AccIDENTMr. A Beels who lives two
miles south of this city, met with an acct
dent on Wednesday which, but for the
mcrest chance, might have proved fatal.
1t appears that Mr.. Beels was loading
sheaves on to wagon when the front
part of the load gave way, and the horses
became frightened and ran. Mr.. Beels
started for their heads with the fork In
his hand, and in some way he fell on the
tines, one of which entered his sbdOmen,
passing nearly through his body. Strange
to say he is comfortable, and his recovery
is looked for.

JACKSON, Mich, Aug. I'd, 1874.
Ed. BULLETIN:-Herc are few facts
relating to the conditions and causes of
crime, that may be of interest to some of
your readers. especially those engaged
in the reform movement in Buchanan
county. Two hundred and eighty seven
cases have been selected in the Michigan
State Prison:
Occupations: Farmers, 48; laborcrs,
"A |; sixty-one other occupations, 1865.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1874-08-07

These cases are not "sorted," but are
taken Just rs they are entered on the rec
ords of this prison, and indicate, it seems
to me, that it is not occupation, education,
cOnjugal relations, or even intemperance,
which causes crime, or affords the condi-
tons under which crime is, committed,
and if We intend to labor for the .ref0rma-
ton of wrong doors, or to prevent crime,
az it certainly becomes true citizens, to
do, ought we not to examine with great
care and patient industry, into the causes
of that we would prevent, and thus be
able to strike at the root Of the evil, in
stead of looping off here twig and there
q branch, succeeding only In affording
the noxious tr6e needed pruning!
Instead Of aiming our blows ut the
:careworn, anxious, business fretted mid
die man, the half crazy, sorely tried and
half paid pedagogue, or the miserable,
Shiny, despicable fumseller. would 1t not
be well to turn attention to the moral rot
tcnncss, 80 prevalent all about US! To
try and cultivate proper respect for au-
thority, respect for the rights of Others,
for law, both Of God and man, to the end
that violation of law may b regarded ~
it should be with loathing by the entire
community.

we can easily raise crop of this plant

In year. Our cotton climate has Pc
culiar advantages for the cheap pro-
duetion of wool and mutton; and we
may, if we will, breed the most prolific
sheep and multiply their numbers into
tens of millions. Who will join the
agricultural editor of the UNION AND
AMERICAN in organizing wool-grow-
ing company? Amy one having tract
of land adapted to sheep-husbandry
may, if he pleases, correspond with the
writer on the subject. We aim to test
the money value of grass and sheep in
Tennessee.

MILK AND POTATOES.

Prof. Jas. F. W. Johnston says:
Every forty gallons of milk carried off
the farm contains one pound of bone
earth" Estimating the average yield
of a good COW at $50 gallons a year,
this milk will contain IS pounds of
earthly phosphates, or as much as is
present in 80 pounds of bone dust, and
the urine contains about IL pounds of
the same phosphates. Suppose that
only a third of this runs to waste, there
will be loss equal to about six pounds
of bone dust. But by Mr.. Quincy's ar
rangement the urine is saved by being
absorbed by the peat muck. According
TO Prof. Johnston's statements it viii
be seen that there are annually carried
off In the milk from Mr.. Quincy's 100
COWS, phosphates equivalent to 5000
pounds of bone dust. But if the cream
of the 100 cows milk was made into
butter, and the buttermilk and skim
milk were fed to swine, and they were
supplied with muck or good loan SUI
fcient to absorb the urine, all loss from
the phosphates of 100 COWS would be
what was contained IN the bones of the
hogs.
Butter-makers in New York increase
the yieldo grasswithout purchasing any
bone earth, as none leaves the farm IN
butter. But Mr.. Quincy sells milk in
Boston, and requires 5000 pounds of
bone dust to compensate for that sold
In milk in twelve months.
DR.. Jas. r. Nichols tells us in one of
his lectures, that field of potatoes
yielding 800 bushels to the acre re-
moves from the soil, IN tubers and tops,
at least 400 pounds of potash; also that
it will remove $50 pounds of phospho-
ric acid. a potato field which gives
but 100 bushels to the acre, requires at
least l40 pounds of potash; but allow
ing the tops to decay upon the field, 90
pounds are restored to the soil again,
as that amount is contained in them"
Every farmer should know that it
always takes something to make some
thing; and that one clement cannot be
changed into another

