STOCK ITEMS.


Keeping horses comfortable will
lessen extensively the feed required.
Pumpkins, turnips, potatoes, carrots.
with mill feed and oil meal, can be used
as substitutes for fattening hogs when
corn is scarce.
To keep more stock than you can feed
literally is to simply starye the whole
gradually. 1t does not pay to attempt
TO do more than your limit allows TO be
| done we'll
Who're there are plenty OF good pas
lures and water the raising OF good
horses can be made profitable. But
they must be horses that are In demand
in the market not scrubs.
The best growth OF wool can only be
secured by giving the sheep sufficient
feed during the winter, TO keep In
good, thrifty condition, and under pres
ent conditions sheep can be made 10
pay.
There Is no age in the horses life
when oats are not good feed for him.
A young colt may be taught to eat oau
very early, and they are absolutely
necessary when the mares milk begins
TO fail, or 1t becomes time to wean him.
The advantage in either grinding or
soaking the food Is, that 1t is in better
condition to be more thoroughly masts
Gated, and the better IL is masticated
the moro easily it will be digested, ana
in this way the stock will be able to
derive larger amount of benefit
There is one sure and certain specific
against milk fever in cows, not as a
cure but preventive. This is TO avoid
all grain feeding for one month before
calying, to gradually dry off the COW
two months before it, to feed no grain
food for one month after calving, and
to keep the COW quiet and remove the
calf before it has sucked. Diaries
where this system is practiced never
have a case of milk fever
Generally colts ought to be weaned
when six months old. About ten days
or two weeks before weaniDg the rations
should be gradually increased so that
the change can be made without detri-
mont They ought by this time to have
been handled sufficiently so that they
can be haltered and led around without
any trouble. Oats bran, or mill feed,
oil meal or barley with good hay or corn
fodder should be fed and very little
corn Cor. Livestock Indicator.
The man who is always harping upon
the foolishness, or worse, of farmers
keeping the common cattle instead OF
pure bred herds, is a-well, there Is no
mood strong enough to express the idea.
For while there are more than q, 200, 600
farmers who keep cows, there are only
92, 900 pure bred cows and 49, 900 bulls
recorded in the herd books, to which
good, bad and ind different all go from
the first beginning of the records, and
a large number of these are dead. How
far would the whole go around among
all the farmers? One to overy 100 farm
ers, that is all. Exchange.

WRECKINC AGAIN.
Another Desperate Attempt on
the New York Central.
THE SAME KIND OF INSTRUCTIONS.
A Trackman shot while Warning tho Sc
Louis and Chicago Express-Passengers
Frightened over Their Narrow
Escape.

PoUouKEEPslE, ~ Y, Sept "a
desperate attempt was made last nigh
to wreck tho fast St Louis and Chicago
express, which leaves New York on the
New York Central at six p. m.
Tho train was stopped for danger
signal south Of Old Troy, which is 800
yards south of the New Hamburg draw
bridge, as two minutes previous the
6agman had found several ties standing
endways in the curve near Old Troy,
and when he took hold of one end OF
them to remove them he was fired upon
from the bushes on the east side Of the
track Knowing that the fast express
was nearly due he ran southwark and
set the signal which stopped the train.
| Tho flagman said the ties stuck up above
the rails and would certainly have
thrown the train from the track.
Tho fast train was composed OF seven
or eigh I sleeping cars, all full, two or
dinary coaches and baggage car.
There were eight ties on the up main
track. There were also two ties placed
alongside OF the rail towards the south
so as TO ditch the train. The train
passed here half an hour late.
FURTHER PARTICULARS
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. "a messenger
at the depot who had talked with the
trainmen on the train, an attempt to
wreck which had been made, said that
at a point called Old Troy, near Ham
burg, tho train was stopped so quickly
that the passengers were thrown from
their seats. There was great excite
ment, the people on the train believing
that there was another accident The
cause, however, was the appearance of
a trackman with red lantern and
with blood streaming from wound
in his shoulder. The engineer
said he heard several shots fired and
then saw the man. When the trackman
could speak he said that there was an
obstruction on the track, and search
ing party soon found a pile OF ties laid
across and braced from behind with
pieces of railroad iron. The obstruction
was removed aud the train proceeded
with a thoroughly frightened lot Of
passengers.
The above story was told TO railroad
officials here, but they refused to say
whether 1T was true or not
A railroad employe who was on the
train was found later and tells another
version, probably the true one. He
says that two men out rowing on the
river near that point saw some men
busy on the tracks and, waiting until
they disappeared, they crawled quietly
up They found a steel rail wedged in
the cattle guard in the samo way as at
Albany and braced up in the same way
by pieces of iiange iron. With all their
strength they could not move it and
started down the track TO warn the Chi
cago limited express. They met
trackman and he swinging his red lam
torn started to stop the train. In an
instant several shots rang out and one
took effect in tho trackman's shoulder.
However the train was stopped about
100 yards south Of the obstruction. Ac-
cording to the description OF the barrl-
cade it was Of tho same build as the
one near Albany on Thursday night

