Beewith waa hatred at the Court House in this city, at nice minutes past tea this morning, lor th murder cf Simon Vander coo, at Acsterlifc, on the 10:h of January, lhi-2. This case has become celebrated, from the fact that the condemned man had been sentenced to death six times. He has had two Uials and his cue has been twice passed npoa by the general term of En creme Court and Court cl Appeals, and finally application was made tathsCJj; rncr fcr rxfcatire clemercy. which was denied. Ikckwitii slept from 10 o'c'oci nrjt'.l early thia morning. At 4 o'clock this morning Eeckwith arose frjm his bed, and atandicg npon his feet, glaucei aboct his cell and again laid down ant slept until morning light peered throug'a his grated wir.dof7. At 7 o'clock the prisoner arose feeling refreshed arter the night of rut, such aa no man under Bentenca of death, save Oscar F. Deckwith, could have pateed tbroogh. He said the fact was easiiy understood, as he was "used to tronoJe." Ikckwith lived alone in a small one-story tnt in the town ot Ansterlüz. Columbia County. It was on the side of a mountain, where he believed there was a gold mine. Finally a company purchased the lind in the vicinity, including the lot on which was erected BeckwitL'e little home. Vndercock was selected as the manager of the property. From that time Be ik with entertained a hatred for Vandercook. The supposed mine was cot worked by the company, but Eeckwith entertained a fear that the object of the purchase was to driye him from the neighborhood. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning cf the 10th of Januvy Vandercock left his boarding place and went in the direction of Beckwith's cabin. lie was seen to enter it and that was the last seen of him alire. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day Beckwith went over to the Calkins farm house and informed Mrs. Calkins that Vandercock had gone oil with a man from Green River for tha purpose of organizing a stock company and would not be back for at least two months, That same evenin Mr. Calkins went to Backwith'e cabin and, on opening the door, found Beckwith engaged ic doing something at the stove, whicl was red hot. The neit day neither Beckwith nor Vandercock was seen in the vicinity. Oq January 12 snsplcions became aroused, and a party of tenons headed by an officer went to rtectwith's cabin and broke in the door. The dead body of Vandercock lay upon the üoor minus one arm, afoot and some other portions. Three years passed without any tidings Of his whereabouts. Detectiyes, however, kept up the search, and In the month of Ftbrnary, ls.3. be was found engage 1 in wood chopping in a wild section of the Province of Ontario, Canada. In the course of time he was extradited and brought to Hudson for trial. The tritl bepan on Nov. l'J, 1S35. and lasted four dnys. He was found guilty of murder la the first degree and sentence'! to be hanged on Jan. 8, lbsc. The case was taken to the General Term, which confirmed the verdict of the lower court, and he was sentenced to be hanged, the day for execution being July 'Z. An appeal was taken tj the Court of Appeals, which likewise affirmed the conviction, and the date of Backwith'g execution was fixed for the third time. The prisoner's counssl, Levi F. Lorgley, then moved for a new trial, on the ground of newly discovered evidence, and Judge Charles K. Ingalla granted the same on the affidavits presented. Appeals were taken to both the General Term anu Court of Appeals by the prosecuting attorney, wno opposed Jndge Ingall'a order granting a new trial. The second trial was commenced on Feb. 2, 1S87, but in the mean time the prisoner's counsel asked for the appointment of a commission In lunacy to examine into Beckwlth'a sanity. The commission, after hearing the testimony of several physicians and experts, pronounced him sane, and a second jury, after a week's trial, found him guilty cf the crime with which ha was charged. The fourth day set for his execution waa March 24, 1887. The case then went to the General Term for a aecond time, with no better result than before, and be waa sentenced for the fifth time to be hanged, the day set for the execution being October 14. The Court of Appeals was again resorted to, bat soon all bop was lost, and the old man, almost tottering by the grave, waa sentenced to be executed on Thursday, March 1. An appeal waa then made for executive clemeccy, for commutation of sentence to life imprisonment. Governor Hill gave a hear Id a: to the prisoner's counsel on Friday, February 21, but f nallyrefused to interfere. If anybody wants the daintiest kind of a cover for the center of a dinner table, her dreams would be realized by an embroidery of whit on white. It is a square of about thirty inches of the finest, silvery silken linen. All over it is a Spanish design wrought in white fiosselle. Nearly every known embroidery stitch is brought together In forming this pattern, yet so skillfully art they applied and so successfully harmonized that an entire and perfect eflect has been achieved. The doyliea that go with this are enough to make the daintest housewife feel larcenous, if she Jbaw't mosey la fcf r pocket to bay them.

