Mrs. Mary IL. Root, of st. Joseph, who

BILE with one of her woman tenants and
struck her. She was arrested and found
guilty of assault and battery, but she APP
pealed the ease to the Circuit Court,
where the justice court verdict was sus-
tained. A day was set for sentence, but
she failed toappear, and a bench warrant
was issued. She was fined $50 and costs,
amounting to $50. or two months in jail.
To the surprise of her friends she took the

A Corn Show.

A novel enterprise has been inaug-
urated by the merchants Of number of
towns in New York State, who offered
prize for the best ten ears Of corn
grown by any farmer who exhibited
the same at their several stores. At
one Of these more than 100 farmers
took part in the contest. The exhibit
ton Of the best ears from this large
number Of farmers was an event of
more than usual interest. The judges
spent over two hours in passing on the
merits of the, specimens, and when, mt
last, the lucky farmer carried off the
prize horse blanket, the crowd voted
the "corn show" great success, and
asked for another next year.

The Cost of Silnue.

There is much difference of opinion
on the cost Of producing ton of silage.
Local conditions of labor, real estate
values, fertility of soil, facilities for
handling crops, etc, are important fac
tors in this matter. In 1892 the writer
asked the owners of thirty-five silos
in Indiana, "How much does your silage
cost you per TOM" The lowest csti-
mate was % cents, and the highest
about 81. Taking all factors into ac-
count, Prof. G. S. Plumb estimates the
cost at $1.5O per ton at Lafayette, Ind.
No doubt in many places the cost can
be materially reduced below this sum.

Foreign Farming.

Grain is cultivated In Bulgaria in the
most primitive manner. The ground is
not MANFRED, nor Is there a rational
succession of crops; when the ground
has yielded a few crops it is laid up for
one or two years. Even more primi-
tive are the implements used for tilling
the soil. In fact, a wooden pillow and a
hoe, both of which. ought only to be
found In an agricultural museum, COM
plete the outfit. The government, how
ever, Is making every endeavor to in
troduce more rational method Of farm

Attempted Murder in a Prison.

Boot. one of the four convicts who
nearly killed Deputy Warden Northrup
in the recent prison riot at Jackson, broke
from his cell Saturday and attempted to
murder Keeper Mellencamp, who only es-
capped with serious injuries. 1t occurred
at the hour when the guards shift and
wall men go off duty. Prison officials
believe the coDvicts made bold attempt
to escape. Boot had sprung his cell lock
with piece of his broken bedstead, and
thus opened his cell door, the tier lock
not being turned. Other keepers, after II
desperate struggle. placed Boot in his
cell and hung him up by the hands for
punishment

Many of the most profitable opera
lions in commercial life depend in the
first instance upon very simple facts.
Most persons would pass by without
observing the barreling of apples as
case in point. If apples were placed
loosely in barrels they would soon rot,
though passing over hut very short
distance of travel; and yet when proper
ly barreled they can be sent thousands
of miles, even over the toughest ocean
voyage, in perfect security, says Nee
hans Monthly. This Is owing to fact
discovered years ago, without any one
knowing particularly the reason, that
an apple rotted from a bruise only
when the skin was broken. An apple
can be pressed SO as to have indenta-
lions over its whole surface without
any danger of rotting, provided the skin
Is not broken. In barreling apples,
therefore, gentle pressure Is exercised,
so that the apples are fairly pressed in
to each other, and 1t is impossible for
any one fruit to change its place in
the barrel on its journay. Apples are
sometimes taken out of barrels with
large indentations over the whole sur
face, and yet no sign Of decay. In these
modern times we understand the rea-
son. The atmosphere is full of micro
scopic germs which produce, fermenta-
ton, and unless they can get an en-
trance into the fruit rot cannot take
place. A mere indentation without
rupture Of the outer skin does not per-
NIT Of the action Of these microbes.
This Is simple reason why the early
observation enabled the barreling Of
apples to be successful.

for warming the poultry house, the
heater, illustrated below, supplies heat
and ventilation or supply of fresh,
warm air. Any kind of fiat top stove
or even kerosene stove will give suf-
ficient heat. The size of the stove
should depend on the size of the house,
but 40 degrees Is a sufficient heat. The

