A SWITCHMAN'S FATAL FALL, Horrible Death of George Shaw in the B. & M. Yards, HIS HEAD CRUSHED TO PIECES. Arrival of Two Nameless Cherubs at the Home For the Friendless— Proposed Enterprizcs—New Notaries—Brevities, [PROM THE BER'S LINCOLY nEREAT.| A frightful accident accident occurred in the B, & M. yards in this city carly day morning that ndde another to the long roll of violent deaths thore during the pros- ent year, The victim of this accident was Goorge Shaw, fireman of switeh engine No. 1. He has been in the employ of the road since July last. The accident occurred near the B. & M. round house, where the engine and crew wero making up the fast stock train for Omaha. The train was late and the work was being rushed. Shaw had thrown a switch and was erossing the track ahead of the moving cars. There was a heavy fog at the time and Shaw misjudged the distanco the train was from him and he fell with his neck across the rafll. In an instant the mov- ing car was upon him, crushing his head from his body, severing his right arm and mutilating him 1w a horrible manner. The trainmen near rushed to his assistance, but it late. Death had resulted instantly, Shaw was a1 ed man living in the eity, and the news was taken to his home, his body meanwhile being turned over to the corouer who, after inquiry, decmed “an in quest unnecessary. Shaw leaves a wife and four children who were dependent upon his work for sustenance.

The beet sugar project grows in popular favor, and from the fact that the syndicate propose to invest five to one over what they ask, it is a sufe conclusion that it means business. A plant of that magnitude would mean some- thing of value to the city. NEW NOTARIE: The following notaries public were commis- sioncd yesterday by Acting Governor Shedd : ounty ; v Isanc J.

Tn one of the classes of our public schools, a few days ago, the teacher interrupted the regular order of exercises with a short period of mental recreation, during which the little ones were given an opportunity to tell what they kuew of matters of local and general importance, which had been in some manner or other brought to their attention. The ex- ercise finally turned in the direction of the children's numing three men whom they con- sidercd the greatest in the country. Of course, the estimal reaching. Charac litt ne was far- figured in history, as statesmen, poets, writers, actors and business men, from the time of Washington were named. Some of the scholarss named three, others two men, while some were anle to mention but one man. One of the last mentioned was a beautiful little brunctt with sparkling eyes and intelligence, dom ating ¢ y feature, She could name but one n and io her mind the greatest man was our own well known and enterprising real estate broker E. Mayne. As may be im- ugined the mention of the name of a al colebrity attracted attention and unwittingly the little cherub but gave expression to one idea which has long been active in many an adult's mind. It was of course from older heads that the child-had received its impres- sion, Which fact4s commendable to the hon- esty of our people who cheerfully pay tribute to deserving worth. It is not intended to speak of Mr. Mayne as great among those who have gone down to posterity, but as a id of Omaliaz asone of the most ener- s und cnterprising business men in this as o man who done more than any man in this city to inaugurate the real estate boom which has ulted in a few years in wealth to hundreds, as the man who, in thus innugurating that movement, indi- rectly turned volumnes of business into almost every hine in the city, and above all as the friend of this growing city of Omaha, th will not be many le disenting v " from the little girl's proposition that C. k. Mayne is really a great man, LOW DIVES" RnIC It is Not the High-Toned Saloon That Makes the Most Money. “One of the most fallacious arguments of the day,” said a prominent liquor dealer, *is that which makes it appear thata high tax put upon saloon dealers will close up the so- called low dives. This argument, of course, emanates from prohibition enthusiasts who know absolutely nothing as to the compara- tive receipts of the ‘high-toned’ saloon and the ‘low dive.' But those who are in a posi- tion to know will tell you every time that the poorer class of saloons are the ones that make the mone 'he prohibitionist, if he happens to glance into a bar where the fix- tures are plain, and the patrons of the place more roughly dressed than in some saloons with gilded ceilings and exquisite mirrors, scts the former down at once as a ‘low dive,’ when, in truth, it is as respectable as any.” ““The saloons in Omaha that cater to, and obtain the trade of the workingmen are the ones that are making the money. Their e: penses are far less, and their receipts are actug larger than those of their more pretentious neighbor. It is they who are able to pay #1,000 down more easily than the keeper of the gilded saloon.” Anoxchange says: There are more ung made on Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, vee of charge, than arve paid for by the owners.

