A FAILURE.—Our third attempt
within the year to establish an ag-ricultural
department in the Kiel. ,-
has. like those before it, proved a
fatal failure. We have been de-ceived
and humbugged until we
arc almost ready to abandon the
idea. True, the only agricultural
products of this vicinity are eon-lined
in jackass-rabbits, Piute half-breeds,
cactus plants and wire grass
which cuts a mule in two length-ways
within a month, but an agri-cultural
department always gives a
weekly a finished expression of
countenance.

along about four weeks ngo and
