DRowNED.-Last Friday afternoon two
OF Mr. Northrup's boys from Beacon, &C
companied by a young boy Is years of
age, named Osro Yanvleet, ofKaDsas, who
was here with his parents on visit, went
to Des Moines River swimming After pad
ding around for while, young Vanyleet
got in beyond his depth, and s.rangled.
His young companions saw he was drown
ing and tried to save him but were unable
to do so. They gave the alarm to man
near by who was hauling sand, but he
could not swim and could not render as
sistance. The sorrowful word was brought
home to his parents. Parties were formed
to search for the body but without avail
until Monday evening, when it was found
about mile below the place where he
was drowned, standing upright in drift.
The afflicted family were visiting relatives
-Messrs. Orvis, Wallace and Northrup,
and the blow came with crushing force,
nearly distracting them. They have the
sympathy of the community.
FIRE.-This dreaded cry aroused our
slumbering citizens about two o'clock
Sunday morning last and the cause was
found to be at the st. James Hotel. The

saw the cause and raised the alarm. Mr..
Potter, the landlord, on rushing out made
his way up to the attic and found the whole
room in flames He says it resembled an
oven fired up. On ascending to the roof
he found The flames bursting out in score

Profits Of the Dairy.

We send away from East Tennessee
hundreds of dollars every year for cheese.
This, when we takeinto consideration the
fact that we have dairy farms equal to any
in the United States, must strike every
sensible man as piece of folly. There is
nothing more profitable, when properly
conducted, than good dairy farm. The
following item from an exchange will give
some idea of the wealth of few of the
dairying districts
Herkimer, n. y. ships annually over
100000 pounds of cheese and 100000
pounds of butter, worth 81 10000 in the
market. st. Albans, VT, ships 1,OOO,0OC
pounds of cheese and 2,750,O00 pounds Of
butter, worth in the market 81, $50, 600
The village of Wilmington, Ohio, shipped
1900, 900 pounds d cheese in 1869, worth
81 900.
We might build up a profitable business
in this line VINO will be the first to try
it and grow rich

ABOUT LAWNs.-"I wish you would
tell me what to do with my lawns, writes
friend. Well, we ask about it" Why,
somehow the grass seems to have got thin,
and don't look good and strong; the soil
is rather light, although every year have
given it top dressing of stable manure in
the fall and raked it all off in the spring"
Yes, we say, just as many another man
void of knowledge of the wants of the
grass roots have done. You have supplied
little stimulus, and a very little one, to
enable the plant to make a first start in
spring, by reason of the ammOniacal alkali
obtained from the teaching of the manure
during winter, and as soon as that is eX-
hausted, which generally is ere the heated
season comes in, the plant has nothing but
the poor old soil and its broken roots to
support it. Now, if you would first sow
over your lawn fine bone meal at the rate
of eight bushels to the acre, then salt at
the rate of four bushels to the acre, then
plaster at the rate of one bushel to the
acre, then cover the whole half an inch
thick with fine garden soil, leaf mold,
or fine chip mold from an old woodward
pile, and then SOW clean blue grass seed at
the rate of two bushels to the acre, and
rake the whole with a fine tooth iron rake,
finish by rolling, and we guarantee you a
lawn that will keep fresh and green all
summer, no matter how dry the season.
We hope some of our button-hOling
friends will read this, cut it out and
keen it,

STEAM CULTIVATION IN EURoPE.-Ata an agri-
cultural meeting lately held in Scotland Mr.. Grey
OF Aberdeen gave some account of the progress of
steam cultivation since 1855, in which year the
late John Fowler started his first steam plow in
Essex, which was very successful attempt.
He subsequently expended $780, 900 in expert
ments, but after few years he had nothing to
represent this amount of invested capital except
lot of old machinery. The solution of the
question whether blowing could be doDechcap
with steam than with horses was decided in
1858; its importance may be learned from the
fact that there works in the country employing
1900 men in nothing else than making steam
plows. One farmer IN Egypt employs 400 steam
plOws he is also laying down 400 miles OF rail
way on his farm, principally to carry sugar cane
to his mills, and has ordered thirty locomotives
engines, and s8,O00,000 worth Of sugar ma
chinery. This farmer is the pacha. In Ger
many steam culture is making q revolution in
agriculture. IN England there are between 400
to 800 sets Of tackle working for hire. These
are held by companies as we'll rs BY private in
diYidgas the investment has been found to be
profitable.

London, that could not be rented at So per acre.
lie took down all the fences, drained the land,
Dough steam pillow, and put all 10 grain crops.
Last year his clear profits were SIS 900, after
allowing SO per acre for rent. The soil is IL
still clay that cannot be cultivated probably by
horse power, Another farmer bought FIVE thou
sand acres OF what was considered worthless clay
land, and by steam power stirred 1t three feet
deep, producing crops last year nearly seven
feet high,
In Scotland steam cultivation is hopominC
quite general, producing astonishing results
Many of the farmers there have invested from
$4,000 10 $4,000 in steam machinery, and find
that it pays better than horse power. Joint
stock companies are also in existence that ins
vest IN land and steam machinery, and secure
large diyidends.--JOupndi Of Chemistry.

