AT Island Pond, Vermont, num-
Der OF school children drank from a
little brook OF water into which po-
taDo tops had been thrown, on which
Paris green had been used. The
carcasseS OF dead animals had also
been thrown into the brook and the
water was SO thoroughly poisoned
that nine Of the children have al
ready died, and Others viii probably
follow. There is terrible distress in
the community about it work is
suspended and the excitement is
great.

Horrible Death of the PIiaee Imperial at
the Hands of the Zulus.
The .ollowing are additional psrticu>
lars OF the death OF the prince imperial:
The body of the prince when found lay
on its back. There were eighteen asse-
gal stabs in it, two of them piercing the
body from the chest 10 the back, two
inside, and one destroying the right eye.
A locket with hair medallion and relie-
quar- were found around his neck. The
ace wore placid expression. He had
evidently Intellectually tried to mount,
the leather OF the flap breaking. Tne
troopers lay near the body, both ssse>
gated. The prince was very Adventure
Gus. An official account says: The
prince, with lieutenant Carey, of the
ninety eight regiment, six men and one
friendly Zulu, left the camp at Kelitz9
mountain, seven miles beyond Blood
river, on the first instant, Tor recon-
noissance. The party halted and unsad-
died when ten miles from the camp.
Just as the prince gave the order
to remount, volley was fired
from ambush in the long grass.
Deserted by his companions, lieutenant
Carey and four of the troopers, returned
to the camp and reported that the prince
and two troopers were missing. From
their statements there could be no doubt
that the prince was killed. A party O.
the Seventh Lancers with an ambulance
started on the 2nd instant to recover the
body of the prince, which was found and
brought in on the same day.
A special dispatch says: At daybreak
a cavalry patrol under General Marshall
lett to search for the prince, and went to
Kraals, ten miles further on. The body
was discovered among the long grass,
three hundred yards from Kraal. There
was no bullet wound, but, seventeen
assegai wounds were in the front Of the
body. The clothes had been taken, but
round the neck was cnain with a locket.
A stretcher Of lances was formed and the
body borne by General Marshall and
officers Drury, Lowe and Stewart, OF the
Seventeenth Lancers 10 meet the ambu-
lance, b which it WAS then brought
hither with an escort. There was
a funeral parade in the afternoon.
Deep sorrow prevail. throughout the
column. The prince did not mount
after the attack, his morse being FESTIVE,
but ran atoot. The cJrpse will leave
with an Escort for transportation home>
ward. Another special from south
Africa says: The prince imperial had
been sent forward by the quartermaster
general TO select q site for the next camp.
When the voIley was fired not single
Zulu was to be seen. The party dispersed
and sought safety under cover. Inc
prince was never seen alive again, and
his horse joined lieutenant Carey's party
on their road back to the camp.

FARM NOTES,

Sheep, owing to their shyness, should
be treated with great kindness. Their
treatment should be such that they will
actually learn to entertain an affection
for their keepers.
Cows should never be psstured with
pigs, sheep, geese or chickens. They all
render the grass offensive to the nester
animal. The horse can pasture with
neat cattle.
A little dry sand covered over pots
toes when they are first put in the cellar
will destroy any unpleasant odor they
may have. A sprinkling of dry. air
Stacked lime will mitigate tendency TO
rot.
1t is supposed that eating rich clover
pssture wet with dew or recent rains is
dangerous to cows, as producing bloat.
But when dry there is but little danger,
If the COWS sre not too hungry and un-
used TO such food.
Prof. Riley says that for feeding silk
worms there is no sppreciable difference
between the Ossge orange and the null
berry. 1t would be step in advance it
the hedge should become the feeding
ground of the silk worm.
Oil cake must be fed to COWS alone
Fer COWS that are dry feed two pounds
of oil cake with four to six pounds OF
corr meal per day. Avoid sameness in

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
The Army or Gras. worm.

The insect is with us every year. In
ordinary seasons, when it is not exces-
sively numerous, it is seldom noticed !:
l., because the moths are how, swift fly,
ers, and nocturnal in habit; 2, because
the worms, when young, have protective
coloring, and when mature, hide during
the day at the base of meadows. In
years of great abundance the worms e
generally unnotlced during their early
life. and attract attention only when,
from crowd ng too much on each other
or from having exhausted the food sup
ply in the Gelds in which they Matched,
they are forced from necessity to migrate
to fresh pastures in great bodies. The
earliest attain full growth and commence
to travel in armies, TO devastate our
fields, and TO attract attention, about
the time that winter wheat is in the
milk-this period being two months
later in Maine than in southern Missou>
ri, and they soon afterwards descend into
the ground and thus suddenly disappear,
to issue again two or three weeks later as
moths. In the latitude of St. Louis the
bulk of these moths lay eggs, from which

worms, which become moths AGAIN late
in July or early in August Excep-
tiOnally a third generation of worms
may be produced from these. Further
north there is but one generation snnu-
ally. They hibernate, and oviposit soon
after vegetation starts in spring. The
chrysalides may also hibernate, and
probably do so to a large extent in the
more northern states. The eggs are in
serted between the sheath and stalk, or
secreted in the folds OF blade; and MAJ
ture and perennial grasses are preferred
for this purpose. The worms abound in
wet springs preceded by one or more dry
years. They are preyed upon by nus
merous enemies, which so efectuslly
check their increase. whenever they
usually abound that the second brood,
when it occurs, is seldom noticed and
two CREST army worm years have never
followed each other, and are not likely
to do so. They may be prevented from

