OF Metropolis, spent Thursday In Vienna,
preparing the records in the Burklow
case, and left on the down train to place
the matter before the supreme court,
which is now in session. His first effort
will be o get the supreme court to grant
Burklow new trial, but upon what
grounds We are unable to say. One Of
the grounds upon which he asked Judge
Dougheriy to grant new trial was that
two jurors who sat upon the Jury that
tried Burklow were not rendered by the
council Of the defendant. The efforts
that Burklow's council are making to
save his life are commendable."

DIVERSIFIED FARMING,

Some principal reasons why system
of mixed farming, which includes the
raising of stock largely, is surer and a,
the same time more profitable, is that
thus the farm is kept up to its original
fertility, and, often, to increased fertility.
These farmers never make an entire
failure in crops no matter how bad the
season may be. His fat stock gives him
cash returns twice a year if necessary,
once in the spring from winter feeding
and again in the autumn from pasturage
In the case of sheep, this gain is added to
by the wool sold in the summer. His
dairy and poultry yard will furnish no
small sum during the spring, summer and
autumn. The milk, butter and cheese,
and we'll kept vegetable garden, will
furnish one-half the living of the family.
These rules, as stated, are general ones
They will apply to all sections of the
country NORTH, south, east and west, being
modified only by climatic conditions
and the adaptation of certain animals
and plants to climate. The rule will
apply always. The farmer who raises
the greatest variety of crops or animals
which his soil is capable of sustaining is,
all things considered, the best and most
uccessful.-Prairie Farmer.
