TIE PERXICIoUs LITERATURE CRUSADE.
The country has recently been shocked
by more startling testimony of the PERM.
cious influence of vile literature. 1t is
needless 20 recite them. The moral senti-
men5 of the American people long since
rose level to the magnitude of the evils of
vicious publications. Such men as An
ebony Comstock have the full moral sup
port of the people. The only reason why
Sash literature and dime novel abomins.
tions faunt their indecencies in the public
face unchecked ID because the greed of
publishers and the gains Of the rascally
business control law makers. What is the
evidence OF this? The fact that in not a
solitary State in the Union has Legisla-
ture yet been found with the hardwood to
declare against the movement of suppress
sion, although they neglect to pass the
necessary Laws. In every instance-and
we have diligentlyinformed ourselves upon
the subiect-the evils have been admitted,
but action has been postponed by tactics
best known to the professional politician.
It remains for solitary legislative COM
mittee TO report adversely, or to declare
that vicious literature is not menacs to
the youth, an insult to the intelligence and
an outrage upon the decenoy OF the coun.
try. Selfish interests, however, have been
equal to securing an extension of the lease
of existence to the vile business of these
vicious publishers. The telegraphic reports
of the last few days indicate that public
sentiment is wesrying OF waiting, and will
very early make its will known in such
pronounced form that police gazsttes, dime
novels, bswdy-house illustrated sheest,
criminal periodicals and the like, will be
treated as are harmful vermin and poison
GUS reptiles

The hYperbole the writer referred to INDUCES in

awful thing-an amateur actor. But extravaganza
OF expression laid aside, in all seriousness it is not
pleasant to have ones offspring fall in love with the

the stage develops into dramatic worth, and in nine
cases out of ten the time devoted to amateur dra-
matte tomioolery, if given to intellectual cultivation
or rational and elevating recreation, would make
men and women who would be an honor to the race,
which amateur theatricas very seldom do.

Democrats that Joseph Steffens. Republican
candidate for Mayor. only became citizen
by naturalization in 1882. A reference to the

TIfg mistake some reformers make is in supposng
that morals con be legisated iato a community
Legislation is conceived by such to be the cure
all" fer all politics! and social evils The truth is
that public sentiment must be the Atlas upon
whose bercuean shoulders all legislation must be
borne. Moral reforms must come first and legisa-
tive enactments but voice them. You cannot make
man either q Christian heather, drunkard
or q teetotsller by Act of Legislature But legisla-
ton may aid moral sentiment since it is at its
mand, but never itself commands that sentiment.
Some Of the most desirable reforms of the age are
turned backward, because their indiscreet friends
lose slght Of these truths

that those who ask the Government to expend

naLota Farming,

The following extract from q letter from s.
S. Marsh, formerly Of Little Valley, N. Y,
now Of Mimic, Dakota territory, gives us an
idea Of the season in that locality and may
be Of interest to many people in this vicinity
who have friends in the territory. We COM
plain of the cold winters here in Vermont but
IL fairly makes us SILVER to read the record Of
tho thermometer in Dakota; and think Of the
ground being frozen six or eight feet deep
and not thawng out till midsummer
1.-THE lowest temperature registered in De-
cember was 42o below zero, and the lowest in
January was 49o below zero while the average
lowest for the last 40 days is 25o below yet
we have not felt the cold any more than we
would in New York when the average is 10'
above zero. The weather most of the time
has been clear and pleasant, with very dry
atmosphere, but little wind, and very little
storm. We have but few inches Of snow at
this time. 1t has not been warm enough OF
any time of day to thaw in the shade since
the 10th of November.
The soil here is fine black loan, much of it
inclined TO be a trife sandy, but very rich and
productive. As but little rain falls in this
region, il would not be possible to raise our
great crops of wheat-25 to 40, and in some
instances over 80, bushels to the acre-with'
out this extreme cold. The frost penetrates
the soil to the depth Of six or eight feet and
does not get out of the ground before July or
later. AS all know, the frost coming to the
surface brings moisture 80 that when the
earth is parohed and dry in June and July,
this frost supplies moisture to the little root
let's that are creeping down through the rich
earth to find water to drink. You can dig
down a few inches anywhere, during drouth
that in New York would burn up every green
thing and find the soil cool and moist, while
at the surface vegetation is green and thirty
ing.
There is plenty of firstcass land that can
be had at from So to $40 per acre, from which
the purchaser may harvest the next season, If
he breaks and tills the same, 25 to 40 bushels
of No. l hard wheat, the finest grown on this
continent There is no dispute as to that.
No one should come to this country expect
ing to harvest crop of oranges, dates or lem
ons, because he will be disappointed nor
with the idea that bouncing crop of wheat
can be harvested without work but to a man
who has courage and pluck, and can face the
cold and do full days work, rich returns
await him."

There is a waste product of matted barley,
called malt sprouts. 1t has not yet been used
as cattle food in this vicinity, but if it real
ly is of MS much value as a concentrated food
MS has been represented, it may come into
more general use. 1t will be recolected by
those who hvve attended the meetings of the
board of agriculture this winter that Loren
P. Smith-sent out by the agricultural col
lege-estimated the value of malt sprouts
costing at his place 10 Trumansburgh, N. Y,
$12 per ton, as moro than equal to cotton-seed
meal according to cost. 1t appears that malt
sprouts are not everywhere valued SO highly.
In answer to question about their value, n
member of the Elmira, N. y, farmers club
replied that they would be worth So per ton
compared with hay at present prices. Hay is
quoted there at 50 to $40 per ton. He values
ton of malt sprouts therefore, at about half
as much rs ton of good hay. He would not
be at much trouble to procure malt sprouts il
he could get hay made at an early stage OF
growth, or before the seed forms. The ques-
ton to which this was q reply implied that
malt sprouts might be bought for So ton

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duccd in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
solcncd the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering solens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of o. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough

Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
