MAKING HAY.

An Ohio correspondent of the Country
Gentleman furnishes the following in
formation in regard to the time and
manner of making hay:
will give you the experience of an
old and successful farmer, who has kept
steers every winter for 80 years. He
said to me: Il can put as many pounds
of flesh on a certain number of steers in
the winter, in a warm barn, with the
early-cut hay from 10-acre lot, as those
same steers would have put on had they
run in the lot and eaten the grass as it
grew Now, brother farmers, do not
pass these by as big stories. They are
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth We speak that we do
know Whatever else you may do,
make up your minds to cut a part of
your hay, at least, early this year, and
cure it nicely; watch the relish with
which your horses and cattle will eat it
next winter and the effect it will have
on them, and you will never go back to
the old way, any more than you would
exchange your mowing-machine for a
scythe, or the self binder for the cradle.
"Our practice has been to cut twice
once about the middle of June, and
again about the last of July-and then
feed off the third crop or plow for wheat.
This year we intend to NOW three times.
and not have any stock on the meadows.
A fair crop would be about two and one
half, one and one-half, and three-quarter
tons for the three cuttings. Considera-
bly, more than two and one-h half tons has
been raised in this vicinity for a first
:Sg2p. but the quality of the hay is not
sod. When a crop will make two

HORRORS or MORuuNISM

J. w. Buell., who has been to Utah
investigating Mormonism, writes to
the st. Louis Republican as follows:
With regard to blood atonement, l
am assured that it is practice.l to-day
as frequently rs it was twenty five
years ago, though not so openly. There
are no coroners in Utah, and when Il
body is in death it is simply buried.
Poison does the work and there are no
inquiries. When 4 man gets tired Of
his wife lie poisons her. Que crime,
which was committed here only 4 short
time ago, must describe. Mrs. Max
we'll Came to Salt Lake City with her
husband in 1869. Two years afterward
her husband took another wife, and one
year subsequent lie WAS sealed tO 4
third. Mrs. Maxwell had two sons,
aged respectively fourteen and sixteen
years. Their father. urged them to 60
through the endowment house and be-
come AlormonS, bound by all the Oaths
of the church. Mrs. Maxwell, having
led life like that of Mrs. Hunt, Oh
jected, aud in order to prevail over her
sons, she told them the secrets OF the
endowment house. The penalty of re-
vealing these secrets is dismembermeDt
of the body, the throat cut, the tongue
torn out. Mr.. Maxwell overheard his
wife, being in an adjoining room, and
forthwith he informed the elders, who
sent for the unfortunate woman and
her two so"s. They were taken into
what is called the dark pit" Il blood
atoning room under Brigham Yonng's
house. The woman WAS then st: ipped
OF all her clothing, and tied on her back
to a large table. Six members Of the
priesthood then performed their d;mna-
ble crime. They first cut off their VIC
TINS tongue. They then cut her throat,
after which her legs and arms were
severed. The SONS were compelled to
stand 10y and witness this dreadful
slaughter Of their mother. They were
then released and given twenty-four
hours to get out of the Territory, which
was then an impcssihility. Tile sons
went directly to the house of {, friend.
to whom they related the butcilerv of
their mother, and obtaining a package
Of provisions, they started; but on the
following morning they were hoth dead;
they had met the Danites. One other
case almost similar to the above, occur-
red about five years ago in the city hall.
These are truths. and the lady to whom
the sons told the story is willing to
make affidavit tn the facts if she can
be guaranteed immunity from Mormon
vengeance.

MOTHER SHIPiON.

