HOME MADE FERTILIZER.

live on st. Mary's River, writes
Mr.. w. p. Horne, of Darby vile,
Fla, 10 the Florida Agriculturist,
and 10 the summer, after my crop is
made, and not having much to do OF
the farm, take my boys and rake
up two or three hundred loads of top
soil in the river swamp, and haul it
in to my cow>peus aud let the cattle
trample it for six or eight weeks
during August and September. In
October | rake it up in large piles
say five or six ox-csrt loads in
pile let it remain in piles until Jan
uary or February. About month
before | want to use it, | haul in q
lot of rails and make my pens |
then get cotton seed, oyster shell
lime and salt put 10 the pens a
thin layer of the traupled soil or
muck, a thin layer of cotton seed,
then sprinkle on some salt, then
lime. continue these layers until
get ga twenty five loads of muck
in a pen. To pen of this size |
put 1000 pounds of cotton seed,
two bushels of salt and one barrel OF
lime and let it remain month IN
that time the cotton seed is all Kill
ed and ready to use. Haul 1t out
on the land at the rate of fifteen or
twenty loads to the acre and put it
in drills on any kind of crop, and |
find it better than the best stable
manure, as it does not fire any crop
in dry weather, as the stable manure
is most apt to do. | have used the
river muck without penniug the cat
tie on it, by composing with cotton
seed, sal; and lime, and find it
splendid manure. In using this |
also use Slockbridge fertilizer with it
and put about two hundred pounds
of the fertilizer to the acre with the
compost. find one acre we'll ma
nured is worth and will make more
than two acres half fertilizod. This
is the reason | am so successful in
farming, feed my land we'll. The
idea is to make the land rich and
keep it so. A great many people
visit my farm and ask me, How is
it that you make so many crops on
your land every year while others
make only one crop ?" This is the
very reason, keep the land rich by
manuriog 1t is just as easy to make
three or four hundred dollars to the
acre as it is one hundred. We must
use little brains as we'll as muscle,
and keep looking ahead and try to
do little more than daddy did in
his lifetime Now, Mr.. Editor, il
these few lines will only help one
poor farmer shall be richly paid
for the trouble of writing them

Good farmers RENE mber and poor
farmers forget, or do not know, that
"exclusive" devotion of the soil to
any one crop generally results in
loss. 10 the first place it exhausts
the land uneveuly, removing some
elements of fertility more rapidly
than others, until 10 few years the
crop can not be grown. A second
objection is that such cropping
breeds insect enemies, that compel a
change, as has been the case where
too much wheat growing has bred
the weeviI and Hessian fly.

IT il estimated that 100000 head
of cattle will be driven out of Texas
this season. Last year the number
was $4,000. This falling off is not
due to decline in the cattle bust
ness, On the contrary, Texas is il
creasiug its production of beeves all
the time. But he driving of herds
is getting more and more difficult.
10 a few years more it will almost
cease entirely, thanks to civilization.
So long as the country remains un>
fenced and uncultivated the herds
can saunter along northward feeding
and Transporting themselves; but as
the settlement. enlarge the old runa>
ways are hedged up, and it becomes
necessary to move the stock by rail,
dead or alive. As the country de-
vel0pes the cattle interest is con-
frOnted By the eFnstive, ship on
boot Or by refrigeration.

1t is recommended that bottle of
carbolic acid should be kept in
every farm house, not merely as a
disinfectant, bat as a wash for
wounds and sores. For any purpo'e
should be diluted with water. Its
power to destroy fungus growths
makes carbolio acid invaluable in
pruning orchards of pear, plum or
peach where blight or other disease
is suspected. The pruning shears
should be frequently dipped in car
bolic acid water.

Woman In Dellgium.
CHILLIooTHE, o., July 16.-Six weeks
ago well-dressed old gentlemen brought to
Adelphia, an obscure village off the rail-
road, lady elegantly dressed, and placed
her in charge of a physician, with story
that she was of an Eastern family of the
highest respectability, but unfortunate; that
she must be hid away and the child must be
left behind.
In few days her alleged uncle and brother
came and completed all necessary arrange
ments. In due time a girl was born and
given to country woman to keep. She saw
the mother when insane from puerperal
fever, and was told story of terrible ill
treatment. The woman repeated the story
outside. Sympathy brought mob from
the neighborhood to rescue the unfortunate
lady. The doctor had hard work to prevent
riot. A committee faw the lady, now re-
covered, who denied her wild story.
The next morning the lady, child and
nurse left for Erie, Pa, for complete re-
covery.
The day after her brother % arrived, and
was greatly disappointed to learn that she
had gone. He followed the party. The
lady Is understood to be from Trenton, N. j
All the expenses were met munifcently.
Her letters were sent at first to Erie, Pa.
then to Steubenville, Ohio; then to Man
chester, Dennison, Lancaster, and then to
Adelphia, to avoid tracing her.

