the more the better. Construct a
wide ditch, from 10 to IL feet, so it
will easily admit a team to work with
scraper down at bottom of it. Make
it from two to four feet deep, as the
natural condition of ground will adj
nit. 1t must be constructed in such
a way that it will have natural drain
age at lower side, otherwise it would
fill with water after very heavy rains
and be of no practical use.
A plank bridge is built across the
opening and the sides planked. 1t
should be made 5h to 6 feet high to
admit the passage of all kinds of
stock or even horses below. The earth
taken out in digging is used in con-
structing the grade on each side of
bridge. The bridge, as well as grade
or dump, must be made as wide as
required by law. The deeper it is
practical to make the ditch, the less
it will be necessary to dump upon the
grade. A tight fence must be con-
structed from the pasture on each
side of the passageway close up to
the bridge. l have seen such a pass
ageway constructed on the level
prairie, but in such a case is only
practical in very dry seasons, because
in a rainy one the ditch will fill up
with water.-Lewis Olsen, in Farm

Noted Murderer Breaks jail.

James Burns, the noted murderer
of Covington county, escaped from
jail at Williamsburg last week. He
was under sentence to be hanged on
June 9. He killed a fellow laborer
while at work on the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad in Covington county
several months ago. He was indict-
ed for murder and convicted before
Judge Enochs. When Burns wa.
called up before the bar of the court
to be sentenced he created a great
sensation by roundly abusing the
Judge and insulting him in coarse
and vulgar language. He appeared
TO be thoroughly Indifferent to his
fate and made himself notorious by
his seeming GOODNESS. No particulars
are given, but it is confidently be-
lieved that Burns was assisted in his
escape by confeaerates, as the class
to which he belongs are clannish and
desperate when driven to straits.
His case was appealed to the SUI
preme Court, and the brief submit
ted was by Burns himself in his own
behalf, although it was drawn by
some lawyer who took that much in
terest in his case. A reward will
doubtless be offered for his capture,
and every effort will be made to
bring him to justice.

with a lid, clamped securely in place
by simply raising the handle to lift
the bucket. All that is needed tc
make connection is the mere hanging
of the bucket on the pipe above the
COW by a hook attached to the milk
pail for that purpose, al shown in the
cut. This is an ordinary pail with a
tight lid and glass peepholes down the
sides so that the milk can be seen. A
rubber tube runs. to the cups attached
to the cows teats. Between the cups
is a valve and chamber about the size
of a hens egg which really consti-
tutes the effective part of the machine.
The machine is set to work by a
simple turn of the valve and the sue
ton holds it in place until the milk
ing is finished. The valves and the
cups weigh about two pounds and one
man can use four or five of them to
advantage in a large dairy. The ma
chine is cleansed by passing cold wa
ter through the hose and tubes a few
moments. All parts of the bucket may
be cleansed with a brush. The cups
are new and novel in their action.
They are so constructed that they
collapse at the top first and thus COM
press the base of the teat and strip
the milk, as by hand. 1t requires from
two and one-half to ten minutes to
milk a cow. With proper equipment
one man can readily handle so. The
makers claim a COW may be milked
perfectly clean and there is no ten
dency to dry up the flow of milk

A FALSE ALARM.
Singular source of n Startling Rumof
of the Destruction of
New York.

From Mexico City there comes in a pri-
vate letter this story of how the be-
came current there in April OF the destruc-
ton of New York, reports the Times:
"On the afternoon of the Sd inst. there
was a rumor here of a terrible earthquake
and cyclone in New York. Everybody
talked about it, and each one had a worse
tale to tell; half New York was destroyed,
with 100000 people. Think Of my
anxiety l was afraid to telegraph. At
last | made up my mind to do SO, but when
| reached the cable office they showed me a
telegram just received in reply to an in
curry, which read; Not a word of truth in
it, 1 was greatly relieved. 1t seems that
two Spaniards who live here and who had
been on a visit to Europe returned to New
York that day. They are known among
their friends here as Earthquake and 'Cy-
clone, and are besides great eaters. One
of their friends in New York telegraphed
to a friend here:
Earthquake and Cyclone arrived; have
swallowed up half New York
This was the cause of the whole thing"

who but for the heroic resistance
made by the young lady in the pro-
