Devoured by Hogs.

MOUNT STERLING, ILL.,, Oct. 90
Mrs. Greenwell, widow aged 20, left
her home few days ago to spend the
day with the family of Mr.. McWil-
liams, distant about three-fourths of
mile. She did not return that night,
but nothing strange was thought of it.
AS she was still missing the next day,
search was made for her, and, after a
time, the bones and pieces of bloody
flesh were found surrounded by a
drove of hogs, that were fighting over
the remains, which were identified by
scraps of clothing as those Of Mrs.
Greenwell. 1t is supposed she tainted,
and that the hogs attacked her before
she regained consciousness.

Rain From a CIoudless Sky.

KINGSTON, Ca, Oct. 20.-A strange
phenomenon has occurred about five
miles northeast of Cassville, the old
county site of this county. 1t has been
raining there for about three weeks
every evening about five O'Clock, ap-
parently from a cloudless sky. The
rainfall covers an area Of about twenty
feet square. Rev. James England, well
known all over the State, witnessed
this and will vouch for its truth. The
first known of it was Geo. Gibbons
and his daughter were walking out
and walked into it before they knewit

Swapping Wives.

GREENSBORO, Ga, Oct. 20.-Therc
died near WOodville to-day ON old ne
gro woman named Betsy GULL, who
had been sold since emancipation. Liv-
ing upon plantation in that neigh
borhood not many years ago were two
negro men. Both had wives, but the
current Of their domestic lives did not
move smoothly. They got together
one day and began discussing their re-
lative conditions, when they came to
the conclusion that a swap of wives
might be beneficial. This they did,
the negro man who exchanged for
Betsy paying $40 and an old jack saw
as boot. The two wives changed their
places of abode and lived happy ever
afterwards, both raising large families
They died off one by one until Eetsy,
the last of the four original parties to
the contract, passed away. There has
been number Of such trades in wives
between negroes since the war.

Strikers and Pinkerton Men Fight
The Strike Ends In BlOodshcd.

The Strike Ends In Bloodshcd.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 20-Contrary to
general expectation the strike hich
was yesterday supposed to be at an
end, resulted in a conflict wherein the
strikers and Pinkertons men, who
were leaving the packers in charge of
non union men who had concluded to
go out when compromise was effect
ed with the knights. The strikers ap-
peared at the packeries and were ready
to go to work, but they were informed
that work would not begin until next
day. The strikers retired and as Pink.
erton's men, some 800 in number left
the packeries they were jeered and
hooted and they claim fired into by
the strikers. The Pinkcrton men be-
gan shooting and wounded a man
named Begley who has since died.
Begley was leading his horse through
the streets at the time and was not
connected with the strikers. Upon
arriving at the station the police ar
rested the Pinkerton men for murder.
William Pinkerton requested all who
had done any shooting to step forward
when six of the men advanced few
PAGES. The balance were released and
The six held for examination. There
is intense excitement over the shoot
ing and fears are entertained that the
fracus will interfere with the resump-
tion Of work at The packeries 50 much
desired by all. The Pinkerton men
claim that they have been assaulted
jeered and insulted and abused in va
rious ways for no greater crime than
protecting and defending the property
of the packers from destruction by an
infuriated mob, and that they bore it
all without resistance until the strik-
ers began shooting at them.

Geese are profitable or improbable &C
cording to the manner in which they are
kept. If given the use Of a large pond
on which they can enjoy themselves, and
dive down in search of minnows and tad
poles, they can supply themselves with
all the animal food they require. They
should also have plenty Of grass. When
the geese are kept on abandoned fields,
and have access TO ponds, they are prof
table; but if they are to be fed alto
gcther, they will be kept at a loss. They
often do damage to pastures, and destroy
and waste much that they should not dis
turb. The best breeds are the Toulouse
and Embden, the latter being entirely
white in color, thus rendering their
feathers more valuable. A cross OF the
Toulouse gandcr on the Emblem goose
makes the largest produce for market.
A goose will lay from twenty to forty
eggs, but seldom matches more than one
brood. The goslings should not be al
lowed near the water until fully feath-
cred, as dampness is injurious to them,
the down being no protection. They
should be fed for the first six Or eight
weeks, on mixed diet, and may then
be left to their parents altogether. Old
geese make the best breeders, but only
the young ones arc marketed Eggs from
geese under two years old do not hatch
well.

Improving Sandy Soils.

Sandy soils contain at least eighty per
cent. of silicious sand. They are OK
trcmely porous and, of course, easily
permeable by air, water and the roots of
plants. The color in such soils when not
white varies from yellow to brown and
red, according to the quantity of oxide
of iron that they contain. In fact, oxide
of iron produces these colors in all kinds
of soils, excepting the chalks and black
molds A red sandy soil is likely to be
fertile from the fact that oxide of iron
has the power of retaining phosploric
acid. A sand soil when devoid of lime,
iron, and alumina and humus is bar
rem, for 1t is then pure sand, which is
nothing but small slick and quartz ston.
There are, however, some sand soils cob
sisting of over ninety-four per cent slick
with only two per cent. of clay and one
each of humus, phosphoric acid and lime,
and yet these deficient soils arc very pro-
ductive when sown with legumes like
clover and lucern. Little or no nitrogen
exists in such soils, and yet the legumes
that grow there abound in nitrogen. This
fact has been adduced as evidence in IA
vor of the theory that plants derive much
of their nitrogen in some wsy direct from
the atmosphere. A barren sand can be
made fertile by the application to it OF
lined muck, clay, and mari, and after.
ward the fertility could be kept up for a
long time by green manuring.

