A Queer Accident.

Funny accidents frequently occur
on railroads, but one on the Chicago
and Alton on Thursday night is
about the queerest that has been
recorded recently. Conductor Bras
nell, of Bloomington, left that place
with train of twenty-eight cars
bound for Roodhouse. In the center
of the train was a Chicago and Alton
box car loaded with coal. The train
was not uncoupled by the trainmen
until it reached its destination, when
it was found that the car of coal was
missing.
An investigation located the miss
ing car near Prentice, forty miles
from Roodhouse. The car had
jumped the track while the rain was
running at speed of about forty
forty miles an hour, and bad cleared
the rails by about ten feet. The real
end of the train had afterward gone
against the head end with a slight
jar, and the cOuplers, which work
automatically, had recoupled the
cars together, leaving out the car Of
coal, which is standing on the ground
near Prentice, entirely off the COM
pany's right of way. The car die
not turn over.-[Springfield telegram

Agricultural and Live Stock Department.
RESPECTFULLY,

Our focks are better protected at
night by good fences than they
formerly were, and we do not hear
so much about the depredations of
sheep killing dogs. A good woven
wire fence makes very secure fold.
Some cover the ground in the
sheep yard with two or three feet of
straw as winter begins. After the
sheep or other stock tramp this well
down the ground will not freeze; it
takes up the melting SHOWS of winter
and spring, and sheep go dry shod
and clean. There is certainly much
in this practice to commend it.
A very fine flock of sheep will soon
result from a very small investment,
if the sheep are of the right sort and
they are given the right care. The
cost above the returns from the wool
will hardly be felt, and the flock
will still remain; and then the farm
will be richer and cleaner.
The quiet Shropshires are favorite
sheep with many; they produce a
rather, heavy crop of wool, and the
ewes bring enough twin lambs to in
crease their number at least Is lambs
to 10 ewes. The lambs are plump
and good sellers, and carry a good
percentage of high priced meat.

A TERRIFIC CYCLONE.
Three Person Killed ut Madisonville
Tennesses-H0u-ps Wrecked.

Three Person Killed at MadisonviIIe,
Tenn~sses-Hou-+S Wrecked.
ATHENS. Tenn, March 5.-A ter.
rifle cyclone passed over portion of
Madisonville and Monroe county
last night, with disastrous results
Early in the evening strong wind
arose and at 1880 last night cyclone
about sixty or seventy yards wide
struck portion of Madisonville,
killing three persons, wounding ten
or twelve others, and completely de-
stroying twelve or fifteen houses and
several barns. The killed are:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Moser, Ed. l..
Horton
Tee Horton residence and the
Robinson residence are both COM
p etc wrecks, not one timber being
left above another on the fOunda-
ton. The escape of the inmates OF
these two houses, eight in the Hor-
ton and three in the Robinson, seems
miraculous, some Of them being
blown distance Of a hundred yards,
yet escaping in some cases without
scratch.
The most frightful feature of the
tornado was the manner in which
Jack MOser met his death. He was
hurled by the winds force from his
house a distance of 700 wards unit
his progress was impeded by wire
fence. which completely severed his
head from the body.

Horses.

The small horse is the cheapest
kind of horse in all our markets and
is the hardest to sell at any price.
Breed for size, style and beauty in
any breed, and the prices will be
yours.
Where are all the horses to come
from? The steady increase of the
three abreast heavy teams in the CT
ties shows the great demand for the
crowded streets where heavy loads
must be hauled to and fro from the
depots.
There is no better way to keep our
horses from CALLING than to battle
them with water every time they
come in sweating, sponging every
place upon which the harness bears.
If CALLED, add good soap and follow
with brine.
The American farmer is up to
business principles in all things bet
ter than in the rearing of horses.
The difference between the well ma
tured draft horse to-day and the
scrub is 500, and all this difference
stands for clear profit, less the cost
of extra service fee.
Raising geldings to work in the
fields is folly. Sell them and keep
mares which will pay their way
while raising colts. Clinging to the
mares and raising better horses will
change our tune by and by.
Exposure has as much to do with
the breaking down of our horses as
over work. A sound horse should
be as good at 20 as at any other age,
yet our old horses cannot stand much
fatigue.
Our work teams need muscle
rather than meat; vigor and strength
rather than fat. Nothing is so good
for them as alternate feeds of corn
and bran. For the roadster, the
breeding mare and the colt the oats
come in just right, with bran and
linseed meal.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-03-10

The curculio is a thing not now
much to be dreaded, and where
plums are planted in large quanti-
ties It's ravages are hardly felt; it is
the isolated tree which suffers. The
best varieties of plums are very prof.
liable.
1t is pity that every one is not
interested in birds, be his occupation
what it may. The hOrticulturist
loses much unless he is acquainted
with these constant companions, for
their interests are so common.
Remove and destroy all diseased
fruits and plants as scrupulously as
you preserve the sa,able ones, and
there will be more salable ones to
preserve. Keep the orchards, gar
dens and green houses clean, allow
ing no rubbish about on which fungi
can breed.
The average good farmer is a poor
fruit grower. Four out of five new
orchards will be neglected; there
will be little protection of the young
trees from stock, little pruning, and
little spraying when they come into
bearing. Those who take pride in
their fruit orchards will make some
money, while the rest will quit the
business in disgust.
The cutting of the old canes from
the raspberries and black berries can
be done at any time after the fruit.
ing season is over, but it is easier
and more rapid work while the
ground is frozen, for the roots are
then solid and give a firmer resist
ance to the pruning hook. Have a
V shaped hook at the end of a good
handle, and the work can be quick.
| ly done, if the inside of the hook is
kept very sharp.

