The whitewash process is In order
this month and next, for fowl houses
and fences-inside and outside. The
common method of half cleansing the
poultry premises, has been in vogue
so many years, and farmers are so
prone to adhere to the old furrow in
doing these things, that they need to
be reminded every spring and fall
that complete cleanliness OF fowl
houses and runs is essential to sue
cess. In whitewashing the interior
of poultry house do not not leave a
spot even as large as the head OF a
pin untouched anywhere. Plash the
whitewash literally into every nook
and corner, crack and crevice. II the
hennery has floor of cement, stone,
brick or boards, whitewish that also.
The plan of whitewashing" is
very good and serviceable way to
renovate the houses, and to purify
the premises. But the use OF lime
alone in this work, is not so good q
method as the following:
Into the whitewash pail, when the
liquid is prepared for application to
inside work, while the lime water is
still, drop tea-cup full Of soft boiled
rice, and mix it thoroughly through
the mass. Then pour into q quart
pot of cold water, say ten or twelve
drops OF crude carbolic acid. Mix
this into the rest, and swab the in
terror Of your hen house with it.
For outside work. use rock-salt dis
solved instead of boiled rice, and dis
pense with carbolic acid. No other
preparation OF whitewashing' ever
equalled this, within our knowledge,
and no one who tries this once will
ever be content with any other combi-
nation. for poultry buildings The

in a wine making district, and being

ed state. We discovered that the
liquor in its unfermented condition is

Rev. DR.. Field says, in the ErangeI-

was man to be respected and to be
loved. 1t is thirty years this coming
May since we first saw Plus X, in ST.
Peters, and riding about the streets
of Rome. As we looked into that
kindly face, it was easy to see the
character of the man; that he had
tender heart and the best intentions,
but that he was not a man born to
rule. Had he been a simple parish
priest, or bishop in some quiet COR
ner of Christendom, where wars and
revolutions did not come, he would
have been revered and loved as the
father Of his people, as true pastor,
the sympathizing friend Of all who
needed his care; a good shepherd.
who cared for his sheep, and watched

When to Prune Fruit Trees.
Long experience shows that when
it is desirable to produce a free
growth of shoots and leaves, pruning
should be done when the trees are
dormant, as in the winter season, or
early in the spring, before the sap
begins to flow. When fruit trees ap-
pear to grow too rapidly, and to pro-
duce too much wood, they may be
pruned moderately in the summer
season, cutting away portion Of the
wood by degrees, but a shoot grow
ing in an improper place may be cut
away at any tine. An experiment
made by pruning apple trees every
month in the year. for two seasons,
showed that the wounds OF the
branches cut in February and March,
at the end OF FIVE years, when all had
healed over, were found to be least
decayed under the healed surface.
When trees are pruned in winter, or
1 may say at any time, it is best to
cover the wounds with hot mixture
of tar. and pulverized brick dust or
fine sand. A solution of shellac in
alcohol, as thick as can be applied
with a brush, is considered by many
as the best preparation that can be ap-
piled.
/, During the mild days of winter. or
chards may be pruned-while little
else may be Gone, but good judgment
should be exercised in regard to Sc
lecting the branches to be cut away.
1t is ruinous to an orchards to cut
and slash away one third to one-half
the limbs. All that should be done
is TO give the trees good shape, and
only cut away such limbs as are
plainly in excess Of the natural re-
quirements Of the tree to conform to
the extent of its roots. If we take
away too much Of the top Of a tree, it
is like taking blood from man-the
more that is taken, the less vitality
remains in him, therefore in pruning,
only the few unsightly branches. and
those improperly situated, should be
cut away.-Rtsral Neac Yorker.

REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.
A Dead Body Becomes Completely
Petrified i'm Twelve Years.
(From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.)

