TWO PLYMPTON FARMERS BURNED TO DEATH. One of the most horrible tragedies in the history of Lambton took place Tues- day on the farm of William Hayward, in Plympton Township, eight miles from Forest. Thrashing was m progress and shortly after startingthe cylinder shaft broke and caused a friction which sot fire to the straw. In an instant the interior of the balm was a mass of flames. In. the mow above three men were at work, 'viz., Neil McPhedran, Stephen Searle and Wm. Greer, and their escape was cut off by the roaring flames, which filled the manhole M to the mow. cPhedran j umped thr ough the fixe and escaped alive, having his hair, whiskers and shirt burned off, but neither Searle nor Greer were ever seen alive again. In a short time the barn was a smouldering ruin, and soon after the charred trunks of the victims were dug out of the still blazing remnants, The heads, arms and legs were completely burned off, and the only means of identi- oation. was Greer's brace buckle. Searle leaves a wife and three children, and Greer a wife and three children. Both were highly respectable farmers. Hay - ward's loss on barn and contents is over 81,000, on which there is 8500 insurance. The sad. affair has east a gloom over the entire neighborhood. ANOTHER BATTLE, IN WHICH THE JAPANESE WERE DEFEATED. The Times has received the following despatch from Shanghai : Gen. Tio, commander of the Feng -Tien division of the Chinese forces, telegraphs as follows : "The Chinese onFriday at- taeked the Japanese forces at Ping -Yang, driving them back, with heavy loss, a distance of eleven miles, to Chung Ho. Tho Chinese macre a second attack on Saturday, and drove the Japanese from Chung Ho, which is now in Chinese hands. The .Tapanese again lost heavily in Saturday's fighting. Another great battle is expected to -day," Admiral Fremantle, the British com- mander, has established the headquarters of his fleet, provisionally, at Chefoo, where the British, Russian and Italian Ministers now are.

Yieh, who was falsely reported to have been killed in a recent battle, has been augmented by the adhesion of numbers of sympathizing Coreans. The forces are converging on Ping -Yang. The telegraph - line at the latter point remains in the possession of the Chinese. - Nine thousand Japanese troops have left Seoul, and marched in the direction of Ping -Yang Two German fathers of the Catholic mission at Si-Ning-Chou, intim southern part of the province of Shantung, have been captured by banditti and field for ransom.

Notes of Interest to the Flower, Fruit ' and Vegetable Grower, and Talks on Trees and Shrubs. Poultry Notes, - Rementber the summer 'shade for poul- try. • If the hens fend on decayed meats pu'tre- faction will taint the eggs. • Medium sized turkeys that are in good condition bring the price.. • The filet hatched andshortest legged in the. breed are the easiest to fatten. You can never rid. your poultry houses of vermin if you allow them to remain Ctlthy. Fowls can be kept at a gaocl profit if kept they aeshould siit'rmaohecabe wellofrom t business, and no more. When cleaning the roosts don't neglect to apply the kerosene to the bottom of the perches as well as at the top. Lice are sure to gather there if you do. Fowls should not be allowed a chance to put their :feet in. drinking phaees. They will drink water that is absolutely filthy and full of germs of disease, if not care- fully prevented from cloingyso. A. poultry fancier says he always [sepa- rates the roosters from the pullets as soon as he can distinguish them, and feeds corn to the former and wheat to the lat- ter ; one produces fat the other growth. It is surprising to many how very strong and vigorous geese are. Other fowls con- tract an endless amount of sickness and scores of good. birds die from ti:nie to time. The goose remains vigorous and healthy, living well on food that other fowls re- ject,, and standing cold weather that other fowls could not possibly endure. For setting hens use a separate house anti make nests alike and set them on the ground, all in a row, and keep grain, two or more kinds, by them ; also water and gravel at all times and occasionally a grass sod or clover hay by then. Never let thein out at any time. If the hens hap- pen to come off several at a time and go on the wrong nest the next lien will take what is left. Try to care for your poultry ; try to im- prove your stock of all kinds, and especially do not forget the poultr'y. The success of poultry is to not allow yotir young and old to run together, or, in other words, scatter poultry and feed a variety of feed, and especially grain— whole. Farmers can make more off their poultry, with less work, than they can from wheat—try it and be convinced. Recl pepper should never be fed in large quantities. The practice of putting red Pepper in all soft food should be discard- ed. The best effect from its use is when it is given once or twice a week, and half a. grain for each fowl is sufficient.. If given constantly the birds become habit uated to its use and it does more harm than good. It is only a temporary stimu- lant, and serves best when the birds are not in full health. The one great thing which injures, re- duces and may destroy the productive- ness of a breed of fowls is that thing wlifchlessens vigor, which impairs health; which transmits a tendency to disease, and this is what is called in -and -in or line breeding. There is no true breed of fowls known, which, if strong, healthy and vigorous, and'it is fed and cared for as the peculiarities of the breed require, but will yield handsomely in eggs and make food good enough for anyone. The production of one egg within an- other-, occasionally reported as a curiosity, is very simple, according - to Mr. W. B. Tegetineier. It occurs in domestic poultry from over -stimulation of the system by overfeeding. The ovum, oii yolk, when Inature,. is received into the upper part of the oviduct—a tube nearly two feet in length in the domestic fowl—and in its crescent is clothed successively with the layers of albumen, or white, the lining membrame of the shell, and, finally, ar- riving at the calcifying portion of the oviduct, is enveloped in the shell itself. Ordinarily; the egg is then expelled, but in the case of production of a double - :yolked egg a reverse action of the oviduct takes place, and the egg is carried back, Meets with another ovum andre-descends with it,_ the two being strroundecl to- gether with albumen, menibraneland shell ENSILAGE. There aro a large number of farmers who have never used ensilage. They estimate the cost of the silo as too great in proportion to storage capacity, and they