Agricultural Experiment.

Mr.. EDITOR: My object in pre-
senting the above named experiment,
through the leading newspapers of
this section, is intended for those
farmers who, like myself, have poor
farms. In Grassy Valley, Knox
county, eight miles north of Knox
vile, I drilled one and half. acres
of wheat, last fall, using one sack
of fertilizer of two hundred pounds
on said amount of land, which would
make an average of one hundred
and thirty-two and two third pounds
to the acre. Said sack of fertilizer
cost me four dollars and ffty-fye
cents, which includes manufacturer
price, freight added. / then meas
ured an equal amount of ground,
by the side of the drilled and ferti-
liked, of average soil-the soil
originally poor, inclined to slate. 1t
is the farm where my father settled
/ IN 1870. Some part of the land
has not been MANFRED for twenty
years. I sowed the latter broad
cast about the same time. [ har-
vested each strictly to itself and
threshed each separately. The
drilled and fertilized made thir-
| ty and a half bushels struck
measure, from the threshing ma
chine. The broad cast made nine
teen bushels, difference of eleven
and half bushels, by measure. |
was then impressed to test the
quality or grade of the wheat by
weight, this being the standard Of
the country when grain is placed
on her markets. The drilled and
fertilized wheat weighed sixty-six
pounds per bushel, the broadcast
sixty.four, all struck measure.
The fertilized made by weight las
already shown by the gain1 thirty
three bushels and thirty-three
pounds, the broadcast twenty
bushels and sixteen pounds, making
a difference of thirteen bushels and
seventeen pounds in favor of the
drilled and fertilized. A prime
grade of wheat, such as l have
raised this season, will command on
our market at this time about ninety
cents per bushel figuring on g
basis of ninety cents per bushel,
it will require 5 bushels and z
pounds of wheat to meet the cost OF
the fertilizer used by me, leaving q
net balance of eight bushels an(
thirteen pounds by weight, after al
expenses have been duly paid.
l have been solicited frequently
by the farmers of this community
: to have this experiment published
so that those interested may b
4 profted thereby.

speeches were made to the mob by the
most Influential citizens who were OPP

agreed to spare his life If be would

his feelings under the circumstance

be the best friends to US, just because
Henry would run Independence of the

The Democratic papers have been
striving to make it appear that the
mob that waited on the murdered
Dixon only wanted to compel him
to withdraw from the canvass, and
that the shooting was a personal
matter altogether. The wife Of
1.-The bravests of the. brave, a few
days after the first demonstration,
wrote to friend letter which will
show the weakness of the effort.
After speaking of the illness of her
baby, she said:
"But my heaviest trouble, to which
the burial of all my little ones would
be nothing is about Henry. Ar
armed mob of 500 men, from all parts
of the county, came after him Friday
last, and at first ordered him to leave

THE latest news from the Oneida
Community shows thatthe threats of
criminal prosecution made by some
leading churchmen and church
leaders of New York against the
communists has had a good effect. AS
is generally known the Oneida Com
munity is religious order having
all things in common, even their
wives. This loose, immoral prao-
tice of theirs has been a blotoh upon
New York as great as that of the
Mormons on the whole United
States. Up to this time they have
resisted every effort of their oppo-
nents to break down the practice.
1t has been impossible to obtain any
legal evidence of their crimes, and
thus have kept on growing in mum
bers and wealth. Leaving out their
free-love notions they were desira-
bic citizens, being energetic, pru-
dent business men and women, and
obeying the laws.
A few months since, number of
high functionaries of the several
Churches held meeting to devise
means to run them out Of the coun-
try. Their plans were well laid,
and the end has shown them pro-
ductive of good.
The leader of the Community,
Father j. II. Noyes, graduate el
one of the Eastern colleges, and
who was educated for the ministry
is a man whose judgment is clear
and he saw that some concession
must be made to public opinion O.
the institution be destroyed. Ac-
tuated by this spirit, he held a con-
Sultation with his son, also one o
their leaders, and the result Of thi
was a communication to the Com
munity, advising that in the futur
there should be no moro compile:
marriages, but that the communisr
in goods should be kept in. TIL
instrument, which was adopted b
the congregation. declares that
shall be divided into tw
classes, the married class and th
celibate class, giving preference
the latter. The leaders again'
free-love promise that the peopl
living near shall treat them wit
kindness and afford them protection
For some time there have bee
two factions in the community, tt
one desiring to abide by their o.
customs and the other desiring a
adjustment of the system of con
pick marriages, believing that
worked them harm intellectual
morally, and physically. AS
matter, Of course, the latter par
is overjoyed at the course matte
have taken. esr
The State of New York is to
congratulated at theremoval of tn
scandal from its soil, and the pc
pie Of the whole Union shou
profit by their example, and wea
not in we'll doing, until t
mass of corruption infectil
Utah is entirely eradicated.
