With all sheep the softest and finest
wool lies on the shoulders.
After burning up the trimmings and
other rubbish, give the ashes to the
trees.
To keep butter from sticking to the
churn the latter should be thoroughly
sCalded.
1t is said that 100000 acres of land in
Colorado is now watered by artificial ir-
rigation.
Pumpkins are excellent food for hogs
and cattle, and sheep soon learn to eat
them with relish.
Milk should be aerated as soon as pos
sible after it is drawn, and it should be
cooled at the same time.
Since last October 469, 685 bags OF po-
tatoes have been imported from Great
Britain, and $1,000 bags from the CONT
nent.
og-raising should go hand in hand
with dairying. Sweet whey, butter
milk and skim milk are profitable food
for pigs.
Canadian packers recommend farmers
to raise grade Yorkshire and Tamworths
as the beau ideal of bacon pigs for home
and export trade.
An exchange reports that grease weed,
which is invading the country from the
north, is likely to prove almost as dam
aging as the Russian thistle.
If cultivation is neglected this month,
it will very probably be impossible to
give the crop proper attention after
ward in the rush OF harvesting.
While the raising of stock enriches the
soil and renews its productiveness, it is
also better way to market farm prod
ucts than shipping the feed away.
As result of the tuberculosis scare
a firm of Jersey breeders announce that,
if desired, they will submit every ami
NAL sold by them to the tuberculin
test.
In summer there is less danger of i'll
results following careless feeding SO far
as the health of the COW is concerned,
but there will be the same loss OF feed
and milk as in winter.
The prevalence of tuberculosis among
Ayrshire cattle abroad is attributed
chiefly to inbreeding for the sake of Sc
curing the quality which the judges at
at the shows set SO much store by.

FARM AND GARDEN
Matter Worthy the Perusal of
Thoughtful Farmers.
ABOUT FEEDING THE cows.

Much Science Must be Brought Into
Requisition to Make the Rations Cor
rectly Balanced to Fit tho Physical
Requirements of tho Cows.
There is great deal being said and
written nowadays about standard ra-
tions for cows, and much science is
rations correctly balanced to fit the phys
ical requirements of the cows. Every
young farmer who hopes to become sue
cessful in dairying should study such ia
bles and become accustomed to technical
terms, so that he will know just what
they mean wherever he sees them. Hav-
ing done this, he should learn the cost
of different cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised or purchased,
knowing this, he should then make his
own standard ration, and whenever he
cannot get the materials for making that
standard without paying too much, he
must look for substitutes in kind and
| quality.
! The ration, as estimated, is most CON
veniently the food for twenty-four hours
! for a COW weighing between 800 and 200
pounds. This much can be done with
| books, and is q very useful part of the
| lesson. The real test of merit in this
| work comes from the actual feeding OF
cows The rations may be most scien
| tiiically correct and fed in exact proper
tons, and yet fail to produce or return
the first cost which should not have eX-
ceeded from Is to 20 cents day per COW.
The best dairymen claim to make butter
worth so cents pound on a ration not
exceeding Is cents a day. But it will be
seen that when the ration costs 70 cents
the COW must give at least one pound OF
butter day in order to pay her board
bill and do much better than this if any
money is to be made out of her.
With COW in good condition, fat and
fresh, and the ration properly mixed,
the test may be said to have just begun
| The individual characteristics of each
cow are not to be studied. One will find
big eaters and small eaters, big mixers
and small mixers, rich mixers and
those that give thin, poor milk. All the
virtues, or all the faults, are not to be
found in any single COW. A general
average must be reached. For this do
as little guessing about them as possible.
| Weigh the milk of each COW at every
milking, and test the butter fat in the
milk often enough to learn what her
standing is. Now comes the vital point
of how much to feed her. Having learned
this, the work will not have to be re-
peated during her life.

There VIII be No GIut.

