This Side and the Other of the Lottery,

Under this caption the San Francisco
Bulletin INDUCES In SEINE inquiries Of
our Virginia contemporary, which, In
view OF their local interest, we repro
duce:
The Virginia City papers have de-
nounced the Omaha lottery scheme rs
a swindIe. and its manager as some
thing worse. The Enterprise quotes
from the Salt Lake Herald the follow
Ing statement:
upon last Thursday, in accordance
with the Instructions from the Post
Office Department at Washington, a
large number Of letters directed to
j. n. Pattee, general manager Of the
Omaha Lottery, we're seized and sent
to the dead letter office, whence they
will be returned to the writer's. The
authorities are determined to prevent
further use OF the mails by this con-
Germ. the drawing Of which Is adysr-
tised to take place on next Tuesday"
According to this statement, the
Post Office Department intertered at
the last moment and arrested letters
on the ground that the scheme was a
failure.
Now, the Enterprise having shown
up the Omaha Lottery, which was got
ten up ostensibly to aid In establishing
a lunatic asylum for Nebraska, will
the same paper enlighten the public
touching n lottery which has q stand
ing advertisement In Its columns, os-
tsnsibly to aid in founding q lunatie
asylum for Nevada? What, II any,
are the points Of difference? Is a lot
terry in Nevada a better thing per sc
than the same thing in Nebraska? Can
the Enterprise show that one scheme Is
honest and the other dishonest? Is the
difference wholly In the management
and the greater or lesser amounts
which the managers may divert to
their private pockets? The Enterprise
Is certainly In a position to tell the
public all about the Nevada Lottery,
and to enlighten us touching the pros
pectlve benefits which may inure to
the lunatics Of that State.

SIGNS Of trouble appear on the Texas
Mexican border. General Mckenzie
has been whipping the Kickapoos,
crossing into Mexican territory to get
at them. Adispatch says that he left
Fort Clark ostensibly to take a tour
around the country, but crossed the
Rio Grande on the night Of May 18th,

Ohio Republicans still give out their
convictions regarding the salary steal
in unmIstakable language. A mass
convention of the Republicans Of
Champaign county recently expressed
their sentiments upon the subject in
these forcible words:
Resoired, That rs Republicans We
condemn the iniquitous "back salary
grab" OF the late Congress, and that
we regard it our duty to bury, politI-
cally, every man, high or low, who
gave it any aid, c%ountenance or sup
port, and we hereby pledge ourselves
never to support any mar for public
office who voted for, or took the salary
after he voted against 1t that we de-
mand Of our Senators and Representa-
tives In Congress that they use their
influence and votes for the repeal OF
the law under which this steal was
perpetrated.

The Flying Ship.

