A STEAMER WRECKED.
The City of Savannah Run Ashore On
the South Carolina Coast.

The steamship Birmingham. OF she Ocean

Ga. bringing portion OF the twenty passen-
gers and crew of the steamship City o.

ton to Savannah. on Hunting Island, ffteer
miles from Beaufort, S. c.. AZ a. n.
After leaving Savannah TIE City OF Savan-
nan encountered one storm after another.
When finally her commander, Captain Saw
age saw that he would be wrecked he wal
sore perplexed. The steamer had beat about
all day. when her steam whistle was knocked
of and the water began pouring into heI
hold and threatened 10 stop her engines
Seeing that the ship could last only few
hours longer, Captain Savage headed her foI
shoal water. The stokers were piled with
stimulants and food, and every effort made
to reach shoal water before the steamer sank
All night long the vessel ran in the storm.
the passengers expecting death every min
ute. Early next morning the steamer was
heard humping and scraping against the bot.
tom. and the passengers knew they had
reached shoal water.
The vessel was run as far aground as pos
sible. She had not been gotten into an easy
place, however. The huge waves broke over
her with increasing force, and beat the boat
30 pieces. The cabins were smashed and
carried away, first on one side and then
another. Captain Savage and the officers
and crew used every Effort to prevent loss OF
life among the passengers.
In the afternoon a small boat with three
sailors who volunteered from the crew was
sent out to find g. place on the shore where
the boats could b!nd.
The following morning the two lifeboats,
the only two left, were manned. the first
officer being in command OF one and the
second officer of the other. Four of the
strongest sailors OF the crew We're picked
out for each boat. The boats were filed
with women and children, about fifteen in
all, including the stewardess and female en-
ployes of the Savannah. DR.. Ct. W. Lamar
and another passenger, being young and
able-bodied men, were called upon to go in
the boats, which they did. DR.. Lamar's
wife and two little children were in his
boat.
The boats set out for the shore. and sailed
out of sight ofthose on board. They arrived
safely at Coffin Point, st. Helena Island.

GETTING TREES FROM THE WOODS.


Laws against obtaining money under
false pretences might we'll be enforced
at this season of the year against those
who dig in the woods small or large
trees and sell them to unwary village
or city residents for transplanting to
decorate the streets. The trees may
be true to name, but even the most I'M
skilled forester ought to know by look
ing at them that there is very small
chance Of any Of them making a useful
growth. A long pole, the size and
length suitable for a hop pole, having
at it's lower end few pieces of roots
the size of ones thumb or finger, gives
little promise of making fine tree.
1t may be done by carefully leaving
three or four buds, not sprigs, at the
top where the future branches are to
be. Usually, however, the top is either
left only slightly trimmed, or else
every bud is cut clean out, and the
tree takes it's chances of nature push
ing some buds out of the wood Just be-
low the cuts. This is an exhaustive
process, and the buds do not make
much growth the first season. At the
best, forest tree thus managed is far
inferior to the nursery trees that have
had the advantages of frequent cult
walton, have symmetrical tops and
making transplanting SO IS to insure
rapid growth a comparatively easy
matter. Boston CultivatOr.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Avoid the pruning of large limbs.
The water vessels should be cleaned
out daily.
Poultry requires good food if eggs
are desired.
Be careful to provide dry quarters
in wet weather.
Many young trees are killed every
year by overbearing.
Ducks will suffer from rheumatism
if they have damp quarters.
At eleven weeks old a Pekin duck
should weigh at least five pounds.
Sunshine should be admitted into
the poultry house whenever possible.
Turkeys consume more food than
chickens, but they also bring better
prices.
It is to the interest of the poultry
keeper to supply food which will pro-
mote laying.
Soft shelled eggs, double yolk eggs
and other Irregularities indicate that
the hens are too fat.
Watch the fruit trees, and when
any insects appear spray with Paris
green or other insecticides.
When pruning protect all large
wounds with coat of melted grating
wax or coat of coarse paint.
A young queen will begin to deposit
eggs ten days from birth, and is cred
tied with laying 5000 eggs daily.
It is generally conceded that July is
the best time to prune trees, although
many prefer doing it at other times.
Sort all fruit before Offering for
sale. More can be obtained for fruit
of uniform size than for that which is
not graded.

HANDLING OF COLTS.

There are many ways of handling
colts at weaving time. Some of these
methods are good and some are bad,
but the one that is most common, and
at the same time the worst of all, is to
remove it to some back pasture, where
it can run with other stock and he out
of sight of its dam. There it is de-
prlved of its prepared food, expected
to thrive on grass, fight flies in the
sun and get water with the other stock
at the spring or trough. The result is
that the colt goes into winter quarters
thin i'll flesh, stunted in growth, with
dropped ears and rough coat Of hair.
1t holds its own through the winter if
extra feed and care be given it, but
good, thri 'tY growth is out of the qUes-
ton. Ne York World

COOL cHURSISG IN THE MORNING.

COOL CHCRSISG N THE MORNING.
On hot days, 1t is good plan to
have the churning ready the first thing
in the morning. Set one of the men
or boys at it before breakfast, and see
how much better it is to get it out of
the way before the sun gets very high.
Always throw a handful, or more, OF
salt into the churn when the cream be-
gins to granulate. 1t assists in the
separation of the butter, and the but
termilk will draw off much more free
~. Keep the temperature at sixty
degrees, using ice in small Jumps to
accomplish the desired result. Neg
lect to do this, will surely spoil the
butter. Agriculturist.
