The murderer has bad a fair trial.— He has been defended by able counsel. Despite the excited state of the com¬ munity where be was tried, there wa« ; no effort on the part of anybody to an- j ticipatc the action of tlie court. The j defendant was not even .menaced.— | Quietly, decorously, and with even a jealous regard for hi- rights, Hie court proceeded day rfter day to investigate : the question of bis guilt.

A great deal ffW&cn ■‘aid, bv way of censure, about ilic failures outlie farm : much of it may hAjtut, the great or part of it is undue. A certain amount ot failure is expected and sure \ to c* mo in every pursuit and every ; profession. We do not believe farmers, as a rule, are the least successful as compared to all other classes of busi- j ness men. It must be remembered that ; lifty-ono per cent, of our people areen gaged in agriculture, and whilst the actual number of l ail it res may be greater than in oilier pursuits, it is mujb let*. as compared with any otli cr one business, and actually icss a* i compared to all other pur-t.it- com billed. The ratio of failures, then, is ; apparent than real. Farmers must iiefes-arily I'urni-h food supplies f„r themselves and the thirty millions 1 ot people who are not farmers. If this I were all. their business might be made I prosperous in receiving the value of their eiop*Jn the markets, but a large i class of non-producers not only dr.tw i their sustenance from farmer bu I -peculate upon their ignorance and lack of business iutoi maiiou by cheap eti ing the proiluets of the farm''ami in- ; creasing the price of its purchases. Farmers can y, in Hie largest meas¬ ure, the burden’s of trade, bu-iness and ex^nmw of the government; to bear u .j,| 10Ilt a giagr^,,-, under genet a j depro-ioa and a good amount of >ppr< s-!on. is more than luiinan vn »t|i t - a n do.

Of the blacks the Essex is the prettiest hog of them all—a mod. el of grntlene-s and quictue-s, always fat, no matter how kept, and his intlu euce on the progeny of the common sow is unequaled by anY other male, But the breed is rather small, and the pure breed pigs do not stai'l very well. The Berkshire is well known. His blood courses in the veins of thousands j of good hogs all over the land. Any-j where can Im* heard the remark, “part \ Berkshire,” as ample proof that a hog | is n good one. But with his many good i points — not forgetting that most ex-1 ‘‘client meat—be is loo much inclined to be mischievous and even vicious. ai,, l * s “°t to he tolerated where ranges j ami fences arc not first-class, and where j they cannot be kept from tin: stock. “ i The Poland Chinas arc not generally 1 known. It is a spotted hog, and is somewhat coarser than the entire blacks, but has all their good points, and a*?aiti-t is free the from other the breeds. objections They that are lie j j lai 'g“, .'ft. as the E*sex, almost any sort of fence will control them The sows arc most excellent mothers.

Some writers insist that maize, or i Indian corn, was known in the early history of the world to the Chinese founding their theory on drawings of a similar grain in ancient Chinese manuscript. If this were true, the culture of grain was wholly lost in I later years. There has been much discussion on the subject. The valua ‘ . ble . work, .

As to the present existing . . j varieties of corn, it may be noted that the maize plant is affected in a re- j markable degree by el.mate and soil,! and a local variety can be established j at any time by the selection and con timious sowing lor a few years, of seed showing any striking peciilarity.
