A burning We'll.

fort Worth Corrsspondsnco Of the Chicago Tribune.
SO much has been said and written
about the burning well on the Slidell
farm, four miles south of Burton, that
your correspondent visited the well last
Saturday and made personal inspec.
ton of it. The well is situated on
high ridge in post oak grove on the
edge of what is known as the Labadie
Prairie, and is 1865 feet deep 1t is an
ordinary-bored well, eleven inches in
diameter. The mouth is covered with
cast-iron top piece, having an opening
about eight inches in diameter, through
which rushes continuous current of
colorless vapOrs, or gas, having pres.
sure OF about three atmospheres, and a
temperature of about 6O0. By STOPPING
down and looking into the oven, the
gas can be seen rising like the
heat from stove. The gas is highly
inhammable, and, upon the application
of Il blaze, it ignites with flash similar
to powder: 1t burns with steady blaze,
which, in daylight, is of very rich,
deep, golden yellow hue, and is very

seen it at night, to possess great illum.
mating power The flame is readily
extingushed by throwing wet tn
over the mouth of the we'll. If tube
be placed over the well, with half inch
opening in the bottom, upon the appli-
cation of bottle, the pressure is strong
enough to produce whislling sound
that can be heard for distance of over
a mile. The gas is apparently odorless,
though some say they often detect
sulphurous smell There has been no
diminution in the volume ofg As since
its discovery, three weeks ago. The
owner of this well not being present, /
am unable to say what his intentions
are concerning it; but I undertand he

Eliminating purposes. The we'll is indeed
a wonderful curiosity, and will afford

Chicken Cholera.

When fowls do not have access to
sharp gravel or coarse sand, being fed
too much whole corn, will sometimes
produce cholera. New damp corn, or
grass which has become succulcnt after
protracted rains, if fed mostly to fowls,
will produce cholera. The gas from fer,
mented manure piles will cause it. If
fowls drink filthy, stagnant water for a
length of time, it will produce it. Wheat
screenings containing much smut will
get fowls out Of condition. if it will not
produce cholera. Sometimes when too
many potatoes are used with corn meal
and wheat bran dough, cholera will be
produced, In using potatoes, add Il
tablespoonful each Of salt and cayenne
pepper to two gallons of meal bran and
potatoes. q

A Lesson for Employers.

A judgment lately pronounced by q
court Of justice at Dresden may serve
as a warning to those benevolent per-
sons, in Germany at all events, who
may be tempted to give their servants
on discharge better character than
they had proved themselves entitled to.
A merchant at Dresden short time ago
engaged young man belonging to
family Of good position and highly re-
commended by his last employers as
cashier in retail place Of business. In
this position it was his duty to receive
all money paid in during the day and
convey it in the evening to the head
boOk-keeper of the establishment. Sew
eral circumstances led to suspicion that
the new cashier did not give up at the
end of the day all the money paid to
him during the hours OF business. Con-
sequently arrangements were made for
checking the sums collected and paid
over by the young man, and in few
days it was ascertained that he had ap-
prOpriated at least $500. The default
ing cashier was accordingly summarily
dismissed, and his employer applied to
the merchant who had originally given
him good character for repayment of
the sum stolen. This the merchant
refused, lat on the matter being taken
before court Of justice, and on its be-
ing shown that the Young man had been
discharged by his first employer because
he had stolen money from him, and that
the good character had been given him
from q feeling Of pity, the original EN-.
ployer was ordered to make good his
frote9es defalcatiop.

beautiful. George and she were engaged,
and George had case. He had galley
of solid nonpareil on his frame, which
he was about to lock up and prove.
George, blushing like a girl, shook her
hand and called her his darling. She
eyed the galley and smiled sweeter than
before.

the galley of nonpareil, care them the

She swept her taper fingers over the
matter, squabbling the entire galley.
" Bless you, my darling" said George,
chokingly, the sweat pouring down his
face.

SOUTHERN Farm AND HOME.
feriilizers.'