FRESNO, Cal, September 9.-The gen.
eral report received from raisin vine
yards is that the first crop, while it is of
good quality, is falling far short of ex-
pectations in the matter of amount.
One of the leading vineyards, which had
166 tons of first crop raisins last year,
has the crop now on the trays, and finds
it will amount to about eighty-fve tons.
The second crop in this instance is also
far short of that of last year. 1t is plain
now that even with the most favorable
weather for drying and handling the first
and second crops the output will be less
than for the past three years, and that
there will be no glut of the market.

Decision Against the City.

CLEVELAND, September 8. - Judge
Noble, sitting in the Court of Common
Pleas, has recorded a decision against
the city and in favor of the Lake Shore
and Big Four railroads in the celebrated
Cleveland lake-front case. The prop
erty in controversy is large tract of
land lying between the lake front and
the river bed, involving several millions
of dollars. The city brought suit against
the railways to recover the property,
claiming they were occupying streets
laid out and accepted by the city fifty
years ago. Judge Noble decided that,
while the city had once accepted the
streets, they had been abandoned as
such many years ago, and no attempt
would ever have been made to reclaim
the land. The City Solicitor gave notice
of appeal, and the case will be carried
to the Supreme Court.

TROUBLESOME INDIANS.
Many Found to be Absent From Their
Reservations.

BOISE, Idaho, September 9.--Captain
Van Orsdale, Indian agent at the Fort
Hall agency, came in to-day from the
scene of the Indian trouble in Owyhee
county, taking the train at Nampa to
return to Fort Hall. He sent the Sec
retarv of State a message stating that
he found three lodges OF Fort Hall In
dams there and many from the Buck
Valley agency. He has made arrange
ments which he thinks will lead to the
return of the Indians to their reserya-
tions. Finding a band of Umatillas
were on then way to the scene for a
pow-wow, he sent q message to the
Umatilla agent asking the latter to dis
patch runners to call them back. Van
Orsdale makes no statement regarding
Indian depredations or the murder said
to have been committed by them.

THE FOREST FIRES.
Worst of AIinnesota's Appalling Disaster

Worst of AIinnesota's Appalling Disaster
Has Been Told.
PINE Cry, Mimi, September S.-The
worst has probably been told at Hinck-
ley, and it is doubtful if there will be
any very large additions to the list of
dead. Last night several bodies were
found in cellar, but they were so badly
burned that it was impossible to deter
mine whether there were three or four
bodies. Supplies are coming to Hlnck-
ley at a rapid rate, and there is no lack
in any department OF the relief work.
The relief committee appointed by Gov
ernor Nelson arrived here tonight for
the purpose OF canvassing the situation
and systematizing the relief work. No
money has been turned over to the sui
ferers as vet. All persons and bodies
that have collected cash donations have
wisely refrained from giving any to the
refugees, and there is general under
standing that every cent shall be turned
over to the State committee, which, on
account of the complete Information II
will have, will be able to handle the
funds to the best advantage. The eX-
element caused by the fire at Pokegama
has about subsidized, and now that all the
dead are buried, attention is being paid
to the hundreds of dead animals scattered
over the country. These are being
cremated as fast as found. Not vestlge
of the village remains, but the surviving
inhabitants, who have been cared Tor by
the citizens of st. Cloud, are preparing
to rebuild their homes as soon as material
can be provided. There are no fires in
the vicinity of Carlton.

SWALLOWED UP.
Town of Scotch Valley Sinks
Into the Ground.
THE INHABITANTS STARTLED

