p SHERIFF HAyIRn informed us yes
terday that his brother, John, ar
rived in Centerville Sunday from
Squaw creek, and said that the
fate of Mrs. Obe Ireton was still
yelled in mystery when he lef, there.
The neighbors have been untiring in
their search. Mrs. Iretons illness
was caused by sunstroke last sum-

at times she was deranged. A few
weeks ago she disappeared mvsterl-
ously, but returned, aud on reaching
home fell in a faint from sheer ex
haustion.

day evening, that Mrs. Obe lreton is
'os'. o., Saturday morning, while
the family were at breaAr--4 bafo,e
daylight, she leaped out through a
window aud disappeared in the dark
LESS. Search was immediately insti-
tuted, but when Mr.. Havird left no
trace had been found OF her. Some
believe she committed suicide by
jumping into the river. She has re-
sided on Squaw creek three years,
during winch time she has been in
very poor health, and, at times, de
ranged in consequence. Mr.. Havirc
also informs us that Mrs. Frank Da.
Wis, living on Squaw creek, shot her
self in the instep, causing a severe
wound. She went out to shoot I
coyote, and while carrying a cooked
revolver in her hand it went off.

Care of Cattle.

There is no economy in keeping cattle
IN the pasture now; even where there is
considerable grass it has been frostbit-
ten, and has lost its nutritive power. 1t
may help to fill up, ;" as the farmer said
who mixed sawdust with his meal for
his iattening hogs, but it does not assist
much in making either flesh or milk.
In the moving fields there is not likely
to be any more grass now than will be
needed to keep the roots from winter
killing, and all that is fed off this month
II likely to come out OF next years hay
crop. Fodder corn, millet and green
oats are so easily grown that farmer
has no excuse for be ng short of forage
to winter his stock, if they are put in
the barn as soon as cold weather begins.
n little exercise each day in yard where
the sun can shine and the wind cannot
blow upon them may be beneficial to
them, but they are better off and can be
kept much cheaper under cover than
they can when exposed to cold winds
and storms. This is as true of young
animals as of milch cows.
Crowd all the grain for the fattening
stock that they can be made to eat, and
keep close watch TO see whether they
aIe gaining flesh fast enough TO pay for
1t or not. Many farmers kill their fat
cattle and swine Just when they are
making the greatest number of pounds
of neat for the bushel of grain, partly
because the gam does not show as
plainly after the animal is pretty well
fattened, aud partly because the amount
OF grain eaten grows larger as the animal
in-reases and the cooler weather comes
on. If such farmers could have scales
upon which they could weigh their ami
mals each week, they could easily ascer-
tain whether the pounds gained were
more than paying for the grain or not.
OF course other considerations may
make early slaughtering desirable, such
as the prospect Of the meat being lower
in price later in the season, when stock
is brought forward from the West. or if
the meat is for home use, a dislike to
have it too fat. And a low price for
tallow may make a very fat beeye
sell comparatively lower than one mod
erately fat Of these things the farmer
can Judge for himself, but he must also
remember that a poorly fattened OK will
shrink forty-fve TO fifty per cent. from
~ live weight, and a very fat one
thirty-fye per cent. or less, so that every
pound Of gain made now is nearly SC
many pounds of merchantable beef
There are not many more pounds of ola
in hog that weighs 400 pounds wher
very fat than there was in the same ami

Apoplexy in Swine.

ApopleXy is usually a disease of fat
hogs, although an animal that has long
been thin or suffering from excessive
irritation of the intestinal canal would
also be predisposed to it. 1t must be
understood that the process of fattenino
an animal in a few weeks destroys the
equilibrium of the system, and in one
sense the fatness is in itsef disease. The
storing up of fat in the animal economy
is always at the expense of muscular de.
velopment The muscles become weak
and tiabby. All the blood vessels of the
system are surrounded by strong,
tough, muscular coat, that in state of
perfect health will resist any force that
the hearts action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process weak
ems these fibers; q sudden or unusual
strain ruptures one in the brain, and we
call it apoplexy. 1t is not as common
IN the hog as one would expect, but oc-
ours so often that the breeder should
understand it and know the right thing
to do. 1t is impossible to foresee when
this is going to occur. If the rupture Is
a very small one, when the blood is
oozing out in tiny drops, the hog will
sometimes be found lying insensible and
Dreathlng heavily. No effort Will arouse
1t. 1t is more usual to find a big, fat
hog lying dead, with no external marks
or signs of the cause of death. Cut
open the skull carefully, and clot of
blood of greater or less exteut will be
found insid. If alive, however, tie
stout cord above the knee, and with
stick take a twist IN the cord, until on
the inner side of the leg below the knee
the braehial brain can be felt. Open it
with sharp pointed knife, and if the
blood will run take pint and half or
a quart Don't guess at it. An ounce
of blood spread over the ground or on
the floor has been mistaken for a pint.
If the bleeding is to do any good there
must be considerable taken. If the
broken vein is small one, and the case
is observed soon after it occurred, the
animal may be saved. If it partially
revives it will be proper to evacuate the
bowels. A large stock syringe would be
valuable here TO throw up a quart of
warm water In most cases, however,
the owner will have a chance to sell the
animal for soap fat. -NeaO York. Herald.

