lC-foot gun was buried 13 feet below
the surface, and back of the shell had
been placed 100 pounds of smokeless
powder. The muzzle of the gun had ',
been tamped with sand. Immediately j
after the explosion pieces of the base '
of the gun were found on the surface j
' and small fragments of the wet gun j
cotton were discovered. Excavations j
were begun at ence to discover what j
had been the complete result of the j
test. I
Several days were required for the
work, which was under the direction of ;
Maj. Heath and Lieut. Montgomery, of
the army. When the work was fin
ished it was found that the breech of
the gun for a distance of eight feet had
been blown entirely away, but the
muzzle end for the remaining eight
feet of the gun's length had only been
broken into large pieces, all of which
were found within a radius of eight
feet.
Where the muzzle of the gun had
been, was found the lower half of the
barrel, three feet long, which had not
been moved by the explosion. Three
feet away was a piece of the upper half
of the barrel, three feet long. Three
feet back of where the muzzle had been
were found pieces of the shell, crushed
iand battered, while lying about were
;pieces of wet gun cotton about the size
iof walnuts; fisrther back, toward
'where the powder charge had been,
was found nearly half the the alum
inum bronze base of the shell, which
was about two inches thick. The out- !
side portion was partially melted j
where it had been exposed to the ter- j
rifie heat of the powder ehartre for an '
instant, while the inside was perfect

ton had not exploded.
Louis Gathmann, the inventor, ex
pressed himself as entirely satisfied
with the test. The report of the army

Z. T. Clark, an Omaha lawyer, was
practically blown up the other day by
the explosion of the contents of a safe
ty match safe, which he carried in his
vest pocket.
He was just turning from the crowded
r trcet into his office at the Ramage
building when a loud explosion was
heard and a sheet of flame darted from
his vest pocket and extended several
feet into the air. The lawyer was
knocked down or fell from sheer fright
and the people surrounding him hastily
scattered to a safe distance. Mr. Clark
was badly burned about the hands and
face, but is not internally injured.
The extraordinary accident is attrib
uted to friction igniting the chocolate
of potash tablets in the safety match

The lawyer said he was attracted
to the match case several days ago be
cause of the word "safety" on it, and he
had carried it with a feeling of great
ecurity. He thought at first that he
had been blown up by an infernal ma
chine. His vest was burned away as

"I'm glad to ses that Mrs. Totter

Chic ago women who bow in adoration
to Mrs. Palmer, but I have detested
that Spanish woman ever since I set
ej-es on her at the world's fair. I re
member very well the night Eulalie
got off her famous 'dictum' on Mrs.
Palmer, and such supreme rudeness
is only possible to royalty. It was at
a reception at Mrs. Palmer's house and
Eulalie was one of the guests of honor.
The Spanish woman was willing
enough to accept Mrs. Palmer's invita
tion, but when it came time for her
to be presented to her hostess she stuck
up her nose in the air and said:
" 'I prefer not to meet this innkeep
er's wife.'
"Mrs. Palmer gets even very neatly.

