THE AGRICULTURAL PRESS.

1t is perhaps true that farmers. as class,
do not take and read enough papers devoted
to their specially; but it is no less true that
Agricultural papers are better supported than
any other class of publications.
There are published in the United States
one hundrcd and sir Agricultural, IIorticul-
tural and Stock journals. that are devoted to
the interests of producing classes. These
Journals probably reach and are read by five
millions of people-possibly more and the
information thus sent out spreads and ram-
fies, until their influence is felt by II still
larger number.
This is very crcditable to the intelligence
of our farmers, and indicates wish on their
part to know more of their calling
Notwithstanding this very creditable show
ing, there are hundreds andthousands of far
mers who would be benefited directly by
taking this class of publications, who are not
subscribers for any.
The physician, were he after serving II
course of study and mastering the college
curriculum, to discard his books and med-
cal journals, would soon find himself dis
tanced by his more industrious fellow. So
with farmers. No matter how much prac-
teal knowledge one may have, in these days
if he keeps even with his fellow farmers, he
must read. 1t is not simply the better plan,
but an essential to success that no farmer
can afford to neglect.

that when party was careless in making
settlements of all his affairs and in taking re-
ceipts, that many spurious claims were pre-
scented and allowed owing to the lax aud in
sufficient rules of law made by our law max
ers with reference to the establishment of
claims preferred against the estates of dead
men who cannot speak for themselves in the
matter. These facts being true, it behooves
all of us to so manage our affairs rs to render
it almost impossible for rascal to maintain
his unjust and unholy account or claim
against decedent's estate. There is. there
fore. but one rule of safe practice, namely,
have frequent settlements. and always take
such receipts as will show at glance the
precise condition of your affairs with all per-
sons with whom you have had dealings, and
this will save trouble costs, money and hard
feelings. | have wound up some large es-
tates when the parties We're very careless in
these respects and | believed mt the time.
and still believe, that many fraudulent claims
were preferred and allowed, simply because
no receipts could be found to show that the
matter had been fully settled. | warn you
now, from II standpoint of fifteen years expe-
rence in the law, to take my advice, and act
upon it, ut all hazards and under I'LL circum-
stances.-Cor IN RurH WORTH.

A WARNING TO RAILROAD CON-
DUCTORS.

A Maine Judge has recently laid down the
law in regard to the obligations of common
carriers. A suit was brought against rail
road company, by IL passenger, who, on be-
ing asked by the conductor for his ticket,
which had been previously demanded and
given up, was in consequence of the short
memory of that official, greeted by him with
the most violent language, and with n threat
OF splitting his head open, accompanied by
the shaking of fist in close proximity to his
face. There was no physical assault, but
such an attack the law regards us II technical
assault, and us it was proved that the en-
ployers of the conductor on being informed
of the fact did not discharge the man, but
still kept him in his position, the court in
formed the jury that the case was one for ex-
emplary damages. The jury accordingly re-
turned verdict for $500, which the APP
pellate Court, sustaining the decision of the
first Judge, refused to set aside.

ESTATES OF DEAD MEN.

This is somewhat of IA queer subject to
write upon for publication in i'm agricultural
paper but promise to make il applicable to
the farmer and everybody else who may
read it. speak from actual observation
gathered in II law practice of over fifteen
years-during which time / have aided in
settling the estates of II large number of dead
men, and in preferring claims for others
against their estates. have only little adj
wee to give and warn all men who can to
heed the advice here given. 1t is especially
applicable to those who are in the habit of
making accounts at stores, shops and with
traders, spectators, and others; especially
when their accounts are not adjusted fully
once or twice year, but permitted to run on,
year after year. until all the facts and crcum-
stances nearly have passed out of mind when
finally one or the other, perhaps both, die,
and matters IRE left in the dark for personal
representatives, who know but little, if any
thing, of the affairs of either, except what
may be CLEANED from pocket, day and ac-
count books, to average us best they can.
The inevitable result is, almost nine times
ont of ten, IL lawsuit in which hard feelings
between families are engendered and the
lawyers, sherfls and clerks get the ''big end
Of both estates. Moreover have found
