Highway Robbery and Attempted
Murder.

On Saturday evening last Peter Kane.
a farm hand, in the employ of Mr.. Geo.
Rensen, OF Hampstead, while returning
from New \ ork with his team was met
on the turnpike near Brushville by a
well dressed young man, who asked him
for ride to the village of Hampstead,
at the same time saying that he had
missed the last train. Kane, believing
his story, allowed him to get into the
wagon, and they rode on together until
within half a mile of the village. when
the stranger drew his pistol and demand
ed of Kane his money or life. At this
demand Kane stopped over to pick up
the hay fork from the bottom of the
wagon to defend himself, when the
highwayman fired at him twice, both
shots striking him, one in the left breast
and one in the shoulder The stranger
then grappled with him, and, the team
starting on a run, he fell from the
wagon The team continued on their
way until they reached the village,
where Names cries of murder attracted
the notice or some of the villagers, who
stopped the teain' and, taking Kane from
the wagon, procured medical assistance,
but the physicians We're unable to find
the balls, and yesterday the unfortunate
man was removed to the hospital with
but little prospect of his recovery. The
would-be murderer and robber is believed
to be one of the Water Works laborers
who no doubt expected assistance at this
part of the road from some of his com
panions; otherwise he would have shot
Kane at some more lonely part of the
road, when he would have been sure of
making good his escape Kane at HE
time had upon his person the money
that he had received for the hay, and n
silver watch which the thief grabbed
after shooting him, but dropped on the
road when he fell from the wagon.

Boiled CoRN FOR Hoes. l.. w.
Coggswell, of lIenniker, n. H., SAYS of
boiling corn for hogs; Il experimental
five years in fattening hogs, three with
meal well scalded and cooked before
feeding the other two in feeding corn
boiled. | shelled the corn from the cob
and boiled it slowly in boiler and fed
eight quarts per hog, daily, keeping the
boiler well covered all the time, so as to
save all the heat possible. The hogs
that | fed with boiled corn fattened.f1l-
ly one-third faster than with meal. and
the pork was well packed with lard
leaf, and was solid and delicious enough
for the most fastidious
One of my neighbors has fattened
bis hogs for several years past on dry
meal, giving two quarts to each hog
three times a day; for drink he gives
them cold water He claims this to be
the cheapest and best way. Certainly
there are no better hogs than he raises,
for their age and no cleaner, handsomer
pork.

CuItivating good SOIL.

l perceive by the report Of the agri-
cultural meetings reported in your val
liable journal but little is said in rela-
ton to the cultivation of the best soil in
the State
Now, New Hampshire has plenty of
good land that should be cultivated to
its utmost capacity. The masses of our
farmers have no idea of the capability
of our soil for the production of crops
properly MANFRED and cultivated.
Now. one thing | have observed +:
Many farmers spend their labor on some
hard corner of the farm-a worthless
soil Of no possible value only for the
production of wood, rcaping a scanty
harvest from their best soils.
At the present price Of labor and farm
produce | do think there are already
men enough engaged in farming. Our
crops could be doubled in ten years by
cultivating half the breadth that is now
cultivated in this state alone, to say
nothing of the enhanced value of the
farms and the large balance that would
be left in the farmers pockets at the
end of ten years.
Scarce as lumber and fuel have be-
come in many portions Of the state. this
poor soil should he Immediately turned
to forest, not only that it may pay a
profit to the owner and bis heirs but re-
lease the owner from the labor of its
cultivation, enabling him TO give his
whole attention to his best acres, leav-
ing him large balance as each success
sive harvest comes round.
Now, New England is land of trees.
Here no sowing of the seed is required
All our poor land wants is simply to be
let alone. No woodlands axe should be
allowed to invade it, As the years pass
by its value will increase year by
year.
But, many of your readers will say.
what shall we do for pasturing | will
answer, soil from the best acres, and
save all the manure, that is now lost, of
no possible value, and apply it TO the
fields.

The Producers Prize Current says {:
The tone for the market has been in the
sellers favor, ii ough no material adj
vance can be noted The situation
seems to gain in strength. Receipts are
very light, large part of the
quantity being rolls. The quantity OF
butter in sight, taking a view of the
whole continent, does not seem sufficient
to carry us through to new, even at the
moderate rate of consumption we have
had during the past three weeks. Eng
fish advices are very strong for butter,
noting a material advance. 1t is not
improbable that we may have inquiries
from shippers, but it is not likely that
we shall be able to spare them many
packages of such grades as they desire.
Occasional sales of exceptional diaries,
tubs or frkins are reported at prices
slightly in advance of our quotations.
Western packed is in very light receipt,
and the stock here is very much re-
] duced.

