He says : " Our soil is clay, and has no natural lime. What is it best adapted to, and what quantity of lime will be required for one acre of land ? Our gai works Bell the limo at 20 cents per barrel ; common lime can bo obtained at 13 cents per bushel. Which is cheapest and most valnable as manure ?" The Chairman read in reply an ex tract from nn article on compost heaps, relating to gas lime, written by Archi bald Hmith, as follows : ' Gas-lime consists of ranstic lime in combination with sulphuretted hydro gen, sulphurous acids with usually four or five per cent, of ammonia which has been absorbed by the lime during the process of purifying the gas. The best way of npplyiug this manure is in the form of compost, about five cart-loads of earth or road scrapings to one cart load of the lime, to remain twelve months in a heap, by which time the lime will be chemically changed by the sulphur it contains into the sulphate of lime (gypsum). After being well mix ed spread twenty or twenty-five cart loads of the compost to the aero, ond plough it into the land before sowing. When applied as a top dressing for grass it will be necessary to make the compost much weaker from eight to ten cart-loads of earth to one cart-load of the lime. Many farmers fire averse to this manure as a top dressing to re main on the surface ; for frequently much injury has resulted in thja appli , cation, through ignorance of its power, when coming into immediate contact with the plants, which is sure to prove hurtful. If, however, it were made into compost in the above manner and ju diciously implied it will produce good effects." The members differed in their opin ions on this subject. Mr. Crane be lieved that gas-lime was good only for killing insects on vines and trees and destroying pest grasses ; as a fertilizer he considered it worthless. Stone lime is the best for this pnrpose. Another farmer thought it had been used, with excellent success, was better than crude lime ; if put on too heavy it would kill everything, but used at the rate of 45 and 00 bushels to the acre would im prove grass ouo-third. How Farmers Make Their Pork. Here is a farmer who had to kill his hogs early in December just as they were putting on fat to a profit, because his half -manured cornfield did not yield crop enough to feed them any longer, and he had no old corn to begin with. Few farmers know that old corn either ground or boiled will go one-third fur ther in fattening hogs than new corn. Corn kept over to feed hogs early is worth more than money at 20 per cent, interest. Here is a market gardener who killed an April pig on the 3d of January which weighed 3C8 pounds. This pig had all the milk of one cow, plenty of hasty pudding made from old corn meal, and corn boiled in the ear with pumpkins and small potatoes. He said new corn would not pay for grind ing ; he never fed sour feed except for a change and to give the pig an appo tite. X nce bought a pig from a wo man which weiglied only 150 pounds and she said he had eaten eighty bushel baskets full of new corn before the 1st of January. On questioning, she said, it was an early spring pig ; it had run out, but was fed all summer and in the fall was shut up in a pen to fat ; the pen had no floor and the orrly shelter was rails laid across one corner of the pen, covered with rank weeks. She ad mitted the pig had a very muddy and wet berth, and that the labor of hunt ing out the shelled corn in the mud had sharpened his appetite and prevented the fattening process. Potatoes Among Raspberries. Mr. R. A. Hunt of Euclid, Ohio, tells us how he managed last season to make double use of his land, and at the same trme ilenvo a benefit lrom an unlooked for source. In the spring he set out a small field of raspberry bushes, and the land being in good coudition, the sets six feet apart, ho concluded to crop the piece with corn and potatoes. So corn was planted with the rows of raspberry bushes, a hill between the sets, and then a drilled row of potatoes through the centre between the rows. The rasp berries did well, the com grew to a good yield, and the potatoes not only produced a good crop, but were entirely unmolested by bvys, while those only a few rods aw ay in the open ground were completely riddled. What caused this singular action on the part of the bugs Mr. Hunt does not pretend to say posi tively, but is of the opinion that either the raspberry bush is not agreeable to them, the potatoes were not discovered (which is unprobable), or else the shade did not meet with their ideas of pro priety. The matter is one worthy of further investigation, and now is the time to begin the work of experiment ing. Ohio Farmer, The Wood Business. To show how low ' and degraded country journalism has become Ave will cite this fuct.says the Sedalia Democrat: Thirty years ago all these newspaper fiends went into cahoot, and started papers for the simple purpose of laying up enormous amounts of wood. For this purpose every country paper put this notice at the head of its local column: WOOD WANTED. We will take wood for flubf criptiou for this paper. Bring on your wood 1 Yes, "bring on your wooa!" Mark thatl Now, what are these rasoals doing ? Why, they have been running news papers for wood until they have got all the wood in the country in their own hands. And now wood is up they've made a corner in it " Rut," the reader will ask, " where is their market ? What good will it do them ?" Poor, ignorant souls I We'll tell yon. After these country editors have got all the wood in the country into their hands, what do they do ? Why, they go to work, tooth and toe-nail, and advocate cremation! They know perfectly well, just as soon as cremation becomes part of Ameri can politics, every man will be trying it on his mother-in-law and wife's rela tions, and wood will go up to $100 a cordl Every one of. these fiends will nave this advertisement on one whole Bide of his paper: - TO CBEJIATIONISTS.

