\ writer in the Baltimore Sun says:
whether farmers get their rightful
share Of the farm profits depends not
only upon their ability to work and
plan, but also upon their ability to
market what they have to sell, as well
as upon the carefulness of the wife
also. For instance, the farmer may be
very careful about feeding his cows,
keeping them clean, etc, but unless
the housewife supplements his close
attention with the same care of the
milk, cream and dairy utensils, his
extra work amounts to but little. We
have now in our minds eye farmer
who receive five cents above the market
price for his butter, from the fact that
his city customers found that the quail
ity was the same throughout the year,
and as good as any to be found in the
market. Now this extra five cents is
all profit, and he is entitled to it. Nor
is that all the profit, for when once a
customer is obtained it is usually for a
whole season, and q market thus opened
for other produce. In this way much
time is saved in marketing, and middle.
men entirely dispensed with. 1t brings
him in the cash, and thus enables him
to buy where he can get the most fol
the money, which is another profit he
reaps. 1t is always best for farmer
to establish reputation for selling a
good article, in order to get his full
share of the profit OH anything he has
to sell. Another thing, a farmer, in
order to make ready sale of any kind
of produce direct to the customer
should establish reputation for honest
dealings, i. e., never representing al
article to be little better than it reall,
is, for confidence once lost is neve
regained."

BURGLARS,

Mr.. Farnsworth' house on Kinau
street was burglarized last night, by
two kanakas. Petty stealing has
been carried on in that neighbor-
hood of late and last night Mr..
Farnsworth's Chinese cock saw the
parties who probably have been
doing all the mischief. Mr.. Farms
worth, who has been working like
beaver on the Eleu's boiler for the
past several days, slept so sound by
last night that hc did not hear
man get in the bathroom window,
which is or feet from the ground.
Neither did he hear this person open
the outer door from the inside, and
let in second party. But when his
cook came home after the Chinese
theatre was over, and shouted "haul
in" on discovery of the robbers,
Mr.. Farnsworth got out of bed just
in time to be too late to get shot
at the fellows. The burglars got
away with few trinkets and few
dollars, which the owner would not
care much about if they would re-
turn the keys they took.-Aug. IL.

APPROACHING A JUDGE.

Judge Wylie of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia,
had u case under advisement, in
which one of the parties was named
Pitcher, and although his case had
been judiciously managed and ably
argued by his attorney of record,
Pitcher thought he could strengthen
it, by calling on Judge w. privately
at his house, and arguing his case Il
little. As soon as the Judge dis
covered his object, he rose from his
seat, took hold of large pitcher,
which happened to be in his room,
and advancing towards Mr.. Pitcher,
said. "if you don't go out of this
room very quickly, there will be a
collision of pitchers here, and if
your skull does not get the worse of
it, that will not be my fault.
Whereupon Mr.. Pitcher did go,
without standing upon the order of
his going"
Judge w. had already examined
the case, and reached the conclusion
that his decision ought to be in favor
of Mr.. Pitcher, but this tampering
with him by Pitcher, so exasperated
him, that he determined to re-exam-
inc the case carefully, TO see if the
case could be more properly decided
against Pitcher, but finally decided
in favor of Mr.. Pitcher.