Many OF our Georgia farmers do not
ttach as much importance as they
should to the necessity of keeping up
their lands by enriching them. Many
farms in our state are worn out and
many are deficient in certain need full
elements. Farmers should carefully
study their fields. One field may need
lime, another richer manure, while the
orchard and vineyard are benefited BY
bones planted close to the roots of trees
and vines. Roots will grow around and
feed upon them for many years, or until
they are consumed. They can be put in
whole or broken with an axe.
Farmers should collect the vegetable
matter from every nook and corner of
the farm, and incorporate it with the
manure heap, or with swamp mud, lime
and gypsum form compost heap; col
lect leaves. Fork over this compost once
or twice in a year and dress the land
with it.
The following is a good fertilizer for the
garden; Hen manure, ashes, plaster and
salt mixed in equal quantities, except
the salt, of which one-fourth will be sufi-
cient. Mix and apply either in the hill
at the surface, or broadcast.
Ashes are beneficial in nearly all soils.
Their action is two-fold; they supply to
plants inorganic constituents which they
require, and they act chemically as soly-
cnts upon other salts in the soil, or they
neutralize acids, etc. They are more ben
cficial on sandy and gravelly lands than
on clay. For plants that contain large
percentage Of potash and phosphoric
acid, as carrots, turnips, potatoes and
cabbages, ashes are an essential manure.

Starvation In Leadville.
Denver Tribune.l

I" Lsadville is suffering great scare
from the probability of famine" said
gentleman from the mountain metrop-
oils to Tribune representative yester.
day. Further inquiries elected the fol-
lowing statement, from which it will be
seen that the word probably" is ap.
propriately used. Every one from Lead.
vile tells the same story in effect, and
among others, Mr.. Edward Eddy, of
the smelling firm of Eddy & James,
gave the following information: Four
day ago and estimate was made Of the
amount of supplies on hand in the city
with the following result: OF -four
there was supply of two days; grain
and hay, seven days; of canned goods,
six days; of coke, three days; of coal oil,
six days, and other less staple articles
about the same quantities. Said Eddy:
A snow blockade of two days, which is
almost certain to occur soon, will put
tho 80 600 people of Leadville on short
rations, and longer blockade will carry
them to point .of actual want and
compel them TO leave the place, "NOne
of the smelters," said he "have any
supply Of coke on hand which will al
low them to run through blockade,
and if we have to shut down we will
shut down until we have better railroad
facilities, and will not be at the. marrow
of the weather" He saidi turtber tbat
what every one =, ,eadville wants il to
.J Ja,e age Hallett settle the railroad
ullliculty between the Atchison, Topeka
q Santa Te and the Denver e. Rio
Grande, 50 that the receiver of some one
can finish road from Canon City to
Cleora. When this is done there will
no longer be any danger of blockade
or scarcity of necessities of life. And
until that is done Leadville is at the
mercy OF the weather. People at Lead
Vile do not blame the South Park
management. They say they are doing
all that is possible to be done, but the
capacity of the road is not sufficient to
meet the enormous demand.
Gov. Evans, President of the South
Park, informs the Tribune that the road
is now moving fifty cars of freight per
day, employing in the work twenty.one
engines. Tomorrow he will have three
more engines on the line, and in two
weeks the number will be increased two
more. He is using every possible en-.
dervor to meet the demands, but it is
beyond human power TO do more at
present than to supply the daily wants
of the people

Sheep need variety of food and free
dom of action. In winter they require
shelters only against heavy rains and
melting SHOWS.
Poultry droppings make valuable
fertilizer, and applied to cold, wet soils,
for corn is decidedly beneficial. When
salt is added it prevents the manure
from drying up and burning the plants.
Pear blight has been arrested, in some
instances, in affected trees by Swinging
them with weak solution of potash, and
it has proven preventive when applied
TO the healthy trees.
Hogs when nearly fat are liable to
nave disordcred stomachs through over
feeding, refusing their food. The best anti
dote for this is charcoal. Charred corn
cobs or charred corn have good effect.

+. A wonderful Parrot.