The western-bound rider had arrived with a bullet in bis leg, and reported that the Tawnpes were off their reservation and were advancing on the settlement. He had met them between the last station and McPhersons, and they had given chase. McPhersons could boast of bnt seveuty-five sonls at that time before the railroad came, and there were but forty men who were ca pable of defending the place. What ever was to be done hud to be done quickly. Fort Grottan was eighty miles northwest, and a rider was dispatched in haste. Fort Kearney was seventy miles southeast, and who would sum mon aid from there ? It was a danger ous undertaking. The route lay right through the hostile country, and the messenger would be almost sure to meet the Indians. The pony-riders, as a general thing, were fearless men, but this proposition was fraught with dan ger that they were loth to undertake it. "Ef Slude was only here I" cried an old man, " ther'd be no hesitation while wimen an' children were in danger I" "I'll go 1" and a bright-eyed, fearless-looking young fellow stepped forth. "Good 1" said the old man, pressing his hand, "old Jim Johnson sez sol Old Jim Johnson ! You hear me I There's more sense in Essex's cazeba then the hull lot of you. Pick your boss, boy, an' ride for your life. See 1 there's Nelly lookin' at you. Fer her sake, Willy, ef no one s else. Thirty five helpless women and children ; think of it I Ride your best, an' when you git to the station you may git a re lief. Post 'em there, an' when you git to the fort tell the commandant' to send on some cevelry as soon as possible. Fetch the sojers, an' we'll send tho Reds to Californy 1 Nelly Johnson's yourn as soon as you git back. Good oy. boy, an' God speed ye." - There was a spring, u rash of hoofs, and the ride to Kearney had begun. Right gallantly tho little horso sprang away at her rider's bidding, and the eyes of sweet Nelly Johnson kept upon them until horse uud rider faded away upon the horizon. Love was one incentive for the pony rider's mission, and the desire to save the people of McPhersons- from a bloody death was the other. Did ever man risk life in a better cause ? On ward swept the little horse, her flyiDg heels throwing np a cloud of dust which hovered in the air for hundreds of yards behind her. To the left of them glided the still waters of the Platte, and on the right stretched the boundless green of the prairie. The rider sat firm as a rock, his dauutless face looking straight ahead and wearing an sir which seemed to say it was all for the sake of Nelly Johnson. You may talk of the Mamelukes, the Tartar horsemen, the savage Bedouins, and all the wild riders, but what are they to compare with our American pony-riders men who were fearless, and braved every danger ; who ran the risk of life in every mile they dashed over ; men who were expected to do fifty miles at top speed in daylight or dark, rain or shine, hot or cold ? But the railroad has done away with tho pony-rider, and we hear no more of such exploits as that of the renowned Jimmy Moore. Onward swept the brave little horse, and at last the station came in view, A minute more and horse and rider were at the door. No relay was there to meet them. Not a sign of life was to be seen, but there were hoof-tracks in every direction, showing that the relief had fled. Giving the horse a drink, the rider mounted, and again they were on the way to Kearney. Further on they came upon a large ob ject in tho centre of tho trail. It was the Western-bound stage with the horses gone, the driver between the forcwheels with a bullet in his head, uio passengers Jying about the road, and the conductor in the boot wounded unto death. Ono horrified look, a pause,, and faster fled the horse. Mile alter mile is left behind, station after station is passed, and no relief. Will they ever get to Kearney ? Un the prairie of the right of them appear a host of mounted men. They are tho pets of the Peace Commission on their annual maraud. Turning with a triumphant yell they speed to head the rider off. Narrower grows the space between them, and the gallant horse redoubles his exertions. In the van of the savages rides a tall chief mounted upon a powerful horse, his plumes streaming in the wind as he urges the noble animal he bestrides. Young Essex can escape if he turns back. But no I The sweet faco of Nelly Johnson and the shrinking forms of defenseless little ones come before hi-) view, and dashing the prespiration from his brow the pursued dash on ward. Bnt a four miles more and suc cor is at hand 1 Nearer comes the pursuers. Now rido, young Essex, for it is three-score lives to one t Speed, brave little horse ; strain muscle and nerve heart, for your work will be well done ! Ride, young Essex, for everything is at stake ! Onward rushed the horse, his hoofs beating time to the short, quick breaths. The gap closes 1 Twang ! A sharp pain in tho side, and the rider reeled in the saddle, but for an instant only. Bending low in the saddle, the whip is raised lor the nrst time, ana faster fled the' horse. And now tho green ramparts and stockaded Rates of Fort Kearney came in view. The baffied savages turn and set out rapidly up the trail, while the fainting rider checks the faltering steps of his dvins horse. One last look at the waving sea of green, and they enter uie gates tnrown open to receive them. in uie centre oi the parade stand a group of men about a horse and rider. The horse is down now, and from his nostrils . gushes the life-current, and beside her lies the rider. Young Essex raised his head from the arm which supported it and said " Pawnees off their reservation.