she has arranged between Prince Mi

has put her in a notch pretty near
the top. Well, when Sebastian Sehles

The value of sheep to the farmer is
a matter upon which there exists some
divergence of opinion, but it is a fact
beyond question that where soil and sit
uation are suitable, few if any, sections
of the farmer's business lead to more
satisfactory results. A Canadian farm
er writing on this Eubject has appar
ently great faith in sheep, and says:
"A flock of good sheep of the right
sort well managed, will get the farmer
out of debt, keep him out of debt, lay
him up something for old age and leave
the farm fertile, clean and productive
for those who come alter." This re
minds me of one great benefit of keep
ing a ewe flock on an arable farm, for
after the crops have been gathered by
running over the stubble they will eat
up no end of the seed pods of weeds,
etc., and will at the same time consume
and make into valuable manure a very
large quantity of remnants of the grain
crop and annual weeds that would
'otherwise be left unconsumed or util
ized in any way except being turned
in by the plow. Good sheep of the right
sort are to be found in every breed,
though one must study the land on
which they are to be kept, but the best
should be aimed at whatever the breed.
Profitable sheep-keeping can only be
assured when first-class sheep are kept;
these cost less to keep, thrive better
and their aptitude to rapid development
and power to assimilate and apply the
food they consume in a profitable way
are certain to give a larger profit for
the food consumed than sheep that are
of an inferior type. Of course we do
not mean to say that only pure-bred va
rieties should be kept, for there is prob
ably not a more profitable sheep for
the ordinary grazier than that of the
first cross between two pure breeds.
Tests innumerable and show-yard re
sults have shown that this is the ease.
Indiscriminate selection, however, will
not do and the parents should be weil
bred and of a good thriving type. Prai

The first city in Kew Jersey to make
an experiment in municipal ownership
is Plainfleld, "and already the trial has
proved so successful that opposition to
it has developed. The city has bought
a cow, the miik from which it supplies
to the inmates of the city industrial
home. The opposition comes from the
milkmen. It has been found that the
municipal cow yields enough lacteal
fluid every day forthe use of the in
mates of the institution and leaves
plenty for cheese. The milkmen have
held an indignation meeting, at which
numerous arguments against the town
cow were advanced. They fear that
the city may buy another cow and go
into the butter business and eventual
ly get a herd of cows and supply the
citizens with milk and butter at ruinous
prices.

The first deaths in South Dakota from

from the ceded portion of the Yankton

They were taken with violent pains
in the stomach and bowels, and when
dying exhibited all the symptoms of
apoplexy. The physician pronounced
it a case of poisoning of zynotic origin,
probably from stagnant water. Inves

vious to the sudden deaths a cave open

this barrow along in your marked field
it can be easily adjusted to drop the
corn just as you may wish it.
For filling the pan, bore a two-inch
hole (c) in the board wheel and have a
cork, or, better, have a swing slide (d),
held on by a screw, as seen in illus
tration. The corn may be covered with a har
row across the rows, but it is better to
use a Planet junior cultivator having
the roller attachment and follow the
rows. Take the two oblong teeth and
turn them to throw the dirt inward, and
the roller coming along behind flattens
the earth down upon the corn.
A mistake is sometimes made in al
lowing the machine to drop too much
corn. To avoid this, count the number
of kernels dropped the first three or
four feet when beginning a new field.
This machine is a great labor saver in
planting for silo or other use, and is a

Canada has begun the construction
of a canal which is likely to have an im
portant effect on American commerce
and the interests of American wheat
growers. The canal is to be a short
waterway from the St. Lawrence to the
upper lakes, avoiding lakes Erie and
Ontario. The canal already built be
tween Montreal and Ottawa is to be
extended along the line of the Ottawa
river to Lake Nipissing. Thence the
route will follow French river to
Georgian bay and Lake Huron.
When this canal, which is to be twice
the depth of the Erie canal, is built,
grain laden barges and steamers will
be able to pass directly from Duluth,
Port Arthur and other points on the
upper lakes to tide-water. Later it is
intended to deepen the canal so as to
allow the passage of ocean steamers.
When this is done, steamers may be
loaded with grain at Duluth and pro
ceed to Liverpool without breaking
bulk.
From Chicago to Liverpool by the
new route wiil be 700 miles shorten' than
by way of the Erie canal. The saving in
time will be even more tnan this com
parison of distances indicates; for the
artificial waterway by the Ottawa
route will be only 30 miles as com
pared with 360 miles by the Erie canal.
Vnen allowance is made for the delav
in transshipment, it is probable tha
grain will reach Liverpool from Chi

way will somewhat disturb American
commerce. On the other hand, it wil

Timothy Grass and Clover.
Timothy and clover have been seeded

Should clover make slow growth it is
usually an indication that the soil lacks
