The Way to Select Seeil Wheat.
One of the most satisfactory ways of obtain
ing chaice seed wheat is to select the cleanest
and lest spot in your wheat field, where the
grain grows most perfectly and is most mature.
Then harvest and thresh these portions sepa
rately, with the gteatest care, and save the seed
for sowing. Procure this course for a number
of years, and you will procure what will seem
to be anew variety of wheat; but it will only
be the same, developed and perfected in a
higher degree. The operation for securing
good seed will pay in every department of
farming and gardening.
When selecting seed always choose a variety
that has succeeded well in soil and clima'.e sim
ilar to your own. Intelligent neighbors, who
have raised good wheat can help much in this
matter. It is not well to try new’ experiments
on a large scale, unless one is prepared to risk
considerable loss. Accept only that seed which
is perfectly ripe and plump. Let no man im
pose on you by saying smaller kernals will pro
duce a greater number of plants from a bushel
of seed. What is wanted is a strong, vigorous
growth of wheat plants. This you cannot ef
fect from half grown or shriveled seed. Never
sow any but the cleanest seed. You can tel!
by examining it what its condition is. If the
seed is good in other respects, but is foul, clean
it yourself. Put be sure to have it clean at all
events. Reject seed that has been kept damp
or has been heated- beed that suffered either
or both of these injuries may germinate, but it
has lost a part of its vitality and should never
be used for seed if better could be secured. Do
not sow mixed seed on the same ground. Let
the seed of one sowing in the same field be all
of one kind alone. You will thus know what
kinds you are growiug and be able to compare
results, with an approach toward accuracy.
If possible, never sow seed which is more
than one year, or at most, two years old. Old
seed may germinate and may not. Prudence
will suggest that seed should be used before it
has been exposed to decay’, to insects, to damp
ness or to other injurious agencies. Experi
ence has taught that some of these are likely
to injure the kernel if it is kept after the first
year. The farmer who will select and prepare
his seed wheat according the above suggestions
will greatly increase the chances in favor of
having a fine crop next year.
The I mi* of Lime us a Fertilizer.
The season is approaching for the prepara
tion of the soil for next year’s seed. This, and
the selection of the kinds best adapted, are of
sufficient importance to occupy the mind of the
fanner, and to a greater extent than is occas
ionally given, when it is considered that infe
rior or unadapted seed will produce, as a rule,
an inferior crop. Thus to sow wheat on a soil
that contains no lime or marl—either naturally
or artificially—is sure to bring a poor return.
A remarkable instance of this took place in Ire
land just after the famine. It is a fact well
known by the more intelligent farmers in that
country that the extensive central plain which
occupies the surface laud at the foot of the
mountains contains no lime or marl, and that
dressings with these materials were at stated
times applied when the culture of wheat was
intended. The product from an average year
was twenty barrels per acre, (Irish) or about 60
bushels to the English acre. After the famine
the poverty and want of hearts to do their best
by the land compelled those who remained on
their farms, unsubdued bv the famine and pes
tilence, to omit the usual application of lime
to the soil, and the consequence was that, in
stead of twenty barrels per Irish acre, theyield
was from five to seven barrels, being a reduc
tion of from two-thirds to three.fourths.
Another instance occurred in the case of
three farmers from Suffolk, who took a tract of
land, about six hundred acres, near Sligo, en
closed with a wall as a park In a letter from
one of them after they had been there a few
years, he stated that they were about to aban
don their barlings, as the land would not grow
wheat for want of lime, of which there was
none to be obtained in the neighborhood,while
the soil contained not a panicle of that mate
rial, and there was none within reasonable
reach of their farms. In such cases as this the
application of lime is required to be renewed
frequently, because either lime or marl will
sink in almost any soil, especially light, so that
the arocess of renewing the application of these
materials is very expensive.
