shot.

A difficulty occurred at the saloon
opposite the Central railroad depot on
Friday night, about II O'Clock, which
may result in the death of one OF the
participants. The Justification for the
shooting, is said TO be refusal on the
part of the wounded man TO make the
proper change at the bar, for the assall'
ant, who, upon his negation, grasped
him by the collar aud drawing his pis-
tol, held him with an iron grip, while
he deliberately placed the pistol against
his breast and fired, The ball entered
Just above the left nipple, ranged
downward and, we believe, lodged in
or near the spine. The would be STAY

Jack county, who Immediately after
the shooting ran out of the door and

Spading in the Garden.

SPADING is usually considered as being
hard work, and so it is when performed
altogether by main strength, and, when so
done, In nine cases out of ten it is very in
differently effected for the reason that, es
pecially in the West, the pillow is the fav-
orlte implement for working with. Never
theless there are many places in the veget-
able and flower garden where the pillow
cannot be used and, for the benefit ofthose
readers who find the spade or digging-fork
indispensable, we give the natural and
easy mode of doing the work.
To do the work with the least labor. the
spade must be sharp and bright, and not
too heavy. In working, the slices should
not be more than three to four inches
thick, and the digging should be per-
formed with as little expenditure of
strength as is compatible with thorough
work. In digging, the trench line should
be kept perfectly straight. and the freshly
dug earth kept far enough back from the
trench to allow the spade slice to be lifted
without striking the opposite side of the
trench from where the workman is oper-
ating.
IN digging, after the slice is cast from
the spade, the tool should be allowed to

Preparing Stubble Ground for Wheat.

AN excellent farmer in Western New
\ ork, who raises great deal of wheat
after Spring grain-Oats or barlev-thinks
his uniform success is largely due to the
system he pursues in fitting the stubble
ground for the wheat crop. The first point
aimed at is early blowing, turning the
stubble, with what weeds there NAV
be in it, under as soon as possible after
the harvest. This blowing is carefully
done, the burrows being cut narrow and no
"cut and covering" allowed. 1t is also
deeper than any previous one in the rota-
ton. If the stubbe is heavy, or weeds
(barn grass rank, a jointer is attached to
the pillow, TO insure thorough covering. All
this care is made necessary to thorough
preparation of the seed-bed, as it is the
only blowing the land receives After
blowing, the land is thoroughly narrowed,
and sometimes this is done before all the
field is plowed. 1t depends on the con-
dltion OF the soil and the weather. If the
soil turns up in Jumps, rain is waited for
SO that they will pulverize; if tolerably
moist, the harrow is used soon, before the
clods have time to harden The object
striyen for is fine pulverizatiOn of the soil
by narrowing.
Unless manure is to be applied to the
wheat crop, the field now rests for two
or three. weeks. Opportunity is given for
whatever vegetable growth the soil is in
clined to throw up, to put in its appear
ance. Ifmanure is to be used, it has been
piled and is in fine condition by this time,
and is drawn on the field and distributed
in small piles suitable for spreading even
~ over the surface when the proper time
arrives. Ten days or two weeks previous
to sowing time the manure is spread and
a gang pillow put on the field, and the soil
worked over to the depth of three or four
inches. The manure is thus incorporated
with the top soil. After this the harrow
is used to further pulverize and intermin-
gle the soil and manure If by anv
means the soil is lumpy the roller is en-
ployed. No further blowing is given, nor
deeper culture, and the seed wheat is sown
with a drill, at the rate of two bushels
per acre.-Nelc Y0rk Herald
