MYSTERIOUs MURDER.
Two Swedes Held Up and Robbed by
One Man. .I

Two Swedes Held Up and Robbed by
One Man. 81
The information OF the probable mur.
der of two wsod-hawks on the Upper
Missouri has just been received. About
Nov. 1st two brothers named Anderson
started in skiff from Joe Lanning's wood
yard, below Strawberry Island, since
which time nothing has been heard of
them. They had just sold cut their wood
yard to Lanning; had been engaged in
threshlng for him, and known to have
had abont $1,000 between them when
they stated. Prior to this man known
as Mat, who had been working for Bob
Mathews further up the river, made his
appearance and asked permission to go
down the river with the Swedes. Consent
was given and the three started of. Only
one Of them has turned up. Early one
morning man walked into the mail
ranch at the Slides and asked the loan of
a horse to take him to Berthold. Being
informed that strangers could not borrow
horses, lie asked if one could be bought
Sixty five dollars was agreed upon and the
man took the money from a large roll
which he had. Arriving at Stevenson he
put UP his horse, stayed over night and
skipped. Nothing since has been heard
of him. As he was known to have had
but little money when he left Mathews,
and as the two Swedes have not since
been heard from, it is more than likely
that foul play has been practiced, and
that Mat is the murderer Of the two hos
pitable wood-hawks. He wore coat and
hat which were recognized as formerly
belonging to enc of the Swedes.

| If there is any one thing that should be

tivation of "home talent" The citizens
of Bismarck, by their attendance at the
play last evening, sisnlfied their. sympa.
thy in this matter, and took decisive
step in the direction of the advancement
and disclosure of the slumberlng genius
known to exist in this city. With proper
encouragement, entertainments of various
natures, concerts, ETC., superior to almost
any travelling institution, can be gotten

the oft repeated question Of 'How shall

satisfactorily answered There is moth
ing which so adds to the attractive ness
and makes q city SO desirable a place to
live in as the ability of its people to en-
joy themselves and please others. There
have been several entertai nments given
III this city by the young people, but the
one last evening was the first one which
has been properly appreciated. 1t Is to
be hoped that the citizens have finally
awakened from the stupor they seem to
have been in for the past few years, and

A School Of Forestry.

AT recent meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of the City of St. Paul,
Mimi, an elaborate report was submit
ted setting forth the necessity in this
country of an institution of this charac-
ter. The popular ignorance prevalent
as to the worth of our Understands, as
we'll as the disastrous consequences at
tending the present wanton destruction
of the forests of the country, tend to
make the movement for the establish
ment of school of forestry both timely
and important. Such schools, it may
not be generally known, are in flourish
ing existence in Europe, and are now
regarded no longer as experiments, but
have proved themselves to be of i'm
mense public utility. Through them
has come an impulse to the growing of
timber on waste lands, as well as a
more economical management of forests,
sufficient to vindicate the economy of
their foundation.
These schools are found in Neustadt-
Eberswalde, near Berlin; at Tharaudt,
in the vicinity of Dresden; at Eisenach,
Stockholm, Zurich, Aschaffenberg, and
other places; and the testimony, after
years of practical working, is that
through their influence forests have
been grown upon once barren and
sterile lands, while systematic efforts
have been successfully made for the
preservation of woodlands or the re-
growth of timber where once cut of.
The instruction furnished in these
schools embraces mathematics, pure
and mixed, SO that, according to the
report in question, "the forester may
reckon interest on capital invested, de-
termine the value of q given piece of
forest-land, measure distances, compute
the cubic contents of group of trees,
and ascertain the average annual in
crease of the same by growth" Fur
thermore, the course of study includes
physics, chemistry, physiology, the nat
ural sciences, with particular attention
to ornithology and entomology, to

