they are almost entirely dependent upon
what is given them. 1t is now important
that the stock should be well fed and in
good, thrifty condition. Fowls thus kept
will be vigorous and full Of life, and chicks
hatched from their eggs will be correspond
ingly strong and healthy, and will thrive
and grow better than when hatched from
eggs laid by hens in poor condition.
Whenever they can be had, potatoes or
even turnips should be boiled and mashed
and mixed with ground corn and oats and
wheat bran, and fed warm in the morning.
A liberal feed may be given, but no more
than will be eater. In this feed is the place
to mix scalded sour milk, not enough to
make the feed too thin and sloppy-but as
much as may be without producing this re-
suit. At noon feed a little wheat, buck
wheat, oats or rye, and at night give
''square meal" of corn. Water should al
ways be given at feeding time or soon after,
as fowls usually want to drink after they
have eaten their feed. Pound up a few oys-
ter-shells every day and keep that or cracked
bone within reach Of the fowls whenever
they want them.
Where they are confined to small yards
and have no access to barnyards or other
sources of strawy or forage food, a little
nice, fine hay or corn-fodder may be given
every day. Scatter the grain given as food
among this litter and let the hens hunt and
scratch for it. 1t will afford both amuse-
ment and exercise for them. Fowls fed i'll
this way in clean, warm premises will lay
and their eggs will hatch strong, healthy
chicks.
These may seem Ike minute directions
for feeding chickens, but from observation
we are led to believe that the ma jority Of
poultry keepers either do not know how to
feed, or do not practice what they know.
Now, at the beginning OF the breeding sea-
son, is the time the 'chickens" should be
carefully fed and managed. From good
thrifty breeding stock one may reasonably
expect to raise good, strong, healthy chicks,
and from fowls starved and neglected no
one need entertain great expectations

THE. HOUSEHOLD.

F11tters.-Very nice fritters may be made
by simply rolling the plain dough (after it
has risen, of course), and cutting and frying
as doughnuts, to be eaten with sirup or
sauce. BY putting a lump of risen dough
into pudding-bag, tying, leaving room to
swell, putting into pot of boiling water,
and boiling an hour or more, according to
size, you have an excellent plain pudding,
but it should be eaten with rich sauce.
Curing Pop -Corm.-Pop-corn is often spoil
cd in curing by being put in rooms where
the temperature runs too high. Some peo-
pie are of the opinion that the drier the corn
the better it will pop, but such opinions are
erroneous. Popcorn is best cured in dry,
cool roonl-not in hot, dry room, as can
soon be proven by test.
For Clarifying Vines, Vinegar, Etc.-The
following is said to bleech all colored liq-
uids, and to render bone-blacl1 perfectly un-
necessary; Albumen, 300 parts; neutral
tartrate of potash, three parts; alum, five
parts; sal-ammoniac, 700 parts. The albu-
men must. of course, not be coagulated.
The ingredients are first dissolved in little
water. and then added to the liquid to be
clarified.

THE POULTRY YARD.
INCU2ATION

INCUBATION
is of two kinds, in the practice of poultry
men Of the present day-these being the
natural and the artificial methods. The
common mode is employ hens. The newer
plan is to hatch chickens in the incubator
machine now manufactured successfully
for this purpose, quite largely in the United
States and in England.
a hen in her wild or native condition,
lays her litter of eggs as does the partridge
or grouse. When these are deposited in her
chosen secreted nest, she sits upon them
twenty-one days, and matches her brood
commonly numbering a dozen Or fifteen
chicks. BY using hens as we do in an arti-
fetal or domesticated state, they lay more
eggs in given time, and then after q rest
of few days, they will 90 to laying again
and again, without evincing disposition of
broOdiness.
Some breeds of fowls, commonly called
''non-sitting" varieties, will pass through
the entire year without inclinng to sit at
all. But, as a rule, all kinds Of hens show
a desire to sit more or less, at some time in
the twelve-months.
Fowls that are pampered with excessive
high-feeding, will oftenest become broody.
And the Cochins and Brahmas which we
indulge with such gross feeding, are the
most persistent in their desire to sit. These
will cling to the nest determinateiy, when
the fever is upon them, or they viii. squat
upon glass eggs, stones, or nothing, week
after week, at times, when they have laid
out their first litters.
Probably it is the better course, in the
long run, to permit these birds to sit awhile
say for three weeks-even If they have
under them only wooden Or artificial eggs

promptly as we shall find they will do if We
annoy and poster them with our attempts
to ''breall them up" and foil their setting
Intentions.
The Matching season in our northern eli
mate is SO brief, however, that is to say, the
term when chickens can most profitably be
got ont, is so short, that with our best fan
cg breeds, it is found necessary to get al
the eggs we can from these birds in Febru
airy, March and April, for hatching pur
poses. And therefore it is an object tc
/ keep the hens at work during this period as
II steadily as possible and to set their eggs
lnder common fowls, or hatch them IN the
| incabators. During the present month, all
the eggs that can be conveniently set
should be placed under the hens at an early
day. After this month-although GOOD
chickens may be raised from tRe May hatch
fngs-the summer and fall COMES and passes

HEBREW FARMERS.