A writer in the Farm Journal seems
to have a proper understanding OF the
farmers position at this time, and very
correctly remarks: "The margin OF
profits to make farming pay is not to
run off on side issues, and 30 neglect the
business in hand, but by higher cultivs-
ton, improved methods OF tillsge, econ
omical management, and by greater in
dustry seek 10 swell the profits Pro
miscuous mixing the trades will do very
well for gentlemen farmers who are not
dependent for their bread and butter Oh
farm products. For those who are de-
pendent, it is better policy to do one
thing at time, do it well and with all
ones might.
The use of salt in the care of farm
animals seems to aid an economical dl>
gestion, and assists assimilation of the
rec uisite normal amount OF food; while
it is also believed that it makes the flesh
harder and gives the animal functions a
more regular and healthy action. In
England the average daily allowance OF
salt is Tor calves one ounce per day, year
old animals three ounces, istteniDg oxen
six ounces and mich cows four ounces.
Sheep, it is said, will never stray
rom Enclosures where salt is kept for
their constant use, provided, OF course,
running water is also found in the pas
ture.
A correspondent wishes to know the
origin and way to prevent MARBLES get
ting in the backs of cattle. The eggs
which produce this MARBLE are laid by a
large and beautiful CAD fly, on the back
of csttle, in August and September.
They are scientifically called pstruS BOvis
and are much larger than the horse bot
iy. The latter flies lay their eggs On
the hair of the horse, while the cattle
CAD flies deposit their eggs in the skin, by
the means OF a sharp instrument, which
causes great pain to the cattle, making
them run and below about the pasture.
At this season of the year they are still
in the csttle's back, but will work their
wsy out in June and July, and fall to
the ground in chrysalis state, where, in
about forty or fifty days, it comes forth
q beautiful bOt.fy. Cattle owners can,
by moving their hands along the cattle's
back feel the punches caused by these
MARBLES. With the fingers they can be
squeezed out and destroyed, which all
farmers should attend to, as no cattle
can thrive With them. 1t is difficult to
prevent them from being deposited in
the cattle, as the eggs are placed under
the skin and can no mere be found or
removed until they assume size enough
to be late. They can be found and re-
moved in the winter or spring: They
are q nauseOus and disagreeable animal,
and very annoying to the stock lows

" Think q Minute First"
Harper's Magazine,


Apropos OF the sayings of the little
ones, l am reminded of an incident
which touched me very much at the
time, and may find responsive
chord in the hearts of some who are
parents. l was sitting on my porch on
pleasant summer morning, when up
runs little fve-year-old Bell, intent on q
visit to q playmate across the way.
Papa" she asks, /" may l 90 over and
play with Carrie while ?" and then IS
she seemed to discern a dissent in my
race, she put her little rosebud lips to
mine, and quickly added: " Please don't
say no-think q minute first" Was
there ever a more charming protest
against hssty and unconsiderate an
swer? OF course the little girl had her
wish. We'sre perhaps, 81 too ready, to
deny many of the requests OF the little
ones-things that seem trifing to us
but are everything TO them. And when
their appeals come, before letting the
"nO" rise too quickly to our lips, let us
think a minute.

THE CYCLONE.
Some IncIdents Not Before PublIshed Ro-
Rnrdin9 the Terrible Kansas Tornado.
Kansas City Journal.


gnrdInS the Terrible Kansas Tornado.
Kansas City Journal.
From Myron Smith, Esq, of Logan,
Ottawa county, Kansas, many items OF
interest are gathered concerning the re-
cent tornado. 1t commenced near the
county line between Lincoln and Saline
counties. 1t was in the usual form,
forward movement slow, rotary motion
rapid. 1t moved little east of north.
Near the divide line between the Saline
and Solomon rivers it seemed to rise
and pass off in eddies, the damage on
the hills being very slight.
Passing by the numerous casualties
and other facts already known, we
shall give a few incidents which Mr..
Smith firmly believes to be true, but
which may be exaggerated.
Near the farm of Samuel Mcbride
the storm ceased to remain stationary,
and such was the force of it that sew
eral men declare it to be a fact that a
well was sucked" dry and portion OF
the wall taken out. The river was
swept dry for mile, dry enough for an
army OF Israelites to pass over dry shod.
The farm of Mr.. Cronise was stripped.
Out OF fifteen horses only three were
lett for duty. Mr.. McBride's horses,
cattle aud hogs were all taken across
the river and killed.
After passing the Solomon, as the
ground rose, the storm scattered in ed
dies.
At Meredith q horse was taken up,
and, dropping stiff-legged, his legs were
driven into the ground to his body. At
the same time young man was taken
up, an B., while in the air, was tumbled
ali around the horse, sometimes above
and sometimes below, and was bruised
by contact with the flying animal, but
happily the young man was dropped
gently as a feather bed, and the horse as
above stated. He crawled up inside 8
straw-stsck, but, being in danger OF
being covered by the straw, he wandered
out on the prairie. Here he found a
child with a fence stake through his
BODY, and barbed wire wound about it,
The child had not been identified at last
accounts. A woman was found nude,
her head in the earth, and dashed to
pieces. Her husband, now maniac,
vsinly stretches his hands heavenward,
crying, "ThereI there she's coming p
A young man and his wife ran from
their new house to the old dug out, but
failing to reach it, caught hold of some
willows, at the same time firmly cling
ing to each other. The willows whipped
the poor woman till she was uncon-
scious. When she recovered herself she
found herself embracing her dead hus.
band.
Another young couple saw the storm
coming and ran at right angles to its
path and Just barely escaped.
The killed were covered with dust
and dirt and were so blackened that
they could scarcely be identified. It is
said of one woman that although her
family were separated and child lost,
vet she assisted in preparing others for
burial. She had washed corpse and
suddenly discovered it to be her own
child. The strain was too great and she
il said to be 8 raving maniac. Mr..
Smith thinks that in the sixty-nine mile
course forty-fve were killed and one
hundred and twentysnine wounded
some of whom will die.
