uEAowoou on FIRE AGAIN.


Deadwood, Jan. 8.-The escape of Dead
wood from being totally destroyed by fire a
second time this morning was almost mira
culous. About midnight the timber on the
hillside on Shoemake gulch caught fire
from . miners torch, famed by a
high wind and spread through that gulch
into Black Tail, over the divide into City
Creek and Forest Hill inside Of the city
limits, where, BY the superhuman efforts Of
the iremen and citizens. it was got under
control with . loss of only a few cabins and
some cordwood. It blew almost a hurri.
cane and did considerable damage in differ.
ent parts of the city. All the stores were
cleared of goods and had the fire reached
the heart of the city itcould have DESTROYED
little else but empty buildings. The widest
excitement prevailed throughout the night.

General Fisk, q member of the board Of
Indian commissioners. has presented
charges against Commissioners Hayt. which
we're considered in secret session on Thurs.
day. The charges embrace accusations Of
general Encouragement of Indian matters,
aud the associated apress agent does bis
chief the honor to state TO the world tha,
they are unsustained by evidence. 1t Is
not probable that General Fisk would
make charges against the head of the bu.
Teau without having something TO base
them upon. The press agent is doubtless
preparing the public for a whitewashed re.
port.

THE REASON WHY

all manufacturers of thr eshing machinery
are so anxious to make a Separator of tho
vibrator class, is because it has been
proved beyond Il question that the princi-
pies upon which the vibrator is built are
the only correct ones. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but it is fact, that the word
vibrator is not to be found in the die
tionary, but was coined and copyrigh ted by
Nichols, Shepard & Co., Of Battle Greek.
Mich, tor their threshing machinery. Tho
success Of this firm is almost phenomenal,
and yet it but illustrates the fact that true
meri: will always succeed. By discovering
and applying the true principles of con-
struction, and using only the very best ma
terials i'll manufacturing, this firm has risen
to the first position in their line, and the.

used all over the world. Any one intend
ing to buy any threshing machinery does
himself great injustice it he does not first

GROWING TOMATOES.

A correspondent Of the Frust Recorder, at-
stocky plants by early attention and fire.
Quent transplantings, writes as follows re-
specting his mode Of treatment after the
plants are ready to be transferred to the
Kitchen garden:
AFTER transplanting them I set good,
strong stakes and tie the plants to them.
nip Off all lateral branches as soon as they
appear until they begin to blossom. Il will
of blossoms the main stem divides ia two.
let both of these stems grow and keep on
tying them to the stakes until they reach
the top, when l nip them Oft and at the
same time niypng off all latefals as before.
By letting both stems grow get more fruit
than would if let only one, as advocated
by some growers. tried the one stem sys-
tenn, but being dissatisfied with the quanti-
ty of fruit, thought | would try if could
not improve on it a little, and found the re-
suit AS stated above. have ripe tomatoes
quite as early and more of them.
l also get them much earlier by training
the plants this way than by any other. |
grow the Conqueror for early and the Tro-
ply for late crop, also the Golden Trophy
and here let me say there is no finer tomato
grown than the Golden Trophy; there is
none equal to it, III my opininion it is rich
in flavor, beautiful in color and great
bearer, would advise every one to try
it,

that this is merely difference In judg-
ment. But when we reflect that after the
trade each party is very exultant as to his
bargain, and that the value of the article in-
creases and decreases in a great ratio, 1t
looks like their judgment makes sudden
change.
Another gentleman in this catalogue is
the professional horse trader. This worthy
is generally On the market with valuable
(?) plug to dispose Of. BY "ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain,' he fixes"
the wretched animal so that he is calculated
to deceive the very elect. In trading him
he dwells On the docility, youth and
strength Of the "hoss' in such glowing Ian
guage, that he disposes of him to some
greenhorn at double his value. Almost any
Saturday crowds OF these scalawags can be
seen lounging around the corners at our
county seat plying their trade. At the
same time the weeds are taking possession
of their corn field and later patch.
The law ought to provide more stringent
penalties for the benefit of these honorable
men, Young man, If you would reach a
prosperous old age, steer clear of these
sharpers.
The truth is. this thing Of driving sharp
bargains deserves to be called by Its right
name. In great many instances 1t is not
far removed from downright swindling. OF
course ones right to buy and sell to the
best advantage is not questioned. But, in
our eagerness to get something for nothing,
we sometimes violate the simple rules OF
justice by misrepresenting things, and so
on. This unpleasant fact ls doubtless at the
bottom of the rotten condition of affairs OF
the last few years. In our greed for wealth
we have lost sight of the first principle OF
national happiness and prosperity
dencc in each other.-Cpr. Rural World.

