unsettled. Orders come in slow and
there j, no margin TO ship on speculation.

A Georgia Vendetta.

The Herringtons and the Bowens are
nelghbors, but not friends. They live
near the wayside station of Haddock, on
the Macon and Augusta Railway, in
Georgia. The hatred which exists be-
tween the families originated in some
trlfiing quarrel years ago. There's
blood in the pathway between them
now, and the way for reconciliation is
not open any more. The last act in the
warfare OF the clans took place a few
days ago. A number of persons had
gathered at the station, and the old
man, Thomas Bowen, and his two sons,
James and Blount, of the clan, were
there; also David and William Herring
ton. Old man Thomas Bowen, for some
cause, felt impelled to call David Her
rington coward OF course, this in
situation was cosus belli, and Her.
rington proposed to fight it out then
and there. The battle opened. Old man
Bowen drew pistol and shot David
Harrington; In another instant one of
the young Bowens fired also, emptyinp
the contents of double-barreled shot
gun in the already wounded man, and
struck him as he fell with the gun he
had just discharged. The battle then
ragged promiscuously; twenty or thirty
shots were fired; David Harrington was
killed outright, William Harrington,
his brother, was wounded, but escaped
by flight. Old man Bowen was shot in
the shoulder, and his son James receiv-
ed shot in the abdomen. The Bow
ems vowed vengeance on the Herring
ton clan, and the tragedy created no
little excitement at Haddock station.
David Harrington was regarded as a
desperate character, having only
short time ago taken the life of young
Hardeman, a friend of the Bowens.
He at last met tragic end at the hands
OF those upon whom he had warred for
several years. Other lives must be
surrendered in this terrible vendetta

Pork Packing.

referring to the subject of the expor-
tatlon of American meat to Great
Britain, the Western Rural says: 81 We
note that Englishmen are alive on the
subject. The demand for meat in Chi
cago for export is unusually small this
year. Usually much larger portion of
the pork crop has been sold in advance
for export than is the case now. The
reason is that British firms have estab
hshed packing houses in this country,
where they kill and pack their hogs af-
ter their own ideas of rendering it az
attractive as possible to their customers.
Finding that the American trade per
s1stently disregarded English tastes,
the foreigners have set up their own es-
adjustments here, buying just the sized
hogs they want, and putting them up
after their own fashion. The effect will,
undoubtedly, be to increase the con-
sumption OF American pork abroad; and
we shall soon see it ranking on a level
with, instead of 80 per cent. below,
Irish bacon. Another effect will be,
that English capital will be attracted
to the business, and American capital
driven out. The foreigners will have
such an advantage in the large margin
OF profit that they will be able to beat
out the home industry. Western farm
ers will be the better off when better
price is obtained for their pork, whether
foreigners Or natives have the handling
of it,

Bedding Stock on Manure.

A correspondent of the Journal of thu
Farm commenting on the plan some
times practiced in Prussia by which the
dung of cattle lies in stables, as a bed,
for several months, says: CT have
practiced similar mode for three
years, except I use no cistern for the
catching of the liquid excrement. At
ter the bed becomes over one foot deep,
the liquid is seldom seen, except in
passing over, it may be seen to ooze up
around the foot, which is easily RENE
died by putting on a quantity of leaf
mold which is kept in one end of the
stable for that purpose. I generally
leave it in the stable six months, then
it is hauled out to where it is wanted
and spread. Manure thus treated is
exceedingly rich, especially if the cattle
be fed grain. This manure is far supe-
rior to that which is left lying out IN
the rain and sun; indeed, l would not
give one load for two loads that are left
lying out in the yard for six months,
for every rain to leach and the sun to
watt the ammonia, ETC., in the air, and
which is worth but little more than SO
much rotten straw; indeed, the day is
not far distant, if not already here, when
the farmer will begin to find these mat
ters of no small Importance.