The Milwaukee Republican says of
the recent rmmor that the Milwaukee
and the Northwestern companies had
agreed not to build any road this year:
Some time ago Il Chicago paper pub
liS'led 4 statement, which, it claimed,
WAS from good authority, to the effect
il,at the Chicago. Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway company had decided not
to build 4 mile of road during the pres
year. This saline decision, it was alleg.
ed, had been made by the Chicago and
Northwestern company, and each COM
pany had agreed that no attempt to
push its lines into new territory, with
in years time at least, would be
made by them. In the light of the
work being done by both companies
this statement appeared rather incon.
Sistent, and Republican reporter, yes
terday, questioned Il prominent Chica-
60, Milwaukee and st. Paul official in
regard to the matter. The official said:
''Whiie there was u quasi agreement
made by the companies last fall rela.
tive to construction on the other side
Of the river, nothing was said, believe,
regarding work on this side. The
Chicago and Northwestern are
steadily pushing their lines through,
our territory in northern Iowa. and our
company will. no doubt, reciprocate by
cxtending its road in the southwest.
There is no doubt that our company
will build an extension Of at least
400 miles southwark from Cedar Rap
ids, in the direction of Kansas City in
the spring. and there is 4 strong likeli-
hood that it will complete it's line to
Council Bluffs some time during the
summer. Both companies will, no
doubt: build rs many miles as they can,
probably"
We feared that there might he some-
thing in the rrmor and we are glad to
know that bnilding is to 90 on as usual.
Both these great lines are bearing in
this direction from the southeast with
cut offs and we hope to see them into
Worthington before the end of 1882.

The TOLEDO T. NORTHWESTERN.
The Fairmont Sentinel says:
Considerable excitement has been Gre
ated in this section of late by the report
that a corps of railroad surveyors were
engaged on u preliminary survey thro'
the southern tier Of towns III this coun-
". Investigation proves that the re-
port is true, and that the Toledo Il
Northwestern Railroad company has in
view the building of road from Ell
more item miles south Of Blue Earth
City, to W0rthington. 1t is further
stated that the company means business
and will begin active operations early
in the spring. Some Of our people are
considerably exercised over the rumOrs
aud are busily at work trying to devise
some scheme whereby. they can persU-
,:de the company to defect north far g.
nough from their present route to tap
FalrmOnt.
Some of the papers speak Of the a.
hove AS though it were a new project
just developed. The eADvANCE has fire.
quently outlined the enterprise and sta
ted at the beginning Of winter that ru-
NOR said the preliminary corps had run
line which crossed the DesmOines five
miles below jackson. bearing for Wor.
thington. This road is part of the
Northwestern system and the object Of
this cut-eff is to connect with the Wor-
thington & Sioux Falls road at this
point and secure Il shorter cut to Chica-
go. At present the Northwestern,
when taking freight at Sioux Falls and
points beyond, must ship around by
Mankato or St. Paul to get to Chicago.
AS to detlect:ng the line to Fairmont,
we do not take much stock in that, but
we wish it could he done. 1t would
suit Worthington exactly to have rail-
road communication with Fairmont
and touch the Milwaukee ut still anoth-
er point. But the Northwestern is a
corporation which drives straight a.
head, asking no bonus and no odds of
anybody, and the chances are that their
cutoff will beat all the otlIer coming
roads iuto Worthington.

A TRICK.
a Californian En- Route for st. Paul
Entrusts His Wealth to u
stranger.

There have been many confidence
games successfully played here, some
of which have become known to the
public, while the larger number have
been hushed and kept quiet, either
because of the shame felt by the vic.
tim, or the reticence of the officers.
Another trick was turned Sunday
night, the victim being Charles Wolff,
of Truckee, Nevada county, California,
a working man, who was On route for
st. Paul. He had purchased his ticket
at the transfer, and getting
on the train, took a seat
in the smoking car, a little apart from
any of the passengers. A young man
came in and, taking q eeat beside
him, asked him where he was going.
Wolf told him ''to st. Paul" He
was very glad to learn that, as he was
going there himself. His name was
Marshall. and he had a store in st.
Paul. His uncle had died recently in
Council Bluffs and left him some pro.
perty, including a stock of goods,
which he was just shipping back tc
st. Paul, etc etc. Then "the freight
agent" came in, and while Marshall
and "the agent" were rettling up some
freight, Marshall turned suddenly tc
Wolff and asked him for a loan for 9
few seconds Wolf proceeded to lei
him have $40, all he had except 6
fifty. cent piece. A moment latel

train leaving their victim plucked
