RESTORING RUN OUT PAS.
TURES.

The nature and food of our common
grasses are not SO well understood as
they should be. On nearly all soils
all of the common grasses that make
up the turf of our permanent pastures
will in time grow less luxuriantly on
account of the decrease in the soil
of one element of plant food, nitrogen.
These grasses make use of the nitro
gen already in the soil, and in tiin.'
this stock gradually becomes depleted.
These pants cannot gather nitrogen.
They can only use what some other
plants have stored up for them, IL is
extremely fortunate for then America
farmer that he can grow abnndantly
another class of forage plants which
restore to the land more nitrogen than
they take from it. Because the clovers
make use of the nitrogen of the atmo,
phere they are particularly suited to
restore to the soil this element that
has been exhausted by the grasses
through long continued growth. As
u rule, whenever permanent pastures
show signs of failure, through lack OF
fertility, new vigor may be introduced
IL a slight stand Of clover can be Sc.
cured. This, of course, will be OF
short duration, only year or two al
most, unless it be white clover, but
this short growth will be sufficient tc
leave enough nitrogen in the soil &c
sustain permanent pasture grasses fol
several years. II clover .an be intro
duced the benefit will likely be lasting
as this plant is perennial.-Rural New
York.

TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.
An Estimnble White Girl I'm Florida
II Kept u Prisoner for Twenty
Four Hours. Repeatedly Outraged
and Then Brutality Murdered.

Ellaville, Fla, May 21.-Three ne
groes were lynched Saturday night in

by white g for assaulting a white
girl. 1t is reported that they were
iayed alive and then burned after be-
ing subjected TO frightful tortures.
The crime for which the negroes we're
so horribly punished was n " the
most terrible in the history Of this Sec
ton of Florida. The scene of the
crime and r~etributioI was in Lafay-
cite, the adjoining county to Madison
on the south. Miss Mamie Armstrong.
the beautiful daughter of a prominent
Lafayette county farmer, left her
home five days z to spend the night
with n neighbor who lived two miles
distant. The next day Miss Arm
strong's father went TO the house 10
priDg her home and was alarmed to
hear that nothing had been seen of
her. Mr.. Armstrong aroused the
neighborh0od and a search was made.
The woods were secured and the
Suwanee river dragged. Finally about
noon, between the home of Mr.. Arm
strong and the neighbor's house, the
handkerchief Of the girl was found
clinging To a bush and all around was
evidences of a desperate struggle.
The searchers followed the trail thus
indicated. finding all along that the
girl had been dragged into the woods.
After proceeding for a mile the corpse
Of Miss Armstrong was found in a
thick clump of bushes. The body of
the girl was in a horrible condition.
Every shred OF clothing had been torn
from 1t and she had been assaulted.

her head crushed and her throat cut.
Ii was evident that the girl had made
a desperate fight, for under her nails
were found black pieces of cuticle
which she had torn from her assaiI-
ants.

threatened with instant death unless
he confessed. lie did so and implI-
Gated Sam Crowley and jim Brooks.
Echols said that they kept the girl for
t~wenty-fOur hours before killing her,
forcing her in the meanwhile to re-
pe:ltedly submit TO the most horrible
indignities. For the greater part Of
the time, the negro said, Miss Arm
strong was unconscious. Having Sc
cured the negroes implicated 10y Ech-
OILS, the white men proceeded with the
three iiends to q dense swamp on the
Suwanee river, where they were made
TO suffer torture similar to that they
bad inflicted on the girl. The white
people are terribly aroused, and sN ear
