Every CO." kept fer butter will keep

Towards Dairyman, commenting on
the above, says: Yes. that will be the
case, provided enough additional food is
fed the sow and pigs to give them a
healthy and rapid growth. This trying
to get more out Of food than there is in
it is what disappoin5s in the end. If a

absurd proposition he would see that the

skim milk she could give each month,

And if they did not get it they would
either stop growing or die, or do both.

Notes and oraments,


\ wandering hunter in Iowa plugged
and killed $500 Hambletonian tie other
day.
Colorado's wheat yield the present year
leads all the rest. 1t stands twenty-six
bushels as against fifteen-the average
everywhere.
The price paid for the mammoth horses
that draw the transfer wagons OF Denver
will average $500 each. 1t pays to breed
and raise big horses
Barley is the only grain crop that
America imports. This is quite curious,
since the country is susceptible Of grow
ing millions of bushels for export. The
American farmer has had such dislike
to the bearded stuff that he neglected
it sadly.
That English syndicate has at last COB
bled the Pillsbury and Washburn -four
mills at Minneapolis, at $1,000, 900; prop
erty transferred Nov. 1.
Drouths have seriously affected fall
pasturage in Ohio, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, as well as Michigan; and farmers,
unable to properly care for their cattle,
are forcing them upon an already glutted
market.
Bees should not be placed near a street
or driveway. If a person is so situated
as to be compelled to keep them in such
a place, high board fence is quite a pro-
lection against trouble; or a row of high
trees, or building, in fact anything that
will compel them to rise high when they
fly from the hive. When they are thus
situated persons living in the vicinity
would not be aware of colonies near, as
they rise up out of the way of mischief.

Peaches in the Middle South.

y complete history of peach culture in
Maryland, III n recent bulletin of the
agricultural department, shows it gen
orally has been successful and more
profitable than other farm industries.
Instances are not uncommon where the
yearly profits have exceeded the whole
cost of the farm, ranging from 500 to
$500 per acre. Yearly averages of SIOO
per acre for ten years are mentioned. the
result OF skill, industry and capital. Who
ever understands peach culture and at
tends to it well, does well. The soil and
climate OF Southern Maryland are in all
respects well adapted for the production
OF the peach.-Michigan Farmer.
The Russian wheat crop is now put at

ABLY below an average.

BOTH LEGS TAKEN OFF.
Mr.. Anthony CLOSER Meets with n Ter
ribIe Accident.

Mr.. Anthony CLOSER Meets with Ter
rible Accident.
Nr. ANDY" CLOSER has long been well
known to many people of Johnstown.
His home is near the village of st. Boni-
facius not far from Hastings. He was
employed for some time by the firm of
Gels, Joster & Quinn, and later by Mr..
John l. Hornick as bartender. Since last
spring he was employed by L. M. Woof
g. Son as q salesman.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. CLOSER
left his employers store-room about 10
o'clock. About midnight he was seen by
some parties.
Saturday morning, between the hours
of 1 and 2 O'Clock, as Engineer William
Sweeney, with the engine -" Indiana,
was returning from having taken train
out the Baltimore & Ohio to the yard, he
saw a man lying on the track at the upper
end Of the Clinton street crossing 1t
was impossible to get stopped before
the engine had passed where the
man was lying. 1t was then found
that both legs had been ground off the
man. Joseph Better, who keeps a saloon
near Ly, was aroused and the injured man
was taken to his place. 1t was there
learned that the man was Andy CLOSER.
He was laid on a board and taken on the
engine to the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
ton, and from there carried to the Cam
bria Hospital Drs. w. B. Lowman and
J. G. Sheridan were summoned They
saw at once that both legs
would have to be amputated.
CLOSER moansd some all the
while, but was unconscious. Father
Alto was summoned, and fearing That he
would not survive the severe operation
Of two amputations, annointed him. The
doctors then proceeded and amputated
both legs below the knee CLOSER still
remained unconscious and apparently in
sensible of what was taking place till
about o'clock yesterday morning. He
was visited by Mr.. L. NJ. Woolf early in
the forenoon, and talked to him. He
seemed very much distressed at his
condition, and burst into tears
when Mr.. Woolf came to where he was.
His relatives have been notified andare
expected to-day. The chances are that
he will recover, being man of strong
physical vigor, but the idea of having to
pass THROUGH the world without feet dis
courages him very much. Last night at
late hour he was reported as doing well.
Row he came to be lying on the track
seems to be clouded in mystery, being
unable to account for it himself. How
ever, there are opinions in regard to it.

