If farmers ‘had the Burt oat they would never complain of having them winter killed. Sown the 1st day of Marcli they can be cut by the middle of June. The stock law extends from near Aus gusta to Athens, and the workings of the same will soon be known. But, like pro¬ hibition coun ties, those that have tried it never go back.

The people everywhere need relief frem their burdens, and one relief will bo the reduction of taxes, and if prohibi¬ tion of the liquor trafie will assist in this much-desired reformation, God speed the day.

If so, a cutting down of farm expenses could he made here. We don’t hear our farrnern thfse Into ycarrt bragging about the number ot spring Jamba they have iu their llock.
