Flowing for Wheat.

When blowing for wheat 1t will be
better to let the pillow go deep, then har-
row fine, following with a land roller,
which will leave the surface in excel
lent shape for the drill. The seed can
be put in deep and the land may again
be rolled with advantage, but the most
important of all Is the blowing and
narrowing. Some farmers object TO
deep blowing, as they claim that the
fertilizer is kept nearer the surface,
and that loss occurs Of plant food dur
ing the winter, but where the subsoil
is compact there will be no loss from
deep blowing when a thrifty crop &C.
cuples the soil. Deep blowing also les
sens the liability of the plants being
thrown out by frost. especially IL the

Terrible Tragedy IL Eaacted IN an
lowe Earmerss Home.
|. John Becker, aged - years, attended
services at the church In, Breda, Carroll
County, Iowa, Sunday afternoon with his
wife and eldest daughter, spent the even
Ing breeding over some financial Affairs,
although he was q wealthy farmer, a.
farm wealth goes, and some time In the
night shot and killed his wife, his six little
children and himself. Itte
Becker was to help neighbor thrash
Monday morning. and on not putting In an
appearance about o o'clock his brother
Henry, who lives with the old folks about
twenty rods away, went to learn the rea-
son. The doors were locked and there
were no signs of life about. He tried to
get In the house, but met no response and
finally he kicked In the door and found the
dead bodies. =
Becker with his wife and baby slept In
q back room, and the three corpses lay on
one bed. The wife had been shot In the
neck with a shotgun, which stood in the
corner. The baby had been shot and Its
head crushed with the butt of a revolver.
The man was still breathing and had a
bullet hole high up on the forehead and by
his side was a revolver, two chambers
empty.
Upstairs Henry, aged s, and Lizzie,
aged @, lay on a bed with bullet holes In
their foreheads, the latter dead, the boy
still breathing, and in the opposite corner
of the same room Caroline, aged IA; Chris
tine, aged 8, and John, 3, were dead, each
with bullet hole in the forehead.
The indications are that Becker first
toh xx-tfa with ha CHI oIU
shooting her in the neck, then used the
revolver on the baby, first shooting, then
knocking out its brains with the butt. He
then went upstairs, where the five chill
dren were sleeping, and killed them. He
must have used light. for his aim was
effective, each victim being shot In the
forehead.
All but two Of the children met with in
slant death, for the blood clots were under
their heads and two lay as calmly reposed
as il in sleep. All except Henry, who Is
not yet dead, were attired in night robes.
The murderer had reloaded the weapon
while upstairs and evidently sent the sec
ond bullet into the oldest girls brain Just
before leaving the room. Going down.
stairs he stretched himself beside the
corpse of his wife and shot himself.
Becker for over twenty years lived In
the same neighborhood, in fact, ON the
same farm. He was married eleven years
ago, and after living year with his par
ents moved to the scene Of the tragedy,
which is almost within hailing distance Of
the old home.
Becker had been regarded as n prosper
Gus farmer, and only recently bought a
2OO-acre farm few miles from the old
homestead. Sunday he attended church
at Breda with his wife and some Of the
children. Later in the day he was visited
by neighbor, who says that when he left
the Becker home later in the evening they
were seemingly happy family, and there
was not an indication of the awful ira
gedy enacted few hours later.

Lord Young II said to be one OF the

driving into town from his place In the

you doing here? I thought all respect
able people were out of town."
Well" said the other, shave you
seen anything to make you n.ter your

At the time OF the general election of
1877, he was visiting at Dalmeny
House, and the report came that Lord
Wolmer, now the Earl of Selborne, had
been returned for the Western Division
by majority of three, over Mr.. I. X.

~ and said that Lord - and Lord
- had voted for Wo.mer.

Grow Navy Beans.

There is one crop grown in this com-
try that Is never up to the demand, and
that is white navy beans. AS many
bushels of beans can be grown per
acre as of wheat, and the straw is ac-
cepted as food, being better than that
from wheat. 1t is supposed THAI the
labor of growing beans takes away the
profit, but If the labor of growing beans
and wheat is compared 1t will be found
that beans can be grown at the same
cost as wheat, as better machinery for
growing and harvesting beans can now
be employed than formerly. Some
years beans bring twice as much as
wheat, and they are grown In a much
shorter time.

Farm Notes.

Every farm has a place for sheep
that no other stock can fill.
Food wisely fed will always come
back doubled if fed to a good animal,s
1t Is poor economy to keep young
stock unless it is kept growing every
day.
Make It rule to sell as little feed
as possible and to buy as little as pos
sible. ~ ~sIss%)
Thorough grubbing is the surest way
Of getting rid Of elder, sassafras and
persimmon. -
For want Of sufficient moisture
tree may starve with its roots in the
midst of plenty.
Always keep the plow sharp; 1t
makes better work and is easier for
both the team and plowman.
One advantage In using the drill or
seed sower is that the seed will be
distributed more evenly.
A light daily feed of oats can nearly
always be given to the weanllng colts
at this time with benefit.
When the tools and implements are
stored away be sure that they are
properly cleaned and painted.
The best system of cropping are In
variably those which call for the
most thorough preparation of the SOIL

regularly will aid materially In keep
