The plaintift was an employe of the road und lost both legs whilo cugaged in clearing away n wreck at Stanberry, Mo, He sued for heavy damages, alleging that the accident was due to carelessness on the part of the company. It was tried in tho federal court o year ago aud the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. The verdict was set aside and a new trial granted. Tho plaintiff was not ready for trial yesterday, and moved for contnuance, Tho court intimated that he would grart it, but stated that a decision would not be rendered until this_afternoon. Ho advised scttling,the case if possible. The watter created s0wo talk botween the attorneys, sud the plantiff’s counsel said that they had tried to settle the case aud bad offered to take 85,000, The attorneys for the defense objected to the amount and said they haa offered £3,500. The court then stated that inasmuck the plaintift desired the court to make a settlement, and ns the de fendant's property \was in the hands of the court, inasmuch as Thomas McKissock was the receiver and an officer of the court, he would follow the example of Justice Miller in Arkausus, and take the bull by the horns The court then ruled that “the judgment will be the issuance of an order to the re. ceiver, an officer of this court, to pay pl tfT 84,250, The question of costs will be scttled later. It may thro out, however,” continued the court, *as did the case to which [ have re- ferred, where the bull crowded the justice over the precipice, they took the case up and had nim reversed.” ““That can hardly be in thi Hubbard, “as your have cut off all “the horns, tised at less than 85,000, chance to appeal.” @ The attorneys for the plaintiff said they were willing to have the amount raised to $5,000, but the court stated that he did not propose to ive the defense a chance to ap- and the case, which bid fair to consume k's time, was s2ttled.

Some days ago the cvening delivery of mail was stopped on wecount of the fuct that it necessitated the carriers working more tian eight hours per day. The inconveni- ence of the change was sorely felt by tho merchants and business men of the city who have been accustomed to recciving their evening mail at their oftices, and steps were AL once taken to secure the reinstatement of the delivery. Resolutions were passed by the real estate exchange und a petition wus. circulated for signers, and both these docu- ments were forwarded to the departmentfat Washington, Postmaster Troynor also wrote to Washington in regard to the mat- ter, asking i an increase of tho number of carriers sufliciont to muke the delivery pos- sible could not be made. Inreply he re- coived a communication from the superins tendent of the free delivery system at Washington, J. F. Bates, who says tho matter will be referred to an inspector who will shortly be sent hero to examine into the needs of the freo delivery service in this city. No action will therefore be taken in the matter till the report is made. Inas- much as it is strictly prombited to work carriers more than eight ours a duy and as there ure not n0w enough carriers 10 do_the work with the pew mails that have been added, it is evident that there must be wore carriers or uusatisfactory deliver A re- quest has beon sent in for five new men When it s known that sc WO mails per day, in and out, are handied here, it will be scen that there is a vast awount of work to be done. - On or about April 1 we will move into our new quarters recently vacated by IHeury Liiseman & Co., where we will be pleased to greet ull our ol patrons.

Girl Thought She Was to Sing for the Prince. The case of Eliza Aune Fitzhugh, a teacher of music, and her mother, who were charged before Police Justice: Ha den Cor: in this place, with obtain- ing property under false pretenses, isof unusual intérest, writes a Dalston, Eng- land, correspondent of the -New York Sun, because it is a very sad case, and because it pictures a curious phase of English socicty. Miss Fitzhugh was a young woman of good repute, who had i fine and well trained voice, and 1n 1888 was making enough money to support herself and her father ana mother, the father being an invalid. In October, 1888, Mr ward, the manager of Prof. who was at that time jumping from a balloon when ata great height, came to Miss Fitzhugh and asked her to under- take the task of getting the Prince of les to attend one of Baldwin’s exhi- He premised her £10 if she The Poor ucct Accordingly Miss Fitzhugh got anap- pointment to meet Sir Francis Knollys at Marlborough house, and there suc- ceeded so well that the prince, princess and their three daughters attendedthe show at Alexandra palace. Miss Fitz- hugh had the honor of singing before the princely family when they were there also. but she never got the £10 promised to her nor any other sum. She had been at considerable expense for dress and otherwise in this matter, and so gotinto debt. 1t was then hor troubles began. She tried to getan ap- pointment as vocalist in tho family of the prince, and those who promised to help her to the post told her she was sure to succeed, and even sent her let- ters of congratulation on the certainty of her_appointment, Relying on this Miss Fitzhugh neglected to try forother pupils, and while waiting for the ap- pointment got decper in debt. Along in Decomber, 1889, her father died. 'T'o provide for the funeral she went to an undertaker and told himshe had been appointed to the postof vo- list in the family of the prince, and he thereupon trusted her for the price of a decent funeral. The bill was sent to Marlborough house. [t happened that a Miss Pitzhugh was employed there in another capacity, and she got the bill. Her father wasn’t dead and she didn’c owe any undertaker for bury- ing him. So she made a fuss about 1t, Miss Lizzie Iitzhugh, on being asked to explain, at once told the whole story trathfully. The undertaker, Mr. John Gray, of Seven Sisters’ road, offerea to forgive her the debt, but the prince’s household would not allow that. Meantime M IFitzhugh, the mother of the teacher, believing that the ap- pointment had be nlready made, had obtained credit swhere for food by telling that her daughter was employed by the prince. The prosecutor who represented the prince hunted up these cases and mothier and daughter were arrested, At the trial the girl told the whole story. She told the magistrate that her mother was perfectly innocent of the fraud and the whole blame rested upon her, The magistrate might do as he pleased with her, hut if he would.be 50 Kind as not to send her mother to lie on the plank bed, which would kkill her, she would be thankful. The vounger prisoner further told the mag- istrate thut for the past four yoars she had struggled to keep her sick father and mother. Her futher was now dead and her mother very ill. She had known great privations and had seen her father and mother with scarcely any food to cat. The magistrate held the prisoners tor trial, but released the mother on her own recogunizance. - - The presence of I, I, othern in the Twin Cities reminds the Pionecr P of a story a gentleman named Trow hridge used to tell about the baptism of “Lord Chumley.” Trowbridge, when voung Sothern was a baby, lived oppo- site 15, A, Sothern’s residenco in New York city. One sunny summer morn- ing he saw the elder Sothern rush out of the house und to an Episcopal church near by, He wus gone afew minutes, hurried back and into his house, again reappered and again ran to the church, all his movements the very opposite of what one would expect of the dawdling Lord Dundreary.

