CHRISTIAN sCHAEFEB

4
| Died, in this city, on Monday, March
9th. 1882, at about IL o'clock p. m., Mr..
Christian Schaefer, aged ninety eight
years.
| II is seldom that the chronicler l.
/ called upon to record the death of one
SO advanced ia years as WAS the
venerable man who is the subject Of
| this notice. Christian Schaefer was
born in the year 1854. at Beisheim
in Germany, and was. therefore, at the
time of his death about 9S years
old. His wife was Gertrude Billiz.
whom he married in Euhenheim, III
Germany, aud who died in this place
in 1869; their family consisting of nine
children. They came to America in
1854, and settled in Milwaukee. Chris
tian Schaefer was a soldier under
Napoleon Bonaparte. and fought at the
battle of Waterloo. He was an arden
admirer of the great warrior, and his
recollections of his military life We're
of very interesting character. After
he left the service of Napoleon he
served three years i'll the Prussian
Army. He was a man Of excellent
character, and of a serene and tranquil
temperament Until very recently
notwithstan ding his great age, he was
able to walk to church. where on Wed
nesday morning the last offices of
religion were performed over the
remains. His funeral services at the
German Catholic Church, under the
direction Of Rev. Father Hubert, were
largely attended. He died simply
from extreme age, without pain and
without complaint. Those who We're
accustomed TO occasionally meet him
on his way to or from his devotions
will always remember with pleasure
the courteous salntation of Grand
father Schaefer.

Eye View of the Crops.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept 10, 'S2.
Editor Standard Il left Nashville
Sept. 9TH and next evening took sup
per in this city. Thinking your read
ers would like to know something about
the prospects of the crops in the Mid
die States, can say they were never
better from Nashville to this place.
Corn was never better and more hay
than ever put up before. They are
just threshing their wheat and turning
their stubble. 1t is nearly all turned
and they are hauling out manure and
scatteringi it and turning it under. They
are spreading manure on land that
looks like it would make ten barrels of
corn to the acre. This is what makes
the good crop-plenty of manuring,
turning of the SOD under, and they
reap their reward in 20 to rs bushels
wheat, and 10 to II barrels corn. Can
see hundreds of fine sheep at one sight,
and plenty OF short horn cattle as an
evidence of prosperity of that land of
farming.
While sitting at the hotel door this
morning train passed in from one Of
the streets here. l counted in one
train 81 cars of fine short-horn cattle.
900 head in one train at $40 per head
would be $24,O0
These lands are worth from 500 to
$3.50 per acre. This does not look like
hard times. They people stay at home
and work and have something to sell.
You are doing good work. Try
and stimulate your farmers to stay at
home and improve their lands and
grow good sheep and cattle to sell and
not come to town without bringing
something to sell. If were running

What Was Raised On An
Acre of Land.

A farmer in Main makes a statement
of what he had raised last year on an
acre of land-almost enough, we should
think, to support family. He plan
one-third of his acre in corn, and he
usually produced thirty bushels of good
corn. This quantity was sufficient for
use and fattening two or three hogs.
From the same ground on which the
corn stood he raised 200 or 800 pump
kins and an ample supply of beans.
From bed of six yards square he u.s.
ually obtained sixty bushels of onions;
these he sold for 81 a bushel, which
amount purchased his -four for one
year. thus from one.third of an acre
and an onion bed he obtained lis bread
stuffs and 200 Or 300 pounds of pork.
The remainder of the GROUND was ap-
propriated to all kinds Of vegetables for
both summer and winter use. He also
had a flower garden, raspberries, cur
rants, gooseberres in great abundance,
and also few choice apple, plum, pear
peach and ounce trees. -NerC England
Homestead.
We have given from the NeaV Eng
land Homestead "What was raised on
an acre of land, to give our readers
an idea of what may be done on a small
piece of land when made thoroughly
rich and properly cultivated. If far
mers, every year, make say one acre
perfectly rich and cultivate in the best
paying crops, they would soon find it
much easier to make living farming.
A few acres of very rich land planted
in vegetables, such as potatoes, onions,
and other articles that would bear trans
portation would pay we'll. As gen
eral thing, we do not give that atten
ton to gardening that we should. Small
families are frequently nearly support
ed on a small amount of land well fer
tilted and cultivated.
Let US make a note of this and pre-
pare an acre or more if we can for tn,
coming season. Now is the time to be
r gin to prepare the land. If we will
| only take the trouble to gather up al
the old ashes, old bones, (and dlsolv
! them) rotten chip manure, leaves, ant
other fertilizers that 60 to waste every
year on the premises, and add to on

e cial fertilizers are good and it may pa,

e care of all the barnyard compost W
i can, and if not enough, use in connec
ton with the artificial fertilizers.
