Murders in Alabama.

The excitement still prevails in the vicinity
of Dixie Station, Ala, over the killing Of Scipio
Atchison, colored whose body was found in the
woods, riddled with buckshot, and whose death
is supposed to have been caused by white men,,
against whom he had made threats for pursu-
ing his son. 1t is found that two more ne
grOes Steve Sullivan and Tom Ward, are miss
ing. There are good grounds for believing
that Sullivan was killed on the same night that
Scipio Atchison was murdered. Ward is thought
TO have escaped.
Sullivan and Ward were both friends of
young Atchison. who outraged the white
woman, Mrs. Hesler, and had made frequent
and violent threats. The shooting in both cases
is supposed to have been done by party of
800 men, gathered from a section of 20 miles
square. Young Atchison is still at large but
is being traced up. The white people in the
section where the murders occurred have be-
come alarmed, owing to the threats of the ne
groes, and fear an instruction in the sawmill
and charcoal section, where there are several
hundred colored people.

Vienna Court Etiquette.

Apropos of the retirement Of the
Austrian Minister of Public lnstruc-
ton, Baron Conrad, a Vienna paper
relates the following tragic episode,
which shows how rigidly court
etiquette is observed in Vienna: One
evening, at a so-called aristocratic
picnic " at the Hotel Imperial, one of
his daughters, who was dancing with
the Archduke Ludwig Victor pinned
one of the cotillion orders on her part
ner's coat. Such a thing is strictly
forbidden by etiquette, and the Duke
promptly tore off the order and threw
It on the floor The young Baroness,
being ignorant of this rule, went to her
mother weeping, and left the hall; and
next day Baron Conrad had an audi
ence with the Emperor, begging to re-
tire to private life, on account of the
insult to his family. But the En-
peror smiled, and told him he would
make it all right; and the following
day Ludwig Victor called on Baroness
Conrad and apologized for his APP
parent rudeness in the most chivalres-
que manner.-N Y. Post.

MIXING FEEDS.
An Important Work the Principles Of
Which Are Understood by But Few.

An Important Work the Principles of
Which Are Understood by But Few.
The principle of mixing feeds is a
matter that most farmers know very
little about. The general principle rum
ming all through the art of feeding is
that there are two objects to be obtain
ed-one to make bone and muscle and
the other to make fat. The former are
called carbohydrates and the latter al
buminoids. Thus we have classed as
Carbohydrates, hay, straw, cornstalks
and other roughness, while the albumi-
noids are bran, oil-meal and ground
feed generally for making fat and milk.
In the well-balanced ration there should
be mixed in the ratio of II 1-2 pounds of
the former to - pounds of the latter.
Hiram Smith, an excellent authority,
says: "All animals of about 1000
pounds in weight should have daily twen-
ty-four pounds of dry organic food sub
stance, which means thirty pounds in
ordinary condition" From this formula
the farmer can classify the stock feed he
has on hand. and make up his ration in
the proportions generally set out above.
This is generally done correctly from
long experience, but it is well to know
something of the reason of things which
may account for some errors that exc
perience has not been able to explain

The heap of manure has 62 per cent
ofits original weight. Is not this ruinous
and in accord with the farmers viewsP A
closer inspection of the loss modifies our
views; 1642 pounds of this loss is water
and 81 pounds is organic matter, all of
which saves 20 pounds nitrogen, is oxy-
gen, hydrogen and carbon. Lett go;
the plant gets these materials from ma
ture, while nature forms in the
manure heap gypsum OF plaster
and organic acids to prevent the
escape of the valuable nitrogen.
Nature is crowned with wisdom, and is
an economist we may well initiate. The
minerals not being volatile, of course
have not escaped. "But l smell the es-
Gaping odors of yard manure" medi-
tates doubter. Yes, it may be and
often is sulphurretted hydrogen, and if
heterogeneous matter, we must remember
that grain of musk fills a room with
odor for long time with no apparent
loss. 1t would take, seemingly, an in
finite number of particles or molecules
of ammonia to weigh a pound. Yet,
while denying an important loss of ma
terial from manure from yolatilization
when properly cared for, am for mar
rying it to the soil as soon as convenient,

BILE under ordinary conditions. The
