4 CIR US1DE on CROPS.

Advice from Farmer on q Subject
Of Equal Interest with the Guano
Question.
1lessrs. Editors. take it for grant
cd that our farmers have determined
to rid themselves of phosphatcs, and
manufacture, as they can, better
article Of fertilizer at home at
much less cost. If any one doubts this
let him cxpcnd the amount disbursed
in phosphates in the hire ofhands with
mules and carts to haul litter from Lis
woods and swamps, and he will be
convinced. But 1 did not start out to
write of phospbates, but Of another
nuisance Of which we can rid ourselves
with little effort and small outlay. I
alludc to the.crows. OF all the pests
known to the farmer, excepting only
"phosphatc cormorants," the crow
stands ut the head Of tho list. Bold,
active, and ever vigilant of opportuni-
tics to steal, he is no uniting prototype
of his congcncr Of sable hue, and has
prc-cmincntly established all the re-
quisites which were necessary to dis
place the eagle as the bird of America,
and is now all the ragc-as fashion
folks say-as the national emblem.
Notwithstanding the high position
lately taken by the crow, 1 am in
favor of getting rid Of him, or at least
of lessening his numbers, and think
that any observant man who has of
late noticed the oat-fields will agrco
with me III thinking that his services
as an insect destroyer are but poor
compensation for hisgrain destruction.
L have examined the stomachs of scver-
al and have always found grain of
some kind, although do not doubt
that naturalists have found insects-in
places where it was impossible to OBJ
tain grain. In fact, | would not be
surprised to find anything in the giz-
zard OF crow, for it has genius for
adapting its stomach to the reception
OF almost anything, including eggs,
young chickens, BIRDS nests, ETC.,
provided there is neither corn nor oats
for it to pull up. But to his destruc-
tlon.-Procurc n vial Of strychnine,
which costs from seventy-ffvc cents to
| oho uoiial' IuhC i)UuI OllC-lOuICn inc
quantity in the vial (usual sizc) and
put it i'll about pint Of water, adding
four Oh five drops Of muriatic acid,
which causesit to dissolve Immediately.
Thcp, having placed about quart Of
corn in glass fruit jar, pour over the
mixturc-which should cover the
corn, and soak for twenty hours.
Flace the corn in some open folds fro
quentcd by the crows, and your work
is done. On Friday morning, 1 put
out about quart Of corn thus pre-
pared, in an oat-feld where was
troubled by these pests, and in short
time picked UP siTteeN in the immedi-
ate vicinity (Which were added to my
compost pile), and saw many more
leaving in decidedly nervous flight.
; Concert of action is needed here us
we'll as against the phosphates. To
the rescue, brother clod-hoppersi A
few crows missed from each plantation
will add thousands Of bushels of corn
to tho crop Of the county, and still
leave crows enough for insect purpos.

Our FIRE DEPARTMENTAL the
regular monthly meeting Of the Fair
field Fire Engine Company, held last
Friday night, resolution of some
Importance to the fire department
and the town was adopted. One of
the great difficulties experienced by
this company has been in paying its
necessary expenses. For a time, the
Town Council appropriated month
ly sum to the company, but, owing to
the embarrassed finances Of the town,
it was found necessary to cut Off this
appropriation. At the meeting of the
Fire Company on Friday night a
resolution was introduced memorial
iZing Council to renew the appropria-
ton formerly made to the organiza-
ton. An amendment was then
offered, which asks that tho cxemp-
ton Of tircmcn from the payment of
the street tax be discontinued, and
that Council appropriate to the fire
companies funds sufficient to enable
them to keep their apparatus in good
order and pay all necessary expenses.
The resolution will be presented at
tho next meeting Of Council.

of criminal proceedings against any Of tho
witnesses who have figured in the case.
The Eastern Question.

Apparently the present anxiety OF the
Russians in Turkey is to get away. They
have made their defnitive treaty, have all
their relations with their late enemy we'll
understood, have put the Christian popula-
tions north of the Balkan out of the domin-
ion of the Moslem and those to the south
in greatly ameliorated position, and are
eager, perhaps, to see how the machinery
that they have put in motion will op-
crate when they are gone. But there
already appears on the scene the initiation
of the proceedings that are to force the Sec
ond stage of the solution of the Eastern
question-Who shall be dominant in the
east of Europe? What shall be the fate of
the Continental parts of the Ottoman EN-.
pire? and who shall rule the people of those
countries? These are the points of the
Eastern question. And the first doubt
that was to be determined was set
tied in the late war by the col
lapse of the Turkish resistance. It
cannot be the Ottoman, because he is beaten
out and is beyond revival, and if not him
not England, because England could act
there only through him. Shall it be Russia
or Austria? That is the next point in the
problem. England moved Austria's posses.
sion of Bosnia with deliberate purpose to
put a spoke in Russia's wheel; and there
are already appearances that sort of moral
collision is already in progress. Out of
that will grow the passions and rivalries
that will produce the next forcible solution.