are satisfied. to use ordinarily cured corn fodder. The item of labor is also a drawback which is not viewed in the pro- per light. First, to estimate the storage capacity of a silo, it may be stated that a ton: of ensilage occupies about 50 cubic feet. A ton of hay occupies about 500 cubic feet, but the fending value of the hay is about two and one-half times that of ensilage, though it occupies ten times as much-sptice. The silo, therefore, has a storage capacity at least four times greater than the barn containing hay. Dry corn fodder takes up even more space than hay, and for that reason should not be compared with ensilage at all. A silo requires heavier lumber than a barn, and more of it proportional to size, but the extra expense for roof, foun- dation, etc., of the barn makes the cost fully as much as that of silo, and it must be four times as large as the silo if it is to contain hay, as the contents. of the silo are compressed into the smallest space possible. • DRUM.: CORN LADDER. It has been claimed that well mired clry Corn fodder is equal to ensilage, and no doubt the claim is correct,,bat it is seldom that corn fodder is 'cut at the proper stage, or comes out fresh and bright. Much of it is wasted, and its value is' Materially reduced by exposure and other causes before the winter is over, and even if well stored and pro- teeted thorn is a large loss of the coarse butts, which are usually refused by stock. The total thy matter is present, but the natural solventst or juices, heave been lost, and a large portion is not digestible, En- silage, on the cent:eey, is succulent, and supplies the price of grass in winter by IN dietary effect. Dried corn fodder, if passed through the fodder cutter, and fed with ground ggrain., will no doubt be read- ily accepted, but it does not compare with ensilage as a supplement to other winter roods. The principal value of ensilage is its succulency.: i5NSlLAGt TEIJ 'CIIi3At'IOST POOlI. It is' estimated) that one cow will con- sume 5) pounds of en-sibtge daily, and that 9,) tons, with brass and ath:er foods, should keep 20 cows for six months, and that it can be grown on from six to eight acres of good land, filling a silo 25 feet deep, '18 feet long and 10 feet wide. This estimate is made by a Wisconsin dairy- man, who did just as stated in the claim, The labor is no greater than for cern fod- der. '.rhe ensilage.is put in the silo the same day it is cut, and is stoned away conveniently for winter, use. Dry corn fodder must also be out, bound and shocked, and the grain cribbed, ground and hauled, as well as being subject to loss by improper storage. Ensilage is not intended to displace other foods entirely, but to be fed in connection with them. Ground grain, oil cake, hay and roots should not be oniitted, but the ensil- age will greatly cheapen the cost of the whole. Does Horse Raising Pay ? The prices of horses are very low atthe present time, yet when we Consider the price of other farn2 products, horses are comparatively profitable. In fact good horses find a market a fair. prices. It is only the common horse that is a drug on the market. Goocl horses are finding an outlet to foreign countries and to encour- age the exportation,,the farmers should strive to breed up to higher standards of - merits. The large cities also want the best and the demand is on the increase as prices recede. The care of horses has much to do with development of the best class which is most easy to find a market. Feeding for muscular development and vigor rather than for fat is essential. A writer of experience says about horses : Don't be afraid to buy a horse be- cause he is thin. In other words look out when buying a fat une. Flesh hides blemishes. Better muzzle the horses than hinder the free use of their necks by checking while at work. Checked horses sweat more and grow thin faster than free horses. A team that is yelled at and jerked will become so nervous that they clo not know what they aro about, they grow thin with half the work of one that is used kindly and steadily. The man- ners of the team show the tempers of the driver. If for any reason the horses have not shed their coats or are unthrifty, give them a little oil meal in their feed daily. Begin with a tablespoon and gradually increase until feeding a pint twice per clay. Few feeds will give a horse so much strength and make him look so well. Water is good for a horse's feet. If they get hard soak them in warm water. Never oil or varnish any part of a horse's foot. Keep a foot hook handy and clean out the feet every day. It will prevent thresh and other diseases of the foot. Have the collars macre thin at the top and full where the draft comes. An. Inexpensive Fertilizer, A11 flower growers who have tested its merits agree in saying that few chemical manures are more valuable than ordinary soot from the chimney. By taking a pole or long-hanclled brush it is easily scraped clown. Then when the stovepipes are taken down to be cleaned there is usually enough soot clinging to each one to fertil- ize half a dozen pots. Soot not only enriches the soil and de- stroys insects, but the carbolic acid in it is very purifying. It may be mixed with twice its bull: of rich soil and applied thy, -stirred around pot plants or those in the ground, but its best effects are produced when used in liquid form. Tie it up loosely in a coarse bag, allowing plenty of room for it to be moved in the bag, then plunge it in a bucket of rain water. Let it soak a day, when it will be ready for use. 'Water the plants with it once a week, saturating them well. As the water is used out more may be added. If' allowed to become too thick it is in- clined to harden the top soil. A bag con- taining a pound or two of soot can be used in this way with good effect for a month or two. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria. The Cat pis a .Cause Of 1(118011130a. An ingenious Brooklj'ii statistieian es. timates that fhiited Brooklyn has over 100,000 cats, of which more than one-half are unsheltered, He considers it as a con- servative estimate that 10 per cent. of the 1,000,000 inhabitants of that city are kept awake atnight- by the Bowling of the 100,000. This males one case of insom- nia per eat, and leads one to the conclu- sion that :Brooklyn is a very sleepless city; If cats and insomnia prevail with equal virulence in other cities it would follow that there are 6,000,000 cats and 0,000,000 cases of insomnia in America. Yet no - notice is taken of this pathogenic factor by systematic writers on sleep. Th!s This is the new shortenin • or cooking fatwhicl is -so fast taking the: place of lard.