THE DANGER OF “REVERSION." Beets Should noe b Exposed to the Sun or Overheated—Value ot Clover — Gross-Breeding Foultry tir Market, Bects for Sugar. Written for the Bee, It1s now generally believed that the coil of the Missouri valley is particular- ly well adanted to the growing of beets for sugar. The numerous sugar tests, large and small that have been made with beets grown in Nebraska are al- most conclusive evidence of this. But the growing of beets for sugar and the handling of them so that sugar can be secured from them is a work requiring knowledze and skill at every step. Huvirg a suitable soil for growing beets rich in sugar itis necessary to plant a strain of seeds in which the su- e quality has been developed. The beet sugar industry has had a great re vival in France since P’rof. Ville of the experiment station has developed a strain of beets, & method of selecting seed beets and of fertilizing by which the percentage of beets hus been dou- bled in the last fifteen years. The gro ing of seed for sugar beets is not develope heve and no sced should be planted except imported French grown seed of ap- proved selection till we get a domestic supply of seed that has been grown in the best way. The time and method of planting the seed and quantity of seed per ncre are the same that ave required in growing beets for stock food. 1t is recommended by some writers that the beets be planted 10 drills cighteen inches apart. Such writers get their experience in cultivation out of books printed in Ger- many where the only tools are the spade and hoe. Americans must grow beots, if they grow them at all, with horse power cultivation. The rows, therefore, must be planted far enough part to admit a horse cultivator. This will necessitate planting thirty inches or more apart. Noattempt shouid be made to cultivate with the rows closer than two feet. The soil must be plowed deep and prepared for the seed in the most perfect manuer. For, un- less this is doae, the early cultivation cannot be such-us will eradicate the weeds, and weedsand sugar in beets don’t grow together. Theve is one point in cultivating t is all important: that the beet root must be grown under ground. If the soil is raked away from the top of the beet the action of the sun causes “‘reversion” olethe sugar to take place and the beet is ruined for sugar making. The beet row can be hilled up suceessfully with almost any of the cultivators now in use, but should be gone over with the hoe and trimmed up where the cultiva- tor has done imperfect work. Harvesting of the beetsgshould be be- gun carly in September, and the beets should, if possible, be drawn to the factory asfastus dug. There is a horse machine made for harvesting beets, but they can bo quickly dug hy going once on each side of the row with a common plow and throwing the furrow trom the row. then spading the roots out with a common potato spade. In harvesting beets care must be taken not to leave them long exposed to the hot sun or to pile them up in large piles where they will be exvosed to chang of temperature. Either condition will sause sugar ‘‘reversion” to take place and render the beet valueless for sugar, If they must be stored they should be pitted in lots not exceeding a ton. Any treatment which causes a quantity of beets to heat. be it ever so little, causes “reversion.” ¢ beets for sugar th In Germany, where beet production has prospered very well, and where cultivation is carvied to the highest perfection, the average product of sugar beets is a little over thirteen tons per acre. Fora number of y it re- quired cleven pounds of beets to make one pound of sugar, but improved seed has changed the proportion till now eight and one-half pounds of beets make one pound of sugar. The German sugar factoric have a capacity of only about 24000 tons each, during tho season; and so each factory can handle the product of less than two thousand acres. In Calitornia several crops of sugar beets have vielded an average of twenty-one tons per acre and were grown at an esti- mated cost ot $51 per acre. It is.the custom of sugar beet fuc- tovies to buy the beets at so much per ton, with the grower to guarantee the beets to yield a certuin per cent of sugar. 1 ersion” wkes place, or Ly any other accident the beets do not come up to the standard, the farmer suffers the loss, It is this phase of sugar beet growing which makes it im- perative that the farmev handle his beet crop throughout the season with skill and intelligence, keeping the one idea of sugar production always in view. Clover 1s King. Cotton was acknowledged king of all the agricultural prodactions up to about the year 1860, During the war the prices of wool ruled so high that wool was admitted to be king of farm pro- ducts, rom the year 1870 to 1880 wheat waus crowned king and thousands of acres of rich pruifie soils were bro- ken up and sown to wheat, From 1850 to 1890 corn seemed to be the most prot- itable farm ecrop to raise and —w crowned king by the western farmers, The rich soils of the western prairvies produced large and profitable crops with but little expense for cultivation and placing on the market, but the price of corn now rules 80 low with so many other things workivg against its