THREE RUNAWAYS,
Haz1eton Horses, Unused to n Lively
Town, Become Frightened.

/
Otto Brien, of Hazleton, drove to town
on Tuesday to take home new buck
board which was being made for him
here by M. Halpin. The new vehicle
was attached to his rig and the horse
left standing at AL Goeppert's. The
animal took fright at something and ran
up Walnut street and down Ridge to
Front, where it struck and damaged a
fire plug and the new blackboard. A
young child had very narrow escape
from being run down by the horse,
which continued on to Centre street
where it was caught. The blackboard
was returned to Halpin's shop for repairs.
A team from Hughes livery, Hazleton,
was attached to light covered wagon
yesterday and left standing at Neu-
burgers store. The party who had it
engaged was in the store and the team
started out and dashed down Centre
street as rapidly as they could travel.
AT Main street they turned slightly.and
one horse got on each side of a lamp
post. The stop was a sudden one and it
smashed the pole of the wagon, knocked
several holes in the forepart of the wagon
and scratched one of the horses severely.
The horses were unhitched and the
wagon repaired by M. Halpin.
A horse belonging to Alex. Shollack,
bother, ran away yesterday, from his
business place at Walnut and Washing
ton streets. Shollack had just brought
a new beer wagon direct from the shops,
and was preparing to load it up, when
the horse took fright and dashed up
Washington street. Turning the corner
at Washington and Chestnut one trace
became loose and the wagon dragged |
along sideways. 1t finally jammed up
against post along Chestnut street and
was considerably damaged. The har-
ness was also torn and disarranged, and
the horse being free, continued its flight
up Chestnut street and around the town
until captured again on Washington
street.

PaSturinp Wheat.


Pasturing wheat is not injurious to the
crop when there is a tendency to the
luxurious growth which usually prevails
on rich soils. In such cases grazed fields
will be benefited rather than otherwise.
The pasturing, however, should be done
only when the soil is in proper condi-
ton to admit of the tramping Of ami
mails without crushing the plants down
into the muddy earth. In the fall, when
the wheat is growing green and rank, a
considerable amount of pasturage may
he 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 off. 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 will be applicable in all cases, and
the farmers own observation and ex-
perience, according as the soil and the
season may favor the growth of the
plants, or the contrary, will be his best
guide in the matter.

Sawdust as Manure.

Sawdust from any kind of timber has
in itself but little manurial value and
none at all till it has become thoroughly
decomposed. 1t often serves good pur-
pose, however, in mechanically loosening
stiff clay soils and finally, when COM
pletely rotted, yielding some plant food.
When applied to land, it is generally con-
sidered the best plan to use it first as bed
ding in stables, where it acts as an alb
sorbent and saves liquid manure that
otherwise might be wasted. There is q
prejudice against sawdust from resinous
woods, and especially against applying
the same in green state to the soil. Saw
dust from the yellow pine will remain
insoluble in the soil so long that it may
be said to have no manurial value, and it
is not advisable to apply it in q fresh state
to land. First employed as bedding and
afterward composted along with barn
yard manure, it will do no harm and will
add, Of course, the fertility acquired from
the manure absorbed while in the stables
and in the compost heap.

DRAINAGE.

T.
Laying Main and Lateral Underdrains In
Wet Soils.
Few kinds of trees, none in the fruit
class, succeed in wet land. A soil too
wet for growing wheat is too wet for
trees. Where water stands in the fur
rows for days after the frost has left the
earth or after heavy rain has ceased
it needs draining before planting to
orchards, sowing to wheat or indeed al
most any other crop.
Some land is naturally underdrained
and some is sufficiently undulating to let
the surface water off readily. Such
lands do not require applied drainage.
Each farmer ought to acquaint himself
with the character If his land and act
accordingly,
In case of needed drainage system of
good tile underdrains should be provided
if possible. Drains usually are laid a.
follows: A main drain, as A in the cut
is laid, starting from low point to pro-
vide uniformly from finch to 1-inch
fall for each rod in length Of the system
from the outlet back This main may
lead along one side or through the cente.
of the plat to be drained Leading into
the main "a to B and G. are lateral tiles,
laid in parallel lines through the grounds,
usually at distance of two rods or
more apart. The system should be so
laid out as to provide depth Of not less
than q feet for the tile under the sur
face, at the shallowdst parts for all lat
erals, at the as.me time that the fall indi-

Poultry Pickings.

