lifting a Steamboat by Natural Gas.

A somewhat remarkable thing took
place in the river just below Evansville,
steamer Robert B. Carson collapsed
and sank in 40 feet Of water, together
with 30 head of cattle confined on the
lower deck. On Saturday morning, to
the surprise Of one OF the harbor boats,
the pilot house and hurricane deck Of
the Carson suddenly appeared above
the water. When a crew was sent
down the steamer was floating along,
upheld by some mysterious agency.
This was subsequently traced to the
cattle themselves, whose bodies had be-
come inflated by gases generated in the
carcasses, and actually had lifted the
steamer to the surface

Every morning the frst-class shoe
stores of this city are visited by GER
tain class Of Russian and Polish Jews
that buy up the old shoes left by pur-
chasers of shoes. The old shoes are
generally purchased at from 20 cents to

between themselves. The Hebrews
then sell the shoes to shoemakers, who,
IN turn, after patching them, sell them
to the dealers in Baxter Street and on
the Bowery. These last sell them TO

Whole Grains Tor Fowls.

The digestion of fowls is strong. es-
pecially If they have an out of door run
whore they can get gravel and sand with
which to grind their food. Whole grain
is generally better for them than any
ground feed. Sometimes screenings
containg weed seeds are ground so that
they may not pass into the manure heap
There is little danger OF this if poultry
eats Them though if the fowl are fed as
they should be, they will refuse to eat
many kinds of weed seed 1t does not
pay TO try to force hens to eat what is
distasteful. Whole grain will give
enough more eggs to pay for its extra
cost.

Broadoastine Commercial Manures

The roots OF all crops permeate every
par of the soil. They reach much
further than the width between the drill
rows. 1t is common to argue from this
that the fertilizer would he equally help
full if broadcasted and cultivated in, as
if it We're drilled with the seed. But
our experience and observation give
much the best results from drilling
The amounts used IN this way are very
small, $50 to 300 pounds per acre. In
contact with the seed grain, each par
ticle Of manure gives the young plant a
vigorous send off that enables il after
wards TO take care of itself. If so little
fertilizer were broadcasted it could not
be distributed so evenly as with good
drill, and many plants would receive no
benefit. Successful broadcasting con-
contrated manures always implies using
much larger amounts than is common.

Fresh sawdust contains Il very small
per cent, if any, of manurial value. If
used for bedding in the stables or sheds,
so that II can take up the liquid por-
lions of the weddings, 1t can be conyerte ii
into tirst-class manure, and one that is
readily incorporated with the soil.
One year | noticed in one of my agri-
cultural papers that considerable bene-
fit would accrue If a handful of fresh
sawdust was applied III each hill, laying
the potato in the sawdust and then COW
ering with soil ! planted twenty hills
in this way, taking especial pains to do
the work carefully, SO that as favorable
conditions as possible might be secured.
1t ranked as the poorest experiment
ever tried, being almost "A complete
failure. Usually l consider it necessary
to make at least ten trials before making
a decision as to whether | considered
the plan good one, but under the con-
dltIons and with the results secured,
did not consider it necessary in this
case. TO haul out and apply fresh saw
dust would be but n small benefit to say
the least in fact, under ordinary cir
cumstances, the benefit derived would
hardly pay for the work of hauling and
scattering. But if first used for bed
ding. so as to become saturated with the
liquid portion of the manure, sawdust
may become valuable fertilizer.
Well rotted sawdust can often be APP
piled in the orchard, around trees, 10
good advantage, but where it is posi-
ble, the best plan is to use as a bedding
first. 1t will, in many localities where
the distance is not too great, pay to
haul sawdust and use in this way, and
especially if good bedding material can
not be found readily upon the farm.

THE STOCK BREEDER.


A breeder Of fine horses communicates
TO Turf. Field, and Farm his plan for
raising fine colts, that is worthy of being
followed:
The brood mare, after foaling, is fed
literally on grain. When the flies are
bad she is sheltered during the heat of
the day and is given the range Of sue
culent pastures at night. When the air
is chilly she is housed at night and is
turned out during the day. Each mare
is put IN box at feeding time so that
she may enjoy her oats in peace. If the
grain is put into troughs ont in the pas
ture there will be serious scrimmages
for it. In every band there are two or
three mares which want to rule, and at
feeding time they rush from trough to
trough and keep everything in a fer
ment. The grain is hastily swallowed
and there is danger Of the colts getting
injured by kicks. The foal viii begin
eating grain when two weeks old, and If
the mother is fed III a quiet place the
baby Will have more inclination as well
as time to nose in the trough itself. At
five months old the foal is weaned and
it goes for the winter into sunny and
sheltered yard used exclusively for
weanlings. At night two colts occupy
one box, and during the day the whole
band enjoys the bright and bracing
weather. Each is fed oats in a separate
box and Is given plenty of good hay,
and gathering in band for exercise
promotes cheerfulness and aids diges
ton. All this requires thought and at
tention, but it pays in the long run.

