Fowls I'm Orchards.

Fowls IN OrchordS.
The public has yet to learn the full
advantage of keeping poultry. Few seem
to appreciate what they may do among
trees in an orchard. Let any one try them
in an orchard of an acre, where they may
be kept by picket fence four or five feet
high put in, say l22 fowls and observe
the result. They will avoid annoyance in
the garden, Of which so many complain,
while they will work among the trees, do
ing just what is needed and destroying
everything that can injure the fruit trees,
in the shape of bugs, worms, or other in
sects, and lay a large number of eggs,
which are cash article, to say nothing of
the chickens, which pay well at the pres
ent time; | have tried it and know it is
so. l have about one hundred fowls,
which have worked admirablyiamong my
trees, keeping the ground in good condi-
ton, keeping off the insects and prompt
ing the growth of the orchard. l am
satisfied that we have yet to learn the full
benefits which may be derived from the
proper management of fowls, and it is
quite possible that the method l have
suggested may offer the best way oi
getting our apple orchards into bearing
condition.

McGREG0R, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2l, 1862

The following touching notice of a
deceased friend and whole souled prin-
ter, We copy from the Lansing Chronicle
of the Sth. Mr.. SAM. HAIsLETr, the wri-
ter, worked with the deceased in this TINES
Office years ago, ,and lis not strange that the
living compositor should speak so kindly,
SO feelingly, so truthfully of his departed
comrade.
OBITUARY.
Through the kindness of Col. Richards
son, of the McGregor Times, we have
been privately informed of the deceese of
our estmable friend and brother printer,
MILo Lacy, Of Fayette Co., in this State
This melancholy event occurred at his
residence, in West Union, on Friday, at
IL NJ, June 25th, in the tventy>seventh
year Of his age. Mr.. Lacy was gentle
man of elegant culture, varied attainments,
and as journalist, had few superiors in
the west. Thoroughly honest and single
minded, he possessed those qualities of
simplicity Of character and determination
Of purpose which secured fer him the
esteem of all who knew him. To the
fraternity of which he was an ornament
no words in his praise need be spoken,
and to those who had not the honor of
his acquaintance, it would be impossible
to convey even slight idea of his worth.
He was mainly instrumental in establish
ing the Fayette Co., onion, Journal of
merited influence in Northwestern Iowa +;
subsequently, he, in connection with Mr..
Wood, commenced the publication Of the
Austin Democrat. But disease, meanwhile,
was gnawing at the vitals of our friend.
The dread Consumption was doing its
slow and silent work with alarming pre-
cison. Energy quailed at the advance of
the fell destroyer; the brain, which moth
ing but exhaustion could keep from work,
began to feel its power decline, and the
hand and head which had so faithfully
performed their allotted duties, were
forced to leave the "case" and "sanctum'
for the chamber Of the invalid, and bed of
last repose. Did others know his merits
as we knew them, they could sympathize
with the tear Of fratcrnal affection which
we sorrowfully offer to his memory. 1t is
painful for us to think that we shall enjoy
his genial company no more. Stricken
down in the prime Of manhood, his death
is at once warning to the young, and q
sermon to the old. Long may his grave
be green, and his memory cherished.

DR.. Alfred Booth, in his "reminiscences
of Springfield, Mass, gives the following
account Of rare man Of muscle, in the
alast century-Deacon John Hitchcock, Of
South Wilbraham:
He is we'll remembered by Hon. Oliver
B. Morris as occupying the deacon's seat
at meetings, his wbtened locks giving
him quite venerable appearance. Dur
ing a long life he was of wonderful
strength, agility and endurance, and had
he lived in the palmy days of Greece, he
would have been worthy competitor in
the games of those days. 1t is related of
him that on one occasion, man riding by
the field where he vas working, and
boasting of the speed Of his horse, was
challenged by the deacon, who said he
could run to Springfield quicker on foot
than the horse with his rider cou Id. The
test resulted in the triumph Of the deacon;
distance ten miles time not stated. He
would lift a cart load of hay by putting
his shoulder under the axle, in STOPPING
posture, and throw an empty cart over
with one hand, by taking hold Of the end
of the axletree. When loading grain in a
cart he would take bag by the teeth, and
with swing and the aid of push from
the knee, throw it into the cart. He had
double teeth in front, and would hold a
tenpenny nail by them and break it of
with his fingers. lie used to say he did
not know a man he could not whip or run
away from The day he was seventy
years old he remarked to his wife tina,
when they were first married, he was wont
to amuse her by taking down his hat with
his toes, and added, IL wonder if could
do it now y Thereupon he jumped from
the floor, took off his hat with his toes
came down on his feet like cat, hung ur
the hat on tine nail, turned to the table
asked blessing, and then ate of the re-
past then ready.

