LITTLE At FIRST, MIGHTY AT LAST.


A traveller DER dusty road,
Strewed acorns on the lee;
And one took root and sprouted up
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shade at eventide,
To breathe its early VOWS,
And age was pleased at heat Of noon
To rest beneath its boughs.
Tho dormouse loved its dangling twige,
The birds sweet music pour;
1t stood glory in its place
A blessing evermore.
Al little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern,
A passing stranger scoopeda well,
Whereiweary men might turn
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again. and 10! the well
By summer never dried, 80,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues
And saved life beside.
dreamer dreamed random thought,
Twas old, and yet twas new,

But strong in being, true, .-..,- ..
1t fell upon genial mind, .--. ,.,...
And 10! the thought become e.. H4a "a

A stately guiding fame.
The thought was small, it's issue great;

INFLUENCE OF FooD UPON PoULrB

INFLUENCE OF FooD UpoN PoULrRY
AND EGGs.-There is no better fatten
ing material for poultry than corn meal,
especially if mixed with milk and we
notice that it has come to be used
Ian gely in the poultry yards Of France.
When insects are not procurable, ami
NAL food in some form is desirable, and
here again we see that although poultry
devours the flesh of the dead horses
which have been saysd in France, it
has been found to imparta disagreeable
taste to the fowls so fed. Fowls, like
hogs, are supposed to be universal scav-
engers; but, as with hogs, neither deli
cate nor healthy flesh can be made
from them if fed upon garbage. Great
care should be exercised in the matter,
for the influence Of food upon the quail
ty, not only ofthe meat, but OF. the eggs
has, III too many cases, not been duly
appreciated-Marylsnd Farmer

CHEAP THINGS.

One Of the worst mistakes which can
be made is to purchase an article be.
cause it is cheap. Very many persons
are in need ofs first class Seacing Ma
chine, yet do not feel quite ready to pay
the full price at once, and are sometimes
led into purchasing an inferior machine,
at less cost, because machine of some
kind is really needed in every family.
And then again, some say, 81 will get
me a cheap machine nov; it will per-
haps do my work at present, and | will
learn to run 3 machine, and sometime l
will get better 10 all, both high and
low, we would say:-when you select
sewing machine you should be as par
ticular as you need to be in selecting a
family horse. See that it has .geputo
zion unexceptional; see that it is made
for endurance; see that it is sound; see
that it is always ready to go; see that it
has no bad trick; see that it can do all
kinds of work; see that it is in good
health, so that it will not need constant
doctoring; see that you get one you can
depend upon, to do all the work, and do
it just when you need it done; and
above all don't buy a balky horse nor
balky machine. A poor sewing
machine is worse that none and con.
slant source of trouble, Many of what
are called, selling points in a machine
are simply frivolous, and intended to
tickle the fancy ofthose who are sold.
1t is no great recommendation in
horse for family use, that it walks on
three legs, and so useless tricks in
Sewing Machine should be avoided.
Substantial excellencies only can stand
the test of time and use The Howe
Machine has stood the test, and to-day
four hundred thousand are in use
throughout the civilized world Mr. A
J. Wheeler, at Miss Jane Myers's Mill
merry Store, Woodstock, offers this ma
chine on such easy terms that persons
of moderate income can obtain one by
paying small monthly installments, and
thus in time become possessed of a ma
chine that is not cheap in anysense of
the word, but one that will earn its cost
many times over, and he a constant
source of relief and comfort.
To DETECT SPURIOUS GREENBAcKs.
To discover spurious greenhacks or ma
t'onal bank notes, divide the last two
figures OF the number Of the bill by four,
and if one remains, the letter of the
genuine will be A; if two remain, it
will be B; if three, G; and should there
be noremainder the letterwill bed. For
example, a note is registered 2,46l );
divide sixtyone bysfour and You will
have one remaining. According to the
rule, the letter On the note will be A. !
In case the rule fails, be certain that
the noteis counterfeit.

The Lieutenant Governorship.

"The Sparta Herald says: We
notice, with pleasure, an article in
the GAINESVILLE Gazette, commenda.
tory of the Hon. A. NJ. Thomas, edi-
tor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, and
twice popular Speaker of the Wis
consin Legislature, and recommend
ing him to the Republicans of the
state as suitable candidate for the
Office Of Lieutenant Governor at the
coming State Convention. We
most cheerfully endorse the above
named gentleman as being worthy
and eminently well qualified for the
responsible position for which he
has been named, for we cannot but
bel ieve that he would be strong
and popular candidate Oh the state
ticket, and his long, faithful and un-
wearied services in the Republican
ranks fully thus merit further honor
at their hands.

The Fruit Crops of 1873.