One of the Most Complete Cave-ins in
the History of That Extensive Mining
Region-The widest Excitement Pre-
vaiIing Through the Neighborho God.
LOFTY, Penn, September S.-The little
mining town of Scotch Valley, near here,
was swallowed up tonight in one OF the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
in this region. The scene of the disaster
is on the slope of Mount Lookout, and a
score of houses comprise the hamlet at
the mouth of the shaft from Mount Look
out colliery. The widest excitement
prevails through the region, and details
are fragmentary. 1t is known, however,
that the dozen houses on each side OF
the principal street of the hamlet are
completely swallowed up in the gaping
hole, and nothing can be seen OF the
other buildings but the roofs, gables and
chimneys. 1t is impossible to state &C
curately the number of fatalities, or if
there are any. Parties are exerting
every means to release the occupants of
the engulfed dwellings. One of the buried
houses has taken fire. The cavern was
caused by the giving way of timbers and
supports in the workings of the Mount
Lookout colliery, which has not been in
operation for two years and had been
neglected in consequence.
At 4: 80 the inhabitants were startled
by rumbling reports like falling rock in
the caverns of the abandoned mine many
hundreds of feet below them. The
ground trembled and swayed like an
earthquake beneath them. Report was
followed by report, and, accompanied by
other tremors, the village sank out OF
sight in the gaping cavern. In the
meanwhile about fifty miners were i'm
prisoned in the colliery. They had been
at work in another portion of the mine,
and all means of exit from the mine was
wiped out by the cave-in. James Perrin,
one of the oldest miners, gathered the
men together and started to lead them
up through tunnel, which had been
used for an air shaft. The rescuing party
on the surface had made an attempt to
push a passage through the mass of
debris which blocked the main entrance.
Failing in this, some of the more daring
entered the passage and came to where
the imprisoned miners were struggling
upward. The men were carried to the
surface, where large crowd of excited
people were awaiting them. Up to 9
O'Clock tonight all persons who could
be found had been taken from the ruins,
although a full roll of those to be ac-
counted for cannot be prepared until

KILLED HIS PARTNER.
An Idaho Farmer Confesses the Crime
and is Freed.

BOISE, Idaho, September "a States
man special from Haley, Idaho, says :;
W. w. Owens, a rancher, came into Sol
der, Logan county, last week, and gave
himself up, saying that he had killed
his partner, S. S. Adams. Ovens story
was that Adams tried to drive him away
from the ranch. lie locked up the cabin,
and told Owens to leave, finally getting
his Winchester to enforce the order.
Thereupon Owens shot him five times
with a revolver. After the shooting,
which occurred about shutdown, Owens
went to Soldier, and gave himself up.
1t appears he had invested all the money
that had been put in the ranch and had
also loaned Adams $3.50. A Coroner's
Jury exonerated Owens.

NEWS OF THE TRUSTS.
An Action Commenced to Annu1 the
Tobacco Company's Charter.

An Action Commenced to Annul the
Tobacco Company's Charter.
New YORK, September S.-The taking
of testimony was begun to-day at the
office of Einstein & Townsend in an ac-
ton brought by Attorney-GeneralS Stock
ton of New Jersey to annul the charter
of the American Tobacco Company on
the ground that it was operating a trust
against the laws OF New Jersey. The
testimony was taken before Walter
Cleary, Commissioner of New Jersey.
The first witness was j. B. Duke, Presi-
dent of the Tobacco Company. Mr..
Duke said:
"The companies that formed the
American Tobacco Company were the
Kinney Tobacco Company, Dukes Sons,
Goodwin & Co., Allen q Ginter and Kim
ball & Co."
He told how the tobacco manufacture
ers met in October at the Stuyvesant
House and discussed the pooling OF their
interests and calling it a trust. They
obtained legal advice to the effect that
the laws would not permit a trust, and
then formed a company, which they be-
lieved, and they are of the same opinion
still, complies with the law. The entire
properties Ol blle seNeTdl COln pdlicS WSIS
turned over to the American Tobacco
Company. Dukes Sons sold 100000
paper cigarettes during the year 1890.
The only way the witness could suggest
getting at the exact figures as to the Gig
arctic output would be from the books
of the company. In conclusion he said
$500 600 had been spent in advertising in
1888, and that the sales were made all
over the world.
THE BREWERY TRUST.
CHICAGO, September S.-English capt.
tai is now looking for another Chicago
investment. For some time past the
creator of the brewery trust, II. NJ. Bige-
low, has been in Europe endeavoring to
organize into a syndicate twenty of the
largest breweries in Chicago for the
present great trust, and which, when
completed, is to have a capital OF $13,-
100000, or 100000 more than the
present syndicate. Bigelow has secured
$4,000, 900, and it is said the new syndi-
cate will comprise twenty OF the twenty
four breweries in this city.
THE UMBRELLA TRUST.
New YORK, September S.-The UNI
brella trust which was organized about
three years ago under the name of the
Umbrella Company with 100000 CAPT
tai, having branch houses in nearly all
the large cities, went into the hands

pay its entire list of creditors at the rate
OF 100 cents on the dollar. The UNI
brella Company was organized by the
leading umbrella firms in the United
States.

