In hot weather the droppings of
animals confined in stables ferment
very quickly, and therefore absorb
ents are necessary, not only to save
waste but for the comfort and health
of animals. Something is wanted,
not merely to hold liquid excrement
from. waste but for the comfort and
health Of animals. Straw makes
good bedding, but is next to worth
less for this purpose. Dry earth is
the best absorbent, and it may be
got anywhere on much travelled
roads, and in the country from the
fields. When returned to the field
as it should be, the dry earth will
be found all excellent fertilizer. A
very thin covering ofearth is enough

GOOD FRUIT FOR EVAPORATION.
From the glut of unsuitable evap-
grated fruit which prevailed so long
last year and into this season, fruit
growers may learn a valuable lesson.
1t is to use only the best, Or at least
good fruit for ev%aporating purposes.
1t is often said that poor, wormy
or otherwise inferior fruit may be
used for drying with no chance of
detection. But it does make a diff
ference in quality of the product, as
any one may know by a moments
reflection. Ifthe consumer cannot
detect poor dried fruit by appear
ance he is apt to reject it altogether,
thus permanently injuring the fruit
growing business. In the great
amount of fruit now thrown upon
the market it would be a misfortune
equally for producer and consumer
to have it's evaporated product dis
credited. r#s.

SAVING GRAIN FOR FOWLS.

The rakings of wheat, oats and
rye are not often worth thrashing,
at least to mix with the good grain.
As good plan as any is to put these
by themselves and feed in the straw
to fowls. Feed it in a clean place,
and the exercise ofscratching among
the straw. for scattering grain will
keep the fowls healthy. En- whole
grain hens gorge themselves by eat
ing too rapidly. This may be u
good way to fatten them but it is
not best for the egg production.

PEKIN DUCKS AND WATER.

Unlike most kinds of ducks, the
Pekin variety is injured by too free
indulgence in water, Many are
killed outright, or SO famed with
rheumatism as to be worthless, from
inattention to this popularity. In
fact, though ducks like water, yet
too much cold water will harm any
kind when young and tender. Draw
ing water directly from a cold well
for them to battle in is always harm
full. They will thrive better when
small with only plenty of water to
drink.
UTILIZING refuse POTATOES.
Small unripe potatoes and potato
parings are often a nuisance to the
housewife. They are often given to
the COWS, but r poor feed for milk.
In fact a raw potato is poor food for
anything. If cooked they make a
very fair Summer food for pigs, and
with the addition of a little meal
will fattenthem rapidly. The potato
parings are much better than the
small potatoes. There is more of
the nutriment of the potato than in
the centre.
BARTLETT PEARS.
The Bartlett is a variety of pears
especially liable to overbear, and an
overloaded tree is pretty sure to
blight. Go over it and select all the
inferior specimens, picking them off,
throwing the poorest to the pigs,
and putting a few of the hardest
in a dark room in a warm place
where they will ripen into fairly good
eating. The remainder will be
enough better to pay, but all should
be gathered before ripening. The
color is much improved by ripening
in a dark drawer in a warm room.
SEEDING GRASS WITHOUT GRAIN.
Wherever Winter grain is sown it
is a common practice of farmers to
SOW grass (not clover) seed in the fall.
and let both grow together. Good
success in seeding with timothy,
redtop and orchard grass is obtained
in this way. But if winter grain is
not to be grown the sooner the grass
seed is sown after the seed bed is
prepared the better. There is no
necessity of waiting until the usual
time for sowing Winter grain. All
the growth the grass makes in the
Fall is so much preparation to enable
it to endure Winter freezing without

PASTURE IN

With trees and grass both drawing
on the soil the grass cannot make the
richest feed. The shade of the trees
prevents the full development Of the
naturally rich juices in the grass,
and if COWS fill themselves on this
innutritious food they will need a
grain ration to keep up the flow of
milk.

A SECRET MARRIAGE.
Elopement of a Young Couple Who Are Clan
destinely Made Man and Wife.