EFFECTS OF COMBINING POULTRY.
Mr.. Chas. Selser gives a statement
to the Bucks County pa Intelligencer,
summing up the yield from his hens
for the month of March: with siz
head In a coop, the average was Is eggs
to hen; with flee head in a coop, the
average was 19 to the hen; with three
head in coop, the average was "a eggs
to the hen. His first pen allowed 81
square feet to each fowl; the second 10
2-5 square feet, and the third, 17s. 1t
will be seen that the egg production
increased regularly as the room"
A. NJ. D. gives the IntelIige'acer his
report of the yield from White Leg
horns for the same time, and they, with
about the same room, afforded to those
in Mr.. Selser's pen No. 8. averaged a
fraction over % eggs to the hen; but
he would not encourage any one having
little knowledge of the management Of
poultry to coop them up so closely.

PROFITABLE FARMING.
From the Country Gentleman.

l have been very much interested in
the article of Ontario page 212) and
his very practical answer to the ques-
ton: How much does farming pay?"
With your permission, l Will give you
a little of my experience. commenced
farming for myself three years ago
this spring, with a cash capt.
tai of about $50, without team and
farming utensils. My farm consists of
thirty-two acres of light, sandy soil,
and eight acres of marsh, all cleared.
The upland was nearly bare, having
been cropped year after year, and
nothing returned to the soil. 1 now
have my marsh drained, so that it is
good pillow land; sixteen acres of clover,
as good as any one would wish
to see; thirteen acres of very good
wheat; a good horse team, wagon, har-
ness, two COWS, two yearlings, two hogs,
twenty-seven light Bradmas, that we
think are hard to beat, and farming i'm
plements sufficient to carry on my farm.
l have supported my family of three
persons comfortably, and have money
sufficient for current expenses-all of
which 1 have accomplished by hard
work, thorough tillage, good manage
ment, and strict adherence to that best
of notices: keep out of debt, and
pay as you CO." l have receivedmuch
benefit from the experience of good
practical farmers through our valuable
paper, and think the Country Gentleman
better suited to the wants of Michigan
farmers than many of our western ag-
ricultural papers. F. L. RooDE

SHEEP-BREEDING AND WOOL.
GROWING

We regard it as discreditable to our
industry and intelligence that our OBJ
Eious advantages for raising sheep, and
producing wool and mutton as great
staples, are so generally overlooked
and disregarded. Tennessee and Ala
bama mot to name other States, have
millions of acres of land that Will sup
port several species of perennial grass
of which, Bermuda, mesquite and
sheep-fescue may be named as types,
on which sheep can feed and fatten the
year round. At present, this proper
grazing land pays nothing to its
owners. and nothing to the public as a
county, State or nation. The local
government over it is very consider
able tax on the labor of the people
with no benefit to any interest what
ever. Within thirty miles of Nash
Vile may be found one hundred
miles of pike with toll gates, through
uncultivated and unproductive land
that does not pay taxes by its fruits.
1t is impossible to support decent roads,
bridges, churches and schools on the
income Of a wholly neglected soil. Nor
can merchants, manufactures, profess
sional men, railways and banks, live
and prosper on bushes, sedge and this
ties. Wild, unimproved land natural
ly supports rather poor, wild and un-
progressive population. In England,
the "Woolsack" has long been the seat
of honor the sturdy barons knowing
well the Importance of protecting their
wool-growing interest. A late num-
Der of the Hereford (Eagland) Times
makes the following interesting state
ment:
Within the last Is months, As ewes
belonging to Mr.. Thomas Taylor of
Aston ROwant, Oxon, had produced
295 lambs all of which are still living,
or had been sold fat. Forty-four of the
ewes have had three pairs, and most of
them In less than IA months Ia few in
only Is months and 2 weeks. Two
ewes brought Z lambs each, VIZ, two
few days before Christmas, 1872, two
In June, 1873, and three IN January,
1874. One eve produced eight lambs
within IA months. One Chalf bred has
given birth to nine lambs in l5months,