There is, however, a drawback to this favor
able account of the effects of the application of
lime to the soil, namely ; that it is possible to
overtime; that it produces larger crops for a
certain number of years, after which the return
falls away until it becomes less than before the
lime was applied, so that it appeal's to have ex
hausted instead of enriched the soil. In ac
counting for this adverse effect of what is ad
mitted on all hands to be a benefit, the chem
ists state that lime acts on all the organic parts
of the soil, by which It is rendered more ser
viceable to the growth of plants. On the oth
er hand the proportion of organic matter in
the soil gradually diminishes under the pro
longed action of the lime, and thus the soil be
comes less rich in those substances ol organic
origin on which its fertility to a certain extent
depends. The same effect is produced on the
mineral matter in the soil, when there is ab
stracted from it a more abundant supply in
proportion with its immediate effects per se
Unless, therefore, an adequate proportion of
those matters are supplied in other manures,
the soil will necessarily become exhausted to
such an extent as to counteract or neutralize
the action of the lime. The way, therefore, to
counteract this effect, is to manure largely with
farm-yard manure and saline substances, and
thus return or repay to the soil whatever may
have been extracted too speedily or too copi
ously from it. —Mark Law Erprcst.
The intelligent jurv has at last attracted the
attention of the magazines, Scribner's says:
*• The simple truth is, that the jury system is
ou*iived and ought to be outlawed. It does
not help the cause of law and justice, and ought
to be kicked out of the way. It is oppressive
to the juror, it is anomalous to our system of
government, it makes tlie uncertainty of law
still more uncertain, it is expensive, aud it is
unnecessary, There is nothing sacred aboutit.
To be tried by a man's peers is not half so
good a thing as to be tried by a man's intellec
tual and moral superiors.”
SWAM HEW IXDI4XOLI.
A Wicture of Ftcr Desolation and
Misery almost Fnparalelled—
.Ninety Bodies Recovered from
the Wreck.
The steamship Harlan from Indianola, via
Galveston, arrived at Brashear on Wednesday
at noon. Some of her passengers from Galves
ton telegraphed their friends in this city con
firming the report of the almost entire destruc
tion of Indianola by tbe Gulf cyclone.
The train bearing a number of the passen
gers brought to Brashear by tbe steamship Har
lan arrived in the city last evening.
Included in the number were several gentle
men, the Messrs Buckles and Mr. O’Kelly of
Galveston, who came direct from Indianola,
where they’ were during the cyclone. They
fully coroborate the report published on las!
Wednesday morning as to the immense loss of
life an! property, and state that the scene when
they left there on Monday afternoon was ter
rible to behold.
The storm began on Wednesday evening and
increased in violence until Thursday morning,
when the gale burst upon the town with all its
fury, tbe water in the bay rising rapidly but
did not create any general feeling of alarm un
til late Thursday morning, when it began to
swell rapidly, rising over six feet in two hours
and rapidly neared the flood-mark of 1807,and
yet the horror stricken people almost paralysed
with fear did not seem to realize their danger,
none of them making efforts t© escape. In
fact they hardly could have done so as tbe
wind was blowing a hurricane.
An hour later tbe water rose above the flood
mark, and at four o’clock that afternoon the
wind was driving it through the streets at the
rate of twelve to fifteen miles an hour, the ve
locity’ of the wind, at the same time, being 88
miles an hour, so measured by the observer at
the hour named-
It was then that the citizens of this place
saw that there w-as no means of escape, for
back of the city- was a large open plain cov
ered with water for three or four miles, and to
to the depth of from four to eight feet, and
huge breakers washing from the bay inland as
far as the eye could see.
At night the water in tbe city- bad risen to a
depth of seven feet, the citizens in the mean
time having taken refuge in the second stories
of their dwellings, there to remain anxiously
awaiting the dawn of day.
The gale, said our-informant, seemed to in
crease during the night, the barometer at one
time falling to 28:94, and on tbe following
morning a scene presented itsef that beggars
description. In every direction could be seen
houses, some crushed entirely-, while others bad
been carried by the wind and waves blocks
away; others, too, were moved across the
street and lay careened and half full of sand,
their occupants cither having been drowned in
their dwellings or had sought safety in the
waves, and seized shutters, doors or pieces of
furniture, and w-ere carried by the heavy seas
against the houses, in which way many were
killed, wVilq others again, corn and bruised,
were carried out of tbe city- into tbe plain only
to be drowned.
But five or six buildings of any description
was left uninjured, and not until Friday’ morn
ing did tbe wind change and the water begin
to recede, and on Saturday it had returned to
its old level.
All day Friday, or from the time it was safe,
to venture out, men could be seen with rafts
visiting, when it could be found, the remains
of their houses, in search of their wives and
children, who had been either drowned or
crushed by the houses falling upon them ; and
later in the day, when the water had sufficient
ly receded to permit it, a general relief com
mittee and patrol was formed of those who
had escaped.