Cor Cwltore. 1 Cnicago Tim es. J Daring the past two years ao many differ ent and col flic ting recommendations have been raade In relation to the planting and cultivation of eorn that young farmers are in greater dcubt about how to perform th tee operations than before any thing had been published on the subject. Some have advocated -plaoticg corn In drills, and others in bills, and each class has reported lare crops as the result of their peculiar method -of putting in seed. A few have advocated dropping corn on the bottom of a furrow, covering the Eeed about an inch deep, and throwing the soil against the young plants as they increase in height. Tbej claim that the roots of corn do not of their own accord penetrate the soil to any uittai.ee, but tbai the stalks throw out lattrals above tbe level at which the steJ WfcP planted. By planting deep and drax H'g earth abou'. Ihr; s'alki they claim that they etcoursge tee lormutlon ot roots (bat tui'piy nutriment, and k?rp the stalks from btirg blown down. A fear others rave advised pntting tbested cn the too of ile protfbd, while me majority of write-8 have counte'ed putting it between these tw f xtiemefc an li.ch or incie below the icrficc. As much conflicting advice has been ?mn concerting the proper cultivation of corn as about planting the seed. Somo have recommended level and others hill cuHuie. A few have stated that no cutti vation ib required, except to prevent the rrowth of grass and weeds. They have stated that the soil should not be disturbed more than an Hen below the surface for fear of doing injury to the roots. They would let the soil severely alone, or would only disturb it with a view to preventing the growth of weeds. O.hers, on the contrary, would pive It no more rebt than the small boy ordinarily hascn a farm where several mm are employed, iney would ran a light harrow over the ground before the corn plants make their appearance. They would use the harrow sgaia as eoon as the plants are two or three inches high. When the rows are distinctly marked they wtuM beein to ue tbe cultivator, and would cont'nne o employ it till the stalk was three or four feet h'gb. They would then put in a plow atd throw furrows against tbe hiws from all sides. They would con tit ue to use the plow till ears are formed on tue sts'ÄS A Mbsouri farmer who claims to have railed very large crops of corn for a serirs of years on somewhat cold clayey land, rever8s this raetbod of colli vation. Ueusss first tt-e plow, then the cultivator, and last, of all the barrow. He rnns furrows between tbe rows as toon es the corn is a few inches high, so as o allow the sun to warm the eoil and to afhrd drain sie in the earlv pert of tbe season when tbe ground is likely to be quite moiit. Af cr tbe soil iqciite dry and warm he eubetitutes thecaltivatcr for the plow and us?s it till th stalks of corn are about knee high. H. thinks its employment after that time is irjuriou, as the cultivator teeth cut od the roots of tbe corn and often become ckyged up with them. He is not a believer in the roof-pruning system as applied 'o corn, and accordingly he fioishes up hii culture witu a barrow. Tbis prevents tbe growth of grass and weeds, stirs the surface toil, tupplits a dust mulch which retards evaporation and does not injnre the roots of tbe plants, which he thinks should not be disturbed. The question of the deep cr shallow culture of corn received great attention throughout the West during the last season. As in other things, there is the widest difference of opinion in regard to the matter. Borne have held that the imj pit merit that works the sail should pene trate it out a lew lncaes, for the reason that it Injures or destroys the root of tie corn. ut others contend that great bsio fit results from root prunning it. These differences of opinion on the part of f roiers who profess to raise large crops of c rn are probably due to the circumstance tht they write from sections of the country having pecular soil that must be treated in a certain manner to produce the b ct results. Communications on the subject of the preparation of land for a crop of corn, the method of planting, and the mode of cultivation are solicited. In giving methods and reporting results it is desirable to have farmers state tbe variety of, corn they raise, the character of the soil they till, and the length of the growing season in the localities where they live, A large corn crop is greatly needed this teason, and a presentation of what each farmer knows on the subject referred to will do much toward securing it. Indiana Live Mock, In bis report npon the number and value of