\ DIABoLICAL OuTRAGE-BRUNsoN, May II.
"A special train of fourteen cars besides en-
ginc and tender, from Augusta for Ycmassee,
was totally wrecked at Camp Branch, sixteen
miles below here, en- Saturday, at clock in
the morning. The wreck was caused by upright
distractions placed in the cattle guard by some
dabocal demon.
At the place there is heavy down grade, and
the engineer, Mr.. Samuel Davis. was unable TO
prevent his locomotive striking the obsructionss
with full force. Tho force with which the OBJ
structions were struck by the locomotive caused
four freight cars and the engine to be turned
over to one side Of the track. Mr.. Anthony
Gibbs, the fireman, instantly killed 10y the
locomotive falling on him. 1t is said that pas
sing trains in this neighborhood have several
times lately been shot into by some persons con-
cealed in the woods. a negro was arrested on
suspicion last night and sent to Jail others are
suspected and closely watched The locomotive
and eight box cars are a complete wreck. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. All the freight
was saved.-NewS and Courier.

News From Cross Keys.

~ news FROM cross Keys.
Mr.. EpIroR Perhaps a few lines from our
section hid not be entirely void of interest to
some Of SS6r many readers. Although there is
nothing of unusual interest in or about Cross
Keys.
The farmers are quite busy now in their
crops, which is rather in advance Of the last few
years. Cotton still seems to be the ruling elc-
ment, the acreage far exceeding that of last
year. 1t seems hard for the farmers to realize
the fact that it is more economical to raise their
own supplies than to raise cotton and buy them,
ESPECIALLY at the low prices that they are receiv-
ing for it..
Wheat is almost failure in some places, in
other sections, unless some unseen disaster
comes upon it, half or perhaps two-thirds of
q crop will be made. The yield, however. per
acreage will fall far short Of last year. l learn
that the. fly is playing havoc with it in some
portions. This fly is a small insect belonging l
believe to the gnat family, and is very prolific,
the eggs, when deposited, Matching in from six
t, ten days. They quit the wheat soon as
the blooming season is over and descend abeut
an inch into the earth and there remain all the
winter. | have noticed that the fly troubles the
wheat more after mild than q severe winter,
also, that in countries where the winters are
mild and short it is necessary to abandon the
wheat crop for several years, to get rid of them
by starvation.
Politics is rather at n low cbb. Ii seems hard
tc get our people reused up on the matter of
politics. The idea of organizing democratic

few are determined to run the whole affair Civ

matter; referring to the acts of the last
Nominating Convention, which, they claim, was

"Speed the PLOtU.o
Wasted Labor OH the Farm.

The waste of labor on the farm is one of
the greatest drawbacks to success. ANY
fool can make money if be will, but to
know how to save his labor is not SO easy.
The waste in gathering crop and feeding
out the products of the farm to stock is
bad enough, but to throw ones labor away
to no purpose is too bad. The men who
succeed are those who look ahead, and so
manage their work as to diminish instead
of increasing it and as for slow-motion-
ed work animal, they wouldn't have one as
a gift. There are others, however, who al.
though they work hard every day and are
up early and late, are always behindhand,
because they never think of so arranging
their work as to make the labor of to-day
q sort of connecting link with that of to-
morrow. Each days work is done as if
there were no more days to come. The
former study their business and make ev-
cry lick count, not by hitting twice in the
same place with dull axe when one cut
with sharp one would sever the stick, but
by so arranging their work that each days
labor would bear some relationship to that
ofthe next. In this way they are never in
hurry, do one thing at time, and move
right along.
Look at our Quaker farmers No man
ever saw one of these people in a hurry
They always 60 slow, take things easy, new
er get in q fret about anything, and have
finer farms and better stock than ever the
Prince of Wales did in all his life. The
secret of their good health and well-to-do
condition lies in their brain-work. They
are close students on the farm, and little
labor is ever lost. Economy in labor, that
is, to do much with little efforts their
chief aim, and has contributed more to
their prosperity than anything else. Fol-
low their example, then, and you will never
be heard complaining of hard times.

Be liberal to your farms, and they will
be liberal to you. A farm is very much in
one respect like q looking glass reflects
the character of the owner exactly. If he
is parsimonious his farm will show it. If
he is man of taste, his buildings, fences,
and the general arrangement Of the farm
will tell the tale. No effort on his part to
disguise his real thoughts or sentiments
will avail anything SO long as the opera
tions of his farm belle his words. The far
mer who invests freely in his farm is sure
to be paid we'll for his risk and trouble
Liberaity in providing utensils is the saw
ing of both time and labor The more per-
feet a farmers tools, the more profitable
are they. So, also, it is with his working
cattle and his stock. The most perfect in
their kinds are the most profitable. Lii
berality in good barns and warm shelter is
the source Of health, strength and comfort
to animals, causes them to thrive on less
food and secures from damage all sorts of
crops. Liberality also in the provision of
food for domestic animals is the source of
flesh, muscle and manure. Liberality to
the earth, in seed, culture and compost, is
the source of its beauty.

Corn Meal and Wheat Bran.

The following paper was prepared by
Isaac Eyre for the Bucks county agrlcul-
tural society:
If ton of corn meal is worth $50 for
feeding dairy cows or fattening stock,
what is the value of ton Of wheat bran
for the same purpose ? The answer to this
question depends very much on the man
ner of using the two articles. If they are
to be fed separately, the bran is not worth
much if any more that corn meal. But if
they are to be mixed together and fed to
milk cows, the bran is worth the most by
about fifty per cent. of the excess in the
bulk of the bran, and bran being more than
twice as bulky as the meal, the difference
in favor of the bran will be in the neigh
borhood of SIS or So per ton. mean by
this that two quarts of corn meal and three
quarts Of bran, given at one feed, will pro-
duce quite as good results as four quarts of
clear cornmeal; and, as the three quarts
of bran will weigh about two.thirds as
much as the two quarts of meal, the diff
ference in favor of the bran is fully So per
tom I make this difference when fed to
milk cows, but if fed to steers for beef
consider the proportions should be differ
ent. That is, three quarts of meal should
be mixed with two quarts of bran, to pro
duce the best results. But one of the most
valuable uses for which coarse wheat bran
can be applied is to feed it to laying hens
about once day, changing it on alternate
days from the morning to thenoon or even
ing feed, by mixing it with pure warm
water or with milk. 1t has been found
that hens fed about once day on wet
bran, and once day on corn or oats, will
lay many more eggs in given time than
if fed entirely on one kind of feed there
fore, bran for feed for that kind of stock is
worth fully 30 per cent. more than corn or
corn meal. But if the bran is to be the on
ly feed, then the meal would be the more
