Why Farming Does Not Pay.

The impression has gone abroad
throughout the land, that farming
does not pay, and this impression is
fast gaining ground among tile farm
ers especially OF the South.
But the question may be asked,
whether the wastcful and eXtrava-
CANT method OF farming, together
with the inattcntion to business, and
the trusting of work too much to
hired labor, has not something to DO
in the matter. We could cite many
instances where farmers who have
attended strictly To business and
practiccd economy, have made mo.
ncy since the war, and have denied
themselves none OF the substantial
and solid comforts OF life.
There is Il great need among farm.
crs of more accurate observation and
experiment. 1t il no wonder we
have conflicting views on thiSimpor
tant subject. when theories are built
upon mere guess work" and cOnClu.
sions arrived at from false premises.
\ good deal that makes mp the cur,
rent reading in our best agricultural
papers, is opinion rather I Jan stub.
born fact. Some farmers are lncapa'
blc o. making accurate experiments.
because they will not weigh all the
circumstances connected with them.
and because they allow prejudice to
warp facts. They do not seek to
learn truth for its own sake, but are
looking only for those points which
seem to tortlly their preconcciNcd
opinions.
Now We believe the Grange is the
best school in which we can discuss
the all.important question, does
farming pay! and where we may
learn how to make farming pay.

"CANKER IN THE Bud"

You watch its development with expect
ant solicitude - the choice, exquisitely-
moulded bud which promises to unfold
with the perfect flower. You perhaps
think how 1t will adorn the drawing-room
vase, and anticipate the showing it to your
hower-loving friends. But some morning
you find its head dropping, its fragrance
fled, and an ugly purple spot on one of the
delicately- tinted petals. 1t is the poets
'canker in the bud" How often the
loathsome canker blights the cherished
"infant blossoms in our household gardens
those human buds which give earnest of
brilliant future. The noisome canker, so
long oncealed-scrofula-a length reveals
its dreaded presence and to our bright hopes
succeeds the most agonizing fear for we
know the fatal sequel it portends-pulmo-
nary consumption. 1t is estimated by en-
inent medical authorities that at least one
fifth of mankind are afflicted with this
insidious malady. But its ravages are so
secret, that even its victims are unaware of
its presence until it suddenly discloses
itself in some of its myriad and oft-times
fatal forms. A slight cutaneous eruption
is often the only indicator of its presence.
The only means of exterminating this
disease from the system is by a thorough
course of constitutional treatment. This
treatment must fulfill three indications,
namely, promote nutrition, alter or purify
the blood, and arrest disorganization of the
tissues and the formation of tubercles. No
more efficient Alternative can be employed
for these purposes than DIR. Pierce's
Medical Discovery. While imparting
strength and tone to the digestive organs
it cleanses the blood and heals the diseased
tissue. Test its virtues ere the deadly
canker has blighted the life you prize.

A Train Run Down an Embankment for
Purpose Of Robbery.

ST. Louis, June 4.--As an express train
ON the St. Louis and San Francisco railway
late the Atlantic and Pacific railway,
reached point one and half miles west
of Wood End station, one hundred and
flfty-nve miles from st. Louis at 0.20
o'clock last night, tho engineer saw some
obstruction on the track, and instantly APP
piled the air brakes, but too late, for on
reaching the spot where the obstruction
was the engine and baggage car left the
track aud plunged down au embahkmeut
Of forty feet. Samuel Richardson, the
fireman, and DIR. E. i. Atkinson, who was
on the engine, was instantly killed, and
Frank Cotton, the engineer, was 80 badly
injured that he died in two hours.
Conductor Wilson started for another
engine, and on the way heard a pistol shot,
and ball passed through his hat. Several
other shots were fired, aud passengers say
that they saw five men standing near, who
were revealed by the flashes from their
pistols, but no one was hit. Two balls
passed through the baggage car
On examining the track it was found
that two fish bars connecting the rails on
both sides of the track had been disjointed,
and the ends of the rails moved so that the
train would run down the embankment.
The shots fired and the men seen leave no
doubt that this was diabolical scheme TO
run the whole train down the bank, rob
the express car and plunder the passengers.
That it was not carried out may be ex-
planned by the fact that the night was in
tensely dark, that it rained heavily, and
that the train was only running at a speed
of about ten miles an hour. No clue to
the perpetrators of the fendish act has been
found.

A Wife's Suicide.

HAwLEY, Pa, May S1.-Mrs. Daniel
Zimmerman cut her throat with butcher
knife between the hours Of 2 and o'clock
this morning. On the evening previous,
while lady callers were at her house, Mrs.
Zimmerman complained of her head feeling
strangely. At their usual time the family
retired, and were soon lost in sleep. At
about 3 o'clock Mr.. Kunzerman was
awakened by their little child, who was
lying by his side, and reaching to the
opposite side of the bed to awaken his
wife, he discovered that she was not in her
usual place. The bed was cold, showing
that she had been up some time. Mr..
Zimmerman Immediately arose and went to
search for her. He soon ascertained that
the outside doors were all locked, but that
the door. leading to the pantry was open.
At the foot of the cellar steps he found his
wife in sitting position, with cash across
her throat nearly six inches in length, en-
tirely severing the windpipe, and large
butchers knife by her side. About two
years ago this family lost by death three
interesting children, and thereafter the
mother was not herself.

NHr The first of the drink-registering
apparatuses, which new law says must be
used in all Virginia bar-rooms, has been
put In operation in Richmond. 1t is
wooden box, about cubic foot in size.
On one side is crank, and on another dials
like those of a gas meter. The bar keeper
turns the crank once round at every sale
of drink, bell strikes, and the dial
registers one. The object of the device is
to determine the amount of tax to be
collected, at the rate of one cent on every
drink. Although a heavy fine may be
imposed for neglect to use these machines
properly, or for tampering with them in
any way-and there are officers whose
duty it is to detect such offences--the
belief is that they will not answer, the
purpose, because drinkers will generally
connive at violations of the law.
