Y, running down grade, at terrific
speed. A freight train stood on the side
track 1t is supposed that TIE locomotive
of the passenger train broke the frog between
the main track and the switch. The
smoker and baggage car passed safely, but
the day coach behind them left the track
and plunged into the caboose of the
freight train. The sides were stripped
from both car and ca.boose- Passengers
were thrown from their seats and many re-
ceived slight injuries. They pod red from the
cars that escaped damage and soon removed
the dead and dying from the wreck
Miss Abbott, offSheffield, Ill, was so badly
injured that she died in short time With
her were Mrs. 'Bottey, injured internally,

Killed by an Electric Shock.
Isaac Morton, colored emplote of the
New York Central railroad, was killed by
electricity, at Buffalo, on Sunday morning.
Robert Taylor was driving delivery wagon,
and the horse suddenly fell to the
pavement. Taylor applied the whip and re-
ceived electric shock which made him I'M

senses, and Morton, who was a large,
powerful man. then took hold of the horse,
supposing it was alive, but he did so an un-
earthly Shrek rent the air and he fell,
dying on the animal Policemen
Haley and Hennessy ran to the
spot. They concluded that it of
electric shock and sent for the Emergency
Hospital doctors. Meanwhile they dragged
Morton frcm the horse, receiving slight
shocks, and took him to a drug store.
The doctors think that Morton received the
shock through the horse, for both hands
were burned, Indicating that the circuit
had passed through his body in that
way. 1t was found that a tele-
phone wire, broken by the weight of wet
snow, had crossed a Brush electric light
wire and had fallen to the pavement
The horse coming in contact with
it, received the fatal shock. Morton's

A Unique Number.

The Prairie Farmer of March 3rd
is almost entirely devoted to Farm
Renting and is styled by the publishers
the EARN Renting Number This
number, which can be obtained, for 5
cents BY addressing the Prairie Farmer
Publishing Co.. Chicago, would prove
most valuable toevery farm owner and
renter. 1t contains more information
on the subject Of farm leasing together
with the many forms for leases than
any volume that can be purchased for
many time the money. Theipbulishers
offered prizes for the best essays on the
subject, and 26 valuable papers were
received, and the number in question
is made up principally Of the essays
from able pens on the subject OF. Farm
Renting. The same number contains
strong article advising farmers to go
to Colorado to raise barly to supply the
Denver brewers. The writer adduces
many facts to show that Colorado
grows the best barley in the world.
Admitting all the points to be true, if
Colorado were turned into one vast
barley field for the use Of breweries
alone. all the silver Of her mines would
scarcely suffice to support the expense
of the aims houses; asylums, jails and
peuitentiaries required to take care of
the products of the beer. The Prairae
Farmer ought to. be in better business
than loaniug its influence to the brewers
OF Colorado.

EnSilage.

Ensilage of maize is simply cheap,
easy and effectual method of preserv
lug and storing corn fodder for future
use, and, its friends claim, great i'm

practiced be ore. There will be moth.
ing taken out of the silo which has not
first been put in, the chemical changes
undergone while there making it moro
available, and consequently more val
liable for feeding purposes than before
Corn must arrive at certain state Of
maturity before cutting, if the best en-
siage is to be produced. At first it
was supposed that the silo must be
filed at once and Immediately covered
and weighted, which necessiteted a
large force of men and teams, and was
attended with much more expense.
Now, the system of filling is generally
adopted, requiring less help and attend
ed with much less expense. The con-
tents begin to be damaged upon the top
If few inches are put on each day !;
the process could be carried on for an
indefinite length of time and no loss
could occur; the work can stop at any
time for two or three days with no per.
ceptible loss. BY this method good
degree of heat is developed, the con-
tents are settling all the time, and the
silo will hold great deal more than
when filled at once and closed, and it is
thought the ensilage is much better.
Some consider three tons of ensilage
equal to one ton of English hay For
feeding purposes. When 20 tens of
corn are raised upon an acre it would
be an equivalent OF s tons of hay,
which would keep three times the num-
ber Of animals that the hay growing
upon the same land would feed

The Legislative Ear,

AT a late meeting of Western
stock breeders association United
States Senator opened his address by
saying that "The legislator listens to
the farmer when he calls loud enough"
True enough-,hough it sometimes
takes wonderfully loud call to bring
a satisfactory reply. The trouble
with the farmer getting all he needs
is that his call is frequently weak and
-half-hearted. A little band here and
there will formulate a demand for
something, and then, amid the indffer-
ence and not infrequently the sneers of
ten times, their number of other farm
ers who ought to be with them, they
adjourn convinced in advance that the
itfuence of what they have done is
handicapped for effectiveness from the
start This is the history of many
and many an effort to right existing
wrongs and take advanced ground in
industrial progress. But farmers are
ca ling louder than they used to, and
are being more clearly heard If the
call is cloud enough" the answer will
come every time.-Er.