LION CuBs.-The Milwaukee Wisconsin
says: "Last week Wisconsin had the
honor of being the birthplace Of three
young lions, the first ever born in the
State. A lioness, belonging to Forepaugh's
menagerie, brought them into the world, ,and
is very happy and very uneasy over her
little family. The van in which the pets
are, is kept closed all the time, firstly, to
keep the light away from the young lions
until their eyes are well open, and rather
more for the reason that the mother aoes
into paroxysms Of rage whe..cver the
light is let in upon them. On Saturday,
when we saw the little ones, through the
kindness Of the keeper, they were about
the size of kittens two>thirds grown, and
perfect beauties to look at. They nestled
closely together like kittens, while the
lioness stood over them, slashing her tail
to and fro, and growing low, but very
much in earnest. The keeper said if the
vans were open, they would be surrounded
by the crowd to such an extent as to
frighten the mother, who would, without
doubt, kill the little ones in her fear for
their safety"

SICK MEN.--7he Picture as it appears
TO a Uoman.-Thcodore Tilton, in re-
cent letter, says:
l belieye that woman is a natural nhv-
sician. And | believe, also, that the day
is not fifty years in the future when ono
half the entire medical profession in this
country will consist of women. 1t will
then be pleasant for a man to be sick y
To which Mrs. Il. c. Stanton thus wise
ly rotorts
''When women are scientific physicians,
there will be no sick men. 1t will be far
more. pleasant for us to affiliate with men
with sound minds in sound bodies. Of all
ptiful sights is a sick man. A woman
arrayed in rich drcssing-gown and cap
on, can look quite interesting, pale and
thin in an easy chair but a man with his
Adams core, unkempt beard, irritable
temper, his hopeless views of the future,
and his long legs that no one can lift in
bed or out, is enough to appal the most
patient and loving Of Ewes daughters.
Let us have done with sick men,"

Who Did 1t:
Who "did" the present obnoxious Pro
hibitory Liquor Law?
The Des Moines Register says the Demo
Gratis did it. 1t says:
sand while speaking Of Democracy, we
cannot forget that it was Democratic
Legislature which gave us-in lS55-our
present prohibitory Law
The Des Moines Bulletin, another re-
publican paper at Des Moines, denies that
it was the Democratic party that perpe-
trated the outrage, and presents the fol-
lowing figures to prove its correctness:
The republican party was organized in
Iowa on the 22d Of Feb. 1856. The Fifth
General Assembly convened in Iowa City
on the fourth of December 1856, and was
composed of Wings and Anti-Nebraska
men, and Democrats. At the organization
the two houses stood
Senate-Democrats, 16
Wings and Anti Nebraska, Is
House-Democrats, 81
Wing and Anti Nebraska, &c
In the Senate, Theophilus Bryan, q
Democrat, represented Polk and twenty.
three other counties. James c. Jordan, a
Wing, contested his seat, and obtained
possession of it on the eighth of January,
lS56-thus giving the opposition major
ity of nine in the House, one in the
Senate-ten on joint ballot.
On January fifteenth the prohibitory
law was passed, and approved by Gov
Grimes on the twenty-second.
On its passage the vote stood in the
House
For ........................"." ..
Five Democrats voted fer, and twenty
five against it.
In the Senate
For r................."....... -
Against ........................
Seven of the latter being Democrat:
and one Wing.
So that Of the forty six Democrats il
the Legislature, thirty-two voted agains
the enactment as the prohibitory law
thus leaving only fourteen to vote for it.
1t was this assembly that first elected
James Harlan to the United States Senate
on the sixth Of January, 1855.
So it was not ''a Democratic Legislature
that gave us our present prohibitory law
Most OF the men who voted for it are now
in the republican party.

And hc lean ed both hands on his stout oak can
Az IL all work was done.

The pockets were deep and wide,
Where his specs" and his steel tobacco box

So near him the tongs were kept;
Sometimes he mused as he gazed at tho Goals,
Sometimes he sat and wcpt.
What saw he in the embers therei
Ali pictures Of OF her years;
And now and then they wakened smiiee,
But oftener started tears.
Hi good wife sat on the other side,
In high-back, fag-seat chair;
see meath the pile of her muslin cap
The sheen of her silvery hair.
There's happy look on her aged face.
And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped,
For grandmother's eyes are dim'
Their children come and read the news,
To pass the tiMe each day;
How It stirs the blood of tho old mans heart
To hear of the world away!

But pleasa II IL Is to view:
At least thougt 1t so myself,
And sketched it down for you.
De kind unto the old, my friend;

Though bravely once perchance they fought
The stern, fierce battle of life.

Upward life's rugged steep:
Then let us lead them gently down

The SIMPLE SECRET.-Twenty clerks in
a store twenty hands in printing office;
twenty apprentices in ship'yard; twenty
young men in village-al want to get
on in the world. and expect to do so. One
of the clerks will become partner. and
make fortune; one of the compositors
will ownn newspaper and, become an inilu-
ential citizen; one of the apprentices will
become master builder; one Of the young
villagers will get handsome farm, and
live like a partriarch-but Which one is the
lucky individual? Lucky! there is no
luck about it. The thing is almost as GER
tain as the rule Of three. The young fel-
low who will distance the competitors, is
he who masters his business, who pres
serves his integrity, who lives clean'y and
purely, who deyotes his leisure moments
to the acquisition Of knowledge, who never
gets into debt, who gains friends by de
serving them, and who saves his spare
money. There are some ways to fortune
shorter than this old dusty highway, but
the staunch men of the community, the
men who achieve something really worth
having, good fortune, good name, and
serene old age, all 60 in this road.

THE Neenah (Wis.) TINES tells how
a Neenah theatrical troupe performed
at Clayton. While the house was wait
ing for the curtain to rise on the 'sheart
rending scene," ono unlucky actor ran
against the scenery, and down it came,
curtain and all, revealing tableaux
not on the bills. To say nothing of the
"posish" of the lady and other actors,
the star was beheld in nude state,
attempting to put a night-gown over his
head, preparatory to his transformation
into an angel There was no further
performance that night.
