Fallen leaves, dead animals, Stops from the
house--oiten lost in the drain-dry muck,
the urine OF the stables, night soil, turf,
leaves from hedge rows, are all matter for
deposit in the compost heap, which passes
them into what is as good as ready money
for use in the field and garden. All Of
these should-he. deposits are often wasted,
and the farmer, in place Of them, spends
his hard.earned income for chemical fer
tilizers, which are well enough in their
place, but not economical until all the
home resources are exhausted.t

A long series of experiments have been
recently concluded in Europe by eminent
investigators in regard to the profitable
consumption OF farm products bydomestic
animals, and the pig-well bred--came out
victorious. Without doubt the pig is the
most profitable, consuming cheap grains,
etc. The pigis not over tastidious about
what lie eats, is possessed Ola perfect
digestive apparatus, and consumes many
waste products that other stock reject.
The iat pig is n beast that requires but
little attention, beyond clean quartes,and
food in quantity sufficient for his wants,
and when killed the netweight approaches
very close to the gross or live weight.
Kept in health and well bred the owner
OF grain farm can always keep "tioCk"
Of pigs with manifest profit.

Belya Ann Lockwood, late candidate for
President has either cut the Wo'nan's
sufrrare Association or the members OF
that body have cut her. The Association
met in Washington City, and the evening
before it convened BeIva packed her Vallse
and started off on lecture tour.
Some OF the members OF the Asso-
citation like Susan D. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have e1-
pressed themselves rs greatly incensed
over Mrs. Lockwood's action in the
campaign, thinking it was too ad'
yanced for the times and only brought
ridicule on the aims and objects OF
the woman's suffrage question. The name
of the candidate for the Presidency was
not mentioned during the proceedings oil
the convention, and it is presumed that
tho silent contempt expressed by this
slight was meant to be enough to crush
Belya, and that her name will never again
appear on the roll OF the Association.
1t is not likely, however, that Mrs. Lock-
wood is much hurt. She was the only
candidate who came out ahead in tho can;
vass in tho shape OF welI.alled pocket
book, and while her more scdate sisters
never speak as they pass by she can draw
consolation from bank account that was
considerably augmented by her can.
didacy. Besides no scandal was breathed
against her, il we accept the audacious
publication that reported to give the color
OF her hose. Belya has shown that she is
indifferent to her censors, and they no
doubt are equally satisfied that they have
crushed her for her impertinence. So the
matter stands.

The Indiana HOG Still Ahead.

The Marion County Society last night observed
the action of the extract of pepsne and pancreas
on starch and on milk, as shown by the travelling
man of Fairchild Bros & Foster. Several med
'ical gentlemen admitted the excellence and
therapeutic value of these preparations, but
stated that they had quite as good results in
the treatment Of dyspepsia and summer com
plants of children from the use of the liquid
preparation of pancreas prepared in
this city by Drs George Sloan and John
Hurry. These pharmacists get the fresh pan
creases of Indiana hogs, still fresh and warm,
from Kingan's pork house, and make fresh prep
arations, better for immediate use than the i'm
ported powders.
There seems to be no need to ship the Indiana
hog to New York and London, and then send
the pancreatic extract back to Indianapolis to
improve the digestion of our citizens.

Gen. Knefer Gives Reasons for the Heavy In.

The following clipping from the Washington.
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer was
shown to General Fred Knefer, pension agent,

General Blacks attention, 1 am told, will be
called pretty early in his occupancy of the Pen
sion Office to the manner in which the Indian
apolis pension Office has advanced in Importance.
Two wears ago it thirteenth on the list in
amount of money paid to pensioners. Colonel
Dudley has elevated il to the fourth on the list.
In order to accomplish this thousands OF legiti-
mate claims laid aside, and the Indiana
claims given preference i am told that over
5000 600 of Indiana claims referred by the House
of Representatives to the board which passes on
such matters were examined and passed in pref
ference over other equally honest applicants,
with view of making Republican capital in the
Hoosier State. 4 great deal of the same sort of
work was done i'll Ohio
General EneAer ssd ''The report of the
auditor for 1881 shows Indiana to be not thir-
teenth but seventh on the list in amount of
money paid to pensioners. Fer the year ending
June 80, 1884, this Office paid out 81 $50 249 "A,
and is third on the list, being preceded in the
order named by the pension agencies of Column
bus, O., and Chicago H. All the Offices in the
country have advanced in about the same ratio
and this has increased no faster than the other
agencies. ! never saw any favoritism-neyer

comes not from increase in the rolls and certif-
Gates, but the gratuitous aud exceedingly bur

since July t. 1854 for claim agents--in
collecting claim agents fees, and for which we
get no remuneration. The increase in the bust
ness of Western agencies, leaving out the work
We do for claim agents, has been natural enough,
and is, by reason of their geographical position

creased greatly. The position Of the Eastern
agencies enabled them to get in their claims at
the beginning. besides which names are dropping
of the Eastern rolls by reason of emigration, and

A Defunct Firm sued for $4,000

George d. Brown, of Montgomery county, has
brought suit against Richard L. Boyd and Ben
jamin D. Brown, formerly owners of tho West
ern Elevator" for conversion of wheat stored by
the plaintiff. An $4,000 judgment is wanted.
The complaint alleges that between the 1st day
of October and 1st day of December, 1884. he
shipped for storage 49, 900 bushels of wheat, of
grade designated by warehousemen as 80 red,
and was of the value of $4,000. II is further
alleged that Boyd sold out his interest, and that
Brown continued the business; that plaintiff
paid $4,000 charges for storage, and that the
wheat had been sold without his orders or con
sent, and that after said sale they disposed o.
of the interest in the warehouse A lively tim,
is expected in this suit, and the trial will n,
doubt bring out some interesting evidence.

The Harrisons Receivership Litigation.

Judge Walker yesterday overruled the de-
murrer to the petition of Charles Mayer and
others against Judge Lamb receiver of Alfred
and J. S. C. Harrison The parties desired the
property to be sold to satisfy mortgage. The
court held that suit cannot be brought against
a receiver without consent of court, and that the
pleadings were correct as such. The receiver will
probably file an answer, which he thinks will
avoid the mortgage The court said that he
hoped an early settlement of affairs would be
brought about
