Charcoal.

| One Of the little things which are not
absolutely essential, but which the
keeper Of flock Of hens will be well
paid for preparing, Is charcoal. The
hens will not consume a great quantity
Of II, but they seem to need certain
amount Of it, and the good effects OF II
are admitted by all.
Charcoal Is not usually kept for sale
In the villages. and the majority OF
poultry keepers are put 10 the necessity
OF sending away for it or OF manufac-
turing 1t. An article which Will fully
answer the purpose can be made from
corncobs. and this Is the material
which generally Is made use Of in the
West.
Rake lot Of cobs In a loose heap
where they will burn freely. Let them
burn until they are charred through.
but before they are reduced to ashes
smother the fame with oats. Use no
water for putting out the blaze. The
half burned oats will not be wasted,
as the hens will eat 1t with as much
relish as that which has not been
touched by the fire. Crush the charcoal
and constantly keep up a small box OF
it In the poultry house.-Farmer's
Voice.

Stock Raising Farmer Successful.

Stock Raising Farmer Successful.
Corn. oats and wheat are the main
crops grown in Illinois. Corn Is grown
one year perhaps in a field, and oats
are put In the next year. Some fields
are devoted almost exclusively to corn.
Now this rotation of two crops may do
very well, but clover should be sown
with the oats in the spring If the soil
Is thin. livery farmer should be a
stock raiser, and one or more of his
fields should be for grazing purposes.
For such a farmer it will be an easy
matter TO prevent land exhaustion by
a continued growing OF one crop on the
same ground. Not only can he change
the grain crops, but he can change his
land under cultivation to pasturagc,
and the reverse, equally as well. The
soil, when this Is done IS never injured.
which 1t Is when used for the exclusive
growth Of one crop. The land is being
constantly enriched, especially by the
addition Of the refuse Of the fodder
which Is fed, and of the stock. The
stock raising farmer has every advan-
tage to raise big crops.

were Bishop Fantosati and Father Quirine'
OF the Roman Catholic Church. II was
said that the bishop died after the most
awful torture. No direct word in confirma-
ton Of this particular report has yet come
TO Catholic missionary authorities in this
city. "a telegram from the Convent of the
Holy Soul. in Shanghai, has been received,
however. TO the effect that forty-five thou
sand native Catholics had been mastered
in different parts OF the empire.
At the Apostleshlp Of Prayer 1t was said
the bishop mentioned in the dispatch was
In all probability Mgr. Antoine Fantosati,
Franciscan. and the titular bishop OF Adra-
hen. His home had been in Huan-Sa-Van,
which is four miles from Hem-Ceu-Fu.
The bishop had supervision over all the
Catholic missionaries in. the province of
Yun-Nan, which numbers a population OF
100000 people, 500 of whom, it Is said,
have become converts to the Catholic
Church. In a letter dated July 90 Bishop
Fantosati wrote that cruel prosecutions Of
native Christians had been carried on for
more than two months. He himself had
been pursued a whole day by men who
sought his life.

MARION ILL.,, Sept 25.-This morning at
1880 o'clock at Johnson City. five miles
north of this city on the c. & E. /. Rail-
road occurred one of the most fearful
explosions ever known in this county. A

killing the engineer and fireman. The
boiler was blown seventy eighty feet
forward and above the telegraph wire.
Engineer Padgett was blown about eighty
feet high. passing above the telegraph
poles. His neck and arms were broken.
Fireman Rains was blown back into the
tender and covered I'D with coal, where
he was found with both arms and both
legs broken. From his chin down he was
so badly scalded that the skin peeled of
in handling him. Notwithstanding this. he
survived about an hour, and the last half
of that time was conscious. His wife, a
few miles away, was sent for, reaching
him a short time before his death. He
recognized her. and passed away.
The force of the explosion threw scraps
or iron In every direction. One piece was
picked up in a street a quarter of mile
away.
The cause of the accident will probably
never be known. Mr.. Padgett was an en-
gineer of thirty years experience, and
recognized as a very careful man.