THE MILLERs IN COUNCIL.

The Afillers' International Exhibition at
Cincinnati, for which preparations have
been making for many months, was opened
ON the 3lst ult. 1t presents undoubtedly
the completest display of milling machinery
in full operation, and all appliances connect
ed with the trade, together with the largest
collection OF different varieties of grain and
flour, that has ever been brought together
in this or any other country. The Millers'
National Association fixed the time of hold
ing their annual convention for the first
week of the Exhibition, as the latter is to
last four weeks, and besides a full attend
ance OF members of the tr;lsie from all parts
of the United States, an imposing delcga-
ton of the leading nillers of Great Britain.
France, Germany and Austria are in attend
ance.
For many reasons this Exhibition and the
assembling of representative millers from
all parts OF the world is of the utmost sig
niticance at the present time. Our exports
of wheat for the nine months to the lst OF
April last amounted to $l49. 9.Ol2. .749. and in
wheat flour the exports for the same period
were valued at $26,375.22S. The quantities
were smaller, although the proportions were
about the same for tile like period OF the
year preceding. The question Immediately
arises Is 1t not possible for our millers to
largely Increase the quantity OF flo, +, in
proportion to wheat exported? 10 do this

interested In his own stock. He not only
can enrich his neighbors, but at the same
time he can and ought to make the country
around him contribute to his own means.
''And so with any other industry connect
ed with farming, be it raising horses, sheep
or swine, the cultivation of cereals or fruit.
There is not one of Them that cannot COM
mand the undivided attention and all the
ability OF the ordinary farmer. My idea
then, is to have community OF mixed in
dustries, with each man doing his level best
in certain line. In the end we shall be
surer Of competence, and l may add, of a
surplus. Failure may attend our efforts.
but be certain the fault is with us. And
while | speak Of the concentration OF mind
upon single pursuit. do not mean that
everything else shall be ignored. But ex-
perience has demonstrated that there must
| be one main business, to which all Others
must be subservient; but each of US should
ut least be masters of a single industry. 10

sPECIALTIES IN FARMING.

Mr.. G. M. Humphrey, lawyer and anna
teur farmer of Nebraska, read a paper on
MIXED Husbandry," before the Farmers
Institute at Table Rock. We make a few
extracts, which deserve the attention of en-
terprising farmers.
Il honestly beleye," said the speaker.
that the farmer who will work his brains
until noon, and his hands the balance OF the
day, will outstrip him who rises at five and
tolls until nine at night. Our most success
.ful farmers are not those that work the
hardest at manual labor; but they work,
nevertheless, with all the engergics Of their
natures. None are exempt from labor, On
ly urge, let 1t be we'll directed. The royal
field of the human mind should be rs care
fully cultivated as your choicest crop, and
lie who neglects it must necessarily expect
failure. The day is fast approaching when
the highest intelligence will be demanded
as q necessary qualification of the agricul-
turist.
sit is here boys make mistake by rush.
ing into the already starving and overcroWd-
professions. And would here say that un-
less you have decided genius for a profess
sional lite young man, stick to the farm
Specia!tes seem TO be the rule of our civili-
zation. and he succeeds best who bends all
his energies and means to master one bnsl-
ness thoroughly. Ifa young man has GER
tain predilection for the raising of cattle, he
should lose no time in making the start.
Every opportunity given for gaining infor-
nation in that direction should be instantly
embraced. Both practically and theoretret-
ically should he know every breed, Their
adaptation to our climate and soil, the prin-
ciples of breeding. thorough knowledge
OF grass and feeding, and the daily markets.
Their diseases IN every form should be
the subject of profound study, and his
shelves should be filled with standard works
on the subject. He must keep abreast OF
the times and know all the new and valua-
BILE things in the cattle world; and more
than all, he must bring to bear close Oh
servation and ever watchtul'
His experience should be recorded not only
| for his own good but for that OF his neigh
| hors. Nor is this all. His affairs must be
| governed by those laws Of business which
the wisdom of ages has pronounced to be
Indispensable to the success of any work.
Without them, he is worse than ship with
out chart, compass or rudder, drifting he
