Messrs. Kirk 4 Walker, doing bus.
iness on Market street, and 8. L. Nc.
Gavic, doing business on Jefferson
street, have . bell telephone from
one office to the other. Yesterday Q
farmer drove up the Office Of Kirk &
Walker and called two or three
times without being heard. He no.
ticed the wire only short distance
above his head, and supposing It to
be bell wire, grabbed and gave it q
yank, which tore it loose at both ends,
and the apparatus came tum bling down
ina heap in the floor. Walker armed
himself with . double barreled shot
gun and two or three reyolvers and
such other ordnance ~. happened to
be handy and went cunning for the
fellow who had torn down his tele-
phone. The farmer was sitting con.
tentedly in his wagon and when
Walker made his appearance he re-
marked, II have raised you have /.
I am sorry I broke your bell rope,
but come running next time"
Yesterday the adog catcher" was
driving along the streets, in the low
or part Of the city, when An old lady
of Milesian descent came running Of.
ter him, her hair flying like white
cloud behind, and her pet dog follow
ing close in the rear.
In . loud tone of voice she callel
out: "Mister, ! say, mister, have ye
ony chickens to SELL" taking his do
cart for . huxter wagon.
The fellow waited until che w
by his side, when he dextrousl
threw his lasso over her dogs hca
and in less than second had him |
the wagon and was driving away.
This was = little too much for Il
old lady and she broke forth: "I

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

From careful investigation of the
facts we are convinced that the fire
was the work of an incendiary, some
low, vicious miscreant, who desired
to do Mr.. Ferguson an injury. There
is but little doubt but the barn was
fred in the loft window on the north
side, as there was where the fire first
appeared, and Immediately run over

ing as flue. This will account for
the rapidity with which the fire
epread through the stable.
Ottumwa weekly courier., 1878-10-30

On the barn there was an insur-
ance Of $2,700 in the Hawkeye Insur-
ance Company, and some $500 on
grain, hay, harnesses, farming inple.
ments, buggies, &C., and $500 on
horses, making a total insurance OF
&, 4,00O-a mere bsgatelle to the LOST

STANDING IDLE.-The Charlton
Patriot says: Owing to some misun-
derstanding about wages the works
of the Whitebreast Coal Company at
Cleveland have been standing idle
about three weeks. When the Com.
pany got ready for work after the
fire, they offered the miners $l.75 per
day to clean up the mines ready for
work, but they demanded 81, which
the Company said they could not af-
ford 20 pay. How long this state of
things will continue is pro blematical.

On Saturday evening last, about IL
o'clock, the barn on the Linn Valley
stock farm, near Marshalltown, was
burned, together with twenty head of
fine horses. The barn aud stock prin-
cipally belonged to g. w. Ferguson.
The Times says:
The following are the names and
supposed value of the horses burned I:
Trymeon was valuable horse, and
| 1t was believed among horsemen that
he was going to be . very fast one,
already having trotted in 2 :26; his
value. of course, was somewhat spec
lative, as it depended upon the record
he might make In the future, but
might be estimated at 5000, five
thousand had been refused for him.
Smuggler,s . fine 8 year-old stallion,
valued at $1,000.
Grey Eagle, 6 years old, 1880.
Brown Eagle, 4 years old, $500.
Bruiser, 3 years old, $500.
Wick, fine Clydesdale stallion,
$1,000.
johnny Bull, an English draft
horse, $1,000.
Young Grey Eagle, 8 years old,
81, 600.
Young Messenger Chief, years
old, 81, 500.
Old Edwin Forrest, the grand sire
of Edwin Forrest, the celebrated trot-
ter, and the sire of the Forrest race,
% years old. This horse was still
valuable and serviceable, although ii
could not be expected he had many
years to live, in the ordinary course
of nature, we will place him at 81 900
The stations, valued at $20,5OO, all
cremated, gone out in smoke and
| flame.
In addition to the above list oi
stallions, there were five valuable
mares, belonging to Mr.. Ferguson
the cream of his stock, worth from
three to five hundred dollars each
$4,000, making Mr.. Ferguson's loss il
horses alone, $4,000. There wer,
two or three mares owned by othe
parties, left there for service to Man
) chester, said to be very valuable one.
Five set of harness were burned
saddles, brides, farming utensilt
! grain, hay, &c, in all :worth at leas

