tion. The present and final returns aggregate
in round numbers / 1625,000,000 bushels. The
permanent estimation will be published after
analysis of all records of area, condition and
production of the year, and conscientious adj
justment of all possible differences.
There is also much reduction in quality
and intrinsic value in the Northwest from i'm
maturity and injury by frost, especially in
Iowa. The statistical agent of that State eX-
presses the opinion that it will take three
bushels TO equal the value of two bushels of
good corn.-Fr0m Report of C0nimiSS0nerof Of Agri-
culture for 1882.
WASHING FRUIT TREES.
There are insects common to all trees and it
is only by constant care that we can get salts
faction from our trees. On the pear and apple
there is a scale insect which attaches itself to
the bark and iniures the trees if allowed to re-
main. 1t is known that any greasy matter IS
death to insects. Thus there are many com
pounds of this nature used for washing trees.
One form of wash is made by adding one pound
of whale oil soap to three gallons of warm
water, stirring well and applying with stiff
broom or brush. The trunk should be rubbed
thoroughly and hard, to remove rs much as
possible of loose bark, so that the liquid may
reach every part of the surface. Another good
wash is n weak I've from wood ashes. a third
wash is made by adding two quarts of soft
a vessel over the fire, and, when warm, the soap
and water readily combine by stirring, and
should be applied like the whale oil applica-
ton. The best results are obtained by wash
ing the tree about three times during the sea-
son, applying the first in March or April, the
second in June, and the last in August. The
insects, as well moss, will he cticctualiy re-
moved, leaving the bark in d fine, healthy con-
dition.-ErchdRge.
WINTER CARE OF COWS.
A well-fed COW, one properly cared for in the
winter, is good cow all summer Corn and
grain may be high, but a good COW is your best
market She may ask for little time; give it
her; she Will pay you sixty fold. Give her
fair show this winter. Do not let her wear an
Overc0at of slcet and snow. Two or three
quarts of meal a day. and what hay or straw
corn-fodder she will eat, then good, warm
shelter and kind treatment. and you will
ceive generous reward. There are no cows
of any breed that can resist this treatment
WOOD ASHES
The best results from wood ashes are secured
by adding small portion of common salt.
Ashes contain all the mineral elements Of the
plant, and they exert good influence III un-
locking fertility that would not be otherwise
available. In burning anything the chlorine
ii contains is carried off with the smoke, and
salt (chlorde of sodium) supplies the deficiency.
ROUGH ON RATS.
An Iowa correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph makes his granary distaStctul to rats
by " daubing all the angles on the outside of
the building with hot pne-tar for the width Of
three or four inches, and also any seam or
crack where a rat Or mouse can stand to gnaw."

Our Public Domain.

A few years ago statement went
the round of the newspapers showing
how nearly all the really valuable pub
lie land of our continent had been
taken up, and that soon the American
pioneer or foreign immigrant would
find that Uncle Sam had NO longer u
farm left 10 give away. Such state
ments are apt to be received and ac-
cepted as fact without question yet
the short period that has elapsed since
it was made shows that to-day We
know of more good farming land yet
unoccupied and open for settlement
between tile Missouri river anj the Pa
chic than was supposed to be In that
entire region at the time that state
ment was made.
Some will tell you that all the really
valuable western lands have long since
been taken up, and that only rocks and
arid deserts remain; others, that after
the completion of the Pacific railroads
there will be only few branches left
to be built in the far west; Others that
the mines of the Rocky mountains will
soon be exhausted, and that when they
fail we shall see that region deserted.
Such is the language of the croaker, or
the disappointed man who failed in the
west. as he would have done anywhere,
or the eastern man who thinks civil.
cation Is bounded by the Mississippi.
But il you have lived III those regions,
or have visited them, you will believe
with me. that never at any time in the
history of our country have her pros
poets for rapid growth and continued
prosperity been any better than at the
present time. Each year sees new re-
gions not only opened up, but others
discovered to be valuable for some pur-
pose, while the ever.growing network
of iron bands binds the whole country
In closer union. Monopolists may
seek to control the traffic of CONT
nent, but the power of free and in
telligent people is still, and must ever
remain supreme in our lard.-F. E.