Remarkable Progress OF Construction -
Buying the Truck of the Defunct Panama

Remarkable Progress OF Construction -
buying the Truck of the Defunct Panama
Canal
WASHINGTON, Sept o.-J. Menocal
and several other gentlemen OF the en-
gineering staff OF the Nicaragua canal
construction corps have just reached
Washington from Greytown on a short
leave OF absence. They report com
mendabe progress already on the great
engineering project Several million
dollars have been spent and the active
work OF canal construction is so we'll
started and under such favorable fnan-
cial auspices that the success OF the
scheme they say is assured.
The Nicaragua Company recently pur-
chased the plantot he.American Dredg-
the work on the abandoned Panama
Canal. The dredges are now being de-
livered at Greytown and the Nicaragua
Company will operate them for itself in
stead OF letting contracts such OF the
work as these dredgcs are adapted to.
Already the pier or breakwater extend
ing out into the gulf at Greytown is
nearly completed; tho actual dredging
for the canal on the gulf side has been
begun, and the telegraph line from Grey
town to Lake Nicaragua, connecting
with the lines on the Pacific coast, is
completed and the railroad from Grey
town to the lake along the line OF the
canal is well under way. At present
about eighteen hundred men and eighty
officers or engineers are on the ground
and at work.
The first week, preliminary to work
on tho canal proper, was the building
Of the great pier, extending l,sOO feet
out toward the deep waters. This pier
is necessary TO protect the entrance to
the canal and work was begun early
last January. Seven hundred feet of
this has been completed. This pier has
proved lucky enterprise. When work
was begun on it the entrance was OBJ
structed by a sandbar. The 500 feet Of
pier already built has so changed the
currents that this obstructing sandbar
has almost entirely worn away by the
action of the water

OKLAHOMA CRY, Ok, Sept 4-Spe-
cial Agent Lafe Merritt and Indian
Agent 5, l. Patrick have arrived from
the Kickapoo Indian village, whore an
attempt has been made to enroll that
tribe. A council Of the head men was
had Saturday and Monday at each Of
which they positively refused TO be
counted. They are stubborn and super
stItious and bitterly object to the APP
proaches made by the Government
officials upon any subject in reality for
their we'll being.
The Kiokapoos have occupied their
present reservation for sixteen years,
having been removed from New Mexi-
Co during which time no enrolment
has been taken OF them. Their agent
was ordered to do so, however at all
hazards, and now that they have re-
fused troops will undoubtedly be called
to assist in the work.
The above named officials wired the
at Washington a statement
OF the situation and asked for military
aid, which will probably be furnished
from the camp at this point or from
Fort Reno

LOST IN PORK.
The Old House OF Sawyer, Wallace q Co
Assigns without Preferences $50 Losse
Ikun Into tha A4llIinua

