A Hard Case.

Willie Kelby, the precocious young coon
to-day sentenced to ten days in the county
Jail by Justice Halstead, has, perhaps, de.
veloped history or rapidly as any one
eve did. Born illegitimstely of heed
less mother, reared in the purlieus of Mad
anne Hicks bagnio, neglected, kicked,
cursed and left to his own resources, he has
rapidly adapted himself to his znfavorable
with an intelligence simply
marvellous. When q mere babe he lost an
eve, but not courage. Some two years ago,
while climbing about the cars he lost leg,
but not his nerve or energy. Daily since
recovering could he be seen hobbling about
his old haunts, the streets, on q crutch,
still neglected, kicked and cuffed, his
mother declaring, "Befo' de Lo'd l can't
do muffin wild i'm"
1t is only natural he should turn to .
thief, and in the past few days he has de-
vefoped talent in that direction quite in
keeping with his previous precocity, hav.
ing in that time stolen four different pistols
from as many parties, besides innumerable
minor articles.
When arraigned yesterday he wept Bit
terly while the Judge lectured him, con-
Tossing to all the charges, and voluntarily
telling of other petty larcenies, and where
he had disposed of his plumber. His I'M
natural mother exhibited an inhuman
Indifference as to his fate, saying
she did not care what they did with him
30 they did not kill him.
There is in Sedalia very large number
of Juveniles, both black and white, SINH
larly situated 10 poor Willie, and it is not
only shame, but downright sin and dis.
grace, that Sedalis hiss no other corrective
Institution for them than Jail where are
congregated the most hardened adults to
train them onward in their downhill
course.

THE WORK OF DESTRUCTION
A COUPLE OF CRANKS.
Some of Their Queer Antics-How
Officer Wentzleman was Sold

Bob DeGarmo and Steve Ford mention
ed in to-days police court report, are both
too well-known to need any introduction
to Sedalians, but ii is not SO we'll known
that they are both more or less insane.
Their fondness for liquor having generally
led people to look upon their caprices as
the effects of drunkenness. But their cases
were yesterday dismissed by the recorder
on the ground of their insanity, and an eff
fort will be made to have them sent to the
asylum.
Previous to Steve Ford's arrest Mo lday
night, he INDUCED in some queer freaks in
order to raise money to 60 on spree.
Among other things he visited the resi-
dence of DR.. Frazier, in East Sedalia, dur
ing the doctors absence, and represented
himself 10 Mrs. Frazier as stranger and
that his team had been run into by the
oars, killing his horses and two little daugh-
tiers, and he wished for money to bury
them. He also stated he was utterly desti-
tute. Mrs Frazier offered him something
to eat, but this he Indignantly refused
and departed. From whom he got the
means to procure liquor is unknown but
later he was found most gloriously how
come-yeuso and housed in the East Se-
drlis calaboose.
AS to De Garmo, after the dismissal of
his case he gave the best evidence in the
world of his unsoundness and at the same
time unwittingly carried out one of the
best Jokes of the season upon the police.
II seems that previous to the trial Char
lie Kelk, the fire engineer, had made sp-
plication to the police for the services of
prisoner about the engine house for the
day and Officer Wentzelmsn to whom the
application was made stated he would give
him De Garmo after he was fined, never
for moment doubling repetition OF the
old story in his case. But matters turned
out otherwise.
Nevertheless, without thought of this
Mr.. Wentzelman took his prisoner to the
engine house, where De Garmo put in the
day at labor the mistake being undiscover-
ed until bringing the prisoners their sup
pers. Then Marshal Barnett discovered
De Garmo in q cell and after giving him a
hearty meal released him.

A Blaze at Lincoln.

Lincoln, Mo-, May 81. -lSpeeial. J.
About 100 o'clock this morning the gen.
general merchandise store of John Van
Horn at this place was burned TO the
ground and its entire contents consumed.
The origin of the conAagration is un-
known. Occurring as it did when every
one was asleep, the flames had obtained
such Roadway before being discovered that
nothing could be done toward saving the
property. There are rumors that the store
was first robbed and then set on FIRE by
thieves, but this is, so fsI, mere conjecture.

WILSON'S WRATH.
How It Led to a Wild and
Wicked Way Of Wreak-
ing Vengeance.
How He Elected a Family and
Raised a Perfect Furore Of
Excitement.

