TIIE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1804 T WELTE TAGES.

Btable manure, and, moreover, give a 3avor which Is delightful to the stock. Thls shows that a crop of tobacco has .aken much from the soil In which It grew, and is an exhaustive crop. Procure from he city shop. all such waste possible, nd put uprn your meadows. Pekin and Aylesbury ducks are dlfflMlt ti distinguish one from the other, -except by persons conversant with each breed. The point of difference are, the TVKln Is generally larger, and -ome-time creamy-white, with a deep-yellow illl. The Aylesbury is always pure White, with Mil of a delicate flesh color. The legs of the rekln are- reddish oracge in color, those of the Ayleabury som lhades lighter. To provide a dut tath for the fowls k is ri'jt necessary to keep dust In a box. pade up a space In the corner of the Vard about four feet square end a foot deep and sift the dirt so as to have it lieht and fine. 1st it be done on a dryday, and should it become wet from rain repeat the work the next dry day. After the jirst timo it will require but a few minutes" time, and thi hens will enjoy it very much. I'p to a. certain point all food is utilised in supplying the constant and riatural waste of the system. A plant or an anim.il must Ihj full fed. After an animal waste is supplied, then comes a demand for s.i much to furnish animal heat. After tle-se demands have been met. and nvt until then, surplus production becomes possible. Moreover, the litter object is best Rained by the careful feeder and by a perfectly balanced ration. Where sheep are pastured upon clover ihr re is a constant checking- of the plant, and this predisposes it to the forming of seed. Thus it produces a heavier seed ?rop thin when the common practice is followed of allowing: it to prow until in blossom and thn cutting it close to the ;round; but if the clover is fed off. Canada thistle and other biennial weeds in it should he mown down to the surface with a scythe. The sheep will not take sufficient otre of these to absolve you from giving1 some attention to them. The buckwheat crop is not one that most farmers would think as available for helping to a clover seeding. Yet it is a fact that whnn buckwheat is sown ftbout the 1st of July and some clover seed is sown with it there is usually a good catch of clover in the fall. If the soil be sandy this clover is more likely to be a good crop the next season than when it is sown on such soil with early spring grain. Most of the buckwheat ?rcwn is sown on land that is too wet n spring to be fit for any spring grain. Dn such land there is no use sowing llover seed. There may be an apparenty good growth in the fall, but it will re drowned out by water or hoven y frost during the winter. The long tap root of clover is no protection against heaving out by frost. Hint to Housekeeper. Always cut onions, turnips and carrots across the fibre. Salt robbed on the bl.vk spots on dishes will remove them. Use a short-hanlled paint brush to wash the outside of window sills. If sassafras bark is sprinkled among dried fruit it will keep out the worms. Clothespins bailed a few minutes and quickly dried, once or twice a month, become more dural. le. Unslacked lime is excellent for cleaning small articles in steel, such as jewelry, buckler and the like. If a shirt bosom or any other article has been s"or.-hed in ironing lay it where the bright sunshine- will fall directly on It. To clean the tea or offee pot fill it with water and put in a piece of hard toap. Set it on the stove and let it Ihjü an hour. It will b- as bright as new. To take the brown discoloration off

of cups in which custards are baked rub "With damp fi.-nnel dipped in whiting. Scouring sand or sand soap will answer the purpose. To Take Out Mildew Mix soft soap with powdered starch, half as much salt, and the juice of one lemon; lay it on the Iart. on both sides, with a brush; let it lay on the gruss day and night till the stain comes out. Among several articles recently patented is a water-cooler which does not require ice. It is a covered receptacle of cellular brick ware, manufactured clay, sawdust and asbestos fibre. In the process the sawdust is burned out, leaving the product cellular, or porous. The receptacle, with the water to be kept cool within, stands in a tray of ganvanize.l iron, which holds water to a depth of two or three inches. By reason of the porosity of the oder and the forces of capillary attraction, the water in the tray constantly rises through the cellular walls of the receptacle, and is as constantly evaporated thereby keeping the water inside as cool as it is usually drawn from a well or spring. Household Furnishing Ileview. A very convenient, one might almost say necessary, article of kitchen furniture is a strong stool such as those used in offices, rt should, however, be only two feet hizh. which is the proper hight for the average person to sit on and work easily at a table. Some women are known to object to them because they think that they cause a maid to fall into lazy habits; but, surely, a maid who cannot be trusted to rest herself when shs can conveniently do so, or at least to do her work in as easy a way as she can, is hardly worth having. Many kinds of work in the way of preparing things for cooking can be done Just as well sitting as standing, provided the seat is high enough to give the arms full force; and certainly maid as well as mistress should have the benefit of all easy ways of working that can be devised. It eel pen.

