TWO BROTHERS LYNCHED,
Held for the Murder of a Sheriff-Not
Allowed a Last Prayer

At o'clock on a recent morning deter
mined crowd of men gathered in front of
the Jail at Somerset, KY, and demanded
James H. and Josiah Gilliland, held for the
murder of Sheriff McCargue, of Pulaski
County. The guard OF ten men, i'll charge
of Chief of Police Anderson, stood at their
post until they saw resistance was useless.
Jailer Sheppard was OveroOwered by the
mob and the prisoners taken out and hanged
to the limbs of two sycamore trees. They
were game to the last, and did not confess.
protesting their innocence and only asking
leave to kneel and pray, to which the mob
answered by groans and curses James's last
words were, Il am dying for another's
crime" He uttered a short prayer, but
was interrupted by the mob, who told him
to die telling the truth; don't die with lie
on your lips"
He is the one supposed to have fired the
fatal shot, and many crimes are attributed
to him. Josiah, the younger brother.

his innocence.

PUMP FOR A DEEP WELL.

For we'll 225 feet deep a special
pump is required. One of the kind
known as the centrifugal pomp would be
the best for the purpose. as it throws a
powerful stream the whole size of the
pump tube. With stream eight inches
in diameter and flowing 200 feet per
minute, the supply will amount to seventy
cubic feet per minute, or enough for 200
acres of land at the highest estimate. AS
the velocity of the stream is of great
Importance, it would be most desirable
to use steam engine for the pumping.
This would be the more necessary with
the propeller pump, in which the velocity
is matter Of Importance, if the capacity
of the we'll is sufficient One inch of
water per day would be a sufficient sup
ply for fifty acres with ali eight-inch
pump. A sixinch pump would give one
inch of water per day to twenty eight
acres. The probable cost of an outfit
for this purpose would be not far from
$500. If only one acre is to be irri-
gated small windmill would be suffi-
cient with pipe Of two inches diameter.
The cost of an outfit of this capacity
would not be more than $15O.-Net0

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

Fermented soft feed for poultry
often induces disease, especially chol-
era.
A young duck is easily choked if fed
upon Cry feed alone. Water should al
ways De supplied to them when fed.
The moulting season requires from
eighty to ninety days, and the hens re-
quire good care while this is going on.
All poultry intended for market can
| be improved by feeding heavily On
fattening food few days before SELL
ing.
One advantage with stone drinking
vessels is that they will keep the water
cool much longer, while they are easily
kept clean.
In selecting out the roosters to keep
for next seasons breeding take those
that are compact, of medium size and
very active.
If young turkeys can have the run OF
the wheat and oat stubble fields they will
pick up much grain that would other
wise be wasted.
A good nest egg can be made by max
ing hole in the large end, and letting
the yolk run out and filing the shell
with plaster Of paris.
Mrs. Atchley tells in the Bee World
how she treats wormv combs: ''Soak in
clear water twenty-four hours and hang
out to dry, or throw water out with the
extractor and hang SO they don't touch"
DR.. Miller's comment is that if this set
ties the fat old fellows an inch long it
beats birthstone.
Joseph Yuill, of Ontario, Canada, says
he milk his cows right up to the time of
calving, and since ne adopted this prac-
tice he has net had case of milk fever,
and we presume none of garget. He
used to have great deal of trouble when
he let his cows go dry two months or less.
When the milk gets bad for domestic
consumption he feeds it to the pigs.
No dairyman should purchase ready
ground feed. He may not be deceived,
but it is one chance out of many that he
will not. The waste of the oatmeal mills,
the hulls only, are largely used for mix
ing in ground feed and the rest consists
mostly of the poorest corn and mill
screenings. The very best is the cheap
est in buying feed.

THE MISSION OF WEEDS.

No one should disclaim against weeds.
They are certainly troublesome to the
careless farmer, but when rightly con-
sidered are gentle reminder by benef-
cent nature that we are neglecting work
which should be done. And as virtue
is its own reward, that of careful atten-
ton to business opportunities always
pays the farmer handsomely. Weeds
are thus an inducement for the farmer to
do his whole duty in the thorough cult
walton of the land, which would be apt
to be neglected otherwise. -Ameraoan

EXPERIMENTS IN PIG-FEEDING.

1t is we'll known that corn is the chief
fattening food for pigs in a large part Of
the United States. Experiments which
were made during three years are re-
ported in full by the Illinois Station,
showing the feeding value for pigs of
corn, of corn and grass, of grass alone,
the comparative value of soaked and
dry corn, the value of droppings from
cattle and of apple pomace in feeding
pigs. In eight trials in which corn alone
was fed, aside from salt and coal slack,
pigs varying in weight from sixty five to
so pounds, kept in pens Of small lots
without grass, gained at the rate of from
1916 pound to 14.73 pounds per
bushel, the average gain being SO
pounds per bushcl of sheIled corn.
The rate of gain for food
eaten and the food eaten in
proportion to weight decreased after four
or six weeks feeding with corn only.
There seems to be no constant relation
between the weight of the pigs or the
season of the year and food eaten or the
gains made.
In four trials pigs fed all, they would
cat of shelled corn, with blue grass pas
ture, gained at the rate of r. o. pounds
per bushel OF corn. Pigs under like
conditions except that they were fed but
half as much corn, gained at the rate of
1905 pounds per bushci. Pigs in dry
lots fed sheiled corn, gained at the rate
Of 1852 pounds per bushel. In no case
did pigs make satisfactory gain after
six or eight weeks feeding on corn alone.
In two trials pigs fed soaked corn ate
more aud gained more than those fed on
iry corn, but the differe nee was not
great. Two pigs in a two acre pasture
lot in which three yearling steers were
feed corn, gained in twentyfour weeks
1875 pound. To q second trial under like

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
UTILIZING COAL ASHES.

