YfQl cNeC.

The St. Paul Press publishes a list Of
murders and attempts to kill, which &C.
cured in this State from March 1874 to
March 1875. The number of actual homi-
cidcs is twenty one, and of attempts to kill
forty-making total Of sixty-one. This
shows that it is necessary to throw great
CT security around human life than we
now have. Not more than four of the
twenty-onc fiends have been convicted of
murder in the first degree, and not one of
them has suffered the penalty Of death.
The subject is one of public interest and
should elicit earnest attention.

All Labor Should be Professional.

One half OF those who till the soil and
Of those who follow any of the other avo-
cations of life, have never had any special
training for their work. Whatever they
may be doing, they are doing as the re-
suit of some accident, and not as the con.
sequence of a we'll defined and thorough
ly maturcd plan, early adopted and con-
stantly pursued. A majority of men
drift with the current Of lifc-making an
effort only to keep themselves afloat.
They never think Of accclcrating their
speed, Tor yet Of resisting the current,
nor Of turning it aside for the promotion
Of collateral interests; it is enough tor
such if they succeed in keeping upon the
surface. Thiuk over the list Of profess
ional men Of your acquaintance, and see
bow many among them have become con-
spicuous. What portion of the lawyers
has risen to emincnce: How many of
the Physicians: How many Of the Min
listers? The whole number of those in
either rank who have made themselves
known to the world may be counted on
your fingers. The same is true Of the
farmers and the mechanics. Why is il?
The reason is plain and the answer sim
pie. Men arc not what they are, SO much
from design as from accident, and they
regard their present occupation as only
temporary-a mere means Of subsistence
something to be followed only until
new avenues open before them promising
better results. Only 4 few men are salts
fed with their calling-contcnted with
their work and willing to perscvcre and
make the most Of it. This is the reason
that there are so few models of excellence
and Of success in any Of the departments
Of human effort. The profession Of agri
culture is no exception. There are moro
men in its ranks than in any other who
have no fitness for the work. Power was
considered formerly to be the all-inpor
tant requisite in this business, and tho

Sow, Oats With wheat.

1t has been proven by actual expert
ment that by sowing oats with wheat
more of the latter, and of 4 better quality
can he raised to the acre, than if wheat bt
raised separately, and that the yield OF
oats Will ut the same time be fully one
half rs great as that Of the wheat. We
state briefly the reasons. Let. Oats con
dense from the air more moisture than
wheat docs. I'd. Oats have set Of brace
roots near the surface which by the pro
cess Of growing, seem to lift up the sol
and keep it light ind loose, and thus rem
der it capable Of absorbing all the waite,
that reaches it. Sd. Oats are Of \ more
rank growth, shade the ground more than
wheat, and rctard-if they do not alto
gather prevent the process Of evaporation
The value of Il mixed crop has been thor
oughly tested and found to be greater
than that raised separately.
Timothy Haggaman, Of Henry County
Illinois, says: II raised 80 bushel Of
wheat and 20 busllcl Of oats TO the acre
by mixing the seed. When on the same
soil and the same year, only raised II
bushcl of wheat where l sowed clear
wheat.
John Dancy, of Linn County, Iowa
says: 81 have tried raising wheat and
oats together with the best Of success, n
ways raising more wheat Of a better quail
ty, and nearly as much oats as wheat tc
the acre, rs when I sowcd only wheat
One peck Of oats to every bushcl Of wheat
is the proportion have used"
George D. Prentice, of Wisconsin, says
every farmer should SOW wheat and oats
together. I have tried it for several years
and never have failed to raise nearly
double the amount of wheat that I did
where I raised clean wheat, and more
than oats enough to pay for good Fan.

Hundreds of farmers can testify to the
advantage Of raising wheat and oats to.

We hope that some Of our farlncs will
try it this season, if only to limited ex.

Railroad Disaster.

About / o'clock last Sunday morning
two passenger trains collided near Ty-
rome, on the Burlington & Missouri River
Railroad, killing three persons and
wcunding several others. The killed are
conductor Miller, express messenger Gar
diner, and the fireman (name unknown to
u.s. all belonging to the eastern bound
train. Both the engineers were badly
scalded and one had a leg broken. A
special agent of the 1. S. Mail Service
was on board and received terrible inju-
ries, although perhaps not fatal. The ac-
cidcnt is attributed to the blundcr of the
telegraph operator The train going east
was one station late, as was also 4 freight

train had orders to wait there for the pas
scngcr going west, which had been direct
ed to make that station. The operator
handed to the passenger conductor the
order which he had received directing
the freight train to hold. Seeing it did
not apply to him, he Supposed the track

more than 4 mile when the engineer threw
