lnosmuch as experience demonstrates that
some breeds of hens are vastly more prolific
than others, this statement, of course, can be
applicable only to the average of poultry.
CEMENT FOR PRuNING.-Dr. T. II. Hos
kins, of Vermont, who has had much ex-
perience in orchard management, finds the
following composition for a cement to encase
wounds made by pruning, the best he is ac-
quainted with; One quart fine North Caro-
lima or pine tar is to be boiled slowly for
three or four hours. Add to the boiling tar
four ounces of tallow and one pound of bees
wax, and stir all together we'll. Remove
the vessel from the fire and stir the contents
till partly cooled. As soon as the cement
begins to thicken, stir in pound of pow
dered and sifted clay, previously prepared.
Stir till nearly cold, to prevent the clay set
Ting. In summer, this cement is Just soft
enough to be easily spread with a point of
knife. 1t excludes moisture and does not
harden or crack. The boiling of the tar is
necessary SO drive out the turpentine. This
application is similar to but better than the
pine tar and brick dust mixture, which we
employed many years ago for the same pur-
pose.
RENoyATING An OLD TREE.-W. II. Noble
furnishes New York agricultural Journal
an account of his process for renoyating an
old tree which as so far gone that shell
only was left on one side three inches thick.
although the trunk itself would have been
six inhces in diameter. The insects which
had eaten it were cut out, the surface shaved
smooth, and the whole painted with thick
coat the holes and creviccs were plugged
with putty. The work was very properly
done early in spring. This was twenty. five
years ago. 1t has since never failed of
crop, partly from newly inserted gratis.
Such care was doubtless accompanied either
with manuring or cultivation, which will
do more to restore the vigor of an old tree
than any pruning alone.
TREEs FREEZING SoLID.-Dr. IIoskins.wbo
lives in the coldest part of Vermont where
The mercury sometimes freezes, says that
when this takes place he does not think that
any portion Of tho sap of the trees remains
unirozen yet the harder varieties endure
this cold unharmed. We have often obsery-
ed the shoots of the apple, pear and peach
frozen stiff when the Thermometer sunk to
100 above zero, without injury. The micro
scope showed them to be filled with ice crys-
tails; no injury resulted from the freezing.
Everybody wonders how we are able

Have You ever been ont to the Zoo
The beautiful Zoo, Zoo, Too
Where the lions growl and the tigers howl
At the Squawk OF the cockatoo,
Where the badger badgers the monk
And climbs up the elephants trunk,
Where the camel humps and the baboo
jumps,
And the big snake swallows the skunk?
There she rabbit, shivering-lee,
Sits scared as scared can be,
While the anaconda skins up limb
And casts an eye on he.
There the moose, 80 light and free,
Is skipping the ira Ia lee.
And the bippopotanus rolls in the mud
And sports with the bunBle-bee.
There the OWL sit up in a row
And solemnly blink at the crow;
The sea lion sports, and the sloth cavortS
Beside the bounding doe.
Aud the coon ma kes love to the gnu,
While the Barbery hog chews glue,
And :he buffalo sits ON a hickory-limb
And wiuks at the kangaroo.

Where the wild. eats purr and NEW,
And the boa constructor playfuliy bites
The ear of the cockatoo.

Memphis and the Yellow Fever.

Senator Stanley Matthews, having re-
turned to Cincinnati from his visit to
Memphis as member of the Yellow Fe-
yer Commission, said to reporter last
week:
"Memphis people dread very much
the recurrence of an epidemic of yellow
fever. They are encouraged to believe
that the severity of the winter will de-
stroy the germs of the disease in this
country, and prevent its reappearing
next season. But in the event that it
should break out again next summer in
New Orleans, the feeling is such that the
people of Memphis and along the river
would certainly isolate New Orleans
completely-if not with law, then with
out law. They would not allow boat
to ascend the river, and if necessary
would plant cannons on the bank to
prevent it. They would not allow
railroad train to carry passenger from
that point. That is their present feel
ing and expressed determination, not
confined to any class"

KIDNAPPED.