One of the best uses for fresh coal
ashes is the hen house first, while fine
and powdery as a dust bath, and after
ward to go in with the fowls droppings,
removing offensive odors and absorbing
ammonia when the mass begins to heat.
Put the droppings into barrel and
sprinkle coal ashes on the surface. To-
wards spring mix several barrels to-
gether in a box, and with sieve it can
be made fine enough to drill readily, or
be distributed in hills by old tablespoons
good for nothing else.-BostOn CuItica-

YOUTHFUL MURDERERS,

They Deliberately Drowned n Littlc
Playmate, and Pawned His Clothes.
The details of horrible murder commit
ted by two boys, each of them about eight
years of age have just come to light in Liv-
erpool, England. The two lads, named re-
spectively Crawford and Sharon, were ar
rested, charged with numbering one of their
comrades, a boy also about eighs years of
age. Upon being taken to the police station
they confessed to the crime. They said that
they wanted to steal the clothes of the muir
dered boy, and therefore pushed him into the
water intending to drown him.
When the poor little fellow managed to
scramble out Crawford and Sharon pushed
him i'll again: then Crawford went down on
his knees, and, kneeling on the drowning
boys head, held him down under waite TN
til he finally ceased struggling. The two
young murderers stripped the boy of the
clothes, dried them, ana afterward obtained
some money upon them at a pawnshop.
This led to their Identification and arrest.

REMEDY FOR CHICKENS WITH THE GAPES.
Mrs. X. r. Taylor, Kentucky, writes
us: The authorities say the best remedy
is prevention, but IN a wet season this is
difficult of application except by the few
scientific poultry raisers. When proven
ton has failed, the thing to do is to take
a long horse hair and bend it, twisting
the loop SO 1t can be probed into the
chickens throat with a spiral motion.
Catch the chicken with the left hand,
press it's wings to its sides, hold its head
back, open the bill, put out the tongue
until a coarse Irvine can be hooked over
the raised portions at the base of the
tongue and held beneath the bill firmly,
while the horse hair loop is worked into
the windpipe gently to the depth of two
or two and half inches of the loop.
With a spiral motion twist it out, and
repeat until you bring several punches
of small, bright, red worms. After all
have been extracted, the chick will, per-
haps, froth little, but in ten minutes it
will eat its food. II in twelve or TWEEN
ty-four hours it still throws its head back
and gasps, repeat the operation. Old
,hands says blue grass is better than horse
hair, but the latter is always available.
This is the preventive of sure DEATH

WHEAT WITH ARTIF

WHEAT WITH ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS.
Wheas has been grown with entire
success by the sole use of fertilizers. But
yet it is a doubtful thing to recon-
mend, because so many conditions may
prevail that might prevent success.
When loss would be ruinous, as IN this
case, any unqualified advice would be
ill-judged. All that can be said safely
is that 1t has been done, and in this
way The quantity of mineral elements
taken from the soil being known, it is
mere matter of calculation to apply to
the soil the fertilizers called for, and to
use them in the ordinary manner.
For instance, thirty bushels of wheat
being desired, and it being known that
this quantity of grain with the straw
takes from the soil forty-fve pounds of
nitrogen, which is equivalent to nearly
fifty pounds Of ammonia; twenty-three
pounds OF potash, which is equal to sixty
pounds of the muriate of potash; about
twenty-five pounds of phosphoric acid,
which is equal to $50 pounds of the
best superphosphate; all the other Gle.
ments required are supplied with these
fertilizers. Three hundred pounds of
nitrate Of soda would supply the nitrogen
required in another and perhaps the best
form. Now, it is to be supposed that
the soil will contain some fertility that
would make up for any possible failure
that might occur with the fertilizers,
and thus the expected results are reason
able to be looked for.
But 1t may turn out that some adverse
circumstances may occur and disappoint-
ment result. This is the uncertainty
that may mar all ones hopes, and the
contingency is to be prepared for. Can
this be met without inconvenience? This
question is the main consideration which
renders it SO difficult to give any GER
tain advice in the matter. The risk is
to be run under almost any circumstances,
and if the experiment is first tried for
one year with small part of the crop,
its success or failure will be guide for
further attempts.
AS the cost of these fertilizers will be
S17 or more, it is clear if thirteen BUSH
els of wheat can be grown in the ordinary
way. it will be about the same thing,
except that the land may be so we'll fer
tilted that the products may be in ex-
cess of the yield mentioned, or the whole
of the fertilizers named may not be re-
quired, half as much may be sufficient,
and the result will be so much more IA
vorable. 1t is most probable that one
trial of the method may clear the way to
a more extensive attempt, which might be
found satisfactory. Five acres, for in
stance, may be put in wheat this season,
and the result will be guide for future
work. There will be no difficulty in
continuing the method of growing this
crop if the requisite supply of fertilizers
that may have been found necessary are
used for each crop grown.-Neeo York
Times.