which may be added civil and criminal
law in its bearings on forestry and On,

ton of the latter. Besides the above,
instruction is given in forest history.
wood planting, protection of timber
lands, methods of fostering the growth
of trees, and their general uses.
Such school in this country, with its
full yet practical curriculum of study,
world furnish us with men who as ex-
aminers and managers of our forests
would be of great value; and through
such the timber interests of the North
west, and the various mechanical and
industrial pursuits depending thereon,
could be protected and promoted.
The public need of an institution of
this kind no one will deny who knows
aught about our forests, or of their
reckless destruction, entailing wide
reaching damage. According to the
estimate of the United States Surveyor
General, there are in Northern Mime
sofa alone thirteen millions of acres I'M
surveyed. The Government has been
robbed of millions of acres of timber
land, as the report of the Commissioner
of the Land Office declares, by "the
fraudulent use of Homestead laws, sol
diers' additional homestead and half
breed scrip" Whole townships, once
covered with luxurious pine forests,
have been entirely denuded of the same.
and are now unoccupied wastes. Some
thing should be done to arrest at once
this wanton destruction of our Northern
forests, and efforts made to diffuse a
more correct sentiment in reference to
their worth, and how they may be eco
nomically consumed, or, where already
destroyed, be reproduced. The present
Secretary of the Interior, in his report
for 1873, says: 1.-The disastrous conse-
quences which always follow the
destruction of the forests of a
country are known TO every we'll
informed man. These consequences
will inevitably come upon us in COM
paratively short time, considering the
rapidity with which the timber growth
of this country is being swept away,
unless legislation be adopted systemat-
ically to arrest this indiscriminate spoil
iation." To no county would school
of forestry be of greater utility than to
ours, while European experience in the
premises is sufficient to show us the
economical advantages of the same.
Such a school would become bureau
of information in reference to the cul-
ture of forests and their sanitary and
material benefits. 1t would supply us
men competent to explore them and re-
port the best methods of preserving or
regrowing them.
Our timber-lands may be so cared for
as to become sources of permanent sup
ply, and not, as by present practice, be
reduced to desert wastes. From such
a school would naturally come those
forestry would make them available to
railroad and lumber companies and
those industries dependent upon the
use of wood.-Rev. NJ NJ. G. Dana, in

Preserve the Fertility Of the Soil.

How MUCH individual poverty has
been caused by excessive cropping and
a total neglect, or an inadequate appli-
cation of manureS? writes the author of
American Manures. That this state of
things has in great measure been
caused by ignorance we charitably adj
nit; but whatever be the cause of the
evil the effect is the same.
In this vital principle of true and sue
cessful farming sustaining fertility by
sufficient manuring, we are as Nation,
shamefully ignorant and criminally neg
ligent. In this matter many of our
farmers seem totally Indifferent, either
to precept or example; and the work of
deterioration is still going on Ito great
extent) unchecked and unheeded in all
parts of the country, while the very SUBJ
stances that would prevent and avert
this great National evil, are allowed to
60 to waste everywhere. Farmers often
permit their stable manure to lie for
months exposed to the influence of the
weather, thus losing the most valuable
part of it, namely the ammonia and the
solvable salts that are dissolved and
washed away by rain. Whereas all
such substances should be stored under
cover, SO that certain amonnt of fer
mentatiOn may be produced, thus pre-
pairing them as an active manure when
needed. All the waste material of the
farm should thus be prepared. An &C
curate knowledge Of the value of these
waste products, as representing grass,
butter, corn, beef and bread and the
other necessaries of life, will naturally
lead to economy in saving those ma
terials.
When the farmer is fully informed on
these subjects, he can realize the COM
mercial value of those elements of fer
tility that are yearly removed from his
land in the various forms of the produce
that is sent to market; and. also, if he
does not add anything to the soil in the
shape of manure. and only realizes a
bare living for his labor, he can see how
much poorer he is becoming every year.
A thorough knowledge and apprecia-
ton of these things will at once con-
vince the farmer that it is impossible for
him to preserve the fertility of the soil
unimpaired, even by the most econom-
ical and judicious saving and application
of all the waste substances produced on
the farm; that the portion of this pro-
duce which is removed from the farm in
the shape of cattle and grain and other
produce is q constant drain on the valu-
able elements of fertility that should
finally give his land a value; and
that if he wishes to preserve its average
productiveness or improve it, he must
return an equivalent in some cheaper
form.
To meet this want, concentrated ma
nures and superphosphate of lime are
prepared, and the farmer finds in them
the most convenient means at his COM
mand to supply the wants of his land. -
