Facts for Farmers.

Two dairymen in Maryland have
demonstrated that the use of steamed
food was preferable by at least % per
cent.
F. d. Curtis believes that farmers
can afford to sell a portion of their
hay, and purchase grain to feed with
their straw, making profit by the ex-
change.
OF hogs old enough to fatten for
market, Indiana had 2,003,943 head in
1880; 1,775, ,9S4 head in 1881, and only
1,655,S79 head in 1888. Many other
States report similar fall-off.
Waldo F. Brown says: "From@are-
full observation in my own feeding, l
estimate the fodder from an acre of
corn to be worth as much for feeding
as the hay from the average acre of
timothy"
The country gentleman says that
small or moderate plantations of fruit
for selling in market are nearly always
more profitable, if we'll managed, than
great areas, which can rarely be at
tended to in the best manner.
II is q severe calamity to any agri-
cultural country not to be the producer
of its own wool. All the varieties of
wool producible in the world are
equally producible in the United States.
Saxony or Silesia can produce no finer.
If a cows hind feet are tied together,
she cannot kick. 1t will make the
cow some trouble for a time, but the
mind of the mixer will be secure and
undisturbed. After a few weeks a
slight cord on each leg will be enough.
In Australia and New Zealand 900,
600 people have already 90,000,00O
sheep, and have area sufficient for the
easy pasture of 2OOOOO,OOO sheep at
the least. With one-twelfth of our
population they have twice our aggre-
gate stock of sheep.
Dear as corn has been, it we'll pays
to feed it moderately to cows giving
milk. Butter is prOportionately as
dear as corn, and feed of the latter
affects the butter products, both in
quantity and quality, even more than
it does the flow of milk.
The advantage of breeding from poll
ed rams, says a Missouri shepherd is
an exchange, are that the animals fight
less, are never fyblown around the
horns, are more conveniently sheared
and, what is of greater importance
keep easier and grow larger.
The Farm and Garden says that
despite the constant attention which il
called to the value of sheep, not only a
improvers of the soil, but as profitabl,
farm animals for wool and mutton
there are many farmers who hav,
never raised or kept a single sheep.
An Iowa correspondent of the Ger
nGntOlcn Telegraph makes his granar,

THE Hindoo widow" chants the
Boston Transcript, "is the only one
that cremates. The others remate."
A lady afflicted with a genuine and
nauseating case of catarrh, whether
she is single or married, probably longs
for cremation (of the disease, if not of
her person). The sickening, revolving
breath, discharges, racking pains and
other characteristics of Catarrh. render
life burden. Ely's Cream Balm is a
reliable, fragrant, yet certain cure for
all such cases. This balm is not
liquid or snuff, and is easily applied.

national Aid to schooIs.

This nation is under obligation to qualify
for the discharge of the duties of citizenship
those who by national legislation have been
charged with such duties NJ, VEssIoT,
academic inspector Of schools at Marseillcs,
France, in recent circular in regard to tho
relation of republic TO the common schools,
uses this language: "The establishment of
the republic and of universal suffrage, which
is its basis, has given to the school o new
characters it imposes upon the teacher new
duties. The primary school is no longer
merely local, communal ii has become in the
highest degree national institution ON
which the entire future Of the country
depends! 1t is no longer place to
which tho child resorts TO acquire cer-
tain information that may provo useful to
him in private life; IL is the source from
which is to be drawn, together with princi-
pies of universal morality, Il knowledge of
his rights and duties in regard TO public life;
it is the school of citizenship and patriotism.
The function, then, of the teacher is notably
increased, and his responsibility extended.
The children now under his care will one day
be voters and soldiers; they will have their
share of influence in shaping tho future of the
country; their souls must then be well tenn
pered their minds must be enlightened ;
they must be acquainted with the intelli-
gcnco of their times, with the society of which
they are to become members, the civil duties
thcy win have to fulfill, the institutions they
will have to strengthen"
This is addressed to teachers, and has refer
cnce to the kind Of teaching now required,
because France has become republic, and
not a plea that the republic shall establish
the free school as the only basis Of govern
meut resting upon universal Suffrage. France
had already done this with wisdom and
liberality which should put to shame her
older sister, who in the hour of danger struck
the chains from more than 100000 slaves as
military necessity, and endowed them with
the ballot as reconstructive measure, yet
has persistently closed her eyes to the brood
Of dangers she has thus armed against her
own life, as though it were no concern of hers,
but matter for the several states to manage
as best they may.
That the ruler of a wisely-govemed people
must be wise is an axiom so bald and palpa-

Crime in Washington-tha is that phase of
crime which comprises burglary, larceny,
bank forgeries, bunko beating, and pocket
picking--has through collusion with the de-
tectives become an industry at the expense
and to the sad loss and annoyance Of our citi-
zens-an industry needing two elements
upon which to thrive-the criminal who robs,
iorges, or picks pocket, and the detective
who bids him stand and deliver up his
plumber or go to the penitentiary. This
industry could not be pursued without
both of these elements. The roblnr would
soon find his doom were he pursued for the
sake of his crime, and the profits of the con-
niving detective would cease. AS practiced
now, one is as necessary TO their business as
the other; and surprise is not excited when
the charge Is made, with every probability of
truth, that the officers Of the law encourage
criminals in order to profit by their acts
through rewards offered for stolen property.
1t is known now that some Of these
detectives have offered to either arrest the
criminal or return the property stolen for a
consideration. The alternative has been Of
fercd to the plundered citizens, you can get
your property if you will pay reward, but
you cannot have the thief arrested. If
you insist upon having the thief arrested
you cannot have your property restored
to you. This is blackmail of the most
odious character. 1t is the offspring of the
practice pursued in this city heretofore. 1t
is high time that it should cease, Detectives
must detect They must no longer be an eX-
change for the recovery Of stolen property-a
process that inaicts only loss upon the citizen
contributes to the avarice of the culprit de-
toctive demoralizes the police force lowers
the standard of public morals and finally fos-
tors a criminal horde among us, and allows
them to go unwhipped ofjustice. This thing
must STOP