broad cloth. with an ample black tie,
and fair display Of shirt bosom be-
meath, he would readily be taken in our
country for highly sedate Presby-
terian clergyman. Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan,
who defends the prisoner, is somewhat
older than the leading attorney for the
prosecution and has less pleasant
manner. He looked and acted on Tues.
day as though all the miseries of his
distressed country had settled for n
time upon his shoulders and as though
he were there TO guard, not simply
O'Donnell's interests, but the cause of
Ireland In general. At the same time,
his rather petulant voice, and the
threat he made of withdrawing from
the defense IN certain contingencies,
showed that he regarded himself as
leading forlorn hope. But he Is a

less, before a sysmpathetic jury could
put In effective work. All engaged
seemed to feel the gravity of the situ.
alton, excepting one. and that was the
prisoner. His responses to the most
telling points in the testimony were
simply smile. He did not act, how
ever, like one who glOried in having
done heroic deed and was Indifferent
to the consequences, but rather like
one who expected in some way to es-
cape the consequences Of his conduct.
But how ridiculous is such hope on his
part! II the evidence proves him to
have shot Carey, there is not the ghost
of chance for him before the courts OF
England. In the eyes of the British
justice O'DonnOll is something more
than an ordinary murderer. from the
fact that the man he killed was ward
Of the English government. This fact
makes the conviction and punishment
all the more certain. No money sub.
scribed for his defense can save him OF
help him. A hundred Of the ablest
lawyers the United States could send
over would do his case no good. The
American dispatches this morning
state that the conductors of his defense
fund hope to make capital for hm by
investing his cause with the inter.
national interest. They may in this
way make capital for him over there
but the effect here will just be the op
posite. Regarding America as the hot
bed of Irish sedition they will tolerate
no interference from that country IN d
case Of this kind. Still, few here re-
gret the death of Carey. and many
rather admire the man who dispatched
him. But the mass of English people
feel, in common with the authorities
that the law must take its course and
il O'Donnell be guilty he cannot be toe
speedily brought to the gallows.

about this man. that is at th,s time
attracting so much public attention:
Another person in great trouble here
is Mr.. Patrick O'Donnell who has just
been committed for the murder of
Carey. though to observe the actions
of the accused no one would suppose
that the woes of his position weighed
very heavily on his mind. l saw him
on Bow street last Tuesday. He i'm

sense and that little very poorly bal

was one of sickening impressiveness.
Mr.. Flowers, the magistrate, fine old
English gent nan, looked the picture
of awful majesty. Mr.. Poland, the
great criminal lawyer, acted like one
who was conscious Of having q great
case in hand and his short. measured
and incisive opening speech indicated
that he felt sure OF winning it. He
speaks slowly and in examining wit

and money was raised to defray the ex-
penses OF good Indian who has been
appointed to 60 to Connecticut and kill
couple of native detectives. We trust
this good missionary may be able to
accomplish his good work successfully
and safely, and we hope that this moye-
ment among the Indian tribes, looking
toward the better protection of human
life in New England, may gain in zeal
and strength, until the time may come
when a woman's life will be as safe in.
Connecticut as In New Mexico and the
lava beds. 1t Is natural and right that
the Indians should feel this interest in
us. We are their neighbors. They
used to live in our midst. New Eng
land was full of them at one time, until
Miles Standish and other good men
killed them off. And if something
isn't done TO stop the present carnival
of crime in Connecticut" (vide "Stolen

as scarce as Indians Therefore We
hope this missionary spirit among the
Indian tribes may be fostered and en-.
couraged by the best and widest chiefs
and that their work among us may be-
productive Of great good. And when
ever an Indian missionary is seen 10 be
