by this method, count of 500 bushels

good; besides, your soil is all the time
improving. IN France, where beets
are raised by the thousand acres for
sugar, the country has improved so
much that it is estimated that the soil
is now four or five times as productive,

has completely transformed the coun-

your compost heap will be increased

Measuring the Baby.

We measured riotous baby
Against the cottage wall:
A lily grew at the thresholds.
And the boy was just tan.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and clld.
And heart like a jewcied chalice.
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbird wnist1ed.
High up IN the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
Inc red rose rocked her bees:

have witnessed its effects are in favor
of its universal adoption as the safest

From Mrs. Swisshelm's Note Book.


The first white person executed in
Minnesota was woman. As an illus
tratlon of her class of intellect, it is told
that when she went to tie Territory,
she took with her from Central illinois
bucket OF butter, kept ii in her state
room on first class boat. and carried
1t IN her hand to a hotel (the Mer-
chants, keeping it by her side III the
parlor and her bedroom, while leaving
her other baggage to be handled by
porters. She had heard that butter
was scarce IN that part of the country,
and had brought her supply. This
and her general appearance and be-
havlor led to the belief that she was
person of weak mind. She mar
RED man who treated her
cruelty and died with symp-
toms OF poison. A chemist thought he
found arsenic in the stomach. and
druggist had sold her some of that
drug "to poison rats with There
was no attempt to dispute the chemical
tests. This expedIent was discovered
lately for the benefit of woman who
had not outllved the charms which
once drove rival claimants for her hand
to the verge of suicide and madness.
Being old, unattractive and poor, none
but the ladies' of st. Paul took any
special interest in her case and those
could only beslege the Governor for
pardon. His wife led a deputation of
them, knelt at his feet, and with tears
and PASSIONATE entreaty begged execu-
cutlve clemency, but the ugly woman
was hanged by the neck until she was
dead
A poor German woman was executed
near Philadelphia about five years ago,
and her confession, in broken English.
was one of the saddest things [ ever
read. Her man had "peat her, peat
her so much, made her work in the

peat her for not keeping up; peat
her for stopping to nurse her baby;
made her work in the house
while he rested and smoked, and peat her

he was. She was so tired; could eneyer
get no rested" She want to leave him
and go away but he take her children
from her; she have four little children:
he peat them, too; she could not leave
her children. She sorry she kill her
man; but she no know what to do, she
so tired.
The dailles made occasional news
items out of the case, and the poor old
WORKOUT slave was universally voted
moster of iniquity. The majesty of
law was indicated by sending her from
the gaIlows to the unerring Judgment,
where her toll worn hands and tortured
soul must have been very white com
pared to the beieweled fingers of the
charming monsters who slip SO grace
fully through the elastic meshes of our
man made laws.

not charming, and such charms as she

Stagnant Water.

The impression that when still water
III pools and III canals where is scarcely
a movement is extremely dangerous,
and especially when covered with con
ferva, admits of question At the
Hague, the capital of Holland, threaded
with canals IN which no current is per-
ceptible, they are SO densely carpeted
with thick green scum, strangers turn
away from them in fear, as though they
were poisoning the atmosphere. But
no such apprehension as being charged
with mephitic gases is expressed by
the inhabitants. They neither see nor
imagine any sanitary disturbance from
such course. Investigation shows
that the conferve is vegetable growth,
actually modifying and puri wing exha-
lations passing up through the delicate
covering. SO much for fact. With Ills
a green pool near dwelling is de
nounced as a nuisance requiring imme-
diate destruction, because it will gen
crate disease Skim off the purifying
conferve, that which excites apprehen-
sion and disease from the stagnant

4 Man Who Never Fills Out His Term.

The Chicago Evening Journal relates
the following of the present Governor of
Illinois: No sooner did Gen. John l..
Beveridge return from the war, in which
he was gallant cavalry officer, than he
was nominated for Sheriff of this county,
and elected. Before his term as Sheriff
had expired, he was elected State Senator
Before his Office OF Senator expired, he was
nominated AMI elected Congressman for
the State at large; to fill the vacancy
caused by General Logan's resignation.
Last Fall, before his term of Congressman
had expired, he was nominated and elect
ed Lieutenant Governor, which position he
entered upon two weeks ago and now,
Gov. Oglesby having resigned, Gen. Bev-
eridge becomes Governor of the State
Verify he is one Of the luckiest men, poll
tically, in the United States"

AGRICULTURAL.
Dairy Cows.


