Saved by a Load OF HaY.

A Bradford penn correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times writes: 81 tell
you what, boys, I've railroaded it for
years and been mixed up in all kinds of
disasters, but l hope to croak right here
if want to be the eyewitness again of
such an awful sight as | saw day or two

tall and handsome woman got into the
ladies' car at Dunkirk. With her was a
bright and interesting boy, possibly two
years of age. The child laughed and
crowed and played with the passengers.
When the train left Cattaraugus the
woman, who seemed nervous, got out of
her seat, picked up the baby and started
for the rear end of the coach. A short
distance east of Cattarangus is long,
deep gulf, over which the railroad has
built high trestle The distance from
the top of the trestle to the wagon road
below is perhaps one hundred feet. A
sharp and short curve leads to the trestle.
AS the train rushed over the gulf a
woman's piercing shrek was heard.
looked and saw an object leap from the
platform into the rocky gulf. That OBJ
ject sir, was the lady passenger, and in
her arms closely clasped to her breast
was her infant. l pulled the bell-cord
and the train came to halt. How il
happened cannot say, but at the time
the woman jumped load of hay, drawn
by pair of oxen, passed under the
trestle. Mother and child landed squarely
in the center of the hay and were thus
saved from horrible death. The farmer
was so Mortified that he jumped from his
wagon and darted up the hill. The
woman, who was not hurt in the least
said her name was Mrs. Adam Scell and
her home in Michigan. She was OF heI
way to visit friends in the oil country
Hers was indeed miraculous escape.
Mrs. Sell said that she could not explain
her action When near the car door she
was seized with an insane desire to jumI
from the train. The farmer, as he drove
along, was thinking of his dead wife and
daughter. When the visitors came
through the clouds, as it were, ant
landed on his hay he thought that thu
dear departed had come back to earth t.
revisit him.

Rye straw for tying grapevines is
cheaper and better than cord or wire {;
also for tying trees to stakes. 1t is best
cut before quite ripe.
The light Brahma fowls have stood the
tests of experiment longer than any of
our pure breeds, combining more good
qualities than any other.
The New York Tribune says that a
grower who raises cabbages effectually
prevented the depredations of the cab
bage-worm by killing all the white but
terHies that appeared in the field.
In packing bees for winter see that
there is an abundance of ventilation, not
only through the combs, so that the bees
can at any time during the winter have
access to their supplies, but at the bot
tom Of the hives so that they can have
plenty of fresh air.
At this season of the year, as the ma
nure heaps are accommodating, there will
be frequent cases of "fire- fanging." This
may be obviated by frequently turning
the heap, by judicious use of absorbcnts,
or by drawing the manure and spread
ing it on the field.
No grain gives better returns for the
number of pounds than oats as feed for
young pigs. Oats will also fatten pork,
but not so rapidly as corn, nor will they
make so large proportion of lard and
fat meat. Their chief advantage is in
furnishing more bulk in the feed.
Where stubble is left long, and has not
been beaten down by pasturing, it affords
very considerable protection to young
clover. 1t prevents the snow from being
blown off by winter winds, and is thus
probably worth more to the farmer thar
an equal amount of straw in his stacks OF
barnyard.
Celery should be earthed up as fast as
it grows in order to get it to blanch well
Still the operation must not be com.
menced too early, as the growth might
be weakened somewhat thereby. Above
all things, allow no soil to get into the
heart in earthing, as the crown is apt tc
rot from this.
No process for gathering apples ha;
improved or hasted the old and slow one
of careful handpicking. With selfsus
tanning ladders and low heads most Of
the fruit may be easily gathered. One
advantage of low heads is that even il
the fruit falls much of it will not bt
seriously injured.
Don't make perches for fowls too higt
nor on an inclined plane. If low down
they will be just as well satisfied and b.
less liable to injury from flying or fall

perch is, fowls will not be safe from
thieves unless the hen house is locked
every night.

nine inches from the cellar wall and pach

De Lesseps does well to be visiting his
Panama Canal; for, if the reports are
trustworthy, it certainly requires his
presence. OF the 10000 men ostensiblY
working upon it, less than half during
the wet season could be employed and
600 were in the hospital or at home sick.
The idea of opening it in 1888 is pro
nounced preposterous. According to
Panama estimates $50, 900, 900, or one
third of the capital has been spent, and
only one. thirtieth of the canal finished.
Time and money have been wasted in
planting trees and shrubbery and i'm
proving the landscape while the real
work has dragged. However, that is
something in which the French and
other Europeans who have invested in
the scheme will be the most interested.

Statistics as to the employment of
women in England show that, while
nearly all of them are engaged in occu-
pations which require no high degree OF
muscular development, 347 of them are
blacksmiths. The number of female
teachers is 1913, 995. The blacksmith,
thus it appears, has no reason to "view
