FRANKLIN, Ind, April 30.-Sometime ago
q man by the name Of McPheters, said TO

engaged in cleaning a number OF vaults IN

in short time they went to housekeeping,

said, was a cousin, appearing upon the scene
and acting as cook. About week ago Mrs.
McPheters came to this place to make her
husband visit. Returning to Greencastle
with her he induced his wife 10
let their little daughter, a bright little child
of seven years, return to this place with
him. saying that he would provide her with
clothing and that she would be company
for him. After the father and
daughter had returned TO this place, the
suspicious OF Mrs. McPheters were aroused.
and she determined to pay her husband Il
visit when he was not expecting such en-
event. 1t seems that she laid her plans with
womanly tact and at o'clock this morning

McPheters did not attem pt any defense of his

sailing the Pork.

LhAtHu''yGs
OF the effect OF food rich in protein in
tho production Of pork, Prof. Mcaiurtrie,
OF the Illinois Industrial Univelaity, saye:
1.-THE increase OF protein pork will improve
the quality and render it more nutritious.
The lean Of meat by reason Of tho acid re-.
action it acquires and the presence Of q
small portion Of pepsin it contains becomes
more tender and digestible by breaking
down The myosin; but the methods Of pre-.
servation may have a great influence upon
its quality. The digestible albuminoids oil
flesh are very soluble in solutions OF salt,
and the use OF this agent as preservative
must tend to diminith the digeftibility and
the nutritve value 10 corresponding ex.
tent. The hardening OF the fibres by salt
also diminishes the digestibility, and hence
the flesh should as far as possible be con-
sumed in the fresh, unsaIted condition.
On the other hand, putrefaction is to be
carefully avoided. While 1t 10 not always
the case, il not infrequently happens that
virulent poisonsoi an organic.chatacter are
developed in the putrefaction Of pork, and
many OF the fatal results OF its consump.
ton may be referred to this cause, rather
than to the trichinp TO which injurious re.
suits OF pork consumption are often az.
cribed."

Breeders OF Shropshires claim Tor their
iayorites that they are the most profitable
OF all sheep in this country, as they COM
bine the good qualities OF the Soutbdown
as meat producing animal and OF the Me
rino as wool-bearing sheep. The editor
OF the Tierds Wool Grttrcr says that the
Southdown, II purely bred, is mutton
sheep and nothing else; it is the lightest
she4ring OF all English favoriIo breeds, and,
in the words Of Prof.. Jennings, "is Cultiyat-
ed particularly for its mutton, which for
quality takes precedence Of all others"
For the sake OF mutton qualities the wool
has been sacrificed, and 1t is the least valu.
able q English wool-producers. But in
other qualities-daciliIy, early maturity,
milking, and as a good mother-it has no
equal. Combining wool and mutton the
Shropshire may be more profitable, and
indeed combining the two the Shropshire
is said to be more profitable than the
Merino; but as mutton sheep pure and
simple, and as tho most beautifully formed
sheep, the Southdown stands in the front.
