Tho Application of Lime.

Fifty Or sixty years ago, and sometime
subsequently, it was the universal GUS
tom among the farmers of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland to use lime,
freshly burned and slakcd, as an appli-
cation to land. We remember when the
quick lime was transported, in wagons
and boats, from localities where lime
stone and kins were abundant, to farms
from ten to fifty OF more miles distant,
slaked in large piles. and .tbGD ..islMeatll
readily procurablc. But for some wears
past the practice has materially de-
creased. The idea seemed to prevail that
burned limestone was not ronuinc
lerllllzcr though it could not be denied
It's effects upon clay lands in finino the
SOL were very beneficial. OF late, how
ever, the old notions in regard to lining
the land are generally obtaining. Many
experienced farmers claim that the crop
has senslbly diminished since spreading
lime" literally has become questionable,
Cultlvators say that, as an element and
promoter of rank clover growth, lime on
the fields or in the soil is necessity
All experienced farmers know that clover
roots are the most potent agency in COM
mon use for cnriching the soil. 1t ab-
serbs, says an agricultural writer. and
stores up nitrogen in the soil for succeed.
ing crops. Large quantities of nitrogen
in the earth and air absorbed and fixed
by clover more than by any other plant.
There can be no doubt that lime assists
the growth of clover, "and when a man
can grow clover successfully he can grow
any crop he wants to-" However, every
close observer knows that clover can be
succc ,siully grown on soils which arc
nearly devoid of lime as n constituent
element; and wherever clover can be cul-
tivated well, so can every species of tame
grass, including that standard old cereal,
wheat.

How butter is Spoiled,

ii. Ta!cott, one Of the Dairy and
Food Commissioners of Ohio, has been
investigating the complaints of the bad
butter coming from the farmers to mar
ket. In recent circular he says: "Our
Commission firmly believes that a large
majority OF the butter made by farmers
is good butter, but is ruined when trans.
ferred to the dealers hands, and it is
done in this manner: 1t is received
mostly at country stores and placed in
filthy, IRONY, rancid boxes or places and
stored in cellars thoroughly impregnatcd
with vicious odors of rotted potatoes,
coal oil, fish brine, pork brine,
and every other foul odor that
comes from dccayed vegetables
kept for sale at such stores.
Genuine butter will lose all its good
flavor in very few hours when put in
any such place.
but the next fatal step of the dealer
is to take all varieties of colored butter
and rework them together, mixing and
crushing until he secures an even color.
He then packs his mass of salve into
tubs or firkns Qor it is no longer butter.
the granulations of butter are all spoiled
by this second and unnecessary working
and the result is simply grease. In this
ruined condition it reaches the consumer
through the city commission houses
and, of course, is pronounced unfit
Tor table use, and possibly
for cooking purposes. How can this be
remcdieda In two ways. The consumer
must purchase direct from the farmer in
suitable sized packages, so that no sec.
ond working need be made, or the deal.
er must reform. No dealer should Inv
butter of the farmer except it is put in
convenient shipping packages when
made, and in amounts OF ten to tinv

pounds each, according to theszo of the
dairy, to have it all times good, fresh,
sw, ct butter, and no moro roll butter
should be received by them than the
daily retail trade of the store demands
This is practical, and the entire mako
of butter in the country can be brought
to these terms. have done it or caused
it to be done in stores under my control
"Ncxt, no dealer should handle a
pound of butter until he first secures u
room to keep it separate from all other
goods having any unpleasant odor. A
cheap, up-ground, artificial cellar is
best, where the air is pure and well ven.
tilatcd, but can be kept cool.
"Roll butter should kept on carthcn
plates or metal plates, and these should
be scalded and kept sweet and clean all
the time. Any merchant who will han
die butter in this manner need never lose
one cent, nor will any consignmcnts sent
to reliable city dealers, as packed by tho
farmers, fail to bring the full fair market
price. Nor will consumers ever com
plain. The shade or color is not so ma
tcral as to have good, fresh, sweet but

A bold and successful highway robbery
occurred in Cambridge on the night of the
9TH. Mr. S. f. Rugg, the we'll known auc-
tloneer who has an office in the Lyceum Hal
building, Harvard square, was garrotted and
robbed of large sum OF money while walk
ing through one of the principal avenue, of
city Several days ago Mr. Rugg sold a
piece OF real estate for Mrs Hammond, who
lives on Oxford street, and last evening, soon
after o'clock he left his home, on the cor
ner Of Cleveland and Elery streets, for the
purpose of delivering the money
IS55W to Mrs. Hammond at her home. The
money was enclosed in linen envelope and
placed in an inside pocket of his coat. When
Mr.. Rugg had nearly reached Eve cit street,
not far from Jarvis field, two men spranr
upon him, one striking him severe blow on
the back, and the other Selling him by the
neck. Then, while one held him the other
searched his garments and removed the en-.
velope containing tho $3.50 and also a
pocket-book containing few dollars. The
thieves ran away, leaving their victim in
halt strangled condition lying upon the side

robbers was q burly looking person, and
the other was simmer and taller than his
companion, and that both were apparently
letween 80 and 40 years of age One wore
a soft, slouchel Lat, and the other der

The man who assisted Mr.. Rugg went TO
the house of Mr.. Charles L. RAYMOND and

teegraphed the fact to the Central Police
Station, after calling at tho house of Mr..

SHRIEKING THEIR DEFIANCE.
New Trial for the CONDEMNED
Anarchists Denied.
Dramatic Oratory Fills the Court Room
Accusing the state Attorney ofMurder.

Judge Gary, in the criminal court on the
7th overruled the motion for new trial IN
the cases of tho eight Anarchists charged
with the Haymarket massacre and confirmed
the verdict of the jury that Spies, Parsons
Fielden, Schwab, Engle, Fischer and Ltngg
should 10 hanged, and that Neebo should SUI
fer imprisonment for 10 years in the state
pcnitentiary.
Judge Gary, in giving his decision, re-.
viewed the evidence of the trial, considered
tho objections raised by counsel for the de-
fence since the trial, and concluded that no
case of such magnitude could have been tried
wi h less irrcgularity. lie then gave the
prisoners individually an opportunity TO say
why sentence, according tolhe verdict oil INC
jury, should not be passed on them.
Spies addressed the court at length from
manu- cript, claiming that much OF the eVi'
dence against him was trumped up, am thaG
he was the victim Of capital. In conclusion,
he moved his arms wildly and fairly shrieked
