A Probable Suicide.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Iast night ". T. Me-
Clure while making a call at a house on
Oak street, heard the appealing cries OF a
woman from the lake. He ran to the spot,
and seeing her struggling in the water, sum-
moned the police. The patrol wagon soon
arrived, and with hook attached to a rope,
got her out of the water. She was not far
from the pier. When taken out she was
dead. A heavy cloak and the furs she wore
kept her from sinking. She is a handsome
looking, dark-complexioned woman, about
thirty years old, with black hair. She was
finely and fashionably dressed. The body
was removed to the morgue Mr. Mcclure
says that on nearing the lake he saw man
Jump into buggy near the spot and hur-
riedly drive away. This gave rise 10 the
suspicion that the woman had been foully
dealt with, but the arrival of an officer who
said he had met two men leisurly driving in
a buggy, who had told him that they had
heard woman's cries in the lake at the foot
of OaA street, tended to destroy that sus-
picoin. 1t is believed the woman COM
mitted suicide. One of her fingers has a
plain gold ring, marked on the inside "F.
w. b. to NJ. J.. {. H."

Wheat succeeds better in clover than in

A BOILER BURSTS.
Two Persons Killed and Several Wounded

RocKPoRT, Ind. Nov. 20.-A terrible boiler
explosion occurred at Richland City, Spen-
Ger County, ten miles west Of here. at .
o'clock this afternoon, by which two persons
were killed and five wounded, one probably
fatally. The boiler of grist mill belonging
to S. F. Mclaughlin, in exploding, was
lifted from its bed and passed through the
walls of the mill and then through the store of
Mclaughlin, killing Mrs. Mclaughlin, thence
through blacksmith shop, killing Charles
Fisher, who was working at the anvil. The
anvil and the body OF Fisher were carried
some distance, and the shop was demolished.
The boiler then passed through barn sixty
feet distant and was stopped by striking a
large oak tree over 800 feet from where it
started. Mckinney, Township Trustee was
struck on the head by brick, but not seri-
ously hurt. Hildebrand, Jones, Bennett and
Fortune were scalded, the first named prob

Care of Belts.

Karl Morgenroth a mill-owner at PhanZ-
wirbach, Germany, warns millers against
cleaning their belts with warm water after
taking them off the pulleys. Belts treated
by him that way though profusely creased
Immediately after the process, shrunk so
much that it was impossible to replace them,
and piece of leather had to be inserted by
means of Harris braces. Little by little
the belts would expand to their former
length, and the inserted piece had to be re-
moved. The whole thing was very annoy
ing, and much time was wasted. Therefore
Mr.. MOrgenrath recommends that when
belts require cleaning and greasing. just to
leave them where they are. Some day,
when the mill does not run, the dirt stick
ing to the belt is removed with a blunt
knife and a sharp brugh Then the miller
will make the belt run slowly, and while in
motion grease it thoroughly by this method.
but it will soon recover its polish by rapid
running. The oiled belt will perhaps slip
at first, but that need not trouble the
miller. As soon a. the grease has been ab-
sorbed in some degree by the belt the slip
ping will cease. Mr.. MOrgenroth used to
grease a pletty long belt, fourteen centimet-
ers wide, even while the mill was in motion;
but the grease must be applied only in small
quantities.