No Living by Crops Alone—Live Stock and Fertility. SOMETHING ABOUT FENCES. Timely Hints About Poultry—Season. able Suggestions—The Carc ofthe Dumb Brute—The Valuable Farm Horse. No Living by Crops Alone. New York Tribune: He is not the best farmer who realizes the most money from & given number of acres, but ho who, while producing the lurgest crops possible with the facilities at hand, does not fail to keep everything trim and at- tractive—the house and grounds in order, fences in good condition, (those around the house puinted or white- wushed), the yard covered with turf, dotted with trees and shrubbery; the back yard as neat as the front, not a single corner for rubbish: the kitchen garden free from weeds and full of ever vegetable in its season. 1In the house- hold everything that tends to the com- fort of the family will be on hand, At the barn everything can be in place; no loose boards and litter about the yard, o holes of dirty water, no implemen wasting in thoweather. A good farmer will be ambitious to have a good road by his premises: even gratis labor will be given to this end. In many places trees will be plantedalong the way.aud neatly trimmed hedges take the place of un- sightly zifrang fenc The roadside will be mowed in proper season, thus destroying weeds and keeping along the horder a plot of nice green grass. Thus in everything pertaining to the farm the farmer will not only keep be- fore his mind the profit to be derived, but will often be content with less money in order that the love for the beautiful ond good may be cultivated and the highest type of manhood dev oped by the side of great crops of grain and herds of fine stoc Live Stock and Fertility, Prairie Farmer: In mixed or diver- sificd farming in the west u goodly num- ber of live stock is neccssary. Tk price of land and the cost of labor hay not as yet made the purchase of com- mereial fertilizers profitable, except on ulm-ml and for particular purposes, But the history of nearly all western local- ities demonstrates the fact that if an mal manure is not produced cropping to grain alone for a period of years will so deteriorate the soil as to require many years of carefully improved farm- ing to bring it back to its original state of fertility. To see this illustrated at present one has only to go into any western neighborhood where farms have been skinned to death by the renter or owner in raising successiv crops of grain without returning any thing to the land. Those who, on en- tering upon new farms arc able and have the foresight to secure enough cat- tle, sheep or other stock, find abundant reasons in & few years to believe that they have acted more wisely than their neighbors who used all their means in purchasing land upon which to produce grain. During the summer live stock waste but little of their food, as that not stored up in the_body re- turns to the land in manure. In winter there is more or less loss in proportion re used in saving and applying . After the farms of a county are once developed and the line of farming to be pursued is thoroughly established, the presence or absence of live stock indicates in no little degre whether the fertility of the land is be- ing preserved or increased, or the con- e ‘ven where insects, climate or other conditions do not prevent tl economical production of wheat, the lack of manure and rotation on the special wheat farm hinders the con- tinued raising of that crop to advanta So with corn, only very rich lands w bear good crops during many successive years without manure. Hiy lands be- come “tired,” so to speak, of continual cropping, with no return of .enriching materials. Fruit and garden plots need manure, us do also special eropf, such as buchwheat, flax, roots Hungarian and other annual foddér crops. But there usually is but very little made except by means of live stock. There is a limit beyond which farming throughout the west cannot at present be specialized, and live stock cannot besafely discarded from any considerable number of farms, They ¢ to the diversity of farm crops and essential for a goad rota- tion. They not only aid in returning fertility to'the soil, but they make de- sirable use of crops which are desirable m rotation, but which would not othee- wi.e pay. They require but little atten- tion during summer when the crops need carve, and they fu; h pleasant employment in winter when other work necessarily rests. They add more capi- tal to the ?m'muv in stock, buifding and other improvements, without incre ing the number of acres and as a rule make farm work more pleasant. Something About Fenc Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: In the name of humanity the barbed-wire ought to be largely discarded and only utilized in such'a ‘manner that stock is not likely to be injured thereon. 1 sup- pose that the t'ln'n{n,‘s\ fence we can adopt is no fence at all—g luxury which the stock law allows us measureably to enjoy; which, T think, will grow in favor and be generally adopted, so far as practicable, on our farms. . Next to no fence, I have no doubt that the least costly is the live post fence, made by planting locust or osage at proper distances for posts, then stretching a couple of wires, using one board of sufficient width to be seen, simply to guard the stock from running headlong into danger. Without some such precaution it will require but a few minutes for a reckless colt to com- mit unpremeditatéd suicide. This, of course, would not make a hog fence. In order to accomplsh this difticult task we must drive a stake at the center between posts and add a couple of strong boards, and then our fence would cost almost as much asany other. There is perhaps no fence quite eqil to that constructed by planting good black locusts or cedar posts eight feet apart and then nailing on good first- el sixteen foot fencing. Four boards and a cap will make a fence sufticiently high and as handsome as can be pl#ced upon the farm, The great objection to the osage or- ange fence is the amount of territory monopohized on either side by the roots. Otherwise, if timely trimmed and kept at sufficient height, I know of nothing better or cheaper. I regard it as the best outside fence that those of us living near villages can possibly have, and especially if we attempt to raise water- melons or fruits of diffevent kinds, It saves the expense of a shotgun, allow nature to mature the fruits by her slow processes and very much prolongs the ruit season. This osage fence, too, can be made ornamental s well as useful. 1f wan- THE .

