RUSSIAN CORONATION MEDALS. -
Further details are given in the Ger
man papers Of the preparations now
beng made for the coronation OF the
Gear in May next. The order f,r the
Coronation medals has already been
signed. Formerly such medals only
bore the portrait of the Gear, but
Alexander III. insists that upon these
the protiles OF himself and wife shall
be exhibited side by side, as a token
OF the moral emancipation Of Russian
women. The other side of the medal
will bear the arms of the Empire and

~ A negro desperate by the
name of Jim Harris was shot and
killed at Red Land, in this parish,
last Thursday morning, by Mr.. W.
Benton Boggs. Harris was a bold,
bad and dangerous negro, and had
threatened to kill Mr.. Boggs, and it
is said that he confessed that he
participated in the Red River riot
in this parish in 1868, and was the
murderer of James Brownlee and
Beverley Ogden, two of the most
peaceable and worthy young men of
Bossier parish. Mr.. Boggs is a
quiet, law.abiding citizen and a
courteous and clever gentleman, and
We sympathize with him in his
trouble. The killing of Harris was
perfectly justifable, and all good
citizens should rejoice that the
blood thirsty fiend has at last met
his just reward.

Beware of the Commission.

buHdlO EAprths.
Superintendent Priest, of the Central
Railroad, has had the following general
order pasted on the bulletin boards in
Albany, Utica, Dewitt and Syracuse:
All conductors, firemen, brakemen, and
other employees:
The law now provides that the new
Railroad Commission shall investigate all
railroad accidents and bring the guilty
parties to justice. Remember that you
will not have Coroner's jury to deal
with, but Commission-that will see
that guilty parties are prosecuted as the
law directs, and none will escape.
Conductors, we are having too many
rear collisions. You must not fail to
send back brakemen with proper signals
md torpedocs in all cases of detention,
and see that they go back. If your men
are not reliable, answer. Take no chan
ces, but invariably be on the safe side,
and have men back with red signals and
torpedoes. In case of stormy weather,
when signals can not be seen, or there
is any doubt about it, have torpedoes
used in addition to signals, and instruct
your men how and when to use them.

Pure bred stock.

As rule pure bred stock is not the
most profitable for farmers TO keep.
Many who have tried TO keep a herd of
pure blood animals have failed. The
cost TO begin with is large. The writer
recently visited a herd Of Jersey cattle,
some Of the cows in which had cost
many hundreds of dollars. The product
in flesh and milk from these animals is
not 50 much over that Of the grade COW
as to warrant the prices paid. The man
agement that such close bred stock re-
quires is much greater than that of grade
stock, that is, crosses between the pure
blood and nativestock. Pure blood ami
mgls and herds, like the one above men
toned, are of value az breeding centers,
from which the great mass of common
stock can be built up. At low estimate
the value of the grade product can be
raised SIS or $50 each the first season. 1t
may be that farmer with a large herd
of grades thus produced can afford 20
keep two or three pure blooded animals
for further Improvement of the herd,
but in many cases it will be better to re-
plenish the pure blood from one of the
centers of such stock. 1t is a national
blessing that "fancy farmers" as they
are sometimes called, are pleased to
make such large investments of pure
blooded stock, for by this means the
supply of any breed is kept up. 1t would
be a calamity if from any cause these
carefully managed herds should all be
broken up and scattered. 1t is through
them that the whole live stock of the
country is to be improved by a gradual
process of grading. In this important
work the less fortune-favored stoclSmen
may find profitable field of labor.
The Osceola times., 1883-02-17
Raising Potatoes.

"Can potatoes be raised profitably on
the same soil for succession of years ?'
The next day after this was assigned to
me for an answer commenced TO dig
my crop of potatoes, a part of which had
been planted on the same ground on
which had raised my last years sup.
ply. The other portion of the patch was
planted on land where no potatoes had
been planted the past seven years. All
the land had been well manured with
horse stable manure. i found in digging
that where potatoes were grown last
year they did not turn out rs well as the
other part of the patch did. l also found
that the potatoes were much m ore worm
eaten and rough, consequently not SO
sa'asle or profitable. Twenty years ago
! had similar experience. only to a
greater extent. / had just bought my
farm, and it seemed to suit to plant a
patch of potatoes on land where potatoes
had been planted the year previous, but
the crop proved to be almost an entire
failure. ] then made inquiry of the
former occupant of the land, and was in
formed that that particular piece of
ground had been used for potato patch
for a number of years in succession, and
that the crop had been growing poorer
and poorer each succeeding year. Hence
/ have arrived at the conclusion that
potatoes cannot be profitably raised on
the same soil for succession of years.
Ny opinion u that q rstation Of crops is
