DISAGREED.

| The jury in the Tilton-B eecher suit
have disagreed. 1t was not expected
that they would find verdict, and the
result announced to-day by telegraph
will create no surprise. A week ago
when the case was submitted, and
Judge Nelson had charge of the jury,
a motion to reopen the case, based up
on the affidavits of the uphosters,
Price and Loeder, was denied by the
Court. The jury were aware that such
affidavits had been made; but, of
course, remained ignorant of what
since transpired in connection with the
matter, and that subsequent investiga-
tons show the allegations to be I'M
founded. Last evening when the jury
were brought into Court and informed
Judge Nelson that they had disageed,
he sent them back with instructions
to disregard the affidavits. What eff
feet, if any, this will have upon the
Jury, remains to be seen. They have
ROW been out eight days. and the re-
suit of their deliberations in that time
has been an agreement to disagree.
They are divided in opinion upon the
grave question they were sworn to de-
termine according to the evidence pre-
scented. Like the great jury of the
people, who have read the evidence in
the suit some believe Beecher inno-
cent; others consider him guilty. 1t
is improbable that the jury will find
verdict, and if they do, after having
once disagreed, it will not satisfy the
public. who will cling to the opinions
formed by q careful consideration of
the evidence, of which the majority are
fully as capable of judging as the
twelve men now locked up in Brook
lyn inry-room, testing each others
firmness on the question of the guilt or
innocence of the Plymouth Pastor.

THE California Democratic State
Convention had not concluded its la
bors at last accounts. The ticket, as
far as nominated, appears in the dis
patches. A platform was adopted
which is brief and to the point, and
has the genuine metallic ring. The
work of the convention gives general
satisfaction to the party, and insures
the election of the ticket nominated.
The Democracy of California is united,
and will roll up such majority at the
ballot-box as will astonish the Repub-
licans, and make the Chico aristocrat
and the place-hunting vacquero wish
they never had been nominated.

HH-
cripti0n of the Bear Lodge mining
district in Wyoming is from the
Chicago Tribune:
BEAR LODGE ITSELF. Y
Seen al a distance, II resembles in
outline an Indian lodge; bur- upon a
nearer approach, it proves to be Il col
umn OF gray pprphyry, that resem-
blss granite in every particular, OK
.ecpting the absence Of mica. ThecOl-
umn Is composed of seventy-siX
smaller columns, that stand close to-
gether, as If quarried and carefully
set upon its miik-white clay pedestal
by a hand as, strong and mighty as
. Jove's. The clay pedestal Is about
1900 feet in the diameter OF its base,
and rises 900 feet above the waters Of
the Belle FOurclle, on the west bank
OF which 1t stands. Its sides slope
with n hand-nnlely-rUupded curve
that corresponds well with the broad
base of the column that rests upon it.
This column OF luck; or rather this
'many-colunlnCd column OF rock, IS
900 feet across its base aad 800 feet
across its top, and rear5 ii head ,l2j
feet above IbU level of the Belle
Fourche River. The topographers
determined the measurement by tri-
angulation, Hs, owing to its smooth
and steep sides, not ven "a mountain
sheep could have climbed it. Imagine
this solitary column standing on the
level plain, 5 miles from any eleva-
ton deserving the name, and it will
be readily understood why the In
dians call il the Bare Lodge" Some
of the Indians, however, say it means
Bear Lodge, on account of the holes
seen in the elay-pedestnl, and the
bear-tracks around its margin. Let
this be as it may, | give such author
ity as / can find, and do not feel dis
posed to question it's appropriateness;
but upon ope point all must agree,
and tbat is the stranEeness and the
beauty of this naturll pillar, that has
stood a solitary watch over this dis
taDt plain for hundreds of centuries,
Drawing o million wintry blasts, and
defying the gnawinE of seas, to be
seen at last and admired by civilized
mankind. ....
The elevation Of Bear Lodge above
the sea is equal tO~the Brown Peak,
the highest elevation in the Bear
Lodge Range, and Is about 1900 feet.
The Great Western Divide, or Back
bone Range, is 1900 feet above the
sea; Harney's Peak is 7,4i0; Terry's
bs $40; Custer's, 6,377; Crow Peak is
$500, and Bear Butte, 1920. Harvey
is composed entirely Of granite, but
all the other peaks are composed of
gray porphyry, feldspar, limestone,
greensboro, and old Potsdam sand
stone, all burnt and changed in their
appearance from what they originally
were. An abundance of quartz has
been found in the vicinity of the
Crow Peaks, but it is not known that
gold exists in that locality; and Mr.
Jenney was unable to explore and
pTospertit, owing, as he says, to want
of time, and the extreme r0ughncss
of the country.

