In order that the people Of Iowa may zee at
. q ance and fully appreciate tho difference b.
tween the doctrines promulgated BY the Rspub-

place in juxsaposieisn the pla,torns recently
adopted BY the Mississippi Democracy and BY

Facts for Farmers.

No tendency is more prevalent than to
overrate the value of big tbings-such as
big breeds and kinds of animals, grains and
ves etables. Past experience should suggest
corrective in this respect; for retrospective
ly we find that the extra big breeds of cattle
and hogs have had their day, and given place
to the more profitable, in the medium as to
size. Big horses, with some, are yet popu-
lar, but they are more profitable to sell than
to feed and use. The last hobby of bigness
has been the Shanghaes and their congeners,
the Cochin Chinas But like their com
peers in bigness, they are giving place to
the biddies of the olden time.
Large grained varieties of wheat or ears
Of Indian corn by most persons would be
chosen to SOW or plant, yet if we are to re-
ly on official reports on the subject of pro-
ductiveness, we find that the instances of
the greatest reproduction have been in the
smallest varieties of grain. Mammoth beets
potatoes, turnips, etc, are desirable to weigh,
to show, excite surprise, and feed to cattle,
but it is the smaller ones that are eaten by
the genus homo.
In nothing is this fallacy more apparent
than in the over estimation of big apples,
pears, peaches, etc 1t is not surprising
that those who raise fruit and traffic in it
should disparaee the smaller varieties, as re-
quiriug more time to gather &c vet it IS
surprising that most persons at the fruit
stall will! purchase the large apple or pear,
or peach to eat, at advanced price, in pref
erencc to the equivalent in quantity in the
cheaper though better ones. We Americans
are charged with not taking time to eat, and
to this probably, may be attributed our pref
erence for the opportunity to take BIC bite.
The English aristocracy have time, and take
time, for eating sociaby, and their favo-ite
apple is the small golden pippin; and so
with our American gentry, or would be arls
tocracy, who can take time to eat, the small
lady apple is a favorite.
AS a general rule, subject to rare eXcep
tions it may be affirmed:
lst. That in fr1its, grains, and vegetables
moIe bushels or pounds may be produced to
the acre, in varieties of medium and below
medium size, than in varieties above medium.
Cd. More pounds of beef, pork, butter,
cheese, etc, or work, can be produced or
done to the given amount of food, in me-
dium sized breeds than in those above medi.
um.
Sd. There are more rich high favored
fruits Of medium size and below than above
it.
4th. Our delicacies of meat consist not
of beef, or pork, or big hogs, but of turkey,
chicken, quail oysters, etc Finally big
men are not always the most profitable.

Supreme Court Decision.

The following decision has been rendered
BY the Supreme Court in the case of the
Dutch Flat Co. rs. Mooney, tried more than
a year since in this county:
Dutch Fiat Co. as. Mooney. Eiectnent
for mining claims. Defendant answered,
averring that the plaintiff had lost whqtever
right he had by failure to comply with the
rules, regulations and customs of the mining
district TO this loose and general alega-
ton the defendant demurred. The Court
overruled the demurrer. The parties are en-
titled to definite issue upon which the case
can be intelligently tried. The object of
pleading is to apprise the adverse party of
the distinct subject matter of averment or
defense intended TO be relied on. If the
matter itself be good-which is not little
uuestionable-the manner of its statement
is so loose and vague that no purpose Of a
pleading is subserved by it; for what were
these regulations or customs-how many
how violated when-under what circum-
stances? The general obligation of forfeiture
is a legal conclusion upon which no issue
can be taken. The facts must be stated so
AS to enable the Court to see whether the
forfeiture did accrue.
We do not decide the question as to the
power of mining district to pass valid
regulation declaring the tenure of this spe-
ces of property to be different from that
created by the general law. The Act of the
Legislature giving effect to these local regu-
ations, qualities the power by providing that
the rules so passed shall not be inconsistent
with the Constitution or laws of the State.
We see no inconsistency in holding that the
mode of acquiring, and the extent of, the
claim, shall be according to these local rules;
but when the right of property shall have
attached, it may be more difficult to maintain
that it can be divested by a rule or regula-
ton, when the rule opposes the general law
fixing the tenure.
1t is true that the right coming entirely
from possession may be lost by an abandon
donment Of the possession, and the law de-
termnes what shall be or prove an abandon
ment; but the question is, can the local regu-
lation alter this general principle, either by
creating new and arbitrary rule, or abro
eating the new ones. AS this is an impor
tant matter, and the question has not been
fully argued we reserve decision OF it
For the errors assigned, the Judgment is re-
versed and cause remanded. BALDWIN, }.
