With passion adolescent which 1 would not

A RED PREACHER ON TIE WAR

Major Bingham, of Cheyenne, has
got himself into trouble with an In
dian preacher. This red reverend
father started a report among tie 10
dams at the Agency To the efec. that
Major Bingham, the Agent, had case
of revOlyers which the Great Father
had sent to them. When the Indians
were called up to receive their annui
ties the other day, they demanded
their revolvers, and acted very hostile
because they were not forthcoming.
They would not believe their Agent
for some time. But he vas equal TO
the en- ergeBcy. tie requested 10
know who told them that the Great
Father had sent them firearms. This
preacher was pointed out as their
authority, when the Major went
straight TO the reverend liar and kick
ed HIM out OF the room The Indian
offered no resistance, but went 70 his
wIgwanl, took off his ministerial suit
and donned the breechclout, and de-
clared war against the Agent. lie
swore be would kill Major Bingham
upon the first opportunity, and he
dauded all night and sang war songs
It is feared that the Indian will carry
his threat into execution, aud extra
precautions have been adopted BY the
Agent.

Ten Hen and Chicken Rules.

The following ten rules, applicable
to setting hens and young chickens,
are contributed TO the Cincinnati
Times, by lady:
/ Never set n hen in a close box /;
give her plenty oI room to turn about /;
she will not do well if cramped or
crowded
.. Always get her on the ground, il
possible. The eggs will hatch best
with the nest directly on the ground.
3. Don't give hen more than thir-
teen eggs for a setting. 1 know fif-
teen is the rule, but experience has
taught me to consider fifteen Just two
too many.
4. Be careful 10 mark the eggs, for
other hens are apt to lay in the nest
with your setter, and unlesss the eggs
are properly marked you might not
be able to identity the ne,0 eggs You
understand that eggs laid to a setting
hen must be promptly removed.
s. Mark a record of the time when
you set your hen, in order that you
may be looking out for the Matching.
G. Sons eggs will invariably hatch
a little sooner than others. Remove
the young chicks at once, and keep
them from the hen until all are hatch
ed. IT you do not, the hen will be
likely to quit the nest with the first
corners, leaving the unmatched chicks
to chill and die.
Z. Don't pick at the bills of the
chicks in an effort TO remove what
some people call the ''pip." 1t is all
right, and will disappear as soon as ma
ture requires.
8. Never undertake to feed your
setting hens on the nest; it is a poor
way. Let them come off for their
food. They will not stay off too long.
Nature knows what she is about. The
eggs require about the amount of air
ing they receive while the hen is of
for food.
0. See that the hens do not run
about too much while the chicks are
Yet young. 1t will cause them to
drooP, and will sometimes give them
a disease called the ''syraddles."
10. Feed your young chicks on corn.

The best mahogany comes from
Honduras, in the shape of squared
logs, which are cut into thin boards
for veneerin after reaching the United
States and European markets. The
cutting of the trees and squaring the
logs is done by the natives, in parties
of thirty or forty, the work beginning
in August and continuing until the
last of December. The trees are cut
some ten or twelve feet above the
ground, stages being erected for the
purpose. AS the accessible parts of
the forest have long ago been culled,
the cutting parties are compelled to
penetrate every year farther into the
interior. They build cabins for their
four or five months sojourn, and live
among venomous reptiles and swarm
ing insects as best they may, resting
during the intense heat of the day,
and often working at night by the
light of torches.

Farmers' Wives.

Nursery NOsfruIns,

One of the dangers attending the
use of the various sedatives employed
il the nursery is that they tend to
produce the opium habit. These quscE
medicines owe their soothing and
quieting effects to the action OF opium,
and the infant is by them given ?
morbid appetite Tor narcotic stimu-
ants. The offering for sale of such
nostrums should be prohibited, as
tending to the physical and moral de-
terioration OF the race. In India moth
ers give to their infants sugar pills coz
tanning opium, and the result is a
languid, sensual race OF hopeless de-
bauches. In the United States the
poisonous dose is administered under
another name; but the consequences
will probably be the same.

from a tree in 1873, and put them int,

in 1874, and you will get fruit in al.

thrifty trees the growth of 1873 il
the last of June, leaving three or four
buds that would come out II 1874
YOU would force out the next year
buds and gain one year. Sd. If you
remove all the blossoms on one half o
your trees in the bearing year, YOU
viii have fruit on that half the ode