profit- able production that it must soon yield up its crown, The time will soon come when the crown will have to he placed on the head of clover, suys the New Englund Farmer. [t is easily raised, the seed costs but little; it costs but little to pre- are the ground for its reception. There is as much certainty of securing a good stand as with any other crop if sown early enough in the season. It makes'thé finest and best pasturage if not turned on to o mukes all kind of farm stock, Possibly horses may be excopted by some horsemen; but it is doubtful if a healthy horse was ever injured by eating well-cured clo- ver hay, Clover enriches the soil, and every field raising a crop of clover is continually increasing in fertility, Its long tap roots ryn down deep into the soil and bring to surfuce moisture and mineral fertilizers; while its broad leaves absorb moisture, free nitrogen and other fertilizing gases that are freely distributed throughout the at- mosphere from aying vegetation young; it the best and most nutritious hay fc he deuble benefit by increasing fts own growth and purifying the atmosphere. Swort Cream Butter, At this time the question is regard to churning sweet cream. 1 will state that last January [ tried six ex- periments. Three with ripened cream and three with eream perfectly sweet, Weighed the milk carefully that was set for churning oy each trial, and the re- sult was that in every case I gotas much sed in butter from the swoot cream as I did from the riponed croam, says o writer in Hoard’s Dairyman. In each trial 1 put into the cream before churning a half pound of Liverpool salt to the amount of cream that would make tweive pounds of butter, The salt has a chemical effect upon the cream that causes it to liberate the butter as per- fectly a8 any process of churning will. am that is sweet and salted in the manner above will churn as easily as when acidified. To got the best result from the churn the buttermilk should not be abov 60= Fahrenheit when the churning done. Will the sweet cream butter keep? Yes, it will keep long enough in winter time to be all eaten up in this market, and command the highest mar- ket price. Then why go to the trouble of souring cream if one can get as much butter and can sell all he can make ot the highest market price by churning sweet cream? I have a dairy of sixty cows,make but- ter six months and cheese €ix month Never sold butter for less than 25 cents perpound. I have been at the business for twenty years. If I mukeany change it will be to get an extractor. Cross-Bred Poultry for the Marke:. The most successful market poultry is that which is obtained by proper crossing. And what branch of the bus- iness pays so well as that which sap- plies the le of the rich and the poor? There is profit in beeeding fancy fowls after a reputation has been achicved, but that costs money and time. Market poultry needs no reputation. Al it re- quires is good common sense, and enough experience to run the business, suys a writer in the American Agricul- tuvist. The average farmer has these. The writer has been severely criti cised by some fancy breeders for his stand on crosses, but, as his aim is to benefit the market, he feels justified in his position. Besides, there is plenty of room for both fancy and mariet poul- try. We nced the fancier, by all means. We cannot produce crosses without pure-breds. There are two great points desired in the breeding. of poultry —an increased production of eggs, and improvement for the table. These are the legiti- mate grounds which justify eross-breed- ing. In crosses we combine quality with size, as for example, Houdan on Cochin or’ Brahma, or Cochin on Dor ing. This latter cross is after the En- glish fashion. They take a good tyo- year-old Cochin cock and mate with six good Dorking hens of a year old. The puilets of the cross arc next season mated with game, and- their produce is then marketed. Thus they gain size from the Cochin, and quality from the Dorking. By the game cross very little in size 1s sacrificed, while another first- rate cross in point of quality, is added. An Englishman, referring to this cross, once d The flesh is white as snow, and as savory as any aldermanic gour- mand could desir It must be under- stood, however, that nothing is gained by mating the progeny. Cross-bred birds should never be mated. togethe When me make the cross we nave the ideal of our experiment; beyond that there is a downward tendenc ‘We do not believe any grea can be obtained in mating for incrensed egg production, That is, no cross can be secured that will give n higher egy record than that which some of our noted strains now have. [t is princi- paily for an improvement of table gual- ity that we recommend inter-breeding. Care of Brood Sows. Those who are to have carly litters of spring pigs must give the brood sows proper foot and trentment duving the winter months. The first requisite is good shelter and a clean, wholesome sleeping place. The next is_a reason- able amount of liberty. It will not do to keep a brood sow shutup continu- ously in a small pen, even if itis lkept veusonubly clean. She will become sluggish and inert, with none of the vigor and muscular stamina needed to produce and rear healthy pigs.
