STEALING 1000 HEAD OF CATTLE.
We learn from gentleman who
lives in the western part of this coun-
ty, that last winter party of men
drove herd of cattle from Bell coun.
tv, cnd kept them for while in
Brown county, near the Hamilton line,
where their herd was added to by a
small herd Of cattle taken principally
from that section. The mysterious
movements Of those in control Of the
herd soon excited in the minds of the
people living near suspicious that all
was not right. The cattle men, know.
ing that they we're suspected, moved
their herd carly in the spring, increas
ing it as they went. Some few weeks
since several citizens of that section,
who had missed cattle, followed the
herd and overlook them about 300
miles west Of here. The herd con-
tanned about 1000 cattle. guarded by
about thirty we'll armed men. The
pursuers identified many of their own
and neighbors' cattle in the field, but
were told they could not have them
and were advised to return home i'm
mediately, which they did; and now
another party Of about fifty citizens ol
the vicinities from which the cattle
were stolen have started IN pursuit oi
the thieves, and it is hoped they will
succeed in capturing them, as well al

A writer in the London Field, states
that poultry properly fed will acquire
all the fatness needed for marketing
purposes, in a fortnight, or three
week at most. Their diet should be
Indian, oat or barley meal, scalded in
milk or water-the former is the best,
as it will expedite the fattening pro
cess They should be fed early in the
evening, just before going to roost,
and give plentiful supply Of pure
water, plenty of gravel, sliced cabbage
or turnip tops. If the fowls are re-
quired to be very fat, some trimmings
Of fresh mutton suet may be chopped
up and scalded with their other feed,
or they may be boiled with milk alone
and poured over the meal. This rem
ders the flesh firmer then it otherwise
would be. When fit to kill, feeding
should be stopped for twelve hours or
more, SO that the intentines may be-
come comparatively empty.

Turkish Bath Cure Of Hydrophobia.

An instance II apparent success in
the treatment Of three children bitten
by rabid dog is reported from Mar
!etta, Penn. The dog also bit heif-
er, a COW, and two dogs. These four
animals all died of hydrophobia. The
physician in attendance upon the chill
dren, DR.. John Cameron Of Whining
ton, Del. had been impressed by the
success Of DR.. Buisson's method, as
described in tho Abeille Medicale, of
treating hydrophobia by means Of vapor
baths. As the nearest practicable ap-
proach to such treatment, DR.. Gamer
on took the children to Philadelphia,
and there subjected them to Turkish
baths daily for two weeks. Although
the wounds were very severe, they
healed without difficulty, and no
symptoms Of the dreaded malady have
been manifested. Hydrophobia, it is
said, does not break out before the
seventh day from the bite. The in
terval is quite sufficient to give the
chance in most instances for the pa
tient to be taken to some Turkish bath
establishment; and hence, if that
method of treatment is effectual, by.
drophobia may be classed among pre-
ventable diseases.

Longevity and Breeding Capacity Of
Fowls.

The Longevity Of fowls and the hens
capacity for laying eggs varies with
different Observation-Disclosures with diff.
erent specimens Of the same breed. It
is commonly supposed that hen will
produce six hundred eggs in the course
Of her lifetime, on an average. This
is true as regards certain breeds, but Is
above and below the right number
with the other breeds. The Lcghorns
are said to lay two hundred eggs pei
year. on the best Of keep and care, but
the average run of this variety will not
do it. Mr.. Kenney, Of Worcester.
Mass, had an important Brown Leg
horn hen which, at the age Of six
years, had laid 1900 eggs. This is a
remarkable exception, however, as
Brown Leghorn birds are known to Re
short lived. Their eggs are larger
and finer: and make better chickens,
but are less in number, and the bird
rarely lives over the second moult; il
she does she is not worth her keep for
eggs.
The black and spangled Hamburg
are excellent layers. They are fine
breed, produce fine, white, large eggs,
and are non sectors. They can be de-
pended on for two or three years, and
are good to cross with other breeds.
The Black Spanish are the longest
livers. Some are known to be in the
full vigor of egg production at eight
years. They are not such prolific lay
ers as the Leghorns; crossed with the
Hamburgs they make fine breed.
The Houdans are long-lived breed,
and give fair percentage Of eggs.
The Dominiques are seldom good for
much after the first year except as set.
ters. This rule will also hold good
with game fowls, except that the eggs
of the latter are better, and for the ia.
BILE the flesh is finer.
The Asiatics are better the second
year than they are the first, if not al
lowed to set, but the Cochins and
Brahmas are liable to decrease that

from obeseness, rendering them at
such times pro6,less as layers. The

FEEDING OF Sort CoRN.-Feed the
soft ears of corn to milch cows gam
in the flow of milk follows Now stop
feeding these soft ears. and give them
the big ears, set with hard kernels, and
it will at once be seen how much more
the soft corn does them. Ii the COWS
are overfed, or perhaps should they
have but little of the hard corn, the
kernel will be found in the manure,
unutilized by the animals. In feeding
q herd of COWS on hard corn, some cows
will be always found not digestine
completely the kernels. It is also OBJ
served that when corn is sent to the
mill before it is sufficiently dry to grind
fine with the cob, it is an unsatisfacto-
ry feed. II does the COWS less good
than We should expect, thus clearly
betraying the fact that at this time the
meal is less nutritious. in itself is less
digestible than meal made from old
corn.-ES Scientific Farmer.

The United States Supreme Court,
in affirming Judge Dillonis decision
used language just as explicit. II
said; pending these proceedings, the
bonds Of the State, in the hands of the
complainant, remain wholly unpaid.
The faithof the State solemuly pledged
for tho payment Of both principal and
interest, has never been kept. = =
The bonds issued are legal
obligations; the State is bound by ev-
cry consideration Of honor and good
faith to pay them"
That the bonds, in whole OF in part,
must sometime be paid is moral GER
tainty. The cry of fraud will not re-
lieve us. The fact that the State
made bad bargain will not do it aud
should not. A private individual
could not repudiete . debt under SINH.
lar circumstances and maintain reput.
able name. He would not be regard.
ed as, and would not be, an honest
man. We know of no code of morals
binding on individuals and not on the
State.
We believe that it would be worth
the face Of the proposed new bonds to
relieve Legislation of those two disturb.
ing elements. The old State railroad
bonds and the Improvement lands
have been the source of more corrup-
tion than anything, or everything, else.
View the matter in whatever light we
may, We are convinced that the mate
rial interests Of the State, and common
honesty demand a favorable vote on
this proposition.
Gov. Pillsbury stated a week ago,
that the holders Of about S1,700, 900
Of the bonds had signifed their wiling
ness to accept the proposed settlement.
No bondholder, heard from, had refused
and it was confidently believed that all
would accept.
