When Mr.. Carskadon had looked far
enoughinto ensilage to ounderstandthes sys-
tenn and appreciate its economic value, he
determined to test 1t on his Radical Hill
Farm. Mr.. John Babb, Of Grapt county,
West virginia's pioneer in ensilage, had
ledthe way, and Mr.. Carskadon came in
q good second. Hehas alarge three-story
barn, which, am told, Is the best barn
In Mineral county. In this building, on
the ground floor, he built three silos,
each! Of sixty tons capacity. The work
was neither difficult nor expensive.
He found It convenient TO use the west
ern end Of the barn. Running two
partitions across he had three compart.
ments, each OF which was to be q silo.
Using the walls OF the barn rs far as they
went, be put up an inner wall or lining Of
common boards, and between the two
walls he packed In eindef to make his

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 2i.-Particulars Of
TIA collision on the West Shore railway at
Canajohaiie today received here 50 far
are as follows: A freight train bound
east stood on the main track around a
curve and out Of the village when apas-
senger train was seen coming at speed Of
80 miles an hour and only a short distance
away lThe,whistles oftboth engines blew
fefce1y but IN an instant the crash came.
On the passenger train were three en-
|gines. The head one was No.1l35, An

son, engineer, Jas. 0'Brien, fireman;
third, No. Ss, Thomas Finch, engineer,

The freight train had one engine, No.

fireman; both were killed. From their
position under the wreck twas evident
they attempted TO jump. Both we're
crushed horribly and doubtless Instantly
killed. Engineer Wilkinson swas lhtiftl
about the face and head severely. En-
Tgineer Zimmerman was hurt about the
back and otherwise, and for time, 1t was
thought he would die. The other en-
Igineers and fremen escaped with slight
injuries. The second passenger engine
was stripped of most of its wheels, and
the boiler stands at an angle OF 45 degrees.
There, were Ave passenger coaches, and
although the passengers were badly shaken
up, none were reported seriously injured.

ed for less than Sl25,000. The four en-.
.gines were wedged into each other, and
three seem TO be damaged beyond repair.
A work train removed the bodies and
cleared the west track. The blame lies
between the fagman Of the freight train
and the dispatcher who ordered the pas
sehger train to change ,at Fultonyille %

WHAT IT IS AND wIIEScE IT CANE =
But before going further it will perhaps
be interesting to those who have not fol-
lowed the subject to know whatit is about.
a silo is repository for green forage
crops. The forage thus preserved is ensi-
lage, by which name the system itself is
also called. 1t Is comparatively d new
thing in this country, which gets 1t from
France. Some authorities have claimed
for It Oriental origin, and from what / can
gather think it quite likely that the
Eastern peoples praeticed at an early day q
system u ensilage, perhaps directed
chiefly to grain.saving. 1t is said that
tho ancient Romans preserved in cisterns
fruits grains and fodder, putting them
under great pressure. The French took
the idea from Mexico, getting at least that
much out of the Maximillian misadven:
ture. The Mexicans In turn are supposed
to have taken the hint from Spain. IL
now we imagine Spain to have learned it
from, the. MoOrs, the circle. Of speculation
iscomplete. and II may well be that 'ensi-
lage is OF Eastern origin.

A Plucky Woman.

Our County jail has long been known
as one of the most insecure prisons in
the State, and every night when leaving
there the Sheriff has to lock the prison
ers up in the cells in order to keep them
safe.
There were seventeen prisoners in the
iail on last Friday night, and owing to
this great number the Sheriff had to put
nine of them in the large cell. During;
the night one fellow managed to get ou;
of the cell, and by some means he pro-
cured piece of iron with which he broke
the lock and turned out the other eight.
They Immediately began prizing off the
bars from one of the windows, and in a
few minutes more all of them would
have been free. But Mrs. Gaskins, a
daughter of the jailcr, heard the noise,
when she picked up bar of iron, unlock
ed the outer door and rushed into the
corridor where the prisoners were work.
ing at the window. She drove the last
one of them back into their cell in short
order and kept guard at the door until
the Sheriff (who had been sent for)
arrived and took charge of the Jail.
Several of the prisoners are hard custom
,rs, and term in the pcnitentiary awaits
them.
The jailer is a cripple, and has long
been confined to his bed, being unable to
get up at all, so that his duties have been
attended to by the daughter during that
time, and she has proven herself worthy
of the trust reposed in her. The ring
leaders have been manacled, and no fur
ther trouble is feared now, but we can
still hurrah for the plucky little woman.

increase of interest grows, we publish ~
as a caution to our readers against bc.-
rowing at high rates of interest," l
zone of the causes of bankruptcy,is
that so few persons properly estimate the
difference between high and low rate
of interest, and therefore often borrow
money at ruinous rate, that no ieeitij
mate business can stand. Very few fial(
figured on ,nis difference between six
and eight per cent. One dollar loaned
for one hundred years at six per cent,
with the interest collected annually and
added to the principal, will amount to-
S940. at eight per cent. it amounts to-
S2,2O9, or nearly seven times as much,
At three per cent, the usual rate of sin.
terest in England, it amounts to $19.26 I;
whereas at ten per cent, which haSabeen
very common rate in the United Srafe
it amounts to S13,S09, or about seyei5
hundred times as Iucb. At eigh5ee1y
per cent. it amounts to SIS, Jas, ,007.f At
twenty-four per cent. (which we soae-
times hear talked of) it reaches the enor
nous sum of 1855, ,799,404. One hui.
dred dollars borrowed at six per Gent,
with the interest compounded annually,
will amount to Sl,842, in fifty years,

How to Manage a Man.

Nothing on earth fetches a man like a
good dinner and well dressed wife pre-
siding. The husband who can look fos.
ward to such state of things every day
of his life will never tire of home, and
the wife who studies his comfort will
have little difficulty in managing him
according to her will. Men are grega-
rious animals and will wander in spite of
all allurements, but they are selfish
enough to remain where they are best
treated, and by taking little trouble for.
a year or two Of married life the years
that follow will, as rule, find the husband
always glad to go back to the prett
home where smiles await him and the
dinner spoke of. There are so many
women who object to being "bossed,n as
they call it. Ny dear ladies, you car.
always be boss if you take the trouble.
By giving in you get your ow1,s ,:;sy,iis
you never would by fighting for it. Aad,
after all, it is better to feel you respect
your husband so much that to give into
him is not difficulty.
Nine men out of ten are manageable
if you 60 the right way about it, and one
great point is to act after marriage list
as you did before. Argument and coz.
tradiction are vital enemies to married
peace. Should you wish for anything
particularly, don't insist upon it after5e.
