A SINGULAR RocKcAsrLE TRA6EDY.--
On "wednesday. Of last week. l5-year old
son ofo. J. Shrewsberry and james Myers,
a youth Of the same age, attending the same
school, had a difficulty, which old man
shrewsberry and John c. Myes agreed
should he settled BY a fair fight between
the boys. Accordingly = ring was formed,
and the fight began. II was soon seen that
the Myers boy was getting the best Of his
opponent, when old man Shrewsbury be-
came excited and started towards him
with cane. The older Myers demanded
fair play, and ran between Shrewsberry and
his brother, when he was himself felled
TO the earth by the cane. He endeavored
TO get up, but was again knocked down,
whereupon he drew his pocket-knife, and
rushing at hressberry, stabbed him four
times In the aide, literally carving up his
lung. Shrewsbury lived until last Mon
day, suffering intense pain, when he was re-
lieved from his sufierings by death. Myers
vas taken In custody and will receive his
examining trial at Mt. Vernon to-day.

The Snowflake Potato.

A correspondent of the Rural World
introduces to public notice potato
said to be superior even to the Early
Rose. He says:
"The Snowflake has SO many good
qualities and traits that it is univer-
sally liked wherever it is known. /
believe it to be the coming potato, and
will prove as great boon to the pota-
to growing and eating public as the
Early Rose has been.
have long contended that in this
latitude we could not grow late pota-
toes profitably, and we needed an ear
ly potato that was of good quality,
productive, and would keep into the
next season. These conditions the
Snowflake meets perfectly. 1t ripens
about two weeks later than the Early
Rose, is even more productive and
beautiful, oval, fattened white tubers
eyes even with the surface, boils end
bakes dry and mealy, and will keep in
tip top condition until late the follow
ing season. The tubers are medium
sized, and grow close together at the
foot of the plants, which makes easy
digging. The plants are vigorous
growers, of light green color, which
when they get nearly grown, fall over
thus covering the whole ground, and
effectually preventing the growth of
weeds after the crop is made. have
grown it three years, and have never
a hollow potato, nor has it ever made
second growth and become prongy,
and has always proved uniformly pro-
cuctive. 1t possesses more good quail
tiles than any other patato that know
OF, and is bound to become exceeding

Early Chicks.

The strongest and most vigorous
fowls are most always obtained, as far
as my experience goes, from the first
litter of eggs that hen lays when she
first commences in the spring, not only
because the hen has had a winters
rest, but because the chicks get good
Roadway of growth before the hottest
months come on, and those unwelcome
visitors, the greatest enemy the chicks
have got, appear, namely, lice. which
destroy so many of our chicks, not
withstapding all our efforts. Kero-
sene is too powerful for little chicks.
Sulphur and lard mixed, or either,
separate, will blister the little things,
and draw their eyelids up SO close as
to blind and sometimes TO kill them,
whether put on the chicks or on the
mother. | have tried both, with great
care, with but very little success.
Let US then, if we want fine and
healthy chicks, select the best fresh
eggs from the best formed fowls, and
set them as early as we possibly can,
and the chicks will be almost full
grown before the cold and chilly nights
of fall come.-American Poultry
Yard.

The Raral World expresses its views
about clover for swine very pointedly
in the following extract:
off l were planning farm for the
raising of hogs | would be lavish in
the use of clover seed, and have large
proportion of the farm seeded to clo'
YER. Then would be lavish of fenc-
ing-having small fields or lots, and
change the stock from one lot to the
other often so as to pasture no lot too
close, thus letting the grass get a good
start again before turning the stock on
to it. Then in the autumn | would
cut and cure clover while it is yet
green, and NOW it away in dry place
for winter feeding. A little spriAk-
ling of salt, while it is being slowed
away, will add to its quality. In this
way our swine may have what nature
seem to demand the year round. [ ex-
pect to see the result of this mode OF
feeding next April, when the young
pigs come, and shall be greatly disap-
pointed If | am not more than ever in
favor, another season, of clover for
hogs.

quality and at lower price than or

and gatient investigation, he brought
forth the process of making from caul
tallow what is now known as the "Ol-
eomargairine Butter" The manufac-
ture of it soon began to spread. Five
years ago it had made considerable

The following to the Farmer Friend
from an Erie county, Pennsylvania,
patron, will interest our readers: "Cor-
ry Grange, No. So, Pennsylvania, is in
a prosperous condition, having had
five additional members the present
year. Our meetings are well attended
and very interesting, Any wander

the first or third OF each month, will
find from fifty to one hundred and fifty
live patrons at their hall, at O'Clock,

the mistletoe, hanging upon the limbs
of another, and drawing its life there

few weeks since from our worthy
national lecturer, Brother Mortimer
Whitehead, and if any Of the grangers
are sickly, we advise them to send for

Poultry.