|, we suppose, must be between thre
! and four thousand dollars, as it wit

"CaH you tell me how to make
Indian pudding with suet so
that the suet viii be in transpa-
rent Jumps when done?
Ans.--Scald ore quart of milk,
and while boiling stir in sufi-
cient corn meal yellow is best)
to make a thick hut not stiff
batter; add salt TO taste. Re-
move from the fire and stir till
cool. Pick over half a pound
of beef suef, removing all that
is siringy, cat into pieccs the
size of chestnut and stir into
the meal when half cooked.
Beat with two eggs aud add
with two tablcspoonsfuI sugar
and two Of lnolasses. Season
with gingei. ard cinnamon.
Wet the pudding bag in hot wa
ter, fionr if and fill half full with
the mixture, tie it tight close to
the top Of the bag as the pud-
ding will swell. Boil five hours.
Dried whortleberrics added, say
two teacupsful, or stoned rails
ms with four sweet apples chop
ped fine are great improve
ment; Or, if acid is liked, four
sour apples instead Of sweet,
chopped fine would make it suf-
ficiently tart. Serve With cream
or hard sauce.
a baked Indian pudding may
be made thus: Two quarts seal
ding hot milk, one cup and a
] half yellow Indian meal, one la
biespooniul, Or less, of ginger.
| Let it staca and soak in the
scalded milk haze an hour; then
add one cup molasses, two eggs,
a piece OF butter the size on a
walnut. Bake two hours. This
recipe Is much improved with
whortleberries or raisins, and,
if liked, apples. But with this
change add a cup of suet cut in
small pieces and all stringy
parts removed.
How can / bone a ham?
Ans. Soak the ham all night
in tepid water. In the morning
put it in a kettle Of warm, not
hot, water, boil till perfectly
tender, put on a platter or
wooden tray, let it cool and
then carefully remove all the
bones. Then press it in shape,
tic it in a cloth, return to the
boiling liquor, take the pot off
the fife and leave the ham in the
liquor till cold; cut across like
a beef tongue when cold.

Sheep.

there Is scarcely farm upon

taxes. The beneficial effect upon
the land is we'll understood. He
himself has repeatedly purchased

SoOand sold in thefollowIng spring
nearly 500 Of lambs and wool,
having The flock left in good con
dition. His plan Of management is
TO bring up the sheep into tight
yard every night. This does rot
injure them. even in tho most
Sultry weather, as they are crea-
lures Of habit, Immediately lie
down aud runinate, and are then
ready To go to feeding as soon as
let out very early in the morning.
BY having the yard fence high
and strong, they are secure from
dogs. A three-quartcr South
down buck rnns with them, and
the lambs come in from the FIRST
of January to the middle of
March. Last year his early
lambs brought five dollars each,
some of them not much over two
months old. By having a good
shelter, not too close, the lambs
will do well, and after they are a
few weeks old there should be a
place for feeding them separate
from the sheep. They will soon
be marketable. A pen made'Of
poles across the sheep yard, ac-
cessible to the lambs and to the
sheep, will answer the purpose,
Ii our, farmers can once be i'll
duced to ascertain the value Of
sheep, we will not be long in pre-
curing proper law for their pro-
'tection from dogs, as we are very
apt to become earnest about what
touches our finances.

TAR on Fruit Trees.

According to the experience
of Mr.. Henry Reynolds, of
Montgomery county, N. c., tar
is perfect remedy for SCARED
and sun-cracked apple trees.
He says that by coating with
new tar the trunk of a favorite
fruit bearer that was cracked
and so decayed that the bark
was dead and would peal off he
has restored it fully. He APP
plies it to all branches that show
signs of decay. Since practi-
sing this cheap remedy he has
not been troubled with insects.
By applying tar to the trunk,
and clearing away the surface AT
the roots, so as to let. it run
down on them, peach-tlecs bad
ly damaged are fully restored.
Replace the dirt, and you will
have no more trouble with the
tree for two years or more. If
the tar is applied to young trees
the borers Will not trouble them
at all. He states that the coat
ing should be applied in the
winter OF early in the spring.

Broad Chested Horses.

can old Horseman" is credit
ed in an exchange with these
logical remarks about the broad
chested horses: Wind is the
grand secret of a fast horse.
Good lungs will cover a multi
tude of faults; while, on the
other hand, perfection of shape
and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, there
fore, in all cases should be large
and capacious. In shape it may
vary somewhat, according to the
service TO which the horse is put.
If he is to be kept for slow
work and heavy drawing the
chest may be nearly circular in
form, because this shape is the
one for strength and bulk, to
receive and bear up against the
pressure of the collar; while at
the same time sufficient room
is secured for that expansion of
the lungs caused by slow and
regular work. But if the chest
is circular, let it be at the same
time deep, or else the lungs may
be cramped. A horse with a
shallow chest is worthless for
any purpose. The rule, then, is
this: For a draught horse,
circular, but deep chest; but as
you pass through the different
degrees Of speed, up to the IA
Ger and trotter, the chest will
increase in depth, compared to
its roundness, until for the high
est rate of speed, you must have a
chest as deep as a greyhound,
and at the same time not lack
ing in breadth. Every breeder
should keep this rule in mind
when selecting his brood mares
and stallion, for he may be sure
that shallow chested parents
never beget deep-chested colts.