Embracing in its limits the South Park and Sau Juan country, it covers the richest mining districts of the Territory, its minerals being not merely gold and silver, bnt coal, iron, copper, marble, petroleum. TOEBLO. The capital city of this great region is Pueblo, located nn tke old trading route of tho Santa Fe trial, just where the ancient highway crossed and the trunk lino of railway now crosses tho Arkansas river. Pueblo is an old, wcll-Cfctablishcd point. It has been a mUaionary station, a trading post, a military fort, and is now a thriving Weetorn town. Its location has been determined by tho established routes of travel for over a century. It has therefore a solid foundation. It is now railwav center. Five roads, two built and three building, converge here. At this point will stand the GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF THE FAB WEST. Iii every respect of coutrality, climate, local situation, position with reference to Aortu, South, East and est, Pueblo is destined to nejomo the great commercial city or the ltocky Mountains. For one thousand miles along the base of the mountain ranyo there is no point equal to it as a commercial center. SOUTH PUEBLO. The systematic development of Pueblo towards this, its own proper position, is now going on under the auspices of the Denver and llio Orauuo Kail way, wno nave opened to Colour settlement and improvement the land on the south bank of the Arkansas, heretofore unoccupied by reason of tue want of capital in Colorado to construct the great irrigating caua) nwecswy to supply water. r-outli Pueblo has been regularly laid out and pla'.tc.l, streets opened and graded, 10,000 trees planted along tho avenues and public- squares, a large park laid out and planted, bridges built, and all the foundations for a prosper ous town broadly and intelligently laid. The streets are 100 feet wide, tho central boulevard l.iO feet. Acequias. or miniature canals, run along the front of each sidewalk. Tue mam worn, liowovor, is tue great irri gating canal, 20 miles iu length., which has already been built at a cost of 1)0,000. This canal covors and waters a tract of 10, 000 acres, and this tract constitutes the colony settlement of South Pueblo. South Pueblo differs from the generality of towns just starting, in having already estab lished railway, tolegraph, and express and post al connections with tho entire country. The old town of Pueblo is located on tho north bank of the nver, and just opposite South Pueblo, being connected by four completed bridges and a horse railway.

Her Three Children Murdered Mid her Husband Dying at her Hands. In the second story of the briok tene ment at 85 North Eighth street, Wil littmsburgh, Mnry Ann Dwyer, a blue eyed young Irish woman, murdered her three children and fatally injured her huRbnnd. Michael Dwyer was one of the striking coopers from the oil works. He married his wife in BriRtol, R. I., eight years ago, and being thrown out of employment soon afterward, found employment In Brooklyn. With .the large body of coopers who threw down their tools six weeks ago, in opposition to the demands of their employers, Dwyer quit work. Two weeks ngo his provisions were low, and his wife begged him to go to work again, and he did so. His society men ordered him away from tho works, and he obeyed them, lie had been at tending tho coopers' meetings regular ly. He returned home at night after a society meeting, partially under the in fluence of liquor. His wife talked with bim about how poorly they were living on the small support tho Union gave to him, and told him to go to work on the next day. Ho said he thought the strike was over, and he would see by the potiors whether the coopers were going to give in. His wife then told him that she couldn't stand his his being out uf work any longer. She asked him whether ho didn't lie when he said that the st rike was over. He said no.and add ed that the papers would have the truth about it in the morning. They prepared to retire, yet talking about Dwyer's go ing to work. Mrs. Dwyer had put her thrre children to bed in tho back room Maggie, the oldest, seven years old, with her head at the foot of the bed, and Jimniie, aged four, and Timothy, a Rod two, nt tho hend on two pillows. Mrs. Dwyer lay down by her husband on the foldinglouuge in the front room. Sho did not clear off tho table when they had token supper, but raked out tho fire in the cook stove and laid out her Hat irons ready to iron their clothing. At half -past five the next morning tho was dressed and moving about her room. She looked into the hall the first thing to tee whether the newsman had brought the pnptr. It was -too early, and she went into the street to buy one. The newsboys had not reached that part of the city, and sho retnrned and told hor husband. He dressed and went into the street and found one. He met Owen Murphy, a cooper, who 'worked with