WEIGHT OF Pres FOR MARKET.-It
Was only a few years ago that swiae
breeders were v'e,ng with each other
for the greatest weight Of carcass, but
this is DOW all changed. Hogs that
will weigh 500 pounds are sold at .
les price per pound than those Of ESQ
TO 300 pounds. The market in Eng'
land has long favored light weights:
London is chiefly supplied with pigs Of
less than 200 pounds weight. And
this tendency Of the market 70 pigs,
we'll fatted, but Of small weight is just
what the farmers should encourage, for
it is exactly in ths line Of his interest.
1t costs more to make the s-coud hun
dred pounds Of pig tnan the drss,
and still more to make the third hun.
dred pounds, and so every pound add
ed becomes more expensive. III Walls'

VIM. 3. HERRlOTT.
Editor and Publisher.
JAMES g. BLAINE.

The mastery stroke of Mr.. Blaine,
iu the House last Monday, has rescued
his name from the cloud Of suspicion
that for few days threatened to, at
least temporarily, overshadow it and he
again stands before the Country un
tarnished. His enemies denounce it
as an extraordinary proceeding, and it
doubtless was. Mr.. Blaine is the Oh.
ject Of the most extraordinary conspir-
acy on record and if he would extri-
cate himself from the tolls Of his enc
mics be must adopt measures that will
meet the emergency. The Democratic
party, rival candidates and their
friends in the Republican party, per-
sonal enemies aud the House judiciary
Committee have brought to bear every
influence within their reach for the
purpose of destroying him Every
story that any one chooses to tell he is
called upon to explain and disprove by
positive testimony. Every person who
testifies in his favor is denounced as
a confederate in his alleged misdeeds.
The opinions his enimies entertain of
his public acts and private business
transaction are published as evidence
against him. He has been subject to
tests that no man living can stand and
no American citizen is amenable to,
and the fact that he has not been
crushed is conclusive, not so much of
his transcendent ability aud energy, as
Of his more than ordinary personal and
official integrity. To say that every
act performed and word written by a
man during an ordinary life time shall
be such that personal and political
animosity cannot infer anything i'm
proper from them, or falshood and
perjury give some unworthy colorlng
to them, is demanding more than is
within tho range Of human possibilities
Even if Mr.. Blaine had not been able
to accomplish the complete vindica.
tion that he did on Monday, it would
have been an insult to the intelligence
of the people and especially Of Repub
lican voters to have put him aside as
candidate because of his disinclination
to have his private correspondence
made public. The Republican party
is not composed Of the kind of mater
ial that would endorse such injustice
or needs to be handled so tenderly
Mondays performance accomplished
more than the exculpation Of Mr..
Blaine. It demonstrated to the coun-
try that the judiciary committee is
either vepomous partisan faction or a
miserable tool.
We do not regard the Presidency
as belonging to Mr.. Blaine. Wethink.
too, that some Of the other candidates
are emm;pently fitted for the position
but We believe, as we have believed
for months, that Mr.. Blaine is the best
man in the Country for our next Pres
idept.

State wers trausplanted on the 9th day
of July. We notice that in many in
stenoes there is disposition to set out
cabbages for winter use early in the

first week in July. The time then
will be ample for the plants to reach
maturity in the northwest. and they

A NEW INDUSTRY.

Wheat, ever since Minnesota has
been State, has been her staple pro.
duct, the soil aud climate being pecul.
iarly and particularly adapted to ito
raising. A diversity Of industries is,
however, necessary to continued pros.
perity in all branches of business, and
for a number of years agriculturists
have been attempting to solve the prob.
lem Of what could be substituted bY
the Minneota farmer in place Of wheat
provided the demand should not equal
The supply. As our vast rolling prsir-
les are each year being brought mor9
and mors under cultivation, the practi.
cal solution Of this question becomes
one Of tho urgent demands Of tho
times, and one Of inestimable value
aud importance to the Minnesota farm.
er. A prominent resident OF this oity
has for past Two or three years been
studying the subject both from prao.
'ical and scientific stand poiut, and il
convinced that the cultivation Of hemp
would result advantageously to those
who make the experiment So thor
oughly is he impressed with the i'm.
portance Of his suggestion that he has
placed himielf in correspondence with
the managers of the Norteru Pacific
and from them has received
letters Of commedation and encourage.
ment It is asserted that hemp, equal
70 the Russian and better than that
raised in Missouri or Kentucky, can be
raised in this State, and that ~ anuu.
al income Of from 81 600 900 TO So,
900 600 will thus fIl the left hand
pocket eff the farmer and balance the
roil of greenbacks carried 10 the right
hand pocket, and earned by the sowing
and reapiog Of the golden grain.
The fact Of there being snow on the
ground during a greater portion Of the
year. as in Russia. furnished ample
means for what is termed ''snow rot
ing" which process bleaches the hemp
white, and at the same time does not
destroy the original strength Of the fab.
ric. which is not retained by the dew
md water process Of rottine. as is in
vogue in Missouri and Kentucky.
The latter named processes are very
laAorious. and make what is termed
dirty handling" the process Of rot.
ting also reduces the current market
price somewhat. Homp seed accident.
ally scattered near Fort Smelling has
grown rank and attained perfect ma.
'uri'y.
The subject is to be brought before
the attention of our member Of Con.
yress, and may prove revolution in
