Before putting new pork into the barrel,
the latter should be thoroughly scalded to
remove the impurities and to destroy any
germs that would surely a,ffect the pork if
not remoied. A barrel that haa once been
used to pack beef [should never after be used
as a pork barrel. It will be found next to
mposiible to keep pork sweet in it, But
this is a rule that demi not work both ways.
An old pork barrel is one of the very best
for keeping beef.

The first herd of cattle known on the con-
tinent of America were brought by Columbus
on his n nond voyage. From then, and
from e :her small herda brought by later
Spanish navigators, the wild cattle of South
America deecended. In 1553, the Portuguese
took cattle and hoge to Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia. The Canadian cattle were in-
troduced in 1608. In 1620 Virginia had 500
head of cattle. The moat etrimgent laws

Many farmers inplaces where their land is
swept by fierce winds find it profitable to
plant apple trees in masses large enough to
to make a wind -break on the side of the
arm most exposed. The apple tree branches
low down, and if bordered. by a fence four
or five feet high on the winclwe.rd side the
ground will be covered with snow almost as
perfectly as it was in the original forests.
The use of dried Lima beam as food is

One of the difficulties in growing Limabeanm

now a well established fact that ali mimetic

the aforesaid diecasee are rightly denomi-

as true in relation to hogs as to men. Pure
air, water and food are enential to the
health of brutes as well aa their masters.
Takehoge, for instance, that are kept under
a barn where it is conetantly dark, damp
and filthy; this is a sefficlent cause during
hot days of snmmer to develop "hog cholera.'
No wonder that some hogs, however proof

A Very Remarkable Story.
A gentleman tells oue of then stories
that few people will believe "without seeleg

and when the chase was at the height ot ite
excitement his horse ran into an old well
thirty feet deep. The horse Was instantly
killed by the fall, but the rider was unhurt.
The walls of the well had caved in at the
bottom a distance of three or four feet, and
the gentleman mays this prevented getting
out by digging footholds. Realizing his
situation, he began to call for help at the
tep of his voice, but no assistance came.
He was compelled to remain in the well all
night, and the next morning the stench aris-
ing from the dead carcase of the horse was
anything but pleata.ut, and he noticed that
buzzards were peering over the spot Final•
ly the buzzards began to alight in the well,
and it was then that a bright idea straok
him. He dooided to catch the buzzards by
the leg as they came down until he .got a
sufficient num ber to carry him out. That
he did; and when he caught as many as his
hands would hold, he "shewed" at them
and they flew out, carrying him out of the

THE WROnO MAN KILLED.
A Murderer rItrikets Down his Mena as his
Suppothd Enemy.
The horrible murder of the watchman
Charlie Roward et Marietta, Ga., grows
more mysterious as facts are developed. Joe
liaywood, who is now held for the murder
under the Coroner's finding, may welt begin
to feel a sensation around hie neok, for tile
etroug chain of oircurnetances is winding
closely around him, When Howard was
fotzad with hie head beaten into a jelly by
blows from a hammer, the instrument of
death lying beside him, and hot porde over
his head and breaet burniug away his flesh,
the only clime to the deed wet e two traolte—
one of a women, the other of a roan. While
viewing the body that afternoon Joe Hay.
ood was arrested, but the woman 80 far
has eluded vigilance.
On the night that the crime was commit-
ted Howard left the shop in charge of two
of Ms friends,Lawson Erwin and Jim
Fields, aakingthem to remain while he went
to see a Rick sister. He left about 9 o'clock
and did not return until 11, but he only
opent about fifteen minutes at hie sister's,
It is not known where he spent the remain-
der of the time.
He gated that hie sister had been poieon-
ed and that the party was going to eery°
him the same way, and that he was going
to catch up with them that night. Dr.
Simpson Bays his sister is not pit:anted, but
suffermg from a nervous disease. When he
returned to the shop his friends left, and,
except the murderer, are the last who saw
him alive.
Joe Haywood was abaent from home on
the night of the murder and cannot account
for himself between the hours of 11 p. m.
and 3 a. m, during which time the murder
was oomtnitted. A motive has been estab-
lished why the murder should have been
committed by him as it is claimed that Hay-
wood mistook his victim for Jim Fields, his
mortal enemy,
The cre.use of the feeling between Fields
and Haywood was that when Haywood was
ID the chain gang, where he was sent for 9
years for a revolting crime, Fields took
charge of Haywood's wife '• several children
were the remit. :Haywood was pardoned
by Governor now Senator Colquitt, about
four yearn since. When he learned of the
relations between Fields and hie wife he
swore to kill Fields on the first chance.
When Charley Howard, on the fatal
evening, went to the bedeide of his sick
sister, he told Haywood that Fields was
watching in his place. The theory of the
efficers is that Haywood then went to the
shop to kill Fields and killed Howard by
mistake; then he slipped up on his victim,
who was eitting by the fire with hie back
toward the door, and taking up the first
thing that presented itself—a:sledge ham-
mer—he struck his victim a terrible blow on
the head, crushing his ekull like an egg
shell. and after he was down atruok him
again. On looking at hie victim he was
horrified to fiod, instead of his enemy, that
he had killed his best friend, who had in the
mean time returned to work. He hastily
covered the faoe and bust of his victim with
burning cords, and, thinking that he had
destroyed the evidence as to the cause of
death, joined his female companion outside,
and the two walked away together.
Just here another mysterious incident is
added. It has developed that the woman
watt in love with Fields'and that Haywood
was in love with her. The womani sought
in vain to eecure Field's affections, and,
failing in this, used her influence over Hay-
wood and his well-known hatred to Fields
to get him to murder the man whose love
ehe could not gain. Thus the two took ad-
vents t ei of Field's supposed presence in place
of the ebsent Howard to deal the blow
which / ssulted in the death ef the wrong
man. I toi officers have the name of the
woman, but refuse to let itle known until
they have acured her arrest.
Sheriff Cc. s yell has been vigilant, in follow-
ing up every clue, and is determined to
clear up every myeterv.