In the Wake of a Drouth,

AS see many inquiries about clover
seeding, I will say that our most sue
cessful way Of late years has been to
sow our cloverseed on fall-sown rye.
as soon as the land Is in fit condition
to harrow, Ind then to SOW the seed
and harrow it twice over with a light,
slanting harrow. This year we had a
new experience, being left short of pas
ture from the drouth of 1893, says a cor
respondent of Hoard's Dairyman. We
turned fourteen sows, with one hun
dred and eight pigs, on thirteen acre
field Of rye, which was seeded to clover,
as above indicated, when the rye first
started, SO as to be good pasture. We
turned in eight cows from time to time;
Of epurse,s we gave up all hope, so far
as the clover-seeding was concerned
but TO our surprise this fall we had the
finest stand of clover. 1t seems that
the tramping, and In addition, manure
deposits, had the desired effect, but will
add that the Land is sandy land. We
plowed four acres of this same lot June
20, and resolved 1t to rye in order to
have new and fresh PASTURE; 1t grew
finely and made good pasture, but
when eaten down it did not continue
to grow, as we expected, but died out
entirely, showing that winter rye sowed
that time of the year will not stand pas
turing.

Potatoes as Stock Food.

Prof. Henry has a valuable article in
the Breeders Gazette summing up
about all that Is known on the subject
on the value Of potatoes as food for
live stock. He gives the conclusions
of Fjord, the great inventor or feeding
stuffs in Denmark, namely, that four
pounds of potatoes furnish as much nu-
triment to animals as one pound of rye
or barley, and also the result of his
own experiment in feeding potatoes to
hogs. They were carefully weighed,
cooked in iron kettles, and enough corn
meal used to make thick pudding or
mush. These experiments show that
AS pounds of potatoes are equivalent
to 100 pounds of cornmeal In pig feed
ing. He has also shown by experiments
that cornmeai has somewhat higher
feeding value than Oarley, and con-
cludes that four pounds of potatoes are
worth as much az one pound OF barley
or rye. and almost as much as the same
weight OF cornmeal for hog feeding.

TWO ABLE KICKERS.
One II Hoosier, the Other Jackass,
and the. Man Won.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democracy
In the days of San Gabriel Canon mining
boom in the 'T0s a large boncd and gigantic
Indianian was knownto hisrough butkindly
associates as Kicking Tom" He had won
the nickname by reason of the terrific force
with which he could launch his e reat, sinewy
foot against an opposing object.
One day n miner brought into camp
a Mexican burro, which soon obtained a
WIDE celebrity as a vicious animal, who,
when excited, would attack man or beast
with desperate fury. Several mountain
ponies had been kicked TO death by him, and
more than one man had nearly lost his life
by the savage. heels of the burro. SO eX-
citing had become the record of the jack's
achievements that they became the subject
ofuniversal conversation ard inquiry among
the miners. Sitting i'll their cabins they
spun wonderful tales of what he had done
and was capable of doing.
He is hcliveicSt kicker going, " said one.
You are right. old man. That beast can
kick the hair off a mans head without
touching the skin" replied one of his COM
panions.
That was touching Tom in a tender
place, and, after u moments reflection,
he spoke up with the remark:
lie can't outkick me-" The observation
was received with amazed silence.
Lord, Tom! Why, he'd make mince
meat of you in 4 minute
Would he?" replied the athlete In
dianian. Then he can have the chance.
I'm ready to kick for 500, and may the
best man win
or thu best jack interposed a com
panon.
Il mean what l say, old man, so don't
be To" spry with your tongue" And Toms
brow lowered in gathering anger. His
friend apolugiZed for the jest and the crowd
dispersed.
The next day the rumor went Wild
through the camp that Tom was willing
TO kick the hurrn for a wager. In the
dusk Of the evening the miners gathered
in from their work and discussed the SUBJ
iect in all its bearings. Opinions as Ia the
match was about evenly divided. If any
thing. Tom was the fayorite. Under these
circumstances a mill for 500 a side was
easily arranged between the beast and
the man, and it was decided that the con-