A. y language OF the Country Must be Used

II WASHINGTON, September s. - The
il much-mooted German question was de-
+ dded by the Supreme Lodge of the
1 Knights of Pythias to-day by decisive
I vote against permitting the use of the
ritual in other than the English Ian
cuage. Two votes were taken-tirst on
f the substitution of the minority report
to give the German lodges five years
usce in which to adopt the English rit-
nal, resulting "a to ii against the minor
/ ity report. Then the majority report
was adopted by vote of 70 to 80. The
FL astOf the majority report is found in
the following recommendation
Il "That the Supreme Lodge rean-
Y nounces and affirms the declaration
= made at the Kansas City session, and
n that henceforth and forevermore the rit-
i ual used in this and all other English
speaking nations be printed in the Eng
lish language only, and when the stand
ard of our order shall be planted in any
country speaking other than the Eng
1 lish language, the ritual therein shall be
Il printed and all concerns over which the
body has control shall be conducted only
in the language of such government, to
the end that it may be known to all men
and all nations that surrounding our al
tars Pythian Knights are taught as one
OF the cardinal principles of our order
undying loyalty and devotion to the gov
eminent to which they owe allegiance,
whether it be the land of their birth or
~ the country of their adoption"
4 The report commends the Supreme
Chancellor for his action in unfolding
the law in this matter, and was signed by
Jour members of the ommittee-Stanton
/. Charter, Thomas ID. Mears, l.. p.
Hunt and Aaron Myers. John p. Pusse
Of Indiana was the author OF the minor
IVY report, which recommended that the
lodges which have remained loyal to the
Supreme Lodge, and who were working
with rituals in other languages when the
last ritual was promulgated, be furnished
With rituals in the language they were
previously using for a period of five years,
after which they shall surrender them
and use only the English. Three hours
debate was had. The principal speech
olthe minority was made by Representa-
I'VE Featherstone of Wisconsin, and for
me majority by Representative Carter
Of Colorado. 1t was argued against the
minority proposition that if five years
we're granted the German lodges they
would apply for another extension of
Time at the end of that period, and the
Whole question would have to be fought
over. Sitting in committee of the whole
the lodge has approved the unanimous
report of the committee on the statement
Of the order recommending that saloon
Keepers, bartenders and professional
gamblers be ineligible to bership,
put not affecting those who have already
eeecome members. The question has not
oeen acted upon by the Supreme Lodge

mends that the Supreme Lodge protest
against the use of the name Pythianism

LONDON, September GA Toxic dis
patch to the Central News says that the
last reports from the front tell of heavy
rains, which have impeded military OPP
erations. The streams of the Corean
Peninsula have risen rapidly, and much
of the adjacent lowlands is partially
flooded. The Japanese officers say it is
unlikely that any important battle will
be fought before the floods subside. Oc-
casional skirmishes have taken place,
they say, but neither side has tried re-
Gently to bring about decisive action.
The Japanese regulars in Corea now
number $4,000. About 10000 of these
troops comprising strong cavalry force,
have been detailed for scouting service
and the protection of the main army's
lines of supplies and communication.
About $4,000 Japanese occupy strong
position at Ping Yang. They have
thrown up earthworks and mounted
heavy guns. The Chinese army, with
about 20, 900 men, has taken up a posi-
ton facing the Japanese. Scouting par
ties from the two camps have met ire
ouentlv and exchanged shots, but the
mortality has been inconsiderable. The
MARQUIS of Saigone, President OF the
Department of Imperial Orders, has ar
rived in Corea with large suite. His
mission is to convey to the Corean King
the Emperor's congratulations In view
of Corea's achievement OF her independ-
ence. The report of great Chinese VIC
tories in Corea is pure fiction.
