Spring Gram on Sod.

THE usual and generally the best prac
tice is to precede spring grain with IA hoed
crop of corn or oats in sod with manure
plowed under. If well cultivated through
the season this leaves the ground free from
weed seeds, the sod thoroughly rotted and
the manure and decaying sod intimately
mixed with the soil But this plan is not
always practicable. Sometimes farmers
have fields which need breaking up and
reseeding but cannot find time or labor to
plant so large an area Of hoed crops as
this rotation would require. What shall
be done in such cases? To leave this land
unplowed year is to fill it with weeds
in place of failing clover and grasses.
To pillow in the spring and SOW barley or
oats on the newly-turned sod will most
probably result in the partial failure of
the crop Fall blowing, giving the sod a
chance to rot more or less in fall, is the
next best preparation posslble-better in
some respects than hoed crop the pre-
vious year, as there is nothing taken from
the soil. THIS fall-powed land needs
only to be cultivated in spring to be pre-
pared for seeding in the best possible con-
dition.
1t will facilitate roring of the sod if
bushel and half per acre of rye is sown
on the fall -plowed land and dragged in.
1t will make a good late pasture for calves
and good early pasture for new mich
COWS and ewes with lamb Besides, the
covering which the plants will make will
save the surface of the soil from being
blown away. The young plants in green
leaf do not exhaust the soil much, if any,
and all the advantage from the fall or
1
the slight outlay for seed.-R,ral Neo

Fatten Live Stock Gradually.

It is always better in every respect TO
keep domestic animals growing and fat
tening gradually than to allow them to
run in the fields for several months, hav-
ing only short supply of grass, clover
and a bite OF meal, and then commence
feeding them all they will eat and more
than their stomachs can digest. Some
farmers differ as to the propriety of feed
ing meal at all To pastured cattle, some in
sisting that it only destroys their appetite
for the grass and that if fed on the latter
alone they will improve in condition more
rapidly and steadily than in any other
way. This is certainly not true with all
animals, as for example with the case just
mentioned; but there are others which
have a natural propensity to flesh that
seem 10 improve best on rich pasturage
alone, doubtless partly in consequence Of
the long continued and regular supply Of
good food which they thus receive as con-
tra>ted with sudden and irregular grain

Of beginning to tatten their hogs or cattle
for early winter market until autumn has

stood the Democratic party? In the hope

Boiler ExplOsion--Terrible Destruc.
ton to Life.

THE boiler of the engine Centralia, of
the Easton & Amboy Railroad, exploded
on the morning OF the 1st at the Raritan
siding near South Somerville, n. j. The
following particulars are given in the
New York papers of the I'd:
The engineer, the foreman Of the labor
gang and three other men were killed,
and thirty three laborers were scalded,
some of them fatally. The cause of the
explosion is said to have been the worn
out condition of the boiler and the lack of
water kept in it, The engine left Bound
brook about seven a. III. with construc-
ton train, consisting OF caboose and
number Of empty gravel-cars, TOR the
purpose OF assisting in the repair of the
road. The engine was attached to the rear
of the train and directly in front Of it was
the caboose and another containing about
forty-eight laborers. When the train
reached the siding, about two and half
miles west of ,Boundbrook, it was run
upon side.track in order to allow the
eastern bound passengertrain to pass.
While standing here the boiler OF
the engine, without any warning, ex-
ploded, wrecking the locomotive, shiv
eriDg the caboose TO atoms and pour
ing steam and boiling water into
the car in front Of it, The laborers occu-
pying the caboose, unconscious OF dan
ger, were talking and laughing together,
and when the shock came were scattered
like leaves before a hurricane. Some of
them were blown through the roof and
sides and by the force of the explosion
were lifted twenty or thirty feet into the
air. But eight men escaped uninjured
Many were severely wounded by flying
fragments Of the cars and engine and two
or three were fatally scalded. Five were
killed almost outright The boiler was
carried high in the air and landed about
100 feet from the scene Of the disaster.
Col. Palmer II. Thompson, foreman OF
the labor gang, was burned about the body
and injured Internally. He died about
four p. N. He was commander of a
Pennsylvania regiment OF militia during
the late war, and leaves a wife and one
child. When the physician came to at
tend him he said Attend to others first I;
| am not hurt as badly as they are" Be
fore dying he described how the force of
the explosion had thrown him through
the roof OF the caboose, and thirty feet
high. While falling he thought of clutch
ing the telegraph wires, which he saw
many feet below him, to break his fall,
but, thinking it would be useless, re-
framed. He alighted on tie, which broke
in enc of his ribs and burst in one of his
lungs, which produced fatal internal
hemorrhagc.
Boundbrook was the scene Of intense
excitement, rs the explosion, though it
occurred two and Il half miles from there,
was distinctly heard. Wood-choppers
working several miles distant heard the
reyerbcratons and hurried to the scene
Many stories were atloat as to the cause Of
the accident, but, in the excitement that
prevailed, it was impossible to ascertain
where the blame rests

A Novel Race.

Plainsmen will be surprised to hear
that there is something in the world that
can run faster than jack-raboit. AS a
passenger on the Union Pacific,
heading east, was rafting along over the
Laramie Plains the other night, the engi
neer, Al Johnson, looking from the cab
down along the cleaning rails, espied a
huge jack rabbit bounding over the ties
about thirty feet ahead Of the cow-catcher.
The engineer put on more steam, and the
ponderous locomotive shot ahead like an
arrow, but the rabbit pricked up his ears
and struck out at the rate of twenty feet n
Jump. Johnson's pride was touched. His
locomotive is one of the biggest and swift
est on the line, and he was afraid if he let
that lack hare outrun him the boys would
find il out and he would be forever dis
graced. SO he turned on more steam and
the engine made a bound under the cloud
of smoke which belched from the smoke
stack, and the telegraph poles danced past
wildly, but jack let out another section of
his legs and kept right along down the
level grade Just out of reach of the cow
catcher. For five miles and a quarter the
locomotive and rabbit kept up this speed,
when tue latter began to weaken. John
son, refining IN his iron horse, went out
on the pilot, and, leaning forward, reached
ont and picked up the rabbit as the en-