In the neighborhood of Melton Station,
on the narrow guage road, five miles SOUTH
west of Cole Camp, resides farmer named
Felix Williams. Mr.. Williams is an old
man and somewhat feeble, and the head of
a family consisting of a wife and several
daughters. Owing to his advanced age he
has for some time sub-let portion of his
farm on the shares, and, sas is usually the
ing are none of the best.
This spring Mr.. Williams had for ten
ant
ONE J. z. WILSON,
who, while said TO be fair worker, is at
the same time addicted to an occasional
outbreak of recklessness. Wilson pro-
ceeded to get in his crop, but was some
what annoyed by the predatory incursions
of Williams hogs, owing to the aforesaid
Indifferent fences, and the result was sever
al decidedly unpleasant alterations be-
tween the two, but these, of course, failed
to make the fences good, and Wilson's
wrath waxed warmer and warmer until il
eliminated Monday in white heat venting
Of vengence.
GOING TO COLE CAMP,
Wilson filled his tank full of courage in
spring bug juice, bought an additional
half gallon jugful of the same liquid, and
informing the Cole Campers he was going
TO raise h-n with old Williams, he de-
parted for home. By the time he arrived
there he was ready for almost any wild
freak. Aiming himself with a Ratchet
and huge revolver he repaired to Will
liams' house, and entering abruptly, an
nounced 10 the astonished family that he
had come for the purpose of maDufactur-
ing them into sausage, at the same time
hourishing his
LITTLE RATCHET AND BIG REVOLVER.
1t is needless to say, from youngest TO
oldest, did not stand upon the order OF
their going or wait for him to commence
his kindly intimated intentions, but each
and all incontinently fed, screaming
through the woods for the nearest neigh
bors. After vain chase for short dis.
lance Wilson returned to the domicile and
finding himself master of the situation
proceeded to perforate the clock, mirror and
other household adjuncts with bullet holes
and otherwise destroy their utility and
beauty. Having completed
THE WORK OF DESTRUCTION
to his satisfaction he retired into privacy.
Meantime feet horseman had been sent
to Cole Camp for Constable SMASH and a
posse headed by that functionary were
soon on the scene of the late route and
battle, but Wilson was honest, and UP to

For Farmers.
The Sly.
BACON vs.. PORK.

A few years ago / made an expert
ment or two in order to find out
whether it was most profitable to sell
my pork or to make bacon oft and
then sell it at the prevailing prices.
/ killed a Chester white hog that
weighed dressed 40 pounds of pork,
worth at that time seven cents per
pound-s30.80. The meat when
cured was hung in a smoke-house for
six weeks, then weighed and solt.
There was in all-hams, shoulders,
sides and jowl-S26 pounds, which sold
at an average price of II IL cents per
pound-s33. "a. Adding to this sum
the value of the trimmings, lard, &c. +,
was gained total of 1886, or profit
on making the pork into bacon of
s11.O9. This hog was about fifteen
months old, and the shrinksge in
weight making bacon was twenty
seven pounds.-Thomas Wood.
SHELTER FOR SWINE.
Experiments made at the Kansas
college show that it pays to protect
hogs. The animals as nearly alike as
possible were kept, during the last two
winters, in separate pens, five in the
basement of barn and five in the
yard without covering, save straw for
beds. They were fed with Indian
corn twice day, each mess being
carefully weighed. The result was
that each bushel of corn fed in the
barn made eleven and three-tenths
pounds of pork, while each bushel fed
to the outside pigs made nine and
three tenths pounds of pork. This
shows that of every bushel of corn fed
to the unsheltered pigs. an amount
capable of making one and six-tenths
pounds of pork was used in keeping
the pigs warm. The sheltered pigs
required 400 pounds of corn to make
100 pounds of pork. The unsheltered
pigs required $40 pounds of corn to
make 100 pounds of pork.
RINGING HOGS.
1t is not advisable to use rings the
year round, nor on swine Of all ages.
They are needed most in the spring,
but it is proper to keep them on dur
ing summer and remove them in au-
tumn particularly if the hogs are
turned GU mast, or follow cattle in
feed lots or stalk fields. Injury to
their fellows is sometimes avoided by
using rings upon mischievous and VIC
ious swine. Brood sows, in some
cases, acquire the habit oflifting gates
and roofing down fences. A couple
of rings efectually cure them of this
habit.
FEEDING PIGS.
The Lancaster Farmer says: In
the artificial feeding of young pigs.
skim milk stands at the head of food,
and when there is plenty of that there
need be no serious uneasiness about
the results. Cooked meal may be
advantageously added to the milk, in
small quantities, provided there is
plenty of milk, as it is the milk that
will furnish the albuminoids and min
eral elements. Indeed the proportion
of say about one pound to a quart of
milk, is very desirable.
CoBs FOR HOGS.
A correspondent of the New York
World has long practiced charring re-
fuse corn cobs for his hogs. When
thoroughly blackened he sprinkles the
cobs with salt. This induces the hogs
to eat them greedily. His herd has
never been troubled with hog cholera.
Has the charred cobs kept of the d.
sease !? The correspondent thinks

ROBERTS RACKET.
Jack Robert, Alias Frank
Robinson, Again Comes
to Grief.
The Late Larceny Cleverly Traced
to Him and an Officer Sent to
Rearrest Him.

