A CRAsH.-A large stable in
the rear of the Randle property
on Clinton street, was on Tues
day reported to the city author
tiles as being dangerous, and
liable to fall down at any mo-
ment. The city marshal pro-
ceeded to investigate the mat
ter and found the family horse
of Mr.. w. H. Vinson, who oc-
cupies the premises, quietly
eating his dinner. He was re-
moved at once and the building
tottered by a slight push, when
an axe was procured and one
blow brought the structure to
the ground. School children
had been in the habit of play
ing in its shade while returning
from school, and doubtless a
serious accident has been
avoided.

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-About
three o'clock on Saturday after
noon a shower of rain came up
at the Volksfest ground. A
number of persons sought shell
ter under the committee room,
a frail structure, set on scdntlingS
some five or six feet from the
ground. Mr.. A. Jefries was
under it with his grand-daugh-
ter, aged about two years. The
building being overloaded COM
menced cracking and those on
the floor made their escape;
abont this time it fell, catching
Mr.. Jeffries under it, he having
just thrown his grandchild out
of danger. Mr.. ]. was very Sc
verely injured in his spine and
chest. He was at once placed
in a carriage and carried to his
residence.

THE SCHOOL LANDs.-It may
not be generally known that
Washington county owns four
leagues Of school lands in Tom
Green county; such however is
the fact. Parties are now here
proposing to the county COM
missioners' to lease the entire
four leagues fora term of ten
years at 5000 per year, or less
than two cents per acre per
year. This it would appear is
reductions low price. No one
seems to know anything of the
character or value of the land.
Tom Green is a new county and
is being rapidly settled up by
good class of citizens. A sound
policy would seem to dictate
the inexpediency, of tying up
such a large body of land, that
is likely to become available in
a very few years, for so long a
term as ten years on a merely
nominal rent. Let the matter
be thoroughly investigated be-
fore entering into such a lease
as the one proposed.

Farm Notes.

1t is fallacy that land needs bulk In ma
nure. a. hundred pounds of one material
will do more effective than ton of another
kind.
Feed your land before it gets poor. Give it
all the manure you can make and haul, and
it will enrich you. Starye it by taking off
the crops continually and returning nothing,
and it will bankrupt you. Feed the land
literally and it will feed and clothe you.
Peas and beans, corresponding more with
the elements of fat than the various grains,
are better adapted to the production of wool
than either wheat, corn, rye, barley, oats, or
buckwheat. These latter, together with the
rutsbaga turnip, being peculiarly adapted to
the production Of fat, should be used mostly
for the feed of sheep when undergoing the
process of fattening.
When horse stumbles, never raise vour
voice; he breads his masters Gliding. Never
jog the rains, the mouth of the horse is more
sensitive than the human lips. Never use
the lash; the horse is so timid that the slight
est correction overpowers Its reasoning faciIi-
ties. Speak to the creature; reass1re the
FACILITATING frame; seek to restore those per-
ceptions which will form the best guard
against reputation of the faulty action.

Agricultural Notes.

Every fowl-house should possess the
means of admitting sufficient light, either
through an ordinary window or through a
pane or two of thick glass in the sides, or
few glass tiles in the roof. In wet weather
the birds will be the more ready to take shell
ter within, while the inspection of the condi-
ton OF their domicile is the more readily per-
formed.
At all time regularity In feeding horses
Is necessary, as disease will often accrue
from suffering the animal to go too long with
out his small stomach, which soon becomes
empty, being filled, Staggers often arise
from this irregularity, which causes the ami
NAL to distend his stomach beyond ordinary,
from the avidity and yoracity with which he
eats bis food, not allowing time to chew it.
In drying by a gentle heat 1000 pounds
of common hay from the stack lost 1853 pounds
of water; of clover hay, 210 pounds; of DO
tatoes wiped dry externally, 759 pounds; of
white turnips, 900 pounds; of wheat, las
pounds, while of oats straw, 151 2S7 pounds.
OF course the quantity of water depends al
together on the state Of the specimens ex-
amined, hence analyses vary. One thousand
pounds of young grass contain 700 to 800
pounds of water; the same when thoroughly
air-dry, as hay, about 40 pounds. Straw
contains about the same amount.
In nutritious value roots compare with hay
In about the average proportion of one to
three. II now it is considered that thirty.
four tons of Swedes, nearly forty tons of car
rots aud seventy-four tons of mangold roots,
have been raised in Massachusetts to the
acre, and to each of these crops should be
added at least fifteen per cent. for the fodder
value of the yield of leaves, which were not
included in these estimates of weights,
clear demonstration is obtained of the in
creased amount of nourishment that may be
secured from an acre of roots rather than
from an acre in hay.
English dairy farmers attach much i'm
portance to liquid manure, which is accumu-
lated in tanks built for the purpose, and which
is drawn on the land at intervals. Grass
land is greatly improved by giving the cattle
pastured on it an allowance Of oil cake and
grain. The food which they claim is most
coyenient to give in the fields is linseed or
cotton cake. Meal may also be given. Boxes
or troughs arc placed at short distances from
each other, and thus the animals are readily
fed. The cost of artificial food is largely re
paid by the extra quality of the droppings,
which should be frequently scattered.
