Let Justice BE D0ne Though tho Heaven
Should Fail.
NEW YORK. March 10, 1879


TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The stand taken by your paper In regard to the
murderers now In the Tombs deserve credit from
the law-abiding citizens OF New York. The appeal
to the Governor was made upon the ground that
Foster did not expect to kill Putnam. He made
the remark that he would ak him." and he did hx
him. We must believe the man himself. II I
should be on city car and should be insulted and
being large, powerful man and my opponent q
small one-as In the instance of Foster and Put
nam-if only wanted to chastise him would hit
him with my fist; il did not care whether killed
him or not would take some iron instrument-as
did Fosterand let the victim take the risk OF its
killing him. This kind Of thing will not do In city
like ours agree with the HERALD that this muir
dering business must be stopped, and without
hanging 1t cannot. Twelve men sitting throughout
the trial and pron0unctng man guilty or murder,
after hearing all the evidence, would not have
their verdict set aside by one man, although he
is the Governor OF New York. Take the case OF
Jack Reynolds. don't think he intended to take
lie any more than Foster. Let the public know 1t
is dangerous to try to come near killing man and
not intend it. Foster had intelligence and educa-
tlon-Jack Reynolds had neither, and don't think
when he was hung he knew what was being done
with him. if he did he certainly did not look So for
l saw him when the cap was drawn over his face.
He then wore a smile on his face. He had no
money, friends or ministers to write for him. 80 he
had to swing. Let justice be no respecter OF per-
sons. Rich or poor, II they deserve hanging, let
them hang J. B. K.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
1t Is time that the voices OF the HERALD and the
masses were heard, that men may know and fear
the law and 1t be no more dishonored. Born OF
mature elaboration and educated by the ex-
perience of ages, our law speaks the resolute will
OF q thoughtful and humane people; it is God In
humanity asserting its right to rule all baser ele-
ments. Be the people stanch and true to their
wisdom; the oracle speaks but to be obeyed. New
York just aifOrds the pitable spectacle OF men
rushing hither and thither like hungry chickens,
guided by an impulse as devoid of Judgment
and true kindness to their fellows. The men
who call to-day for justice and obedience
to law which their own and the
judgment OF the past have proved necessary for
the well-being OF the community, have as much
pity for the poor wretch who lies under cOndem-
nation as those who seek to break the law in his
behalf, more than those who use "unholy means"
The difference Is, their Judgment. made OF sterner
stu melts not upon SuCa affairs, but rather CLEANS
with Indignation that the lives OF men known and
respected should be at the mercy OF ruilians who
own vile habits to excuse their deeds OF murder. I
am inclined to think that death would be more
merciful for Foster than the years OF unexpected
misery, OF hope deferred through which his ''aids''
are dragging him.
What value is there In plea for mercy on the
ground that Putnam neglected his wife7 What
wonder II 1t were so with him and Is so now with
others when the spirit OF some women leads them
to reap harvest from q husbands blood or wriJa
the atroclous nonsense OF Neglected Wife,"

Letter from a "Grateful Heart"

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
There are many grateful hearts in our neighbor-
hood and many jubilant voices tuned to praises Of
the HERALD for its manly, noble course in the Fos-
ter case. We were fast giving up all hope OF JUS
tce; the criminals friends only were active, when
your paper came out so firmly on the side of truth
and the law. Our thanks are also due to Mr.. Wal
ter Bartlett, the intelligent juror. who made
strong point in his able letter in last weeks HER
AID, saying Foster was not too drunk to remember
where the car hook belonged, and ran after the car
and threw the bloody instrument on the platform
after his murderous work was completed. l am
glad to see there are able men espOusing the cause
OF right and justice in opposition to the namby-
PANTY beings who are willing to let such roughs as
Foster loose upon the community to murder some
other unOifending citizen. l know Governor DIX

MEssRs, EDIroRs:-In my article, few
weeks ago, upon the importance Of Farmers
Clubs, and the benefits resulting therefrom. ]
said that Farmers almost universally complain.
ed OF the expenses attending the cultivation Of
the soil, small crops, &c, but seldom il ever
inquired the causes. In this propose to give
some Of my ideas upon the subject: First,
will say that farmers by their present manage.
ment make the expense of raising eight bar.
rels of corn almost what il should be to raise
sixteen. The expenses attending the cultiva.
ton of an acre ofpoor land are just as much
as they are attending an acre of rich land.
If it costs five dollars to cultivate an acre Of
ground and il produces but halfwhat il should,
then the expenses are just double what they
ought to be. The fact is that farming does
not pay because we cultivate h large amount
Of land to produce small amount of grain.
If farmers would but farm half the number Of
acres, and till them as they should BIO, the net
profit would se double what they are.

Stock Breeding.