farm aEirosls, etc , the Commissioner of Agriculture ays of Indiana: "The scarcity ot focd, occasioned by drought, csussd many of the farmers to sell on a portion of their stock, in order to winter the remainder in better condition. Where tbe steck were suitable, they were fat'el and sold for slaughter, thereby placing msny more on the market than would have baen sold had the conditions been otherwise. There is no appreciable increase in tbe number of horses, the slight advance in prices being due to the fact that a large per cent, of the young horses are fromhigu grsde or Imported eires. Horsts have been free from contagious diseases during the past year. At this time all classes ot live stock are apparently In good, healthy condition. It is evident that more economy is being practiced by farmers in regard to methods of feeding stock: grinding the grain and feeding with cut hay or fodder iauming rapidly into favor. Diseases of various kinds have prevailed among tbe hoes during the past tammer and fall; yet the loss has not been as heavy as in the season of 1SSC. Farmers are not keeping as many hogs over this winter; this is on account cf high price of corn. Bnt tbe number fatted and sold or slaughtered at home will cot aggregate much less than the number similarly disposed of in 18S0." A Creamery. A creamery is not liable to be profitable unites tbe milk of at least 400 Cows can be obtained for it. The moat profitable creameries are tbo?e that receive the milk of from 800 to 1,000 cows, half of which have dropped their calves during the fall. By having a eteady supply of milk during every month in the year the creamery can be run at its full capacity all the time. When this can be done the cost of running the concern is greatly reduced, as the machinery and building are never idle and the operative can be employed by the year. The management can also sell the batter to better advantage. They can arrange with hotels, boarding-houses and private families for supplying a certain number of pounds of butter daring every week in t le year. When thia is done commissions for selling butter are saved and all the mney it brirgs gees to the producer. Few who indulge in good living will now eat old butter if they can obtain that which was recently made. The demand for frAQ butter in winter is cow so great that it Is found advisable to operate a creamery during the entire year. A creamery should be located where the ground is dry and the air pure. Milk and the butter that Is made from it will readily

absorb bad odors if there are any to take up. It should also be located where an

abundant supply oi pure water naturally exists or can be obtained by boring. The site for a creamery should have good drainage, as stagnant water will produce bad cdorr. The building should stand where it can be conveniently reached by a majority of the patrons. A large lot of lsrd is not neceesary, out mere snouia be enough to afford sufficient room to turn and to hitch teams. A location on the main road to the nearest railroad town will be of advantage to patrols, as many of them will wish to gi to tbe postofSce or station at tbe time they take their milk or cream to the factory. It is seldom necessary to pay much for a sUe for a creamery. Many farmers will give an acre of land for a creamery just in order to save the trouble of hauling their milk a considerable distance. Enriching Milk by Feeding. American Cultivator .1 There is a great natural difference in cows with regard to the richness of milk they give, and this is only partially modi Ced by feeding. Jersey cows make yellow butter and a good deal of it, according to the quantity of milk, even in winter. If the feed be drv and poor, thev will not give so much. A cow that naturally gives thin, poor milk may be made to give scmewhat better milk by giving her rich f-Od, as corn meal or oil meals. Probably if this was continued while the cow is bearing a calf the progeny will inherit this tendency o put more of the milk Into h9 cream pot. In this way our large milkers a ay in time be bred as equally remarkable fcr butter production. There is a hint in tt is fact also egainst neglecting the feed ot cows while they are dry and near droppm ' thtir ralf. It m'eht make trouble with t fir bags to feed rich cr succulent food at 'his time, but this s undoubtedly the bist way to develop gcod animals for the dairy either fcr milk or butur. To Start Swet Potatoes. Tbe sweet potato can not be planted out before what may be called good corn weather, and as this will not occur before Jnne, the middle of April is time enuugh to start tbe bed. Eighteen Inches of manure, or