5 FARM COLUMN. 1LAX KKKD. It will be R long while, in the West, before furiners will bo induced generally to purcliHHe oil meal for their stock, Uut reully there ix no reason why they should. The oil which is in llax Heed i about all there is in the meal which is valuable for stock. And it looks like folly for farm ers who can cheaply raic the seed, to buy the meal when nearly all of the oil is pressed out of it. And now is the time for farmers to bow a small quantity of llax for use among their stock. It is all of inestimable value on the farm. Flax (straw is far superior to anything else for bedding for hogs. When they sleep in this, they have no skin diseases, such as mange, scurvy, etc. And with the new practice of raising calyes without running to the cow, it is almost impossible to get nlong safely without the use of llax seed, in order to keep the bowels of calves in a safe condition. Skim milk and llax seed or oil meal gruel cm easily make calf food as rich and nourishing as new milk. And for this purpo.se one quart of pure llax seed is worth five quarts, of dry pressed oil meal. Besides grinding a small quantity of llax seed with oata, corn or barley, for all classes of stock, is a grand appetizer and promoter of health. And now is the time for farmers to pre pare to raise flaxseed for their own use. Joiva Register. EAItLV POTATOES. It is a luxury to have early fresh grown vegetables, provision must be made for their early growth. Early potatoes sure ly cannot be grown if they are not plant ed, and in order to aid their earliness of maturity they should be brought into a Condition to be strong and vigorous to hasten their growth as soon as placed in the ground. To do this bring some seed into the light and in a warm room; they will soon begin to develop sprouts which will increase- in vigor if the tubers arc kept properly moistioned; let the sprouts grow to some length as soon as the soil is suitable plant in the ground. The advance thus made will be surpris ing. The American. STARTING PLANTS. If no hot bed is made and there is no green-house in which to do it, plants for early setting should be started in the Lvouse. Tomatoes, lettuce, cabbages, peters and cucumbers can be started in thisTay and if properly attended to will give quick returns for au early crop. Plants in good soil well enriched in box es over which glass may be placed to prevent a too rapid evaporation of mois ture. Do not plant until the soil is warm and then give proper attention; as the plants gain in size transplant into other boxes or pots so as to give more room, and to induce a vigorous growth. Transplant t the open soil as soon as practicable . Ex. TrEES IX NEBRASKA. Atlanta, Ga., Constitution: Fifteen years ago it was thought that trees would not grow in Nebraska. The experiment was made and it has succeeded splendidly. Nebraska originated Arbor day and no other state in the union has reaped such benefits from this institution. It is esti mated that 12,000,000 trees were planted on the first Arbor day in Nebraska. Millions more have been added on each seeding anniversary of this tree feast. Georgia will celebrate her second Arbor day next November. She ought to catch the spirit of this important occasion as Nebraska has done. Agricultural Items.

Washington, May 12thr 18S7. Secretary Lamar did not attend the State dinner given in honor of the (Jut-on o' the Sandwich Iblands at the White House on Friday evening, and gossips were ready with an explanation. They saiil it was on account of the complexion of the dusky sovereign. This accusitiou made it necessary, of course, for the sec retary to come forward with his own ex planation. He said the true instigation of his non-appearance was neuralgia, from which he has suffered ever since that memorable oration at the unveiling of the Calhoun statute in Charleston. He further vouchsafed the information that he ver3' much regretted his inability to sit at dinner with Hawaii's queen, which he felt would have been a very high honor. Kapiolani could not but be pleased with her reception at the United States capital if distinguished attentions were what she most desired. Victoria could scarcely have had more honors done her iu the same length of time than did the queen of the little kingdom in the Pa cific. The president's wife returned her call at the White House in less than two hours the limit allowed by the royal eti- quette in returning visits. The ladies of the cabinet and the mem- bers of tho cabinet called on the queen at her hotel. An entertainment was jriven in her honor at the Hawaiian legation ae I well as at the White House, and a review Miss Nellie IJeardsley was'agreeably of troops was made for her benefit. She surprised last Monday evening by a num was taken around to the sights of the city ber of her friends dropping in upon her by a committee of reception. The Unit- ed States steamer. Desnateh. carried her to Mount Vernon where she was the re- cipient of various other attentions from private organizations and from private but distinguished individuals. The royal visitor attended two Ameri can amusements whila here the races and the circus. At the latter place there was nothing to distinguish her majesty's seat from those around her, not even a 'cush ion. She had to sit on the hard board bench just like her common neighbors. There was nothing official connected with her visit there, which was made at her own suggestion, and of course she took her lot with the common herd. It was not even known that her royalty was pre sent, and she was permitted to walk through the three inch-deep dust in pass ing in and out of the grounds as entirely free from any pressure of public atten tion as if she had been nobody in partic ular. The queen scarry spoke to her com panions during the performance, and the noisy racket of the clowns seemed to have no satisfaction for her, but when the ele phant tossed the clown about the ring it made her laugh, and when the clown's j turn came to batter the gigantic beast out I of breath and finally lay him prostrate in the arena, (the elephant having been trained to lie down)her majesty guffawed outright. On the queen's trip to Mount Vernon, "nice customs courtesy to kino-s," was rigidly observed. She was escorted to I tha steamer past a line made up of of- j ficers of the navy yard gathered to do j her homage, while a royal salvo of twen- J ty-one guns was fired. Inside the cabin J Kapiolani found herself the center of a distinguished company. The diplomatic j corps was generously represented by the I ministers from Chili, Venezuela, the Neth erlands, Austria, Japan Turkey Switzer- and, the Russian "Charge d' affaires1', and the Chinese secretary of legation.

At this point she depricated too I tion a year hence. much attention and said "Please do whatever is customary or required by the occassion."

In the present canvass party lines are broken, and the Prohibitionists are displaying a strength which the Republi cans in recent years have never been able to show. As Reagan, Maxey and many of the prominent Democrats of the State are enthusiastic Prohibitionists, who will take an active part in the campaign, the contest will be the most doubtful up to the close of the polls on election day of any which has been waged in the Lone Star State since the close of the recon struction period.
