Hedge Fence.

J. +. Winshop, OF Rush county,
Indiana gives the following advice
for growing substantial hedge
fence: ''Cultivate just rs thoroughly
as yeu would row OF corn for three
years, keeping the ground loose and
mellow, not allowing tho stock TO
nip or browse II; protect ID while 1t
IL small, and In three years ii will
protect itself. In the spring when
it Is four years old, cut all the stalks
half Off at the top OF tho ground,
bending them down TO an angle OF
forty-five degrees, so as to make 1t
thick and tight Mt the bottom. IL
will DO necessary to weight IL down
to the proper angle Till II gets firmly
set and begins to grow. Thon re-
move your weights, trim all 10 the
same height. Let IL be until the
young growth IL about one foot high,
cut bnck 10 old brush, after which
you may trim TO your own fancy.
You will have fence that will pro-
tect your farm against any and all
kinds Of stock, and will bo an orna-
ment to your farm.o

For more than a month the gov
eminent has been purchasing caval-
ry horses in Kansas City for use in
the Crook expedition against the
Sioux and the Cheyenne Indians.
Only the best class Of horses were
accepted, and first-class prices were
paid. The'yery cream of the horse
flesh in Western Missouri and East
ern Kansas was selected and pur-
chased. A few days ago a number
of these fine, fat animals were ship
ped westward over the Kansas Pa
cific, destined for Cheyenne and the
military posts further north. The
horses Jared well, and were being
rapidly borne westward over the
plains in cattle cars at the rate of at
least fifteen miles per hour. when on
Tuesday morning the accident below
described occurred. The train had
just left Wild Horse Station,
watering place on the plains, when
fire broke out in the loose hay in
or near a car loaded with horses.
The alarm was given at once, and
the train stopped on the main track
and al attempt made to get the now
frantic and suffering horses out Of
their fiery prison. But it was found
impossible. There was no chute
near nor gangway plank down
which the horses could have been
led. The car soon became one mass
of fire, fame, and smoke. The cries
and screams of the struggling ami
mails are described as narrowing and
hrriblc in the extreme. Finding it
Impossible to extricate any of the
noble animals from their terrible
condition, the men in charge brought
out their firearms and proceeded to
shoot the horses out Of their misery.

done in the name of humanity. and
the boys felt justified in so doing.
When the eastern bound passen-
ger train passed the scene, on Fri
day, the car was still burning, the
horses being roasted into one solid
mass Of charred meat. Some of
the passengers from whom these de-
tails were obtained) described the
scene as one quite sickening to be.
hold. ... -. t....
No particular blame can attach to
the train-men or those having charge
of the horses. The fault lies with
those who placed open cars con-
tanning hay directly in the rear of a
spark scattering locomotive.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
of the reports that Tive, horHlons of

Mexico, that there IL more truth than
fiction in them. The policy Of the

but recent events prove there was
foundation for these ruInors. The

been finished, and the programme il

To- his father. Emigration from the
southern portion Of the Territory to
their new I'll Dorado, on tho head

Mexico, will then commence i'm

Brigham. 1t Ia understood that the
purchase OF a large body OF lard by
the prophet has been concluded; aud
now thht tho roads have become
passable, they are beginning to take
formal possession. There they will
DO as isolated from the Gentle world
AS they were twenty years ago In

that the Legislature OF Now Mexico

Mormon money 10 pass an election
bill similar 10 that in Utah Terrific

The editor of the Rural World,
and who is good authority on such
subjects, Says: A corn is q bruise
Of the sole of the foot, producing
extrayasation of blood, and in .
majority of cases is the result Of
faulty or neglected shoeing. The
treatment consists in removing all
pressure of the shoe from of the
seat of the corn and its contiguous
parts. A bar shoe answers the pur-
pose best when properly adjusted.
The editor Of the Cedar Rapids
Times gives this account Of his
farming by proxy: 'One year ago
last fall the writer of this gave
Jas. Hannah, farmer on the west
side, two 4-months old Berkshire
pigs and four Poland China hogs,
about year old, to keep on the
shares for one year. At the close
of the year, last fall, the account
stood as follows: Cash received for
hogs sold, Sl43; No. of hogs on
hand, %, worth, say, at very low
figure, so each, making a total of
$3.50 as the product of six hogs in

Mr.. J. III. Sanders, editor of the

purpose which he has many years

Not great many people know
that the popular and genial Gov
ernor General Lord Dufferinl had
the misfortune to lose the use OF one
Of his eyes. sincs by wearing glass

misfortune has more than once been
the occasion Of amusing rencontres,
one OF which / especially remember,
and no Offense could. in telling il,
be supposed to lie given, since the
iordship has told the story himself.
While travelling through Ireland
lhis native land some years ago,
Lord D., when near his destination,
made use Of the TRADITIONAL jaunting-
bar. Paddy, the driver, was on that
day particularly loquacious and COM
municativs, and during the journey
volunteered great deal OF informa-
ton on tho different subjects that
presented themselves, and this flow
of conversation was all the more
free and easy since no had not the
slightest idea of the rank Of his pas
senger. Not 10 be unsociai, the fu-
ture Governor-Generai asked Paddy
what news no had to tell OF the
neighborhood. "As for news, yer
honor" replied the unsuspecting
driver s'shurs / know Of no news
that would intcrist a gintleman Ioike
yerseif, unless Ii IL that that one-eyed
Dufherin Is goin' to marry Kate
Hamilton" Though his Iordship
inwardly enjoyed the joke, he was
gracious enough to deny himself the
privilege of seeing the state OF con-
sternation the laxative car-drivcr
fell into when he found that the
"one-eyed Dufferln" he had spoken
30 faInillarly or and his passenger
were ono and tho same person.