The Peru Republican favors the consolidation of the State university at Bloomlngton with Purdue university at Lafayette, whereby a great institution could be buiit up, "which would bring to Indiana the same credit which the University of Michigan has reflected upon that state." The Republican also says that were this consolidation carried out, "the spectacle of two state institutions of learning lobbying against each other at Indianaplis would cease, and the united appropriations would enable the State university to be something more than an advanced high school."

Defrees, United States army, who afterward conducted the election.

Motsinger of Shoals, populist speaker, said the other night in this city that John Sherman had done tills country greater harm than Jeff Davis. Yet Mr. Motsinger wants to place all the railroads of this country under the control of Senator Sh.'.-m?.i and hi3 asso-( elates In office, the people to furnish the money to buy them with, lie wants the farmers also to have the right to mortgage their farms to these same wicked rulers for a paper currency, not to be redeemed, which ran be turned out by printing presses at the rate of millions a day.

People and parties should have a care how they surrender their rignts. Washington Democrat. Representative Johnson of the Sixth Indiana district, says the Washington Times, comes from a famous section that is known as the old "Burnt District," where Harrison men burned their hats because the whlgs elected a president la 1840. The seat has been held by some famous men In days gone by, among thenn George W. Julian, the famous ant.'-slavery agitator, who became a national character during and Immediately after the war. Judge Jere Wilson of this city, who, with Caldron Carlisle, acted as counsel for Miss Pollard in her suit against Col. Breckinridge, succeeded Mr. Julian, and after two terms in congress settled In Washington to vesume the practice of law. Mr. Holman then defeated the republicans in thiä district before representing hia present constituency, the Fourth Indiana. The district now is one of the few republican strongholds in the Hoosier state. Everything and everybody at the county farm are as busy as the traditional bee. Hay making and wheat cutting are the prominent factors In the Biege of Industry. Mr. King finished cutting forty acres of wheat yesterday and it is of the finest quality. At the farm there are now twenty-nine Inmates and all of them are In good health. It is the intention of Superintendent King to raise sufficient vegetables to supply the farm. He has 3,000 cabbage plante out and they are doing nicely. With an ordinary yield be expects to raia at

