RACING TRAIN WRECKED,
Fast Freight on the Erie
DitChed by Broken
Wheel.
One Car Filled With Race Horses.
Three Grooms Lose Their
Lives.

HORNELLSVILLE,N n. Y, May 12.-One
of the worst wrecks that were ever known
here took place on the western division OF
the Erie, three miles west of here, at an
early hour this morning. Fast freight 80
was thrown in the ditch by broken wheel
and ten cars were piled up in a confused
mass.
One OF the cars that were in the wreck
was from Mercer, Pa, and contained horses
that were being taken East to enter the
races. There were eighteen horses in this
car that were attended by their grooms.
Three men were killed in the wreck, and
all of these were grooms.
There names are unknown. Foster one
of the managers of the car of horses, had
several ribs, both arms and leg broken.
It is thought that besides this he has sus-
tanned internal injuries. The physicians
say that he cannot live.
The debris of the wreck is piled on the
track so as to block all trains from Corning
to Buffalo.
Following is the list of the killed and
injured:
Killed:
s. NJ. Stewart of Mercer, Pa, owner OF
sixteen horses.
Robert Platter, Mercer, Pa, well-known
horse-buyer.
Unknown negro groom.
Injured:
L. P. Foster, Sandy Lake, Pa, owner OF
two horses.
Patrick Shannelly, brakeman.
There were eleven horses killed. Their
names cannot be learned, as Foster is in
sensible and their names are not on the
waybills. Instead of ten cars there were
thirty on the train.

This invention of DR.. R. v. Pierce,

thirty years, made a record in the cure
of bronchial, throat and lung diseases

advertised remedies for these affections.
Especially has it manifested its potency
in curing consumption of the lungs. Not

earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, even after
the disease has progressed so far as to
induce repeated bleedings from the

p1ous expectoration and extreme erna-
citation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such
cases reported to US as cured by "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" were genuine
cases of that dread and fatal disease?
You need not take our word for it They
have, in nearly every instance, been so
pronounced by the best and most ex-
perienced home physicians, who have
no interest whatever In misrepresent-
ing them, and who were often strongly
pTejudiced and advised against trial
of Golden Medical Discovery" but
who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy temulsions" I" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all
these cases and had either utterly failed
to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit
a little for a short time. Extract of
malt xvhiskey and various DreparatiOnS
of the hypophosphites had also been
faithfully tried in vain. The photo

of consumption, bronchitis, lingering
coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh
and kindred maladies, have been skill
fully reproduced in book of 100 pages
which will be mailed to you, on receipt

can then write those cured and learn

FEEpINd PIas rs WINTER.

We are quite aware of the fact that
in feeding fall and winter pigs it is
much easier TO throw few shoyelfuls
of corn into their trough than to take
the time and trouble to stir them up
some mixed food or slop, which it is
necessary they should have in order to
take them through the winter, SO that
they may be in iirst-class shape in
spring. Take what skim-milk you
may have and placing it in barrel,
or some vessel suited for the mixing
of food, put in it enough bran or
ground feed to make the whole thing
quite stiif. In this you have some
thing which will take off the monotony
of constantly eating corn, and should
the skim milk be short, water would
do almost as well. II Is
necessary to feed all that has
been mixed at one time, for If it ia
not fed right away it will become sour
and consequently give the pigs the
scours. If you should add any vege.
tables to the slop they ought to be
cooked before doing so, as young pigs
will eat great deal more of any veg.
etable if cooked, and relish them
more than if they are given raw. In
regard to the barrel used for this pur-
pose, it might be well to say that II
should be kept scrupulously clean,
giving it goood securing out at least
once week with boiling hot water. -

cording to size. The irrigated peaches
came out about one-fiith first grade,
three-f iths second and one-flfth third
while the non-irrigated peaches came
out about half and half seconds and
thirds, with very few first grade. The
variety, culture and general condi.
tons we're about the same.
In another experiment undertaken
to determine the shrinkage of dried
fruit, IL has been found that irrigated
fruit hns less shrinkage, and is, there
fore worth more in its green state than
fruit grown without irrigation. The
explanation is that the greater amount
of water in the soil allows the roots
to take up more mineral matter, and
that tho more vigorous growth Of
leaves on the irrigated plants enables
the air to contribute Il larger amount
of saccharine matter.

PROFIT IL BUTTER.

With butter, as with fruit or meat,
it is not the average quality that
brings the highest price, but the
superfine product, and here is where
the true profit comes in. The actual
cost OF producing a pound of butter is
precisely the same whether the result
is axle grease or an article of the
highest grade. The difference between
them represents care and cleanliness.
The more you give of these two the
better the product.
Tie majority of butter.makers are
willing to bestow a certain amount of
each on their work, but they will not
go beyond to fuss" or be "finicky." A"
II is too much trouble, they think ;
besides their butter is as good or per-
haps better than their neighbors.
This is doubtless true, and this is why
''average" butter is the result. But
what we all do equally we'll has no
particular value in every department
ment of life, and butter making is no
exception. 1t is the doing things q
little better than our neighbors that
makes us sought after and puts our
work at premium. 1t is the little
extra care and cleanliness in making
the butter which raises it above the
average, the additional five minute
which seem SO trihing compared with
the rest of the work, yet which bring
abont snch different results. New

AGE or SHEEP.

Sheep have two teeth in the centre
OF the jaw at one year old, and add
two each year until five years old,
when they have 'full mouth" Af-
ter that time the age cannot be told
by the teeth.
The natural age of sheep is about
ten years, to which age they breed and
thrive well, though there are instances
of their breeding at the age of fifteen
and of living twenty years. On the
Western plains sheep do not last near
ly so long, from the fact that their
teeth soon wear out while constantly
nibbling the gritty heritage of the
sandy prairie on which they Craze.
Sheep under these conditions seldom
last longer than six years and cease to
be profitable after five years. When
the teeth give out the sheep take on
digestive ailments and soon become
emacated for want OF nutrition which
they cannot get.

methods of estimating what will be the
height of horses. BY the first cord
is stretched from the nostril over the
ears and down along the neck this
distance is compared with that from
the withers to the feet. The colt will
grow as much taller as the first dis :

other method the distance between
the knee and the withers is compared
with that from the knee to the coro.

of two to ono the horse will grow no
