SUGAR BEErs AS FIELD CRoP. Mr.. Al.
Y. Moore, President of the State Agricultur.
al Society of Michigan, states that the kind
of root which has produced the greatest
quantity of milk with him, is the sugar beet
of superior value, so much so that one far
mer within his knowledge, has raised the m
as a field crop for great many years. He
says they yield as abundantly as any other
root, and are at the same time, more nutri.
tive than any other, with the exception of
carrots. He too thinks they are superior for
mich cows, to any other root or vegetable
whatever.
He informs us that butter made in winter
from cows fed on this root, in addition to
their dry feed of hay, is nearly as great in
quantity as in the fall, and of nearly, if not
quite as rich color and quality.
To secure good crop of beets, especially
Of ;ae white Slesian, the seed should be
soaked, as otherwise they terminate SLOWLY
or not at all in very dry weather; the soil
should be deeply plowed and well pulverized;
the rows three feet apart, to admit of easy
cultivation.

The New York Times seems to think that
the last hope ofthe Pierce Administration
centers in Old Virginia. The official papers
pluck up the courage to write few words OF
encouragement to the faithful on the pros
poets of the Spring Election. The ground
of affected confidence is that the Opposition
have shown their hand in the State nominal
tions. The real occasion for the paragraph,
however, We suspect, to be a recent political
mission of Mr.. Senator Douglas to Richmond,
where it is announced, he made a speech to
the Democracy in the AFRICAN Church,
Why they should have assigned him this par
ticular theater, is curious point for conjec.
ture. Senators Mason and Hunter have
also entered the canvass. The term of the
former expires with the next Congress. He
may be looking out for reelection, while his
colleague, in common parIance, is said to
have hankeriag after the next Presidency
and must clear the way by breaking down
the Wings and Know Nolhings in his own
State.

PscFurs OF FowLs.-I have IL hens at
this time, and have lost along during the
summer, some 4 or 5. They are the old
fashion kind of hens, and quite a number of
them are from to 7 years old. They have
laid, from about the middle of February to
November 9th, inclusive 3.0l7 eggs, which
at IA cents-the average price-amounts to
1855. The cost of keeping during the
time has been Sl0,S7. all of which | have
bought at this years high prices. Thus they
have Melted me Sl2 Sc clear profit. My
practice is to keep lime and feed in the hen
honse all the time. and as general thing to
let them run at large. They have done lit
tie or no damage in the garden, to which
they have free access. Corn find to be al
together the cheapest feed for them. One
hen stole her nest and Matched ten chickens,
and the cost of raising the four that were not
killed is included in the above

The Bible and the Cross.

The Enquirer is terribly troubled because
a Bible with a cross on it was used at the
lower polls to swear Catholics upon. He
cannot see the force of its objections. No
insult to Catholics was intended, as the
Enquirer knolcs. II any man is honestly
swearing to the truth, it makes no difference
to him whether cross be on the Bible or
not. If, as men haze done at our polls, he
deliberately swears to a lie, he is no more
perjurer by swearing over the cross than
over the Bible; but if he be so in his own eyes,
then so much more the use for cross. II
can do no harm in any case, and if it has
any effect for good ia certain cases, wherein
the objection! The Enquirer evidently
thinks this prevented men from committing
perjury by swearing to lie, and being thus
empowered to vote for the Old Line ticket.
If this be not so. why lite objections to this
mode Of swearing! The first case we ever
heard ofswearing Catholics in this city, was
in a trial before one of our courts six or
seven years ago,in which a Catholic attorney
swore Catholic witness not only on the BIZ
BILE and cross, but with lighted tapers! II
this be not true, we shall with pleasure
make the correction. We were not a citi.
zen of Evansville at that time, and man have
been misinformed. Now the whole truth ia
no Catholic, much less an editor who is not
of that faith, need object to swearing on a
cross more than on a Bible, if he really de.
sires the truth to be told. IF he wishes
men to swear to lie, he had better dispense
with both Bible and cross. We have earn
estly desired abstaining from all discussions
in which the peculiar tenets ofreligious sects
may be brought into irreverent use-but
the Enquirer seems intent, in it's desire oil
counting up Catholic voters, upon bringing
about such discussion, which can in no
possible manner conduce to the harmony OF
our community, nor to the cooling of pas
sions already too much excited. We shall
not be forced into course contrary to our
own feelings, and to the policy distinctly
marked out when We assumed the control OF
this paper. We call no man to an account for
his religious views. We are no sec,aran,
but too much of a christian to condemn any
man for his religious convictions.