As will be seen by the following
from the San Francisco Bulletin, this
great aerial navigator has burst her
boiler snd her trip Is unavoldably post
poned. Passengers will doubtless re-
csive money back for tickets they have
purchased.
The flying ship Gladiator, Fairview,
master, Was announced to sail from the
City Gardens at 2 o'clock yesterday,
aud a considerable crowd of spectators
was attracted to witness the departure
Of the novel craft. 1t was the inten-
ton Of the inventor, merely as an e1-
perimental trip, to make q few tacks
over the city then take ashort circuit,
touching on the SUBMITS of Dlablo and
Tamalpais, and return to his moorlngs
at the Gardens In about half an hour.
Unfortunately his plans were inter-
ruptel by a vexatious accident. The
body Of the ship had been properly In
flatsd, and tho operation Of filling the
great oblong balloon was in process at
about twelve O'Clock.
Professor Lay, who was assisting In
giving the ship full dispatch, had Just
descended into the forward hold to
order the stokers to turn on a full
head. Buislay was engaged In eating
the anchor at the bow, and Captain
| Fairview was standing on the poop
abaft the jigger shrouds, directing va
| rions details preparatory to casting of.
Suddenly a terrific, rending report was
heard, like the splitting Of a quart Of
| shelled peas into a stew-pan, and the
whole crew were Immediately thrown
into CONSERVATION. Captain Fairview
descended the g%ang-plank and an
nounced that something had broken,
and the spectators fled with much pre-
cipitation, holding their nasal organs
closely developed In handkerchiefs.
Professor Lay, with characteristic In
trepldity, clambered into the main
chains, and discovered that the ship
had exploded below the water line,
on the larboard bow, leaving q rent
In the cotton two rods and a half long.
Captain Fairvlew stated that had this
occurred after attaining an altitude Of
uNO tutlCS, VI SSOu IuiCC ollu ~ lniis
the ship would have become unman-
ageable, preached into the trough Of
the wind aud have 'foundered inevita-
bly,. There Is no record Of the passen-
gers on flying ships, on the occurrence
Of such accidents, ever having reached
shore alive to tell the tale. Thus are
the perils Of aerial navigation, In its
primitive stages, very great. 1t ap-
peared that the builder Of the flying
ship had used an improper quality Of
varnish In coating his balloon, aud the
fabric had become so completely rotted
In a few days that 1t was easily pune
tured by q pressure of the finger. He
Is not discouraged, however, BY the
mishap, but will Immediately set about
constructing a new balloon, and de-
clares his intention to 70 up, If he has
to be fired out of q mortar.

striking on his head aud fracturing the
skull, besides surtaining yer inter-
nal injuries. He was picked up In
sensible and laid In a comatose condi-
ton until he died. Mr.. Baker was a
forty-niner and we'll known In San

INDIANS

Just rs the Modocs seem to have
been subdued. and as the telegraph
announces the surrender Of half OF
more Of their number, we hear OF hos
tile movements among Indians all over
the coast and frontier. A large num-
Der of Goshsots from the Salt Lake
country, encamped in the vicinity Of
Spruce Mountain, New, are reported
a. we'll armed. and the Shoshones are
reported as visiting their camp, dane
ing the war dance and making speeches.
They have purchased all the powder
In that vicinity, and wsre first discov-
cred by their attempt to steal lead from
the Ingot Smelling Works. A petition
has bean sent to Judge Flack, of Elko,
from one Of the Grand Jurors, stating
that an outbreak wa looked for at any
moment, and asking for protection.
Nearly all the soldiers who were for
msrly stationed at Camp Halleck are
now In the Modoc country, so that the
settlers are without protection. The
chance, seem to be that II hostilities
break out suddenly, all the settlers in
that section will DO massacrsd before
aid can be afforded.
From the Upper Missouri come re-
ports of a stiIl more formidable up
rising. It Is said that three hundred
warriors and young men, belonging to
the Ysnkton Agency, near Fort Ran
dali, have left their Reservation to
join the hostile Indians on the Upper
Missouri, and that the Indians will
muster five thousand warriors In the
field this Summer. These reports
come reliably, and seem to indicate a
general outbreak, not only among the
Indians In the eastern portion Of Ne
vada, but also on the line Of the North
ern Pacific, which would Q to re-
quire immediate and decisive action.

a method Of preserving green fodder,
such as turnip-tops, bcct-tops, or other sue
culent vegetables, has been in use for many
years in Europe, by which this green fod-
der is kept in good condition for six or
twelve months A trench two to four feet
deep is dug in dry spot in the field, and the
tops Of the roots, carefully gathered when
free from rain or dew, arc thrown into it,
They are very compactly pressed down,
and when the pit is filed some straw is
laid upon the fodder and the earth is heaped
over the whole. In this manner this pro-
duct which is generally wasted in a great
measure, is utilized. On one occasion the
writer saw one Of these pits opened in the
spring which had been covered up the fall
previous. The fodder, which was leaves oil
sugar bcets, was as fresh to all appearances
as when gathered, and the cows to which il
was fed ate it with ayidity. Salt is gener-
ally sprinklcd upon the fodder and aids in
its preservation.
It would be worth while, when our root
crops are being gathered to preserve the
tops in this way as an experiment. 1t i.

