HOW TO MAKE THE BOYS GOOD
FARMERS.

Induce them to take an interest in the
farm, in the implements, in the stock; tell
them all your plans, your successes and
failures; give them history of your life,
and what you did and how you lived when
boy; but do not harp too much on the
degenerate character of the young men
Of the present age; praise them when you
can, and encourage them to do still bet
ter. Let them dress up for the evening,
instead of sitting down in their dirty clothes
in dingy room. Provide plenty of light ;
thanks TO kerosene, our country homes can
be as brilliantly and as cheaply lighted as
the gas-lit houses in the city. Encourage
the neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk
agriculture rather than politics: speak
more of the importance of large crops, of
good stock, of liberal feeding. and of the
advantages of making animals comforta-
BILE, rather than of the hard times low
prices and high wages. Above all encour-
age the boys to read good, agricultural
books. Papers are all well enough, but
an intelligent boy wants something more
and better. Get him some good agricul-
tural book to study. Read it with him,
and give him the benefit of your comments
upon it as you go along. Get the Reports
of the State Board of Agriculture from
your member of the Legislature, and
learn thus the views and experience of
those most familiar with your calling
Take him with you to the Farmers Club.
and induce him to write something to be
read there. A better way this to spend
evenings than to loaf at the store, and be-
sides, it gives him practice in expressing
his views clearly and concisely, and leads
him to seek for knowledge to be express
ed for his own use and for the benefit of
others. And thus he will learn to love his
home and his native State, and be content
to grow up with it to the eminence which
he and it may achieve.

PHYSIOLOGY OF EGGS.

The physiology of an egg has been
pretty thoroughly investigated. and
here is what has been ascertained in
regard to it. The practical use of this
description is to show that we must
see that the fowl is always well kept
The way to have good laying pullets is
to quicken the circulation and strength
en- the system by liberal nutriment.
Every fowl has two small organs
near the extremity of the body, called
the ovaria. They are filled with elias
tic tissue, and feel under the finger like
sponge. The eggs are started here,
and those which will mature year or
two, or three years hence, are in en-
bryo. One is forced up and seized by
the troma, and passed rapidly through
When the egg leaves the ovary it con-
sists of yolk only, but in its passage
through this canal, the yolk is
surrounded by enough albumen to per-
feet the chick The white of the egg
has in it all that nature requires for
making bones, muscles, blood-vessels,
connecting tissue, skin and feathers
just before the egg leaves the body,
this canal has the power of secreting
lime for the she'll This shows how
valuable the egg is as nutriment, and
it also shows what demands are made
for rich food by hen that lays an egg
daily. Besides what she requires for
her sustenance, she is called upon to
secrete the material for the body of an
entire chick, and also retains for the
little creature sufficient to last many
hours after it leaves the shell. 1t shows
that hen cannot make albumen so
rapidly, except out of alhuminous food,
such as wheat, meat, and small ami
mails. 1t is not true that there is GER
tain number of eggs, and that this
number exhausted no more can be ex-
pected; but it is true that the secre-
lions lessen as old age comes on, and
latterly the hen fails to have sufficient
force to carry forward the process.

c1MEL-BREEDING IN wAsHoE.

A Nevada paper gives the follow
ing interesting account of the acclima-
ton and use of camels in that State s.
Son q ranch ON the Carson River,
eight miles below the mouth of Six
mile Canon and about seventeen
miles east of the city, is to be seen
herd of twenty-six camels, all but two
of which were born and raised in this
State But two of the old herd of
nine or ten brought here some years
ago are now living. 1t would seem
that the original lot fell into the hands
of Mexicans, who treated them very
badly, overlooking and abusing them.
The men who have them now are
Frenchmen, and men, it seems, who
had formerly some experience with
camels in Europe. They find no diff
ficulty in rearing them, and can now
show twenty-fonr fine healthy animals
all of Washoe growth. The camel
may now be said to be acclimated to
Nevada. The owners of the herd find
itno more difficult to breed and rear
them than would be experienced
with the same number of goats or
donkeys. The ranch upon which
they are kept is sandy and sterile in
the extreme, yet the aniamls feast and
grow fat on such prickly shrubs and
bitter weeds as no other animal would
touch. When left to themselves their
great delight, after filling themselves
with the course heritage of the desert,
is to lie and roll in the hot sand
They are used in packing salt TO the
mills on the river, from the marshes
lying in the desert, some sixty miles
to the eastward. Some of the ami
mails easily pack 1,10O pounds. 6

From the Paris keutackian, January A.
On Friday morning last Mrs. Mar

tempted 10. violate her person, but
the horror OF her situation, instead of
unnerving her, seemed TO endow her
with superhumaIl strength. She did
not faint, but fought the villain with
might and main, at the same time beg
ging and pleading with him TO desist,
offering him fine suit of clothes, all
the money she had, aud indeed every.
thing at her command. But he per-
sisted IN his heilish attempt, and his
intended victim continued in her
struggles, and making one mighty eff
fort succeeded in freeing herself from
the clutches of the gallows-dcserving
scoundrei. Finding herself free she
run with the speed of an antelope to
the house of the nearest neighbor,
Mrs. James Victor, widow lady,
some half mile distant, arriving
breathless and almost in a nude state,l
the garments which still remained on
her person hanging about her in
shreds, the greater portion having
been torn entirely off in the struggle.
AS soon as she could command her
voice she told the story of the attempt
ed outrage, when Mr.. Alexander Vic
tor Immediately started out giving
the alarm, and the entire neighbor-
hood turned out for the search and
secured the country day and night,
and the villain was captured by Mr..
William Veaeh, brought to Cynthiana
and lodged in Jail Saturday evening.
About ten O'Clock Saturday night
gang of men, about fifty in number,
disguised themselves and repaired to
the Jail and demanded the prisoner.
Upon the jailor's refusal, he was over
powered and the negro taken to a
tree near the graveyard and hung,
neither acknowledging his guilt nor
protesting his innocence. It cannot
be said that the hanging of this negro
was the work of the "Ku Klux,D for
the majority of the executioners were
Union men, and the verdict by all is,