Impeachment i'm France.

Apparently the committee charged with
the duty of inquiring into the acts of those
two ministries chosen by Marshal Mac
fight the republican party in his famous
struggle of 1877 does not mean that the
theme of that investigation shall die away
quietly and without an echo. 1t will be re-
membered that Marshal MacMahon, under
the excitement of public agitation stirred
denly dismissed with insulting circum-
stances the republican Ministry of which
Jules Simon was the head, and chose q
Ministry from the Right in defiance of the
principle Of government by the majority.
This was tho De Broglie Ministry, which
don. but which was succeeded by another
of the same character, which, it was
thought, would be less obnoxious because
it's members were less conspicuous party
men. Finally came the dissolution and
the return of an Overwhelming republican
early acts of the new Chamber was to ap-
point q committee to investigate the acts of
those two ministries of the gouoe7nnent de
combat, and this is the committee that now
proposes to recommend impeachment
People will be able to judge fully of the
propriety of this course only when &C
auainted with the facts the committee dis
covered. It has been thought that the
process of impeachment would be now q
source of injurious and needless excite
ment; but the committees persistency
must necessarily be based on clear
knowledge of important facts.
The New York herald., 1879-03-09
An "Artistic- squabble.

A week ago we pointed out to the men,
bers of the Society of American Artists the
danger they would run by policy of artis-
tic exclusiveness. That the warning we
then gave was needed is shown by the petty
squabble between the Hanging Committee
and some artists whose pictures have been
refused or badly hung. Absurd as it may
seem, the most indignant of these offended
members of the society, after resigning in
i'll advised and hot haste because his large
canvas was rejected, was permitted to take
from the walls, after the hanging of the
gallery was completed, smaller picture.
Another member, more temperate, who
grumbled because his most important pic
ture was sent home, did not resign, but on
request was allowed to carry away one
of his two other pictures which were
given place in the gallery, because it was
hung too high. Finally the remonstrances
of q third discontented one, who intends to
resign, had such an effect on the Hanging
Committee that they allowed him also to take
a picture away. Now, this is all child's play,
and is not worthy of sensible men and true
artists Either the Hanging Committee have
the power to accept and hang as they think
best such pictures as members or non-mem-
bers send in or they have not. If not, what
are they elected for? In either case, after the
pictures are hung it is ludicrous and un-
dignifed proceeding for members to at
tempt or the society to allow them to with
draw their pictures. It is, however, gen.
orally understood that members of society
have more claims on Hanging Committee
than outsiders. Such should not be the

Una u thorixed Unloading.

When q man has property for which he
has paid or is expected to pay his exclusive
right to unload the same must be conceded,
no matter whether he operates with shovels
or kilograms. Mr.. James r. Keene, the
well known operator in wheat, has there
fore the sympathy of the public in his in
dignation at the rascally liberty that
was taken with his name on Thursday
night The despatch purporting to be from
Mr.. Keene, and ordering the sale of any
quantity of wheat at Chicago, even IL IL
had failed to work any of the mischief
which it temporarily occasioned, was as un-
pardonablo an outrage as the theft of Mr..
Keene's pocketbook or private accounts
would have been, for, although the aggrieved
gentleman has lost nothing but his temper
by the operation, the rogue or rogues who
managed the swindle did whatever busi-
ness they accomplished solely upon the
name and reputation Of the man whose sigma
ture they used. II the perpetrators of the
fraud should be detected no punishment
will seem to the public to be too severe, for
the telegraph is an instrument which can be
used to the injury of almost any person or
business, tho only preventive of swindling
or malice being the fear Of consequences.

An English Judgment.

An important decision was made by an
English Judge in o recent case tried at Liver
pool, on point that may be the same in law
on both sides of the Atlantic, and if SO is OF
interest to the public and to the police of
this city. Sewell, policeman, was shot
dead in the street by man named Carey.

on the charge of murder, but under the
ruling made by the Judge it was clear that
the shooting was not murder and the.pris-
oner escaped conviction for capital
offence and was held guilty of man.
slaughter. The circumstances of the
homicide were these:-The policeman met
the culprit in the street and demanded to
know the contents of bundle the prisoner
had with him. But the prisoner refused to
satisfy him, and when the policeman tried
forcibly to examine the bundle, the other
drew revolver, exclaimed ''Take thatr and
fred the fatal shot. The Judge held that
the officer was not justified in laying hands
on the prisoner, and was, therefore, en-
gagged in an illegal act when he was shot,
and he directed the jury "that the pris-
oncr could not be convicted on the capital
charge" As it appears to be standing
order that the police in this city shall stop
every man they meet at night with bun
die, and rs that is one of their principal
duties, this judgment on q case growing
out Of O similar activity may interest them.
