- SHARE FARMING. _ The.monthly report published by the Department of Agriculture for July contains, in addition to its usual full reports concerning the condition of home and foreign crops, an entertaining and valuable article on usages in share farming. It will prove of value to farmers, and ought to interest readers of every eclass. © The report is in the shape of correspondence from various sections, the reprints-in some instances being given very fully. In the New England States the element of taxation is of special importance, and landlords, as far as possible, secure this as one of the points in the contract. ~ The tenant, in most cases, pays half of the taxes, seed .and repairs, and receives half the crops. In some cases he furnislies half the working stock. In other cases he is entitled to half the growth of young stock, which is somefimes commuted in cash.

On hay farms in New Hampshire, the owner of the land often receives two-thirds of the crop; on account of the smaller amount of labor réequired by grass crops. In some parts of Connecticut the tenant receives the value of h‘is‘sha,re. of the erop in'money, but generally he is left fo market his produce. o o :

In the MMiddle States the same usages prevail in large sections. The tendency to share equally in the proceeds and expensés of agriculture is more generally coupled with thé require‘ments to furnish, in whole ‘or part, the working stoclk, tools,. seed, and sometimes “the fertilizers used. .In some, distinction is made between plowed crops, hay and fruit; the landlord gets one-third of the former and half the latter. Tenants are-generally allowed to keep their own cattle and sheep,, feeding them from their own share of the crops. . When the tenant is unable to stock the farm.or to furnish implements; he gets but a third of the produce in some counties.. Thé ,stibpu]ation in regard to taxes is. seldoim noted in this section. 3

- On the Atlantic coast, a tendency is* observable to arrange the share problem into three distinet elements, allowing a third of the’ produce as the rental of the bare land, a third to pay for the usg of stock, tools, Tertilizers, ete., and the remaining third to com-pensate-the labor of production. Theparty furnishing all the machinery, stock, ete., thus enjoys two-thirds of the proceeds. Yet this usage is siubjeet to local variation. T

I some places in Virginia the bare land is (irst allowed one-fourth of the proceeds as rent, and the remainder is divided between the landlprd and tenant -in -the proportion in which they have each contributed to stock and furnish “the farm. Some landlords demand from one-third to twofifths of the'grain crops and one-half of the *hay, even though thé tenant. may ]m\'é stocked the farm. Differcnt classes of land also receive different amounts of rent. For instance, in North Carolina, valley land vents for one-half, while Lill sides- bring oulyttwo-thirds of the cyop. ~Again, a distinction is made in régard to d-iﬁgﬁe‘rl—-ent erops; land in corn yields a third of the produce to the landlord; Wwhile in cotton he obtains one-fourth. If the laridlord furnishes the whole or a po‘rtf@n of the stock, tools, ete., his share is proportionately inereased. In some parts of South Carolina cottonlands are rented for a specific damount of cotton, varying from sixty to-one hundred pounds per acre. In the rice districts of (}e()rgia'lzmd is sometimes rented for seven pounds of rice per acre. . -, - = :

Passing to the Gulf States, we find sharei farming comparatively little practéceﬂ in Florida, but where it is recoghized, it is generally on terms very similar to those stated for the Carolings and Georgia. . The same distinetion between corn and cotton, with occasional leases, payable in specificamounts of cotton per acre—from eighty to one hundred pounds. In Alabama, some counties discourage the share system, and seek to bring agriculture, as far as possible, to the wages standard. In some counties in Mississippi the shai‘e system ils increasing. -Here a distinction is’ sometimes made between sharers and renters. The former receive a certain portion of the crop, the latter pay a speecific rent per acre. in cotton or corn. In many parts of the State, however, there is a growing dissatisfaction with the system, and a disposition to treat tenants on the basis of renters rather than sharers. In-Louisiana this feeling prevails in even a greater degree, and in many parts the system is being abandoned. And Texas belongs in the same list, though the system‘is more in use than in most of the other Southern States. Efforts are being made to have a system of specific rent ;nsteadZ or to supercede it by hired lahot. e 3

