LOUISVILLE, Aug. 23.-Last Friday night,
in Marshall county, near Brewers mill, three
persons were burned to-death by an explos.
ion of coal oil can. Mrs. Lyles and her
little daughter, and Mrs. Tyer and her
mother were the victims. Mrs. Lyles asked
her mother to fill the lamp while it was
burning. The oil can took fire
and exploded, throwing the burn
ing oil all over the parties
mentioned and setting their clothing on fire.
Their screams brought Mrs. Lyles to the
rescue, and in attempting to extinguish the
flames she was badly burned. Mrs. Tyer' 8

fingered until Saturday morning, wheu she
died in great agony. The catastrophe has
cast great gloom over all of Marshall

Nobody Missing.

One of the frat points of interest, to those
who had before been at the fire or had read
the GLOBE, was the rear of the Kelly & Co.
building where it was thought man had
been buried under the falling wall. The
rumors of the early morning were repeated
Throughout the gathering crowd of the later
morning with constantly increasing posi-
tiYeness, up to the point that the report
came direct from q man who saw
the Door fellow boat down and
covered out of sight by bricks and mortar.
Bnt the most dilligent inquiry and the most
earnest searching was not rewarded with
either name or appearance of the man who
saw the poor fellow go down. On the con-
trary it was quite clearly proven that no one
was caught under the falling wall. MIR.
Churchill one of the firemen, who was near
est by, was certain that everyone who had
been behind the building had left the place
covered by the falling wall some minutes
before the wall fells Other persons were
found who we're at the moment on the oppo-
site side of Sibley street, who say the whole
ground was brilliantly lighted as the brick
wall toppled and fell and they saw
that there was no one there. No
one could nave Deem tnere Wituout tnelt
having seen them. Finally, there was no.
body missing.
When, during the forenoon, the eastern
wall of the Averill & Co. building fell, there
was again cry that somebody had been
killed. Under the Auerbach & Co. ware
house there were five or six boys, just as the
wall sprang out and began to descend toward
the warehouse. The boys scampered out, as
only boys, or rails, or cats, could scamper
and doubtless all escaped. But the crowd
would have 1t that one Of the boys was

not migratory, and remain with us
the whole year, only shifting their

This is much in their favor. The
turkey in its wild state is much less
susceptible to being tanned, and the
original of our common barn fowl
can yet be found IN the jungles of

Value Of Mangel Worzels as Feed.

tice We have referred to from time

TO the Western New-York Farmers
Club-relative to root-ration and
cooking food for stock
"There is probably nothing we can
grow that will give us half the

ting and mixing with other more con-
centrated foods, will make tue nutri-
tive elements much more available.
and they are we'll adapted for feed
ing all kinds of stock. / have tried
them both raw and cooked. Even
for hogs. if you give them good
warm quarters, don't think it will
pay for the fuel used to cook them.
For feeding cattle or horses. | shsuld
most assuredly recommend grinding
all kinds of grain, and for hogs, both
grinding and cooking, unless we give
them all the roots they can eat with
the ground grain, when in that case
| would not give accent for cooking.

a large way of cooking feed for cat

watching others, | hardly think it

gels. For feeding sheep, ! would
not want any kind of grain ground,
but feed large quantities of bran
and oil-meal, and of course they are
ground, but the corn | regard better
without grinding, for the reason that
the sheep seem TO enjoy cracking the
corn, and they chew so close that
nothing escapes them; but they, too.
TO give the very best return, must
have all the mangels or turnips they
can eat We should aim TO furnish
all stock food as nearly in the pro.
portion of Summer feeding as We
can, and a liberal supply of mangels
will more nearly accomplish this than
will any other course"

Domesticate the Partridge.