When and How to Feed Horses.
TAmerican Agriculturist.l


A horse ought to be fed when he is hun
CRY, and he ought 20 be hungry every day.
What makes him hungry? The constant
waste of the system. The muscles when
brought into use waste somewhat, especially
exercise or labor is draft upon the muscu-
lar system, in fact upon the whole system.
After the system has been taxed, and If the
tax is sufficient to partially exhaust or Ia
tigue the animal, rest Is more important
than feed hence the horse should stand and
rest awhile before he is fed. Digestion de-
mands flow of blood to the organs then at
work, and as the blood has been drawn away
from them to sustain the muscular exertion
during labor, il should not be suddenly with
drawn and turned in upon the organs of
digestion-hence let him rest, and after an
hour or so he viii be found keen and sharp
set"
There is probably no food so good for re-
cuperating exhausted muscles than good,
sound, heavy oats. They are easily dlgested,
nutritious, muscle-building and blood-mak-
ing in a high degree. They are little heat
ing, do not tend to make horses sweat, and
on the whole are the best food a horse can
have. Barley is yeEy good, not equal to
oats. Indian corn is a poor substitute, not
so easily digested, heating, and causing the
animal to sweat As to system, a horse
should have hay first, then grain, and water
when these are digested, or water should be
given half an hour az least before feeding.
Horses often have dyspepsia, induced by
being fed when warm, or being worked after
a full meal. The practice OF feeding hard
worked horses AT noon and working them
Immediately after. is of doubtful utility.
Horses will go eight and probably ten hours
without food ii properly fed at evening and
morning. They should have water more
frequently, but never when hot.

Another R-et.Suror scheme.

Mr.. +. AIeeker who is endeavoring TO in
trOduce the manufacture of beet sugar in
Washington Territory, recently made the
statement on the subject TO the representa-
tive of Seattle paper: You, of course, are
aware that a Joint stock company has
been formed for the purpose of manu-
featuring sugar from beets i'm this
country, and that articles of incorporation of
the Valley Sugar Company have been filed.
At a meeting of the trustees j was chosen

$4,000 tons of beets per annum for five years,
the price fixed on being $3.50 per ton.
promised. Measures have already been taken
to secure site for factory opposite Alvord's
place, on White River so that freight
can be taken TO and from the
factory either by the route or by
rail. The size of the works contemplated is
sufficient 10 turn out 10000 pounds of sugar
per day, and the furnaces will consume fully
10000 tons OF coal per annum. ! recently
visited Germany for the purpose of investi-
eating the beet sugar industry there and to
ascertain by comparison if it would be
practical TO inauguraie the industry on Puget
Sound. j found that sugar was there being
produced from beets as cheaply as it is
in any OF the cane-prOducing regions in the
world. From years of study and research,
and large outlay of money in travelling and
investigating the subject, ! am convinced
that we can manufacture sugar here as
cheaply as they do in Germany, and conse-
quently can compete with any sugar cane
producing region on the continent"

Apple Pomace for stock.

Probably few farmers know the value of
apple pomace as feed. An analysis by the
State Chemist of Connecticut proves that
fresh, well-preSSed pOmace lis a richer food
than any other vegetable except potatoes"
But apple pomace, writes correspondent of
the Indiana Farmer, to be valuable, must be
fed while sweet. before fermentation COM
mences. 1t should also be fed in small guam
titles at feeding-say fifteen pounds to each
head of grown cattle. The practice of some
farmers of hauling out half a wagon-load at
one time is not only wasteful, but liable to
produce harm. If farmers who have silos,
and who are making cider. would put there
in their pomace and keep it sweet, it would
richly pay for the labor. 1t could be fed
from the silO as sweet and fresh as when
taken from tire press. Here / would remark
that if 1t lies too long OH the press it begins
to ferment, which spoils il as a valuable
food. The process of grinding the apples
and pressing out the cider should he short,
that the pomace may be fed or put away
while sweet. 1t is estimated that the pomace
product in the United States is not less than
100000 tons, which, If properly preserved
and fed, would be worth s, 600, 900 per year.
These facts are well worth the attention oil
farmers who are making much cider. II

Raised on the Farm.
Middle Georgia August

Born and raised on the farm" 4 boy
should thank God for being so fortunate as
TO be born and raised on the farm. There is
no place on this green earth so well adapted
TO perfectly develop mind, muscle and man
hood as farm; there boy has the purest
air, the freshest and healthiest food, plenty
of restricted exercise. the brightest sunshine
and the soundest sleep-the very conditions
necessary for the highest development. Nine
tenths of all the men who have made their
mark in any business profession or pursuit
have been born and raised on the farm: this
Is not 80 much because there is better blood
on the farm, but because the surroundings
of farm life are better calculated to call out
what there is in boy and develop full
grown, healthy, perfect, self-reliant man.