In the wide field of agriculture no branch
is so important, none so interesting, none
50 profitable, as stock breeding. 1t is, in
deed, the highest branch offarming. That
upon which all others more or less depend
Ito which all other branches more or less
contribute. The English people, who are
unquestionably the best farmers in the
world and have always been farming peo-
pie par ereeience, have erystalized the
truth in three lines;
mo cattle no manure,
No manure no grass,
No grass no CATTLE
This is the true doctrine-the trinity of
good farming the world over. Within the
compass Of these three lines is expressed
the whole philosophy of mixed husbandry
Ia philosophy founded on facts and forti-
fed by science. Let us look at the matter
little more in detail 1t is an indisputa-
bic fact that all crops taken from the ground,
remove more or less plant food from the
soil, and that in time the most fertile soil
in the world viii become exhausted BY con-
tinued cropping without manuring. This
being true, it is manifest that manuring is
absolutely necessary to the preservation of
the fertility Of any and every farm. The
question then with every farmer should be,
How can | best keep my land in heart F?
How most easily restore the plant food Ia
ken by each crop? For by far the great
majority Of farmers, the answer to these
questions is BY keeping cattle to make
manure. Farmers living near cities may
purchase manure enough to do them, and
can in that case, devote all their land, la
Dor and capital to growing crops that will
sell But for farmers at large, manure that
is bought does not pay, if it alone is used
Homemade manure is the best as well as
the cheapest and for homemade manure
the farmer must depend upon his own cat
tie.
Again, il is with farm products as with
other things. the manufactured article is al
ways worth more than the raw material.
Corn, oats, hay, &C., are the raw materials
Of the farm, while horses, mules, cattle,
sheep and hogs are the manufactured ar
ticles. IL is much more profitable then
for the farmer to make his corn and hog
into meat than to sell it raw,
Again, the farmer who grows stock may
always have something 70 sell, while he
who only raises corn or any other crop
to sell, Is in the market bat once year.
And finally, no branch Of farming re-
quires 50 little heavy work !; while none Of |
fsn 50 inviting field for the intelligent
labor Of the educated farmer. Hence it is
that we place stock breeding at the head Of
the art Of farming, as the most important,
the most pleasant and the most profitable.

He must leave his former manners

And forget their very names;

Sports for girls and pussies weak :
Baste-the-bear he may now play at,
Leap-frog, football, sport away at;
Show his skin and strength 1t cricket;

Run about in winters snow
Till his cheeks and fingers glow
Climb a tree or scale wall
Without any fear to fall

To complain he must refuse,
Though the anguish and the smart
Go unto his little heart
He must have his courage ready,
Keep his voice and visage steady;
Brace his eyeballs stiff as drum,

From the color in his cheek.

The Money Value of Intelligence.


The Money Value of Intelligence.
Every thoughtful man recognizes the
money value of intelligence in a commu-
nifty. II is for this, in part, that the state
builds school-houses and furnishes free ed
ucation to the masses. knowledge is
power, even the ignorant respect it, and
pay il many an involuntary compliment.
The power consists in the ability to better
ones condition more rapidly and in doing
that-such are the relations of men to each
other-they usually benefit all around them
The improvements on piece ofreal estate
do not affect the owner alone, but indirect
y extend to the neighborhood, and next
find their way to the assessors books and
thus benefit the nation. 1t is like the rip
pie which the pebble starts when thrown
into the water--it spreads wider and wi
der, and though after awhile the visible ef.
feet disappears, we know that it does affect
the whole body, no matter how large So
when something is added to the worlds
wealth, it benefits the whole world, al
though we may not be able to trace its
full effects.
When an enterprising man buys a run
down, neglected farm, with rickety and d.
lapidated buildings, and at once proceeds
70 improve it, clears up. the unsightIy fence
corners, drains the wet land, pulls out
stumps or rocks, moves the barn to the
back of the house, and sets the new house
little distance back Of the highway, lays
out a lawn, with pleasant walks and shade
trees and hedges, brings blooded stock with
him, and causes his acres to produce three
fold more than ever before, what man so
stupid as not to recognize that that is pc
cuniary gain to the neighborhood? No
matter how selfish the owner may be at
heart, if he makes his farm more valuable.
he does the same, to some extent, to all a
round him. The neighbors like to see a
handsome farm near them, even If they
never think Of selling, and when they do
try to sell, the prospective buyer will in
variably have his attention called to the
handsome property over the way, or which
adjoins, or at least it is not far of. Spec
nlators holding unimproved lands, like
nothing 50 well as to be able to say (be-
cause nothing is more potent that Il lies
in the very best Of neighborhoods, is sur.
rounded by rich farms in the highest state
Of culture, in delightful region Of walks
and drives; that the people are all intelli-
gent, and their tastes refined that schools
and churches abound; and that the value
Of the land has been proved by the extra
ordinary yield Of crops on the adjacent
farms When these things can be said
trathfulIy, sales are comparatively easy,
and that at the highest prices.
Does not every enterprising farmer see
then--as wellas those who are not farmers
that there is money value in intelli-
gence, and that the rapidity of its spread
concernsthem very closely? Improvements
on ones own place are wen, wise and adj