Ten years ago, the laws regulating adj
mission into insane asylums in some of
the States were so lax, that sane people
were too frequently incarcerated in
them. Eleven perfectly rational per-
sons were at one time released by order
of court from one of these institutions.
II was during this period that the fol-
lowing incidents occurred. Shortly af-
forwards the laws in the State in which
the events took place were amended so
that such abuses became practically i'm
possible.
In 1865, a young lad named Walter
Dunbar arrived in Philadelphia, and
presented himself in the counting room
of Mr.. George M'Cann, dealer in furs.
The boy was the son Of one of Mr..
M'Cann's old friends, Hugh Dunbar, a
planter in Maryland, who had died two
or three months before, leaving his
whole property to his son.
ain two years." said the lad, 81
shall be of age. My father gave me q
commercial education. He advised me to
come TO Philadelphia and learn the
business of furrier with you if you
were willing 10 take me into your store
'Old Diogenes,' he said, would find no
more honest man than yourself, if he
searched the world over'n
Mr.. M'Cann smiled, but his eyes grew
dim, ''Hugh and l have been friends
since boyhood," he said, quietly. "I
shall be glad to help his SON."
"My fathers plan was" said young
Dunbar, "if l should like the business,
and you should be willing to take me as
partner, that when am of age, that
l should invest my capital with you.
Ny guardian, Col. Thorpe, opposes this
plan violently. But came on to fulfill
my fathers wishes"
"Col. Thorpe is your fathers half
brother, think"
Yes" young Dunbar added after
n pause, "and heir TO his estate if /
should de-
Mot much chance for the Colonel"
said Mr.. Mccain, laughing as he scan
ned the boys ruddy face and broad
shoulders.
al hope not. mean to live as long
as l can. As soon as l am of age, too,
l mean to settle part of my fortune on
my sister Jessy," said Walter, with
sort of dogged obstinacy in his manner,
which had already impressed Mr.. Nc
Cam as q noticeable feature in his char
acter.
'Did your father leave another
child?" he said, surprised.
"No. But he married a widow after
my mothers death. She was a tender
mother TO me if she was step-mother.
Jessy is her daughter. My step-moiher
died year ago. and MY father always
intended to provide for Jessy in his
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1879-01-25
Walter followed, bewildered,

Walter followed, bewildered, but
shaken by a sudden hope.
In the yard was a farmers wagon full
of potatoes. The Superintendent had
refused to buy them, the price being too
high. The man was in the kitchen, bu;
in few moments would return to drive
away with them.
Deuce-ace who had all the qnickness
and cunning of his disease, had heard
the sguabbling and had made his plan.
Walter understood it at a glance.
'Lie down! lie down." said the old
man, huskily.
Fortunately, there were no keepers in
sight. Both Walter and the old man
eagerly pushed aside with their hands a
sufficient number of potatoes, so that a
hole was made large enough in which
they could both lie down Then they
hastily covered themselves as much as
possible with the potatoes.
They were so much concealed that
unless careful scrutiny was given they
would not be noticed. 1t was twilight,
and the gathering darkness favored
them.
The farmer came at last. "Gee up!"
lashing his horses.
Just then keeper came along. $50
in into town to sell emp" said he.
"Guess not. No time for trade now.
Ill take 'em to Hestonville to my BROTH
err"
The wagon jolted on and stopped.
They were unlocking the gate. Walter
clenched the old mans arm like vice,
so terrible was his excitement
One moments breathless pause, then
the wagon moved and the. gate closed
with heavy clang behind them.
When the farmer had driven one or
two squares, Walter softly freed the old
man from the potatoes, and they drop
ped noiselessly into the street. 1t was
dark and raining hard.
They ran behind projecting build
ing and hid. They saw the gate of the
asylum open, and the keepers, with
lanterns running out in pursuit of the
wagon. Their flight was known.
As soon as the men had passed, Walter
ran with his companion into the street.
Late that night, Mr.. Mccain was
reused by violent knocking at the
door. He put his head out into the
storm, and the next instant rushed like
a mailman down the stairs, shouting
"Wife! Jessy! 1t is he! it is he!'
He dragged Walter in, and they hug
ged the boy, and laughed and cried
over him all at once. But in the midst
of his joy Walter found time to pull the
old man forward, crying, "He saved
mel"
"And potatoes" said Deuce-ace,
bowling low, and beaming on the COM
pany.
His friends afterwards took charge of
the old gentleman, but kept him at
home. Col. Thorpe was forced to re-
store the property he had so wickedly
obtained the control of, and Dunbar at
forwards became partner of Mr.. Me-
CAMS, marrying little Jessy when he
became of age.-Youth's Companion

not neglect it. l promised him on his
death-bed to be good to her."
"And your uncle, the Colonel, does
not approve of Jessy as DEPENDENT"
shrewdly guessed Mr.. M'Cann.
"No. l brought her here with me.
She is Is years old. l thought you
would be good enough to advise me
where to, place her at school. l have
some ready money, and that, with my
allowance, will be enough for us both
until l am of age, if we economize."
The end of the matter was that Mr..
M'Cann took the boy and his sister, VINO
proved TO be a bright, affectionate little
girl. into his own house to board. They
needed home and that motherly care
which good Mrs. M'Cann, one of the
kindest and strictest of Scotch women,
was able to give them.
The arrangement was, too, in every
way pleasant to the M'Canns. Young
Dunbar, though no scholar, was pos

in the firm. The business now was but
small one, for Mr.. M'Cann was com
paratively poor man.

though Philadelphia is one of the great
fur-markets of the country"
Dunbar received his allowance quar-.

himself in every expense. The money
which other young fellows spent in CT
gars, jewelry or drink, went for Jessy's
clothes or schooling.
Early in the spring OF '66. he ap-
peared in the office one morning in
great excitement, but with the logged
obstinacy showing stronger than usual
in his face.
"What is wrong, Walter?" asked Mr.
Mccain.

Thorpe. He formally demands that
shall return to Baltimore at once, give
up Jessy, and enter his family, as being
totally incompetent to take care of my
self. He had better take care how he
