AGRICULTURE.

THE BREEDS. Farmers VINO have not
familiarized themselves with the breeds
of sheep should bear in mind that they
are behind the buyers, who can tell at
a few moments examination exactly
what kind of sheep from which the
wool was sheared and its fitness for the
purpose tor which it is desired. The
bdyers know the breeds, the kind of
wool peculiar to each breed, and all
about them, for it is "business." A
farmer would sneer at carpenter who
professed to be carpenter and yet who
could not do piece OF work in that
line; and yet we venture to say there are
hundreds of farmers who profess to be
farmers, and who would be insulted il
their knowledge of their business was
questioned, but who, at the same time,
cannot tell as much about the products
OF the farm as many of those who know
nothing of farm life. There are hun
dreds of farmers who are not able to
distinguish breeds q sheep, and who do
not know the particular Purposes for
which breed is most suitable, and still
they pride themselves on their calling
as business which they intend to make
profitable. III such farmers could but
be brought to realization of the fact
that they are really deficient in knowl
edge, it would be to their interest to dc
so. Every year we witness the ship,
ment of the products of the farm tC
market where the buyer fixes the grad,
although ne has had no experience OIL
the farm. Farmers, as class, are no
business-ike. for they rely too mucl
upon the judgment of others. It is no
Intended TO imply that they should no
seek the advice of others, but when tn,
farmer surrenders everything to hare
work, we insist that he should begin Il
educate himself in every possible way il
order to improve his chances.

How TO FERTILIzE FRUIT TREEs.-
Here and there on all farms and in most
fruit gardens will be seen an occasional
tree or grapevine, which seems to lack
vigor-does not grow well, and yet
seems to have no particular disease.
The probabilities are that the tree Is
dying of starvation and needs a liberal
supply of food. When you give It this
ration, do not pile a load of manure
around the trunk of the tree or the
body of grapevine. This Is just the
place where 1T will do the least good,
Nearest the trunk of the tree, the roots
are all large. The fibrous. roots-the
feeders, are further off near the ends of
the roots. These only can take up the
nutriment. 1t is always safe to assume
that the roots extend as far from the
trunk in every direction as do the limbs
of the tree, and to properly fertilize,
spread the manure all over the area.
Then fork it in and. you have done a
good work and done it we'll. If some
disease has begun its work on the tree,
you will put the tree in healthy, Wig
orous condition, the better enabling it
to successfully contend against its ene-
mics. We have seen numerous old
pear and apple trees, bearing poor and
gnarled fruit, which the owners consid-
of no value, but which such treatment
as we have outlined above would restore
to their original usefulness.

total loss of life eighty lone, is thought tc
be as nearly correct as possible by all
parties.
The afternoon papers make the follow
ing exaggerated statement: Taken to the
morgue, sixteen; received from the ruins,
twenty-one; since died, eight; dead not
taken to the morgue, FIVE Total, fifty.
This does not include fragments of
bodies found. About forty peo
pie are reported missing yet
and unaccOunted for, which swells the list
to ninety. 1t is almost a sure thing that
over 100 people lost their lives by this ca
lamity.
No official investigation will be made
into the origin and causes leading to the
disaster till the termination of work at the
ruins. The bodies viii all remain in the
temporary morgue till that time, unless
positive Identification is made. In sa
cases the identified bodies will be given
friends.
STATEMENT OF A. WELLER.
A. Weller, manager of the Western
Union telegraph Office here, makes the fol-
lowing statement. Careful inquiry of
those who witnessed the burning of the
Newhall house from the commencement
develops the fact that telegraph wires of
fered no obstruction to saving life, but on
the contrary three or four lives were saved
by jumping upon the wires, thereby break
ing the force of the fall. 1t was re-
ported Allen johnson and wife
could have been saved if
the wires had not obstructed raising lad
ders, whereas the highest ladder the de-
partment had was raised inside the wires
but was not long enough to reach the win
dow and the inmates had to jump to the
sidewalk and were killed. There were two
fire escape ladders fastened to the house,
one on Michigan street and one on Broad
way, leading from the top of the house to
the ground, passing by the hall
windows of every story and oHly
three or four lives were saved by them.
Every avenue of escape evidently
was forgotten in the panic and some par
ties jumped through the skylight of the
adjoining building and were seriously
injured, while fire escape was within
three feet of them. The reports telegraphed
everywhere that the telegraph wires are
responsible for the loss of life, originated
in the brain Of a few excited individuals
who knew nothing of the facts and cared
less.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 15.-Clay Sexton,
chief of the fire department, made himself
famous this evening and has been receiv-
ing the congratulations and thanks of his
friends and everybody else with whom he
has come into contact ever since. While
driving up Olive street between and
o'clock with friend he observed a well
dressed, stylish looking young man
of the ''masher' order accost two
ladies whose actions indicated they had
been insu ted by him. The ladies hurried
ly crossed the street, entered store and
the man passed on. A short distance be-
yond another lady was met and spoken to
and enough of the scoundrel's remark was
heard by Sexton to arouse quick and in
tense indignation. Hastily passing the
reins of his horse to his
friend, he sprung from the buggy
seized the miserable wretch and belabored
him with his heavy driving whip for fully
ten minutes, making the contemplate
creature fairly howl with pain, and gath
cred crowd of 200 or 300 who cheered
the stalwart chief to the echo.
