killed Himself Rather Than Rat.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 16-The body of
man which came ashore at Santa Monica
yesterday has been identified as that of
Christian Keebler. a printer recently em-
ployed on the Herald of this city. and who
went out with the strikers last week.
Keebler had secured work on the Herald
only few days before the strike occurred.
He had two or three children in San Fran
cisco, his wife being dead. 1t is said that
when the strike came on Keebler was heard
to say that he would kill himself before he
would FRAT" and it is supposed the suicide
was caused by dependency over loss of en-
ployment and fear that he would not be
able to care for his children

ToRoxTo. Ont, Aug. 16.-Sir Joseph
Hickson has written letter to the Globe in
reference to complaints by American rail-
ways against the Grand Trunk and Cana
dian Pacific. He says:
These complaints are not well founded, and 1t
is no secret that the desire lie TO prevent Cana
dian companies carrying United States traffic at
all ana not that they should be subject in their
traffic arrangements to the provision of the in
terstafe commerce act OF the United States con-
gress. The Canadian companies from the date
when the interstate commerce act came into
effect having recognized that IL was incumbent
upon them in dealing With traffic to or from the
United states and Canada or traffic passing
through Canada from one state 70 another OF
the United etstss, TO observe the terms and con-
ditions of the interstate commerce act, after q
somewhat extensive experience / am prepared
to assert that the Canadian companies do not
derive from tie operation OF the interstat e COM
merce act any advantage over their United
states competitors.

Robert w. Furness, of Nebraska, who
hes had a long experience, advises as fol-
lows in regard to transplanting the larger
forest trees for ornamental purposes:
"All above one inch in diameter, to in
sure success, should be cut back to six
eight, ten or twelve feet, as taste may
dictate. l prefer six and eight feet
prune off every limb, leaving the tree,
when planted, mere bare stem or stake.
Where cut Off at top, and where limbs
are cut away, they should be painted
over with thick common paint, or, bet
Ter, thick solution of gum shellac and
alcohol. The theory is that the first duty
transplanted tree has to perform is to
get hold Of and identify itself again with
the soil. Everything retarding this work
should be avoided. Where limbs are left
leaves put out soon, and the growth work
goes on in that direction, thus retarding
work under ground"

The many uses that kerosene may he
put to in the poultry yard make it an al
most Indispensable article to be charged
TO the expense account, and 10 other arti-
Gle will so enhance the profit of the
poultry yards as kerosene diligently and
intelligonly used. For painting the in
side of nest boxes for sitting hens there
is nothing equal to it, as it surely kills
all vermin with which it comes in con-
tact, and prevents other vermin from en-.
tering the nest until it is entirely evapo-
rated, which, if the crude oil is used, will
give the hen ample time to hatch her
brood. A few drops in the drinking
water occasionally has good effect upon
the general health Of the flock, and for
colds or roup there is nothing better if
carefully applied. Scaly legs may be
cured by simply wetting the legs of the
fowls affected occasionally, and the crude
nj is best in this case also, as it takes q
much longer time to evaporatc. When
the crude oil is not readily obtained,
some kind of heavy oil or grease should
be mixed with the kerosene to stay evap-
Grafton. AS remedy for cholera it has
been highly recommended, according to
q correspondent in Fanciers Review.

SALT BOXES FOR FARM STOCK.


Cheap and simple Designs of Boxes Access
slble tn Stock and Protected from Rain.
10 is just as necessary for the thrift of
farm animals that they should have salt
as that their food should be clean and
wholesome: Furthermore. the salt should
be so placed that it may be obtained by
them whenever nature Graves it, and
they should not be obliged to wait until
the attendant deals it out to them, and as
this is usually done it would be at ir-
regular periods and in irregular quanti-
ties. 1t is to suggest good means of
properly "salting' stock that the designs
of salt boxes shown in the cut are given
These according to the correspondent
who describes them in Rural New York
err, are cheap, simple affairs, but well
adapted for the purpose intended. The
object is to have a box holding a quart or

Fertilizer Enneriment with Corn.

Field notesnnade during $3.50, also 1885,
by the farm superintendent ct the New
York station, testify to the stockiness
and general thrift of corn plants where
nitrogen as nitrate, or sulphate, had been
applied The amounts applied in most
eases produced an Increase in the ratio
of stalks to corn, but had an equal, if
hot greater, effect on the yield of sound
corn. Neither potash nor phosphorio
acid exerted marked influence on the
crop The application of plaster was
not followed by any increase of crop
above the general average. Nitrogen
alone increased the crop. Nitrogen with
either potash or phosphoric acid in
creased the crop. Nitrogen with both
potash and phosphoric acid increased
the crop.

Grass ought not to be pastured in very
early spring before the ground settles
and the sod becomes firm. BY this early
pasturing the tops are kept closely cut
off, the roots are much injured from
which the grass does not recover for the
entire season. To gain and thrive a
grass needs some green leaves. When
the pasture is thin and unproductive
harrow the surface and sow on other
kinds of grasses and clovers, with top
dressing of some fertilizer. This serves,
to some extent as rotation of crops for
the soil. When the cattle are fed oil
meal or other rich food, most of it goes
to fertilize the land. Baron j. b. Lawes
advises against feeding grass the first
year. He opposes moving ii the second
year, having found that this practice
destroys the Clovers and lesser grasses
by encouraging the stronger growing
spires. He avoids moving for several
years, feeding with cattle in preference
to sheep. He sows a variety Of grasses,
leaving the best to hold their own. The
falling off Of a pasture may be avoided
by liberal feeding on the ground of
cattle eating cotton meal cake.

T. c, Noble, owner Of the stallion
Alcyron, has sued the National Trot-
ting association and Philip p. johnson
for S25. 900, and the Standard Stock farm
for the same amount. The suit grew out of
the race at Boston last fall betwee Alcyron
and Nelson, in which Nelson won in 2:l3.
1t was claimed Noble threw the race. The
pools were called Off and Noble and his
driver Robinson were suspended. At Buffa-
10 Noble claims he did not sell the race and
his suspension was without notice to him,
and he had no chance to defend himself
His suspension and the charges against him
he says have greatly injured him.
The trotters of Senator Stanford which
will perform over Eastern tracks this season
are on their way East Among them are
the two cracks, Sunol and Palo Alto. 1t is
not likely that the hlly will be asked to con
test against large fields of horses, but ii she
keeps right Marvin will not refuse TO trot
her against any horse single handed. The
stallion Palo Alto which has age and ex-
perience in races will be started in free-for-
ais, specials, and against other stations
singly. He is a stout, rugged horse, and
his breeding is of the kind that gives as
surGnce in his powers to stay through long
races.

management of the Boston Horse Show as
| ISOLATION toward the officers of the Society

have charge of the horse are thoroughly
mad, and there is some talk of suing the
association whose officers stopped the horse
from jumping. If the horse could have
gone over the sticks at the height of seven
feet his owner would have been $500 richer
and those who have charge of him say he
could have done it.
