A Row.--Last Monday evening there
was something Of row at the levec
here, between the hands of the Stella
WKipple and party of Norwegian EN-
igran,s. 1t seems that the eaigrants
bought their tickets to this place at Chic
ago, and it was expressly stipulated that
there should be no overcha,ge for b"g-
gage. and when they asked for receipt
to this effect. were told there would be
no trouble, their tickets would be suffi-
cisnt. Arrived here. their baggage was
weighed. and they were charged extra,
which they, of course, refused to pay
The boat then attempted to put the bag
gace into the ware house, and the emf
grants attempted to bod il, when they
were assailed with rocks, and two ofthcm
severely injured. The general opinion is
that there was an attempt TO swind 10 the
emigrants. and the authorities OF the
boat we're guilty of gross outrage.

The Crops.

The favorable weather Of The two
weeks past has resulted in great i'm.
provement of the wheat crop. There are
many pieces of new breaking which it is
thought will yield from IS to 90 bushel:
per acre. In the towns of Trimbelle,
Diamond Bluff, and most Of Oak Grove
tho yield will be fair. Much Of the crop
in River Falls is good. In Clifton the
wheat was mostly sown early on old
land, and was too mnch matured to re
ceive the full benefit of the rain. Corn
and potatoes are booking well.

Regularity in Feeding sheep

The utmost regularity should be observed
in times Of feeding either stock or fattening
sheep and giving them Just the requisite
amount to last them until the next feeding.
If permitted to waste hay. c., picking
out the best and then waiting even though
quite hungry for another feed. Hthe hay
is coarse and was cut overripe, and especi
ally if clover hay be thus circumstanced. it
is not profitable TO compel the sheep to cat
the sorts or refuse; but even with such hay,
sheep can soon be taught by over feeding
and carelessness, to make most unneces-
sary degree of waste.
All experienced flock masters concur in
the opinion that the sheep fed with perfect
regularity as to time and amount making
proper allowance for the weather. will do
better on rather inferior sheep, than on the
best without that regularity. ! prefer feed
ing three times a day, even in the shortest
days Of winter; but many good hock-mas-
tiers feed but twice flied three times, it
should be at sunrise, noon. and all hour be-
fore dark if but twice, then the last feed
ing should be an hour earlier. Sheep do
not stand at their racks and eat well in the
dark. 1t is not very important at what pc
riod of the day grain or roots are given, pro-
vided the time is uniform RaadaWS

Where 10 plant Apple Trees.

They grow best in low, rich soil, as will
anything else. But yet, this is not the soil
for apple trees nor fruit trees in general.
The frost takes them when in blossom more
readily they have less air, (which pro
notes vegatation) and bear betterfruit gen
erally-not alway-for they are exposed to
the cold Spring storms They bear better
fruit on upland generally, have better flavor
and are much healthier, and more free from
insects. The curculio affects tree less on a
hill than in valley. Rocky ground is
favorable to trees-at least proportionately
than grain. You can grow a tree on soil
so rocky that it will otadmit of cultivation.
Plant your trees ON good rocky upland
ground if you have it, Avoid the valley if
possible. --Ll IL -----
