DEFENDED HER HONOR.
Solomon Neidifer Returns Home
to Find His Wife a Corpse.

BEDFORD, Ind, March ga horri-
bic murder took place twelve miles
southeast OF Mitchell on farm in the
extreme southern part of the
county. Yesterday morning Solomon
Neidifer left his home to attend a
public sale. He little dreamed of tie
frightful tragedy that would be enacted
in his home before he returned. He
arrived late last night and found that
his wife had been murdered during
his absence. Her dead body was
found in one of the back rooms of the
house with two large bullet holes
through her body. In her right hand
she held in death grasp a stove hook.
with which she had attempted to defend
her honor. The left hand is badly
burned with powder as though she was
warding off the revolver. Neidrifer
and wife have been married some five
years and have lived very happily to-
getiier. She was a very handsome
woman about twenty-five years Old
The coroner's jury is in session, and
every effort is being made to find a
clue to the murderer. Ii he is found no
jury will have chance to decide
whether he is guilty or innocent From
the excitement prevailing we doubt if
he IS given time to pray.

SAME OLD GAME.
A Farmers Alliance Treasurer
Buncoed Out of $4,000.

FAYETTEsvILLE, Ark, March 60
Capt. W, d. DowelI, a well-to-do farmer
and state treasurer of the Farmers AL

old gag. Capt. Dowell loaned one of
the men the money with which to cover

parted. His whereabouts are unknown.
The other two men were captured and

There is no doubt that high tariff
may induce the manufacture in this
country of some articles that have been
made abroad. Que of the incidents held
up as showing the advantage is the case
of Nottingham lace, named from the
town in England where it has been pro-
duced. Since the new duties have be-
come operative it is found more profit
able to supply the American consump-
ton by transferring part of the works
to this country. The machinery and
workmen have been brought over, and

the government in the way OF duties. it

in Disease.

During the Greek war of independ.
ence, Captain Trelawney, the favorite
companion of Lord Byron, was wounded
in q way that nine out Of ten surgeons
would have despaired of his life, but, as
he himself expressed it, he recovered by
g sheer force of resolution, " in spite OF
the extreme discomforts of his sick-bed
in q highland camp. Devoted mothers
have in a similar way managed to survive
deadly epidemics, for their children's
sake, and the Psychologist Bichat remarks
that wealthy misers are generally long
lived because they cling to life with all
the energy of their mental constitution.
Life-weary persons, on the other hand,
suecumb even to triiing disorders. DIR.
G.. B. Hofmeister, IN a recent number OF
the Practitioner, describes his exper-
fence with melancholy patients IN Fast
| ern Africa. who die because they ''are
not all anxious to recover; their idea of
the value of life is very low, their pres
ent existence is generally a hard one,
| while their religion promises them better
| times in heaven, so that, if Allah wills to
take them, they are in luck and by no
means to be pitied." Professor Hume
| Nisbet observed q similar disposition
among the natives of Australia, who,
! "when hope ceases to glow in their
| breasts OF a superstitious omen tells them
that they arc to Diet may be the word
of the magician or a bone pointed at
| them as with the Queenslanders, or a liz
| ard running over their bodies, as with
the Maoris, or the utter WEAKNESS OF life
taking possession Of their souls, as with
| sidi- boys-they will lie down and give
up life as easily and ~methodically as they
fall asleep. This will power is utterly
beyond the comprehension of US Western
ers, nor can doctors give it a name; but
it is. a fact that a Maori will count up the
days he has to live, and after giving his
friends notice, die up to time calmly and
without an effort" A confirmation OF
that phenomenon is the speedy Exit OF
defeated men, who seem unable tosurvIye
their departed luck; witness the case OF
Horace Greeley, of Gar Nicholas or OF

SETTING HENS.

It is an old saying that there is q
right and wrong way of doing every
thing. This is as true of setting a hen
IS of anything else.
A hen should not be set in the general
chicken house, as she will breed verminI
much faster than one which is free, hence
the building will soon become infested.
The laying hens are apt to fight with the
settlers, and thus break eggs, or kill the
Matching chicks; and if the nests are not
closely watched while the settlers are off,
are apt to lay in the nests. !
When you are sure a hen has the set
ting fever, prepare the nest, which should
be fourteen inches square and six inches
deep for small hens, and eighteen inches,
square for large ones, by placing about
four inches of cut straw and a few tobac-;
co leaves in it, and shaping it low in the
middle, higher at the sides; but be sure
the bottom is large enough to hold thir-.
teen eggs without one rolling on an.
other.
Dust we'll with insect powder and add
y nest egg or two. After dark carefully
remove the hen SO as not to brighten
her, and place her In her new quarters.
In the morning if she takes kindly to
the new nest-and they rarely do other
w1se--remoye the nest eggs, and give a
full clutch, putting a few at a time, and
letting her fix them to suit.
If many hens are in the same building
they should be marked, sc as to be
readily told apart, and care taken that
each n goes to her own nest, as the
body of a hen setting but q few days,
| has much more heat than N that has
set nearly three weeks, hence eggs are
Dften injured by a change of hens. If
the settlers show q disposition to leave
their own, and invade another's nest, Sc
cure them by placing over them an open
| frame. This should be removed regu-
larly every day to allow the hens to come
off for food aud water. Whole corn is
perhaps the best diet, as it takes longer
to digest, and helps maintain an even
temperature. Keep either gravel or
broken crockery within reach all the
lime.
Experience has taught that hens set IN
j separate building are much easier cared
for, and will bring out a larger per cent.
Of chicks than otherwise. We have
used the barn for early settlers, after
ward, an empty corn crib, till building
was provided onpurpose. Farm, Field

There is another consideration in this
connection worthy of entertainment.
Daisies and carrots are the bugbear, the
terror of hay growers. They must seed
the second year or die out. Cut three
or four times every year. they will inevi-
tally disappear, and with them many
other weeds. Grass, cut early, before
forming headstalks, needs curing differ
emily from ordinary hay. 1t must be
cured in the cock to get the full benefit
of all its qualities. Drying in the sun
will certainly powder its tenderest, most
%succulent and juicy parts, and thus
waste its most valuable properties. 1t
should lie exposed to sun no longer after
cutting than sufficient to dry off the visi'
BILE dew. When properly cured not a
leaf will break in the hand. It will be
soft, pliable and sweet smelling. In
these days of moving machines three or
four cuttings will cost little; while the
increased production owe a single cut
ting. together with the higher nutritious
quality of the product and the repression
of weeds, would seem to make this plan
much preferable over the ordinary one of
haying timothy straw.

TEACHING PIGS 10 EAT.

Inc sooner the pigs are taught to eat,
the better it will be for them and for The
SOW. If part of the pen is partitionedi
OF, and a place is left through which
they can pass, they can be got to eating
milk when three or four weeks old. A
shallow trough, which they cannot upset,
should be provided, and in it should be!
put either fresh or skinned milk. The
trough should be frequently cleaned and.
the supply of milk should be regular and
liberal. In a little while bran, or mid
dlings can be mixed with the milk. The
quantity of milk and other food should,
be increased as the pigs increase in size
and age. One of the most profitable
methods of making pork is to commence
feeding the pigs at an early age and to
continue to feed literally until they are
ready for the butcher, American
Dairyman.