InTennessee and Arkansas the same rule prevails ‘as in other p‘orﬁoﬁs of the cotton States. Land without stock or implements is rénted for a third of the grain and a fourth of 'the cotton crop; but fhe quality of the land sometimes varies this rule; rich river-bot-toms return one-half the product for the land alone. Tlf the owner furnishes stock, tools, and seed, he gets from one-half to two-thirds of the crops. The effort to supercede the share system by substituting hired labor is resisted by the sharers, wwlio‘,'de_sire to be master of their own time, and hence prefer the share contract system, which leaves them at theit own disposal.. In a few cases land is rented for a specific price per acre, either in money or produce. In the sections of the inland Southern States, outside of the cotton region, bare land rents at one-third to one-half its produce, according to its location and quality, but if the landlord furnishes and stocks the farm, his portion is from oone-half to two-thirds of the crop, In sagis e i

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1875.

the tobacco counties of Kentucky, the landlord frequently claims half the crop as a consideration for the use of land, and in some localities de is entitled to half’the wheat crop. f ‘- North of the Ohio River -the proceeds of cultivation are divided with reference to the three elements, axjxd stock, ete., and labor, but not always in equal proportions. The land '(lra\i\'s from one-third to two-fifths; in some cases hay or other crops, requiring a smaller amount of labor, or where already seeded, pay a rent ‘of one-half. . Where the landlord stocks the ~far:m and furnishes seed and tools, his portion varies from one-half to two-thirds of the erop.. In somé older counties in Ohio and this State land rents at from three to ten dollars per acre. The cash system is also becoming common in parts of fl]inois. i

When the corn is divided in the field the landlord often gets half, but if in the granary, aftershelling, he is content with one-third. ‘ |

The usages of the region just vd:‘gv seribed, in reﬁard-to share farming, are re-produced in the States west of the Mississippi River with only minor and -local variations. - Occasionally there is a stipulation that the tenant shall keep up the fence repairs, which seems to betray a New England. origin.” In older settled districts lands rent for a sp,ieciﬁc sum per acre-in money.’ é : On the, Pacific coast the practice of renting: llmd for money is more common than in the Fastern States. In California the rents vary from one to ten dollars per acre. Where share farming exists, the owner seldém gets over- one-fourth of the crop for the bare land. -The-grain is delivered to the landlord in sacks ready for shipment. ‘ln Oregon the land generally nets to its owner ‘about one-third of its produce.” - 1 e The Fewish New Year. | Different nations commence their year at different times. Some nations commence their year in the spring; some in mid summer; while others approach more closely to us, namely on January Ist. . ! The: Jewish New Year is Sept. 30th, and the following account of it fs taken from the Chicago 7'ritune, of Wednesday of last week: . il “According to - Jewish tradition the world has now been revolving around its axis exactly 5,635 years and this evening with the setting of* the sun will enter upon the 5,636 th year. The Ist day of the month of.Tishri, or Rosh Hashone, as the Jews call their ‘New Year, is commenced by them with solemn thoughtsgeand the.ceremonies and religious exercises. at ‘the synagogues during the'first two days are of a very imposing nature, and no work of any kind is permitted to bedone. But besides, the first ten days are set apart as days of repentance; one for each commandment, to investigate whether any of them have been violated. during the past yean, and, if so, to, repent. The tenth day. is called the Day of Atonement (Yom Kepur), the holiest of all the Jewish. holidays. On this day the orthodox Jew partakes of neither. food nor water, and" withdraws entirely from worldly cares, devoting himself wholly to prayer’ and religious exercises. Even those who for a whole year neglect the duties of their religion, close their places of business on this day, and attend religious worship at the synagogues. ‘Four days after £his, on the 14th day of the month of Tish1, the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). begins. On this day the Jews are commanded to live in tabérnacles, the ceilings of which are hung with ‘choice speciniens of the country’s produe. - This is a feast of joy, and . lasts cight days, the first and the last two ‘being full holidays. It had its origin in the fact that after having repented and made peace with God and man, there was much” cause for joy. At the same time it commemorates the successful harvesting of the season’s -crop,” hence the display of fruits and other produce in the tabernacle. |

