Farmers paDGrS,

There Is "a great difference between
tl,e Farmers papers of to-day, and
twenty-five years ago. Then, science
aud "book farming" was decried us
tending only t0 useless expense In try
inv false theories; and, indeed, SO 1t did,
so poor was the so-callpd science of that
time. But now the science, pertaining
tn agriculture have become so system
ntized, and of such immediate practical
benefit In their applications, that intel
ligent farmers everywhere are Intensely
eager to learn the teachings of science;
they have become convinced that true
"science Is knowledge, scientific Is
knowing, just that nnd nothing less or
more.p The first OF agricultural jour
nails to appreciate this want In its
breadth was the ycicntifc Frrncr, of
Boston, Mass, Which, as Its name inn
plies, is devoted to thi5 branch Of liter
nture, and which the editors announce
to bs published "iu tho interests of
profitable agriculture, " certainly "a
kind Of agriculture needing develop
ment. Judging from It's record thus
far, It fully lives up to tts Intentions;

In Reed City; with 3 run Of stoiie, and
power enough to run them all ut one

AS toll, and gives every man the same
grist he sends, promptly. He takes
all grists nom the railroad depot and
returns them there, free Of expense to
his patrons. He has one run of stone

Circuit Judge.
The jury We're out only about haitian
hour, when they returned with u ver-
dict of guilty.
The case of Wood and Ross, for is-
suing the $32 order upon which North
had been onvicted-Wood having
been Supervisor and Ross township
clerk--was then called. Ross having
been tried and ncquitted-as given In
our last issue-the trial Of Wood pre-
ccetied, ending In a disagreement OF
the jury, Friday evening. The jury
stood evenly divided, and were dis
charged 10y the Judge. This leaves
one or two indictments still hanging
over Wood and Ross. which will proL-
ably he tried at the next term OF Couri.
In the matter of the forfeiture Of
Woods bail bond by reason of his Net
appearing for trial with Ross, motion
was made by F. l.. Allen (who has
been employed by the defense In all
these cases). to set aside the forfeiture,
on the ground that Wood had been
unable to he present. A statement
was made that Wood had come from
his present place of residence tMather-
ton or Hubbardston) and went through
here to Ludington for the purpose OF
collecting some money due him. On
the other hand. 1t was claimed by the
prosecution that the whole move was
but trick of the defense to prevent
the Joint trial of Wood and Ross, after
the Court had ruled that they should
be tried together, to save expense to
the county. The reason of the dcfcnsc,
as alleged by the prosecution, was that
| Wood and Ross would stand better
chance to escape conviction, If tried
separately. The Court decided that
Woods bondsman should be held in
payment of the sum forfeited.
Judson North and James B Taylor
were arraigned before the Court and
sentcncc.l-the first named to pay the
sum of $30.5O, or be imprisoned; and
the latter to pay $75, or go to Jail for
sixty days. North procured the mon
ey, paid his fine and was released.
Taylor was given till Monday morning
to pay his fine, at which time he WAS
locked up by Sheriff Oviatt. We learn
that the greater part Of the SIS was

THE FARMERS INDEPENDENCE.-Whi lille the
manufacturing and commercial world is
passing through crisis called by the name
of hard times, the farming fraternity is
filled with plenty and is blessed in basket
and store. The farmers are not the ones
who are gazetted in the weekly list of
failures. Their homes are the centres of
abundance and peace. They can stay
quietly within them and defy the storms
that regularly sweep through the world of
trade. And these times are imprsssing this
truth to the popular mind. TO own and
cultivate a few acres is wealth indeed COM
pared with the actual dependence on
another for work to feed the family. The
man on the land is at no other mans call.
He is his own master to the end. He is
a citizen to be respected and consulted in
the neighborhood where he dwells, and
with proper thrift, coupled with industry,
he will ever be fortunate and happy

Do those extra teeth in colts, called
"wolf teeth" injure the sight? Should
they be removed, and how? DR.. Horne
gave the results of the examination of over
1000 horses, of which twenty per cent. had
then, or had previously had, wolf teeth
false molars), and only one showed signs
of any disease in the eyes. If the extra
teeth trouble the horse in eating, they
should be pulled, and which can easily be
done with heavy pair Of dentist forceps.

TENT CATERPILLARs.-It is the interest
and duty of every farmer and. fruitgrower
to make a resolute warefare against the in
sects named at the head Of this article.
The eggs will now soon hatch out and the
nests will be found in the crotches of trees
filed with the young caterpillars. They
may be destroyed by making swa5 of soft
rags on long pole and wetting them in
ley strong enough to destroy them. The
ley may be made by teaching ashes, or by
dissolving soda and potash in water. These
worms are very destructive to the young
and tender foliage Of fruit trees and grape
vines.

VINEGAR FROM SUGAR BEETs.-One bushel
of sugar beets, properly rasped and pressed,
will yield five gallons ofiuice, which, treated
the same as cider will make a stronger
vinegar of as good but different flavor; and
in making cider, nine bushels of apples and
one of sugar heets will lmake cider superior
to apples alone. Every farmer can raise
sugar beets, and with the juice expressed
at the cider mill, make all the vinegar he
wants for his own use and have surplus
for sale. With vinegar at price it could
be made for from beets, its consumption
would be increased, as it would enter into
many articles of manufacture from which
the price now precludes it. When it is
found how cheap sugar beets can be raised,
and their value for vinegar as well as food
for stock, they will be grown more. The
beet juice can also be worked into sugar as
easily as maple sugar now is and requires
no more skill.-NatiOnaL AgricuLt,trtst.

SPRoUTED PoTAToEs.-Yo our correspondent
inquiries if potatoes with the sprouts broken
off will do for seed. They will and the
sprouts will be renewed. But in producing
sprouts the potato is partly exhausted, and
plants will not be so strong as if they had
never sprouted at all for the same reason
that the plants from small potatoes are not
so strong as those from larger ones. If
your correspondent will plant alternate
rows with tubers that have had the sprouts
broken off and with seed that has been
kept cool and not sprouted, he will find
the latter to yield the most potatoes, il he
will measure the product of each. If he
guesses at the amount he will not perceive
much difference. The best way to manage
sprouted potatoes is to preserve the sprouts
on them. Carry the potatoes carefully into
the field just as they are, without pulling
the mass apart, and as carefully take Out
each potato, without at all touching the
delicate shoot and plant it, either with OIL
without cutting, and cover carefully; the
crop will be both eaflierand larger Country

ORCHARD Grass Again we take the op-
portunity to rccaauaud orchard grass to
be sown will ,..... aneu it is designed to
keep the land in grass for any length of
time. On the light soils of the Peninsula
it is the best grass there is for permanent
pasture. We have known a good set of it
to stand for thirty years, and we suppose it
will forever. II starts early in the spring,
grows and ripens with clover and mixes
well with it for hay. The seed sells now
for about one dollar and a-half bushel,