Farmers CatcchizCd.

The following questions are sent out for
discussion from the Connecticut State Board
Of Agriculture, and farmers are requested
to answer, with fall details, as early as con-
ycnicnt.
QUESTIONS on MANUREs.
What is your method Of preparing and
applying stable or yard mauure2
Do you apply it fresh or fermoutod2
DO you increase The quantity by compos.
ting, and with what materials?
To what crops do you apply manure,
season and quantity?
DO you practice ploughing in crops for
green manuringY If so what plants do you
employ, aud with what success
DO you apply manure on surface, or
plowed or narrowed in ?
Doyou use night soil and in what manner
Do you use muck in compost or sepa-
ratcly, aud with what results
you employ salt lime, ashes, gypsum
or other commercial fertilizer, give the
amount, crops to which applied, cost and
results When fish, either raw or manu-
featured, or sea.weed is used, give practice
and results.
Give the relative value Of the different
manurcs Of the farm, and Of commercial
fertilizers according to your experience, stat
ing the character in each case.
Details of any practice that tends to in
crease the fertility Of the soil, by manures
or amendments, are solicited from every
farmer 100 the State.

Stay East.


Evidence constantly accumulates that
Western farmers find hard times such as
our Eastern agricuturists are not obliged
to endure The fact is their grain business
is ovordone The market is glutted by
anything like a decent crop, and those
farmers whose dependence is on a staple
like wheat or corn always find plenteous
haryests their worst enemies, In New
England the farmer has home market for
many products which he cannot even supply
much less glut. lie has remunerative
labor always at command. His capital
costs less by way of interest, and if he be
poor he can more readily find assistance.
The West is no place for the very poor
man. We have just read Missouri letter
stating that corn is worth fifteen cents a
bushel, and it takes n whole bushe to buy a
pound Of sugar, two to pay for pound of
coffee, eight to buy calico dress, thirty to
buy pair Of good boots, and so on. With
such comparative prices, a fertile soil and
broad acres easily titled are poor recon.
pcnso for drawbacks. We tried to show
the other day that in New England the
place for the poor laborer is in the country.
We are equally convined that the West is
no place for the poor farmer.

The leaves Of the trees come twiring

Deep Setting.

Deep setting versus shallow setting Of
milk is n avorite matter for discussion or
experiment with agricultural writer's aud
darymen. A Vermont farmer gives his
experience. Three trials were made with
milk set in paus and pals alternate days
for a week, then churning the cream sepa-
rately. In the first trial it took twenty
seven pounds Of milk set in pals for a
pound of butter in pans twenty-five pounds.
In the second trial, pound Of butter was
made from twenty-five pounds aud thirteen
ounces in pals, and twenty-four pounds and
ten ounces in pans. The third test resulted
in a pound Of butter from twenty-seven
pounds and thirteen ounces set inpails and
from twenty-five pounds and two ounces il
pans. The milk was skinned as soon as il
began to change, which was in about forty
eight hours with the pals and thirty-six
with the pans, and the milk was from seven
to twelve inches deep in the pals and two
and half in the pans. The result in thi,
case is in favor of the shallow pans, but
others who have tried the experiment find
the advantage on the other side The mat
ter is still open to controversy. Col. War
ing of Ogden Farm considers it settled, how
ever, in favor Of deep cans.

Clean Straining.

A correspondent Of the N. II. Mirror
and Farmer calls attention to the strain.
ing Of milk as it is generally practised, and
to more excellent way which he advises.
Straining the milk simply through the
strainer on the pail is not a clearly custom
partly because the wire strainer does not
stop the smaller impurities, and partly be.
cause many will fall into the spout or nose
Of the pail in front Of the strainer. Put
a coarse linen or cotton cloth over the
straner, and you have the remedy, and the
account will be found 10 untainted milk and
sweet butter