inst enough to give a gentle bottom heat, is sufficient, the sun under the glass doirg most of the work. After the bed is made and heat started, it is reaoy to plant, lay over tbe manure six inches of sandy soil; if all sand, just as well or better. Halve the potatoes length wite and lay flat on tbe sand they may nearly cover the ground. Sprinkle over the lop jest enougu sand to barely cover the potatoes. After the young sprou's have started their roots into this sand and the tops are about six inches high, they are slipped off, and each shoot is a plant and ready fur the ground. Oaly light, friable soil will grow them profitably. This is thrown np by the plough into ridges four feet apart. 1 he plants are dibbled out on these ridges one foot apart the cut worm oittn destroys quantities of the sets, and must be watched for, destroyed when found, and ether sets put out where needed. At least a couple of crops of sprouts can be taken from oie set of tubers, and any time in Jone will do to plant them, to there is no danger of rot bavin? plenty of p'ants. it t?ks from 8.C0O to 10 000 sets per acre, ßtable manure is the btst. Spitngand Hitter Otions For spring and early summer us, the uskbI cuttom is to depend npon what are called Eets, or the pot a toe onicn. Tbe sets cen be obtained cf any seedsman, and are a small-siztd odIod, grown expressiv for this inrpose, tbocgta such aa are not nsei for green onions will also ripen up like othtr onions in the fall. These are planted inst as soon as the frost is cut of the ground in tbe sprirg in rows a foot apirt and tw or tbrte incuts distant in the rows. By being thus thick, they can ba thinned for small green onions, and tue balance allowed to grow larger. They will Bell at from $1 25 per peck up to $7 per bushel. The silver skin are the dearest and the top or button onions the cheapest. The latter ring $4 50 per bushel and make about seven bushels to the acre. The potato onions are planted in the fall from sets, and remain in the ground all winter, being hardy. For ordinary crop ef winter onions the seed is eown in the spring ia tojvs a foot apart with a driilire machine usrd far that purpose. It takes live to tix pourds to thesre. Ihtre is no erfr,al culture different from ordinary crops. Keep down weeds with the hoe and thin oat if too thick, theee thinnirgs answering lor yourg onions. If the soil is rich and the crop too close together to peirrut free growth, tbe onions as they ripen in the fall, will crowd over each other fo there is a coatinuoua row six inches or more wide cf onions ot all atzes. Any ordinarily good soil of a friable nature is suitable for onions, and, ualike most crops, a rotation does not seem so necessary for tt eir well being, many raising them on the tame laod for year?, though of course with heavy manuring. This crop is much benefited by a thorough pulverizing of the soil, which may account for ita apparently doing so well on the same soil year after year. Large red wethersfield, yellow dan vers, and white Portugal or silver akin are the leading sorts. The latter is often sown thickly for email pickles. 11 0 RTt Cl LTV RÄ Lr. Ha. sacbusett8 men contend that apple trees left to themselves in ft rocky soil yield sound keepiLg fruit. The trees should not be forced, but rtther left to establish heir own period of maturity. Cultivate ft r a ,'ew years, enriching the soil, then allow natural development. Lest the pruning of grapevines xnay be left until too late in the spring attend to it tbe first pleasant day that comes. Evaporated fruit now finds ready sale. Fa; mere who usually allow their apples to rot on the ground should economize by evaporating them. A New York man sf nt 2.000 pounds of cherries to the city, dividing them among four commission firms. His returns varied from eight to sixteen cents a pound. The peach growers of Maryland and Delaware have decided to request the Legislatures of those States to enact laws com pelling the destruction of all trees aSected bv the "yellows." Th-. Orange County (N. Y.) Farmer thiok! that there is no danger from an overproduction of fruit, remarking that the consumption of grapes has increased faster than the supply, and that such will be the case for years to come. Onions are often put out in the month of March, as they are hardy and endare quite a severe frost. Tbe sooner they can be put out and made to rapidly grow tbe better, as they do not make rapid progress after the beginning of warm weather. Farm and Garden recommends every farmer who bnilds an ice-house to arrana for a cold storage apartment in connection With it, for the preservation of fruit, butter, etc