a Profitable Piece Of Ground.

The following is taken from the Massa-
chusetts Spy, communicated to that paper
by William Eaton, of Auburn, Mass:
81 planted this year three-quarters of an
acre of ground. planted most of it with
the early white potatoes, and raised eighty
bushels on the piece, and sold sixty-fve
bushels for $3.50 so. The other fifteen
value at $25; value of corn and corn
shocks, $ll; peas, beans and beets, $12.
About Sept. 10, my brother sowed two
thirds with turnips. Two-thirds of them
were fed to the fat cattle, with tops and all
on, and cut thirty-one bushels. If all the
piece had been sowed to turnips there
would have been $62 worth.
"1'he way managed was thus gave
the ground in the first place thorough
ploughing, eight inches deep, and then a
thorough narrowing. Then struck it
out both ways with small horse plough,
and after THAI good shoveling in the hills.

plough both ways every time hoed it

The manure used was from one hog
and one horse, and the wash from the
house and what ashes | had. The beet
bed was sixteen and half feet long and
five feet wide, and | used hen manure
raised four and one-balf bushels of turnip
beets on the piece. When the beets were
out of the ground ! gave them good
sprinklng of ashes. In the fall gave my
hog-pen good coating Of loan about 8
inches deep. III the spring I put my horse
manure in tie pen and gave it thorough
working over. Ia the fall got it out into
the field and gave it another working over.
Where laid the heaps of manure the po-
tatoes were one-third larger and yielded
ouc-third more. When dug the potatoes
covered the vines and weeds all up, thus
keeping the ground light for tine turnips.

One Of the incest places for growing
flowers in town is to have little conser-

draught when the window of the room is
also open. grow in my tiny conserva-

ties, tropeolums of all kinds, fuchsias

popdent, lay in winter when hens do not,
because fowls will not lay while the new

with old birds this period often extends

Some twenty Pawnee Indians visited
our city last Saturday, on a begging ex-
petition. Some of the boys who we're
with Mr.. Crow, when his train was at
tackled, and one who was scalped al that
time, acted as though they intended to
take their revenge on these friendly Indi-
ans. We. cannot blame them much for
feeling so, but think it weA that no covert
aCt'' was committed. These Indians have
for the last nine years been friendly to
the whites and about the first demons
tration upon our western border, made
by the Sioux and Cheyenes, this tribe
and the Otoes met and gave them bat
tie. A full company of Pawnees, We
understand, is now It Fort Kearney,

These acts, we think, entitle them to our
tolerance, if not friendly treatment.

Tire Dry Goods Kings OF the Nsrth-
west.

The Northwest has seen miracul Gus
changes during the past twenty-five
years. The fertile plains, heretofore
inhabited by Indians and Buffaloes, are
now the domicil of millions Of civilized
people. The wilderness has been sub
dued by civilization. Where scarcely
half a century ago. game of every des-
cription dwelled, there stands now a
large commercial metropolis, with mar
bic palaces, inhabited by more than
$50, 600 people. We speak of the city
ChicagO-sne Of our age. Like this
city, which had so wonderful a career,
many of her business men have been
likewise identified with her success,
%outgrowing anything on record. One of
these remarkably successful and renown-
ed firms are, doubtless, Messrs. JOHN.
V. FARWELL, & Co., the successors
Of the old firm Of Messrs. Cooley, Far.
well s. Co., who still occupy the old
stand, viz, the FIVE story triple. house,
40, "A and 46. Wabash Avenue.
1t is admitted by everybody that this
firm has sold more Dry Goods than half
dozen houses IN the Northwest put to-
gethsr-an ample proof hat they enjoy
the confidence of the Dry Goods dealers
of this section of tbs country at large,
OUT readers will, therefore admit that
Messrs. John V. Farwell & Co. are
properly to be- termed the Dry Goods
Kings, of the Northwest, like the lion Is
termed the king of the forest.
Mr. John V. FarweR is now in New
York to watch, as usual, the changes to
purchase cheap for Cash, and the firm
will be prepared to display a Spring
stock unsurpassed
While on a visit to Chicago, we no.
ticed that Messrs. John v. Farwen &
Co. were still, as usual, on the alert for
Improvements by putting in a steam
dummy, with three platforms for the
purpose of facilitating the hosting of
goods to their immens lofts. and the de-
livery of goods. One of the curious
features of the store is che immense
packing room under the -streel and the
neighboring building, as well as the
regiment of men employed in invoicing
packing and shipping goods to their nu,
merons customers.