Duties of Jurymen.

In case recently tried in the Allegheny
County Court the jury, after being out six
hours, sent down word to Judge White
that they were unable to agree on YER
dict, the jury standing eleven to one, and
the one would not give in. Judge White
had the jury brought into court, and in
kind but firm words informed them that
he was surprised that they could not
agree. The case was a trifing one, and
involved hardly anything more than the
question of costs, as he had intimated in
his charge. His Honor stated that the
probability was that the one juror was
wrong, as there were eleven chances that
way. The juror should feel that the
eleven were as honest and intelligent as
he was. 1t was not a question OF con-
science with jurors; that is a mistaken
idea it is simply question Of judgment,
and a minority could agree without in
jury to the conscience. HIS Honor stated
that he could not think Of discharging the
jury, and hoped they would reach YER
dict in few minutes. The obstinate Juror
was evidently impressed with the Judges
remarks, as he Immediately gave in to the
other eleven, and without leaving the box
Il verdict Of not guilty was handed down.

The quarrel between the two was political,

bitter. II was not case of our higher civ

Swartwout met determined to hurt. Clin-

Swartwout demanded another shot. Once
he was hit in the arm. then in the leg, then
in the finger, and finally somewhere else,
but, even struggling on the ground in great
pain, he insisted that he should have
another chance, though his antagonist was
as yet uninjured. In view Of such ridicu-

A BOY WITH A BROKEN NECK.
II Has Been Broken rwice-Iiis Head
swings AZ II On q swivel.

IL Has Been Broken Twice-his beau
Swings AS II On n swivel.
In the diminutive person of George Gold
berg, twelve years old, Brooklyn has an
anatomical phenomenon which the doctors
who have seen aud examined him think
cannot be matched by any living person,
If at all in the history Of surgery. The
boys neck had been broken once and re-
paired so that he seemed In all respects like
other boys, and owing to n recent accident
1t again unhinged, SO that his head swings
round as II hung on swivel.
Young Goldberg's parents are poor but
worthy persons, his father working for the
Pennsylvania railroad company Mt Sl2
week.
on June 13 last George went to picnic
at Schuetzen park, and for the first time i'm
his life saw cherry tree laden with fruit.
He climbed the tree, gorgod himself with
cherries and fell headlong from u branch
TO a bench. When he was picked up bis
head swung around loosely as If upon
pivot, and he was unconscious.
The lad was carried to the Long Island
college hospital. DR.. Shaw the superin
tcndcnt of the hospital, found that the
vertcbrps of his neck were broken and
ordered that he he placed under the care of
nurse in the accident ward. For Ave
weeks the boy lay on his back, motionless,
with his head held in position by bags of
sand behind and on each side.
At the end of five weeks he was dis
charged ns cured. lie was then able TO
move his head stif,ly from side to side,
but a touch, however gentle, upon the
occipital bone caused intense pain.
A few days ago he had'the misfortune to
fall while at play and tho muscles Of his
neck again lost control of the head, which
resumed its swiye-like condition. This
relapse resulted in loss OF appetite and
health.
Not being able to pay 81 a week for the
boys maintenance and treatment mt the
Long Island hospital OF other private in
stitutions, Mrs,Goldborg, the boys mother
| on the advice of friends applied to the
commissioners of charities. They told her
the only place where George could bs

| there and he was dressed up in the prison

whom she is very fond, would only get
