Lung Vow, a Chlnaman, was
hung at Walla Walla last Friday.
The &5tesmda,, in speaking of the
execution, says: "rhe hanging OF
Lung Vow is the first legal execu-
tion that has been had in Walla
Walls county, and this, notwith-
standing we have had scores and
scores Of murders, some Of them
characterized with circumstances
of peculiar atrocity. IL all these
cases the offenders had eitl .er money
or friends, and SO they escaped
punishment. Lung Vow had
neither money nor friends, and for
him the law had no mercy. 1t is
the old story. Gid crime with
gold, and the bloodiest offender can
snap his fingers at the law; but let
the poor and triendless dip his
hands in blood, and al the enginery
of the law is at once set at work to
hunt him down."

General J. p. Osterhaus, our
Consul at Lyons, France, has fur
nished the Agricultural Department
some statements relative to poultry
raising IN France which may he OF

that country feeds 10000 900
hens aunua ly, worth total OF
shout lO0,O00,000 francs The
practice Of making capons (emas-
culating tile males) is very common,
and the females are also rendered
incapable ofbreediig, Icing unsexed

This gives them a tendency to fat

or have ceased to be fertile. Pull
lets Of the largest breeds are geller-
ally selected for this purpose.
About one-ifth of the 40,0OO,OO0
hens are 50 treated, and yield, at the
above quotation, 20 100000 francs.
Besides the poularies, 2,OOO,O 900
capons are annually sold, yielding
100000 francs. The 40O,OOO,OOO
stock hens produce every year at
least lOO,000,000 young chickens.
If, of this humber, 100000 are
allowed to replace the one-fth sac

100000 for various casualties,
there remain S0,O0O,OOO spring

sum of 100000. 900 francs. For the
sake OF accuracy, the enhanced
value of the poulardes and capons
must be taken into the account; this
is not less than 100000 francs,
and raises the aggregate realized
annually from the sale of the vari-

A new combination in the Allan

A new combination in the Allan
tic and Pacific K. r. Co. on the
9th, is the result Of q trip from
which J Edgar Thompson, Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, has just returned, in
which he went over the completed
portion Of the road to Venita, In
dian Territory, the point ofjuncture
OF the Atlantic and Pacific road
with the Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as road. Mr.. Scott, the new Presi-
dent, is now in Europe on business
connected with the foreign debt of
the Texas and Pacific road, but
will probably return Immediately
upon receiving notification OF the
new arrangement. The Directory
is now composed of some OF the
heaviest railroad men in the East
Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. Scott, a"d Mr..
Solomon. of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral. The latter is financial agent
of that Company. Alfred 7. De-
vine is President of the united rail-
roads Of New Jersey, and the New
York connection of the Pennsylva-
MIA Central. Besides these, Gener-
al Fisk, the new Treasurer, states
that a number OF heavy capita lists
of other railroads have taken large
interests in the Atlantic and Pacific.
In consequence Of this combination,
the line OF the Texas Pacific road
will probably be DETECTED north
ward, and form connection with
the 35th parallel road at a point
between ALA Querqu, New Mexico,
and the southern line of that Terri
tory, thence westward, both roads
to use the present located route on
the thirty-6fth parallel to the Pa
Cific Coast. Upon Mr. Scott'S re-
turn, the construction Of the road
will again be pushed forward rap
idly.

A Quaker Printers proverbs.

Never send thou article for publi-
cation without giving the editor thy
name, for thy name oftentimes Sc
cures publication to worthless ar
ticles.
Thou shoulst not rap at the door
of printing Office, for he that an
swereth the rap sneereth in his
sleeves, and loseth time.
Neither do thou loaf about, ask
questions, or knock down type, or
the boys will love thee like they do
shade trees-when thou leaveth.
Thou shouldst never read the copy
on the printers case, or the sharp
and hooked container thereof, or he
may knock thee down.
Never inquire thou Of the editor
for the news, for behold It'll his bus
mess at the appointed time to give il
to thee, without asking.
It is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author of an ar
ticle, for it is his duty to keep such
things unto himself.
When thou dost enter his Office
take heed unto thyself that thou dos
not look at what may be laying oper
and corncerneth thee not, for tha
is not meet in the sight of gOOr
breeding.
Neither examine tue proof sheet
for it is not ready to meet thine eye
that thon mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper u
any other, and subscribe for it i'm
mediately.
Pay for it in advance, and i
shall be we'll with thee and thine.

