an aged citizen of Stetson, in this coun.
ty, on going out in the door ward saw
her husband lying on the ground with
the top of his skull split of. while over
HIM was standing his son, James P. Da-
Wis, holding bloody axe, with which
the murder was done. The young man
has been considered OF unsound mind
Tor some time, and was for while con-
hned IN the State Insane Hospital. but
was recently discharged as cured He
expresses no contrition for the deed and
offered no violence to his mother but at
her bidding quietly put away the axe
and remained about the bonsa until
some Of the neighbors came and took
him into custody.
When asked why he committed the
crime. he replied, Washington ordered
me to do it.
lhe nelghbors say that the murdered
man had expressed fears of violence from
his son, and daughter says her brother
had threatened to take her life. aud
had once driven her out of the house
with the same axe he used in committing
the murder.

This State is now attracting consid-
cradle attention as one of the best fields
for settlement in the Union. In climate
and soil it meets the conditions required
for the successful cultivation of all the
productions of the temperate zone, and
also some of the sub-tropical.
1t is not often that corn and wheat
thrive equally well in any country but
as it is in Nebraska, corn is the first
staple crop, of course but as soon as
the farmer is well settled upon the
land, he puts in wheat. The wheat of
Nebraska is in good favor and in st.
Louis and Chicago markets its price
averages several cents per bushel more.
than the wheat of the neighboring
States can command. In bread-making
qualities the wheat of Nebraska only
ranks second to that of California,
with which it does not come into COM
petition.
The agricultural triumphs which have
been achieved in Nebraska are the work
of little more than ten years, and, as
the country is settled, and the position
of the farmer becomes easier, wheat
ranks higher among the crops of the
country. In 1860, when the population
was $4,000, the wheat crop amounted to
l47, S67 bushels, or about 81 bushels
per head and, in 1870, when the popu-
lation was 10, 600, the wheat crop was
2, 125, 0S6 bushels, or a little under III
bushels per head.
The population of 1873 can only be
estimated, and therefore it is best not
given but the wheat crop of that year
IAN unfavorable agricultural year,
amounted to 100000 bushels. The
record is therefore still one of advance
ment for the young State; and it is to
be remembered that stock-raising, fruit
culture. corn growing, and all other
agricultural work advances equally with
wheat-raising. Nebraska is therefore a
promising State for the settler; and
the more especially since it has good
markets both east and west and south.

Which Breed of Poultry Eats Most (!

On Sept. 1, an Ohio poultry keeper
took ten pullets of each of the breeds
mentioned below, about six months old,
gave them yard forty feet square, with
comfortable house, and kept exact ac-
count of eggs and feed, as follows:
The Dark Brahmas ate 800 quarts of
corn, oats and wheat screening, laid COS
eggs, and weighed 10 pounds. The
Buff Cochins ate 406 quarts, laid 591
eggs, and weighed 10 pounds The
Gray Dorkings ate 309l quarts, laid 524
eggs, and weighed 593 pounds. The
Houdans ate 214l quarts, laid 763 eggs,
and weighed As pounds. The Leghorns
ate 321 1-5 quarts, laid S07 eggs, and
weighed 36l pounds.
To make this experiment more COM
plete, and to show which lot gave the
most profit, including both eggs and
flesh, We have supposed the fowls to be
dressed and sold at the end of six months
at 20 cents per pound also that the eggs
are worth "a cents per dozen two cents
each), and that the cost of the feed was
p cents per quart, or 80 cents per
bushel. The figures would then be:

The Cremation Propaganda.

A German correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette writes "The cause of
cremation is making further progress.
The furnace intended for the expert
mental burning of the dead, now
building in Dresden, is to be completed
In few weeks. Meanwhile Cremation
SCciety has formed at Vienna, under the
appropriate title of The Urn,' and has
obtained the Governments consent for
instituting similar experiments. The
furnace to be built in Vienna will be
after the design of Prof. Reclaim, of
Leipzig. The Urn has a goodly roll
of members to show already, and every
day is said to witness additions. In
Zurich, Swiss papers affirm, cremation
is more spoken of and excites greater
attention and zeal than even the pro-
posed revision of the Federal Constitu-
ton, on which a vote is about to be
taken shortly"