Tho Old House OF Sawyer, Wallace q Co.
Assigns without Preferences -- Losses
Run Into tho Millions.
New York, Sept b b-Samuol A. Saw
yer David L. Wallace and David Miller,
constituting the firm OF Sawyer, Wall
lace a. Co., assigned yesterday after
noon for the benefit OF their creditors to
Marshal Ayres, without preferences.
The firm was one of the oldest and
most prominent in the export and COM
mission trade. 1t dealt in grains, pork,
coffee, cotton, tobacco, petroleum and
provisions generally and had been in
existence for thirty-seyen years The
firm had agents in every city
in Western Europe.
The house was established In 1853 by
Mr.. Samuel A. Sawyer, who came to
this city from Tennessee. The busi-
ness gradually increased until IL has as
sumed mammoth proportions, its rami-
hcations extending to all portions Of
the globe.
In 1883 tobacco syndicate unloaded
on them an immense amount of low
grades, which they held for some timo
before they we're able to dispose of it.
II is supposed that they have been maxi
ing money, though at times they have
lost from their syndicate dealings.
The failure will reach undoubtedly
into the millions though at present it
is impossible to make any approximate
estimate.
Wall street firms say the cause OF the
failure was the result OF the efforts
made by the firm to squelch competitors
in the commission business with Euro
pean spectators without margin, and
at small commission. In the pork
deal last January the firm is said to have
sustained losses OF 81, 600, 900 on this ac-
count 1t is estimated that the sum
total OF nominal assets will reach ST.
750, 900, among which are included the
81 900 900 lost in the pork deal

New YoRK, Sept g. --R- q. Dun g. Co s
weekly trade review says;
The accounts OF trade from all parts
OF the country are encouraging this
week. AZ Boston tho money market is
pretty stiff, which affects some trades.
Leather is more quiet and hides firm.
Az Philadelphia sales of leather are
large at better prices and collections
improve. Chicago reports smaller re-
ceipts OF grain than last year except OF
barley, decrease of half in dressed
beef because Of the stock yards strike,
and a large decrease in butter but an
increase OF 38 per cent in cured
meats, 300 per cent in lard and a heavy
increase in cheese and wool, while mer-
chandise and especially dry goods sales,
much exceed last years St Louis
notes good trade In nearly all lines,
with crop prospects mewhat improved.
Cincinnati finds business favorable, ex-
cellent in boots and shoes and
healthy in other merchandise, with
advance in groceries; the carriage
manufacture is active, and some
decrease from last year in sales OF
clothing is more. than compensated by
better prices. Trade is fairly good in
nearly all lines at Cleveland, encourage
ing at Detroit better than was antici-
pated at Milwaukee. unchanged at St
Paul and fair at Kansas City. From
jacksonville there come brighter re-
ports and at Savannah business is brisk.
The speculative markets are lower.
People who have been bulling wheat
observe loss OF cents for the week,
in corn 2 cents, in oats = cent, in pork
25 cents per barrel and in hogs 30 cents
per 100 pounds, while oil is 4 cent
lower and cotton a cent The sales have
been but moderately, 600 600 bushels Of
wheat 1000 900 bushels OF corn, 90. 900
bales OF cotton and 100 900 bags OF coffee
without change in price Prices gem
orally have been 80 high that exports
were materially diminished, the value
sent from New York for the last Week
being s., 800, 900 or 30 per cent below
last year The general average OF
prices yields less than the prices of
speculative objects which have been
unnaturally advanced, and leather
goods and some other manufactures are
higher, but in the aggregate a fall of 1 4
per cent appears.
1t Is the prevailing opinion that the
secoad order by the Treasury TO pur-
chase bonds insures fairly easy money
market for the fall Trade in branches
taken together is certainly more than
10 per cent greater than az this TIME
last year exclusive of speculative oper-
ations, about 8 per cent Of the
Increase being due to the advance
in prices since last year and the !
rost to the increase in quantities |
OF products transferred. Though |
commercial credit appears to be un-
usually healthy few failures arising |
from speculation are tho main cause Of |
disturbance. Tho business failures oc-
curing throughout the country during
the past seven days number 2O3 as com
pared with total Of ls0 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year the
figures were 20l.