Readers of the DEMOCRAT will re-
member that we have constantly ad-
vocated "protection of the birds" as
one of the best means of ridding
farms of the numerous insect tribes
which commit such vast depredations
upon all farm crops. AS to the
partridge, one of the most valuable
of insectivorous birds, protection
can best be accomplished by domes-
tication. A practical paper upon this
subject was read by Mr.. S. 2. Eby,
of Lancaster, before the local farm
er's club, portion of which we quote
from the Farmers Friend:
A little kindness shown, a little
protection given to convince the bird
that man is no longer its enemy, per-
secutor and destroyer, but a friend
instead, would bring about the de-
sired result.
The whistling flock would before
long draw nearer to man and his hab-
itation to escape other enemies, of
which it has many, and in Winter
season learn to feed with the poultry.
This much gained, the following sea-
son the rest in all probability would
not be very far removed. Some of
the eggs could be taken out and Civ
en- to bantam or other fowls, while
the partridge hen would still have
enough to hatch and take care of.
In the following Autumn the home
raised and field-raised young could
be let run together and taught to
Toost in some open shed, provided
for that purpose in the orchard, or
other suitable. corner of the farm.
In this way, with patience and pru-
dence, much might be accomplished.
In The following Spring the surplus
males might be taken out for table or
other use, and the flock left to pair
about the farm, when the process of
the previous year must be repeated.
The difficulties to be encountered,
in this and in all other new enter
prises, or experiments, would be in
the beginning. You can put up
notices against gunners and order off

Steam against Horsepower.

Hon. Geo. Geldc. In New York Triluns
The first threshing machine own
ed (more than forty years ago), was
driven by stationary four horse

quite we'll when We averaged, for a
whole crop of wheat, threshing,
claening, and delivering in market
one and half miles away, $50 bush.
els n day, employing six men. We
threshed in the forenoon in the af.
ternoon drew TO market the grain
threshed the day before, and clean
ed and put in bags the forenoon's
work, to be taken TO market the next
day. Thus six men averaged twenty
five bushels each. We did not stack
or NOW the straw, as at that time this
was not considered worth the trouble.
The machinery of to-day may fairly
be estimated as giving nearly twice
as many bushels for each man en-
ployed. | have given my own ex-
perience with threshing machines
because | have never seen any better
machine to do little with few hands
than my own. The steam engine Is
far better and cheaper than horse
power--if we employ the itinerant
thresher. Few farmers can afford to
own a steam engine equal to success
ful threshing, because of first cost
and deterioration when not in use I;
so we must hire. But so superior is
the engine TO horse power, that our
ten horse power, and machine for
threshing and separating, which was
of the first-class ten years ago, now
takes up barn-room, standing idle year
after year. A steam-driven machine
is hired to do our work we furnish
the fuel to make the steam, and pay
q fixed price per bushel for the use of
engine, machine, and the services of
three men, who constantly attend the
machine. Our farm horses are thus
saved the worst work of the year.

PROF. G. y. RILEY contributed to

Revie'C, q paper prepared for the

insecticide known as London Purple.
Mr.. Riley claims that in all respects
this new poison is fully equal to
Paris Green. 1t can be used in pre-
cisely the same manner, and in about
the sane proportions, and is much
cheaper, being mere refuse, which,
from its poisonous nature, was drug
to the manufacturers, and had to be
got rid of by being dumped long dis
tancss out ut sea. Mr.. Riley states
that this can be sold in New York at
five cents per pound. We shall keep
O watch on its movements, and inform
our readers in due season as to where
and how it can be procured.

WHEN a man is fortunate he
boasts of his good management and
shrewdness when he is what is term
ed unfortunate he complains of his ILL
luck. 1t is said that Providence al
ways smiles on the side of the best
and most bayonets and the heaviest
guns. Cannot the same principle be
also applied to farmingY Success is
the result of good management, of
the possession of the best breeds of
cattle, best tools and the richest soils.
Success springs from economy in
saving and making manures and in
the Judgment used in their applica-
tion. 1t consists in the proper selec-
tion of seeds, the time OF moving
the grass, the way and manner of till
ing the ground, vigilance in destroy
ing weeds, the care OF cattle and the
manner of feeding, in keeping the
fences In order and the buildings In
good repair. These are few of tho
elements of good luck.