T T O R o LAo * Was Shell Innocent? | s Last week we published the pnrt‘iiculars of a foul murder near Béllefontaine, .Ohio, and of the subsequent Ilaliging, Ly inceunsed citizens, of the supposed murderer. Shell, the accused, stoutly denied his gult, saying that his wife had committed the fiendish deed, being prompted by jealousy of the lady. The lynchers though put bat little confidence in his forced c’dn-‘ fession, and the people generally looked upon him-as the guilty person. But within the last few days, certain facts have come to light that makes it highly probable that his story had truth in it and that the self constitut‘ed executioners are guilty of a terrible murder. -Schell’s children—the oldest seven years old—who were with the parents in the thicket, have told their story, seriously if not directly pointing to the mother as’the ,mm'dere'j}r.' Public opinion—the same that hastened one person already into eternity on short; notice—is now directed against the woman, and it was necessary to remove her out of the county to save her from summary punishment. If the last stories are true, it proves the woman to be a perfect fiend in human form, to inflict such a terrible vengeance upon a;’}persone—and that her husband—undéer the exciting influence of jeztlousy. : i : Lo

: Learn -About the Pulse. | Every intelligent person should know how to ascertain the State of the pulsé in health; then by comparing it with what it is when he is ailing, he may have some idea of the urgency of his case; Parents should know the healthy pulse of each child —as now and then a person is born with a peculiar slow or fast pulse, and the case in hand may be of that peculiarity. An infant’s pulse is 140; a child of 7 years, about 80; and from 20 to 60 years-it is 70 beats a minute, declining to 60 at four score. A healthful- grown person’s pulse beats 70 times in a. minute. There may bé good health down to 60; but if the pulse always exceeds 70 there is a disease. The machine is wearing out; there is a fever or inflamation soniewhere, and the body is feeding on itself—as in consumption, when the pulse is quick, that is, over 90, gradually increasing with decreased chances of cure until- it reaches 110, or 120, when death comes befmman?édﬁ

~° WHO CHANGED SIDES? . The editor of the Columbia City Post is very savage in the denu’ncia.-.r tion of Carl Schurz for raising his voice against the Ohio inflationists, and for standing by the declarations of the Democracy in 1872. Of course, the Post does not tell its readers what Mr. Schurz-said in his masterly ad‘dress; that would be contrary to its -mode of dealing -with ' those who do ‘not accept its notions ds conclusive or as the true faith. The Post annihi‘lates the digt'mguishéd orator with flings of which fh’e subjoined is a fair sample: e “If- this modern Moses, possessed a scintilla of consistency he would not now, although differing with the Democrats of Ohio on the financial question;: aid and abet in the success of the Radical party whose record on this very. questiont he has so fiercely assailed not six manghs ago.” : We propose to let Mr. Schurz speak for himself, ‘and our readers can then judge how faithfully his position is represented by. the Post. Mr. Schurz said in his Cincinnati speech: ‘ Before proceeding to discuss the issues of this contest, I owe you a preliminary statement of a personal nature. lam told that my appearance in this campaign has been represented -as part of a concerted pian to lead the independent voters of the country into the ranks of the Republican party, and to commit them to . the support of its candidates in the Presidential election of 1876. . The ‘story is an idle invention.. I know of ‘no such plan. If it existed, I would. ‘not be a party toit. Theindependent votersihave minds of their own, and I ‘respeet them 400 much to believe that ‘they can be transferred, to this or that ‘side by:any individual or combination -of individuals. DBesides, I not only ‘do not seek to commit danybody else as tao the Presidential election of 1876, ‘but I do not mean to commit myself. I reserve to myself entire freedom of judgment on that matter, to be exercised when the exigeney will ‘arise, and I advise everybody else to do the same. . My relations to the Republi‘can party are no secret. ‘I have deemed: it my duty; as a Senator and as a citizen, to combat :the errors and transgressions of the set of politicians that controlled it, and to attack the abuses grown up under its rule. I was in earnest. I'thought I wasright “when I did so, and it is no mere stubbornness of opinion when I say I think so now. - Not only, have I noth‘ing to retract, but lam sure recent developments have convinced, many 'good, conscientious Republicans that, had our appeals been heeded in time, that organization would have saved itself many humiliations. | It is, therefore, no- sentimental partiality for theé republican party that br'glgs me here. Whether the republican party will put itselfin a position to deserve support in the Presidential election of 1876 remains to be seen. Whether. the. Democrats will do so, remains to be seen also. My opinion has long been, and I have not concealed it, that the patriotic men of the ‘ Republic might do better than depend: upon either. ‘ Now, let us see who it is tlrat may be charged with inconsistency—whether the accusation ‘holds good against Mr. Schurz or against ‘the champions of the Ohio inflation platforfh. Mr.Schurz says upon this point: I Dbeg Jeave to address my remarks directly to the Democrats of Ohio. In view of our former relations, I-trust théy will not for this direet appeal accuse me of any impropriety. When I, as an independent man, in the Senate and before the people, advocated a policy of coneiliation and justice with regard to the South; when I attacked official .corruption -and transgressions of ‘those in power; when I denounced violations of the principles of the Constitution perpetrated by republican officers of State, you, my Democratic’ fellow-citizens, lavished upon me expressions of applause and confidence, for which T was duly gxateful.

