The new Iowa statute abolishing capital

How TO Make a Cheap Ladder.

Procure n plank sixteen or eighteen
feet long, II inches thick, and ten
inches wide slit ii in two equal parts for
the sides, and dress one edge of each
side, tapering from the middle to each
end, so that the middle will be five
inches wide and three inches wide at
the ends. The ends will then be pro-
portionally stronger than the middle.
Plane the sides and dress off the cor
ners. Next dress out eighteen rounds,
the lower one three feet long, the Sec
ond round one inch shorter than the
first, and every successive round one
inch shorter than the next round below
it. The middle of the lower rounds
should not be less than ID inches in
diameter, and of an inch at the ends.
The most convenient way is to block
out the rounds four square with cir
cular saw then dress off the corners
making the rounds eight square, and
white the ends round, of the proper
size TO be driven into three-quarter
holes. If the rounds can be turned,
like plow.rounds, they would be heater.
Now place the two sides on the edges,
lay the rounds on the upper edges of
the sides, then with straight-edse and
pencil mark across the edges Of the an
gle at which the holes are to be bored.
Before the ends of the rounds are driv-
en- in, let them be painted with thick
paint, and let the entire ladder be well
painted. a ladder Of the foregoing di-
mansions will be very stiff strong, and
so light that one man can handle it with
facility, ana place it in almost any de-
sired position. If the timber OF which
the rounds are made is strong, any
round will sustain the weight of two
men without breaking.-American Rura!

POtatOeS.

We all have observed the great de,
terioration in our potato crops during
the past ten or twenty years and what
is the cause of this alarming decrease
of tubers Can science, can chemistry
ing the difficulty? We think ii can,
and in order to place the matter in a
clear light, we will point out the kind
and amount of food which the potato
demands.
We had field of potatoes upon the
farm which yielded 800 bushels to the
acre; this may be regarded as an old.
fashioned crop. This crop removed
from the soil in tubers and tops at least
400 pounds potash also, it removed
$50 pounds phosphoric acid. Now
these amounts are very large, and serve
to show that the potato plant is great
consumer Of the two substances, and
also it shows that in order 10 restore
our potato fields to their former pro
ductive condition, we must supply phos.
phatic compounds and substances hold
ing potash in large quantities.
For six or eight generations in New
England our fathers have been exhaust
ing the soil by removing these agencies
TO their potato and other crops, and we
have reached time when the vegeta-
BILE is starving in our field for want of
its proper food. Our farmers have found
that new land gives the best crops, and
this is due to the fact that such fields
afford the most potash. But SO long as
we crop our pastures so unreasonably,
we cannot resort 10 new land, as land is
not ne,o that has had It's potash and
phosphate elements removed by graz
ing animals.
Remember that potato field which
gives but 100 bushels to the acre re-
quires at least 100 pounds of potash, but
by allowing the tops to decay upon the
field, 60 pounds of this are restored to
the soil again, as that amount is con-
tanned in them. A medium crop of po-
tatoes requires twice as much phos-
phoric acid as medium crop Of wheat,
so that in two years with wheat the land
is deprived of no more OF the agent
than it loses with one year with ,pota.
toes. Boston Journal Of Chemistry.

Exercise and the Health or the Horse.

Stonehenge," in his work on the
horse, in relation TO the care of riding
and driving horses, says:
Without regular exercise, no horse
can long be kept in health and | be.
licve that, as far as this point is con.
cerned, even those which are hard
worked would be the better for half an
hours airing every morning after they
have been fed, and before they are
dressed. But those masters who are
particular about the mouths of the an
finals they ride or drive find that tAe
hands of their grooms are generally so
heavy that they spoil the delicate "feel"
on which the comfort of riding and
driving SO much depends. Hence, in
such cases, the poor horse is condemn
ed to confinement in his stable. not only
on the day when he is to be ridden or
driven, but on those also when he is to
be idle.
The health of the body is sacrificed
to the maintenance Of the delicate con.
dition of the mouth, which is so highly
priced by good horsemen and accom-
plished whips and / confess that
plead guilty to having, for a long series
| Of years, acted upon this principle.

Royalty en- Voyage.

During the past twenty years royalty
has made unprecedented progress in the
facility of travelling without fuss or par
ade. Although George III. had never
seen the sea till, at fifty, the doctors
sent him to Weymouth, his great grand.
sons are among the most travelled men
in the world, and go hither and thither
with no more notice than great noble
men. During the past few weeks the
Prince of Wales has been on board q

and other friends in the neighborhood,
whilst his wife and children embarked
ON the Queens yacht, and were soon in
the embraces of their Danish kith and
kin at Bernstorf Castle, the King of
Denmark's pleasant simmer abode. To
no other class has rapid communication
probably contributed more pleasure. In
former days the daughter of roval