No matter how small it is, it will be found a decided convenience. The American Grocer very pertinently inquires if the time will ever come when bukst experimenting will be divorced from politics, personal scheming and stock jobbing, ana conducted in a business like way, with a determination tobtest quickly and sorely the commercial aspects of the question? The demand for lettuce grown in winder and early spring under glass has probably doubled twice within twenty years, but tbe supply is hardly equal to the demand, owing to the attacks of the mildew, which destroys a great deal, and to other diseases Incident to high cultivation. The Alice grape ia spoken o! by the American Garden and the Orange Coantr (N. Y.) Farmer aa variety of excellent promise. It is a good grower and shipper, dark red, good flavor, eeeda few, skin thick

A small allowance of green food is highly relished by stock of all kinds at this season, but where green food is scarce a few sliced roots will eerve as a substitute. They act as an appetizer, and thereby promote health. Gow grass seed early, but if possible brush it in, eo as to slightly coyer the seed. The early growth made by a grass crop is very impcrtant, for upon the neight of the grass depends its capacity to withstand drought Bhould a dry spell come on, In mating fowls to procure eggs for hatching purposes ten hens and a male may be yarded together of the large breeds, such as brabmas, cochins and Plymouth rocks, and fourteen hens and a male of the small breeds, such aa leghorns and hamburgs. In selecting cantalopes do not aim to secure large ones for family use. The beet flavored and sweetest varieties are the small kinds, and they are also tbe earli' A Watermelons, however, should b?

Hoot thinks that if be should own a small apiary and discover foul brood in it he would burn up tbe whole business rather than endeavor to experiment in curing the disease. I! the larva be elastic and ropy it is a sure indication of foul brood. This is a sure test, but the odor is not to be relied upon. It is not eafe to suddenly change the focd of cows from tbe dry bay and grain to an exclusively green diet. If rye shall come in for pasturing allow the cows but a few n. Inn tea apon it the first day, gradually extending the time every day thereafter until they shall become accustomed to the green food. In thia manner maybe avoided bowel diseases and a falling oil of milk. The new strawberry bed should be pre pr.d as soon as the weather will permit. Tbe young plants should be set out in rows early, to as to get the benefit oi the

spring rales. Dry winds and lack oi moisture cause some of the plants to perJtb, and the more growth made by the time the warm daya shall come on ? better it will be for runners and plants in rows. Mm. AdftMartln.of Charlton. Iowa, says:

"To prevent cholera in poultry dissolve copperas in water and sprinkle the'premisea with it. feeding a little salt and bread soda in the soft food, scalding the ground grain when mixing it." Bhe never feeds on the ground. Her preference is yellow-legged fowls. A pound of copperas in two gallons of water is an excellent disinfectant. The Woman's Journal of Boston, Mass., reports Mrs. A. Hills, of Skowheeau Falb, Wis., as a successful bee keeper, her stock ) in three years having Increased from two colonies to forty-one, and the surplus bonev. after enough had been sold to pay all ccsts, averaging eighty-two pounds per colony. Mrs. Hills feels justified in thinkirg that bee-keeping is a good business for women. Tobacco Is another exce'rlent Insectcida and ought to be more used, la many places the stems can be obtained free at clear manufactories, and they make an excellent, inseorepelling mulch tor various plants, as well as beiDg of value as a fertilizer. A strong decoction of tobacco made by soaking the stems in water, or bollir g them, is effective in killing plantlice, red epiders and many other similar pests. Prairie Farmer. An advocate of corn-fed 'pork admits that the hog fed miscellaneously has tbe sweetest and tenderest meat, and if tas'.e be a criterion in pork as it is reckoned to be in everything else that is eatable, the fruit-fd anal milk-fed pork is certainly best. But he adds that if greater firmnecs be desired it may be had by finishing off tte last few weeks of fattening by feeding corn meal, net corn in the ear. Tte seeds of carrots and parsnips are very flow in germinating, and to this cant e is due the failure on the part of some farmers to grow those crops. The seed should be sown early, so aa to have tbe youDg plants make some headway before the grass shall begin to