Their work began by searching for bodies in
he debris of the fallen buildings, and in this
work the}* met the most horrible sights. In
several instances entire families w.re found
covered up in the ruins, father, mother and lit
tle ones lying huddled together in what was
once the upper stories of their buildings, where
they doubtless sought safety, and in one ,or
two instances, husband and wife were found
clasp in each other’s arms where death sought
them, and together they were hurried into
eternity almost without a moment’s warning.
The search continued, bodies being found
buried in the sand, some entirely nude, and so
bruised aud mangled by being thrust against
the buildings that they could not be recognized
when, providing rudely constructed coffins,the
only ones that could be obtained, they were
hastily buried.
Up to Monday evening ninety bodies had
been recovered, some of them being found four
miles from the city, where they had been car
ried, and among them men, women and child
ren who, but a few hours previous, were pur
suing their usual avocations.
Then it was, too, that the .vork of pillage
and robbery began—the miscreants who, while
clad in the garb of men, robbing tlie bodies
found in the city, until detected and driven out
of the place.
The marauning Mexicans, too, took part in
the system of robbery—a small band of thiev
ing scoundrels searching the plain, back of the
city, for the bodies of those carried out, and in
numerous instances mutilating the bodies In a
shocking manner, to obtain trinkets or jewelry,
some of them cutting off fingers to obtain rings,
while others more greedy, would, with their
knives, chop off the entire hand and carry it
with them until a convenient opportunity of
fered to secure the jewelry.
This was carried on for several hours before
it was known in the city, and when the infor
mation of the bloodthirsty conduct was receiv
ed, a patrol of citizens were sent out, who on
their return, reported that five of the thieving
scoundrels had been caught in the act of rob
bing dead bodies, and had been summarily
dealt with.
When the Harlan left Indianola, our infor
mants state, there was but little food, consist
ing of salt meat and crackers, in the city, and
this was distributed, the meat being cooked in
the open air. A small supply of provisions
had, however, been received from Victoria, but
not enough to last them more than two davs.
Everything was lost, even by those who sur
vived the gale, consequently clothing as well
as provisions will be needed. On Sunday sixty
bodies were buried at Indianola, few if any of
whom were recognized or identified.
Port Lavaeca suffered from the gale, only S
persons being left out of 25, and at a small set
tlement known as St Louis, the entire popula*

tion, numbering, perhaps, fifty lives, were lost,
another settlement known as Oldtown, being'
washed away also.
The loss to stock was terrible, over 2,500
sheep belonging to one man being drowned,
while the carcasses of horses, mules and cattle
could be 9een everywhere.
Including the settlements named, our infor
mants think the loss of life could not have been
less than three hnndred, and are of the opinion
that other settlements were carried away, as
the water, when at its height, covered ten miles
of country back of the city; the waves wash
ing, as was the case at Galveston, a channel
through from the bay to a small lake a mile
west of the city.
A Monster Farm. —The Sudivan farm, in
Floyd county, Illinois, about one hundred miles
from Chicago, is now in possession of Hon.
Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, and is the largest
farm in the country, <J not in the world. Of
these 40,000 acres 10,000 acres are planted in
corn, 5,000 in oats, flax and other crops, and all
the rest being in grass, say 17,000. There are
200 acres in hedge. The farm has land equal
to 64 miles in length, by- one in w idth. The
land is divided into 8 sections, and covers 8
square miles with boulevards running along
each two miles, so that there is but one mile of
roadway- to the boulevard. The railroad passes
through 14 miles of the laud. There are now
23,000 acres in crops, and the rest of the land,
except 60 acres in groves, is all in timothy-. To
take the corn from the cribs to the curs requires
113 wagons. There are coal lands near at
band, and the coal costs but $3 a ton. Tbe
working stock consists of 474 mules. Each of
the eight grand divisions is divided into eight
subordinate divisions, so that the men and
beasts are all fed within one mile of each oth
er, and no one has to go over one mile from
the field to find food ®r rest. There is a large
central office where reports are sent daily of
all the work done. Each of the corn cribs
bolds 6,000 bushels; 1,000 bushels of com are
shelled each hour and put in cars ready for
movement. The corn sheller necessary for the
work, cost $20,000, and is not worked by-steam.
The work is all done by mules, and 12,000
bushels of corn are shelled each day.
