The Austrian steamer Hapshurg col lidtd with and sank the Uitvarian steamer on Iake Constance, Austria. Many passengers were drowned, the exact number being unknown. The people of Montana will send a monster petition to the Governor of Idaho for the pardon of Robert Thomas, confined in the Idaho peni tentiary for burglary, of which they declare him innocent. Assistant Secretary Maynard haa de cided that pauper children, sent to this country to be provided for by charity eocitiea in this country and forwarded to homes in the West, can not be allowed to land. The member of the O'Connor family -father, mother and two sous were convicted at New York of having robbed and assaulted a young English woman uamed Mary E. Ilarwood, and sentenoed by Judge Cowing to state prUon for sixteen years each. Chicago capitalists are seriously con- idering the project of building a large factory in Los Angeles to manufacture li kinds of time pieces, from the smallest watch to the largest church tower clock. It i. proposed to build on a scale requiring 10UO men, moetl killed workmen. A special from Ponchatoula, Ja says that a negro drowned his wife be cause she refused to live with him any longer. ' Whihi she was drowning her brother came upon the scene and fired twenty buckshot into his sister's mur- erer, who sank with the body of ht. victim to the bottom of the Amite river. A cloud burst occurred just above the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, and a flood came weeping down on the town, inundatiog iU streets and alleys nd swelling the stream that ran through the town to frightful propor tions, carrying away a magnificent bridge 300 feet loag that spanned the channel, and cutting the city in twain. Richard Moore and wife, while mov ing at UUicao, accidentiv knocked over a lamp, tiring the building, and both were sutiocated in toe tUmes. The fire was extinguished promptly by the fire department. Moore's body was found on ton of the floor, where he had been literally roasted alive in an instant. Mrs. Moore waa still alive when found, but died shorly after wards. The report of Land Commissioner gparks shows that since March 4, 18H0, 31,824,431 acres have been re stored to the public domain. Bales, entries and selections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1387, embrace 25,111,400 acres, and of Indian lands 740,637 acres, making a total of 25, 858,038 acres, an increase for the year 18.SG of 3,733.474 acres, and an increase of 4 862,524 compared with the fiscal year 1885. Fire broke out in the Northern Ohio insane asylum at Cleveland, during tho weekly dance given the more tract able of the patients. While they were enjoying themselves a cry of " fire was raised, and flames and smoke sud denly burst into the dancing ball. creating a fearful panic among the JdU inmates. As soon as the Drat excite ment had abated, the attendants made a courageous dash and moved tae un fortunates who had been overcome, The bodies of six women who were suffocated were recovered, and three more were found in an injured condi tion. A dispatch from Nogales, A. T., says : All attempts to get further news of the destruction caused by the storm on the southern coasts have been futile. The supposition here is that the cities of Masitlan anl nan lilaa have been par tially, if not wholly destroyed by i hurricane and tidal wave. It is said that the thore of the bay at Guaymas, in Mexico, is crowded by people await ing tidings from the swept-away cities and schooners, Ua the gull the storm and tidal wave were the most severe that have ever been known. Many of those who have wealth are rushing to The scene of disaster for the purpose of lending aid. A special from North Judson, Ind says: Anotner unaiewonn raiiroaa . a . horror occurred on the Chicago & At lantic Railway, sixty miles east of Chi- cazo. near Kout's station. Seventeen passengers were killed and ournea up in the wreck, and from twenty tq thirty were more or less injured. A heavy freeh meat train telescoped the even ing accommodation train and the New York express. The accommodation with one baggage car, two coaches and one sleeper, had stopped at water tank for water, about one mile west of Kout's. and a freight train following crashed into the sleeper, tel escooing and burning up tne enure nassenarer train, as above stated, xne entire responsibility appears to rest on the engineer oi the freight train.; Cultivating beets should be still done, as they will continue to grow until the frost shall appear. Beets are relished by all classes of stock in winter, and plenty of them should be stored away. Carrots should also re ceive attention. Give the late cabbages a good culti vation or hoeing as ofteu as it can be conveniently done. There is no crop that reponds so quickly to cultivation as the cabbage, and where the land has been wsll manured it Is a p&yi crop. AGRICULTURAL. Csvoted to th XaUrssU ef ad Stockmen. Farmers Tho Irish Pout. There are many theories about the best way to get the greatest yhsld. One person says be has adopted the follow ing plan : Furrow tho land four or five inches deep and three feet apart. Cut each potato lengthwise Into four parts, and drop the pieces from fifteen to eighteen inches apart in the row. This method, he finds, gives more merchantable po