A young man named Hugh Welsh, bricklay-
er, residing with his parents at No. 20 Williams
street, died yesterday morning from the effects
OF dose Of bed-bug poison taken several days
ago. It appears that while On drunken spree
he purchased the mixture at drug store on
West Van Buren street, and swallowed large
portion Of it without being aware Of its danger
ous character. He became extremely i'll shortly
afterward, and doctor WAS summoned to ex-
anime him. Some time elapsed before the
physician discovered what to treat him for, as
he refused to give him any information. Every
assistance that medical skill could suggest was
rendered him aB soon as the nature OF bis COM
plant MAS ascertained, but it was then too late
to counteract the effects Of the poison. The un-
fortunate young man expired in great agony.
It is not believed by his friends that he in
tended to commit suicide, as he WAS in sound
health and good circumstances. Au inquest
was held on his remains yesterday afternoon.

details the cheapest and most practical
plan Of increasing the farm manure
pile, and saving its elements from waste,
and which should be adopted by every
farmer. His plan is simply to save evey
particle of the animal excrements,
liquid and solid, with all its fertilizing
elements in fact, free from vast by
washing, evaporation, or e.fang. To
10 this, he fills stall, or large bin, in
his stable during dry weather, with
pulverzod clay road scrapings, or com:
mon soil. With this he covers the floor
ofeach stall three inches deep, and then
places the litter for the animals bedding
on it. BY this means, all the urine will
be absorbed, and its wealth of nitrogen
saved and such is the absorbing pow
er of dried earth, that one three. inch
flooring will not be so thoroughly satu-
rated in long time as to need replac-
ing. He says that his experiment re-
quired but one large bin of pulverized
earth to absorb the urine of ten or twelve
cattle during the stabling season, and
that two men with team filled the bin
in one day. Dried clay was applied also
to the pig pen and hen roost, with the
same ammonia-saving results, and If
applied to the privy or earth closet,
which is now being adopted, great
manurial as we'll as sanitary result
would follow.
The inducements for the use of dry
earth are: 1. That it requires no ap.
paratus or cash outlay. 2. That the
liquid manure of cattle is worth more
than the solid and is usually lost, but
under this practice, all is retained. 8.
The dry earth retains within it all the
value, Of which usually one.half or one
third is lost by lamentations, teaching,
or evaporation. 4. 1t gives much larg.
er bulk of manure, each load of which
is of double the value of ordinary farm
yard manure. 5. That one ton ofsatura-
ted earth is of more value than the
same weight of even fresh saved dung.
6. That the aggregate amount of plant
food thus saved from the stalls is fully
double, and in much better condition
for use.

CARROTS FOR HoRsEs.-Practical ex.
perionco has demonstrated beyond a
doubt that horses are benefited by
liberal root feeding. The action of this
kind of diet upon the animal is TO keep
his digestive organs in healthful con.
dition. There are those who do not
hesitate to assert that bushel ofcarrots
Is equal to two bushels of oats for a
horse. Now, while my own experience
has fully satisfied me of the great value
of carrots for horse food and especially
for the patient livery stable horses,
that are kept on dry food the whole
year round, L am not prepared to place
quite as high an estimate upon their
value as that. That they do possess
extraordinary medical qualities, none
who have tried them will deny. An ex-
perience of not few years has satisfied
me that carrots fed to horses during the
winter, and especially after the first OF
January, have most beneficial effect
upon them. They act, when not fed in
excessive quantities, as mild aperient,
andappear to have the desirable effect ol
admirably fitting the animals for the

How Horse Helped his NcighbOr.

Not long since l visited friend, who
lives on a fine farm in pleasant town
in Southern New Hampshire. While
there one evening, we role to the vii
lage to attend meeting,and on our
way back my friend told me the follow
ing anecdote about the noble horse he
was driving and l thought it was
worth repeating TO the young readers
| of the Columbian. \ few years ago, this
horse was kept during the autumn, in
field close by the farm house, and in
an adjoining pasture Il flock Of sheep
was also kept.
One day, while my friend was talk
ing with gentleman by the roadside,
the horse came running toward him
from the lower part of the field, next to
the sheep pasture, and, putting his
head over the wall near him, whinnied,
as if to attract attention.
He took, however, no special notice
of this; and presently he turned and
ran back to the lower side of the field.
But very soon he was again seen
rapidly approaching, and on reaching
his master, he again spoke to him, as
horses usually speak.
1t was observed that the horse was
acting in a very unusual manner but
still no steps were taken yet to ascertain
the cause of the running back and forth.
So the pony again wheeled and gallop.
ed away once more toward the sheep
pasture. And now, very soon, for the
third time, is he seen swiftly return
ing.
1t seems that the intelligent creature,
having failed in two attempts TO secure
the help he was seeking, determined to
try elsewhere this time and so, instead
of going to his master, he went to the
farm house, that stood near by, and
putting his head through an open win.
dow in the kitchen, he again whinnied.
My friends wife, who it seems had
noticed the strange restlessness of the
animal, now felt quite sure there must
be some trouble in the field or pasture,
and that the horse was trying to tell
them of this, that they might go to the
rescue.
So she went out where the horse was.
1t seemed pleased that it had attracted
attention at last, and, trottiug on before
the lady, it led her down to the pasture,
and putting its head over the fence,
seemed to say: Look, look !" The
lady did look, and there she discovered
that a savage dog had caught q sheep,
aud was holding it by the throat, in
spite of all the poor creatures efforts
to escape.
On being discovered, the dog let go
his hold, and springing over the fence
into the field, fled, hotly pursued by
the enraged horse, who would gladly
have trampled him beneath his feet.
The poor sheep was not much injured,
and so the horse had saved his neigh
boris life.
hope my young readers will al l1ays
try to help those whom they see in
trouble, and that they will be as per-
severlng in their efforts to do good as
was this noble animal,

OILrNG AXLEs.-Much is lost for

They should be examined about once a
week, if in constant use, and properly
oiled. Lard is not suitable, for it pene-
tratcs through the hub and loosens the
spokes. We know of nothing better
than castor oil, and a rancid article,
which can be had at cheap rates at the
apothecary's, is just as good for this
purpose as the best. A small quantity,
applied upon the bearings of the axle,
is just as good as to oil the whole sur
face. If the oiling is neglected, there
is much friction, which has to be over
come by the increased exertion of the
team. The boxes and axles both wear
away more rapidly and there is soon
need Of new wheel and axle. A good
wheeljack viii greatly facilitate the oil.
