BUILDING ON THE SAND.

lis well to WOO, 'tls well 10 wed,
For so the world has done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, We young and fair,
Be sure ye ledgc with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For II you give,hot heart for heart
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
Ana built upon the sand"
IT'S well to save, IT'S well to have
A goodly share of gold,
And hold enough OF shining stuff,
For charity 10 cold.
But place not oil your hop and trust
In what the deep mine bri ngs;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmixt d with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone
VIII often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest and own
Ills "built upon the sand"
'Tis good TO speak in kindly guise
And sOothe whene'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mIBd,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
ct deeds with language dwell.
L he one who pities starv ,ng birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"

Lights and Shades of a Cbeckered
Career.
Tho Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune telegraphs as
follows in regard to the bankruptcy of
Senator Dorsey, republican, of Arkan-
sas
Senator Dorsey having, by his own
petition, been adjudged a bankrupt.
notices have been forwarded to his
creditors that a meeting will be held
in Helena, Arkansas, March 4, 1875, to
prove debts against his estate, and to
choose an assignee. The total liabili-
ties are $1S3,58O
Among the creditors named is J.E.
Gregg, of Urbana, Ohio, who has a
claim of $4,000. This man came to
washington in the summer of 1873.
with letter OF introduction from SEN
ator Dorsey, then and now o member
OF the Senate committee on District
affairs. Although he was entirely un-
acquainted with the kind of work that
the board of public wooks was then
prosecuting, he was at once assigned
him contracts Nos. S06 and 800, for
laying wood pavcments and construct
. ing sewers, the cost of which was esti
mated to exceed $500, 900. He at once
farmed them out. About the same time
theSenator bought ahouse on Connecti-
cut avenue from Mr.. Shepherd for
$16,t coo, and purchased furniture from
a Northern firm to place in it for $15.-
600 more. The grand house warming
with which the Senator celebrated his
| removal TO the house will be remem.
bered by all the members of the "ring"
and their friends who were present, as
lone of the most brilliant social events
OF the season."
Soon after the cash resources of the
District government were exhausted,
and its securities and certificates, in
which contractors were paid, were de-
preciated like the French assignats. 80
that the allowing board prices proved
to be cloud, and the large anticipat-
ed profits dwindled into nothing.
Afterward Senator Dorsey was com
PEELED to return the mansion to Mr..
Shepherd. The drafts on London
given in payment for the furniture
came back protested, but MIR. Shep-
herd kindly took the furniture off the
Senator'S hands, and gave his note in
exchange for the notes outstanding.
Thus Mr.. Shepherd lost nothing, but
Dir. Gregg is still on the list of credi-
tors. OF course the fact that Mr..
Gregg got contracts through Senator
Dorsey's influence, and that he now
appears as one of Mr.. Dorsey's credi-
tors, proves nothing improper, but it
Is, to cay the least, suggestive.

The st. Louis Whisky Frauds-COn-
victiOn of Mckee.


VictiOn of Mckee.
ST. Louis, January 31.-The jurors
in the case Of William Mckee, one of
the proprietors of Globe. Democrat,
charged with completely in the whisky
frauds, received their instructions from
Judge Dillon, Judge Treat coinciding,
at 1870 o'clock this morning, and re-
tired at 11:30. The charge was very
long. 1t reviewed the admitted oper-
ations of the whisky ring from 1871 TO
1875. There was no doubt the govern
ment had been defrauded of millions
in st. Louis alone, and it seemed as
tonishing that the conspiracy could
exist so long.
After the jury retired the court an
nounced that the trial of Constantine
Mcguire, ex-collector of internal rev.
enue, would begin at two o'clock this
afternoon, and directed the attorneys
to notify Gen. Babcock and his wit
nesses to present themselves next
Monday, unless otherwise informed
before that time.
THE VERDICT.
According to previous announcement
the court reconvened at 10 o'clock. 2.
NJ, Judge Treat on the bench. to
receive what the jury in the Mckee
case might have to present. Quarter
of an hour later the jury came in with
the following verdict: We the jury
find the defendant guilty"
The counsel for the defense asked
that the jury be polled, which was
done, and all the jurors responded
affirmatively.
The verdict was unexpected, almost
everybody anticipating disagreement
or acquittal.

Batter Making in Winter,

An old dairy neighhor of mine said
to me, Solve the cows plenty of salt
and you will have no trouble in hay
ing the butter come in the WINTER
And that is just what | had been do
ing and always do, both to cows and
horses, at all seasons of the year and
still the butter will sometimes refuse
to be persuaded, though the occasion
is rare but that a careful churning of
from twenty to forty minutes in the
winter will do the job for it, and this
Is little time enough to satisfy me in
the churning of butter in the winter
time,
From what know by experience
and can learn Of others in this almost
exclusive dairy region, | will lay
down . few plain rules: Feed the
COWS with yariety-hay, mill feed
and green vegetables, such as pota-
toes, apples, DC; let them have free
access to salt and pure water; set the
milk where it will not freeze, and let
1t stand from thirty-six to forty eight
hours; keep the cream well stirred to-
gether in the pot, and when brought
out to churn, raise the temperature
to human heat, say into sixties; then
go at the ohurnlng with an even,
moderate stroke, keep on that way,
and the presumption is, you will have
butter within half an hour or so; but
if it takes several hours, do not get
in 4 passion, and push things, for If
you get tho cream beat up into a
foam, you may as well churn the
wind to to hope for butter while it is
II that condition.

