general form and somewhat similar appearance,
are made in nearly hundred different factories,
large and small. Yet machines from these differ
ert factories differ much in real qualities as do
different makes Of toagoHs, cloth, leather, Gallery
tCdtchss or engines. Hence the importance OF care
on the part Of the farmer and the thresherman in
making their selections. Some are practically
cheaper at a thousand than others at three hun

dollars difference between the prices OF the best

J. Aultman & Co.'s "Sweepstakes' is
the accredited head and front OF this great class
and its superior strength, durability, simplicity,
ease of draft, style Of finish, and capacity for
threshing and cleaning grain are acknowledged.
1t has been for eighteen years favor
lite. and for several years without peer.
1t has led the van of Improvement
and revolutioni5ed the style and quality OF work
bestowed upon threShing machines.
It is more widely known and esteem
ed than any other The names Of sc. Aultmau
& Co" aud " SWEEPSTAKES" are household words
from Maine TO California.
Our circulars contain the names of
over five thousand five hundred men in the North
west al0Rs who have purchased IL and used it-an
evidence of its standard character which should
not be overlooked.
The great reputation achieved by this
favorite machine has led several uuscrupulous
manufacturers, and numerous agents, to attach
the name "SwEEPsrAKEs," in one way and
another to their machines and advertisements to
mislead and deceive.
To avoid deception, look for the card

Hsw to Keep YeuDg Chickens.

The best way to keep young chickens
is to allow the mother to ramble with
them where she pleases. They will thus
secure, according to their wants, the heat
Of the SON, the cooling Of the shade. exer.
else, air, and variety Of suitable food.
The next best thing is to follow the
long established custom Of con6ning the
hen in o coop near the house and allow
the chickens to run out and in at their
pleasure. In many places yoa cannot
con6ne the hen in coop, and let the
chickens run at large, without lisking the
loss Of most Of them. A friend near US
constructed large coops six or eight feet
long, and four feet high by four feet
wide, oil made with slatwork, and kept
the hen and chickens together therein,
and got o pretty good thing and saved
his chickens. This year VIC thought we
would improve on our friends plans.
We made q framc work of similar size,
and instead Of covering it with slatwork,
We covered it with netting, putting boards
in the ground all round the bottom, com
ing up eight or ten inches, and this was
in q light airy place, partly under the
shade trees. A box was placed in one
corner for q shelter. We put 10 hen
and her brood Of twelve chickens, and
never saw anything do better. We had
just what we wanted-a safe, cheap coop,
with plenty Of light and air. We took o
great deal Of pride in our now arrange
ments. and the cats and rats found poor
picking in our young fock. For several
days everything vent ON we'll; but in
this, as in al things else in this world
wo soon found that We could not be sure
Of avoiding anuoyances and disappoint'
ments. One morning We found that six
of our chickens had been killed during
the night, and nothing was left behind ia
indicate how. We presume our wicked
friend was 4 weasel. Il must have gone
through the meshes Of the netting, less
than one inch square. We propose now
TO use u netting Of strong twiue with very
small meshes, and VIC believe we shall
then have the best and safest arrange.
ment for raising chickens that can be
found, the great object being to obtain
for the brood tho greatest quantity Of
light and air, without which We ore CON

The Crows Value 10 The Farmer.

Whatever wrong the crow commits
against the cultivators Of the soil may,
by o little painsraking, be materially
lessened or wholly prevented. The ben.
efts he confers are numerous and in,por-
tant. During the time he remains with
Us he destroys, SO says no less an author
ity than Wilson, "myriads Of worms,
molcs, mice, catterpillars. grubs. and
beetles" Audubon also afirms that the
crow devours myriads Of grubs every
day Of the ycar-grubs which would lay
waste to the farmers fields-destroys
quadrupeds innumcrable, every one Of
which is an enemy to his poultry and
his Aocks. DR.. Harris also, one Of the
most faithful and accurate observers, in
speaking Of the fearful ravages some
times wrought in our grass lands and
gardens by the srubs Of the May beetles,
adds his testimony to the great services
rendered by the crow in keeping these

The play is one of absorbing interest

Death of am old Resident.

At three o'clock last evening Mrs.
Agnes Hawthorne departed this life at
the rolDd cid age Of ninety-three.
Strange es it may seeM, in these days OF
weak constitution women, Mrs Hsw
thorne was in good health and spirits
up to week within the time of her
demise, and it is only few weeks ago
since she was on Main street shopping,
having walked in from her residence on
Marshall avenue for that purpose. But
abe was one of the old-time folks,
daughter Of one of the pioneers who
opened the Western wilds to eiviliz alton,
and did not believe in tight-lacing and
hooped.skirts, and consequently pre-
served stout frame aud cheerful
miud. Fifty-nine years ago, in COM
D any with her husband, she arrived from
Kentucky on a hAtbost at the mcu'h of
Wolf river, and beheld where Memphis
now stands dense forest, inhabited by
Indians, with only few dogsn white
persons scattered about in buts along the
banks of the narrow Neshobs. Here
she remained for two years, when she
took a trip 10 Natchez, but returned on
the day General Jackson whipped Pack
enham at New Orleans, and made this
place her permanent residence. She
was well liked among the early settlers,
and was in the habit of telling interest
ing anecdotes Of their dealings with the
Indians to her children, grandchildren
sud crest-grsnd-childrep. She had the
pleasure OF seeing the eigwsps disap-
pear and log-cabins go up in their
places, of seeing the log cabins give way
to frame buildings, frame-buildings to
plain brick houses, and plain brick houses
to stately marble edi6ces and iron-front
mansions. All who knew her 10 late ss
well as early years loved her, and she
leaves behind q large circle Of friends
and relatives who will revere her
meaory, Her funeral takes place at
three o'clock to morrow evening.

Flying Trip 10 sardis.

About eleven o'clock Saturday night
we boarded the Special Thester Train "
on the Mississippi and Tennessee rail-
road, and few minutes thereafter were
travelling southwark at lightning speed.
The comfortable and commodious cars
which composed the train were well filled
with passengers, some of whom had come
from stations below to witness the per.
Torrance ct the New Memphis; others
bound for New Orleans, among whom
we're portion Of the company who have
been delighting the dheater-goers for the
past two weeks. Every one on board
seemed to erjoy themselves, a. those
always do who travel with that most
clever and courteous gentleman, Mr.. G.
P. Oakley, general ticket agent of the
road. Nothing occurred during the
short space of time between Memphis
and Sardis to mar the pleasure of pas
seDgers, and about two o'clock Am. the
sound of the whistle made us aware Of
our proximity to the latter place. The
train glided up in front of handsome
building-the most extensive in Sardis-
and we alighted from the cars and we're
met upon the platform by that excellent
gentleman, Charlie Richards, proprietor
Of the hotel at that place, who invited us
10 and slowed rs away In room furn-
shed in the most elegant style, where we
enjoyed that repose so necessary to
weary body. At the sound of the gong,
we were awakened much refreshed, and
we're ushered into the dining room, where
tempting repsst was set before us, to
which we did full justice Mr.. Richards
is still the polite and clever gentleman
be was in years gone by, and keeps the
best hotel on the line of the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad.