Onions,

Aside from the potato crop the onion
crop is the most important vegetable
crop grown, and under proper culture is
an exceedingly profitable crop. They
yield from 800 to 500 bushels per acre,
according to the nature of the soil and
culture, and rarely sell for less than so
cents per bushel, while they not unfrc-
qucntly are worth as high one dollar
The soil must be rich and thoroughly
and deeply pulverized. A very rich,
loamy soil is the best. Manure very
heavily with well rotted manure. The
soil cannot be made too rich. 1t is use,
less to try to grow onions on poor soil
or in shiftless manner. A few days,
neglect when the weeds are growing rap
idly, or a weeks delay in sowing after
the ground is in suitable condition il
the spring, will often ruin the crop.
There isno crop in which thorough culture
will bring larger returns. A top dressinG
of wood ashes applied after the second
wedding will be found to greatly i'm
rove the crop.

FOR TIE FARM AND HONE.
weaving Calves,

A correspondent of the National Stock
nan, upon the question of feeding calves,
remarks: 81 prefer weaving when two
weeks old, while some think it best to
wean at the early ago of one day. By
the time the calf is two weeks old it has
commenced to thrive, has put on some
flesh, and is verymuch more able to stand
The strain on its young system. l have
had the best success learning them to
drink by MT giving them anything the
FIRST regular time of feeding, By the Sec
ond their appctitcs are sharpened and
their thirst increased, so that they will
drink out of the bucket without giving
them tho finger. 1t is bad habit to
learn them to drink by placing the finger
in the mouth, and always gives the one
trouble who practices it, The calf should
be pcnned in stable where the COW can
neither sec nor hear it. Then it will soon
become resigned in its new quarters and
thrive from the very start"

Hatch Your Chicks EARLY.

The advantages of Matching chicks carly
cannot be overcstimated. Chicks that
are Matched late bring late prices, and
chicks that come out of the shell this
month, and get in market as broilers,
bring as high prices as grown fowls.
The objections urged against early
chicksare that they give too much trouble,
and those Matched late have the privilege
of grass runs, and take partial care of
themselves. And SO they do. They are
raised much more easily than those
Matched this month, but our readers
should remember that it is not the chicks
that bring the best prices, but the
trouble. Whenever chicks are raised
without effort the cost is, of course,
small item, but the time is then occupied
by hundreds who also prefer to perform
as little labor as possible, and the consc-
quence is that chicks are thrust on the
market by thousands, only to dcpress the
market, and cause tho oft-repeated as
scrtion that poultry does not pay But
early chicks do pay, however, but they
pay only for that which is expended and
bestowed upon them by the attendant.
1t is claimed, again, that labor is labor,
and may as well be expended in one di-
rection as another, without devoting it to
early chicks. That is true, but unem-
ploysd labor is waste, and if, in win
tor, q large number of chicks can be
grown for market, there will be saving
of wasted labor, and the wages will be
trebed on account of the better prices
demanded for labor in that shape.
Early chicks are often worth, in April,
rs much as eighty cents pound, and
they arc sold when about one pound-and
a-quartcr in weight 1t requires no fig
ures to show that aside from the care the
actual cost of food is a small item. No
doubt, large number or eggs may be
required for the purpose Of Matching a
fair percentage of chicks, but this item
of loss may also be added without fear Of
diminishing the proportion Of profit to be
procured when the chicks arc marketed.
Early chicks are always salablc, and il
costs more to raise chicks to the weight
of two pounds at twenty-five cents Q
pound in price than it does to raise ont
to pound, and with double the market
price. The real difference, as is plainly
apparent, is four times as much as the
Other --RUral Tome.

The WOOd-pile,

1t is sign of unthrift, of household
discomfort, of bad management general
ly, to have the wood-shed empty. Ii
means plenty of fault-finding and uu-
necessary worry and hard work in the
summer time wheh ehecrfulRss and
smooth management are more to be desir-
ed than at any other time. Then be sure
and fill up the wood-shed il you would
have peace and goodwill reigning around
your hearth-stone when the days OF sow

come And the shed sheuI- not only be
filled with wood, but with the isAt kind
of wood. 1t will only add to the IN
pleasantness of the situation if there is
nothing but an accumulation of great,
unwieldy, unsplitable knsr's that the
housewife can hardly lift, much less use
in the stove. Such unusaole material
is only mockery and a source Of exas-
peration. Neither is there much advan-
tage gained in storing up wood that is
only half prepared for use. Every farm
er, says the PlOughman, should look ahead
at least one year to secure wood in the
best condition to burn; that which is to
be used next winter should be prepared
this winter. If it was cut, as it should
have been, last autumn, it will be in
readiness to draw home the first Shedding ;
when at home, every spare hour should
be devoted to preparing it for the stove.
To have wood in the best condition to
burn, it should be sawed and split before
the first of March; then it will have the
benefit of the drying winds of carly
spring, and, if properly piled up. will be
in good condition to house before worm
weather commences. Those who have