terrible internal disease which can never be
cered while she is playing this part, and she
cannot afford to stop playing it, for she is
the breadwinner of it large family. The
doctor argued with her on the subject, and
that if she kept on she would kill herself,
and then the family would have no one to
work for them and would not have the
money to bury her with. She admitted the
truth of what he said, but added that all

front door and called for assistance. I went
over and entered the firet door to the right.
It was dark in the room with smoke. I
opened the shutters to lot out the smoke
and saw Crowley alongside of the etove. I
asked him questions. Ile could not speak.
I examined him and found two bullet holes
ID his abdomen. He was not dead, but in the
last throes. A pistol lay close to his right
hand, I picked up the pistol and maw that
ID was cooked and with but one barrel load-
ed, All the other barrels were disoliaged,
I left the room to see .who was the ether
party to the tragedy. In the left room I
sew the same man [Hanlon, of Galveston,
lying on the floor of the room with a large
Bien/shooter lying next his eight hand. I ex-
amined the six-shooter and fonud that it
was emptied. It looked that way to me. I asked
him if he needed water, and he said : 'Please
help me off with my coat and boats. I can
raise up. I am:strong enongh yet.' He
then asked me to put him to bed, He was
put there."
Mists E. De Latino', at whose house the
tragedy oocurred, says "Shat she had sent
a letter to Galveston by Crowley ; that Han-
lon arrived in a carriage and that Crowley
followed close behind him on foot. Hanlon
came inside oi the house at once. In less
than five minutes he went out to dismies
the carriage. I looked out of the window
and saw Jack Crowley coming up to the
carriage. 1 then went to the back of the
house, and soon heard rapid pistol -shooting.
After this Mr, Hanlon came to where I was
and amid, am shot. He shot first, send
for a physician.' He then fell on the floor.
I then went to the parlor door and looked
ID and SaW Jack Crowley resting on his
elbow, Both have been paying attentions
to me. I am' engaged to be married to the
Man who lies wounded in the other rooni."
A responeible gentleman who went to
Houston on the tame train with Crowley
says Crowley aaid to him that he was en
route to Galveston on important business,
at the earn° time showing him a sealed let-
ter which he Bald had come from a lady,
the contents of which might result seriously
to him or the man to whom he oarried it.
Next day the same gentleman returned on
the name oar and in the same seat with
Crowley, When Crowley renewed the con-
versation of the previous evening, he eeemed
to be more widows than before, and point.

were going to Houston together and were
going to the house of the lady raferred to
before. Thia conversation happened on
this side of Galveston. When near Hous-
ton, Crowley said in a whisper to the gentle-
man with him: "lly mind is Made up. I
am going to kill him. I want to aee what
I am made of anyhow. I don't giver ad
if I am killed. Keep thie quiet. I have
two good pistols on me' now," Getting ofl
the train at Houston he said: "Take this
bottle out of nay pocket. I don't want to
drink any more. Good-bye if you never see
me any more." The man pointed out by
Jack Crowley was no doubt Jack Hanlon,

A canny Lowland farmer, of a miserly
disposition, went to a fair to hire a farm -
servant ; and peering about, he observed
a tall, well -grown lad with a vacant ex-
pression of countenance. Him he accoet-
ed, and found that Jock, as he called him-
iself, was an " innocent," as tbe country
folk of that region would say; in other
words a half-witted fellow.
The farmer, believing this to Nes good
opportunity for securing a strong fellow
who would take low wages, and would not
quarrel with the very plain fare of his
kitchen, queationed the lad, and finally
engaged him. Then, remembering that
ID knew nothing ofebhe character of his
peoposed aernant, he added,--

" Ou, ay," returned Jook.
Do was then agreed that he should bring
the reqtred document to the Sun Inn,
where the fanner ntended to dine, at one
o'clock. At the appointed hour, Jock ar-
rived at the Sun, and made his way to
the room where the farmer sat among his
companions.

A ,CANADIAN'ft GREAT RIDE,
EIGHT HUNDRED MILES ON HORSERACX
IN MS THAN SIX DA ES.
The following , account of the daring
and unparalleled ride of F. X. Aubrey,
a Canadian boy, who emigrated to New
Mexico in the early days of settlement
there, after its acquieition.by the U. S.
government, le furnished the St. Thomas
Times by Mr. 0. W. W. Seanamon, who
writes from Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 25,—
.A. party of adventurous spirits were cele-
brating their eticapee hem the perils of
tho plains, on the Plaza, in Santa Fe, and
one, more daring than the rest, made
a wager of a theneand dollars that he
could ride to Independence in six days
(Independence is in •VIissouri, 800 miles
from Santa Fe.) Relays of horses were
stationed at the ranches that dotted the
trail at long intervals. Word was sent
to the ranchemen to be ready, and fully
equipped the wild horsman mounted apd

and the booming of :artillery. Through
the pine -scented cannone he sped ; over
the bold hills he came, and anon was
hidden to view, risingaancl falling in the
graceful metre of the gallopieg stud; with
a heart as light as a bird's song, and a
spirit that never khew fear, the daunt -
lees Aubrey rode away. Halting at first
for a few hours' rest, Aubrey found the
tension of his nerves too great for sleep
and he decided to pueh on, trusting to
stimulants and the cat-napsels could
catch in the saddle. So on he rode
through darkness aui e, and storm;
etrained the last neve ;and epurred the

lines of ehe Missouri timber greeted his
