Incredible Horrors.

An American physician who has
visited the Jewish hospital at Odessa,
gives the following account of what he
saw there: In the Jews hospital at
Odessa l25 mutilated persons have
been received within a few days, and a
still greater number are still in the
ruins Of their homes in Hozolo, Balta
and smaller places in the neighbor-
hood. Most Of the wounds are of a
very dangerous character, the ag-
gressors having been cruel enough to
pour spirits and petroleum into them
If the Jews resisted this treatment
the Russians cut arms and legs off the
badly used bodies, and carried them
to the woods to throw them to the
wolves. Very few Of the victims in
the hospital are likely to recover, and
the accounts they give of their suffer-
ings and the treatment they expert
enced at the hands of their aggressors
would appear exaggerated did their
bodies not prove the truth of what
they say. There is one young woman
of little more than eighteen years
whose breast was cut off with a sword,
while her one year baby, which is
lying on the bed near her, has had its
eyes put out with red hot iron. She
told the physician that her husband
had a house and shop in Hozolo, and
that she had always been on the best
terms with the Russians of that town.
On Easter Eve, as she was making
preparations for the Passover feast, a.
wild horde broke open her door, took
her baby, and threatened not to re-
turn it until she had given up
all the money and valuables in the
house. The child was screaming
wildly, so she fetched all she had.
When the child was returned to her
its eyes had already been put out. In
her despair she threw herself upon
those who had done the horrible deed,
but they flung herto the ground, treated
her in the most horrible fashion mag

ed and drew a revolver, he was thrown
to the ground also, bound with cords,
and forced to look on while the mon
sters cut his wife's breast clean away.
She was lett lying there with her baby,
but the man was carried of, and she
has never heard of him since. In the
bed next the one containing this miser-
able creature, who has not ever the
comfort Of tears, sits an old woman
with her head bandaeed, the Uranium
cutinto with a sword. Upon a physician
questioning her why she was not in a
recumbent position, she answered that
her back had been so badly scourged
it was one large open wound. When
she heard the aggressors burst open
the door she hid her grandchildren
away in the cellar, but they were
found and cut to pieces under her
very eyes. She was undressed and
scourged. In the next ward lies a
very young girl with an uncommonly
beautiful face. She does not know
what has been done to her, having
been unconscious during the worst part
Of the attack, but she suffers such ago.

Pretty soon, however, Mr.. Anderson
called to some one, and Nj. Roper

was one of the solid and substantial
citizens of East Tennessee, a man Of
unfinching honor and integrity, pos

He was a devoted, consistent and

in attendance tells his colleague that
the way in which this poor girl was
treated is a unique instance of cruelty,
and that she will not outlive the
day. Close by is a little girl
of six, writing in terrible pain, and
trying to tear the bsndages from her
head and face. The nurses hold her
hands, but suddenly her movements
stop; she stretches herself out upon
the bed; her sufferings have ceased.
A woman on the other side asks with
anxious voice: why is Narcisha SO

dead. Unmindful Of her own suffer
ings and her weakness, the poor
mother rises, rushes across the room,
and faints near the bed of the dead
child. This poor little girl, who had
tried to run away with a little sister
one year old, had had her ears cut off.
Her mother had received several
wounds on the head, which make the

Farmers Homes.

flowers, would be marvellous indeed.
Often-very often-a farm house is

for its unattractiveness, owing to all

not flower, shrub, or tree, to be
seen, and, perhaps, not even a fence

place is SO retired that the ornamen-

spect which the children have for it;

Crop Products in South America.

The latest Buenos Ayres journals

with respect TO the abundance of

out beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations, being some $4,000 bales
in excess of that of last year. The
chief export trade at present is in
maize, the total export OF which this
winter, it is estimated, will reach
100000 tons. This cereal is said to
be of superior quality, and as the
soil and. climate are admirably adapt
ed to its cultivation, immense crops
in the future are looked for. The

are also coming into great compe-

few years more there is reason to be-
lleve that the present great import
trade in wines and sugar will be re-
daced to nil, owing to the enhanced
volume of home productions. ~ Y.

Early Fattening of Animals.

