Secret OF Large Crops.

One of the strong points in English
farming was recently emphasized as
follows by Prof. Roberts of Cornell
University: "Herein," saws he, Il
am satisfied, lies the secret of En-
gland success in raising larger crops.
1t would take away the breath OF a
prairie farmer to hear even an En-
glishman's enumeration of the .spud-
dings, the grub ngs,' the witch
inSs.' the borrowings, the cross-har-
rowings. the roilings and crushings,
that a heavy clay field is sub ected to
before it is considered ready for wheat.
What is this all for? Simply to unlock
the full stOre-house of nature. That it
IS ful. has been proven time and again.
BY actual analysis it is found that an
average soil contains. in the first six
inches. plant food enough for from fifty
to one hundred and fifty full crops OF
grain. l do not desire to discourage
the purchase and use of fertilizers. but
what l do protest against is, purchas-
ing on time commercial manures at
forty dollars per ton. which are really
worth only twenty-five, to enrich
cloddy helds already fairly rich in plant
food, locked up, it is true, but there,
none the less, only waiting q little

Jonas Haywood murdered man at
Monongabela, Pa, and fled. His dis
guise was so perfect that he could not be
recognized from the printed description
of him sent to the police throughout the
country; but two words in that docu-
ment, "He suffers" were fatal to his
chance of a permanent escape. De-
tectives kept their ears open for slut
terer, arrested several innocent ones,
and finally caught Haywood.

"A spirited and fastidious Ottawa
girl declined to be married, though the
guests were assembled and the BRIDE
groom in waiting, because the train OF
her dress did not hang properly. Ex-
postulation was in vain. She said that
she had put great amount OF thought
and money into the garment, and it
would be lifelong sorrow to her if she
wore it when conscious that it was not q
success. The wedding was postponed a
week.

What Is Behind IL?

DIR. David Kennedy, of ROndout. N. Y,
proprietor of the great medicine called
"FavOrite Remedy" would have but lit
tie confidence to recommend the public
to buy and use it if his own name were
not behind it. But the fact that he had
staked his reputation upon it ought to be,
and is, better than thousand cheap GER
tiicates-in the opinion of the people.
If you are sick with any complaint of
the Blood, Kfdneys,or Liver, invest one
dollar in the 'FavOrite Remedy" and it
will speak for itself.

DON'T LET THEM BURY WE DEEP.

tit will interest readers to know thai
this touching poem Is founded upon al

tanned some publicity through the news

Lift me bit In my bed, father;
Press your warm lips to my cheek,
Put your arm under my head, father
am 80 tired and 30 weak.
cannot stay long awake now
Many night shall sleep.
Promise one thing for my sake, now
Don't let them bury Inc deep!
Cover my bed with sweet flowers, father,
Those love 80 well to see,
So, in the long lonely hours, father,
They'll be companions for me.
II should wake in the night then,
Their lips my sad face would sweep:
Make my grave cheerful and bright, then
Don't let them bury me deep!
When to the church you all go, father,
At the sweet Sabbath BELLS tone,
shall be dreary, you know, father,
Lying out there all alone.
Hang my bird near in tree, then
Watch over me he will keep;
He will sing sweet hymns to me, then
Don't let them bury me deep!
Call on me whene'er you pass father,
Where by your side oft ran;
Put your face down On the grass, father,
Near to my own as you can.
II could look up and hear you,
Into your arms would creep;
Let me sometimes nestle near you
Don't let them bury me deep!
Look! who has come for me now, father,
Standing 30 near to my bed?
Some one Is kissing my brow, father
Mamma, I thought you were dead!
See! she is smiling 80 bright to you,
BeckOns for you not to weep;
IT'S not goodbye, but good night to you
They cannot bury me deep!

called up his rifles, having no artillery,
and the enemy's battery was forced To
fly, as the battle ragged along the rugged
ridge. The crest was crown OF fire.
Sharper and sharper ratified the musket-
ry. Thicker and thicker fell the ranks
Of dead and dping. All day long, until
the sun set in clouds, the struggle ebbed
and flowed. As the sun sank out Of sight
and the twilight descended, as If to
throw a mantle of concealment over the
dreadful scene. Garfield with spirit threw
forward his reserve. All or nothing!
On ran the valiant line Of federals, fir
ing vOlley after vOlley, and charging
with the bayOnet any rallying group of
cOnfederates, until by sheer force OF
metal 9hey hurled the rebels from the
peaks of the rocky and rugged mount,
and planted on its top their bullet
riddled cOlOrs. 1t was a glorious end
ing OF an anxious day indeed.

Tucson, Oct. ia dispatch to the Star
from Ell Paso, Tex, ls to the effect that Gen.
Carlos Fraror, with 1000 troops. has left
Chicapaa for the border to cooperate with
tht Amin troops against the Apaehes.
Gen. Jno G. Fremont has resigned as gov
ernor of Arizona, and it is thought Gen. r.
Banks will be his successor.
A special to the CitiSen from San Carlos
says: The count to-day was 3,049, or five
more than last week, showing that there
hove been no desertions from the warpath.
The telegraph operator of Lorlsburg this
evening says man named Bachelor from
Jila, just in, reports having I fight with
Indians on Stern's peak range about twelve
miles north Of the railroad. One man was
killed and four missing. They were looking
for stolen stock when fired upon and Bachel-
dor came into Shakespeare for assistance.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-The opinion Of
old residents on the frontier Is that the hos
tile Indians will now scatter, some making
their way back to the agency, Others settling
in Mexico, when they will seek to raid cattle
ranches on this side of the liue. They express
belief that the Indian scouts have been un-
trustworthy through the recent campaign,
giving information to the hostiles, and put
ting the troops In false trails. A number of
citizens, principally business men, had meet
ing last night, and indorsed the action of
Gen. Wilcox and the conduct of the troops.

WRONGFULLY ACCUSED.
Aa Aged Sinner, Full OF Booze, Makes a
False Charge.

An Aged Sinner, Full OF Booze, Makes a
False Charge.
About o'clock last evening an aged
sinner from up country, named James
Francis Magraw, full Of booze, applied at
the station house for assistance to recover
so and gold ring worth f1o, which he
claimed to have lest at the Williams
house, where he was stopping. The con-
Trajectory statements made by Aagraw in
detailing his alleged loss, made the Off
GERS suspicious, but Detective O'Connor
was detailed to investigate the matter.
Going to the Williams house, O'Connor
had no trouble in tracing the ring
to the finger of one of the female help,
where the girl alleged the old man had
placed it. The fact that the ring was
found to be cheap affair, worth not
more than fifty cents, and that when con-
fronted with the proprietor the old sim
ner disclaimed .having lost any money,
satisfied the officer the whole story was
born of drunken brain, and the matter
was dropped with the return of the ring.
These old sinners. when they do break
loose. are pretty sure to make precious
asses OF themselves.
