The MOffett Register.

Speaking of the Moffett Register,
the State Auditor of Virginia says:
"Judging of the future by the par
tial returns of the last few weeks, l
feel safe in expressing the opinion
that a half million dollars of revenue
derived from it will fall rather below
than exceed the amount that u fair
gears work wiU yield. l have reason
to believe that an effort will be made
to repeal this act. | trust it will not
succeed. Revenue must be had from
some quarter, or the State becomes
bankrupt. Shall it be raised from an
increased rate of the tax on property ?
This can hardly be expected nor, in
deed, do I think it necessary. Shall
it be from a tax on oysters 2 Some
thing, it is true, might be raised from
this subject, but this, in my opinion,
is unnecessary if we can obtain the
revenue by tao on the consumption
ofliquor. This has been the great OBJ
jective point of successive general
assemblies. and of all persons who
have carefully considered the fnan-
cial condition of the State. This has
now been accomplished. Tile lIof
tet register has solred the difficulty. Let
us give it a fair trial for one year. i
it succeeds, we'll if not then modi-
, fly or repeal it. I feel we'll assured
that if the question were submitted
to a vote of the people whether rev
enue. shall be raised by a tar on prop
erty or a tax on the consumption Q;
liquor, the preponderance of votes il
favor of the latter plan would be a
least ten to one. I hope the act vii
not be repealed"

COlfax Chronicle.

Why Dave G. johnson or any other
man has not the same right to bet
upon any number that is in the great
gambling wheel of Chas. T. Howard
as to bet upon a horse race or the
state of the weather we fail to. see.
But David had a s25 fine to pay or
go to Jail; and thus Charles T. is
made happy and continues to grind
his swindling machine.
1t is about time that monstrosity,
the Louisiana State Lottery, was
wiped out of existence. How is that
Howard can imprison any one who
initiates or practices his swindle
gamee The act that enables him to
do 50 is undoubtedly unconstitution-
al, and is a disgrace to the State. We
trust enough manhood will be found
in the Legislature to rid US Of, the
fungus. 49,

AMONG the FARMERS.
The Origin Of Fowls.

1t is an interesting study to con-
slider the various breeds of fowls ana
note their origin. Their names arise
from some other popularity in their
form or appcndage. For instance
the Do,klings are named after DorK'
ing, in England the Black Spanish,
or, as they are otherwise known,
everlasting layers, after Spain, tue
polands came from Poland; the
I!oudans pronounced lIoudon), from
l!oudain, France; tho Shang hals are
named after Shanghai in China; the
Bn!f and Patrilc Cochin, Chinas also
take their name from Cochin, China;
the Siberia or Russian fowls, from
Russia the Maylays, Java, CoIum-
bians, Barbarys, Dutch fowls, all
from their respective countries. There
arc also the Guilders, from Guildcr-
Land, Holland, the Bolton grays ana
bays from Bolton, England, and the
Shakebac, named from Tie fact that
they were carried to cockpits in bags
which the owner shook as challenge
for some other bird. There ale many
others, such as the Creve C"urs
from France, silky fowls from China
and Japan, lIamburgs, Lcghorns aud
Brahma Pootras, all of which indl-
cate whence they arc named. Then
there arc crcerers, a small variety OF
Bantams, with small legs; the Jump
ers mentioned 10y Button, another OF
the diminntive races, are so short leg
gcl that they are compelled to att
vance by dumping instead OF step
ping. Pumpkins. or tail-lcss fowls
came from the wild breed of CcyloD

A Novel Way Of Making Jelly Cake.

A Novel Way Of Making Jelly Cake.
Take the whites of six eggs, one
cup of white sugar, same of flour, one
teaspoonful of butter, two table,
spoonfuls Of sweet milk, two tea
sroonfuls cream Of tartar and one of
soda. Bake in a large oblong, drip
ping pan, so the cake will be very
thin; meanwhile stir another batch,
making just the same, with the ex-
ception of using the yolks instead of
the whites; when both are done,
spread when warm with jelly, or pre-
serves of any kind; put together,
bring the largest side of the cake to.
ward you, and roll Immediately, or
cut in four or eight parts, put togeth-
er alternately, putting jelly between
each layer, and frost lightly over the
top. Another method is to make
three pans, making the third layer
of -thild el.sand sugar, proceed
ing the same as for tho other layers
in putting together let the first layer
be the yellow, made of the yolks
then the red, and lastly the whites
Nicely frost the top, and you have ;
beautiful as well as a delicious part,
cake. They ale very pretty mad,

To Breed Pigs Successfully.

From the experience of successful
swine breeders it is pretty we'll es-
tablished that to keep pigs growing
and thrifty all wiuter, it is important
to give them dry, warm place to
sleep; good drink, either warm slop
or fresh pumped water; and to keep
not too many hogs in an enclosure,
and they as nearly as possible of a
size. If You have large and small to-
gether, the big ones will run over
the little, and they will not get their
share of food. There is much more
danger of cholera or epidemic diseases
where the conditions mentioned
above are disregarded than where
hogs are kept thrifty and growing,
and certainly there is more profit. A
dry VAIN bed is a cheap luxury for
hogs in winter, and every farmer
should prepare shed and plenty of
material in the fall.

Storing Root Crops.

If one has more carrots, beets or
turnips than he has cellar room for,
they may be covered with earth in
heaps near the barn, and in such a
manner that q load Of them can be
drawn to the cellar at any time during
the mild weather of winter, and thus
have a supply for stock during the
entire winter season. Make the
heaps 10 the same manner as pota
toes are wiutcred in the field, direct
ly on the top of the ground, if the
land be level, but the bed to be
slightly raised above any standing
water that may lie upon the land. Ii
on an elevation, the bed may be one
or two feet below the surface of the
ground, eight or ten feet wide, and as
long as needed. Pile up the roots III
some order, by placing the outside
ones crowns out, and coming to a
peak in the center, about six feet
from the ground. Then cover with a
long straw so as to shed rain; then
cover with earth, a few inches thick
now, and more before tho ground
freezes, so as to be proof against frost.
When some of the roots are wanted
in winter, go to the heap on mild
day and open one end carefully, and
take out a load of them, then replace
tho straw and bring enough more
loose straw or poor hay to protect
the roots from frost at the end open
ed; and then whenever you want a
load of roots, remove the straw and
get them. 1t would be we'll to pro-
tect this straw from rain BY placing
boards against it. Carrots stand first
as food for COWS, next beans, then
turnips. Horses that ale not worked
much will keep in fine condition on
hay and carrots, with a little grain
when worked. 1t seems to me that
any farmer who has no roots to feeC
his stock, from now on through the
winter, is in a very poor condition a:
regards economical fodder. If any O

grow any roots this season, | earnest

farmers were making ready to plant
cotton seed.
Cotton bales continue to roll in from

enough to replant i'll case Of failure to
get a stand.

he cannot make the bond.
Wheat is splendid, and there is a
