Yet seen too often, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity. then embrace.

LAST Sunday evening in the midst
of one of the most terrible rain storms
which has ever visited this section of
country, tornado carrying a front of
about five rods, visited the neighbor-
hood of Beloit, uprooting trees, fences,
houses and everything that lay in its
course. The large cheese factory of
Jared Stanley, about one mile north
of the village, was lifted from its
foundation aud demolished. The
building was occupied by Homer
Hudson as residence. Mr.. Hudson
was dangerously hurt, having several
ribs broken by the falling timbers. A
little daughter, FIVE or six years of
age, was carried by the force of the
wind into the cheese room and in
stantly killed. Mrs. Hudson with an
infant in her arms, escaped from the
ruins, and in the midst of the storm
wandered nearly q mile before help
could be obtained. The building con-
tanned several hundred cheese which
are almost total loss. In the neigh
borhoed, trees measuring Is inches in
diameter were broken off and carried
from $50 to 200 feet. One fine orchard
was almost totally destroyed and an
other badly injured. No such storm
has visited this region for years.-AI-

with bone dust and snperphosphates,
made from bones He believes bone 10
be the scream OF cream" as manure.
On pasture land in Cheshire, where
he lived seven years, he found it in
dispensible. In Wiltshire he found
it developed the best grasses, and pro
duced a superior heritage; it produced
the best roots, and on the wheat crop,
in The shape Of superphosphate, it Sc
cured good stand. He used $500
worth of it and believes it 10 be the
best worth farmers attention of any
outside MANURE. He found on elay
lands, imDregnated with oyvde of iron.
that until the land had been lined the
bone mad no effect but as soon as lime
was applied bone was used with sue
cess. Finally, On experimenting witt
it on sandy soil, he found it perfect,
useless, aud even in quantities Of 700
pounds per acre, applied TO old pas
ti'res OF young grass lands, it bad NJ
perceptible effect during many years.
