Uarwla'tf Moaltey 'I'beoirj.
If fiidt nfd stubborn things, then
pulling fodder in the low gwruuds is a
fact. There ain’t a redeeming circurn»
stance about it. Its Working on a con
tinual strain to pull it, and there’s no
fun iu tycing it up, and I reckon Unit
tho toting of it two or three hundred
yards to the wagon road, ten bundles at
u time, stepping like a blind horse over
cornstalks bent down, and tripping up in
morning glorias, nud every now and
then losing your hold and having to load
up again, and all tin time .^mothered up
so that you can’t see where you arc go
ing, and not a breath of ref reciting air
to cool you, is about tho meanest busr-
noss I havo yet experienced. It is all
fact—solemn fact--uo na
poetry, m> joke. BuV that ain’t all of
it. Its got to bo hauled and then be
throwu up in the barn loll and stacked
away, and if there’s any hotter place to
work in than a burn loft I don’t know
it, and I’ve been considerin' that after
its all dono ygy can’t , sell it for more
than a dollar a hundred, and right now
in my present frame of mind it 1 had
any to sell odd some fellow without any
soul was to offer me 90 cents 1 should
hit him if it was the lust lick I even
struck. They may jew mo on my corn
agricultural bureau bn* let alone. It's a
grout blpeeiog to this impoverished
laud, and its origia is do accident, I
think the Legislature ought^to gl v « tho
bureau another term to investigate thefo
mysteries and determine whether things
spontano or do not spoutane—and
where the army woniy cornea from, and
when they are coming, and how to stop
’em when they do eotne, for they eat up
all my (.abor's fodder and about this
time yesterday evening I wished they
had eat up mine.—Bill

’WAsiliNt'itoNy^Novcmber 25. —M.
Dc Franco arrived boro Irst night to
confer with Admiral Am men oh Nica
ragua Canal mattcoi, I asked him this
morning whut bearing on Gen. Grant’s
politiotth future tho acceptance by him of
the l*re#dtslpcy of tne Canid Company
yPjMMya-, M 'I* rnply was , subataelialiy
as follow*: It would take Mm perma
nently out of politics. He will be ten
dered the office with tho understanding
that he is to Gil it until the completion
of the canal. He would not be expected
to resign if nominated by a political con
vention next year but rather tq dpcljne
any political nomination. That would ho
the understanding, and it is upon this
basis that the foreign capitalists now in
terested in the project are desirous to
put their money into it.
I asked him if he thought that Gen.
nud wheat and couou rrtid potflioeg, but -Grunt would, under these ropsiderattons,
w » « „ . : w * i:.i nru.
I wont be jewed on fodder. It does
seem to me like all this sort of work
< J ought to be done by machinery or not
done at all. The fact is, I don’t be
lieve in fodder pulling, though it is the
very best forage for a horse or a milk
cow iu the world, and is always worth
more than it brings. I think the corn
ought to be sowed or drilled like wheat
and cutvlown in the same way, and that
would get rid of the wor^t part of old
fashioned fodder-pulling Juid give ten
times as much forage for the same
amount of manual labor. One of my
nabors, who is regarded as the best far
mer in tho settlement, is noWanoving
down a mixture of rag weeds and crab
grass that followed his wheat crop, and
he says its good ruffue.-s for stock, and
_ they, lill clem Lt-aILup^Ju
vary gated food just like folks. Well, I
am glad to know it, and I’m going to do
likewise, and let your farming editor
know the result, for if there’s any virtue
iu rag weeds, everybody ought to know
it—especially them farmers up about
King-ton who have been feeding on dog
fennel so long their cattle have all
turned yaller and they are selling ’em
oil’ as full blooded Jerseys. I always
thought that rag weeds und.crub grass
was ordained to fullow small grain and
shade the ground from the summer's
sun, but I never did know where it ccme
from under certain circumstances. Its all
an unexplored wilderness to me. Last
year there wasn’t a rag weed in my corn
**' , * U Y , and 1 sowed,
wheat upon the land and now the weeds
are about five feet high, all over if, and
. so thick you can’t walk through ’em,
and 1 want to know where they come
from. About a month ago 1 cut some of
the weeds down and tho grass come up
just us rank and thick and I’m mowing
it for hay and I would like (o know
where the grass come from. Last year
there wasn’t a morning glory in my
clover field, and now its full of them,
mid I want to knowhow they got there.
In the spring I graded off a little rise in
my front yard and dug down two feet
into the clay end slate and left it too
poor and hard to sprout peas, and iu
less than a month the bidL^gttles and
the pepper grass and other woods had
sprouted up all over it, and it bothers me
to know where they conic from. Gimp-
son weeds and opedildotk or some other
dock will just spontano anywhere
around a horse lot or cow pon or an old
houro in a field, and I don’t understand
that, for the birds wont cat the seed
nor carry them and they are too heavy
to blow around. There's young hickory
bushes all over my woods and nary old
one in a qrartcr of a mile. If you cut
down an oak forrest piues will come up
thick all over it, and if you cut down a
pine Ibrrest oaks will come up, acorns or
no acorns. A few years ago the bed of
the creek on my farm was changed and
now there’s a young cane brake coming
up in a new place, and canes don’t blos
som nor bear seed. How did they get
there? May be all those things spon-
tane according to the new fttngled doc
trine of evolution, and if so then I
reckon I’m an Cvolutioner, for I’m
obliged to believe that- under certain
conditions of soil and atmoSpIa'rc plants
oru originate themselves withOupseed.
The other day 1 locked up a piefce^of
cheesa where d fly couldn’t find it, but
N»e iiMtcs got into it somehow from the
itWitle and worked out, so it seems to
me if animals cun develop without uu>
ccstors vegetable lilo can do the same
thing.
But I don’t believe that a hair from a
black marc’s tail will turn into a snake
if you put it in tho branch. I douT be
lieve that a man ever enmo from a
monkey, for they arc both just like,
what they were as far back as history
runs, and haven’t made very much im •
provement if anv; I am uot that sort
of an evoluter. I don’t believe that the
jumpiu’ kangaroo swumall the way from
Noah’s nrk to the island of Australia, or
- .that every sort of a man descended
from Shcna, Ham and Japheth, but I do
believe that nature furnishes her owp
resources apd all these weeds that fol
low the crops come up-without seed just
as natural as original sin follows the hu
man family. The first year after the
war a new kind of clover came up all
over the land and covered it like a new
carpet and nobody ever found out
accept tnc’oflice. He said yes. They
had recently received a letter from him
saying that he would accept provided he
•was satisfied that the company was on a*
solid business basis and would carry out
tho proposed work, and these require
ments, M. Be Franco said, would be
met. Ho fully expected, therefore, that
General Grant would identify himself
with this work. Ho would gain nothing
in fame or fortune by a third terra.
This undertaking was worthy of his
highest ambition and powers. It would
give him a duuble immortality, a perma
nent position of vast respormibiHty,
prominence and wealth. M. Bo Franco
considered the Lesscps scheme jead.
