SILVER WEDDING.

1t having come to the knowledge of
the friends and relatives of Hon. David
Leach and wife that the 25th anniver-
sary of their married life would come to
them on last Saturday, they quietly made
arrangements to give them a pleasant
surprise. The surprise was as complete
as it was agreeable. Mr.. and Mrs. Leach
have been residents of the county for
over twenty years and have been iden-
tilted With its history in fact, Mr. Leach
has done as much as any man in the
county to make its history; has held
several important public trusts. lie was
treasurer for nine consecutive years !;
was a member Of the first State Senate,
etc. The friends who assembled were
the personal friends of the family,
and the relatives were their own chill
dren, two of whom have grown to the
full responsible duties of life in the coun-
ty, and the younger son and daughter.

healthy for fowls than to be obliged to drink
impure water, and especially such as stands
in pools around thebarnyarl alters shower;
and # an opportunity to obtain pure, fresh
water is given them, they will very seldom
drink such stuff.
4 Keep their quarters clean. Nothing is
more important than this. Many a farmer
who thinks it imperatively necessary that
the horse stable should be cleaned out evew
day. does not think of cleaning QUIT the poul-
try house once in six months. Once a week
at least the poultry house should be cleaned
out, and ashes or dry dirt sprinkled around
under the perches. An occasional coat OF
whitewash over the inside of the house and
the perches will be very beneficial during
the summer months in destroying vermin
A box of wood ashes should be kept for
them to dust themselves in at all times.
If the above rules are observed there is no
reason why every farmer may not add sey-
eral hundred dollars to his income annually.
1t is but little trouble to take care of fowls
thus, when once theconyeniences mentioned
have been provided, and if they are so cared
for the profits derived from them will be in
creased hundred fold; and the fact that
they do not receive such care, as q general
thing, will account for the expression fre-
quently used among farmers, that t. 1T don't
pay to keep poultry There is nothing
that will pay if it is not well cared for, and
there is nothing that can be raised on the
farm that will pay as well poultry, if it is
well taken care of.--Poult7v Nation

December has passed without drop of rain.
The crop reports received frem all quarters
indicate that lthe drought in certain locali-
ties has had disastrous effect on grain and
ieed' IN portions Of San Joaquin valley
ana the lower portion Of the Sacramento
valley, the crops are suffering. Along the
coast counties generally the crops are favor
able, and no trouble is anticipated. In the
northern portion of the State great anxiety
IS felt, but no serious damage has yet result
ed. On the whole, the present indications
are that with rains later in the winter suffi-
Gent grain will be raised for home consump-
tlon, with probably a small surplus left.
Even with rain, large yields Of grain cannot
be expected.

TIL { POULTRY YARD
FARMERS AND POULTRY.

Of late years there has been a great deal
OF talk about hard times among farmers.
Wheat has been low at times, and a great
many persons havebeen obliged to sell when
1t was low. Some seasons the grasshoppers
have destroyed all the crops in southwest
ern Minnesota, in Kansas and in other places.
Is not the moral to be drawn from this. di-
yersify your industries? The farmers Of
some sections devote nearly their whole
land, time and attention to the culture of
wheat and if this crop fails their whole in
come for the year is gone. 1t would be far
better for them to have more sources from
which all income might be derived, and in
ltion the breeding of poultry. Sufficient
poultry might be Kept Oh every farm, with
tout interfering with other crops, to produce
an annual income Of $500 to $500, and ma
Ijority Of farmers families could live COM
fortably OH this sum if all other crops should
fail; and in case of a grasshopper scourge
| the fowls would live and thrive on the pests.
Butt order to realize such an income
from poultry, several things are necessary,
and many improvements must be made on
| the method of keeping usually i'll practice
among farmers, and we would suggest the
following:
| /. Improve your stock. Get some pure
bred variety if you can afford it; if not get
/ a pure-bred cock or two to put with your
Icommon fowls; either Ieghorn, Plymouth
Rocks, Game or some variety of the Asiaatic
will be found to improve q common flock Of
poultry wonderfully in few seasons; but
we would advise getting a pure breed as
soon as possible.
2. Give them better care than farmers
fowls usually receive; do not allow them to
roost on any pole they can find in a she'd or
other outbuilding, or to crawl under the
barn for protection from the winters cold;
/ but give them good warm house of their
own, as comfortable at least as yon would
give your horses, and they will repay with a
| supply of eggs all winter, when they are
thirty cents or more per dozen. But COM
| Portable house is not the only necessity.
Give them good food-not too much corn,
which is frequently the case with farm poul-
i = "a
try. but give them wheat screenings, oats,
| buckwheat, etc, with an occasional feed of
| corn in winter. If oats are fed they should
be first soaked, or there will be danger Of
the birds getting them stuck in their throats.
Some animal food should also be provided
| for them. IF an animal is killed for family
| use in the fall, which is often the case, save
/ all the refuse pieces in a barrel or box, and,
feed it to your poultry; but If you do not
kill any animal yourself, take a box Or bar
rel to the nearest butcher, and get him to
| fill it with livers, lungs, etc., for which you
! will have to pay him but tritling sum, and
] it will be returned to you in tenfold ratio.
3. Prepare suitable places for your fowls
to drink nothing is more injurious and un-

AUTOMATIC BINDERS.

1t is altogether pfoDaDle lIlaI no OtDer one
machine or attachment is receiving the at
tention of manufacturers that is being be-
slowed upon an effort to devise and construct
successful self-binding attachment for har-
vesters Every corporation engaged in
building harvesting machines is looking for
and desiring machine that will do the en-
tire work without the intervention of man
ual labor; it seems that a good binder is
the next great Improvement that will be
added to the harvester principle of gather
ing grain. Farmers will always buy ma
chimes that facilitate labor and while there
may be no pressing demand for this new de-
vice, still it is the natural step in advance
ment, and is eagerly sought for by the har-
vesting implement manufacturers. Several
devices have been worked out that are toler
ably certain to gather and secure the bundle,
but all thus far that have made any noise in
the world, or attracted much attention, are
WIRE BINDERS.
We cannot from memory mention the
names of all the different attachments of
this class that are now being made, neither
are we familiar with all the different harvest
er manufacturers that are engaged in an
effort to populariZe them. We do, however,
call to mind several: among them Walter
A. Woods, Adams & French, G. Ell. 81 l.. j..
Mccormick, Saint Paul Harvester, Cannon
: Il Deering, now sold exclusively by J. ID.
Easter & Co., under recent arrangement,
whereby they have acquired exclusive con-
troll of all the territory of the Marsh Har-
vester; and the Gordon Binder. which is
not made in connection with any harvester,
if we mistake not All these are in the field
and working for favor, but employ wire for
the bands which is, to our mind, q fatal de-
feet.
At the last illinois State Fair we saw
nearly or quite all these different binders set
up and playing work we furthermore saw
TWO experts from the shops work two days
before they could get the Mccormick to even
move, and the neutrality-suspicious., back
ahd-forWard motion indulged in by this &C.
centric device recommended it more as be-
ing adapted fora menagerie to draw o crowd
lhan an Improvement calculated to assist i'll
"arVests; it seems, however, an agpropri'
ate companion for the harvester 1t was built
10 oe attached to--any of the others We're
more SIMPLE and less liable to get out of Or
uer out, as stated. they could only employ
wire IN doing their work, and if any conclu-
SION can be arrived at from the signs of the
ullles the binders employing wire will never
succeed ~ becoming favorites no matter
now wei! the work is done. the presence OF
me wire will always be most serious OBJ
lection, and will result in bring out other
'esices employing less Objectionable mate,
