Further Particulars Of the Concord
yiIIniny.

CONCORD, N. H., October 6.-Search
for the head of the Longmade girl, al
Pembroke, was renewed yesterday,
and resulted in its being found about
.one hundred rods from where the body
WAS discovered. 1t was enveloped in
"a. shawl, which the girl had worn one
. ear was gone, the face blackened and
bruised and one side of the skull bro
ken in. In the euge of the woods was
,foundG stake, broken in two places,
with which she had evidently been
struck and afterwards dragged into the
woods where the head was severed
from the body. The officers at Sun
cook, mile anu half from the scene
of the tragedy, yesterday arrested a
man named Bill Brew, who lives about
halt mile from where the murder
was committed and whose movements
were very suspicious. The most IN
tense excitement prevailed when his
arrest became known. A great crowd
gathered about the station house where
he was confined, and but for the deter.
mination of the officers, he would
doubtless have been lynched.

FARM AND HOME.

10 prevent horses feet from scaling
or cracking in summer, and enabling the
shoes to be carried longer time without
injury, the French practice is to coat the
hoofs once aweek with an ointment COM
posed of-equal proportions of soft fat,
yellow wax, linseed oil, Venice turpen-
tine and Norway tar; the wax is melted
separately before mixing.
The dahlias of to-day are far supe-
rior to those of ten years ago, being
more globular in shape, while the colors
are more bright and beautiful. Where
you have a large lawn and wish to ex-
hibit flowers for effect do not forget
these. They should be planted out as
soon as all danger from frost is past in
good soil, not too rich and wet, or you
will have nothing but leaves. If you
can shade them from the burning sun
between twelve and two o'clock their
flowers will last much longer. Plant
about six inches deep and four feet
apart; and when planting put neat
slick alongside the tuber so that when
your plant is foot or two high it can
be tied to it.-Rural NeD Yorker.
Many people suppose baking and
roasting to mean the same thing, and
everywhere you hear people who never
tasted of roast beef in their lives tell of
having roast beef for dinner. Meats are
never roasted in an oven. Roasting is
done before fire and is more nearly
like broiling. In roasting the meats are
placed before the fire on a "spit" which
can be turned, bringing each part of the
meat successfully to the fire. French
cooks aim to have bright fire; the meat
to be roasted is placed very near the fire
at first, and gradually Withdrawn and
turned and basted frequently. Roasted
meats have o better flavor and are far
superior in richness and nutritive quail
ties to either baked or boiled. The
superiority of English and French roast
beef is due far more to the method of
cooking than the quality OF the meat.
The only essential difference between
roasting and bToiling is that the former
is done before the fire and the latter
over it, Western Ruaal.
Jonathan Talcott gives q statement
in the Boston Cagti0dt0r of an expert
ment performed on u Suffolk pig where
sugar beets were largely employed for
fattening. The animal was about year
old, and the feeding on boiled sugar
beets, tops and roots, began on the 10th
of August, and was continued three
times a day until the list of October,
after which ground feed was given, con-
sisting Of two parts of corn and one of
oats three times day till the animal was
slaughtered, the meal being mixed with
cold water. The result was on the 10th
of August, when the sugarbe feeding
was begun, that the weight was $50 lbs.
Sept. l, $50 lbs; Oct. 1, $50 lbs; Nov. /,
$40 lbs. This is the substance of the
statement given, by which we perceive
that the increase the last of August,
when fed on boiled sugar-beets, was at
the rate of two pounds per day; the rate
of increase on the same food continued
through September. When fed on
ground corn and oats made into cold
slop the gain for the next fifty days was
less than pound and q half per day.

Lime Fer Wheat.