Most of the opposiiion to this valuable hedge fence comes from its slovenly management. 1f allowed to run wild for several years it is far worse _than a balky mule team in stirring up all the diabolism there is in the man who undertakes its subjection. If he has ot naturally the hide of a rhinoceros he oughtto have a suit of buckskin and ear ith him a bottle of Pond’s extracts hese are ne ry farm contingents when the principal fence is badly managed osage orange. The woven paling fence has some good qualities. 1t utilized old boards which have served their day in the rul- ing fenee. Posts are made useful that would have to be otherwise discarded and when properly braced and tight woven and securely fastened to the posts it makes a redsonably good and not very expensive fence, But to get the best results from this fence we must remember several things: First—We must anchor it tightly to the post, not by u single staple. but we nuxqu to cure it at every other post by This would prevent a great deal of loosening andsagging. 2. There ought 10 be a barbed wire stretehed to preveat the breast and neck of your horses from doing mischief in reaching over after vicher pickings, working the palings apart, loosening the staples and stretch- ing the wjrc and bringing about carly dilapidation. Third—Posts ought to be planted as frequently as for any other fence. Fourth—Palings should be us nearly of the samg size ns possible, Fifth—The fence ought to be woven ith a fencing machine, and put up with three strands of wire (of less size) rather than two strands of heavier wire And then, after all these precautions are taken, the old sow’s snout ought to be well filled with jewelry aund kept reesonably tender. or she ‘will be un- happy until she lifts your fence and passes under to the conquest of other worlds, If I had a farm not and creck, and cut up by road whose topography would allow, I would put an osago hedge avound the entire outside, and if the Taw would permit T would allow it to grow up into trees on the west and north, and thus shelter my crop from the destructive storms which thes regions so delight to send down upon us. Then T would have some kind of a movable fence for inclosing the pasture range. and this is all the fencing I would want. I would so divide my farm and so arrange my system of rotation that this outside hedge fence would inclose two sides of my pasture range. For in- stance, if the farm made up of a square 160 acres, T would draw imagin- ary lines through the center, north and south, enst and west, making four forty acre tracts, each of which is inclosed upon two sides by the outside fence. I would manago to keep ono of these forties in pasture alfthe time, and all the movable feed T #ould need would be on two sides of fortyacres, and by rotat- ing around the farm regularly—that is, shifting the pasture vange to the next forty—only one side of this movable fence would have to be shifted for this change, thus making the work compa atively light and inexpensive, and cn- abling me to practico and maintain the very best system of rotation. Then, at the center of my 160 acres, and accessi ble to the four fields——which in turn be- come the pasture range—I would hav cisterns or wells with sufficient capaci for all the stock I might wish to ') An immense cistern could _be supplied by tile drains, which would answer the doublo purpose of draining the soil and, furnishing water for the stock. Then, with a windmill to do the pumping, your summer equipment would be quite complete, so far as the stock is cou- cerned. Timely Hints About Poultry. This, says Mr. A. D. Hale, the Ten- nessee poultry breeder, in' Home and Factory, is a trying time on the late hatehed birds, both of this and last sea- son’s raising. Last your's late hatched fowls are now in the midst of their moult, and unless they are fed plenti- fully and furnished a good warm house to shelter them from the cold, drizzling rains, you may look out for roup, chol- era, ete., as tho heavy drain on the sys- tem caused by mpulting weakens and emaciates the bird, and leaves the sys- tem in good shape to take on discaxe. They should be fed plenty of good, clean, nourishing food, and about two or three times a week given sulphur, hout a tablespoonful to ten full-grown birds; give also Douglass mixture in theiv drinking water, one gill toa gal- lon of water every other day: and above all, don’t negleet to furnish them with cornmenl; they need all these things to acsist nature in feather making. And now about the little fellow You must furnish them good, elean, warm quarters to roost in, and they should have an open shed to run under when it rains, and, on rainy days, throw a little wheat sereening under the shed amor the straw and other litter to keep them busy scratching. This will not only furnish amusement, but gives them the needed exercise: you may alsogiye them the sulphur. Douglass’ mixture, corn- meal, ete., reducing quantity, of course, according to age. Seasonable Hints and Suggest The usual rule is to save the milk at the end of the fifth to the seventh day after calving. No fixed date can be given. There should be no sign of fev- erishness or 1 flammation about the ud- der, and the peculiar milk of birth known as colustrum should have entire- ly passed away. One of the best means of removing lice from fowls to make them do it themselves, by having @ lot of dry earth whe they ean dust themselves when- v feel like it, having fiv sprinkled the carth, with diluted .car bolic acid. This acid proves too much for the lice, and thay,leave the premises at once, or it causes them to give up the ghost. Fowls are machines to produce eggs and flesh, and we might as well