tatoes and less small ones than when more seed Is used. The yield is also nearly double that obtained by plant ing in hills three feet apart each war. tnother good authority says : "The crown eyes of the potato aie the only ones which yield vigorous plants ; the produce oi the other eyes is feeble and unremunerative. If, "therefore, pota- Uies are cut for seed they should not be cut lengthwise, by which the crown is divided and eyes of all kinds Intro duced into the seed, but they should tie cut across, the half containing the crown eyes planted, and the other half used for food. Borne like for this crop deep. sand r oam, which of course is good, but the I rung, dark lands of the West do not roduce a first-class potato, although the yield in often large. Low, we lands are not suitable unless drained. It is found that the high, sandy soil will give good crops, but if not rich in potash they must be made so with proper fertilisers. Ashes and salt have been very successfully - used with this crop. Potatoes planted in summer for home use may be mulched with great benefit. Covering the surface of the ground near the roots enables the sou to retain its moisture much longer than if not covered, it checks the evaporation and lo condenses the moisture of the air o that it passes under the material sod for mulching, thus keeping a re serve stock of moisture for the roots to ppropriate as needed. Mulching is not only nature's restorer, but its pro tector also. When the potatoes are out of the ground the best way to keep them is to raise a bed nearly a foot above the level of the ground ; put the potatoes on this bed, cover with dirt, and then build s potato-bin over them to keep off the rain. This is far preferable to the northern cellar, where the potatoes nd other vegetables lie and rot, gener ting a deadly atmosphere that per vadee the house and is breathed into the system of all the inmates, and de veloping, is known by the names of typhoid, bilious and malarial fevers. Oood vegetable land is usually a me dium between the high and the low pine lauds. Potatoes take a large per cent, of potash from the land and re turn but little to it ; for this reason the food supply must be kept up or the land will be impoverished. The tops contain considerable fertilising matter nd should be gathered for the com post heap. It will be seen by the above that this crop does well on different soils and is, therefore, not a difficult one to grow. If, therefore, you plant anything, try the Irish potato for home use, if noth- ng more. Burnt lands are good, and. with plenty of potash and moisture ap plied, they will most likely make you a satisfactory crop. Cheaa Vexea for Host. The four great foods for hogs are corn, clover, milk and bran, with thoe foods hogs can be raised econom ically and at a good profit, even if holera does come occasionally. Corn the cheapest and best food for fat tening, and it is the cheapest to form the bulk of the winter ration for grow ing stock. Men go too far, however, when they use it alone as a growing ration. It needs the muscle and bone forming material of some food as bran or milk to supplement it. Clover is the cheap and practicle food with which to form the bulk of the ration for choata and hogs during suramea It needs the addition of corn when summer fattening is desired, and must be supplemented by milk, bran and corn for the best growth of sows with young pigs. Milk is eminently the young pig's food, but it is valuable in feeding with any other ration. ro other food stimulates the growth of pigs like sweet ekim-muk.and no other food aids the bog more in producing fat from a ration consulting mainly of corn, israjj 1. merely a supplemental food in most cases and serves to balance the food ration when feeding corn or other starchy food, whether feeding-a growing or a mature fattening animal. The free use of insect powder in the stables will greatly lesson the annoy ance to stock from flies, but the stalls and doors should be kept clean. Dust ing the legs of horses with caibolate of time will aid in preventing attacks from insects. - A mixture of marl, wood ashes and rich earth makes an excellent manure for vounz trees. No animal manure should be used unless it be completely decomposed. Grass is the natural food for the pig, which should have plenty of green food of some kind. xne nrteen great American inven tions of world-wide adoption are: 1, the cotton-gin: 2, the planiug-machine; S, the grass mower and reaper; 4, the rotary printing press; 6, navigation by steam; 6, the hot-air engine; 7, the sew ing machine; 8, the India rubber in dustry; 9, the machine manufacture of horschoes; 10, the sand-blast for carv ing; 11. the gauge lathe; 13. the grain elevator; 13, artificial ice making on a targe scale; 14, the electric magnet and its practical application; 15, the tele phono. Boston Budget. A sixteen-year-old boy at Green wood, Ark., became enraged with his asother, went at sunset to a grove near by, climbed a tree, and declared he would roost there all night. His mother tried in vain for an hour to persuade the kid to oorae down.. Then she threat ened to cut the tree down, and finally tent for the town marshal, who climbed the tree, placed a rope about the young iter's body, and lowered him to the ground.
