A writer in the Toledo Blade says
his method of catching hawks, when
they get troublesome, is to set a steel
trap on the top of post, near wire
cage in which are chickens.
A charming way to flavor custards

Ground oats form one of the best
feeds to promote a flow of milk either
in cows, ewes or in breeding sows. The
oats will grind better if one bushel of

"A prominent Iowa pig breeder
keeps his hogs, except when fattening.
on artichokes. He says on good land
this crop will produce more hog feed
per acre than any other crop. Iowa is
one of the largest corn and hog pro-
ducing States in the Union, and it
sounds rather strangely to hear. of any
thing cheaper than corn in that State

We saw some eggs the other day
that were laid by pullets Matched in an
incubator last February. They had
begun laying in five months from leay-
ing the shell. The operator of the in

erations of chickens in twelve months.

If you want steps in front of your
porches or elsewhere, make box the
size you want the step, and fill it with
good cement, filing in the centre with
small stones or broken tiles, or anything
hard. If you wish to make two steps,
after making your first step make an
other box and place on your first step,
and fill the same as the first After
dry, take off the box.--IHe Household.
"A New York Tribune correspond
ent says that young horses should never
have shoes imposed upon them until it
is well proved that they cannot do with
out them. He predicts that the day is
not far distant when some humane
benefaetor of his kind and horse kind
will produce breed of horses having
such firm, tough feet, in addition to all
other good qualities, that shoeing will
be unnecessary.
Brown bread, which may also be
served as pudding, is made by taking
one cup of molasses, one teaspoonful Of
soda dissolved in half a cup of boiling
water; stir this in the molasses until it
is thoroughly mixed with it; then add
three parts of Graham flour to one of
corn meal in sufficient quantity to make
batter; to this add a tablespoonful of
melted lard. Steam this four hours.
If you wish to eat it while hot in place
of bread, dry it in the oven for fifteen
minutes; If for pudding, serve it fresh
from the steamer with sour sauce

Coming West.

II have been astonished," said Il
gentleman the other day who was
returning east after a visit to Mon
tana, "at the number of aristocratic
young men that are to be found out
in this western country. Some of
the best families, not only of this
country, but of England, send their
young men out here to engage in
cattle raising. The traveller on the
railroads between New York and
St. Paul and points further west, is
continually meeting with men who
have left their dudish brothers in
the east and have come out here to
develop themselves into men,"
"What effect will this have upon
the aristocracy of the country?"
"It will have the effect of improv-
ing the race. In England to-day,
many aristocratic families are proud
of the physical powers of their men.
There has been tendency in this
country for the aristocratic young
men to become effeminate and lazy.
The fact that some of them are real
izing now that there is something
more in this world than walking
the streets with glass stuck in ones
eye is encouraging"

The Prussian Minister of Agri
culture appointed Messrs. Konie
and Krauch to study the change.
which water undergoes and the ac.
ton it produces when applied in
irrigation. The experiments took
place at Munster, capital of West
phalia, where several systems OF
waterings and drainages are EN-
ployed. About 5 per cent. of the
water employed, on an average,
escapes by the subsoil ; in soil
destitute of assures, ETC., the loss is
less than is generally imagined.
Heavy and persistent rains do not
penetrate the soil beyond twelve
inches, and humidity in proportion
as the surface presented cracks, or
was honeycombed by moles, etc.
Drains flow only when rain has
ceased, and dis charge waters that
have arrived from distant points,
due to accumulation or impermea-
BILE strata,l etc. The more the tenn
perature of water employed for
irrigation is elevated, the more
beneficial it is for vegetation. The
water in flowing over the meadow
cools quickly if the air be cold,
while if the contrary, it augments
rapidly. Even in cold seasons the
water possesses a sensibly higher
temperature than the soil, thus pre-
serving the latter warmer for a
longer time.
The fertilizing action of irrigating
water depends less on the absorp--
tive properties of the soil-upon
the matters held in solution-than
on the precipitation of the matters
in suspension and the direct abb
sorption of these nutritive elements
by the roots of the plants. The
only nutritive element retained by
the earthly PARTICLES with persistence
is potash, and the water is deprived
of the mineral matters it contains
in proportion as the temperature of
the soil, of the water and of the air
1t is from the water di-
rectly, then, that plants extract nu-
triment, save potash which the soil
seizes upon. Thus in the season
when vegetation sleeps the water
by drainage from irrigated
is poorer in potash, owing
to absorption by the soil, than the
water itself. The appli-
cation of potash salts to grass lands
under irrigation produces an elimi-
nation of the lime in the soil: the
equilibrium becomes re-established
when the potash ceases to be ap-
piled, Similar observations apply.
to phosphoric acid. The irrigating
water introduces oxygen into the
soil, similarly as does tilling the
land; it reduces the acidity of the
soil also ,as the water escaping by the
Trains is proverbally richer III acid

On Tuesday evening terrible
cyclone swept over Southern Min
nesota and struck the city of Ro-
chester, demolishing 800 buildings,
and damaging many more. The
work of the cyclone was done in a
few moments. The streets were
filled with debris, and people run
ming about looking for lost friends
and relatives, while the cries of ihe
injured filled the air. About twenty
five people are known to be killed,
and forty injured, A train on the
Rochester & Northern railway was
blown from the track, every car
wrecked, and one hundred persons
killed and wounded. The country
around Rochester is Il scene of de-
vastation. In field near Dodge
Center was a herd of cattle in the
track of the cyclone. OF these nine
were killed and the horns of eleven
others were found sticking in the
ground, indicating that the cattle
had been caught suddenly by the
wind and thrown to the ground
head foremost, their horns being
left in the ground. The wires being
all down, but meagre reports have
been obtained as yet,

New Orleans, La, June ga
special to the Times Democrat, from
Mansfield, La, says that Rev. l.. Lane
Borden, president of the Mansfield
Female College, was killed in that
town this morning by Rev. Ben Jcn-
kins. The cause ofthe killing was the
seduction by Borden of young lady
friend of Mr.. jenkins. They met in
front of the store .of b. F. Jenkins.
Rev. Mr.. jenkins emptied revolver
at Mr.. Borden, firing five or six shots.
One took effect in Dorden's leg.
Another entered his heart, shatter-
ing his watch in its passage, and an
other struck him in the forehead, Just
between the eyes. lie lived about two
hours, but never spoke after he was
shot. Mr.. Jenkins has the sympathy
of the entire community, in which his
iuilllN uiCol llic IiShCSb ICspcCtdulil-
ty. lie was arrested Immediately
after the shooting of Borden. His
brother c. Il. jenkins, who was with
him at the time, was also arrested, but
was released after the coroncr's jury
rendered its verdict, Rev. Ben jenkins
being held for trial. The Dung man
is about twenty one ycarsold, and was
ordained to the Methodist ministry at
the annual conference. Rev. j. Lane
Borden, the slain man, has heretofore
been favorably known as a man and a
minister ;has been president of Mans
field Female College for six ycars,and
under his administration the college
has greatly prospered. The annual
commencement was held on Wcdnes-
day. In his address to the graduates
on that occasion he said that there
were two ways to control pupils,
through fear ana love. His plan had
been to control by love. The tragedy
