Panic In a Tent.
While Sundayschool services were being
he'd in small framo church, five miles
south Of Columbia City, Ind, lightning struck
the spre and coursed down through the oof, -,
striking and instantly killing two girls, both
ngel seventeen, who were sitting together in
the c,nter Of their Class. The other ten
children In tho class were badly stunned, but
not seriously injured. Tho names of the
children were M Try Iockemeier and Agnes
Frever. Beyond small hole i'm the roof and
plaster, the church was not in jured.
At Hartford City, the Christian tent in
which Elder Aspy has been holding meetings,
was entirely demolished, and a panic was
caused among the audience attending the
services. The largo center po!e OF the tent
fell in the midst Of terrif ID pee; ;le and the
heavy canvas enveloped them. Above the
roar Of tho elements could he heard shrieks
from the w ,men and children. Some of the

canvas and commenced the work Of rescuing.

the plants, while the garden plow and
cultivator cnn be used in cleaning out be-
tween. And the cultivation should bc re-
peatcd sufficiently often to keep the soil
fine and mellow.
Another advantage in keeping the soil
in good tilth during the growth of the
plants, and that is that it will be in
much better condition for the crops that
are to follow. With the earlier crops of
lettuce, radishcs, peas and spinach, plants
of later varieties can be grown, either by
sowing the seed where the plants arc to
grow, or setting the plants, the finishing
cultivation of the one can be made to an
swer as the first of the latter crop, while
the soil is kept occupied all through the
season with a growing crop and both the
labor of preparation and cultivation Is

farmer. In the first place, grain can he

the twinc were furnished free. We cut
our grain with side delivery, self rake

down through the field and take about
eight rows Mt time, throwing the gavcls

hind that, topping out the first from the

long as you like it. Stacking in this way
makes it handy to pitch to the thrcshcr.
In threshing, larger table than ordina-
trily is used, and table tender stands in
the place of the band cutter. With II

loose grain to tho feeder. No more men

POTATO rot,

The unusually frequent and heavy rains
this season, in large portions of the
country, have been followed, as was
expected, with an extensive prevail

BILE, provided the soil is dry enough for
them to come up clean. and without earth
adhcring To them. Put them i'm cool
place, where moderate air currents may
pass up through them. We have for
years used a cool apartment in barn,
with a Slated floor next above the base
ment. The air can pass up from below.
In such nn apartment they may he de-
posted three or four feet in thickness. II
the potatoes were clean when placed
there, they have never rottcd TO any cX-
tent afterward, although nearly one half
of portions of the crop had to bc rejected
and left in the field when they were
dug.
In the absence of such an apartment,
different substitutes may be adopted.
They may be piled in moderate heaps in
the fields, il stratum Of rails anil coarse
brush can be provided for the heaps to
rest on, So that the mir may pass under
for ventilation. The loose straw with
which they are covered, to exclude sun
light, should be about half n foot thick,
not more, and bc secured from blowing
off by loose brush. They may thus rc-
main several weeks.
II dug when the soil is wet and all
heres tn them, and they arc then put in
heaps, without sufficient ventilation, they
will be seen to continue rotting, or if
placed in cellars or any close apartments.
In large boxes with Slated bottoms,
placed on the north side of barn, and
raised IL foot or more from the ground,
they may be kept cool and dry till No

to them, dashinc cold water occasionally
ON them will tend to kept them cool, AMI
cleanse them, provided they have enough
ventilation to dry soon.

or otherwise, which, however efficient,
has not been reduced sufficiently To Il

HARDNESS AND EGG Production.


In selecting a breed, but few seem to

ally to secure 'thc best laying breed, :"
without regard to conditions. 1t may bc
that the best laying breed may fail en-
itirely, owing Ia II slight fault i'm the con
struction of the poultry-h house, and it
may happen that some dcSpiscd breed

ease is one of the great drawbacks to the
poultry business, and the breed that i,
hardy, and GEMS To endure tn" climate

number of eggs and yield the larger
profit. But these conditions vary accord

fowl is worth n whole flock Of birds that
are always drropy or non productive, no
matter what the breed may lie, and it is
important that, when making Il selection,
the hardness of the breed be carefully
considered.
