namely, q good floor for the hen and

In an agricultural department bulletin
occurs this advice, Always remove the
bark from felled timber to aid seasoning,
but not from the standing tree Never
allow the log to lie directly on the moist
soil. If winter felled, shape the timber
TO size within two weeks after telling
and leave it placed on blocks-not upon
soil-in the forest. Orif shaped at home,
place in dry, airy, not windy, position,
away from sun and rain. If dried too
rapidly, wood warps and splits, the cracks

Lie pasturing, however, should be done
only when the soil is in a proper condi-
ton to admit of the tramping Of ami
mails without crushing the plants down
into the muddy Garth. In the fall, when
the wheat is growing green and rank, a
considerable amount Of 'pasturage may
be realized from it at time when the
cows are on short rations for green feed
elsewhere. Occasionally through the
winter stock may run on the wheatfield
while the ground is frozen, but when
thawing days succeed cold nights they
should be kept of. By some spring pas
turing of wheat is considered injurious.
By others it is thought not necessarily
sO'where the growth warrants it and the
pasturing is not'too close or continued
too late. In this, as in most other things
pertaining to farm management, says
the agricultural editor Of the New York
World, no set rules can be laid down
that viii be applicable in all cases, and

ONE WOMAN SHOOTS ANOTHER

The Murdered Woman the wife Of
Police omcer, who Can Throw No Light
on the Anair-The NIurderess surrenders,
but Refuses to Talk.
| New YORK, Oct IA murder, with all
| the elements Of mystery as to the motive,
was committed yesterday in broad day
| light at 515 East Eighty-siXth street. The
utmost retcence regarding the matter il
maintained by those most concerned, and
| the police for some reason or another,
seem anxious to keep the secret within
| themselves.
Shortly after o'clock a tall, dark and
! gentee looking woman, dressed i'm deep
| mourning, was seen passing two and fro
along Eighty-ffth street, as If waiting for
! somebody She cast furtive glances to-
wards the top floor of No. 5l5. Suddenly
she assembled the stoop, and Immediately
four short, sharp cracks from revolver
| were heard A crowd gathered, and rush
ing into the hall they found Mrs Carrie
pearsall lying at the foot Of the stairs
with a bullet wound in the neck and
bleeding profusely from the mouth and
nostrils.
OF the four shots fired by the murderess
but one took effect This entered Mrs.
Pearsalls neck, severed the jugular and
passed through the right lung. She died
fifteen minutes after she was shot.
When the crowd entered the hallway
the tall woman pocketed her revolver,
drew her wrap about her and walked down
the stoop. She went at once to the Eighty
eighth street police station to give herself
up. She told what she had done, and said
her name was Mrs. Catherine Fitzgerald,
