THE EnPoalA MORTAL SCHOOL.

Since the announcement of the d. stiuc
ton of the State Normal school at Empo-
ria, ~ fre, there has been much inquiry as
to the cost OF the building. dc. We have
taken some pains to ascertain the ccst and
the figures We give teiow may be considered

school house in the interest of tie Green
back cause. The Governor said it would
take one hundred years to reconstrucf the
country, and compared the present recon-
struction with Heaven and He'll all mixed
up together. He ca led the Democrats en-
emies OF the country, and went for that
party with all the force OF his Anthony na-
ture. His ideas differed materially from
Bro. Jaquin's about the..unity of the Repub-
lican and Democratic party. He he'd up
the Bible in o-e lind, and tie bloody shirt
in the other; as political speaker, although
a man Of rare ability, he is not success,
on account OF his wild flights of oratory
which are founded more by fancy than res-
son. He was doubtless told to give the
Democracy hi and he did his best to fill
the bill, but as that party is small and con-
fined entirely to few good natured gentle
men living on Grant Creek, We think there
was large amount OF wasted ammunition.

Field Meetings are Bene fetal.

IBOsIOu IIdEtIItI, -V.I
One evidence Of progress In agriculture Is
field meetings, says a contemporary. One
significant advantage of these out-of-door
meetings, he continues to say, is that the
speakers at the conferences are farmers.
This is healthy indication, and showspro
gress over years past, when this work was
invariably delegated to professional public
speakers, very often TO political hacks and
demagogues, who eagerly sought every such
occasion to further their own selfish inter-
ests. All honor to the men and means that
have aided in bringing about this encour-
aging result-that have been remotely or
directly instrumental in ushering in the era
OF thought and investigation.

To Preveu, Cholera in Poultry.

lPrhIrle dIIIItlf VI
To prevent this disease, supply Of good
clean sand and gravel should always be ac-
cessible to them. The water they drink
should be in an iron vessel, or quantity Of
rusty nails should be kept constantly in it.
OF course TIE water should be pure and re-
newed every day. Before adopting this
course, so-caIled cholera took one-half the
flock, but nov it never makes an attack,
even under circumstances more unfsvorxble
than formerly.

Good Fall Feed.

A good dairyman gives his experience
that bran is an excellent food for cows at
any time when extra food is required. He
has generally been able to get from it more
milk than from an equal cost of any other
ground feed. 1t is better suited to warm
weather than meal. As the weather be-
comes cool, if COWS are at all thin, meal
may be proftably added. At any rate he
advises that feed enough of some kind
should be given TO keep up both milk and
strength all the fall. One of the worst er-
rors a dairyman ever commits is TO let
COW 60 into winter quarters dropping.

The Kind Of Hogs that Sell.


Hogs in good condition outsell heavy
ones. They really ought to bring more

this is true, it is as true that the diff

Dare the Riel, Die?

Montreal Horald.I
Under this caption some Of the
New York papers are not discussing,
as it might be supposed, q theological
problem, based on the text about the
rich man, the camel and the eve of
the needle but rather the apprellen-
sion which a wealthy moribund must
have of the legal plumber of his real
estate. And it is certainly a matter
which cannot but disturb those re-
Elections which men are supposed to
make as to the proper settlement of
their worldly affairs, that their settle
ments are pretty certain to be unset
tied, if the amount at stake only
makes it worth while. In New York
the more successful a man has been in
making provision for the family which
is to survive him, the more certain it
seems to be that a profession which
we cannot quite do without, and which
it is dangerous to have anything to do
with, will find some way to plumber
the property. The suits about the
Vanderbilt win and the Stewart will
are cases in point. Whoever wins or
loses, it is go sure that the lawyers will
take a large share Of the money that
it begins to be understood that suits
will surely grow up where there is any
soil, just as imperceptible germs spring
into MOSES, if there is the slightest
seed bed for them to repose on. A
lawyer engaged in a branch of the
Stewart affair recently affirmed the
negative to the question at the head
of these lines. Why, sir" said he,
"it has come to be so that a rich man
hardly dare die. AS | stand here,
with all my present hopes and future
prospects-and | have a vote here and
every dollar | have in the wide world
is here in New YQrk0AI have In the
will | have prepared declared my res
idence not to be in this city and coun-
try" The inference is against the
chance of having any justice with
city juries, f1F it is befqFe iaries that
these cases are most absurdly tried.
We fear, however, that the rural co.,
leagues Of the indignant advocate are
not much Inferior Ia tholF city can
tfefes III tho capacity fhF having what
the same gentlemen called & hack at
estates; and, that even if they were,
the city gentlemen would find their
way into the country courts.
