Grist or Toll =?

We copy the following paraphrasC
of one of Watts Hymns from the
american Miller. If the author had
used one of j. A. Field, Son e. Co.'S
Big Giant Feed mills, and made all
his chop at home he would have
been spared the necessity of making
such unkind inuendoes about toll:
Teach me the measure of thy grist,
Thou maker of my meal,
i would survey what have missed
And learn how millcrs deal.
See the vile miller lifts the pole,
The mill begins to crawl,
He keeps the grist, sends home the toll,
And tells the boy that's all.
What can ] look or hope for, then,
From miller's meal and dust,
Who keeps portion of my grain
And dsappoints my trust.
Now all such millers I'll forsake,
My empty bags recall,
And give my custom to such men
As send me back my all.

THE State Agricultural Society's
next annual exhibition bids fair to
rival the Centennial" itself, and will
certainly be the largest and most
comprehensive ever held by any
State Society. We have already al
luded to the International Sheep and
Wool Show which will be held in
connection with it, and now we learn
that the State Dairymen's Associa.
tion has joined hands and has placed
its exhibition and premium list under
the control of the Agricultural Soci-
ETY.. This list includes prizes for
foreign as well as domestic dairy
products, and. will thus have the
character of an international exhibit
ton, in company with the Sheep
Show. There seems to be disposi-
tion on the part of all concerned to
make this occasion q red-letter day in
Pennsylvania agriculture, and we
cannot do less than wish those upon
whose shoulders the great labor and
responsibility must rest-the officers
of the State Agricultural Society
abundant success.
In this connection, the DEMOCRAT
suggests that the State Fruit Grow
ers' Association, the State Board of
Agriculture, the State Grange and
the State College all join in the good
work, and unite in making such an
exhibition of the ''landcultural" in
terests and capabilities of Pennsyl-
vania as has never yet been seen in
this country.

Sweet Corn Fodder.
eat lreat
he American Agricultural

From the American AsricuIturtst
A trial of several varieties Of sweet
corn for fodder for milk cows the past
season has resulted very successfully.
Many good farmers have for years
past considered sweet corn fodder to
be worth more than that from field
corn. The large quantity of sugar
contained in sweet corn makes IL nu-
nutritious food, sugar being as much a
nutriment as starch-indeed, it is
strongly believed by some physiolo-
gists that the starch of food is chang
ed In great part to sugar during diges-
tion and before assimilation. But it
will be found in practice that the
most valuable fodder is that which is
grown so widely apart that the juices
of the stalks are matured and the
cars are considerably developed be-
fore the crop is cut. Small early va
rieties, planted in May and after.
ward, may be gathered in July and
August; and the medium late varie-
ties, such as the Triumph, will come
in August and September, while the
late Evergreen will last until frost
stops the growth.

In five years after he fixed his stables
so as to save his liquid manure he
had doubled the products of his
farm. The greatest waste Of agricul-

of the liquid excrement OF cattle. It

and most interesting of the series, occu.
pying no less than twenty.eight pages OF
the magazine, and enriched by some
thirty of the beautiful wood. cut illustra-
tions for which Scribner's has become so
justly celebrated. In this number Mr..
Roe treats of Raspberries, Black berries,
Currants and Gooseberries and gives
practical hints as TO picking and mar.

worth the price of the magazine.

for the saddler, and in the pre- para
tions which every good farmer is now
making, If he has not already COM
pleted them, for the activities of the

and every facility provided which
will tend to relieve the hurry and

acres of smooth ground to NOW
should own some one of the many
good mowers that are to be found

ing machine, like the tedder, will be
found profitable only under excep
tional circumstances, and on farms
where larger quantities of hay oil

work, which will continue, for many
years at least, to be done by hand

A BRUTAL MURDER.
Ju.. aud speedy Rs,rlsu,,ou.

CuARLEsroS. S. c.. December H.
Mrs. Kennedy was murdered on Sunday
by three negroes in Clarendon county.
The object was robbery. When Mr..
Kennedy returned some three hours
afterwards, he found his wife lying out
side the front gate. mutilated, cold u
stiff. Her bead was almost cut in two.
and the entire Uranium was cut oil from
ear to ear, leaving the brains scattered
around tho grsund. Several colored
persons were arrested on Monday, but
NO clue to their guilt being obtained,
they were promptly released. On
Tuesday q colored boy-Jos Barnes
was arrested. He showed SO much con
fusion on being Questioned as to his
whereabouts on Sunday that only q
few questions served to bring out
his full confession. He declared that
q negro named Vance and Q woman
named Julia were concerned In the
crime. They denied having anything to
do with il, but the clothes which they
wore on Sunday were very bloody. With
small particles Of brain upon them. The
money and pistol OF dy, found Ia
their possession. were bloody. and upon
being questioned about the blood upon
their clothes, the woman said she had
killed q chicken and the man said he had
killed some partridges. On examination
the bloody finger. prints on q hoe-hsndle
correspondsd precisely with those on the
shawl worn by the woman on the day Of
the murder. which circumstances had al
great weight to convict her as the testi'
mony OF the boy. The horrible character
of the murder awakened intense indigna
ton in the neighborhood. and a CROWD
Of $50 white men and fifty colored mel
assembled to punish the murderers. Fur
ther examination established the truth o.
the confession OF Barnes. The negroes
begged the whites to permit them to tax
the prisoners aud bury them alive. Thi'
was refused. but q vote was takel
whether they should DO jailed and avail
the court or be lypched. Only twenty
three voted to await the Law and 1t wal
determined to hang them to the tre'
nearest the scene OF the crime. Halter
were obtained aud fastened to the liml
Of a tree, a cart was placed under th'
limb, and the prisoners were ordered u
mount the cart. just then Joe Barne'
begged to be allowed to pray. and com
mrnced by saying be had never prayed
before and never expected to again
Nothing was said by either OF the other
except a groan and Lord have mercy
from Vance. Handkerchiefs being tie'
over their faces. the cart was pushed
away and the three men danslsd in tn