1t is quite as important to fatten
and market economically, the animal
products of the farm, as it is to raise
them. A pound of beef, pork, or
poultry, can be made much cheaper
in September and October, than
later in the season, when a larger
part of the rations must 60 to keep
up animal heat. There is no sleight
of hand in laying fat upon an AMI

favor of the best use of all the fat

years, American apples have met
with ready sale at paying prices
in England, but within the last two
or three years. the trade has been
less profitable. 1t is the cd story
over again, that good fruit in good
condition, brings good prices. Two
years ago, taking advantage of the
unusual scarcity abroad, parties sent
over large quantities of apples, with
out regard to their quality or condi-
ton. AS consequence, this fruit in
Convert-garden market, as it would
have been in Washington market,
was left on the dealers hands.
Hundreds of barrels did not bring
the cost of the freight, and American
apples fell into disfavor. The same
course, if followed this year, will
meet with a similar result. Only
the best fruit, packed in the best
manner, will pay in England as at
home. The English received their
first impressions of American apples
from the Newtowu Pippin, which
several years ago was the only kind
sent abroad, and was in demand
there, however large their own crop
OF fruit might be. But this variety
is now far from abundant, and 9TH
ers have been forwarded of late years.
The baldwin, "Greenlng," "Spitz-
enberg," ]" an orthern Spy,'' "King of
Thompkins Co.," ETC., have sold well,
when good of their kind. The ras-
cally practice of "topping," has in
jured the reputation of our fruit, so
at present, it is not bought by the
appearance of the top layer, but the
contents of the barrel are poured out
for the inspection of the purchaser.
Properly managed, the export of ap-
Piles might be very profitable, and
we hope that some method may be
devised, by which a share of the
profits may reach the grower of the
fruit.-4mericam Agricultuvist for

Putting away Tools.

The wearing out Of farm imple-
ments Is, as rule, due more to neg
lect than to use. Iftools can be well
taken care Of, it viii pay to buy
those made of the best steel, and
finished in the best manner; but in
common hands, and with common
care, such are of little advantage.
Iron and steel parts should be cleaned
with dry sand and cob, or scraped
with piece of soft iron, washed and
oiled Unnecessary, and in a day or
two cleaned off with the corn cob
and dry sand. Finally paint the
iron part with rosin and beeswax, in
the proportion of4 of rosin, to l of
wax, melted together and applied
hot. This is good for the iron or
steel parts of every sort of tool.
Wood work should be painted with
good, boiled, Gnseed oil, white lead
and turpentine, colored of any de-
sired tint; red is probably the best
color. Keep the cattle away until
the paint is dry and hard, OR they
will lick, with death as the result
If it is not desired to use paint on
hand tools, the boiled oil with tur-
pentine and ''llquid drier," does just
as well. Many prefer to saturate
the woodwork of farm Implements
with crude Petroleum. This can
not be used with color, but is applied
by itself, so long as any is absorbed
by the pores of the wood.-Er.

whitewash the out-Buildings.

There is no more healshful method
of keeping the stables, sheds, and
pens clean than to give them a good
coat of lime-wash. The wash is east
.lv and quickly made as follows:
Slake bushel of fresh lime in a
pork, or other barrel, with water
enough to make a thick. paste, after
which fill up the barrel with hot
water, and let it stand for a few
hours. This wash may be applied
in various ways. 1t may be spread
upon the walls with a large white
wash brush, and no pains need be
taken to do neat job. Whatever
wash falls upon the floor in the ope-
ration, is not lost, but helps to sweet
en- the stable or stall. The quickest
and most satisfactory method, is to
use force pump, by which the lime
wash can be thrown into every cor
ner.-Ec.

We have found green corn stalks es-

We want to make the best use Of it.
The best poultrymen, we know, be-

when they mean to kill in November.
The Thanksgiving market is pretty

and hot water, make an excellent
feed for turkeys and other poultry.
This favors growth, as we'll as fat

other grain, unground, may be re-

Turkeys should have their liberty all
through the extra feeding. Some
poultry-men shut up their geese and
ducks, but we doubt the economy OF
this method. With a good run they
will have great variety Of food,
and thrive better with an access to a
pasture with pond or brook, while
they are receiving full feed for mar
