PlOughing and Manuring.

At the recent Agricultural Fair, at Hamp-
stead, Long Island, Professor Mapes said:
s.High farming is not ornamental farming;
it is deep ploughing and increased manuring.
This is what pays the greatest profit. Who
ever heard of a crop suffering from drought in
a field well drained and sub-soiled, say two feet
deep? The atmosphere gives out its moisture
in sub.soiled land, and keeps the crops grow.
ing. Look at such land and see the results
compared with shallow ploughing. Many men
have better farm under the one they plough
than that on the surface. Oats never lodge on
land where they can get soluble silex to make
strong straw. They cannot get it in shallow
ploughed land that has been long in use. Two
dollars an acre will give him plenty of soluble
slick. No matter what the subsoil is, it will
be benefited if it dry by sub-soiling. Hill
tops are benefited by subsoiling and draining,
for il lets in the air. 1t makes crops earlier,
aud thus they escape the frost. The most
gravelly land is benefited. A subsoiled meadow
never runs out There is no fear of deep
ploughing gravelly lands; manures do not
leach downward; that notion is a fallacy. To
prove it, dig in your barnyard and you will
find it has not made the hard subsoil rich.
Root crops are not appropriated as they should
be. Cattle may be fattened on roots cheaper
than you can feed them on hay in the winter.
One bushel of carrots, fed with oats, are worth
more than oats for horses. You can raise a
thousand bushels Of carrots to the acre, worth
fifty cents bushel for feed. Carrots are equal
for cows in winter to clover in May

Tragedy on a Western Steamboats, MAN
Shot BY FEMALE.--On the last trip of the steamer
New ST. Paul. from Keokuk, watchman by the
name of William Rugg was killed under the fol-
lowing circumstances: A man by the. name Of
Isaac Miller, and his wife, came on board at Keo-
kuk and took deck passage for this city. They
had been married only about three weeks, and had
been living in Davenport, Iowa, where Miller had
been employed in some capacity at the hotel known
as the Leclare House. On the passage down, the
watchman had, on several occasions, taken some
very understandable liberties with Mrs. Miller, and
had been often repulsed, until the husband took
the matter in hand, and he and the watchman had
a few words and the matter passed of. Mrs. Mil
lers statement is about as follows:
Night before last, after Miller and his wife had
retired to bed Mrs. M. discovered man standing
on the guard Of the boat, Immediately in front Of
the window, alongside Of which she was lying
She spoke to him. she states, and he disappeared
She was subsequently aroused during the night
by feeling the hand of some one on her person,
and ordered him away again. This time, however
she took the precaution TO hang her husbands
pantaloons over the hole orWindow, through which
The ANNOYANCE came. She then asked her husband
for his pistol stating that il she was annoyed again.
she would frighten the intruder, and after getting
the pistol, again went TO sleep. Just before day.
light, she was walked up in the same manner by a
man who was standing on the guards of the boat,
but who this time had lantern with him.
She states that she saw portion of his person
distinctly, and with the intention, she positive
" asserts, only of frightening him, thinking the
shot would prevent any future annoyance, she
fred through the window or hole. 1t proved a
fatal shot. The ball entered the left breast of the
man, he ran few PAGES, met deck hand, and
exclaimed, "Tm shot," fell, and died almost in
stantly. One of the engineers ran back, and
several sleeping on deck were aroused, when on
proceeding to the spot where the unfortunate man
lay, it proved to be William Rngg, the watchman
of the boat Mr. and Mrs. Miller, yesterday fore
noon, gave themselves up and were brought to the
police office. Upon the facts becoming known,
several gentlemen, whose esympathies We're aroused
in her favor, had her taken to the jail, where more
comfortable quarters were to be found than in the
calaboose, until the matter could be judcially in
quired into, TO which place her husband accom-
panied her.--St. Louis Republican, Oct. 10.

Hints to Farmers.

Toads are the best protection of cabbage
against lice.
Plants, when dropping, are revived by few
grains of camphor.
Pears are generally improved by grating on
the mountain ash. -.... ..
Sulphur is valuablein in preserving grapes, &C.,
from insects.
Lard never spoils in warm weather, if it is
cooked enough in frying out.
In feeding with corn, sixty pounds ground
goes as far as one hundred pounds in the
kernel
Corn meal should never be ground very fine,
it Injuries the richness of it.
Turnips of small size have double the nutri.
tious matter that large ones have.
Ruta Baga is the only root that increases in
nutritious qualities as it increases in size.
Sweet olive oil is certain cure for the bite
of rattlesnake. Apply it internally and ex
ternally.
Rats and other vernin are kept away from
grain by a sprinkling Of garlic when packing
the sheaves. .|
Money skilfully expended in drying land by
draining or otherwise, viii be returned with
ample interest.
To cure scratches on horse wash the legs
with warm soapsuds, and then with beef brine.
Two applications will cure in the worst case.
Timber, when cut in the spring and exposed
to the weather with the bark on, decays much
sooner than if cut in the fall.
Experiments show apples to be equal to po-
tatoes to improve hogs, and decidedly superior
for feeding cattle.
Wild onions may be destroyed by cultivating
corn, ploughing and leaving the field i'll its
ploughed state all the winter

wards the river. The officers then said they
would try to fighten him, and fired off pistols,
but did not point the pistols toward him. Bill
waded into the river; some one furnished him
with large knife. The officers then despatched
q messenger for the sheriff, who refused to
render them any assistance. Bills clothes were
much torn, and considerable blood had been
shed over his face and clothes in the struggle
a large crowd collected some exhorted Bill
not to be taken alive, and he declared his in
tention to die or be drowned rather than be
taken. The officers, after dallying some time,
being afraid to make further attempts to arrest
him, as no one would assist them, gave up the
attempt and went away, saying, as the negro
would not be taken alive, and they did not want
him dead, they would pursue him no further"
After the departure of the officers, Bill said to
two Witnesses, who inquired of him if he was
hurt ~ that he was not hurt, but had some
bruises about the face" He was afterwards
made his final escape
We are unable to perceive in this transac-
ton anything worthy Of blame in the conduct of
these officers in their unsuccessful endeavors to
fulfil most dangerous and disgusting duty; ex-
cept, perhaps, o want of sufficient courage and
perseverance, in the attempt to execute the writ.
A careful examination Of the testimony sufii-
GENTLY exhibits the reason why those who were
acquainted with the facts Of the case have been
unwilling to prosecute the officers for their un-
successful attempt, and left it to those who, to
use their own language, "knew nothing about
it under heaven"
In conclusion, as we find that the prisoners
are officers Of the United States" in confne-
ment for acts done in pursuance ofa law Of the
United States, and under process from judge
Of the same, that they have not exceeded the
exigency Of the proofs under which they acted.
That this prosecution has not been instituted,
nor is it now acknowledged by the State Of
Pennsylvania, but has its origin in some asso-
citation living at distance and wholly lyignorant
of the whole transaction which they have vol
unteered to investigate. That the information
ON which the warrant to arrest the prisoners
is founded was sworn to by one who did not
know whether the matter of the affidavit pre-
sented to him was true or false, and that by q
statement Of but half the truth, it is wholly
false.
The prisoners are therefore discharged.