TIIE OLD DEMOCRATIC PLATFOM. ~ But Democratic inflationists seek to discredit my good faith by the atecusation that I have changed sides. Let us see: In 1872 I stood before you as an advocate of the “Liberal” ticket, which had also been adopted and was supported by the Democrats. That ‘ticket was nominated upon a platform containing, as an essential part of its political faith, the following resolu. ‘tiong: . i “'l§he public credit must be sacredly ‘maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. - \ “A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the highest:.considerations of ‘commercial morality and honest government.” ‘ That platform was solemnly indorsed’and adopted as the.political faith, ‘of :the democratic part;J by their National Convention at Baltimore. Upon that platform I stood ther, and upon it I faithfully stind to-day. Democrats, where are you? In making that declaration; of prineiples, I was in earnest. If your leaders betrayed their declared faith, what right have they to accuse me of deserting my cause, when I resist its betrayal by them ? e R S

Again, they pretend that from opposition to President Grant I have turned -round to speak for him and promote his re-election. letus see. In the verbatim rveport of a speech made by Governor Allen at Mansfield I find the following language: ' . “T have some reason to believe, and not a small reason either, that Grant, in his secret heart, wants the Denjocracy to carry Ohio, in order that it may be said by his partisans: ‘Now, no other man can rescue the country but-Grant; therefore, we must have Grant.”” “ Y b

You, Democrats, will certainly not accuse your,candidate for the Governorship of t&'ling a deliberate untruth. If he says he has good reason to believe that President Grant desires the Democracy to carry -Ohio, then, jof course, his reasons must be good. We have Governor Allen’s. word for it. Now I, for my part, do not wish to see President Grant’s secret desires gratified in this point. Tam as. honestly and earnestly as ever oppoged to President Grant’s renomination; and, therefore, I am honestly and earnestly opposed to the furtherance of that renomination by, the success of the inflation Bemocracy in Ohio‘ If there are any Grant men in this eampaign, they are those who advocate Governor Alen’s election, not I. : ; S TR ORY OFE GRANT. ~The truth is, there were a set of Republiean politicians who thought they could permit themselves any iniquity if they only raised the cry of “yebel.” There seem to be now a set of Democratic politicians who think they can permit w_themfelv&anfy« iniquity if tshejlx only raise the cry of “Grant.” I opposed the form enﬁq falso retendors, and upon the same ptineibls & apptae the laitets Fo6 & e e S R R e