Windows in Stables

We find in German exchange some
curious observations on the manner in
which the position of the windows III
the stable affects the eyes Of the horse.
In one instance, the horses of farmer
fine animals, celebrated for their ex-
cellent cOndition-werek kept in q stable
lighted only by small window at the
side. When light was needed for work,
the door was temporarily left open the
result was that nearly all Of these ami
mails had eyes of unequal strength, and
LII time number of them became blind
on the side toward the window. A
strong light directly in the horses face
has been found to weaken the sight.
The worst position of all for stable
window is in front of the horses and
much higher than their heads. An
officer had bought a perfectly sound
mare from q gentleman whose stable
was lighted by window; at the rear of
the stalls. The animal was sound and
perfectly satisfactory. After three
months she became suddenly ground
shy; on examining her eyes, they were
found directed upward, and this was ex-
pla ned by the fact that the windows of
the officers stable were situated above
the head of the stalls, the eyes being
6 nerally drawn in that direction. She
was removed to another stable where
the light was admitted from all sides,
and in three months time the difficulty
had disappeared.
Another officer reports that during
the campaign of 1869, in France, he
rode horse that was capital jumper.
On his return from the war he placed
the animal In his stable, the windows of
which were above the front of the
stalls, and in short time the horse be-
came so shy of the ground that he had
to sell it. He found it so with other
saddle hors ;, all of which became
ground-shy i. his stall. One animal in
particular, a thorough bred mare, re-
nowned for her jumping qualities, re-
fused in short time to cross the small
est obstacle, and when forced to cross
the foot-wide gully, made a leap that
would have cleared ditch Il feet wide
Owners of horses who find that their
animals shy at objects on the ground or
at their side, would do we'll to look at
the windows Of their stables for an ex-
PLANTATION Of the evil.

A New TOuic---ss BOiGo.o,

Researches have been made on pro-

Boldo is tree found in Chill, of a
height of five or six feet, isolated on
mountainous regions, with yellow bios
SONS and a verdant foliage It's bark,
leaves and blossoms possess marked
aromatic odor, resembling a mixture OF
turpentine and camphor. The leaves
contain largely an essential OIL It con-
tains an alkaloid which is already called
"boldine.
It's properties are chiefly as stimu-
liant to digestion and having marked
action on the liver. Its action was dis
covered rather accidentally, thus: Some
sheep which were liver-diseased were
confined in an enclosure which hap
pened to have been recently repaired
with boldo twigs. The animals ate the
leaves and shoots, and were observed to
recover speedily. Direct observations

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
and Hogs.

The Sacramento, Cal, Union, gives
an account of the feeding of arsenic to
hogs, prefacing the statement with the
partially accepted belief that hogs are
inocuous to the effects of the poison of
rattlesnakes. The case in point, relat-
ing to feeding arsenic, will perhaps pre-
vent those who believe that arsenic will
not kill dogs, from using it. The state
ment is that ranchman named Burke.
residing on the Freeport road, few
miles below Sacramento, who was the
owner of eight or nine hogs, including
two that would weight 800 or 4OOpounds
each, found that one of the latter was
ailing, and was advised to give it dose
of arsenic He came to the city, pur-
chased four bits worth of the poison,
and, returning home, gave the animal a
large dose-a dose SO large that the
porcine could not keep it down. An
other dose was administered in trough
full of food, and after the sick hog had
been satisfied the trough was placed in
the hext pen, where the other animals
were.
Our contemporary remarks that, sim
gular as 1t may appear to some, the eff
feet OF the arsenic was to kill every hog
the man had, but the sick one died
last, which may show, perhaps, that the
sick hog was too near It's end to be af-
fected with the arsenic, and SO died
from disease, in spite of it.

Spontaneous Combustion i'm Hay.

The question of spontaneous com
bustion Is undoubtedly to be credited
with many of the burning of barns,
stacks, etc. Many fires in cities are
clearly traceable to this cause, for any
substance liable to decay, especially
vegetable fiber in state of compress
sion, and IN connection with moisture,
will heat, and sometimes break out into
flame. In our dry climate where hay
may be thoroughly cured before stack
ing, or moving, this combustion is rare.
but IN England it is not uncommon.
Able Moigno, in Les Mondes, gives
the following as the theory of the phe-
nomenon: Hay, when piled damp and
in too large masses, ferments and turns
dark. In decomposing, sufficient heat
is developed to be insupportable when
the hand is thrust into the mass, and
vapors begin to be emitted. When the
water is almost entirely evaporated, the
decomposition continues, and the hay
becomes carbonized, little by little; and
then the charred portion, like peat.
peat cinders mixed with charcoal, sui
phlrous pyrites and Ignite, ETC., be-
comes kind OF pyrophorus, by virtue
OF It's great porosity and of the large
quantity of matter exposed to high oxi-
dation. Under the influence of air in
large amount, this charcoal becomes
concentrated on the surface to such q
degree that the mass reaches temper
allure which results in it's bursting into
flames.

bat upon hy an English amateur, whose

diameter, an impression from which
can be afterwards enlarged to the
necessary size. The plate is fixed into
an ordinary locket or keepsake hang
ing from watch chain, and can be Id
denly exposed, by atouch of the finger,
on entering room, and an image taken
