As to tho removal of county officers by

this, even o legal Governer could only gus

Watson is the legal collector of the tax, and
while only Chamberlain can suspend him, he

He admitted that, personally, Hampton is

This is not, by any means, a dangerous or
troublesome complaint. 1t is simply rough
scurf on the legs and toes, resembling scales,
of dry, hard or horny substance. 1t is
very easily cured. Take the fowls affected,
that is all that have rough, scaly or unclean
legs, place them in a coop where they can be
easily secured. Battle the legs well with
kerosene oil, one after the other, replacing
them in the coop. Repeat daily until you
see signs of the scales cracking or scaling
of-perhaps three or four applications
then with blunt knife remove, by scraping,
all the scruf and scales that can be scraped
off without drawing blood, after which
bathe again with kerosene, and then anoint
the affected parts with lard and sulphur.
Repeat the same operation every day until
cured. and then do not feed much corn, and
keep your yards clean and free from mud
At the first return of the symptoms, treat
again the same.-Am. Poultry Journal.

POULTRY CULTURE.

In the culture of poultry, as well as other
stock, a systematic rule has to be followed,
a regular time to feed and water, a regular
time to clean their houses, &c. This SO
familiarizes them to their keepers that they
soon become acquainted with each other,
thus affording increased confidence in both;. !.
and the owner soon comes to understand
well their wants, nature, peculiarities, and
diseases, (Which is the greatest hindrance we
have in this business). But by proper care
these diseases can be kept under control to
same extent; by selecting good locations,
and by keeping their houses free from all
poisonous odors and using some of the lead
ing tonics, etc. TO keep free from these
poisons, good ventilation, a thorough clean
ing at least once a week, and fumigating
every three months is all that is required.
AS to the kind, select the variety which you
think will suit you best. If you take no
interest in poultry you had better follow
some other business, for you will never sue

PARTRIDGE cocH1Ns.

Partridge Coohins are now so well known
and so deservedly popular, that nothing
new can be said about them. They are
magnificent bird in size, color and shape,
when finely bred, and always give satisfac-
ton to those who fancy large fowls.
AS winter layers, they are among the best,
make good mothers, and as table fowls are
first-class. They are quite hardy, and only
suffer in winter in their combs, which, like
the combs of all large single-combed birds,
are liable to be frozen in extremely severe
weather, unless the poultry house is very
warm.
Taken altogether, the Partridge Cochin is
one of the most valuable of the Asiatics,
and first rate variety for new beginner to
select, as they breed very true to. feather,
are easily confined, and retain their beauty
long time, even in city, where it is almost
impossible to keep the white varieties in
presentable shape.-Ams. Poultry Journal.
GIVE your fowls plenty of dust or ashes
| as a bath, and good supply of lime rub
bish and gravel.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES FROM MONTANA.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES FROM MONTANA.
g Homeward the plowman plods his weary way.'
Although in mid-winter when the best
and other counties were passed, but little
blowing had been done, the farmers being
too busy in harvesting and threshing either
to put in much grain or prepare the ground
for the coming season. The most of this
kind of work is done in the spring.
Gallatin county is more highly favored by
nature than any other county in the Terri
tory. Besides possessing a very large area
of tillable land, with soil deep, rich and
mellow, it is well watered by the Jefferson,
Madison and Gallatn rivers and their n,,-
merous tributaries, the former uniting and
forming the Missouri at the northern ex-
tremity of the county, near where Lewis
and Clarke once encamped, for the winter
as the remains of their old stockade may
still be seen on the spot.
THE GRASSHOPPERS.
The crop of Gallatin valley is said to have
been not SO large as usual the past season,
from the fact that less grain was put in for
fear Of being destroyed by the young grass
hoppers, as the eggs had been deposited the
previous year.
BY the way, contrary to the views Of most
political economists, this so-called grasshop-
per pest is looked upon by many intelligent
farmers rs a blessing in disguise. Ithas the
tendency to check the supply. California
and the older States have the world for a
market. Montana has no outlet for her sur
plus produce. The home market is easily
glutted. Labor is comparatively high and
as consequence, an abundant yield from
year to year would so reduce the price Of
grain as not to pay for the raising. Such is
the argument. TO say the least, it looks
plausible. Such questions may well be lef,

2. What is the earliest date at
which we may expect this much

3. Do you contemplate con-
Meeting Morgan City with

4. In event that you are not

5. If it is not your intention to
go to Orange, what route do you
propose?
6. Do you, as reported here
oppose the connection with Orange
because of it's interfering with your

Morgan City and Houston
7. Are there any difficulties in
/, the way OF an immediate movement
towards carrying out this con-
nection?
MR.. MokGAN's REPLY
is as follows }t
226 FIFTH AVENUE.
New York, July 2l, 1879
DR.. w. E. Brickell, etc.:
Gentlemen-I am in receipt of
your favor OF 9th inst. You ask
me if it be my intention soon to
have an all rail connection between
New Orleans and Texas and also
what is the earliest date at which
you may expect this much desired
connection. In reply | beg to say
that l am not ready at present to
answer these inquiries.
take leave to add that l now
feel, and for long time felt, the
necessity OF an all rail connection
between New Orleans and Texas,
and I further say it is no fault OF
mine that such connection has
not been made years ago. some
years since I offered Of build such
a railroad without any aid from
your State, il the Legislature
would give me charter on this
condition only: That the Legis-
lature would agree to grant no OK
orbitant subsidy to road TO run
parallel to mine.
But the State refused me q
charter on this condition. After
that / connected myself with the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
Railway Company for the purpose
Of building a road between New
Orleans and Texas by that means.
This attempt resulted in that
company's taking from me aboat
81 ,20O, 900 Of property and money
"a dead loss to me--but not In
the construction of railroad.
You will see my attempts hitherot
to accomplish the railroad con-
nection Of New Orleans and Tex
as have not been profitable to me
nor beneficial to New Orleans.
/ should be happy to see such 9
road built and should be pleased
to make traffic connections be-
tween New Orleans and Morgan
City, and | wish your good CITY
all success in accomplishing the
work.
I am, gentlemen, very respect
fully yours,