A returned Enoch Arden was tearing around
and railing at a Christian community that
would allow a woman to starve nearly to death
in the absence of her husband. The truth is,
he left her in thejlays of hoop-skirts looking
like this O, and on his return, found her pinned
back and looking like this I. The impression
that she had starved w-as natural.
A Suffering Capitalist.—“ Y T es, these are
awfully hard times,” said a broker as he stood
in the door talking to a friend last evening.
“ Why.” said the broker, “ I’ve been invest
ing and investing for a year back—a pile of
money I assure you—and I find I’ve been los
ing like fury.”
“Indeed r
“ True’s as I’m living, if I’ve lost a cent, I’ve
lost more than three hundred thousand dol
lars.”
“ No ?”
” Certain,” continued tbe broker, and what
cramps me most and makes me feel worst is,
that fully one hundred and fifty dollars of it
was my-jown money.”
Then the friends retired to a secluded place
and “ smiled.”
Common Sense vs. Prejudice.
By R. V. Pierce, M. D., of the Worlds Dispen
sary, Buffalo, N. Y., Author of “ The people’s
Common Sense Medical Adviser,” etc., etc.,
I am aware that there is a popular, and not
altogether unfounded, prejudice against “ pat
ent medicines,” owing to the small amount of
merit which many of them possess. The ap
pellation of “ Patent Medicine,” does not apply
to my remedies, as no patent has ever been
asked for or obtained upon them, nor have they
been urged upon the public as “ cure-alls.” They
are simply some favorite prescriptions, which,
in a very extensive practice, have proved their
superior remedial virtues in the cure of the dis
eases for which they are recommended. Ev
ery practicing physician has his favorite reme
dies, which he oftenest recommends or uses, be
cause he has the greatest confidence in their
virtues. The patient does not know their com
position. Even prescriptions are usually writ
ten in a language unintelligible to any but
the druggist. As much secrecy is employed as
in the preparation of proprietary medicines.
Does the fact that an article is prepared by a
process known only to the manufacturer render
that article less valuable? How many physi
cians know the elementary composition of the
remedies which they employ, some of which
have never been analyzed ? Few practition
ers know* how Morphine, Quinine, Podophyl
lin, Leptandrin, Pepsin, or Chloroform, are
made, or how r nauseous drags are transformed
into palpatable elixirs; yet they do not hesitate
to employ them. Is it not inconsistent to use
a prescription, the composition of which is un
known to us and discard another preparation
simply because it is accompanied by a printed
statement of its properties with directions for
its use ?
Some persons, w*hile admitting that my med
icines are good pharmaceutical compounds, ob
ject to them on the ground that they are too
often used with insufficient judgement. I pro
pose to obviate this difficulty by enlightening
the people as to the structure and funetons of
their bodies, the causes, character, and symp
toms, of disease, and by indicating the proper
and judicious employment of my medicines,
together with such auxilliary treatment as may
be necessary. Such is one of the designs of the
People’s Medical Adviser, forty thousand co
pies of which have already been published, and
are sold at the exceedingly low price of |l-50,
and sent (post-paid) to any address within the
United States and Canada.
If you would patronize medicines, scientifi
cally prepared, use my Family Medicines. Gol
den Medical Discover}* is tonic, alterative, or
blood cleansing, and an unequaled cough rem
edy ; Pleasant Purgative Pellets, scarcly larger
than a mustard seed, constitute an agreeable
and reliable physic; Favorite Prescription, a
remedy for debilitated females; my Compound
Extract of Smart-Weed, a magical remedy for
pain, bowel complaints, and an unequaled Lin
iment for both human and horse-flesh; while
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is known the world
over as the greatest specific for Catarrh and
“ Cold in the head,” ever given to the pub
lic.
These standard remedies have been before
the public for many years—a period long enough
to fully test their merits, and the best argument
that can be advanced in their favor is the fact
that their sale was never so great as during die
past six months. .

Dr. J. .*?. Pemberton —Dear Sir: I have used
your Extract of .Stillingia for a chronic skin
affection of many years standing, which made
a cure after all other remedies had failed. I
have known your Stillingia used in the worst
cases of scrofula, secondary syphilitic diseases,
rheumatism, kidney and liver affections, with
great success. In fact, I have never known it
to fail in the most desperate cases. I consider
it the greatest blood purifier known.
Yours truly, J. C. EVANS.