FAMILY POISONED.
MADE SICK BY EATING APPAR-
EMILY GNoO HAM.
A VERY MYSTERIOUS AFFECTION.
The Fearful Experience of VIM. D0Ilard
and His Children Something That
Looked Very Mucn Like TrIchinse.

peculiar case of poisoning has been de-
manding the attention of DR.. Ebberts, of
Second and jackson streets, for the past few
days. He was called in to attend to the
family of William Dollard, living on Reed
street near Harrison, six of whom were
taken violently sick on Saturday morning,
after eating of some boiled ham, which had
been purchased two days before. Whether
1t is genuine case of trichD@ poisoning the
doctor cannot ssy, as he was unable
to get any of the ham for analyzation, but
from the manner in which the members of
the family were taken there is a reasonable
doubt that that peculiar poison was the
cause of all the trouble.
The ham was purchased by Mrs. Dollard
from a butcher on Wednesday and was
cooked IN Thursday and heartily eaten of
by all of the family. 1t appeared to be in
the best condition and no illness of any kind
resulted from the meal which was made off
it. On Friday the ham was not touched,
the family being members of the Catholic
church, and on Saturday morning Mrs. Dol
ard sliced the remaining portion down for
the breakfast of her husband and five chill
dren.
The wife being in hurry to go to market
did not eat anything and left ner family at
breakfast. They all ate heartily of the ham,
which was pronounced by Mr.. Dollard as
Delng especially sweet.
About IL O'Clock one of the younger chill
dren complained of feeling sick and imme-
diately began vomiting. In few minutes
more two more were down sick. When the
wife returned home she found her husband
and five children almost in spasms and
vomiting continuously. DR.. Ebberts
was called in aud administered
emetics of different kinds and soon
Succeeded IN relieving Jne smal1ci
children, who 1t seems had not eaten much
Of the ham, but the father, and a son about
18 years old, who was brought home from
his work sick, suffered all day and required
almost the undivided attention of the ply
sician to keep them alive.
Mrs. Dollard and several neighbors were
kept busy until midnight attending to the
wants of the six sufferers, who suffered from
a terrible thirst and drank water until their
stomachs were fearfully swollen. About mid
night the effects of the poison were counter
acted and the sufferers fell into doze.
Yesterday Mr.. Dollard MADE Lis first ap-
pearance on the street since being taken sick
and looks decidedly the worse from the ter
rible effects of the poison. The children are
also much better and no further evil effects
are apprehended. The case is a curious one,
as the cause of the sudden sickness, in view
of the apparently sound condition of Che
meat, is profound mystery.

Two Successful Launches,

Two very successful launches took place
from the shipyard of jackson & Sharp Com
pany, this morning, in the presence of a
large number of spectators from Philadel-
phia and this city. The first vessel to be
launched was the barge Ranger, built for
William Webber & Sons, and intended for
the general truck business between Salem
and Philadelphia. She was cut loose at
8.45 o'clock and glided gracefully into
the water without hitch of any kind.
Her Dimensions are, length IS feet, beam %
and five feet depth of hold. The next yes
sci was large schooner l, 100 tons burden,
built for Captain Benjamin F. Allen,a and in-
tended for the general coasting trade. She
was launched at o'clock and, equally as
successfully as the barge which preceded her.
Her dimensions are: Length of keel, $50
feet; width of beam, 35 feet; depth of hold,
10 feet, and five feet between decks.
She will be entirely fitted
up and rugged by the jackson & Sharp Com
pany. Immediately after the launch Cap
tain Allen treated the members of the firm
and invited guests to ice cream and cakes.

started on the base ball grounds and will
probably be we'll patronized.
1t was "nuts" for Fox to help defeat the
Baltimores, particularly with Nagle, his sue.
cessor in Baltimore playing In the game.
In view of yesterdays creditable victory,
this afternoons championship game with
the Brooklyn will be viewed with interest.
Manager rcHueh was out of town yes :
terday, and as the boys won a game during
his absence, the jokers declare that he is the
"Jonah." s-s-5
Fox covers third base In good style and
is excellent in working up the players.
These, in addition to his qualities as a
pitcher, make him q valuable acquisition to
the nine.
The score of the Merritt Quickstep game
as published In the GAZETTE was the ofticia !
score, the one in the EOery EUening was not
the official score.
0eary is just the man to catch for Pyle,
and If he can handle Fox's delivery as well
he will be jewel. His throwing to second,
yesterday, was beautiful.
F After all, Pyle is the Quickstep's boss
pitcher. His delivery is effective an his
judgment never at fault. He is lightning In
tripping up the runners who fool on the
bases