The Charleston Is. c. News, democratic
paper, states that the republican party of South
Carolina is now firmly arrayed against the cor
rupt rings of that state, and very much in earn
est for "Grant and state REFORM" 1t adds that
if any portion OF the republicans could be trans
formed into Greeleyites, "they would be
brought into new alliance with the corrupt
crew they are now denouncing." Under these
circumstances, the more respectable and inau-
entail democrats have resolved that instead of
giving a Complimentary vote" for the demo-
cratic candidates, they will vote for Grant, in
order to accomplish something substantial in
the way of local REFORM" The republican party
of that state, itsays, can give Grant thirty thou
sand majority, and no part Of its vote can be
diverted from him. Meanwhile, the corrupt
rings are against Grant The News says
"a number Of Influential members of the re-
publican party ale striving vigorously TO purify
the state government. They are, nevertheless,
the staunch supporters of the present admins
tration. Most Of them are actual or potential
office holders under the national government.
They are guided in their opposition to the Scott
Moses ring by the tacit or expressed wishes of
President Grant far more than by Il love of re-
form for its own sake. 1t would cost
them their official heads to raise a
finger for Greeley. They are ready
enough to talk and write against Scott
Moses, Neagle and Parker, and to demand the
election OF good men in October, but it is nois-
pensable that they should, upon all oecasions
chant the praises OF Grant. Even Mr.. c. e.
Bowen, who in other things has them at his
beck and call, could not persuade the colored
voters of the low country TO support the Cincin
matt ticket. He has convinced them that they
should fight TO the last against the Columbis
ring. This they will do. But he cannot, FOL
the reasons already given, induce them 10 wage
war upon Grant"
This account of the situation in South Caro-
lima, can not be very acceptable TO those who
have sought 10 persuade us that the administra
ton is in some way responsible for the "rings'
in that state. Here we have the testimony Of
leading democratic paper to the fact, that loca
reform, there, must he sought through the re
publican party, and that this party, stimulate,
by 'the taeit or expressed wishes of Presiden
Grant," is now moving to put dowr
corrupiionists aud make state reform
a reality. This is so manifest that thos,
democrats who really seek reform, mean to ac
with them, which is wise, for in this way they
can make their counsel and influence effective
Down in Louisiana, too, Warmoth the great
head center of corruption and villany, with
his special ring, has gone over TO Greeley
while, on the other hand, Louisiana has an or
ganizaton of reform democrats" who will sup
port Grant and act with the Grant republican,
10 secure state reform.

We should be glad to see more general con-
demnation Of The practice Of pool selling and
other forms Of gambling in connection with col
lege boat races. The sale Of pools is conspicu.
Gus among the prelmnares of the rnce, and
has special prominence ia all the newspaper re.
ports. It has made more figure this year than
before, yet hardly any one cares TO say word Of
reproof or regret II may be said that some
form Of gambling on such an occasion is una
yoidable; that men will stake their money on
an uncertain event in which their feelings
aud wishes are warmly engaged. We admit il,
aud to our mind this is one of the strongest
reasons for discouraging the custom Of college
races. The temptation TO the vice of gambling
can never come 20 our young men in form SO
insidi0usy attractive as when il combines the
ordinary destinations common 10 all forms Of
chance with the desire 10 prove their confidence
in the prowess OF their college and conn AIDES.

EFFECTS OF ELECTRICITY ON MILK.-The
following is an extract from an address, before
the northwestern dairymen's association, by Mr.
X. A. Willard:
Mr.. Andrew Cross the celebrated English ex-
perimenter, considered that the roots and leaves
of plants were in opposite states of electricity (;
some OF his experiments in this direction are
very interesting. He cut two branches from q
rose tree. They were as nearly alike as posi-
Die, with the same number of buds, and both
equally blown. An arrangement was made by
which a negative current Of electricity was
passed through one, positive current through
the other. In few hours the negative rose
dropped and died, but the positive continued its
freshness for nearly fortnight; the rose itself
became full blown and the buds expanded, and
survived an unusual length of time. Again, be
was able TO keep milk sweet for three weeks in
the hottest weather of summer by the applica-
tlon OF current Of positive electricity
When the condition Of the atmosphere Is in
negative electrical state. Or shows deficiency
OF positive electricity, state OF weather which
we designate as sultry, muggy, and the like,
there Is always difficulty in keeping milk sound
Even in good, healthy milk, the fungus germs
common TO all milk increase and multiply with
great rapidity, producing the common Tactic acid
fermentation or sourilg OF the fluid; but in case
fungi from decOmpOallg animal or vegetable
matter come in contact with the milk, rapid de-
composition takes place, and we have rotten

posing Of such gurds TO the atmosphere, as well
as the aeratioD of milk to improve lis condition,
are both philosophical, because these minute
organisms of fungi are affected by the oxygen

multiplication,
Ibe influence Of electrical action Is a question
entirely new TO the dairy public, but il Is one

when the electrical equilibrium s disturbed. or
when the state Of the atmosphere indicates n
preponderanee of negative electricity we are Mi
made aware Of the fact by its depressing inHu

take more than ordinary care in the handling

The iact that milk may be kept sweet a long
time in hot weather by electrical action, will
offer very important suggestion 10 inventors
in the preservation Of milk, and perhaps in the
Improvement Of cheese at the factories. 1 be-
