SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.


When we suggested the cremation oI
al animal and vegetable refuse, by the
astablishment of furnaces along the
wster front, we pointed out a reliable
means of converting o collection OF
joathsome and disease breeding matter
into a perfectly innocuous and even
valuable material for filing or manure.
That garbage can be burned to pure
ashes without causing any disagreeable
odors is beyond question. Many house.
keepers in this city never throw out
garbage to burden the air with horrible
stenches. They burn it with q full
draught in their stoves and ranges, and
do not experience the least trouble or
inconvenience on account of smells in
40 doing. What can be done in one
household can be done in one thousand.
The false economy that spares few
mounds of coal, and fills the old barrel
In the back yard with rotting vegetables
and animal refuse, is RESPONSIBLE for
much of the garbage difficulty. Let
the city build furnaces out of the money
that can be very easily saved by judi.
cious reduction of the expenses of, say,
the street~cleaning bureau, and with
these burn the garbage of the poor; but
the citizens who are able to keep kitchen
stoves or ranges SD, uld burn all the
refuse in these and deposit nothing on
the sidewalk receptacle but ashes. The
reader may ask: How can this be done
Will not terrible smell result from the
burning OF the entrails of fowls, fishs

with its fullest power up the chimney.
The result is ths5 the bottom OF the
garbage is at once on fire, it burns, and
the gases and vapors are carried directly
through the flames of combustion and
into the chimney. As the fire gets
stronger with the drought of air the
combustion is more rapid, until every
particle of matter deposited is consumed.
With common care it is physically inn
possible that any malodorous gases or
vapers can escape into the apartment,
because the tendency of the air from
every direction is toward the fire and up
the chimney. Setting down the cost of
coal at five dollars, we win add to it
that of little trouble taken in we'll
ordered households every afternoon.
The SUM will represent the cost per
&nnum to cremate the garbage of each
family. In this way enc of the excuses
for the ineficiency of the STRENGTHENING
bureau would be rendered vain.

For several years we have published
every spring directions for preventing
crows from pulling corn by covering the
seed with tar, and we reprint them
below, hoping that all our readers who
are troubled by crows viii follow them,
for we believe This method the cheapest,
easiest, and most successful ever devised |;
indeed, as far as our experience and
observations 60, it is absolutely perfect.
Crows will not pull corn which is COW
cred with tar, and it costs but few
cents ia money and q few minutes' time
to coat all the seed that any farmer
uses.
For peck of corn take half q pint Of
common tar; put the tar into kettle,
pour 10 three quarts of boiling water.
Stir it for moment, or until the tar is
dissolved; then as quickly as possible
pour IL the corn, and stir it rapidly uns
til every kernel has got a black coat.
Then turn off the water and throw i'm a
ahoyelful of land plaster or roadsdust,
and stir the mixture until all the kerr
nels are separated and covered with the
plaster or dust. The Last addition Is
merely to prevent the corn from sticking
and enable one to drop it readily. Some
people are are afraid to use this plan, for
tear the corn will be cooked by the hot
water, 30 il will not sprout, but If you
work rapidly there isn't q bit Of danger.
The water can not be too hot when you
begin. The corn viii be q little longer

ANOTHER DISASTROUS FIRE.

Destruction south aud East ofThat
NllaKe-Frank Worley

N~llage-Frank Worley
Probably Fatally
Burned.
For several days past fires have been
creeping lazily over the bottom land south,
west and east from Gayville, at times spring
ing into alarming activity as the wind grew
stronger and again subsiding with the
breezes. Last nights gale freshened these
fires, and drove them into the higher grass
and timber, where they rapidly increased
in magnitude. At dark the whole eastern
sky was lighted up, and those who saw the
co~nfagration from town knew that de.
struction was in progress. From County
Superintendent Dickson, who came up from
Gayville this morning to procure the servi.
ces of DR.. Van Velsor in behalf of Frank
Morley. who was badly burned, we have
gained a few particulars Of the night OF
terror in and about Gayville. A fire from
the south, which started in Haggin's bend,
reached Gayville about five o'clock yester-
day afternoon, jumped the railroad track
and passed in a northeasterly direction
The people fought it off and retired for the
night, deeming themselves safe. About
midnight the entire population was aroused
to ~encounter a new danger. Fires were
coming towards the town from the south
and east, driven by the gale which had q.
that time reached its height. During the
balance Of the night the advancing flames
we're comba,ed and by severe labor the
town was saved, though 1t was at one time
almost surrounded by wall of flame. The
grass on the bottoms is from four to seven
feet high and lie as dry az finder. With the
strong wind blowing it Is o miracle tina,
anything escaped.
MIR. Dickson was unable to give particu-
lars OF all the destruction south and east OF
Gayville, as he left tie scene at an early
hour this morning. He saw several houses
and barns burning and knows that many
csttle and a large amount of hay and grain
must have been destroyed. He knows that
the houses, stables and other property be-
longing TO Frank Morley and Alonzo Goss
we're burned. Mr.. Worley was himself
caught in his stable by the advancing
fl.mes,' while e%ndeavoring to ssve his
horses. and so badly burned that his life is
despaired Of. All bis clothing was burned
of and his head and face severely scorched.
His house was located about three and one.
half miles south of Gayville auc . half a
mile farther south were the house and build.
ings of Alonzo Goss. who lost everything,
including q half a dozen cows. Mr.. Dickson
will procure further particulars Of the con-
aagrstion for our use. The FIRE is still
burning and more damage may be inflicted.