Secret marriages, like murder. generally will
out Over month ago there was a rumor that
well-known society couple had gone to a neigh
boring town and married. The report was
really true, though the facts have been kept
very quiet and even the near relatives of the
parties have not been aware of the occurrence.
The young gentleman and lady who were mar
ried are Mr.. Will Johnston son of E. P. John
ston of the firm of Johnston & Bennett, and
Miss Fannie E. Wood, daughter of Marshal
Wood. The wedding occurred at Danville on
Aug 20. That morning Miss Wood came down
ment was met by Mr.. Johnston, and
they boarded the o'clock train for Danville
Mr. Johnston Is. not of age. but Mr.. McClel-
land, clerk of Hendricks co unity, supposed by
his looks that he was, and the license was grant
ed. The first barrier removed, the two went to
the residence of Rev. j. Fl. Hull. pastor Of the
NJ. E. Church of DaEviile. and had the marriage
ceremony performed They returned home on
the o'clock train, and Mrs. Johnston took a
street car for her home, and Mr.. Johnston went
to his fathers store, where is employed His
father inquired why he had been absent all morn
ing. and Mr.. Johnston gave as ap excuse that be
had been fishing. The elder Johnston heard rll-
mors OF his sons marriage week afterwards
frming the report, but kept the news to him
self. Both the young gentleman and lady are
highly connected, and there was no objection on
the part of their parents to the union except that
they thought neither was old enough The
young people have used every means to keep the
marriage a secret, and each has been living at
home since the occurrence.

NO MORE DELAYS.
The Work on the New Onion Depot To Be
Pushed as Rapidly as Possible.

Al 1.-THE meeting yesterday, Of the presidents and
general managers of the roads which compose
the Union Railway Company, the new Union
Depot enterprise was placed well upon its feet
as President ingalls, puts it. The executive
committee have the money with which to build
the depot, the ground upon which to erect it,
and orders have been given to 60 ahead with the
Improvement. Manager McCrea says the plans
for the new structure are all agreed upon; that
they have the money to proceed to make the
improvements with and that there will be no
more delay. Vice president Mccullough says
the whole matter is now in the hands of the ex-
ecutive committee-Messrs McKeen, ingalls,, Nc
Crea' and Malott-and that they have authority to
push the proposed improvement TO completion
without even calling the presidents again to-
gether to confer about the matter. He expects
to hold the next annual meeting IN the most
complete, the most commodious and the hand
soonest of depots in the United States.
Mr.. Malott says the specifications are now be.
ing printed, and as soon as they come to hand he
will advertise for bids to remove the old build
ings now on the grounds and for the erection of
the new depot. If the weather should be favor
able he hopes to get the old buildings off of the
ground and the foundation IN before the snow
flies. and then be ready in the early spring to
push the work on the depot proper and the
sheds. The improvements on the original plan
make the cost of the structure fully 800 900 more
than at first contemplated. By the new plans
the sheds will be $50 feet long and 200 feet wide
The general waiting-room will be AZ feet wide
by 140 feet long, and the various other rooms of
the same large proportions. The revised plans
have greatly improved the building in nearly
every respect
Regarding the tunnel and yiaduct questions,
Mr.. McCrea said the Union Railway Company
were ready to do what was right in the matter
So far as the tunnel was concerned, the citizens
proposed to the Union Railway Company that
they would raise $l5, 900 if the company would
give like amount. This the company were
ready to do AS to the viaduct, he thought
thirty feet an ample width, but if the city au-
thorities make it wider, the Union Railway
Company will carry out their wishes The
Union Railway Company, he said, had now
started to build depot, and the tunnel and via
duct questions were to them of secondary con-
sideration. The company had from the begin
ming, tried to treat the city and the property
holders fairly, and proposed to continue so to do
When the new depot is completed there will not
be piece of property within five squares of the
depot that will not, he said, be worth more than
il now is