him. Murphy said that ho wras tired of waiting for the Union to com promise or conquer, and that he was going to work. Dwyer said that he wouldn't hold out much longer. Mrs. Dwyer awaited his return and asked him what the paper said about it. He said he had not read it yet, but ho hnd just met Owen Murphy, who said that he was going to work on the next day. " If Owen Mnrphy, who owns a houso and lot, con afford to go to work, you can," said Mrs. Dwyer. The hus band said he thought he would in a day or two. His wife replied that they were getting out of food and she did not want him to lay about in the saloons with tho idle men who were on the strike. Dwyer eat down by the front window to read. He told his wife that the strike was not over and he was talk ing about what ho had read when sud denly he was struck fo the floor by a hammer iu her hands. At G o'clock the tenants below heard a heavy fall to the floor, and, running into tlie hall, saw Michael Dwyer dart into Mrs. Slaven's room, just in the rear of his own, having his head bent down. Blood was dripping over his coat. He called to Mrs. Slnven to do something for him, saying that he was hurt. She put a wet cloth to his wounds, and told him to hurry for a doctor. Mrs. Dwyer then entered the room with a cooper's hoop hammer in her haud, and darted toward her hus band. Mr. Slaven wrenched the ham mer from her, 'thrust her out of the door, and stood against it until he heard her shut the door behind her in her own room. Theu Dwyer ran into tho street, and meeting Sergt. Fielding, told him that Mrs. Dwyer had struck him with a hammer, and that if some body did not go to the house sho might hurt tho children. -The Sergeant hur ried and met Mrs. Dwyer at the door. Ho arrested her and started for tho police station with her, telling her that she had almost killed her husband. " Tho children are dead, too," she Baid calmly, looking into his faco. Ho took her to her rooms, and sho led the way to the door. Ono of the tenants met tho officer, saying, ''Mrs. Dwyer says she lias killed her little children." The Sergeant looked into the room and saw that tho woman's words were tme. The threo dead bodies, bloody and repulsive, lay in a mangled heap on the bed. He quickly returned with his prisoner to tho police stittion. She went willingly, and calmly gave her name. She said that she wu twenty-five years old, and, without a quiver iu her face, added : " I wanted my little children to be in hoaven, and I thought at first I would go thero alone, but then I thought I would send them there before me." She was quiet and lady-like, but there was a restlessness in her eyes. Nothing else in her manner justified the suspi cion of insanity. In the coll she quietly took her scut and remained almost im movable. Captain Woglora and several officers hurried to tho house, in the aaris bed room back of the front room were the three dead and bruised bodies of the children. The heads of all were red with blood. Maggie's head was mashed in, the skull open, the brains protrud ing. Iter little brothers were in the same position as when they slept, James's face was to the wall, and his skull burst open. His night shirt was dyed deep red. The infant neBtled in its own imprint in the soft mattress. The nude form was dotted with blood. His fuee was as calm ns though he had not awakened from his slnmber. The white walls were stained with blood, and crimson spots dotted the ceiling. The forms of tho children were not vet cold " Why did you kill your children," asked a reporter, "didn't you love them ?" " I wanted my littlo ones to go to heaven, said sho, calmly. " 1 wanted to kill myself, but I kuew if I went there first they would never follow me. My brain isn't nuite right sometimes, and when my husband wouldn't go to work I struck him. I can honestly say I thank God that my children are in heaven. The Lord sent His Son down to earth to die, and I took the lives of my children but for their souls' sake. 1 Killed my little Tim nrst. lie was nearest to me. He made some noise, but it didn't last long. I hit Maggie on the head next. She woke up and said Mamma.' and I said. It'u me, Maggie.' She was a good girl. She cried, too, but I soon put her out of trouble. She nsed to tell me she want ed to go to heaven, and once when I asked her if she'd feel bad If X drowned her in the river, she said no, because she would go to heaven. I killed Jem my. He woke up and cried, but I turned him over and lot the blood run out of his head faster. My husband said that the coopers' strike was over, and said I would see it iniho paper, bnt it wasn't there. I was mad when I found it out, and when he sat down to read it I hit him with the hammer. When ho went out I killed the chil dren. I don't regret what I have done, because my children were all good and I know they are in heaven and I shall see them there." XLIIld CSITEtt STATES IN THE SENATE. BILLS PASSED.