FacIal Exnresslons Of Morknru.

A mans occupation or condition has q
good deal to do with making his facial
expression. Intellectual pursuits, like
studies or the scholarly professions, when
coupled with temporal and moral habits
Of life, brighten the face and give a per-
son superior look. Magnanimity Of
nature, or love of studies and arts, will
make bright, glad face; but, contrary
to this, man may have face that does
not please anybody, because Of love Of
self to the exclusion Of all others, not
withstanding his leaning and worldly
shrewdness. Soldiers get a hard, severe
look, overworked laborers constantly look
tired, reporters look inquisitive, maihe.
maticians look studious, Judges become
grave, even when oil the bench; the
man who has had domestic trouble looks
all broken up.
An example of the ludicrous side of
this subject is TO see third class lawyer
stalking around police court looking
wise as an owl. Tho business makes the
face, ! say. There's the butchers face,
the saloon-keeper's face, the ministerial
face, tho lawyers face, the doctors face,
the hoodlum's face, all so distinct each
from the other and singly, that ] seldom
fail to recognize those cnllings showing
through the faces. And what city boy
cannot recognize a genuine farmer on
the street as a farmer the moment he
sees him2-Hera'd IF Health.

Cannibal Two-winged Flies.

The larvae of certain insects are bene-
ticial to man, because of their habit of
feeding upon the bodies of, and the eby
causing the death of their hosts. OF
these beneficial cannibals there are two
classes, one Of which deposits its eggs in
or upon the body Of its victim, where it
matches, and the larva feeds upon the
living tissues of its victim the other
catches its prey and devours it piece
meal, or sucks its juices out and casts
the more solid portion aside.
To this latter class belong the Larvae of
certain two winged flies of the Surplus
family. The adult flies closely resemble
bees in their color, and indeed, in some
parts of the country they are called
''sweat bees" by the boys. Their larvr are
particularly fond of plant-lice, and few
sights are more interesting than to see the
footless maggot carefully cropping about
until within reach of its victim, when it
stretches out its pointed head, pierces
the louse, and, holding it aloft, sucks out
the juices from its plump body and casts
the cal cass to the winds.
A species of these larvp DESTROYS the
apple-root louise; another attacks the
louise found on the apple leaves; others
attack the lice found on various other
plants. The Larvae of Surplus ribesii
have been known to clear the plum tree
of the lice peculiar to it. When the lice
have caused the leaves to curl so as to
prevent the insecticides that may be ap.
piled to the tree from reaching them,
these larvp are particularly useful in
following them into such strongholds
and completely clearing them OUT

Alaska Garnets

1t will be of interest to persons who
are fond of collecting mineral specimens
TO learn says the YOUTHS Compaa ion, that
garnets, of fine size and good color, are
found at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, and that
specimens can be obtained by mail from
that place at very moderate expense
These Fort Wrangel garnets occur in
a tough, gray slate near the mouth of the
Stickeen River, few miles slant from
the Indian village at Wrangel postolfice.
They vary in size from pea to a hens
egg, and with care, can be separated
from lbe slate matriX, in which they lie
Hike plums in a pudding, unbroken and
showing their peculiar polyhedral form
of crystalization quite perfect. Many of
these garnets display a very considerable
depth of a rich color, approaching the
ruby, and are hence oil some value as
precious stones. In quantity they ap-
pear to be ineXhaustible. At the village
store the writer procured half dozen of
good size, embedded in fragment of
the slate in which they occur along
with dozen detached ones of medium
size, though not all quite perfect, for the
small sum of sixty cents.

When Cole, a well-known circus pro.

New Orleans, three dun ring horses
that he had owned for years went With
the others by mistake. Mr.. Cole at once
bought them back, saying he would
never consent to have the horses become
the property of any one who would
make them work, and he had decided
to put them to a painless death. He
proposed bleeding them to death, but
w. b. Leonard, liveryman, suggested
that the use Of chloroform would be a
ha'ter and less painful mode. This was
ally decided upon, aud a reliable man
procured, who was TO have performed
the operation. They were all collected

Leonard, the riders and the clowns, the
ringmaster, the tumblers. and the leap
ers, and the three pet duns. Calling the
little mare by name, he told her to kiss
them alLsood-by. The intelligent ami.
mai, stretching forward her head, kissed
each one. This was more than they
could stand, and the sacrifice was put

who would assume charge of them, un-

to keep them in good order until death