grow thickly, or hand weeding must be resorted to. It would be best to use plenty of seed, planting them in "stools" about six inches apart in the rows, and thin out the surplus plants after they shall be up. Fowls all roost high, and if the nests are placed up against the walls, at a distance above the floor, the hens will roost in them at night and soon make them tilth v. UUti nests breed lice, for the heat of tbe hens' bodies on the nest all night will hatch out lice plentifully. Tbe nests should be down on the ground and so arranged that they can be taken ont of the poultry house to be cleaned. There are in America over i 000,000 firm?, l6rpe and iruall. They cover nearly 20,CC0.CO0 acres of improved land, and their total value is something like $10,000,000.000. These figures, are not, of course, very compiebensible. They simp'y convey the idea of vastness of area and equal yastness of importance. Tbe estimated valoe of to? yearly products of these f Arms Is batireeu $2.000,000.000 and $3,0U0 000,000. Tte test remedy for roup is (ogive tV bird a pill of assafetida as large as a bsn twice a day, and to inject at the Simetiuitwo drops (using eewicg machine oil cao) of tbe following mixture, in each nostril and four drops down the throat Bromocblorslum, one dram; wMer, one dram: carbolic acid, ten drops.

At this season fowls like to pick fresh meat benes, and alto to eat ground bones. Here is a good warm breakfast for forty fowls: BoilaheapiDg half peck of potatoes, mash them, add one quart each of shorts and bran, a tablespoonful each of salt and pepper; add hot water enough to mix into a stiff dough. Hens that are layicg may bi liberally fed on a variety, as the prjductim of eggs will cause the appropriation of all the food to that purpose; but hens not laving must be ft d sparirgly, or they will bscome too fat and fail to lay. A pound of nitrogen has been estimated to be worth 21 cents. Measured by this standard a ton of poultry manure is worth about $10 or one-balf cent a pound for its nitrogen alone, but it also possesses additional value for ita phosphates Every poultry house should hare a feed box. It tares food, and it is a very poor plan to throw the food, more especially tha soft food, in the dirt or In shallow dishes. The latter are liable to be upset and the contents trampled under foot and wasted. Besides it docs not show the true spirit of the fancier. The common practice, says a poultry au thority, is to breed from the best laying hens in the floclr, which is a very good one; but it isjnst as important o becarefal in using the best laying bens from which to bre cd for roosters, as in that way the prolificacy of a flock ia increased on both sides. It may require several years of careful f eJf ction to thus improve the flock, but it can be done, and each season will give evi dencea of the improvement. STOCK NOTES. Bheep heartily relish clover hay at this season. France now has a swine plague, which her f dentists are investigating, and it may te that she will soon be glad to get American poik. The best time to feed coarse, carbonaceous food plentifully is during the coldest weather, and then it needs a supplement of the finer foods furnishing the albuminoids. A certain proportion of animal heat must be created daily from the food, ox that stored aa fat In the body will be resorted to In order to counteract the effect of cold. There is no "standstill" In the matter, aa animals are either losing fleih

or gaining. Every pound lost causes a real loss of two, as the time aud expense of regaining that which is lost will ba doubled, A great waste on any farm is the care aad

The cost of corn for simoly keeping the fcegsot the United States warm has been estimated at $75,000,000, that being the difference between fattening the hogs in cold weathtr and in cummer. Every attention Bhould be given the young lambs as they are born, and the warmest place on the farm ia not too hot for them now, as tbey should be forced in growth, so as to reach the market early in order to realize the high prices. A single diseased animal may entail a loss in a commnnity amounting to tnousanda of dollars. It cost Missouri $1.000,000 and ten months time to 6tamp out pleuro-pneumonia, while the loss to Ihs cattlemen of Kentucky has reached fully $2,000,000. The truly beef cow is a small and brief milker, often failing to give support for her calf, and the ultimatum is reached when the beef type actually undermines the function of motherhood and promise the obliteration of a beefy family, while motherhood, in its broadest and mot com plete sens e, is the predominant trait of the dairy cow.
