What IL Profit

The following words from the National
Stockman and Farmer show just appreci-
alton OF the true value OF kind of profit
from tho farm which does not appear in
the returns:
We are apt to measure success or failure
in anything undertaken solely by the cash
returns which ii brings. In some things
ahis may be fair, as for instance in spec.
ial investment outside Of ones regular oc-
cupation, or 10 something forei sn to ones
daily life. But this is no just measure Of
profit in the true sense OF the word, in
other connections. The amount Of sur
plus cash which the farmer may have ct
the end Of the year is only single item in
the profit Of the year. His entire living
has been profit, as also has been every

umerable. All these make up profit, and

The October report of the Massachusetts,
Agricultural Station gives an analysis Of
muriate Of potash showing fifty per
cent OF potash. at q value OF SI3.63 per
ton, current rates equal to two and one
third cents pound for the potash. The
composition Of wood ashes is not sufficient
ly uniform to make q perfectly accurate
comparison between the muriate and
wood ashes, but, taking five per cent as
the average OF potash in hardwood ashes,
this would make the value Of the potash
N bushel OF such ashes about seven cents.
But when we add the cost Of freight on
the muriate (say $40 per ton in Vermont,
and remember that wood ashes contains
about pound Of phosphoric acid in q
bushel. worth eight cents, besides other
valuable fertilizing matter. the relative
values will stand differently. The freight
will bring up the cost Of the potash 10 the
muriste (which is its only valuable ingre-
dent to about four cents, which will, at
an equal rate make, the potash OF .
bushel OF good ashes worth ten cents
Now add the pound OF phosphoric acid
and the value Of the ashes regulated by
cost Of the potash salt would be eighteen
cents. without any allowance for anything
but the potash and phosphoric acid in it,
II may be that the ashes have an additional
value from having recently formed part Of

is, no money is lost in paying fifty cents

The mayor here made the request that
my person having knowledge Of any facts
damaging to any member of the police
force be requested to appear and give testi-
nony before the investigation closed.
Belle Clark. an inmate of b0rdel on
First street, was sworn for the prosecution.
She testified that she had known of fines
which had been paid directly to Stevens and
not to the court, but she had only been told
so by Carrie Moore, who kept house of ill
fame at 119 North Second street. and when
the witness was in charge of the house,
CARRIE MOORE PAID STEVENS MONEY.
Carrie Moore was then sworn. When
asked by Mr.. Carleton if she had ever paid
money to Ed. Stevens she said: | refuse to
answer directly. l will say this. however:
l have been robbed by this administration.
The mayor, noticing her hesitancy, said
that whatever testimony she gave should
not be used against her in criminal pros
ecution, and Aid. Sly said: do not yield
to any intimidation but tell US the truth
without reservation. If you have ever paid
Mr.. Stevens any money for immunity from
fines i'll the municipal court we want 10
know it. Did you ever pay any money to
MIR. Stevens?"
Yes sir; on June 18th I paid Mr., Ste
vens S25 andon July paid fine of $50. so
into the municipal court had also paid a
fine of $50. so on June 49,
Ibid you ever pay him any money!"
''Yes, sir; / have paid him money some
five tunes, and i'll amounts varying from $40
to S25."
Aid. Sly-Has Mr.. Stevens ever came
10 your house to remain all night, and did
you ever pay one of the girls for the same?
After a hesitation of several minutes the
witness declined to make answer, and the
question was dropped.
Being cross-examined by Mr.. Stevens
she testified that she had been permitted to
run her house at No. 119 North Second
atraat beyond the time set by the mayor,

Mayor, dying man will grasp at straws. I
think this entire cross-eXamination is irrel-
eyant and immaterial. The point raised by
Mi. Stevens is very thin. A person in
making those entries is quite liable to write
certain words heavier than Others from the
reason that she might wet her pencil, as is
quite common with many.
MI. StevenS-I propose to show up this
conspiracy before get through with it,
and also Aid. Sly's connection with it.
AID. SLY will be mighty glad to have
you try it.
Mayor Pillsbury-The witness seems per-
feccly willing to answer all questions.
The Wimess-1 am Wiling.
A sharp cross examination, of which the
above is fair sample, was prosecuted by
Mr.. Stevens at length but witness an
Swered without an inStants hesitation and
always to precisely the same purport.
Stevens-All this money was paid me
to recompense me for fines paid for you?
Il so understood. certainly. l thought
you had accommodated me- that you had
gone and paid my fines out of your own
pocket"

name being connected with this investiga-
ton unless it is my name. If any witness
has anything to say about me they have my
full permission.
Steyens-You were told repeatedly that
you were liable to be closed?
Yes, sir; little over three weeks ago
you called and said you were sorry that
you had bad news for me; that must close