THE fact cannot be disguised that our
wheat crops are deteriorating in quality
and quantity per acre, and it is easily
understood what the causes are. The
annual fires, for ages consuming the
crops of grass, had supplied the earth
with large quantity Of potash, of which
wheat partakes greedily. And without
this principle prevails to- q considerable
degree in the earth the wheat will be de-
fective--shrivel, scab, blight muSty,
etc.-and be deficient in quantity in pro-
portion TO which the soil has been de-
pleted. The first crops Of wheat on our
sod are plump and perfect, but each
year gradually degenerates. This is
sufficient evidence to the husbandman
that his land needs something which it
has not. Some of the farmers of Iowa
have ready access to lime-kilns, and es-
pecially the air-slacked lime about where
it is burned. Experiments should be
made with care. Sow a strip of land at
the rate of twenty bushels to the acre
with Stacked lime, and then leave a strip
and ascertain the difference. Then for
another strip mix two bushels of salt
with twenty bushels of lime and SOW
after letting it lay awhile. In this COM
bination there will be q chemical change
take place, producing, it is said, a
fertilizer valuable for wheat. These
are simple experiments, and may
be valuable. LII this will not i'm
prove quality and quantity, if we
continue to raise wheat, the superphos-
pilates or wheat food will have to be in
troduced to Iowa's fertile plains. The
immense trains of cars which go from
our State laden with wheat are rapidly
robbing us of our inheritance and it will
have to be counteracted.in some way.
Salt has frequently been profitably
used ON farms. Near the sea coast, where
the air is saturated with the salt sea
breezes, it is not needed, and in many
cases is seriously injurious. But in En-
gland, surrounded by salt water, farmers
scatter salt over their farms at the rate
of two bushels per acre, and experience
favorable results in different ways. 1t
destroys the worms which would be in
furious, and aids in reducing vegetable
matter in the soil into food for plants
This experiment might also be tried on
our farms.
Several farmers in the State, we under
stand, are this year experimenting with
gypsum. We hope they will not only re-
port the result, but the mode of apply
ing-the amount per acre, and the crop
to which it is applied, and the kind and
quality of the soil. This is an article
which cannot be successfully used by the
ignorant and the careless. And the gyp.
sum must be pure. Science and skill
must direct the farmer il he would sue

The Apiary.

BEEKEEPERs, as well as farmers, will
realize that the season is backward. The
severe winter, in many cases, has re-
peated the disastrous work of two and
three years ago, and stocks are III a
weak condition. They must hare the
more care. Allow no more room than
they need, and no more comb than they
can cover. The hive can be contracted
to the desired size by q division board.
Heat, a most important requisite inathe
brood-rearing season, is thus economical
and rendered subservient to the end de-
sired-an mcrease in the strength of the
colony; contracted entrances will also
add much in this direction. Feed daily
good strip made of white sugar, and add
cards of comb as the colony increases in
number. Commence feeding with small
Doses increasing slowly, as this pro-
notes brood-rearing most et1ectually.
After the bees have filled three or four
combs with brood it is a good plan to IN
sert frame of empty worker comb be-
tween two of the middle ones. After
flowers come, and the bees can gather
honey in abundance, feeding may cease,
but on no account before When feed
ing is once begun it must be kept up un-
til full natural supply is afforded.
From now until the swarms come off
all the energies of the bees will be de-
voted TO rearing brood and great deal
of the honey gathered or the feed given
them is turned to this purpose Many
beekeepers do not think Of this, and
hence colonies have been known to
starve during protracted inclement
spell of weather, even after they have
apparently been gathering honey most

Action OF Plaster.

? a CORRESPONDENT of the Practical
farmer, who has used plaster on his
farm for ten years, writes: 81 have re-
Ceived most benefit from it ON grass
lands and ON corn. From pretty close
observation | have found its effect most
obvious in wet seasons, and have re-
peatedly observed no benefit in dry
season. am no chemist but only a
reader of what chemists tell No am
monia being present in the ordinary at
mosphere, but inasmuch as it has been
detected in rain water, my theory is that
rain water coming in contact with the
sulphate of lime OF plaster two new
combinations are formed. The carbon
ate of ammonia--a volatile SALTS der
composed. The sulphate of ammonia, a
non-volatile salt and valuable fertilizer,
is formed, on the one hand, and on the
other carbonate Of lime, also desirable
in many soils. / think I secure the ben
eft of plaster If its action is as described
by sowing it in the fall, during winter or
very, early in the spring. The rains and
snow necessary for its active benefit are
thus secured; while if sown, as many of
my neighbors do, late in the spring, the
money which it costs is, in my opinion,
very often thrown away if a dry season
occurs. One bushel and half to the
acre is the proper quantity-no more, 10

How japanese Robber Was Foiled.