Dairy.


1t has been demonstrated over and
over that the less butter is worked
the better it will be, other things
being equal. In proper conditions
and practice it can be entirely dis
pensed with, further than to get out
the surplus water. Ii the granular
system of churning is practiced, and
ample time taken to allow the water
to drain out, no further working will
be needed than to get the granu1es
together.
Some may turn up their noses at
the scientific names for disease
germs, but there will need be less
concern about them il we will en-
ploy scalding water more freely
about our butter utensils. Fetid
germ life on improperly cleansed
vessels about the dairy debases the
quality of milk and butter, call il
what we may. The remedy is water
at boiling heat.
There is a large list Of soiling
crops, but arrange to SOW a small LOT
OF barley about the lst Of August
and two months later there will be
an abundant crop for the cows which
will afford pasturage until shut of

crop has been fed off, or after the
last blowing Of the corn.

ISSUES AND CANDIDATES FOR 1900
Congressman Bland Thinks the Money
Question viii Dominate all Others.

Congressman Bland Thinks the Money
Question Will Dominate all Others.
Congressman Richard p. Bland, of
Missouri, in q recent interview says:
"The approaching contest for po-
litical supremacy in this country
will be fought out between the Demo
cratic and Republican parties on the
lines of the Chicago platform OF 1896,
with William j. Bryan as the Presi-
Dental candidate of the Democrats,
and probably William McKinley
again as the candidate of the RepuL-
cans. The Democratic party will,
undoubtedly, adopt substantially
the Chicago platform, especially that
part of it that demands the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of Is to l..
money question, an issue that will
dominate and control all others.
1.-The forces that are fighting for
free coinage of silver are also fight
ing against trusts, large standing
armies and imperialistic tendencies
generally. The Republican party has
become the party of Capitalization
of power, an advocate of trusts, i'm
perialism and enormous taxation
and contraction of the volume of
money in which the taxes are to be
paid. The whole tendency of the
party is to saddle upon the people of
this country an enormous debt and
an enormous system of taxation,
with big armies and big navies at
the back of plutocracy.
The cause of the people is inten-
sified by the attitude of the impe-
rialists in their attempt to dominate
and control the poor people of this
country. The old fight between
Hamiltonianism and Jetfersonian
Democracy is again to be fought
over, in order to save our republi-
can institutions.

Poultry.
Let the layers and the mothers
among the flock have a quiet time
of it. A sufficient number Of cocks
in flock is enough, and too many
are a dear possession.
1t pays to get the ducks to laying
early, whether one wishes to mark et
the young for broilers or to keep
them for the holiday trade. The
feathers from the duck are no small
part of the profit if the fowls are not
sold until late in the season.
If you have not little time to de-
vote to the hens you have no right
to expect them to devote their ener-
gies to you. If you have failed to
get eggs last month something is
wrong with the egg machinery, or,
more probably, with the engineer
himself.
Equally good results can not be
had with the poultry every year
therefore, you should not be easily
discouraged it you are beginner.
For some reason now and then a
season does not seem wholly favora-
BILE, and the returns will not be sat
isfactory, however skillfully the
business may be managed. Let all
such failures arouse us to more de-
termined effort.
Some who are opposed to capOniz-
ing contend that ii cOckerels are
separated from the hens at an early
age they may be grown to large
size and still be excellent food for
the table. They claim that a con-
siderable number of the birds sold in
Partisan markets are but cockerels
which have never been allowed to
run with the hens.
The breeding of chickens for eggs
and the poultry market requires no
particular skill in judging of fancy
points, but can be carried on success
fully by following the directions of
practical men. Never lose faith in
pure bred stock, for it is a mistake
not to begin with high blood in the
fowls; but select good layers rather
than hens with faultless decora-
| tiOnS,

Breeders of sheep should carefully
select for sale at least 10 per cent. of
their older sheep every year, and
retain the same proportion of the
eve lambs; and should be cautious
lest there be too much inbreeding.
Keep up the infusion of young blood,
and this will steadily enhance the
value of the flock.
Irregular attention through the
winter will tell in the spring upon a
fleece Of wool otherwise excellent
the sheep will suffer, and so will the
owners. An expert buyer can tell
you pretty accurately how you have
handled the flock since they left
their pastures.
