Chicago, Aug. 20.-Swift vengeance
was meted out Thursday afternoon TO
a man who made a murderous assault
upon Mrs. Paulina Fenske, wife Of Carl
Fenske, poor German farmer living in
Leyden township, one mile from the VIII
lage OF Franklin Park. and about -
miles from the center of this city.
Early Thursday morning Carl Fenske
left his wife and four children, whose
ages range from one to four years, in
their humble cottage and went to the
farm of John Hansen, two miles west.
Nearly all his neighbors were there, too.
helping Hansen in threshing, as is Gus
tomary in little farming communities.
About noon stranger stopped Mt the
Fensle home. and. explaining that he
had walked long way and was weary.
asked If he might come i'm and rest.
Learning that Mrs. Fenske was alone.
he assaulted her with the butt OF n pis-
toll and rendered her unconscious The
man then searched the house, evidently
hoping TO find money. Failing to do so,
he struck the woman again on the head
and then ran from the house Mrs.
Fenske was so badly beaten that she
may not recover. She was able TO
crawl n quarter OF a mile and give the
alarm at neighbours house.
A party Of Infatuated farmers, armed
with rifles. revolvers. pitchforks and
other implements, started in pursuit of
the man, who had fled from the lonely
farmhouse into the nearby cornfeld.
The man, who was a stranger in the
locality and whose identity is still un-
known. made n vicious fight for his
life. He was armed with two huge re-
volvers and he fought his pursuers UNI
I'll his body was riddled with shot and
he fell helpless TO the ground.

An excellent way TO dispose OF
broken crockery that at times accumu-
lates about the dooryard Is to pound
the pieces until they are as fine as
grains of corn, and put them into a
box or scatter them over the ground
where the poultry can have access 10
them. There should always be box or
bin in the yard-preferably under cover
where the fowls can get TO IL at all
times, into which broken oyster shells,
coal, broken plaster, crushed and
burned bone, crushed croekery, etc,
should be put. The box should never
be empty.
a subscriber asks about feeding
broken glass to poultry. We have never
made practice OF using IL, but know of
a number of poultry farmers who DO
and like IL. They also claim that no evil
effects result from its use. 1t seems TO
be an unnatural and unnecessary ar
ticle 10 use, especially when gravel,
bones, crushed stone, crockery, etc,
are so easily obtained and prepared for
use.
Most OF us know from experience
how sharp are the edges of broken
glass; how fowls can swallow splinters

London, Aug. 25.-An official dispatch
from Simla announces that Fort Maude
in the Khyber pass has been captured
by the Afridis after desperate fighting.
The garrison, which was composed OF
native levies. known as the Khyber
rifles, retired with the loss OF three
men. The Afridis afterward burned
the fort.
Simla, Aug. 25.-Later details of the
capture OF Fort Maude by the insur-

A great many breeders upon having a
hog or pig ovcr-heated, or very warm,
sttempt to reduce the temperature by
dashing n bucket of cold water over it.
Very often the result is a dead pig in a
very short time. The proper way to
cool OFT a pig just received in a crate
or one that is oycrheated, is 20 let IL lie
still and commence pouring water
gradually on its nose, continuing for
the space of two minutes on the nose,
and up 20 the top of the head. Then
when the head is thoroughly cooled
proceed backward gradually. not pour.
ing too rapidly at first, till you have
reached the tail. In this way the hog
will be cooled of without danger of any
bad effects from the overheating.-

Because a flock has the run Of a

plentiful supply of gritty material il
found by the hens. a calculation will
show that, when the hens are search
ing daily over every portion Of the
range only a short time is required for
them 10 appropriate all the gritty ma
terial that can be utilized. II is not
every kind OF hard substance that will
answer the purpose. Round gravel ~

They Preserve Ihetr Nttniity nNN

A writer In the Journal OF the Frank
lin institute calls attention again 20
the danger of disease germs in soils.
He says:
IL has been observed I'm France that,
in localities where animals are Inferred
which have died of Charlton, the germs
OF this infectious malady persist in
the soils for many years, and that, es-
pecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
OF communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case IL was
observed that many sheep which were
pastured in a field in which, two years
before. a single animal which had died
of Charlton was buried, were infected
with the disease and died. In like man
ner. IL Is entirely probable that the
germs of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, TO finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the own
ers OF swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists 10 avoid infect
ing the soil by carcasses which are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema-
ton is the only safe method OF dispos-
ing Of such infected carcasses. The
Investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases OF an in
fectious nature due 10 these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality In the soil Among others may
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanus,
and the microoe producing the bubonic
plague, which retains it's vitality in the
soil, and thus escapes entire eradica-
ton. For the reasons given above, the
ugronomist, who also has az heart the
health and welfare OF man and beast,
cnn hardly look with favor upon any
OF the plans which have been proposed
for the use Of sewage from large cities
for irrigation purposes. There is
scarcely time in any large city when
some infectious disease, due TO the ac-
tivity Of germs, does not exist, and the
sewage is liable at all times TO be con-
taminated herewith.
