ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Some Good Points as to Products
and Prices for the Season.

The farmers of New England are begin
ming spring work this season under more
favorable auspices than for some time. All
kinds of produce have cleared up veiy well
and the market. generally speaking, is in a
good condition. Prices are such as to en-
courage the raising of as large crops as pos
sible and the practiciDg Of intensive
methods. 1t Is also becoming more and
more certain that competition with the West
has seen its sharpest days, as growing pop
ulation increases consumption and limits
the undeyeloped agricultural area. Some
statisticians claim that within tve years the
United States will have to import bread
stuffs to supply domestic consumption.
The outlook now Is that the sharp advan-
ces in the price Of beef the past two months
will not only be maintained but materially
increased in the future. In view OF this
fact farmers should be cautious about SELL
ing store cattle. They will be needed 70
supply the beef market before the. close &, OF
the year and at remuneratiye prices. We
would also advise farmers to raise more
calves than has been their practice for the
past few wears. Don't let the high prices OF
veal tempt you to send all the nice steer
calves to market. A.. A.
Corn will be well USED up Dy tne tllle ln9
new crop is ready for market, and corn Will
he high for an other year. even II we have
heavy crop. In view of this fact New Eng
gland farmers should be prepared to plant Q
| larger area than ever before, so as to reap
ali Che advantages possible from existing
Conditions. The outlook for pork Is fully as
good as that for beef high prices may moi
| Be maintained as long, but there Is money IN
| hogs for the next twelve months. Inc
| German embargo on American pork will be
removed, the West is cleaned out as nevel
before, and Eastern farmers will be sure O.
| good prices the present season at least
| Stock up the pigs, plant good supply o
| corn and turn 1t Into money before the mrs
| of March 1892.

A COY HERO.
BIZ ELIZABETH AKERs.

In heartless Paris, which to foreign eyes
Seems made OF mirrors, gas-light, and dis
play,
Ascending stone by stone nom day to day
High and more high the pile was bullded we'll
When suddenly fragile staging fell,
And two strong workmen swung aloft In air.
Suspended by their hands to one slight hold,
That bent and creaked beneath their sudden
weight;
One worn with toll, and growing gray and old;
One mere boy Just reaching mans estate,
Yet with hero's soul. Alone and young,
Were it not well to yield his single life,
On which no parent leaned, no children chung,
And save the other TO his babes and wifs?i
He saw that ere dellverance could be brought
The frail support they grasped must surely
And in that shuddering moments fash of thought
He chose to perish for his comrades sake.
With bravery such as heroes seldom know,
"'Tis right" he said, and loosing his strong
grip,
Dropped like a stone upon the stones below,
And lay there dead, the smile still on his lip.
What though no laurels grow his grave above,
And DER his name no sculptured shaft may
rise?
To the sweet spirit of unselfish love,
Was not his life glorious sacrifce?l

Boxing for Boys.


There is absolutely nothing in the way Of
recreation so beneficial in every respect to a
boy as boxing. am positive-and / know
whereof write, for as boy and man 1 have
tried them all, fencing, wrestling, rowing.
swimming, riding-that no one Of them has
the many advantages OF boxing. As an all
round developer it Is unequealed; not one of
the boys muscles remains inactive; back,
stomach legs, arms, all are called upon for
vigorous service. But what 1 consider its
best feature In its recommendation for boys
is the very thorough drilling which the dis
position Of the boy must under go. IL "a lad
Is quick to lose his temper, boxing will cure
MIN 1t will teach him that no one who let's
his temper get the better Of him will become
an expert sparrer; 1t will speedily convince
him Of the absolute necessity Of keeping cool
and in entire possession Of his wits In order
to sustain bis efforts and avoid defeat. The
boxer who cannot control his temper is prac-
tically at the mercy of cool, skilful oppo-
nent. One cannot spar successfully and be-
flustered. A boxer must ever be on the
alert, his wits constantly alive, looking for
an opportunity of assault; he must be able
to act instantly and with cool elaboration,
as distinguished from wild, undirected
action. lie need do no running to develop
muscles of his legs or his lungs these are all

Later information regarding the con-
struction by the Terminal railroad
company of the line from Milford south
toa connection with the Santa Fe, is to
the effect that the contracts have not
yet been let. Contractor Walker, who
recently arrived in this city from Salt
Lake, has stated to friends that he
learned while there, that the terms of
the contract had been agreed upon by
Messrs. Kerens and Chandler and the
contractors, and that after their depart
ure for st. Louis the papers were drawn
The chances are that work will soon
commence.

A SILLY ARREST.
MIR. Siegel Taken to Jail For Escap-

MIR. Siegel Taken to Jail For Escap-
ing From an Accident.
= '"rhe way the police force is run is
outrageous" said Mr.. Siegel, the we'll
known halter, to a HERALD reporter
yesterday evening.
'"This afternoon was driving down
Spring street from Franklin, on my way
back from Pasadena, where l had taken
some friends from the east. As neared
the corner OF First, one of my friends on
the back seat said, Look out, Siegel,
there is cable car right behind you,'
and just then saw another coming
right at me in front. There was only
one thing to do, and that was
to get out of there quick, so
put the whip on the team and got out
safely. Ill hadn't done so we all would
have been killed. What was my sur
prise when Officer Smith stepped up to
me and arrested me for fast driving. 1
explained to him that l was not driving
fast; that | was just trying to save my
life, but it was no use, he insisted on
taking me to the police station, where /
put up 50 bail, and they let me co."
When Mr.. Seigel was taken to the
Jail he tried to find Chief Glass, but that
official, of course, was not on hand. The
whole affair was ridiculous, and at the
same time Outrageous.

AN OPEN CARD.
Los ANGELES, April 2

Los ANGELES, April 2, 1891.
To THE PUBLIC: Three years ago our
little boy, frankie, had the measles,
which nearly destroyed his eyes and left
them in such weak condition that he
has not been hardly able to see since,
until lately. He suffered from such
nervous adherence OF light that he had
to be confined to dark room, and had
to have his eyes bandaged when he went
out. Having heard much of the skill of
DR.. Darrln at the Hotel Ramona, in this
city, consulted him and tried his treat
ment, which has successfully restored
his sight SO that he is able now to see
for the first time and to attend school.
His teachers can testify to his improve
ment. feel very grateful to the doctor
for what he has done, and can be re-
ferred to for any particulars in regard to
his case. Mrs. J. A. DUNCAN,

deal said on both sides. The Drs. Dar-
rim want just such advocates. No one
tongue or corner of the mouth can tell
of the wonderful cures they are making

plant and cultivate releases the pur-
chaser from all responsibility until the
land is placed in his possession in a

same, but the monthly payments being
larger and the total cost per acre being

The entire party expressed themselves
as being delighted with the prospects,
and several sales will doubtless be con-
summated as the result of Yesterdays