The grazIer selects animals contain
ing the best beef points possible To
oflhg the greatest returns they must be
good feeders, and lay on flesh in such
PORTIONS OF the carcass as sell for the
highest price. The dairy COW must
not be only a good feeder, but a good
drlnker, and III addition to this, the
milk producing functions should be
highly developed, even ut the expense
OF other parts ofthe system. The dairy
COW should have ample belly, large
milk veins, awell developed mot fieshy)
udder, a fine head and neck. rather
hight shoulders, be full in the barrel TO
accommodates the lungs as well as the
stomach and intestines, with large
6uttocks and well-developed hams.
ouch cattle are not easy to find among
tie common COWS of this country
1hey are the exception, and not the
rule.
Among the distinct breeds, the
Ayrshire comes nearest to the good
dairy COW; combines the essential
points, to our mind, more closely than
any other breed. This being admitted,
the course OF the dairy farmer is plain.
Select COWS Of the ordinary breed of
the locality, that combine the best
characteristics for milk, and breed to
Ayrshire bulls of an approved family.
By careful selection through a few
generations, you may improve your
stock wonderfully; ana, thereafter, in
crease and perpetuate the milking
qualities of The herd
III some other qualities are desired
as exceeding richness in the milk, these
may be attained through a cross with
the Jerseys and SO with other quail
ties predomlnatlng in any given breed.
At all events, the daITyman must him
self help to secure these points wanted,
although much may be gained by be-
ginning right.
As a case in point, we quote from an
address OF Mr.. Joseph a. Home, of
4Mctheun, Mass. before the Essex
County Agricultural Society, where,
putting the average yield of milk in
this country at l 300 quarts per COW, he
thought those of Essex County would
reach 1000 quarts To show the com
paratlve merits of common and first
class mixers, he gave the following
stem of his own experience
y" He selected three cows from his
nerd, one'of which had been kept upon
the place several seasons, and it was
thought to be fully an average COW 4:
the other two were superior The
quantity OF milk produced by each was
carefully noted each week for a year.
The result showed, that while the aver
age cow produced ?, 100 quarts per
year, one of the others produced 3, 100,
and the other 3, 800 quarts in the same
Tune. There was no perceptible differ
ence IN the cost of keeping

California Marble.

1t is a fact, not generally known, that
the colored marble Of California is SUI
perior in point OF beauty to any Euro
pean production Of like nature, and is
preferred by the Italians to the mar
bles OF their own country, where it is
sold by the pound and is used in We
neering. This marble is found in de-
tached powders, below the surface of
the earth, near Suisnn, Solano county,
and may be quarrIcd at small ex-
pense. In 1858 large quantities Of the
marble We're taken out and sent to Eu-
rope by capitalists of this city. and
subsequently,, on account OF inefficient
management, or for some unknown
reason, the business failed to pay, and
was suspended. Mr.. Heverin, of the
Pioneer Steam Marble Works, during
a visit to Italy, two years ago, noticed
that the Italians placed a high value
upon California marble, and he finally
became SO much impressed with the
Importance of the product that he de-
termined to utilize it in his manufac-
tory. Several articles made of the
marble have found a ready sale, and,
despite its inconvenient locality, the
stone is becoming popular here. In
the Office on Jackson street, between
Montgomery and Sansome, is polish
ed block of this marble, which Mr..
Heverin has quarried and intends for
warding to the Vienna Exposition at
bis own expense. The block is one
foot square and eighteen inches long,
and weighs 275 pounds. The marble
is of beautiful tortoise-shell color,
with occasional veins that remind one
of petrified wood, and is susceptible OF
fine polish. The marble will do cred
it TO the state. A mantle of California
marble, rare piece of workmanship
has recently been completed by Mr.
Heverin.-S0l francisco Bulletin.

An Easy Way to Health.

The appetite is generally keener in winter than il
summer, but the same low temperature which be-
gets increased desire for food apt to decrease
the ability of the stomach to digest it. The most
aggravated cases of acute dyspepsia occur at this
season. and the best, in fact, the only way, to con-
troll and cure them is to tone and stimulate the
stomach and lnvigorate and regulate the Sc
cretive and dschsrgng organs. To do this promptly,
safely and thoroughly without involving any change
in the ordinary habits of the nvalid,) course of