expect cloth from a factory that has no wool or cotton asto expect eggs from hens not supplied with food., Liberal feeding means liberal profits; neglect means loss of what you do give them. Asa rule, feed well or kill the stock. This should be the rule, for the, results are as sure to follow as day is sure to follow sunrise. - When the wool Jyer,comes round the farmer wishes he had looked after his sheep a little morp closely, cut down the bur and brier bushes and removed the tags in the spring. A dirty fleece weighs more, but the buyer is keen- sighted, and is sure to deduct from the price paid for good clean wool more than enough to make up for the extra weight. Bear this lesson in mind, and keep the wool clean next year, Cows, if allowed to fall off in their flow of milk, will not usually regain it. If the pastures are deficient supplement them with fodder, corn and a ration of corn meal, ground oats and bran, In the cooler days of this month and those that follow, "excellent butter may be made, equal to that in June. Cows, to calve in the winter, should be dried off about two months before their time, and be well fed while dry. In this country a famine is almost im- possible. Whilé droughts pccur in some sections rain is usually pleutifnl else- where. The past scason was noted for destruction from both droughts and freshets at the same time. Crops are very short in. Illinois, Wisconsin and Towa, while in the eastern states the yields have been excellent. The time may yet come when science will enablo the farmer to largely control the sup- ply of water required. The value of a ton of ordinary ma- nure is estimated at %8, while a low price for a ton ef commercial fertilizer is $30. he farmer must, therefore, handle ten times as much manurve us fertilizers in order to provide the same amount of plant food. In purchasing fertilizers the matter of hauling and distributing the manure and fertilizers should, therefore, be considered in the comparison of cost and benefit to be de- rived from each. Most farmers are not familinr with the pedigrees of the best trotting fam- ilies of horses, and may not succeed in breeding trotters, bul every farmer should aim to use heavy draught stall- ions with the ordinary farm mares when desiving to raise colts. It costs no more to raise a good grade colt than to raise & mongrel, but thre is a great dif- ference in the value at maturit In spreading manure over the sur- face of the ground, to remain there all the winter, it is best to first plow the round and then spread the manure. f the ground be not plowed, and bo hard or rolling, much of the solub matter of the manure will be dissolve and carried off by the rains. If the ground be first plowed the matter will soak in. Estimating the population United State of the s at 50,000,000, enough corn is annually grown to allow each inhabi tant at ledst one bushel pee weck. This is more thrn gnough of “corn alone to supply all the food required, but the larger portion is consumed by live stoel, being thereby converted into meat. The estimated yield of sorghum per acre is 125 pounds of sugar and ten gal- loons of syrup.uceording to n Kansas re- port. Unfess the refuse be used for stock in some manner it is doubtful if there be any profit in such yield after deducting all expenses of growing the crop and making the sugar and syrup. Do not value a hog because it does not cat much. A gowd hog has an excellent appetite always, and eating a large quantity of food means rapid growth. Increase of weight cannot be secured e cept by the use of food, or “raw mater- ial” with which to manufacture the pro- duct desired. There is one advantage possessed by wool and butter, which is that both ar- ticles can be shipped at a lower cost, in proportion to value, than most farm products. As wool is not perishable it can be shipped to the most distant points, while butter keeps a long time in winter. Boiled corn is said to produce more pork than the raw kind and of as _good quality. The question to be considered however, is not which is the more nu- tritious, but which is the cheaper, g the fuel and labor required to cook the corn must be deducted us expenses. kim milk thickened with shorts and corn meal makes almost u porfect food for growing pigs, and if given three times a day it will cause them to grow i f a mess of chopped clover lded) be also given once a day will need nothing else. In filling walls with sawdust, whether for silos, ice-houses or root-bins, the sawdust should be dry and well packed down, or it will shrink and settle and leave empty spaces. One pound of hay lost pe many farms there are several) to cach animal, the waste will amount to two tons to every twenty-five head of cattle in the foddering scason. An_experienced dairyman says he would prefer to spend all the proceeds of th 'dairy for foed du ring, say, Feb- ruary, March and April, und look to the halance of the year for profits, than to slack up on feed, even with dry cows. The estimate is usually made that a Leghorn or Hamburg cock may be mated with fifteon hens; a Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock, Houdan' or Langshan with twelve; a Minorea with fourteen, and a Brahma or Cochin with ten. Old leather contains a considerable percentage of ammonin compounds, vhich, though suid to be insoluble, are, in fact, very slowly soluble. A good way to dispose of old boots, therefore, is to “bury them at the footof an apple tree. All Arabian horses are of middling day (and on size, ver in their paces and rather thin than fat. They ure cleaned every morning and evening regularly with so much care that not the smallest spot is left on their skin, and their legs, mane and tail are washed.
