The death of Hon James Brooks
creates a vacancy in one of the CON
gressional districts of New York
city. 1t is to be hoped that it
will be filed by the election of Hon. S.
S. Cox. The fact that Mr.. Cox resides in
another district is not constitutional OBJ
lection, and ought not to be regarded asan
objection ON any account. The contempt
ible meanness Of the radicals apportioned
him into republican district, and he was
therefore nominated for representative Of
the state at large but was defeated with
the rest of the Greeley ticket. Mr.. Cox be
longs TO congress, and New York owes it
the nation to send him there. He is an
able and upright representative, and more
over, though he is not clown of the Jim
Nye style, he furnishes leaven of humor
10 the proceedings Of the house which can
not be spared. Chicago Times.
The Times is slightly in error Mr.. Cox
resides at No, 10 East 18th street, between
University Place and Fifth Avenue, in the
Fifteenth ward, and in the Fifth Brooks
Congressional district, as now constituted.
A Republican legislature districted New
York City so as 10 place Cox and Brooks
both in the same district the 5th) then
Brooks got the nomination-after which
Cox was taken up for Congressman at large
and was defeated by Lyman Tremaine,
We very much hope the Democrats in the
9TH district will now send Mr.. Cox to Con.
gress fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr.. Brooks.

The Cron Prosneet.

Quite a number Of prominent farmers
from various sections Of our county have
been in town this week, it being court week,
and VIC have had an opportunity to talk
with some Of them in regard to crop pros
poets. Among those we met were Judge
Kistler, of Buffalo Prairie, and VIM. A.
Marshall, of Canoe Greek, from the two
extreme ends of the county. Judge X. is
now 20 wears of age He is still very act
i've in relation to his business affairs, and
takes as lively an interest in public af
fairs as ever. From the gentlemen we
met we learn that the small grains, as gen
eral thing, were got in early and well :;
that owing to the low price of corn a great
err breadth of wheat has been sown than
usual, and that this cereal is looking well,
with fair prospects of good crop. Corn
planting is late owing to the cold, wet and
backward spring. Farmers are just begin
ming to prepare their ground forcor and,
with favorable weather, next week will find
good many pieces under way. The grass
prospect is excellent.
Judge Kistler has six sons, lone mar
riedl and three daughters tall marriedl
and the farms owned by him, and
his sons, and his sonsin-law, form
very considerable portion of Buff
alo Prairie, They are among the best
people of the county. Two of the boys,
Daniel and David, are taking trip through
the Rocky Mountain region this summer.
The farms of this family are generally de-
voted to corn which they feed to cattle on
their own places. This branch Of business
has proved more successful than wheat
raising in this region.

were frequent. Here is lesson for us.
The amount of injury done to the child,
directly and indirectly, to mind and bo-

chers are not always to blame; indeed
rarely are they. But committees, who
shape the instruction and apportion the
time, are generally the sinners. Ignor

It requires both attention and expert
ence to produce butter in the shortest
time. If the cream be too warm, it
froths great deal and thin liquid ap
pears in the vessel, especially at high
temperatures; when the cream is too
cold, it froths too, but appears thick,
like freshly fallen snow. In the latter
case, the cream ought to be warmed, and
the former, cooled. The appearance OF
the butter globules also serves to indi-
cate whether the cream is too warm or
too COOL In the former case the glob
ules are soft and melting, in the latter,
hard; in both cases a slower churning
is advisable Old cream produces
butter sooner than fresh. A tempera-
ture between 7jdeg. and sJdeg. is best
in churning, and the cream should be
skinned off Fresh air and strict
cleanliness of the vessels are indespensa-

Tas cureaiio Mastered at East.

The following, is one Of the most
sensible plans Of killing the Curculio
that we have yet seen, even better than
the Earring process in some respects,
being much easier; still that should not
be omitted. We quote from the Ohio
Farmer.
"For many years past the Curculio
has been an almost unconquerable
enemy Of the fruit grower, and not a
few have cut down their plum trees az
cumberers Of the ground, not receiving
any return from them. | have remain
ing few nice trees, left standing for
ornament and shade, and year after
year these trees have bloomed and set
full, but III spite of every effort, until
the present season, not quart of fruit
was received While the trees were in
full bloom last Spring, my wife deter
minen to try an experiment upon one
of tn, M, which she did, and it resulted
more f4vorably than could have been
expected.
Early every morning, while in full
bloom, cornm, al was stiewn over the
ground beneath the branches, and the
whole flock from the poultry yard at
once set to work to gather up the
particles of grain. The ground was
daily thoroughly scratched over, and
meal, insects, and everything to the
fowls edible gathered up. Later in the
season a brood Of chickens were cooped
beneath the tree, and the operation of
sowing meal still continued The OPP
GRAFTON was not omitted for day from
the time of putting forth of the trees
until the plums were beyond the reach
ofthe little pests.
Now, for the result: This tree, and
this aloNp, was loaded with fruit, to the
perfect amazement of all who saw it
1t was literally covered with fruit, as
perfect as could be desired. So heavily
were the limbs laden that props had to
be nsed all around the tree. | really
believe there were more and better
plulns upon This single free than in all
the township, and am also disposed to
say, all Of the county.
Not a plum matured on any other
tree on my premises; and all are Of the
same variety as the one saved.
would earnestly urge trial Of this
method by all who have fruit-trees. 1t
will certainly be continued by me, as |
believe it to be specific against the
ravages Of insects"