The Poultry World reads US lee
ture on this branch of industry. We
copy an extract:
at is largely demonstrated that the
excitement current on both sides of
the Atlantic for years, in connection
with what has been termed the poul-
try mania, has been productive of a
world of good to both countries. And
it has long ago been proved that while
the improvement realized everywhere
in the character of domestic fowls has
been immensely advanced, the farm
ers have reaped an extern ded benefit
all over the country, through their
ability in these later days to increase
their poultry products aud the quail
ty for common consumption.

Secretary Gray's Letter to Hon. John Kelly,

We are permitted to publish the fol-
lowing letter from Hon. Alfred Gray
to Hon. John Kelly, the President of
the Board OF Agriculture, setting forth
Secretary Gray's reasons for forward
Ing his resignation as Commissioner
to the Paris Exposition:
TOPEKA, KANs., April 10, 1873.
Hon John Kelly, President cftbe State Beard ef
Agriculture, Wichita, Kansas:
DEAR SIR:-I have resigned as Com
missioner to the Internal Exhibition
to be held at Paris.
To perform the duties to which l
have been assigned as such commits
sioner would require me to reach
Paris about May 1st, remain there
from three to four months, and then
"report on agricultural subjects not
later than January LIST, 1879" To do
this would seriously delay the work
of this Board. The biennial report
would have to be delayed as many
months as would be occupied in such
other work.
The State has expended nearly S40,-
900 on account of the Centennial Ex-
position, purely as business invest
to direct the attention OF immigration
to our products, limitless agricultural
resources, cheap homes, etc. Inform
alton widely disseminated by virtue of
the State exhibit at Philadelphia, and
our statistical exhibits, has converted
this Office into an immense Immigra-
ton Bureau. The work has more
than doubled since the commencement
of the year, and is daily increasing.
Saying nothing about the revision of
maps for the State and the seventy
counties, and the compilation Of the
Biennial Report for 1S77-s, which will
contain between five and six hundred
pages, the ordinary work of the Office
is more than the clerical force is equal
to. immigration to the State is SO ex-
traordinary that it surprises even me,
with all my sanguine expectations of
of the good results incident the work
named.
Unless the State Centennial Exhib-
ition shall be supplemented by per-
forming with promptness and fidelity
the work it has melted, anticipated
results will not accrue.
| deeply regret the necessity for the
determination to which | have come,
for believe could be of some service
and could reach sources of information
which would be of value to the State
in our work hereafter, but [ do not
think that would be justified, with
the limited clerical fund at our com
snand, to delay or neglect the work at
this post of duty. 1t would take my
best thoughts and energies from the
time of leaving for Paris to the close
of the year to fulfil reasonable expec-
tations. The accumulation of work
here during all this period would
necessitate a mental and physical
strain to which feel / am unequal in
IN my present state of health.
Thanking you and the Board for
many kindly expressions in favor of
my going, but believing that under
existing circumstances, you will con-
cur with me in the conclusion TO which
! have come, L remain yours very
truly, ALFRED GRAY.

What the Grange Has Dele.

A political paper of Georgia thu!
speaks of what the Patrons of Hus
bandry have accomplished for the ben
eft of the people of that State and
North Carolina
In all this land we are to-day expe.
riencing the good results of the grand
agricultural movement which began
five years ago and crystalized into the
order of the Patrons of Husbandry
The bountiful harvest of 1877, the &C.
reals that fill our barns almost to over
flowing, the cheapness of food for man
and beast, the plenty which abounds
in the rural districts, the unprecedent-
ed interest taken in agricultural m at
tiers by the government, by the press
and by the people generally, and the
mighty revival now going on in the
farming element, may be traced more
or less directly to tho agency, the
teachings and the example of the
grange. AS q school of instruction TO
the farmers, rendering them more con-
versant with the laws of supply and
demand cost OF production and regu-
ulation of trade, the grange has been
of much benefit. 1t has accomplished
much towards restoring good feeling
between the masses of the existing
political parties in North Carolina.
In Q word, it has done vast deal
more than we could possibly mention
within the brief space of this article,
to improve the condition of the farm
ers, its greatest work being the estab-
lishment of the Department of Agri-
culture, which owes it its origin to
the State Grange, it having adopted
at its annual meeting in Goldsboro
last year resolutions recommending
the general assembly TO organize such
q department. That work entities it
to the lasting gratitude of the people
of the whole State.