is my sincere conviction that there is just as little danger of the re-election of President Grant as there is of a new rebellion, while there is real and great danger in the tricks of wily politicians, who strive to hide their mischievous schemes behind what they believe-a popular ery. : " NO CHANGE OF SIDES, . No, my Democratic fellow citizens, I have not changed sides. I stand upon the same ground which I oceu‘pied when-you €heered my utterances. I -advocate the same principles and serve the same ends. To the same sentiments which then you so loudly applauded I ask you now to give a patient and candid hearing.: e gl <9 etm— - 2 * © How to Presper. ey A contributor to the New York Observer gays: I returnedito Ashville after an, absence of three years and found my friend 'Fruffles grown fat and jovial, with " a face tlie very mirror. of peace and self-satisfaction.

What have you been doing ?” ¢ ' ; Just then a little girl came in with a shattered shawl and barefooted, to whom| Truffles gave a loat of bread. “Oh, dear Mr: Truffies,” the child said with 'brimming eyes, as she took the loaf of bread, “mamma is getting better, and she says she owes s 0 much to you..

At - first I hesitated, but finally I gave it to her, and as. ler blessing rang in my ears after- she had gone, I felt my heart grow warm. Times were hard, and there was a good-deal of suffering, and I found myself wishingby and by, that I could afford:to give away more bread: ‘At length anideastruck me I'd stop drinking and give that amount away /in bread, adding one or two loaves on my own account. I did it, and it’s been a blessing to .me. My heart has grown bigger, and I've grown better every way. My sleep is soundiand sweet, and my dreams are pleasant.

A Grave Question—“ Can Such Things . Be and Overcome Us Like a i summer Cloud?” ‘The following letter to the Supreme Court, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, is one involving such grave questions that after unsuccessfully wrestling with its question, the Judge turned ‘it over to the Attorney General. He being unable to come to-a decision, has referred it to the Governor. It is to be hoped that some conclusion may be reachéd, as the writer has already been “procrastinated” sufficiently. His being kept out of.any oflice for one year, is a serious thing to him. The names of the writer and the city from which he sends fp{th his grievances are here omitted: .~ : To the Most Respectable Supreme Court of the State of Indiana: b i g GENTLEMEN :—-The undersigned was a profesgor in Germany and in this country for many years.

A few days since, New York papers gave an account. of a new form of horse disease that had made, its appearance in that city. Its effects were most severely felt among that class of horses which wereicompelled to do the most sevﬂre forms of labor and where large numpbers . were kept together in close stables. 'Within a few days after the disease first made its appearance not less than ten thousand horses were affected, belonging to the horse railroads of the city. It seems that the disease has now reached Washington and large numbers of liorses are ‘manifesting similar symptoms to those of New York., “The disease has its origin in.the lungs, and the only remedy yet known—and that not a specifiec—is rest, care, proper food, plenty of fresh air and cleanliness. To this time yet the disease is confined to the city and it may be that it will not ispread /to the country. There is no doubt that it is the result of improper treatment, the horses of the railroad companies being overworked, fed on improper food, lack suitable care and when not employed, are forced to ‘breathe the vitiated air of illy ventilated stables, for horses stand just as much in need of proper food ‘and pure airas men. ~ - . : ;