1.-The following very interesting des-
eription of the Bear Lodge mining
district in Wyoming is from the
Chicago Tribune:
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1875-02-12
Corn and Hogs.

From carefully conducted expert
ments by different persons, it has
been ascertaincd that one bushel of
corn will make little over ten and
one-half pounds of pork, gross
Taking the result rs basis, the fol
lowing deductions are made, which
all our farmers would do well to lay
by for a convenient reference:
When corn sells for l55 cents per
bushel, pork costs l J cent per pound
When corn costs III cents per
bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound
When corn costs 25 cents per bush
ell, pork costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 80 cents per bush
cl, pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs so cents per bush
ell, pork costs cents per pound.
The following statement shows
what the farmers realize on their corn
when in the form Of pork:
When pork sells for cents pei
pound it brings 25 cents per bushel
in corn.
When pork sells for cents pen
pound it brings 80 cents per bushcl
i'll corn.
When pork sells for cents PEI
pound it brings 46 cents per bushel
IN corn.

Space IN Planting Corr,

There is more or less disagreement
as to the distance corn should be
planted apart, and the number of
stalks in Il hill. Good crops are
realized from three and half feet
planting, three to four stalks in hill.
Better have been grown, as | have
witnessed, with rows four feet apart
including the hills, which makes the
space between the hills about three
and Il half tect) with three to four
stocks in hill, the difference in this
case being mainly in the greater
number Of ears grown, usually two
to a stalk. and large ut that, the larg-
er space between the hills giving
chance for the sun and air to circu-
iale. have also witnessed a growth
OF com Whele the space between was
but half OF that last mentioned. 1t
was on soil which for several years
had grown large crops of carrots,
and was especially favorable to corn,
being black, highly manured and
deeply rich, wcll-drainod alluvial
deposit. There resulted an immense
growth Of stalks, but no corn, al
though it was the intention Of the
owner, confidently expressed, TO raise
an unusually superior crop. 1t was
failure save in the amount OF fodder
it made. LIN that it paid, so great
was the growth. We want the sun
and the fresh air in our corn as in
our fruit trees. The result being
secured, we can plant as close as we

mire the appearance of breed of
cattle, as exhibited at fair, but adj
miratlon must not be carried SO far
As to make us overlook adaptation to
actual wants or circumstances. The
light, nimble-footed breeds of cattle
are better suited to a rocky, billy
country than those of an opposite
type. Those breeds which are most
profitable for the dairy are the least
so for beet, and this principle must
be considered in all the various
branches Of agriculture.
We have frequently seen it stated
that certain number of pounds of
corn fed to a hog would give Il Ger
tain amount of pork, which may be
true with one breed of hogs and not
with another. The production of fat
VI flesh i'll animals is not carried ON
with such a strict mechanical unifor-
nifty as to allow of no difference in
the processes of growth or laying on
OF flesh beyond that of quantity or
quality of food given. 1t may do
very well for the raisers OF fancy
breeds Of chi ,kens to say that Il GER
tain amount of food can be turned
into so many dozen of eggs and so
much meat; but the rules given do
not always work well in practice
The exhibition of samples is certain
ly the first step toward obtaining spe-
citic information i'll regard to the ar
ticle, but it should always be consid-
cred only that and nothing more

Married Hired Men.

An "Old Farmer" says in the Conn
try Gentlemun:
"When | married, | told my wife
she was never to board Il hired labor
er. Thirty years have elapsed, and l
have stuck to my agreement | get
tirst-rate men by selecting those that
have families, and give them comfort
able houses to live in. They can
board themselves much cheaper than
| can do it. 1t would seem absurd
for my wife to make slave of herself
to feed laborers and do the work of
providing three meals every day, sick
or well, and do the innumerable tasks
OF druggery connected with it, in or
der that my hired mans wife should
escape all this labor and have good
time Of it. Yet there are thousands
of farmers, well off in the world, who
are wearing out and killing their
wives with this very thing. | say,
shame on them! Put up one or two
cheap and neat cottages to begin
with, and try the experiment. Do
not compel the women to the slavery
of providing meals thousand times
year, in addition to the common
work of mending clothes, making
butter, and hundred other things.
Let the men board themselves and
you will make money by it in the
end, for speak from experience"

Good and Poor Farmers.

