Artificial Stufhng.

1t is consolatory TO know that many of
the best judges and most practical breed
ers Ct poultry strongly object to the cram
ming system, and assert that no cOntine-
ment whatever, either in dark or light
places, is necessary in order to enable the
birds to acquire flesh. That poultry will
get fat enough oy freely foraging for
themselves seems clear from the we'll
known anecdote of the sagacious pullet
that was kept in a farmyard from which
the pig sites were rallied off. On the pigs
side of the ratings were their feeding
troughs, abundantly supplied with bar
ley meal. These troughs were in full
view of the wise fowl, who used to play
50 vigorous beak with the good things
apportioned to the swine that the farmer
had the birds wings clipped, to prevent
its flying over the ratings. Thus foiled,
the intelligent biped proceeded to con-
struct a curious train of reasoning from
combined circumstances. 1t watched the
wanderings of a pig that had strayed from
his appointed residence into the farmyard;
and, as soon as the animal got close to the
rails, the astute pulet flew on to the quad
ruped's back, thence to the top of the rail
ings, and so downward into the Land of
Goshen-that is to say, the trough full of
barley-meal. Instinct alone could scarcely
have guided this preternaturally cunning
bird, but instances of such sagacty
may be accounted rare; and, although
the sensible and humane breeders
hold that fowls are best fed and fat
tened freely on the hard grain of barley
and Indian corn, with perhaps a few cold
pot2toeS now and then "to amuse them"
and some cabbage or other leaves, as
substitute for grass, our artificial condi-
ION OF civilization necessitates the con-
unual supply to the market Of poultry in
prime order" Again, although all real
eplcures give the preference to fine, full
Favored barn-door fowl over the coarsely
and greasily- gorged animal, it is to be
feared that at least the practice of cram
ming turkeys has not yet become an ex-
ulct one. The examining system" has,
oi course, its advocates, and it has been
'olndly proclaimed that the birds like
ana willingly submit to the operation
When they are used to it--opeping their
ueaAs voluntarily to receive every fresh
pellet destined to be stuffed down their
lAFoats. But, as it is impossible to ascer-
.aln The real sentiments of the fowl or
t"'key, We are entitled, reasoning from
analogy, TO hold that they do not like TO

The Quality Of the Blood.

Upon the quality Of the blood depends, in
q great measure, the vigor and health Of the
body. II the blood is wanting in nutritious
properties, the muscles are sure to be weak
skin sallow and dry, the cheeks hollow, and
the eyes lusterless. To improve the quality
of the blood, stimulate digestion and assimi-
lation with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Under the influence Of this strengthening
cordial the body is efficiently nourished and
the flesh grows, in consequence, more
abundant, the muscles become more COM
pact, the cheek is tingcd with healthful
color, and the eye regains its, brightness.
The Bitters also free the blood from impuri-
ties by stimulating the Kidneys and bowels
to thoroughly perform their duty Of carrying
off the refuse OF the system, which, if not
entirely got rid OF, poisons the vital current

Learning 70 Piae an INSTRUMENT.
Experience goes to show that the boy
or girl who learns to play upon some
musical instrument has provided himself
With THAI which will be ID ID many ways a
sourse Of pleasure and proftin after ears.
As means of se.flentertainn,eut the
ability to play even passably well mon
flute, violin or guitar, serves to bridge
over many lonesome or weary hour, to
drive away many insidious temptation tn
wrong doing, and furnishes a constant
element of culture to the youth of either
sex. In addition to to these there are
many indirect advantages-the restraint
which music and its associations afford in
keeping boys from bad company and
questionable palces of resort, while the aid
which it gives in making our young men
and young ladies agreeable in society, with
other advantages, tnite to make the cult
vation Of musical talent eminently desir-
able. Let the parents encourage the
musical faculty whenever it is manifested,
and instead of looking upon the time and
the money thus spent as wasted, do
everything 10 their power to develop the
musicial> talent and, faculties of their
children. 1t is true that there are few
cases in which any remarkable musical
talent will be brought to light, but it Is
less musical talent then general musical
cultivation that is desirable, and this cult
walton is best secured by making musicians
Of as many Of the people as possible,
Besides. it must be remembered that all
work and no play does not elicit the
highest or best possible results, and that
no recreation brighteEs and stimulates
the intellectual faculties like music
Encourage the children not only to sing but
to play, and they will in after wears
appreciate the kindness ana forthought
which have aided them in forming their
musical tastes.

The Senatorial convention for
Greenwood and Lyon counties,
which met here on the 7tb, placed
in nomination for State Senator
MAJOR Almerin Gillett, of this city.
The nomination was rather a sur
prise to both the Major and his
friends, because his name had not
been mentioned, we believe, I'LL the
day Of the assembling of the con-
vention at least it had not been to
our knowledge. The Office was con-
coded TO Lyon county, and the
names of several good men had been
canvassed, but when the time came
it was found they were not candl-
dates. While Greenwood conceded
the Senator to Lyon there was a
feeling that better thing could not
be done than to send Hon. VIM.
Martindale back 30 the Senate. This
was quite largely shared in by the
people and delegates here. but Mr..
Martindale put qUietus on any at
tempt in that direction by positive
ly forbidding the use of his name.
The delegates from Greenwood
were partial to Major Gillett, as he
Is about as well known in that coun-
ty as in this. When the time came
he was nominated by reclamation.
The members of the convention are
really TO be congratulated on doing
their work SO well. We look upon
the nomination as in every way a
very fortunate one. Mr.. Gillett To-
Gated here at the close of the war,
in which he made a most honorable
record as a true, fighting soldier.
He opened law Office, and by close
application 10 bis duties; by that
gentlemanly intercourse which is
characteristic of the man; by his
inherent integrity and straight-for-
wardness; by clear-sighted ability (;
by that patient industry which al
ways brings its reward, he has built
up a practice only e.celled by one
law firm in the Southwest. He has
been twice elected attorney of this
county, and has for years occupied
a position among the leading law
yers of Southwestern Kansas. We
look upon Mr.. Gillett as being Pc
culiarly fitted for the office of Sem
ator. He is sound, has a clear in
tellect, experience, industry, hon
esty, the best personal character,
and manners. He is able to take
care of himself and the interests OF
his constituents in anv deliberative
body. His nomination gives almost
universal satisfaction, and he will
be elected with but little opposition

Spanish vessels of that name. A por-