the same on about 20 acres of wheat
and oats land, and got fair stand Of
clover. The second year there was a
fne bloom, and had an extra crop OF
honey 300 pounds of extracted
honey from 7 colonies,. spring count,
besides hiving good swarms cast from
them, / cut and threshed about 4
acres of the best of it, and received 6
bushels of nice, clean seed as result.

better, as fertilizer, than the common
red clover, for three years ago I sowed, !,
on shares, a field (wheat field) belong
ing to another person, and the result
was a good stand Of clover which was
pastured the second season, and fur
uished a fine lot of grazing, too, con-
sidering that the land was thin and
"tried." 8
The next spring (last Year, this field
was cultivated in corn, and although a
comparatively dry season, it produced
more corn and fodder than it had in
one season for Is years.
Another thing that have noticed
is, that horses inclined to rouge will
always go to the field that has Alsike
clover, thereby demonstrating their
appreciation for this clover to other
grasses I have none sown at present,
nor any land to sow on, but if some
seedmen will send to me lot of

will distribute them to farmers.

permanent one, No new venture in
farming will pay much but a loss if
taken up one year and dropped the
next because it didn't pay at the start
better than any thing else. There is
always more or less expense attending
change, and it requires practice to
manage the new crop in thu most econ.
omical way. The summer hog crop we
have no doubt whatever would pay we'll

Selecting the Brood Sow.

To be a good brood SOW, the first
requisite is good form, and the sow
that approximates the more nearly in
form to parallelopiped is. other things
being equal, likely to prove the best
breeder. We want our boar to be
nearly round IN the barrel, but we
must select the SOW that is deep
Through the side, with large heart
girth, finely and properly developed
hind quarters, that parturition may be
accomplished without danger to the
mother. No aged sow that has proved
herself good breeder and sucker
should be disposed Of to make room for
young and untired sows, as long as she
will raise large littcrs Of good pigs.
We once saw SOW eleven years old
thai was still the favored brood SOW in
celebrated herd OF Poland -Chinas.
As long as sow breeds well she is
preferable to any young sow. By
breeding to young and immature sows
from year to year we will soon injure
our herds, as each succeeding gener-
alton will be smaller and less hardy
than the preceding.
Another poitn in selecting brood
SOW must not be overlooked, and that
is her milk producing powers. Many
otherwise fine sows have proved fail
u,e ss breeders from their failure to
produce sufficient milk for theiI brood.
DR. Miles in his experiments found
that pigs about three weeks old ate 81
pounds each of new milk day, and
that the next week they consumed
nearly I pounds Of milk day each.
From this we find that litter OF ten
pigs one month old will consume more
than thirty quarts of new milk in
one day, or more than nine-tenths of
our cows will yield in the same time.
What drain this must be upon the
sow And unless she is a bountiful
milker, or the pigs are principally y
raised upon the milk of the cow, you
will have a very inferior lot of pigs at
weaving time. While we advocate
learning the youngsters to eat when
some three weeks old, we must insist
on breeding only from sows that have
either proved themselves to be good
mixers or are descended from good
milking families, for there are milking
strains of swine that are as pronounced
as the best family of Jerseys or Hols-
teins.
Constitution and an early develop
ing instinct Gf we may use that word
must not be overlooked in making
your selection of breeders. A sow
with like defect, and slow matur-
ing SOW will be the mother of equally
slow maturing pigs. Pigs, as rule,
take their form from their sire, their
feeding qualities from their dam.

Shall it be Pigs or HogsP
OF all the many varieties of dome.

OF all the many varieties Of domestic
animals found upon the farm the pig
alone is bred for but one purpose, and
if the breeder or feeder expects to
handle it at profit, during these
times of close margins in all farm
produce, he must speedily answer the
question heading this article.
Twenty years ago it was not
thought possible to feed hog out
before he was from one to two years
old, and the feeding of pigs from six
to nine months Old would have been
considered the height of folly and
wastefulness. 1t might have been
with the stock of hogs in the country
at that time, but with our many breeds
of quick developing swine of to-day it
is not only possible but practicable to
put our spring pigs upon the October
and November markets at profit.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moments when surrender becomes in
evltable. In many instances the inherent
strength Of the body sufices to enable II to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there IS little or no help. In
other cases little aid TO the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years Of useful iife.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give
