THERE is a vast difference in the flavor of eggs.
Hens fed on clean, sound grain, and kept on a
clean grass run, give much finer favored eggs
than hens do that have access TO a stable and
manure heaps and eat all kinds of filthy food.
Hens feeding on fish and onions flavor their eggs
accordingly the same as cows eating eonions or
cabbage or drinking offensive water, impart a
bad taste to milk and butter.

8. NJ. Smith, market gardener of
Green Bay, furnishes some interesting
statements of his experiments in high cul
ture. He has found the rule inyariable,
not single exception to it, that the MOI e
be has spent III culti9atns manu-ing, the
greater have been the net profits per acre.
Last season he cultivated fourteen acres,
and began with more thorough and ex-
pensIve cultivation. than ever before. The
result was, that although there was a
terrible drough," one % the dryest sea-
sons ever known in that region, after
spending 1896, or 1884 per acre, he had
better balance than at any previous
year.
He appears to regard constant cultiva-
ton, especially through drouth In connec
ton with copious manu'ing, as all impor-
tant. Stable manure is the standard /:
with such use of superphosr hates, plaster,
lime, ashes and other manures as exper-
fence and good sense point out. after
you have learned how 20 spend money to
the best advantage" he remarks, ga larger
profit uray be made By laying out $500 per
acre than with less. After the second
year, fynur land does not pay all ito ex
pensss, taxes, and ten per cent. of $1C0U
per acre, there is something wrong some
where. l have SOME acres of land that
did not Fay expenses for two years, bnt for

He adds that he is now aiming at 1000
bushels of oniens per acre, then a crop oil

potatoes; or il Strawberries, IL, 800 quarts,
or 4OO bushels per acre. This amount oil

TIE trial of Henry Ward Beeoher which
I. now in progress, is not only of absorbing
Interest to the members OF Plymouth Church
0nd 70 the citizens of Brooklyn, but to the
whole country, and is likely TO become the
most noted judicial contest of the century.
Indeed, If the deep anxiety with which
thousands-yes hundreds of thousands of
people are awaiting its results and the num-
Der Of eminent jurists engaged in carrying
il forward are to be considered, we shall
search in vain the judicial records of the
world to find its equal. The trial of War
rem Hastings in England and that of Aaron
Burr in this country have a prominence In
history which is accorded to bat few if any
of the sgal proceedings Of the past, yet
who can doubt that the future historian will
rot count this trial Of Henry Ward
Beacher Of far more importance Than either.
The offence charged against Hastings and
Burr were of political stature and in de
eroe pardonable, but that Of which Beech
er is accused is one which serisusly effects
society and civilization, for it is against the
sanctity of the marriage relations; yet, our
faith in Reecher's innocence has always
been firm, and we hope for the sake of mo-
rality, society and Christianity that the jury

1t is true bill that Kansas is being
seriously injured BY the dead beati.m Of
vasrant rascals IN other states, ostensi bly
actng In her name, and the senationalism
aud exaggeration Of perhaps, well meaning
persons who seem to take delight in ma
nify'ng our distress. They are bad enough
to be sure, but they can be borne and
remedied SO as to inure to tbs disgrace of our
people and the ser~us injury of our state.
We hear frequently of numerous indiyid-
uals who by making small sacrifices. can
can keep themselves in comfort, claiming
the charity intended for tie absolutely des-
titute and helpless, a, right. This per
haps, is uDayo,dsble, and is incident 10
our poor human nature. But there other
more hagrant outgrowths of this calamity
that are less excasable We refer to a
class which, by dint of loudly clanoring
for help for the destitute, and exagyeratiny
the extent and urgency of the relief de-
manded IN their respective localities, hop
ing to get band in the business of re-
ceiving and distributing relief goods for
their private enrichment We have not
yet heard of case of death BY starvation,
and, as goods for the relief of the destitute
come pouring in, that dread possibility be
csmes more remote, and will We believe
be avoided altogether.
