insects and noxious seeds, sufficient sand
added to make it porous, and an abund-
ance of well rotted manure worked into
it. There are, however, some seeds
that will do better in rather poor soil,
abronit, verbens, nastartium aad few
others. .s,
Fine seed should never be sown deep,
and If very fine should be mixed with
sand, sown thinly over the surface and
pressed firmly down without covering st
all. Do not let the soil dry out,
keep it moist until toe seeds germinate,
then give a light spriukling Of water
every night aud morning. Do not pour
the water on, use plant sprinkler, an
ordinary household syringe, or hair
brush; I prefer the latter. as it covers .
larger surface at once. Keep the seeds
in moderately warm place and shielded
from the light until they germinate, then
bring gradually into the light and sum
shine. If too strong sun is given at first
the tiny plants will droop and die.
Whenever the weather permits open the
windows and give the plants fresh air, or
on mild days carry them outside. Shield
them from heavy winds and rains until
the stems begin to grow thicker and
take them in at night until all danger
from frost Is over.
Vcrbenas, anrrrhiuums and zinnias
will decay if given too much water. Do
not lose patience and begin to stir up the
soil if the seeds do not come up just
when you expect them; they are often .
little slow about starting when the
weather is cold. It is better to SOW only
part of each packet the first time, then
il they do not grow after reasonable
period put in the rest, irst studying the
directions carefully. Do not allow the
plants to grow too large before removing
them to their permanent quarters in tho
flower beds.

THE NARONIC LOST.
Two of Her Lite Boats Are Picked
Up at Sea.


Up at Sea.
After long-continued anxiety rsgar ding
the fate OF the White Star line freight
steamship Naronic, which sailed from Liv.
erpool on February 18th for New York, and
which had not since been heard of, news has
been received showing beyond doubt that
the vessel is lost.
The British steamship Coventry, Captain
Wilson, from Fernandina reports that at 2
o'clock on the morning OF March 4,
she passed a hfeboat painted white
bearing the name Naronic. The
boat was floating keel upward.
At o'clock in the afternoon Of the same
day another lifeboat from the Naronic was
passed. This boat gave evidence OF having
encountered heavy weather. The mast and
oars Of the lifeboat had been lashed together
and attached to the painter and then thrown
overheard as sea anchor to keep the boats
appearances neither Of the boats had long
been adrift The position OF the drifting
boats was about south by west OF Sable ISL
and, on the banks of Newfoundland.
All doubt as to the fate of the Naronic has
been dispelled by the sighting OF her life
boats. That she Is now at the bottom Of
the ocean cannot BE- disputed, but the cause
or the disaster Is, OF course, stul mat1er OF
conjecture.
It may be, judging from the latitude and
longitude in which the boats were seen, that
the steamship struck either derelict or an
iceberg, though it Is still rather early in the
season for ice to be adrift 50 far south as the
Banks
Mr.. Kersey, the agent figures the number
Of persons who were on board the Naronic
at seventy. This has been considered too
low, as besides her crew o. seventy officers
and men she must have had at least twenty
or twenty-five cattlemen on board returning
to this country.
She was the largest freight-carryiug
steamer aloat and registered 1894. Her
other dimensions were: Length, 40 feet;
breadth, fifty-three fest; depth OF hold,
thirty five feet six inches.
She was fitted with two sets Of triple e1-
panson engines driving twin screws. On
her main decz she had the most approved
accommodations for carrying 1850 head Of
cattla

THE cows CUD.


There is no such thing as cows cud
in the sense in which this term is often
used as part of the animal that may be
lost. The cud is that of the food which
is brought up from the first stomach and
chewed over again, after which it is
again swallowed and goes directly into
the third stomach, where it is macerated
in the maniplies and then passed to the
fourth stomach and finally digested.
When q cow is suffering from indiges-
tion she may be unable, by reason of the
disorder of the stomach, to bring up
the food or cud, and this makes her sick,
and, If it is continued, she stops eating.
The best thing to do in such case is to
give pint OF raw linseed oil, and re-
peat it if necessary, when the trouble is
generally removed. The cud is formed
by the compression of portion of the
food i'll small channel between the first
and second stomachs and connected with
the gullet. 1t is about five inches in
length and two in width.-New York
Times.

Every Store and Residence in Purvis,
Miss, Destroyed.
The town Of Purvis, Miss, on the New
O:leans Northeastern Railroad, 191 miles
south of Meridian, was destroyed by in
cendiaries few nights ago.
Shortly after midnight the torch was

Of the town, and within two hours time
almost every store and residence in the
place was wiped out. The people ran panic
stricken into the streets, and the greatest
excitement prevailed.
The Western Union Telegraph Office was
burned, but from the passengers who passed
Purvis on northbound train it was learned
that the conaagration was the result Of a
bitter feeling between the white people and
the colored people, growing out Of the ar.

POTATOES AS A MAIN CROP.

The occasional proftableuess of we'll
grown potato crops often leads farmers
to plan how they may devote most of
their land to this crop. No one ever
succeeds in doing this. The potato Is
so successfully grown on clover ley
with very little manure, that the farmer
who depends entirely on purchased fer
tilizers cannot hope to compete. The
potato crop helps little towards making
manure. The refuse or small potatoes
may be fed during fall or winter, but are
of little value to make manure. De.
pending mainly on clover as fertilizer,
tvo.thirds of the time this clover must
occupy the land if it grow enough to be
worth much as green manure.-Boston

Fatal Result Of a Boiler Explosion
in Sawmili.
A fatal accident has occurred at saw
mill on the Skunk River three, miles north
of Lockridge. Iowa, whereby four men have
lost their lives and several were injured
seriously. The engineer had allowed one
of the boilers Of the engine to run out OF
water.
A workman noticing the danger and
thinking to avert calamity, sealed his own
doom and that OF his fellow workmen by in.
jecting cold water into the boiler, causing it
to explode with fearful report, tearing the
building to pieces and blowing him to atoms.
The dead were: John Adams, saw tender;
Engineer Gates, Assistant Engineer Bal
doozier, boy OF the name Of Eshelman.
Among the injured were: Michael Hov.rn,
owner Of the mill; Theodore Lilyblade, both
probably fatally hurt.

ribly mutilated and 10 some cases only rec
ognized by their clothes.