Sound ideas on FarmIng.

A lecture delivered at Baltimore
Maryland, contains propositions pc
culiarly applicable to the eastern
portion of the United States, and al
but the third proposition will apply
with equal force everywhere. They
are:
l. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits OF the
capital and labor employed; or, in
other words, that on impoverished
soils no one should cultivate more
land than he can enrich with manure,
and fertilizers, be it one acre OF
twenty.
3. That there should be a law com
pelling every man to prevent his
stock from depredating on his neigh,
bors' fields.
8. That soiling or feeding crops
green is more economical than pas.
turing.
4 That deep tillage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the
farmers bank, and that everything
be added to it that will enlarge it
and increase at the same time its
fertilizing properties.
6. That no farmer or planter
should depend upon one staple alone,
but should seek to secure himself
against serious loss in bad seasons
by diversity of products.

Raising Potatoes.

A correspondent of the American
Farm journal, gives the following
description of his method of culti-
waiting potatoes:
"To raise a good crop Of potatoes,
it is necessary to plant on land that
is adapted to potatoes. In Western
New York, and perhaps anywhere, a
gravelly soil is the best. I prefer
old ground where the sod was turn
ed under the year previous. If the
land needs manure, let it be used the
year before on some other crop, and
the land got up in condition before
you plant potatoes. The ploughing
should be done in the fall, and lit
tie deeper than for any other crop.
The earlier that you plant in the
spring the better, in the majority of
cases.
81 usually plant all sizes except
the very smallest, and use from four
to six bushels per acre. In cutting
l leave from one to five eyes on a
piece, generally about three. I Iplant
in drills, with the pieces about four
teen inches apart, the rows three
feet apart. Most people use from
ten to fourteen bushels per acre. l
get as many potatoes as they do,
and often use but one-third as much
seed. To plant fast it needs horse,
a plough, a man to hold the plough,
boy to ride, (unless you drive)
and a man to drop. l first mark out
four rows on one side Of the piece.
When this is done l an on the same
side Of the field that I was when l
started. The next time 1 go across
the piece, l cover the outside row.
When l get to the other side of the
piece l drive across the three rows
not covered, and coming back /
make another mark. Every time l
go across the piece from the side
from which started l cover a row,
and on coming back make mark.
This turns the furrow right back,
that you made in making The mark.
Some object to this way of planting,
as it leaves a ridge in the way of
cultivator. l drive my drag teeth
back about One-third, and when the
potatoes begin to show, I drag them
lengthways of the row. This re.
moves the ridge and the objection,
and they are as good as hOed once.
If the ground is not weedy they will
want but one more hoelng until the
blossom-buds begin to start, when
they should be killed. Don't make
a little narrow pile as an apology
for hill, but a broad fiat one that
will hold all of the potatoes without
crowding."

Here is a true dog story. A family
down town having a false CRATE in
one Of the rooms of the house plac-
ed a piece Of red paper behind it to
give it the effect Of fire. One Of the
coldest days this winter, the dog be-
longing to the household came in
from out of doors, and seeing the
paper in the CRATE deliberately walk
ed up and laid down before it, curl
ing up in the best way to receive
the glowing heat as it came from
the fire. He remained motionless
for a few minutes; feeling no warmth
he raised his head and looked over
his shoulder at the CRATE; still feel
ing no heat he arose and carefully
applied his nose to the CRATE and
smelt of it. 1t WIS as cold as ice
With look of supreme disgust, his
tail curled down between his legs
every hair on his body saying, "l'n
sold" the dog trotted out of the
roOm.-Troy Times.
