ceased came to his death through his own

N removing the body Of Mr. Welch to
Rock Island for an examination nor is
this the first time he has done the same

considers the Moline people unqualified ia

considered as perquisites that should be-
long to him and his Rock Island friends
1t may be- also, that railroad influence
had something to do with it, fearing the
verdict Of our outraged citizens, for it is
well known that trains have been run nj
fearful rates of speed through our CITY.
We hope the coroner viii explain matters

STOCK DYING on THE RALRoAp.-A
friend writing to a member of the VILLAGE
RECORD office from the East Liberty Stock
Yards, near Pit,sburg, Monday evening last
says; at is as warm as summer. Yesterday
there was more dead than live stock arrived al
the yards. Out of some cars there were but
four or five pigs living. Orer tlco thousand dead
pigs arrived at the yards in one day. 1t was
fearful. One of the most extensive shippers here
says that in all his experience he never saw any,
thing like it." The Pittsburg Gazette attributes
the death OF the pigs more to a want of proper
attention than to the effects of the heat That
paper says; "On Monday afternoon stock
train OF fifteen hundred hogs arrived at the
stock yards in furnished condition. They had
died for want of proper care during the trip.
They belonged to 5. Allerton and others of Chi
cage, and had been shipped from that point pack.

no food or water during the entire trip.
When they left Chicago the weather was
quite cold, but 1t soon became warmer. and be
ing thus huddled together, many were smoth

Liberty the stencil was terrible. All the teams
that could be brought into requistion were u.s.

CORN IN HILLS AND DBILLs.-At the Mich.
gan Agricultural College IN 1868, two plots OF
land were set apart, substantially equal in char.
acter OF soil, each measuring forty-eight rods in
width. The ground was plowed May 8, and
manure was spread evenly and worked in BY
cultyator and harrow. Yellow Dent corn was
planted May q in rows four feet apart; one Of
the plots being planted i'll hills, the other in
drills. The plots were cultivated and hoed
June 10, and again, July 7; the plants being
| thinned so as to leave the same number Of
| stalks on each plot, including the equal distri-
button of plants throughout the subdivision OF
the plots. As nearly as possible, each of the
| two plots received the same amount of labor
| and cultivation. The stalks was cut Sent. IT,
and stacked in good order; three weeks after.
| ward the corn was husked and weighed. The
| stalks then again carefully stacked, and were
hauled and weighed, in good condition, Oct. IL
The corn on the portion planted in hills was
better in quality than on that planted in drills
| But the drilled portion produced seventy-four
| and one-siyth bushels shelled corn, and three
tons OF stalks to the acre, against sixty-five aud
| one-half bushels Of shelled corn, and two and
two-thrds tons Of stalks per acre produced b,