TIE best Breed of Fowls.

The question is often asked
(which is the best breed of fowls ?"
That question will never be answer
ed to the satisfaction Of all fowl
breeders, because there are so many
different opinions on the subject.
One man has bred light Brahmas,
and thinks they cannot be excelled;
another has the dark Brahmas, and
he thinks that breed the best; while
another likes the Leghorn, or some
other breed, above all others. 1t de-
ponds on what your object is, whether
eggs alone, fowls for market, or both
fowls and eggs. Very large fowls
are Improbable as layers, if the eggs
arc sold, because their eggs are so
large. A dozen small eggs will sell
for as much as a dozen large ones, as
eggs are eggs whether large or small.
AS layers only, the different varieties
of Leghorn and Hamburg fowls, pro-
badly cannot be exceiled. But for
dressed, market poultry, the light
and dark Brahmas cannot be ex-
celled; and as layers they are eonsid-
cred by many to be in the first class,
and even the best of all breeds; but
it will not cost SO much for feed to
produce one hundred eggs from some
of the smaller birds, as from the
larger ones. For general use it is
safe to say, that the light Brahmas
stand at the head of the list Of dung
hill fowls.

How to Manure.

A correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican reports the fol-
lowing remarks made at Farmers
Club last month by Prof Stock
bridge:
The remark of J. Johnson, that in
these days farmers cannot afford to
wait from one to six years to realize
the full benefit of their fertilizers,
covers the whole discussion, which
ranged at length through the merits
of deep and shallow blowing, COM
posting, cultivation of large and
small farms, the deep and surface de-
posting Of manure, and the compare
tive value of rapid and slow growing
trees. Land may be plowed when
ever it is dry, but some system of
action is preferable. Flowing gener-
ally enriches the ground, which
should be left in state most suitable
for cultivation; it is well-nigh impos-
sible to employ too much of the lat
ter. A certain piece on the college
farm was cultivated l6 times in the
summer Of 1874, even the horse had
to wade knee-deep in mud. The
blowing should bring up no deeper
earth than can be thoroughly pulver-
lied afterward. L. p. Warner OBJ
.jected to cultlvating Immediately
after a rain, preferring to wait two or
three days. Sandy soil should be SO
plowcd as to make it more compact,
and clay should be loosened; nor
should a large amount of new soil be
turned up at once. Prof. Stock
bridges rule is to pillow manure III SIX
inches on light sandy loan soil,
and to leave it nearer the surface,
and even on top of heavier soils. All
our soil, down to the bed rock, is ca
pable of cultivation, and will be used
if the race lives long enough. He
once plowed Is inches, and tried to
raise carrots, but had no crop. He
could conceive of case where coarse
manure might be plowed five inches
into clay land, not for immediate re-
suits. but to leaven the whole, or, in
other words, to start beneficial chemi
cal influences. All our fields should
be made to pay taxes, interest, cost
of labor Absolutely green manure
in the hills does not help the current
crop any more than so much gravel.
Decomposition alone furnishes plant
food. This being the case, we espec-
tally need to fertllizc our land with
brains. If 1t is possible to realize
the full benefit of a fertilizer in one
year, rather than to wait four, let us
do it. No merchant, with convent
ent market for buying, will lay in
four years stock Of goods at one
time. Of course, tho old rule of
charging so per cent. Of the manure
to the first crop, 80 to the second, 90
to the third, holds good. Even if all
the chemical matter were taken up
the first year, forces would be started
which would increase the second
crop. The cartlng Of muck and
other heavy materials into the yard
for composing is too costly, in labor,
to be profitable, unless to save ma
nure which is wasting. In consider
ing what fertilizers he should use,
the farmer must bear in mind the
character of his soil and crop. The
surest way to decompose barnyard
manure is to apply from 100 to 200
pounds of plaster to the cord; the lat
ter amount is better, and it should
be we'll "1orked in"

a New Use for Corn.

From time to time we learn of new
and important discoveries in means
for utilizing our farm products, dis
coveries which, though seemingly I'M
important at first sight, have in the
end proved of great advantage to
both producer and consumer. Of
these the latest is the discovery that
sugar and molasses of good quality
can be successfully produced from
Indian corn. The first experiment
was made in Iowa a short time since,
and the result is said to be such as
may be considered the foundation of
an extensive and important industry.
Following this initial experiment, a
few farmers in various districts took
the matter in hand, and found it very
lucrative. A somewhat extensive
Western sugar mill has introduced
the new process, and to this mill the
farmers in the vicinity took their
corn and sold it, the operation being
similar to that of the system at but
ter and cheese factories. 1t is stated
that Il quality of molasses can be pro-
duced from corn far superior to that
produced from sorghum, and the
syrup can be made to granulate for
sugar with little skill and exper-
fence. The culture of corn is well
understood by every farmer in the
country, and as there Is scarcely any
limit to the quantity that can be rails
ed, the manufacture of corn sugar
ought to be more free from obstacles
than the manufacture of "beet sugar. -
The matter should ut least be fairly
tested, and the results made known
as soon as possible.-Nec YORK Bul