The readers of the BAZoo will remember
the arrest and subsequent release last Sat-
urday of one Jack Roberts, slias Frank
Robinson, q railroad brakeman on the
charge of grand larceny, for the stealing of
a S48 suit of clothes from Burch Ruther-
ford at the boarding house of Mrs. Matte
Fewel on Third street. At the time of the
arrest the clothing could not be found in
Roberts possession or was there adduced
any evidence that would warrant his being
held, hence his dismissal without trial. So
certain, however, were those acquainted
with the circumstances of the
case and interested in the
matter, that he was the guilty party, that
a quiet watch was kept upon his move
ments, and the result goes to show they
were not mistaken.
Monday evening Roberts was seen 10
board train in company with a well
known prostitute of this place, and leave
in an easterly direction.
Inquiry revealed the fact that he had
gone 10 Chamois and put up with the cy.
prian, registering her at the hotel as his
wife.
1t was also ascertained that he had been
seen by the conductor after the train start
ed, to transfer from the baggage of the frail
one TO his own valise the identical suit of
clothes in question, and yesterday evening
Robert Fewel, son of Mrs Fewel, swore out
a warrant for Roberts, alias Robertson's
arrest which was placed in the hands of q
deputy who left last night for Chamois
and will to-day bring the gay and festive
Roberts to Sedalia where be has fattering
prospect Of receiving an appointment to q
position in the state institution At Jefferson
city for several years to come.

The Garden.

1t is said that gardening is prac-
tically taught in more than 10000
primary schools in France. If this
be true it accounts for the fact that
small farming is so general and 30
profitable In that country. The day
is not distant when such instruction
will be demanded in the schools of
our country.
The latest insecticide I have read
of is recommended by a correspondent
of the Rural New Yorker. 1t con-
sists of one part buttermilk and three
parts water. 1t is reported a sure
preventive of ravages by cabbage
worms. A little stronger of butter.
milk the mixture kills the striped Gu
cumber beetle. 1t certainly can not
be harmful to plants or to persons
using it, and shall make a test of
it at the proper time.
Farmers can not expect to raise
choice vegetables without labor now,
but the garden plat really pays better
than field crops for the time and
labor given it. Weed seeds are ger
minating rapidly, and most garden
soils are well filled with them. The
hoe and the rake must be piled con-
staDtly or weeds will get the best of
the struggle. Throwing the earth up
little around most growing vege-
tables is better than level culture.
For growing plants q weekly appli.
cation of diluted manure will
wsrk wonders, but those in a state of
rest are better without it; and in fact
they need little water Of any kind
until growth begins.

The Apiary
TRANSFERRING BEES.

As some people keep bees in box
hives, and will want to transfer them
in the spring, PERHAPS word on the
Subject will be of some benefit. The
best time to transfer bees is when ap-
pie trees are in bloom, or any time
when they are bringing in honey fast,
as the robbers will not be 80 trouble
some then. Bore two holes in each
side of the frame, and make some
wooden pins of different lengths; get
some rags or dry cotton wood to make
smoke, and with a cold chisel or
Ratchet pry the top and one side off
the box. Now set box on top of
the one the bees are In, and smoke
them up into it. Cut the comb out,
lay the frame on it. and cut as near
the size of the inside of the frame as
possible. Now run the pins through
the frame into the comb. The bees
will soon build it fast. Save all combs
that have scaled brood. Remove the
old hive, set the new one in its place,

of it. Care should be taken not to
kill the queen in the operation.
The more bees you raise from a
given number of stecks in one season,
the less surplus houey will be your re.
ward. Hence it requires much hon.
ey and pollen to propagate for extra
swarms.
One good, prolific, Italian or Holy
Land queen will lay $4,000 to 100
600 eggs in a good honey season, thus
producing three to five, and sometimes
as high as eight swarms during a
season.
All necessary handling of bees
must be done with the utmost rapidity,
and with as little disturbance as posi-
BILE.