Where the Bread Is Produced.

The export and freight of Western
grain, about which so much has been said,
involves some elementary facts which
have been overlooked In the discussion OF
the question. Twenty States of the Union
do not produce their own bread, and only
ten are in condition to export grain with
any advantage. The five States of the old
Northwest, the four States of Iowa, Min
nesota, Missouri and Kansas, can export
largely, and so can California. of wheat
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee can export a little.
These ten States have to supply New Eng.
land, New York and New Jersey, also
the seven cotton States, not one of which
could live without the West.
The South raises cotton while the West
feeds it, and the large surplus of Western
production goes to England and Europe
Yet the enormous increase of the crop ol
grain during the past few years has
brought the farmer little or no increase oi
money on account of over-production and
the want of an increasing market. The
greatest increase in the ratio of exports tC
Europe is found in animal products
pork, lard, beef, butter and cheese-In
dian corn in other forms. The export oi
the contracted product this year, thus far
has been immense, and farmers are begin
ming to learn that the Older country
is the fewer animals it keeps. We now
export nearly half the cheese made in
the United States.-Boston Globe.

Value Of Land in Great Britain.

According to Land and Water, the an
nual value Of land In England and Wales
Is estimated to have risen six times since
1858. Mr.. John mcdonnell, in his re-
Gently published book on the land ques-
ton, tells us SO 4; and that this rise has
been going on of late is proved by glance
at the property tax returns, which show
that between 1858 and 1870 the annual
value of the rent-bearing area of the
United Kingdom increased from EAT ,559,-
600 to E66, $4,000. At the same time,
even during the present century, there
ing the French war they rose enormously.
After the peace they fell ten to thirty
three per cent. Under the influence of the
Corn Laws, they again rose, to decline
shortly after those measures had been re-
pealed. From 1852 to the present time
they have steadily risen. As to urban
land, square foot in Victoria street lets
for f1 sterling. A piece of ground In Hol-
born, bought In 1852 for EGO, now yields
$4,000 year. A wharf in Castle Bay
nard, bought for 1000 in 1870, lately re-
allied E1l0,0OO. An acre of land In South
Kensington, which was sold for G3, 200 In
1861, fetched 423, $50 In 1860. We are told
that the price of an acre of the most val
liable uncovered land in the city Of Lon
don, after the Great Fire In 1850, was
e30,000, or about one-third of the value
when built upon. At the present time,
the highest rate for such unbuilt land may
be taken at Gl 100000 an acre, and such
value constitutes fully three-fourths OF
the value of the property after 1t has
buildings upon it.

To Judge Ripe Cheese.

Mr.. <. B. Arnold, in his annual address
at the late session of the American Dairy
mems Association, in speaking Of ripe
cheese, thus stated the way to judge OF
its quality and some of the changes
which take place in its proper ripening
An expert can distinguish the different
conditions OF cheese at glance; but con-
sumers are not generally experts.
Their acquaintance with the characteris-
tics of cheese is so slight that but few are
able to distinguish the good from the
poor, and they purchase, If they buy at
all, just what happens to be set before
them. 1t is not easy to make this dis
elimination with words. Experience and
observation must be the only true guides
The extremes of maturity and immatu
rity may be easy enough to define, but 1t
would be rs difficult to describe the inter-
mediate stages as it would be to state the
precise time when an apple Is ripe. But
I will name some of the external indica-
tiOns of fitness or unfitness for use. The
proper stage of ripeness is characterized
by total want of elasticity when pressed
with the finger. The cheese feels as If
breaking under the finger, and the dent
remains; has salvy and oily appearance
when mashed between the thumb and
finger; drying and cracking readily when
exposed to the air q harsh and dry ap-
pearance in the trier, and want of fat
and disinclination to melt when masti-
Gated. 1t is not enough that cheese is soft
or free from Objectionable fiavors. 1t
must have its caseine changed and its
tough curd nature broken down so as to
dissolve easily. Cheese that dries rapidly
on being cut may always be relied on as
not having yielded up its curdy nature to
the cheesy fermentation, and Is subject to
the charge of difficult digestion. The wa
ter in curd is feebly retained-most Of 1t
mechanically held in minute cavities;
while in ripe cheese it enters into chem.
ical union with the new products formed
by the more complete fermentation, and
contributes to the buttery appearance of
ripe cheese, and hence does not evaporate
so readily.
