Fearful Death of an Eronaut-JtIe is Carried
up n Mile by Premature Ascension, and
Falls TO the Earth Shapeless Mass-His
Wife and Child Witness the Tragic Affair.
LouisUiHe, Ky., October ga singular
and most fearful accident occurred here this
morning on tho occasion of balloon as
cension. The balloon broke prematurely
from its fastenings and started upon its up
ward flight without any occupant in the
car. Two men-one of them being the
eronaut, Professor Wilbur,-sprang for
the car, but only succeeded in catching the
ropes, and in that condition were carried
of.
Professor Wilbur's companion, after the
balloon had risen about thirty feet, let go
his hold and fell to the ground unhurt. The
Professor, however, chung to the ropes till
the balloon had attained The height of about
mile, when he came whrling to the cal tn.
As he approached the earth, he was
descending feet foremost; then his body
spread out horizontally /; then it doubled
up and turned over, and then Strengthened
out, with the head downward; striking
the earth with his head and back.
His head was mashed into an indistin-
guishable mass, and his body was crushed
and bruised horribly. The body made an
indention in the ground, eight inches deep,
and it rebounded four feet from where it
struck.
The Professors young wife and little
daughter were on the ground, and witnessed
the terrible affair. Their agonzed grief
was most heartrending, and the sensations
of horror which pervaded among the spec
tators of this fearful affair, were indescriba-

Theory Of Feeding Cattle.

A FARMER has three things to consider,
with three distinct objects to attain in feed
ing his cattle, to wit: 1st, to make bone
I'd, to make flesh ), and Sd, to make fat
without the first he can have no flesh, and
without flesh he can have no fat. This
being so, it is absolutely necessary in feed
ing cattle that their food shall contain all
the elements of bone, flesh, and fat; the
former should be plentifully furnished the
growing animal, and the latter when fat
tening for the shambles. Bone has foI
its elements phosphoric acid and lime
flesh has gluten, fbrine, ETC., and fat has
carbon. 1t is necessary, therefore, that
cattle feed should contain all these in due
proportion to their wants with reference
to the purposes in view; in the young,
bone and flesh constituents are required
and these are found in swedes, cabbages,
potatoes, with good hay or grass, accord.
ing to the season of the year; flesh, with
a view to fattening, grain, oil, meal, with
hay and grass, must be furnished.
The kinds OF feed being known for the
accomplishing of certain ends, the next
thing to be considered is, the quantity
required, best adapted to promote the ends
in view, be it growth or fattening. An
English writer says an OK requires two pei
cent. of his live weight of hay day; il
he work, two and half per cent. a milch
cow, three per cent. an OK, fattening, five
per cent at first, four and half per cent.
when half fattened, and four when fat.
Grown up sheep require three and hall
per cent. to keep them in good condition.

How 10 Save all the Strength of Ma
lUTe.

IT is held by some late writers that ma
nure may be applied in small heaps, or un-
evenly spread, and the soil will still hold
its Strength. Experiments may have
demonstrated something like this, but our
experience is averse to it. On clay loan
good for manure-we find but little eff
feet from dung left long in heaps, less yet
when scattered In dry, hard balls, as is but
too common.
In such cases yearly failures have been
the experience and we all know what the
experience is with heaps-they over-en-
rich some, the little spots they occupy,
and benefit but little the rest when spread,
the strength having much escaped, and
being put in heaps it was not apt to spread
well; in its tight dry state it was thrown
on the stubbles, or unevenly scratched
about a little.
Since then the application has been
changed and manure, as soon as drawn,
spread, and spread evenly and finely-the
point of all being to get it close to the
ground. In such case it virtually becomes
soil. A close cropped pasture is good
place to apply manure; naked-plowed
or harrowed-soil is better-the soil then
takes hold of the manure being in direct
contact with it. Hence the effect of ap-
plying the manure when the grain is sown,
udIlOWtu VI lOie Oh thO cul
face. This last-left unharrowed-is
probably the preferable way where COM
post is used, especially if soil is one of its
constituents. Being in contact with the
soil is equivalent to being in it, as none of
the properties of the manure are lost, and
it is preferable, as being farthest from the
sub-soil, the chances are for the least loss
in this way, or, in good, retentive soil, no
loss at all, the whole depth of the soil hav-
ing to go through slow process, while,
when mixed with the soil or plowed un-
der, it has less or no space to travel.
The case is clear, l think, that we can
save our manure if applied in the way in
dicated. Carted from the stables in the
fall on a plowed level surface, there is a
chance that all the strength will be saved,
save the little that evaporates in steam at
the time of making In compost heap,
and kept during the summer, there is more
or less loss, though this varies much, as
all is in the treatment, which is anything
but uniform or careful. We use a large
share of our manure, and the better part.
Draw at once as made and apply as di-
rected and this will be remedied, and the
difference will be seen largely; as we have
said, the best part of the manure will then
be retained.-RurdL World.