FEEDING in sheep husbandry is like
any other problem in live stock How
ever good the breed, without good care
and feeding, they must necessarily de-
generate.
COLORADO, New Mexico, and South
ern Utah, have ten millions of sheep.
Seven millions of them are coarse
wooded animals; Colorado has not less
than million and a half of fine and
well bred sheep.
MONTANA has a population Of 130, 000;
cattle, |, 400, coo; horses, 100000; sheep,
1000, 900. Wool produced last year 81
GOO, 600; assessed value of property, So
200, 600. There are 1900, 900 acres I'M
surveyed in the Territory.
THERE is an advantage in feeding
grain or any other rich foods, if done
judiciously, that the analytical tables of
value give no hint Of. The concentrated
foods, if fed with others, will not so
overload the stomach, and greater pro-
portion may therefore 20 10 repair waste,
build mp frame and tissue, or convert
into milk, meat, or wool. Foods Of low
nutritiye value, as, for example. straw.
should be avoided. 1t is not possible
FOR most stock to eat enough of them to
get the nutrition they need for living,
much less for thriving and profit.

the gentleman referred to appeared il

To the Editor of the Times:
DEAR SIR:-On my arrival here OF
nay way home from business trip over
land to Pierre, found that man whom
I had befriended had taken advantage Of
my absence and circulated story te
the effect that I had left the Hills anG
did not intend to return, and as conse-
quence various creditors were left in the
lurch. For the benefit of all I woulc
state that have not left the Hills, and
as far as I at present know, do not in
tend to. If at any future time I see I'll
to leave I shall depart in such a manner
as shall leave me entirely free to return
whenever I choose. Never yet have
left place that I could not return to
and am too old to start in in that
way now. 1t hardly seems likely that I
would leave the Hills and abandon my
property and outstanding accounts
amounting to many times more than my
liabilities when can square myself by
remaining. It probably would have
pleased some people greatly if { had left
as then they would have considered them
selves released from their obligations to
me, but you can rest assured that shall
remain long enough to make them pay
up, that I may properly adjust any bills
that / may owe. Yours &C.,

A Spiritual visitor.

StJlrgis has ghost. A regular old
fashioned, 12-oclock-at-night, white-liy-
cried, uze-panoplyed, luminous-eyed
visitor from the land beyond the grave.
Where he, she or it comes from no one
seems to, know, as up to date no citizen
of the city has had the pleasure OF an in
PRODUCTION to the spook. But laying all
joking aside, we have a thoroughbred
ghost, and it has opened up in business
on the corner Of Main and Second
streets. Several have seen the aaidnight
prowler and have been scared nearly out
OF their senses. Not one man only has
seen it, but dozens of them. Saturday
evening last as driver for G. B. Barnes
was on his way home, about IL o'clock,
he saw white form cross Second street
just in front Of him and glide up and
down the walk alongside the Francis
block. He was within twenty-five feet of
it, but no sound could be heard as it
rapidly moved up and down the walk.
He, thinking it some woman in trouble,
walked towards it when it glided across
the street and disappeared from his
sight. When he told his story Sunday
morning others corroborated his tale.
Several were found who had seen the
same figure. They had seen it glide
across the street and vanish through the
side of a building where no doors or
windows existed. Over twenty persons
were found by the ADVERTISER news
gatherer who had seen this strange
freak and had had their wits scared out
OF them. The ghost has no regular

time for appearing. Some nights It APP
pears at 10 and at other times between /

the corner Of the streets mentioned.
Whose immortal soul It is no one can
guess. Whether It is the spirit Of DR..
Lynch, the murdered physician; Alex.
Fiddler, the gentleman after whom our
celebrated tree is named; the colored
infantryman who killed DR.. Lynch; the
cowboy who was killed in a saloon on
the night Of the raid Of the Twenty fifth
infantry; or Jerry the Bum, who has
come back to his native heath to remind
the citizens of Scoop that things are not
what they were when he was on this ter
restrial ball, no one seems to know.
That the spook is in town reliable men
bear witness, but who the gentleman--or
lady--is remains mystery. Undoubt-
edly before our next issue the secret
will be solved.