Information received by the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton, fully confirms the general ap-
prehension of very light fruit crop
throughout the country. In the
northern section Of the country the
intense cold of last winter, and in
the southern late severe frosts and
freezes in the spring, did immense
injury to the fruit trees and grape
vines.
Vast numbers of peach-trees and
many apple trees were killed out
right, and very many more were
seriously injured. The injury to
apple>trees was more serious and
extensive than was at first apparent
Many trees that leaved out and
blossomed profUsely have since died;
and where apples appeared to be
we'll set the complaint is general
that they wither and drop off. In
sects are doing more or less injury
to the portions of the crop which
are otherwise ia fair condition. In
Kansas an "apple-t tree blight" pre-
walls somewhat extensively, 1t is
described as closely resembling the
"pear-tree blight"
Apples and peaches seem to have
suffered the most. Apples are be-
low average in condition in every
state except Oregon, where they are
slightly above. The crop will be
from one third to three fourths OF
an average throughout the country.
Peaches are below average in con-
dition in all the states producing
them. The yield will be from one
fourth to one half an average. In
Delaware, Rhode Island and Oregon,
however, it will nearly reach an
average. In Illinois and Michigan
the yield is about two ffths of an
average.
Pears promise relatively better
than apples or peaches. In Nebras>
ka, Delaware and West Virginia the
prospect is good for an average
yield of grapes. In the other States
it will probably be from three fifths
to nine tenths of an average.
A few favored localities in every
section Of the country report an
average yield of fruit in general, but
in the East, in the States long cele-
brated for the abundance of fruit
produced, as we'll as in the West, in
the states where it was long believ-
ed that fruit could not DO success
fully cultivated, there have been at
work the same devastating infu-
ences.

Pro Rata in Pennsylvania.

The u. S. Supreme Court has re.
Gently rendered an important decis'
ion in the case of the Reading Rail-
road against the State Of PeHnsylva'
MIA. Suit was brought by that Com
pany to test the constitutionality OF
the pro rata law as applied to inter-
State commerce. The features OF
the law are similar to those of the
Illinois pro rata law now in force
The following points are made in
tho decision which covers all the
phases of commerce within the State;
FIRsT-The transportation Of freights, OF
OF the subject Of commerce, is a constitutions
al part of commerce itself.
SEcoNp-A tax upon freight, transported
from State TO State, is regulation of COM
inerce among the States.
THRp-Wheneyer the subject, in regard
TO which power 10 regulate com merce is
asserted, are in their nature national, OF ad-
init of one uniform system or plan Of regula-
ton, they are exclusively within the regulat-
ing control Of Congress.
FoURrH-Transportation Of passengers or
merchandise through State, or from one
state to another, is OF this nature.
FIFTH-Hence a statute Of State impos-
ing tax upon freight, taken up within the
State aud carried out Of il, or taken up with
out State aud brought within it, is repug-
nant TO that provision of the Constitution of
the United States which ordains that "Con-
gress shall have power TO regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among the several
States, and with the Indian tribes"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1873-08-14

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Su-
preme Court of the United Sta ties
has decided, in case entitled. Rea d..
ing Railroad Company as. The State
of Pennsylvania, that statue lmpos.
ing taxation upon gross receipts OF
railroads is not unconstitutional.
The court held: /. That statue OF
State imposing q tax upon the
gross receipts of railroad companies
is not iepugnant to the Constitution
of the United States, though the
gross receipts are made up in part
from freights received for transport
tation of merchandise from the state
to another State, or into the State
from another: 2. Such tax is not
a regulation of interstate commerce.
3. Nor is it tax on imports or ex-
ports. 4. Nor is it tax upon inter-
State transpoi tation. 5. A distinc-
ton must be made between a tax
upon freight carriers between States,
because of their carriage, and tax
upon the fruits ofsuch transportation
after they have become intermingled
with the other property of the car.

Crops and Prices.

A recent number of the New York
Produce Exchange in q review of the
grain trade says;
The spring wheat crop in Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin now being
harvested, is expected to be above
an average yield. The winter wheat
crop of Michigan is estimated to be
about one-third short of an average.
The wheat crop of California and
Oregon will in the aggregate it is
believed, give larger surplus for
export than that from the crop of
1872. The aggregate wheat product
of the United States. including win
ter and spring wheat, is expected to
be a full average.
The wants OF the United Kingdom
from foreign countrys will be large
for the ensuing crop year, but not
so large as they have been for the
crop year of 1872-73. The brilliant
weather in the British isles gives
pretty good assurance of about an
average wheat crop. If these expec-
tations shall be realized, there will
be required "a, 000, 900 bus of foreign
wheat 10 meet the bread wants OF
1894 of the 80 100000 of people
in the United Kingdom. This will
have good export demand for our
surplus, but at lower average price
| than in 1872 '73
The indications at latest reports
are that the wants of France will re-
quire equal imports and exports OF
wheat. or that her wheat crop will
only provide for her own wants.
The future of prices will be de-
termined by the weather through
harvest. Lower prices will probably
prevail with favorable weather for
the crop, and higher prices should
there be unfavorable weather; but as
unfavorable weather is the exception
and favorable weather the rule, the
chances are more in favor of lower
than higher prices"