A wonderful parrot was formerly
owned by 8 physician of Montgomery,
Ala, which was the pride of the county.
The negroes used to say" Bress de
Lord! dat 'ar bird got white folks
sensep' A correspondent Of the Globe
Democrat, of st. Louis, relates the fol-
lowing Of this parrot
The doctor, like all physicians, was
frequently called out at night by some
ones "halloo" at the front gate. r.
Polly learned this, and one night
when the doctor. answered shrill
"halloo" by coming to the door and
asking what was wanted, Polly answered
from bunch of rose.bushes:
He hi ha! | fool the doctor that
time; hi! he! ha" .5.
Polly received sound thrashing for
this trick and was quito sullen for
week or SO, when one dark, rainy night,
the doctor woke up to hear some one at
the gate repeating his "halloo," fire.
quently. . ........
Going to the door he asked who was
there. From the top of tall LON.
hardy poplar, the parrot screamed out
in fiendish glee
"Ha! ha ha! You can't catch Polly
this time You can't! you can't!! you
can't! |"
All the doctors persuasive arts were
called into requisition TO get the parrot
down from her high perch, but she could
1. be deceived, coaxed or flattered into
doing as he commanded or entreated
her. .....u ...
She resolutely kept her perch all night
in the rain, and waited until he started
off next morning on his daily round,
before she ventured down.
The doctor had little boy, aged
about two years, for when the parrot
formed strong attachment. Warren
was the child's name, and by-and-by he
fell sick
The parrot moped around and APP
peared to be quite melancholy. At
times, when the child was left alone for
few moments, Polly would hopsup on
the edge of the cradle, and spreading
out her wings, she would vibrate them
like fans, and ask as she had heard the
nurse ask:
"Poor baby! Baby want water2
Baby sick9 Baby hungry! Poor baby
Polly's 5000 sorry"
Finally the child died, and the parrot
~sllak away t fertt ,i5 Two days preceding
the funeral, and was neither seen nor
heard. On returning from the ceme-
terry, the family met her, waddling along
in the middle Of the road, repeating to
herself in the tenderest and most
mOurnful manner:

Wearing Out Land.

Continuous cropping will exhaust any
soil. Whatever elements are removed
from the soil by cropping must be re-
placed in some way, if fertility is main
tanned. The ability of soil to produce
well depends upon the chemical constitu-
cnts that are present in it, provided its
mechanical condition is such us to render
these matters available to plants. These
matters or constituents are the food up
on which plants live, and IL knowledge of
them, combined with the chemi-
cal composition of the ashes of different
plants, suggests rational system of ny
riculturc. The importance of judicious
succession of crops in order to maintain
fertility, in the light of these facts, is at
once apparent. Some crops remove II
larger proportion of particular elements
than other, while some derive nutrimcnt
from near the surface, and some send
their roots to greater depth to gather
substance; hence the Importance of fol-
lowing the former with the latter, and of
supplying in the way of manures the
substances necessary to surface growing
plants. Science affords invaluable assist
ance to the farmer just here. With its
aid and the exercise of good judgment
wonted n itfulness may he restored to
impoverished soils

A Curious Plant.

An Appleton (Wis.) paper reports
the discovery in Wisconsin of curious
plant which produces kind of cotton
and fax from the same stalk. 1t has
already been woven into fabrics, and as
any article that will make as good cloth
as can be made from this plant will
make good paper, it has been called the
paper plant. 1t can be planted in the
spring and cut in the fall and winter.
1t bleaches itself white as it stands, and
will yield at least three or four tons to
the acre. From single root that was
transplanted last spring grew twenty
large stalks, with three hundred and
sixty.fve pods containing the cotton,
with at least sixty seeds in each. From
this root were obtained seven ounces of
pure cotton and over pound of fax.
1t is a very heavy plant, and grows
from six to seven feet high.

The Calf.

The time to make gain in feeding an
animal for beef is when he is young. A
calf that has been well fed until it is four
months old, and then made for three or
four months to depend solely on good
pasture, will be more likly to do well
thereafter than he would if fel ON rich
food without cessation. Animals not
only pay best for the food consumed in
early life, but they gain more pounds
within a given time.

Unacclimated People.


The acclimated young man who has
