City Is Shaken-Two Tramps
Missing.

der house of Abbott & Son in the sub
urbs of Marshalltown, containing tons of

place, Of whom no trace can now be
found, and who may have been killed
There were no other fatalities, but there

Farm Notes.

Note the changes which you intend

Have all live stock ready for market
before you market it.
The appearance Of things about the
house is the first that attracts atten-
ton, good or bad.
Prepare to winter the young stock
well. Don't be afraid. People will
need beef next year the same as this.
See that all necessary repairs are
made, not only upon the home build
ings, but upon the outbuildings also.
Winter is coming.
If those March and April pigs had
clover and peas to run through the
summer they are now just about
ready for corn diet

New Use for Sweet Potatoes.

The low price Of sweet potatoes has
directed attention to a new market
for the vegetable. The glucose makers
have discovered, it is claimed, that
their product can be made profitably
from sweet potatoes and are proposing
to contract with farmers in the South
west for their crops at $40 to $25 per
acre.

Feeding Condiments.

If there is any value in feeding red
pepper to fowls it is mainly in fur
nishing a seasoning to the food which
might otherwise be fat, and in this
way stimulating the appetite. Chopped
onions will have the same effect and
are certainly better for the fowls than
too much pepper. The red pepper, in
moderate quantities, Is good for the
moulting hens, acting as a stimulant
and Strengthening their rather depict
ed vitality, but the pepper should not
be made regular part Of the ration.
It is not only unnecessary when the
ration consists Of good grains in vari-
ETY., but is actually harmful if much
Of it is fed.

Don't Protect Plants Early.

IF one has lot Of shrubs and
plants that are hardy, no protection
for winter should be given until the
ground freezes, else there is danger
Of the twigs making more growth by
reason of the warmth at the roots af-
forded by the protecting material. If
the plants are not entirely hardy, Of
course protection must be given ear
lier. 1t is rarely necessary to use more
than soil in protecting the roots about
hardy plants and vines, although an
application Of fine manure free from
straw will, of course, benefit the soil

language, ate the same things, and
were interested in the same things. In
addition to this, Northerners and
Southerners had the same idea of hon.
or and fair play, and. no matter how
tacitly an agreement was made, it was
kept until one side or the other called
it off. Generals Rosecrans, Thomas
and Bragg would have been scandal
lied had they known of all the unwrit-
ten laws Of picket service in vogue at
that time; but there never was the
slightest departure from strictest mill
tary rectitude.
General Grant, when he came to
Chattanooga, was greatly amused at
the conditions on the picket line, but
he accepted them after he rode almost
into a rebel picket post one day and
was warned off in friendly spirit. On
the day that General Thomas moved
forward in force there was an end to
a truce on outposts the like of which
probably was never seen before and
has not been seen since. In the Chat
tanooga case the armies faced each
other for eight weeks, their main camps
so close that cheers in one could be
heard in the other; so close that bands
playing in one camp could be heard
in both. This seems incredible In this
age of long range guns, but it Is true

SEPARATOR FOR ASHES.

1t Is a weli-known fact that Amer
leans AS a nation are very wasteful,
and that economy is not practiced
where it very easily and advantage
ously could be. This is true not on.y
OF the rich, but of all classes, and a
good illustration is the waste that is
apparent everywhere in the burning
OF coal. Look at the ash boxes on ash
day, and notice how few people sift
their ashes. Not one out of every
ten. A glance will suffice to show that
nearly one-half of what are Gale /
ashes really contain a considerable
amount Of good coal. If the ash
sitter shown in the illustration were
used. there would not be this waste.

BARBERRY JELLY.

A delicious jelly, which is in high
repute with English people and fami-
lies of English descent in this coun-
try, is made of barberries. The bar
berry is a rather seedy fruit for pre-
serves, but it is sometimes put up, as
currants are, with a pound of raisins
to every five pounds of itself and
pound of sugar to pound OF the
whole The barberry should be pick
ed late, after ii. has been touched with
the frost, and the fruit is deep, dark
crimson. The demand for the fruit Is
so limited that it seldom sells FOL
more than ten cents quart, SO il
must be classed among our inexpen
sive preserving fruits.

CORRECT VENTILATION.

The problem of Ventilation is ret
unsolved. There are those who main
tain that chicks should not be exposed
outside at ali, while others contend
that it is necessary to success that
the house be we'll ventilated and that
the chicks should be allowed in the
yards. Both are correct If the wind
is in SUCH direction, that no drafts
come down on the chicks, and no
warmth in the house is carried away,
it is well enough to ventilate; but
when ventilation brings draughts (es-
pecially ON damp days., the chicks
will take cold. AS a cold shows its
effects near-y always on the bowels,
the cause is attributed to the food,
when the real reason is that the
chicks have been chilled. 1t is diff
cult to convince most persons that
as the chicks are always close to the
floor they get plenty of fresh air.

supporting a plate is secured inside,
the plate being of metal and provided
with perforationS. Arranged above
the plate is the crusher bar, while
projecting downward from the cover
are a number Of fingers, which sift
the ashes when they are put upon
the screen, causing all but the larger
pieces to fall through The bigger
pieces of coal can then be readily re-
moved, and after allowing the con-
tents to fall to the crusher the appar-
atus Is again put in operation. The
crusher bar breaks up the cinders into
small pieces. which fall through the
perforatiOns in the plate, while the
good coal, being harder, is not dis
turbed, but can be collected and used
again. 1t is obvious that this device
could also be used to advantage for
separating other materials, particu-
larry if it was desirable to separate
gritty from smooth substances