The clerk Of a merchant at Osaka,
Japan, went to KiotO on business for his
employer, and received 1000 yen to carry
back to Osaka. Having been detained
longer than he expected, he missed the
steamboat, and, being anxious to complete
his journey as quickly as possible, took a
jinrikisha, intending to travel through the
night and reach Osaka before daylight
On arriving at a village few miles from
his destination, about three a. m, man
with drawn sword stopped the vehicle
and demanded the thousand yen, stating
that he had seen the youth receive it at
Kioto. After some demur the clerk took
the money from his bosom, and was about
to hand it to the robber, when the jinriki-
Bha coolie snatched the bag and made oil,
leaving the vehicle, the clerk and the
robber in the middle of the road, the two
latter as speeches. as the former. The
knight of the road, finding himself foiled,
departed in the direction opposite to that
of Osaka, to which city the youth
fastened, after abandoning his first
thoughts of jumping into the river. On
arriving at the house of an uncle he &C
quainted that relative with his adventure,
and expressed desire to die. But he was
spared, for it was discovered that the
coolie, instead of running away with the
money, had taken it to the police station.
He was appropriately rewarded with a
share of the money which he had so
cleverly saved.

Buried Alive.

AN undertaken of this city tells q story
OF what would seem to be case of pre-
mature burial, which makes ones blood
chill while he reads. During the months
of january and February, on account Of
the unusual severity of the cold, the
dead taken to the City Cemetery were
deposited in vaults until the ground had
thaWed sufficiently to permit the digging
OF graves. For the past four weeks,
therefore, the various undertakers have
been busy interring these bodies, and in
many instances curiosity has prompted
them to open such collins as were COW
cred by an inner facing of glass. Among
others SO opened was that of an elderly
lady who died in January and whose re-
mains had been carefully deROsited in
its casket and removed with great care
to the vault. When the cover was raised
three days ago, however, to the horror
of the bystanders it was discovered that
the body, instead of lying in q natural
position, with its face upward, had
turned nearly upon its face, while the
shroud was disarranged. Other evidence
also revealed the fact that struggle
had taken place on the part of
the unwilling occupant of the coffin.
The hands were clenched, the eyes
fixed with horrid stare and the knees
bent. But the strong walnut coffin, with
its row of silver headed screws and hand
some handles, with wrought gripes, did
the work which disease seems to have
left undone. Weakened by sickness and
old age, the poor woman could not break
from her narrow home, or, by her muf1led
rappings, attract the attention of some
passers-by. How dreadful must have
been the sensation of the unfortunate
victim as she awoke to consciousness and
found herself numbered and living with
the dead! The terrible affair gives rise
to a thousand thoughts as unpleasant as
the air which fills the charncl house. The
Sentinel says:
"There have been cases, it is true,
of bodies being turned over in collins by
a rude shock or a sudden jar, but this by.
pothesis will scarcely hold true i'll this
case, where the body was carefully taken
and laid in u vault. Too much care can
not be taken to guard against premature
burials of this kind, especially in cases
of smallpox and contagious diseases, in
which careful examination of the corpse
is often neglected. "-IndiGnap0lis DIS

actively for a-longer or shorter period
There are doubtless two causes for this
the one mentioned, viz: That the stores
gathered are consumed in brood-rearing,
and the other is that the early flowers
dc not furnish a very good supply and
the bees do not gather near as much as
their activity would lead US to suppose
AT all events prudence requires the ut
most vigilance, and when such weather
comes furnish feed promptly that the
zeal OF the colony may not cease nor
their strength decline.
BY the last of this month May, per-
haps, your stocks will be strong enough
to divide; they certainly will not be
ready much before that time in this lati
tude. The simplest and easiest way to
do this, to avoid natural swarming, is
the "old way" VIZ: In the middle of
the day when the most bees are out
take frame of brood with adhering bees
and the queen-be sure of the latter
put them in the new hive and set the
new hive where the old one stood, re-
moving the latter some distance away to
a new stand The new hive should be
filled with empty comb and the old one
furnished with young queen or queen
cell. II. the old hive should not have
old bees enough to keep the young bees
Matching, more should be given it. The
new hive will do well enough without at
tention after the missing card of comb
has been supplied.
Those who have had colonies die
through the winter should carefully pre-
serve the comb. This can be done by
hanging them in q cool, Well-ventilated
apartment, first cleansing them of dead
bees and other impurities. IL put in
damp place they mold, and mice will de-
your them unless hung out Of their
reach Moth-worms can be destroyed
by exposing them to the fumes of burn
ing birthstone; no material injury results
to the comb.-Ohi0 Farmer.
