The Avenger OF Blood.
From the Columbia (Ga.) Spectator.

About IL o'clock on Sunday there en-
tered this town from an easterly direc-
ton male and female rider. They
rode leisurely upon the public square,
exciting no particular curiosity in the
minds of those who saw them. After
making some small purchases at con-
fectionery in this place, and inquiring
the nearest and best route to Horse
Cave, the riders disappeared from town,
taking the Glasgow road. Subsequent

Poultry Breeding.

ooAt1J xD1OOUAAAe
FEW PRACTICAL HINTS THEREON,
It is assumed by many persons who
have attempted the experiment that
poultry breeding is q "humbug," and
that it "costs more than it comes to, :"
to try to rear fancy fowls. The class
who assume this complain that because
they have paid high price for fowls.
and having placed them in bleak and
damp positions they do net meet their
expectations as egg-producers, nor can
they rear chickens successfully; the
fowls become diseased and die, and the
owner becomes discouraged, and hence
is ready to cry out "humbug." The
great trouble with such is that they
have no knowledge of the management
of poultry, frequently allowing them to
shift for themselves, expecting or as
Stunning, because they have paid fancy
prices Tor fowls, that they should be a
source of profit without the least care
or trouble. This is an erroneous idea
to get into the head of a new beginner.
Fowls can not be bred profitably and
successfully unless proper care is be-
slowed upon them.
Before a person begins the breeding
or keeping of fowls, he should mark
ont some definite plan for his houses,
ETC., keeping in mind on the outset
that the henneries should as q general
rule face the south, for fowls like
flowers, will always thrive best when
they have plenty of sun and light, pure
air and free ventilation, without drafts.
We would recommend, if it were posi-
BILE, to have two sets Of breeding houses,
and to secure success in Matching, mate
your adult cock birds with yearling pull
lets, and the yearling cockerels with
adult hens two or not exceeding three
years Id, and the produce in almost all
cases will prove healthy and vigorous
birds.
Do not neglect to feed your breeding
stock regularly and at stated periods,
and see that they have clean, fresh wa
ter Immediately after giving them their
feed. if you are not fortunate enough
to possess self-watering fountain. We
do not believe in the idea advanced by
some shiftless breeders, that because
the ground is covered with snow in the
vicinity of your coops or runways, your
fowls need no water, but can Stake their
thirst sufficiently with snow. Our ex-
perience is that fowls allowed to Stake
their thirst with snow for any length
of time are liable to scours and diar-
rhna, anu eventually death.
There certainly is no difficulty in
breeding fancy fowls if a person will
use ordinary care and forethought.-
And as to the profits derived therefrom
there is not a question. We have bred
fowls more or less for the past thirty
five years, have studied their habits, md
can speak with some degree of certainty
upon the subject. Therefore we have
no hesit,ncy in advising those who have
repeatedly asked us the question, "Can
poultry raising under ordinary circum-
stances |'<: made to pay 2" to try and
prove the matter for themselves.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
What CaliEorni. Thinks Of 1t.

"00t C0111Oe01o Vn1nK0 OF He
From the Department of the Interior,
with it's appreciation, comes to us q map
and plan OF national park to be set
apart as q government reservation.
The location is on the head waters of
the Yellowstone River, between the
18th and 45th parallels of north lati-
tude, and 10 and Ill degrees 10
minutes longitude west from Green
wich. The area of the proposed park
is 40 by 333 miles, embracing 1883
square miles and a fraction, or about
$685. acres. In the southeast corner
of this parallelogram comes in drumming
almost due north) the Yellowstone
River. After flow of ten miles the
river enters Yellowstone Lake, of an
irregular shape, ten to fifteen miles in
extreme length and width.
Near the centre of the park the river
debouches from the lake, and after
traversing for a few miles the hot
springs region, tumbles over the Upper
Falls and enters the Great Canon, six
miles long. Coming out of this canon
it receives number of small tributary
streams, from the east and west, and
passes through another region OF hot
springs. The southern part of the
park is partly watered by the head of
Snake river, flowing southwark, and
with Clark's Fork forming the Column
bia river. About ton miles from the
southwest corner of the park is Madison
Lake, q small body of water two miles
long by one wide. This lake gives rise
to Madison's Fork of the Missouri,
which flows northward and westward,
watering, with many tributaries large
part of the west centre of the park.
The level lands are along Madison's
Fork, and are in the centre of the park,
spreading around the great plateau of
Yellowstone Lake and the hot springs.
1t is most picturesque region, en-
bracing some of the grandest aud some
of the most beautiful scenery on the
continent, with lakes, rivers, mountains
and valleys, all in charming proportion
and most pleasing contrast. But the
policy of setting apart so large an area
of the public domain fer the exclusive
delights of the rich, and shutting out
actual settlers and cultivators, is I'm.
American and ought not to prevail
