THE fact is overlooked that by allow
ing stock to retrogrsde in condition Sc
riOus loss is entailed, and the value of the
animal is deprecated, and that to what
ever degree this depreciation extends the
loss can only be regained at cost ex-
ceeding the value of the food which would
have kept the animal in good condition.
1t is an axiom of the live stock industry
that stock rearing and feeding can only
prove remuncrative where the animals
are kept in state Of progression from
the birth to maturity. One of the most
essential things to secure this is COM

HABITUArE the boys to feel an interest
in your labors. Let them realize that
whatever you accumulate on the farm
they shall participate in now and possess
more fully hereafter. Confer with them
as with equals, and thus encourage them
to form ideas on all subjects of practical
interest Make them feel the weight of
personal responsibility, and use reason in
enforcing your wishes, and you will de-
velop manly men that will be an honor

Signs of a Prosperous Farmer.

When you see his barn larger than his
house, it shows that he will have large
profits and small Affections.
When you see him driving his work,
instead of his work driving him, it shows
that he will never be driven from good
resolutions, and that he will certainly
work his way to prosperity.
When you always see his wood-house
q sufficiency for three months or more, it
shows that he will be more than ninety
days wonder, in farming operations, and
that he is not sleeping in his house after
a drunken frolic.
When he has house separate from the
main building, purpose for ashes, and an
iron or tin vessel to transport them, it
shows that he never built his dwelling to
be funeral pile for his family, and per-
haps himself.
When his sled is housed in summer,
and his implements covered both in win
ter and summer, it plainly shows that he
will have good house over his head in
the summer of early life and the winter of
old age.
When cattle are properly shielded and
fed in winter, it evidences that he is act
ing according to Scripture, which says
that "a merclful man regardeth the life
of his beast"
When he is seen subscribing for news
paper and paying in advance, it shows
that he is speeding like book respect
ing the latest Improvements in agricul-
ture, and that he never gets his walking
papers to the land of poverty.

FEEDING FowLs.-In France, where
poultry breeding, feeding and fattening
has been reduced to science, they feed
very little whole grain. A very popular
feed is one-half buckwheat, barley, or
oatmeal, made into stiff paste, and fed
to old and young alike twice day. They
claim that this feed is less expensive, and
promotes laying. Whole grain, however,
will produce fat, when fed abundantly,
but it also produces disease, by impair
ing digestion. Buckwheat is regarded
as the egglaying stimulant. A system OF
liquid examining is practiced by those
who follow fattening fowls as trade.
Barley and milk mixed is crammed
into the fowls by means of a tunnel.
1t is said that one person can cram sixty
fowls per hour, and the fattening process
only lasts two or three weeks. AT three
markets named, upwards Of SIX million
head of fat turkeys are sold annually, all
fatted by this process.

HUMILITY.-He that means to build
lastingly must lay his foundation low; as
in moory grounds they erect their houses

insincere our conversation would be I'M

ed upon the graces of humility; which,
by reason of their slenderness, pierce
deep, and remain firm. The proud man,
like the early shoot of new-felled cop
pice, thrusts out full of sap, green in
leaves, and fresh in color; and bruises
and breaks with every wind, is nipped
with every little cold, and, being top
heavy, is wholly unfit for use. Whereas
the humble man retains it in the root,
can avoid the winter killing blasts, the
ruffiing conclusions of the wind, and can
endure far more than that which does APP
pear so flourishing.

DOM PIATT.s TREASON

The grand jury of the District Of
Columbia has found true bill against
Dom Pratt for a seditious publication and
q warrant was issued for his arrest on
Wednesday. An article In bis paper,
the Capital, written on the decision OF
the commission on the Louisiana casa,
was the basis Of the action against him !;
the particular part regarded as seditious
was this:
II man thus returned to power can
ride in safety from the executive mansion
TO the capitol, to be inaugurated, we are
fitted for the slavery that will follow the
Inauguration.
We do not believe the people Of the
Unit d States are OF this servlle sort. We
do not believe that they are prepared,
without blow, to part with their hard-
earned, blood-stained possessions.
Notice is now served on the citizens OF
Louisiana and South Carolina that
they must care for themselves. How
soon lamp-posts will bear fruit Is for
them 10 say. TO the people Of the North
and West notice Is given that all the toll
to which they are subjected, that bond.

rights, and that a shrinkage OF values is
now in order. II there 10 law tor fraud,
| there Is reason for violence. And to that
we may make our last appeal.
Piatt has published card explanatory
OF the "seditious" article in which he
says;
ITO those who know me it is not nee
| essary tor me to say that nothing was
further from my thought in penning the
editorial of last Sunday than the horrible
| crime OF assassination. Open resistance
| TO a revolutionary wrong for which there

nounced 1t will appear, when taken II
| connection with what precedes and fol
lows, that my appeal Is made TO the PEG
ple and not to the assassin. The Ameri
can people are not assassins, nor vii
they submit tamely to wrong"
1t is Understood that previous articles
in the same paper, regarded as libelou
on President Grant, will be officially nc
ticed in a criminal pros scution for libe

Representative Irwin, from Alexan-
der county, is determ ned to do some
thing to make himself q name, If 1t is
only such as Mr.. Platter acquired the last

to repeal the law requiring the publlca-
ton of the delinquent tax list In news

per is Q splendid thing to help elect rep
resentatiyes, but q poor thing when It is
an instrument to give intelligence to tax
PAYERS, or to inform them the amount OF
taxes they have been levied upon to sup
port said representatives. There is not
a farmer or taxpayer In the state that
would not rather pay the piliful sum re-
quired to subscribe for Q country paper