INTERESTING TO MARRIED WO- - “BY JOHN W.DAWSON. -.© . - In looking over the acts of the 49th. regular session of the Legislature— | 1875—furnished by Senator Bell—l} find a very beneficent statute enacted, and which is now in force in Indiana.. It relates to the heretofore contingent interest of ‘a married woman in-real estate of which “her husband is the owner—and which has or may be subjected to judicial sale for debts—and | where she has not joined with him in. mortgage, thus parting with her contingent interest or inchoate right.. To be more explicit to those: who do not understand: the gqueston: - Sinee the present Constitution®of Indiana was adopted, fhe Legistature, say in 1852, abolished what at commonlaw is called dower—and which: under the old Constitution and laws of Indiana was. | also so-called,—being the one-third of | the rents and profits for life of all real estate of which the husband died, seized, and in-conveyance or alienation of which: the wife in his lifetime | had! not joined by -relinquishment. ‘This was changed in 1852, ‘as I said, and the dower abolished, by raising the wife’s inchoate interest to the dignity of a fee simple of one-third (with some qualifications under con- | tingencies - not - necessary here to be designated) of all the real estate which the husband owned during coveture, and in which the wife had not joined in conveying. - This covered every ‘sale made on a judgment or dreree of court 'of lands conveyed by a deed or mortgage in which she had not join--ed, and on sales made on judgment for debt where her interest was not. barred by order or decree. Here'she wag left “in the air,” Her inchoate’ right ‘was of no -avail until the death | of .her husband, when and. only then would ‘she come to terra firma on & | tangible and now perfected one-third in fee of. such land.: It was-thus-a right without any appreciable value;: and often’ the purchaser from the husband, would avail himself of his opportunity and buy from the: ,unfortl;l_nate wife, for-a trifle, her interest and thus perfeet histitless oot ~'This the Legislature has very wisely changed and made the inchoateright a real and perfect fee-simple to one-third of all Tands so sold ou judicial sales made,. or alienation by ‘the husband alone,-after this act shall go into effect, with certain exceptions in: regard to large:judgments, &c.,-and this right she can demand and'have, set off to Irer as otlier tenants in-com-. mon may have partition of their lands by agreement or judigial proceedings: Another feature is worth noticing. If a married woman shalldie, holding property. vested by the law mnamed, the whole of sdid property ‘shall descend to the husband if living; and if after the death of thé husband named, she shall not have alienated, or sold the property, ‘and she shall marry ‘again, or again, she cannot under any _circumstances, - existing during :the coverture; alienate the property; and if she shall die during this coverture ‘the. realty miamed shall descend-to’ ‘herchildren. 0«0 v uia o ey This I regard as a step forward, and in the right direction; and money Jlenders and creditors having the law. before them, must regard it as a standing eaveat, warning them not to trust a husband unless they expect to meet and respect the wife’s inchoate right. The, wife can, if:she. will, use this law as a shield against the sword of a “creditor; or she may. give away this support to appease an improvident or ungenerous and sometimés unnatural” husband: .=8 0 o ok e

- The giving of an absolute fee-simple to -the wife of one-third of the husband’s- real estate, without restraints protective of the interests of the children, I never regarded as anything ‘but a piece of chivalry, without abso‘lute refinement of feeling; it always seemed to-me that it was a strife on the parteof the.law makers to please women, and at'the. same time short sighted 1n overlooking helpless ehil-. dren. . True- ifiis, that mothers aré supposed to ‘have as much affection for children as have fathers, but.experienee has taught us, when the father is dead, that the inexperience and volatility of the widow, especially when age has neither subdued her frivolity or abated her desire for -’matri‘}nonizgl delights, in too-many cases she makes: shipwreck of her head -and thereby sinks into nothingness the patrimony whicli - her children should have had gsecured against such contingencies by an inexorable law. But this view'does in nowise contiict with the propriety of endorsing the law to which I-have ‘l'gfﬁll‘red{ i 3 ’.‘ ;i : L e L s . _The proper amelioration of fhe con-: dition of = woman' by relieving her from ‘the condition of that servitude and inferiority: which past ages imposed on her, was certainly one of the ‘grandest “things in our progress; but -enthusiasm sometimes leads to excesses which defeat purposes well intend--ed, and this matter has furnished an examples. T T e s it eoo + The rights of ‘married women, in some respeets, are still too narrow; in others, too broad. . In some things she is ‘irresponsible where.she should be responsible,; and in some cases she is ‘given a'sword against which no man ‘has a‘shield strong ehough to-defend, and that, too, this power ‘without a reason. Legislation should be henceforth ‘directed to. the proper distribu‘tion and arrangement of her rights and responsibilities, so that they may be consistent and ample.—l't. Wayne Gazelte. . St el nsl
