Economical feeding, says the
Western AgrIculturIst, Is an i'm
portant factor in stock breeding.
In regard to grinding grain for
feeding, it has been shown in every
case Ia which test has been made
that meal is worth about one-third
more than whole grain. The same
is true, too, of hay, of which fifteen
pounds cut into chaff and fed with
meal are equal TO twenty pounds
fed in its natural condition. LBr
seed meal (ground oil cake) is an
excellent food for stock, when fed
with grain and rough feed, It is
specially adapted to rapid tattcn-
ing and healthy growth. Don't
neglect a regular supply of salt and
q constant supply Of good, clean
water.

A small niece of rosin dipped in

A small piece of rosin dipped in
the water which is placed in YES
sci on the stove, says one who
knows, will add a peculiar proper
ty to the atmosphere of the room,
which will give great relief to per-
son troubled with cough.
Cast-lron may be so hardened as
to resist cutting by an ordinary
file by the following method: When
the iron is brought to cherry-rcd
heat, sprinkle somk cyanide of
potassium upon 1t, raise the tenn
pcraturc then little above red heat,
and, lastly, dip in the tempering
tank. Cyanide of potassium may
be used for case-hardening iron
also with decided effect.
To raise a good crop of onions
two important facts must be OBJ
served. They must have n rich,
loamy soil, made as fine as possible
by thorough cultivation, and they
must be kept free from weeds.
Use well rotted manure, in which
case, if it contains weeds and grass
seed, there vitality will be impair
ed. For poor or stiff clayey soil
give liberal application of wood
ashes. Test your seed before plant
ing the entire crop, and SOW as
soon after the middle of March as
the weather will permit.
A farmer who has made small
fortune of late years out of hogs
says that he can make a pound of
pork in September, when hogs are
run on second-crop clover, for one
half the cost of that produced in
from corn alone. He is
becoming more fully convinced
every day that three-fourths OF the
failures in hog raising are due TO
following the old idea of hog and
corn, and that the only way we
can successfully compete with feed
ers cheap corn counties is by max
ing our pork principally of grass.
Farmer
The Cincinnati Price Current
publishes an elaborate report on
the winter wheat crop of 1884,
embracing special returns from all
sections of the west. In summar-
izing the information the average
condition and promise ofthe wheat
crop is shown to be 96 per cent. of
an average, indicating an outlook
for $50, 900, 900 bushels. The aver
age condition a year ago was SO.
The spring wheat promise is calcu-
lated at $4,000, 900, an aggregate
of 4S5, 100000 for the entire crop
outlook, compared with 420, 900, 900
harvested last yer.
A correspondent of the Husband
man says that sulphur is proven
tive of potato rot, and this is con-
frmed by the experience of a Yer
mont farmer who rolled his cut
potatoes in fine sulpher at planting
and busted the plants as they APP
poared above the ground. Neither
rot, worm nor insect touched them,
potatoes on neighboring
farms were badly damaged. His
potatoes were excellent and the
crop yielded well. There is no
doubt that sulphur will assist
materially in preventing fungus
growth in other plants as well as
and it would be well if
farmers gave 1t trial tor such pur-
poses the coming season.

One Hundred flashes.

We arc informed that one day last week
q respectable young lady entered the store
ut Fairfield, Clarke county, Va, 10 make
some purchases, and while there she was
so closely watched by q negro named An
drew Lewis Is to excite suspicious among
those present that the negro meant mis-
chief, and after the lady left the store his
movements were watched for few mo-
ments. The lady proceeded south along
the railroad track, AMI the negro took all
other course, but to conceal, as was after
wards developed, his designs. After the
lady had walked some distance from the
store, she was surprised to find the negro,
who had passed through some corn-felds
to conceal his movements, in front of her,
She Immediately rctraced her steps to the
store, and informed those present OF his
conduct. Search was made for Lewis, but
he could not be found. A few resolute
men determined not to let the matter pass
uanoticed, and when night came they in
stituted search for the rascal. After some
time he was found in the loft of a cabin,
despite the efforts Of colored woman to
keep him concealed by extinguishing the
lamp used by the men looking tor him.
He WAS taken from the cabin, and his cap
tors gave him the choice of hanging or
receiving l25 lashes. He accepted the lat
ter, and they were laid on with will um-
til 100 was reached, when the negro gave
evidence of exhaustion, whereupon his
captors liberated him with the under
standing that if found in the neighbour
hood after two days he would be caught
and receive another 100 lashes. It is said
that this was not the first time he had
acted insult;ngly towards ladies.-Clarke

pANoIpNN, August II, AO"i'
DeaY Regiyter.--The political canvass is
getting warm, and now that the State and
Congressional tickets arc in the field both
parties will be putting in their best licks
until the ides of October shall decide who
has won. The contest promises to be
close one, and it is likely that the most
meritorious candidate will be elected,
since the independent voter has become
factor in our politics, and this is one Of
the hopeful signs Of the perpetuity OF
American institutions, and breakwater
against party corruption.
The Republican State Convention did
better for tho Eastern Panhandle than
did the Democratic, inasmuch as Berkeley
gets one place on the Republican State
ticket. We believe that w. II. III. Flick
viii, if elected, be II judge Of whom the
State may well be proud.