IetTilftU lWtINt IcdISs
(From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.)
About twelve years ago Mrs. Weis,
an estimable lady aged about so, died
at her home near the city, and her
remains were inferred on the farm of
arelative, Mr.. Jacob Koepf, about two
and one half miles north of Fort
Wayne. AZ the farm was about to
pass out of the hands of the family,
the body was yesterday disinterred
for the purpose of being removed to
the Underwood Cemetery. The
coffin, which had been resting in a
damp place, was found to be well
preserved. When opened the re-
mains presented most striking ap-
pearance. The features were un-
changed, having altered in no respect
since 9eath. The body was complete
ly petrified, every portion Of it being
as hard as rock. When struck with
the hand the resulting sound was as
loud as il stone wall had been hit.
Mrs. w. was very large woman in
her lifetime, and when she died
weighed about 200 pounds. The
weight of the body yesterday was so
great that it taxed to the utmost the
strength of six large men to move it.
The lines OF the face were hardened,
and the entire body was as rige das a
bronze statue. The remains were
complete, with the exception of the
feet, which were gone, there being
only two small bones left, which were
detached from the ankles. The body
was brought to this city yesterday
and reinterred in Underwood Gene
terry. Mrs. Weis was the mother-in-
law of John Vordermark, Esq.

Mr.. Speed is native OF Kentucky
but in 1886 opened store in Spring
field. Two years later, as he stated
in his lecture, Mr.. Lincoln came to
Springfield, riding a borrowed horse,
and, alighting at Mr.. Speeds door,
entered and asked the price OF suf-
ficient bed clothes to fit up single
bed. Upon being informed that, to-
gether with a mattress, they would
cost $17, he replied that he had not

The TEMPERANCE MEETING AT TIE BROAD
STREET METHODIST CHCRCH.-On Sunday
at 8 O'Clock a series Of temperance meetings
to be held during the week in this city
were commenced at the Broad-Strcet Meth.
odist church in the presence OF fair con-
gregation.
Rev. Preston Nash and Rev. R. n. Sledd,
OF the Methodist ministry, were present, be-
sides the two temperance lecturers, Messrs.
George W. Wells and George NJ. butcher,
and the Rev. DR.. Warren, OF the First Bap-
tist church. ..-'.
The services Of the afternoon were COM
menced by Rev. Mr. Nash announcing 4
hymn, which was sung by the congregation.
He then read q chapter from the Bible, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Dr.. Sledd.
Mr.. Nash introduced Mr.. George W.
Wells, who delivered brief address, in
which he said that few thoughts connected
with his own experience might present the
subject in another light to his hearers from
that which they have heretofore been in
clined to regard it. He had travelled from
Texas to California, but in all OF his wan
derings and experience he had never lost
the impressions made upon his mind by hls
pastor, minister OF the Baptist Church, on
the subject OF the use OF the intoxicating cup.
The speaker then went on to say that
there are $3.50, 100000 invested in the liquor
business and $3.50, 100000 in the manuiac-
ture Of articles in which liquor is one OF the
| component parts, and that 100000 acres
OF ground is used to cultivate grain from
which liquor is made. He had endeavored
to bring this information to the attention OF
the public three years ago and to make war
against the traffic. He next spoke OF the
temperance revival-meetings he had been
holdings; that men who had been drunkards
all their lives had signed the pledge until
the number had been swelled to 1000. Up
to this time it had been signed by the heads
/ OF $4,000 families. -
Mr.. butcher was next introduced by Mr..
Nash. He spoke about fifteen minutes. bis
remarks being chiefly recital OF his own
personal experience. He claimed, be said,
nothing for himself; it was the Lords
work. He kept his eye upon the Lord, and
upon his suffering fellow-nan who is bound
by the terrible curse. He spoke OF the
ldreadful suffering, both in soul and body, OF
the slave OF the Intoxicating cup. No
tongue can ever tell it; no artist can ever
paint it. He spoke OF the sufferinss OF his
mother. whose husband was drinking
man; OF the hunger that she and her chill.
dren had suffered because their father was
drunkard; and then of the Joy OF that
mothers heart when her husband and boy
became reformed.
The speaker said he was born in a log
cabin on the Hudson river, in the State OF
New York, and it was there, when the snow
was four feet deep upon the ground, that
they had suffered, and there that he resolved
to 60 forward to aid his feilow-man In free
ing himself from this dreadful vice:
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dutcher's re-
marks collection was taken up to pay the
| expenses of the two lecturers.
Rev. DR.. Warren then offered closing
prayer, and Dr.-Sledd pronounced the bene'
diction.