Meat is great need and benefit to lay
ing hens.
Is the house overcrowded? Thin out
the poorer specimens and give the others
more room. The flock will pay better.
We have little faith in the beneficial
effects Of any application to the feathers.
The habit of feather pulling when once
formed is rarely ever cured.
The best time to learn the ways and
workings Of a new incubator is before
it is filled with eggs. Put in dozen or
two, and while you are trying to hatch
them study the machine and the makers

1t is the active, Industrious hen that
lays and pays for her keep. The skill of
the poultry keeper is shown by feeding
his flock in such a way that they cannot
bolt their food and spend the rest of
their time in idleness.
A first class cock will pay for himself

CARMAN NO. l.

No. 1, which is to be introduced as
Carman No. 1, represents the early va
riety. It is Seeding from seedlings of
Mr.. Carman's own raising through sew
eral generations. AS grown in NATURAL;
poor soil and by the trench method, it is
a large yielder of tubers of desirable
quality and peculiarly white flesh.
No. 3, the late variety, Mr.. Carman
considers the greatest yielder he has yet
raised, and the tubers are Of shapely
form, large size and perfect quality.
This completes Mr.. Carman's set of early,
the No. 1; an intermediate, the No. 2.
and late, the No. 3, and that is what
this indefatigable worker has been Sim

Best Foods For Poultry.

Best Foods For Poultry.
It is difficult matter to state what is
the best food Farm Journal says on
the subject:
Fowls require heating in winter. Corn
is perhaps the best and cheapest carbona.
ceous or fatlnaking food. But wheat
and buckwheat contain carbonaceous
matter, although in smaller proportions
Fat meat, lard scraps and cottonseed
meal and clover hay also contain it.
heterogeneous matter (albumen) is re.
quired along with carbonaceous, and is
especially necessary for laying hens
Lean meat--raw or cooked-insects,
bran, cottonseed meal, linseed meal
milk, clover hay, all contain this valua-
BILE food element Corn has compare
lively little of it, wheat larger proper
ton. Succulent and bulky matter, such
as grass and vegetables, is also quite es-
sential to poultry, not only for the nutri-
ment it contains, but to dilute and sepa-
rate the more concentrated grain and
meat diet. If poultry keepers will study
the general question of the classes OF
food elements, they can frequently sub,
stitute one for the other. according as
they have this or that article at hand,
and according to the price of the various
articles i'll their nearest markets.

Experiments conducted durin. 1892
at the Cornell university station at
Ithaca, N. Y, confirm those of 1890 and
1891 in showing that very early planting
in the field is advisable. The best time
for sowing tomato seeds for the main
crop in this latitude ithaca. n. Y y, if
one has q good hotbed, is about the mid
die of March. In all ordinary cases it is
deemed safe to say that plants which
are started in March should be trans
planted at least twice; also that no gain
is secured by selecting seeds from early
or first ripe fruits without giving any
attention to the character or habit of
the plant as awhole.
Plants grown from seeds from fully
ripe fruit gave earlier and better yields
than other plants raised from a fully
grown but unripe fruit from the same
parent If one has leggy plants, he
should layer them when planting-that
is, cover half the stem in a shallow
trench. Killing tomato plants during
two years has shown no favorable re-
suits. Trimming the plants after they
have made good growth in the field is
of doubtful advantage. Rot did not
appear to be influenced by methods of
cultivation or varieties. Few varieties
were tested in 1892, of which, it is be-
ieved, none is destined to supplant those
already giving satisfaction.

The Palmetto Asparagus.

T. T. Lyon of the Michigan State Hor-
ticultural society, writing from the South
Haven substation, says that Of the six
varieties of asparagus planted in the
spring of 1890 the Palmetto has steadily
maintained it's superior size and produc-
tiveness. The plant being diecious, and
therefore every seed cross, the neces-
sary inference would seem to be that the
variety may have acquired its apparent
fixity through the process of selection.
Be this as it may, its obvious superiority
in size renders it worthy of leading po-
sition as profitable variety.
Results from the planting of crowns
from old plantations have notso far been
satisfactory, many having failed to grow
and yet others dying efter more or less
feeble start, leaving the plat weak and
thin as compared with one Of the same
variety planted at the same time and un-
der the same treatment, but Of young