Farmers are apt to look outside for
the cause Of their failure, If the
crops are poor they curse the wealth
er, if the prices are poor they curse
the markets and the middlemen.--
Sometimes they are right and some
times they are wrong. Farming,
like every other pursuit, requires in
dustry and intellect. Crops won't
raise themselves or sell themselves.
If your land is too wet you must
drain it; if too dry, you must some
how furnish moisture. You can't
control the elements, and bring rain
by wishing for it; or praying for it;
but you must keep the ground stir
red. The cultivator is the best sub
stitute for shower. A field of corn
or potatoes, cultivated every day,
will remain moist within an inch Of
the surface when your meadows and
pastures are as dry as a powder-house.
We see farmers every dly, working
side by side, both ofapparently equal
industry, the one always having good
crops and the others poor ones.-
There is always Il good reason for
the difference, though the parties
most interested may not be able to
see it. One may be too stingy of his
seed, or too stingy to use good seed.
One does his work in the right time
and always has his soil in the right
condition. while the other is always
behind his work, and never half does
it. The crops OF the latter don't
seem to look as they ought ia, and he
gazes oyer the fence at his ncighbor's
fine fields and wonders at the differ
ence. He attributes the trouble eli
Their to his land or his cursed bad
luck, and seldom secs his own care
less, slipshod ways OF doing his work.
When he comes to marketing the
difference is still more apparent. The
careful farmer starts o with Il BIG
advantage. His crops are tirst-class,
well-@rown and wcll-marketed, and
the same pains-taking care that rails
ed them is used in harvesting, pack
ing and shipping, while the careless
grower Is almost sure to bea careless
harvester and shipper.
We are apt to think that any fool
is smart enough to b. a farmer. If
,ur boy isn't intelligent enough to
practice law or medicine, or preach,
or too stupid or honest for q mer-
chant, we give hiiu hoe and set
Iiin to scratching for 4 living, and if
nc iocSu' succeed We oame the hu-
>ues. and not Iii, brains. The fact
Is, Jacre is no good opening any
where for fools, AMI ;he poorest opcn-
ings for IDIOTS are 'Oak openings. =

Specializing on Borrowed III oney

The usual rate of interest in the
West is 10 per cent, and it is gencr-
ally believed that this is the correct
measure Of the value of money. II
the measure Of the value Of a com
modify is what it will bring this is
true; but if the true measure Of value
is what the article can be made to
yield it is not true. Experienced cap
italists and business men give it as
their mature opinion that there is no
kind OF property as valuable us mo
ney loaned at 10 per cent.-which is
tantamount to saying that the average
yield Of industries, enterprises and
speculations is less than 10 per cent
on the amount invested, or, i'll Other
words, that money is not really worth
10 per cent. There are several con
siderations that strengthen this con
clusion. Money loaned at 10 pei
cent. will double itself in seven and
half years; $4,000 will grow into
$4,000 IN that time, and $4,000 will
grow into $4,000. That the average
investment in business ventures and
industries will not do this is too well
known to need a demonstration
While a hundred men who loan mo-
ney at 10 per. cent, compounded
will, with prudent management, dou
bic their fortunes in seven and 4 hall
wears. one hundred men who borrow
money at that rate will fail, in spite
of all the prudence and foresight
they may exercise, to double theirs
So far from it, fifty Of them, if not
more, will break.
There is nothing more clearly es-
tablished by the experience Of bust
ness than the fact that man who
conducts his enterprises on borrowed
capital-whose only resources, OF
chief resources, are the products OF
bills drawn on his shipments-will,
in four cases out of five, come to
bankruptcy, and a farmer who mort
cages his farm for half its value to
secure money at 10 per cent. in the
hope that its net yield will pay the
interest and principal, will, i'll foul
cases out of five, be sold out. These
plain and well-known facts appear to
prove that the average annual pro-
duct of money invested i'll commerce,
speculation, industry and agriculture
is not 10 per cent, and that, while it
may bring that price, it is not really
worth it. If all classes Of borrowers
in the West could be brought to APP
prcciate this important fact, it would
be worth millions to this region.-
There is world Of financial philoso-
ply in it. Nothing is more absurd,
and i'll the long run more disastrous,
than the dclusion that Il man can get
rich by borrowing money to speculate
on; ii is the secret OF four-tifths of
the cases Of bankruptcy that occur in
business and Of the Sheriffs' sales
that take place in the country.-N.