least forty bushels of beans, and three acres of potatoes will furnish aa abundance of that food. There are onions, beats, sweet potatoes, etc.. In vast quantitte, and the Unfortunate at the farm will not want for the substantial of life. At the same tLm the county will profit greatly by the splendid management of her affairs. Tipton Times. A windstorm near Gosport did great damage in the twinkling of an eve. It.s force was first felt on M. K. Eaton's farm, destroying his orchard, shade trees and barn, even tearing: away tho steps Of his house. It then swooped down on George Goss's farm, blowing down his barn and other buililngs and killing one horse. A great barn on William Mccarty's farm was also wrecked. There were nine head of horses in the barn. two of which were injured, while the others were saved by a load of hay still standing on the wagon. All of his shade trees were felled, his out-buildings were demolished and a sleigh and carriage were broken and the fragments scattered for a half-mile and more. He also lost heavily in timber, besides fifty fine apple trees. Preston McCarty. immediately adjoining, also suffered much loss in the destruction of growing timber and other property. The storm disappeared as suddenly as it came. Too much care cannot be taken this time of the year in guarding against the bite of a dog. The town is overrun with worthless curs whose bite would very likely mean a horrible death to the person bitten if the wound was not quickly and properly treated. But a very few of these dogs are licensed, nor do their owners pay any tax on them. Not one-tenth of the dogs In town are listed for taxation, but they are at liberty to gi around at will without any precaution whatever being taken to guard against their t'teadly bites. Recently a little girl's face was badly lacerated by the claws of a dog. County Treasurer Sudbury was set upon by a vicious dog as he was going along the street, and the animal bit through his clothing to the skill. A pet dog snapped at the hand of a child of a neighbor, but. luckily, its teeth did not go through the skin. A man from the country was bitten in th leg by a big, ugly, lousy cur that was running thf. streets, but no blood was drawn. In all these cases there were narrow escapes because the flesh was not broken. Bloomlngton Courier. Another sensation comes from the West End. Wednesday night there was ' an impromptu dance at a residence in Cabeldale on W. Walnut. The family occupying the house was preparing to move out and concluded to celebrate in honor of the event. The dance was pregressing merrily and the dancing party were getting warmed up when the door opened and an unbidden guest entered in the person of the Rev. Mr. Grayville, a substitute preacher who occasionally occupies the pulpit of the West End regular methodist episcopal church when the regular preacher is absent. He wasn't In a pleasant frame of mind, because he occupied a residence close by and the music and dancing disturbed him. He demanded that the dance should cease and was told to go about his business. He insited on suppressing the dance and. it is alleged, seized the fiddler and his violin and attempted to extinguish the lights. The result was thtt the dance went on and Mr. Grayville was Saturday presented before Squire McCafferty for assault and fined $1 anl costs. He decided to go to jail to "lay It out." Washington Democrat. Bob Little and his wife and Mrs. Seavey attended the Sunday-school picnic at Warsaw last Tuesday and while there they took a coast on the toboggan slide. Bob and his wife made the trip safely, but when he and Mrs. Seavey took tlvi -hoot the latter got excited and fell off the toboggan into, the water. Before Bob could reach her the lady had sank twice and it was with difficulty he could support her in the water. At this juncture an old gentleman who is stationed near to render assistance in case of such accidents, plunged Into the water and dragged the nearly exhausted couple to the shore. Had it not been for tho old man at least one of the two would have been drowned and possibly both. Lambert Coppock. night clerk at the Tremont, met with a similar mishap and he sank out of sight. When he came to the surface he was blowing like a school of porpoises, and throw ing water from his nose and mouth with all the force of a chemical engine. Just as he went down the second time he was heard to murmur: "Send me the lifebvit or I per and then he was out of sight. Again he came to the surface anl as he did so the old gentleman who had saved the other two Walash people was ready to receive him. and grabbing him by the slack of his bathing suit yanked him to a place of safety, remarking a.s he did so: "Sonny, you ought to know better than to g near the water until you learn to swim." Wabash TP"s. Conductor Voll Ivey of the Motion met with Injuries at the hands of Jack Freas Thursday night that may prove fatal. There are conflicting stories concerning the trouble, but the best that could be learned was as follows: lvey's train was standing at the depot waiting for orders, and he and Harry Johnson, the night man, were sitting upon a pair of trucks talking. Presently Jack Freas and Fred Jones, accompanied by their wives, passed. At this point the stories differ. Ivey says he remarked: "Who are those two?" as they passed, and is corroborated by the engineer and Johnson. Freas and Jones claim that he said. "There goes two." Freas, coming up to him. struck him a powerful blowon the jaw, breaking it, so the doctors claim, in three places. Ivey was struck twice again, but "the blows inflicted no injury. Jones claims that Freas only struck him once in the face. Ivey got up and ran Into the depot, and later on, as Freas and he were talking. Ivey remarked that "he (Freas) was a fine railroad man." Drs. McMurray, Chittick and Edmunds were called in and attended to his Injuries, but he was unable to go on wdth his train, and remained here all night, being sent to his home at Indianapolis this morning. Officer Huff arrested Freas at his home and

Two ladies, who t-hall be nameless, had a mot thrilling and remarkable experience on a passenger coach on- Friday afternoon. One of them is tn? wife of a railroad official, resides in this city and frequently makes visits to relatives in rittsburg. Pa. She was returning, from such an expedition on Friday in company with another lady. They were on this side rf Columbus when they noticed a fellow on the opposite s'Je of the car who was talking to himself and gesticulating fiercely. The Richmond lady waa alarmed and pointed him out to the con ductor. Th.it functionary responded! "Oh! he's only a harmless crank." and passed on. A few minutes later the fe! low got up and crossed the aisle, sitting down in front of the two ladies and be hind a gentleman who was reading a newspaper. Directly he leaned over and addressed the reader, saving: "Give m J.V Th- man addressed merely smiled, &aid: "All right" and continued reading1. Then the other pulled a SS-oniiber gun, put it against the man's head and pulled the triccrer. Luckily the cap failed to explode. The man sprang to his feet, but the lunatic shot at him twice, but missed each tfme. There was terrible excitement and people rushed to each end rf th car to es' ape. The lunatic stood In tha aisle, sm. king revolver in hand and fired wildly. The conductor rushed in, and faced him and a brakeman came up in his rear. He threatened dire ven geam e on tha conductor, who was trying to persuade him to be quiet, and had his revolver all ready to shoot when tha brakeman knocked him down, and ths crowd rushed in. pinioned him to th floor p.nd disarmed him. He was turned over to the police authorities at the next station. Richmond Independent.
