows thoroughly fitting 20 acres a day. Same day cultivator and harrows started the foreman hitched on a team to an improved Tip Top Keystone planter and in eight days the whole 150 acres were planted, half a day being lost through a defective piece in the check wire, which was quickly thrown aside and the drilling attachment put on, dropping the kernels regularly 10 and 12 inches apart. To-day over one-half of the corn is up and first 40 acres harrowed in one and one-half days. The planter is used to-day for 10 acres of potatoes, planting and making very satisfactory work. These are planted on a newly plowed clover sod with a good stand of clover plowed under, furnishing the richest plant food for the potatoes that can be applied. A one-horse Breed's weeder will care for the potatoes, and get over the corn once. Next year there will be a two-horse weeder manufactured especially for large farms and no intelligent farmer should be without one of those tiseful tools.

The same rapid 'handling goes on in every department of the farm work, even to gardening, .lust fancy a garden of over an acre being fitted, marked out and planted to all kinds of garden truck from potatoes to cucumbers, and well finished in less than a day with team and man, and though only planted ten days ago the most of the potatoes, etc., are fit to cultivate.

One great inducement the men on the farm have to work steady every day is this, each man has his day's work set out and when 0 o'clock comes he knows he is done for the day, even the horses are cared for independent of their drivers, who only have to harness and groom them, and when as often happens the man gets done an hour earlier he is not asked to begin another job. Look in any direction you like from here and you see the farmers and their one hired man working from sunrise to dark and still behind in their work. All the farms ax-e too short handed to properly attend to the details. As an offset to this last, however, I have not seen a Democrat since March. If there are any they are as quiet as the Republicans. Another benefit is, no saloons are allowed in the State but plenty forty rod whisky is sold, whether any saloons are allowed or not. Crop outlook is good, very good, especially oats. In my next I will tell how flax is handled and corn cultivated. Meantime I am J'ours truly. OHSKKVKH.

A Bilious Wail With Some Ginger In It. Greencastle Banner-Times: It would be a good idea for Crawfordsville people, individually, collectively, ministry and laity, to shut up, quit fussing about their religion and give the people of the surrounding counties a rest. The newspapers are devoting space to a religious war up there that is not doing the cause of religion one whit of good No one has heretofore thought there was enough of the genuine article of religion in the Montgomery capital to fight about, and from some of the argu ments set forth it would appear that the belief was well founded. The '•Athens" gang had better play the new game of hare and hounds, go flyfishing- up above the Sugar Creek darn or ruminate on Senator Sellers' beard: anything for a change.

The Inter Ocean for Six Months. We are pleased to be able to announce that the publisher of the Inter Ocean has made a special offer on the weekly edition of that paper during the present political campaign. He will send the Weekly Inter Ocean for six months to any subscriber on receipt of thirty cents. This is a very low price for one of the best and ablest Republican newspapers in the country. Good Republicans should try to increase its circulation. Subscriptions will be received at this price from June 1st to August 1st. After that the regular prices will be restored. tf

Decree Itewcinded.

Judge Harney has decided to rescind his former decree which ordered the payment of a §2,000 life insurance policy to the widow of A. L. Tomlinson. Creditors of the decedent filed objections to the court's order and were sustained.

He Is Sent I Tor a Term of Six Years ly I iitlge linker.

Special to The .rourntil. l.VDIANAI'oi.is, June 7.—Theodore P. Haughey, late president of the Indianapolis National Hank, who pleaded guilty to misappropriating funds and making false entries, was sentenced this morning by Judge Raker, of the Federal Court, to six years in the penitentiary. His sentence dates back two months to the time of his plea, lie has been one of the most conspicuous citizens, Odd Fellows and church members in the State for forty years.

A CITY SCAVENGER SEEDED.

The Council Should Create New Otllee aiul the Officer Given l'olice rowers.

The City Health Oilicer has issued his annual "Clean Up" order and the effect of the command has about as much virtue as a last year's bird's nest. Annually for the last twenty-five years THK JOUKNAI, has printed this edict, but no more attention was given il than if it had emanated from a Dahomey king. The people are so indifferent that they have come to re gard it as merely a piece of newspaper lilling. This farce having been carried on so long isn't it about time to in inaugurate some practical system? What is needed is a city scavenger to go through the alleys every day with a cart, collect all the surface garbage and haul it away. The scavenger should be given police powers and every person caught in the act of throwing waste paper, or slops, or manure from stables, or garbage of my kind into alleys and streets should be dumped into his cart, conveyed before the great white throne and duly fined. A few examples of this kind would put a quietus on the filthy habit of making the. alleys a deposit for manure heaps and garbage of whatever nature. Every person should be compelled to keep a box- or barrel where all waste could be thrown and hauled away everyday. Let's quit monkeying and do something practical.

The I.adies' Sani'ary Society. On Friday last, .June 1st, the Womans' Sanitary Society held af most interesting meeting at the small court room. The interest manifested guarantees the success of the society and it is hoped that the ladies of the city will take interest in the movement in proportion to its importance and beneficence. The object of the organization, as heretofore stated, is for the public good, and it is worthy the sup port of all the ladies of the city who take interest in cleanliness and good health. There will be another meeting at the small court room on Friday June 8, at 2:30 p. m., and all the ladies of the city are invited to attend.

Attention, Co. 1.

Every member of Co. I is hereby no tified to hold himself in readiness for service. When marching orders are received it is expected that every available man will be properly equipped with blanket bag, haversack, meat pan, canteen, tin cup, knife, fork, spoon, ammunition and one day's rations. That these preparations may be properly and promptly made it is requested that every member be present this evening at o'clock sharp.