The Good Tempiars Of this valley had a
pleasant pic mic last Saturday week near
White Hall, Frederick county, Va, but
as business called me in another direction
could not attend. However, | hope to
make up for it at Jones' Spring on the
both inst, where we expect to have
grand rally of the temperance forces, and
good time generally.
have spent three days recently in can
wasting in Back Greek Valley for tho sale
of fertilizers, and have found that the
present crop Of wheat is the best that the
valley has produced for a number Of years,
but the price is low, only about so cents
in the valley and So delivered at North
Mountain Station on the b. & o. Il. Z.
Between Glengary and Back Creek
bridge, distance of fifteen miles, |
counted seven new dwelling houses, two
large barns, ground broken for two more
houses, and the bricks being made for
still another dwelling, al located along or
near the main road OF the valley.
There appears to be a scarcity of labor
on the farms il our valley, partly the re-
suit of so many young men having gone
West last spring, and partly due to the
increased attention being paid to farming,
requiring more hands.
The drOuth Of July injured the corn
crop by shortening the growth of the fod-
der, which will of course lessen the size
of the cars. Just now the weather is just
about right for corn, and that cereal
plant, so important to the farmer, is doing
its level best at growing. Fruit is scarce,
and the crop of Clutter bilins" will be
Spondingly light, much to the regret
of youths and maidcns.
There is quite dearth of first-class
teachers in this county this fall, owing to
Tie light wages offered. Many who have
made good records rs teachers arc seeking
more rcmunerative employment than is
offered to the peGagoguc at present.

4 Bankrupt City.

Tho city OF Wheeling, w. Va, Is COM
plete financial wreck. The constitution
provides that a city cannot create q debt
20 exceed FIVE per cent. OF its taxable prop
c1ty. The State assessment just completed
shows the city property to be valued 1T
$4,000, 0v0, which allows 100000. Some
time ago the Exchange Bank refused to
cash any orders for the city, rs its fund
was then ovcrdlawn Sl4 900. \ meeting
of Council was called and it was ascer-
tanned that no loan negotiated for num-
Der of years past was legal. A new ordi-
nance was prepared, but has not yet
reached the Council. The City Receiver
has borrowed small amounts Of various
persons on the strength Of it, but this
source of revenue has ceased. The police
cashrd their orders for July pay OIL the
street, but there is little hope Of .heir do
ing so again. The tiremen are unpaid for
the last month, as are many other city
employees. a new fire engine has been
bought, and must he paid for in ten days.
The city has overdrawn its account
slGO, coo to date, has not dollar and will
not get any before December taxes come
in. Much suffering is likely to eusue. 1t
is believed the city would vote against an
other loan. Banks won't touch al order,
the city being in round numbers $4,000
beyond the constitutional limit in debt.

Paralysis Cured by lightning.

Abram Cuddcback, a merchant Of Da-
mascus, Pa, was stricken with paralysis
while attending church IN that village
nearly three months ago. Physicians from
New York and Philadelphia were sum
moncd, but they did him no good, and he
remained in ~ almost helpless condition.
The family moved to MataHsas, their pres
ent home, about three weeks ago, an1
since then the local physician has been in
constant attendance on the invalid. A
few days ago he lost his appetite, and it
seemed as though the end was not far OF.
4 heavy thunder storm visited that neigh
borhood on Tuesday, and the air seemed
to be filed with the electric fluid. il
frame house adjacent TO the one occupied
by Mr.. Cuddcbacll was struck by light
ming, and a part of the electric fluid came
through an open window into the room
in which he was sitting. He was thrown
senscless to the floor. His wife helped
him to q chair, and lie was soon restored.
What was her surprise to hear him ask
for food and 4 cup of tea, something he
had not done for several days. a few
minutes afterward she WAS delighted to
learn that her husband had recovered the
full use Of his limbs; and the man, who
was helpless paralytic few days ago,
now walks and talks and eats and drinks
the same rs usual.

A Dentist ia Trouble.

John Hicks, formerly Of West Virginia,
who represents himself as travelling
dentist, was lodged in jaii in liagcrstown
on Tuesday On the charge of committing
rape upon Cora Spielman, the ten-year-
old daughter Of David Spielman, who
lives on Locust street, Hagerstown. Hicks
and his wife have been boarding with
Spiclman for the past six weeks, and the
alleged offence was perpetrated on differ
ont nights during the past week by Hicks,
who, 1t Is charged, entered the child's
room, and, by threatening her with pun
ishment if she resisted or informed amy
one, accomplished his designs. The child
finally disclosed all the circum stances,
Monday, after she had returned with
Hicks, whom she had accompanied at =
o'clock in the morning for the purpose OF
showing him where DR.. Alison lived.
While waiting on the porch for the doc
tors appearance he, she charges, made
another attempt upon her person, and she
was so cruelty treated by him upon that
occasion that, when she returned home,
she Informed her mother. After question
ing, she disclosed the former offences.
The evidence before the justice was too
revolving for publication, and the cool cf-
frontcry of the prisoner and his insinua-
ton that the child was naturally depraved
produced great excitement among the au-
~,
from the assaults, and is scarcely able TO
walk. Hicks is stout-built man and 10
about sixty wears Of age.