~AA~AN-@~A~~'
The Jews Of the United States are inaug-
tlrating a movement for the establishment
Of agricultural colonies in the west ana
south. 1t is remaI kabe departure for this
people to undertake. Such a person as a
Hebrew farmer is hardly known in the MS
tory of this country.
The subject of colonization was first dis
cussed at the annual convention of Hebrew
congregations at Cincinnati last summer
On that occasion committee was appoint
ed to further consider the matter. This
committee has reported that in their opih-
ion the true emancipation Of the Jews con-
sists in the greater infusion OF spirit OF
manhood and sef-dependence, which can
best be done by encouraging the millions OF
Esrealites dwelling in eastern and southern
Europe to become farmers and mechanics.
The committee points to the broad, tree
acres Of the West, ready to yield untold
wealth, and to import to millions of Jews
that spirit OF true independence that the
owner and tiller of the soil always enjoys.

tries are of patient, persevering, tireless
nature In trade they are close, active,
sharp and successful Centuries OF perse-
cution have failed to break either spirit or
ambition. Their physical and mental en-
durance is something wonderful. They
slowly emerge from the bondage Of ages,
and their representatives control the treas
uries Of the most powerful civilized govern
ments of the world, direct their grandest
commercial enterprises, dictate international
treaties, and the foreign and the home poll
cies of nations.
Looking at the vast accomplishments OF
this remarkable race Of people in other df-
rections, what may we not be prepared to
see them do IN this new field to Which they
now turn. We predict tor Jcwieh agrlcur
ture in America within the present century
success that shall be the marvel OF agri
cultural history. With the Hebrews once
fairly enlisted, we shall see farming prose
cuted as a business, with a thoroughness
and a success heretofore unknown either
abroad or at home.
The movement, as we said before, is al
entirely new departure in the industria
habits of the Hebrew race, as it has existed
| for centuries. but it is to be remembered
that it is but return to the life and Worl

SHOCKING CHILD MURDER.

The tcn .year-old son Of James Gar

Chelsea saw mills, was enticed away
from its parents residence, on Keel
street, last Thursday evening by an
unknown negro.
Late last night the disconsolate

boy in DR., Thomas's field, north Of the
Brick Church, Chelsea. The child's
body bore evidences of the most brutal
treatment on the part of the murderer,
and a struggle had evidently occurred.
when the murder was committed. The
man who took the child from his home
promised to- pay him fifty cents to
carry a satchcl from the Louisville
depot. What motive could have in
stigated so inhuman a crime is at
present unknown.

be demcntdd, perpetrated the crime,

MEMPHIS THEATEE.-A play of the
wild west is that Of Milton Mobiles
as presented at the Memphis Theater
last night. It is full of exciting scenes
and striking incidents, and Mr.. Mobiles
in the leading role might be fifty
termed a true mar Of the people"
The play was well received by the au-
dience. 1t is in course Of repetition
at the matinee today, and tonight The
Phoenix, or the Villain still Pursued
Her, will be given. This closes the
engagement of the Milton Mobiles
troupe.
George Boniface, the polished actor,
will open in the Soldiers Trust on
Monday evening next. 1t is a new
play, founded on an incident in the
army list of Napoleon. Briefly told
it is as follows:
Corporal Antoine is entrusted with
his generals child, with papers estab-
fishing her identity and leaving her
certain valuable estates. A notary
was to deliver up these papers to the
person prououncing the maiden name
of the generals wife, an arrangement
understood only by the general himself
and his faithful corporal. The gen
eral is killed in an attack which imme-
diately follows the imposition of this
trust, his wife is lost sight Of, the
child is taken to the corporal's home
and reared as his daughter, the corpo-
raj is subsequently captured and con
fined as a prisoner in the mines, but
escapes after eleven years and reaches
his native village. Frochard, deputy
mayor of the place, has taken posses.
sion of the generals unclaimed land,
steals the old soldiers Identification
papers, puts in their place Che amount
of money stolen from the poor-box by
a scapegrace the previous night and
publicly charges him with being a
vagabond and thief. This shock
strikes the old corporal dumb he
cannot read or write. His despair at
the calamity, his efforts to express the
necessity Of pronouncmg a name
which none of his acquaintance have
heard afford Mr.. Bonifacc the oppor-
tunity to display his powers as a por-
trayer of the emotions, and his sorrow,
regret and painful casting about for a
way out of his difficulty excite the
sympathy Of his audience to a very
marked extent.
There are a number Of other excit-
ing incidents in the %plot-onc where
the dumb soldier meets a fellow com
rade wounded o. the battle field, tho
latter committing suicide without
revealing the name Of the general
which he knew also an effort on the
part Of the fraudulent "Frochard to
marry tho generals daughter, thereby
securing a legal title TO the estates

BAR MEETING YESTERDAY.
Opinions that are Very Various.

The lawyers meeting held at the
Chaneery Court room yesterday, in
relation to the proposed Judiciary
changes, was less harmonious than the
public was led to believe. The reso-
lutions, as adopted by them, we're not
warmly and cmphatically Endorsed by
a large majority, but met rather tame
favor.
Colonel Josiah Patterson opposed
the proposed abolition Of the
Bartlett Court, in the interests
of the widows and orphans.
Judge Craft desired to ask the legisla-
ture to let the Judiciary system severe
" alone, as far at least as Shelby
county is concerned. Judge Heiskell
fayors a consolidation of jurisdiction Of
Chanceay and Circuit Courts, but
thinks the present an inopportune
time to carry it into effect. Judge
Wright thinks if any change is made
the number Of circuits should be re-
reduced. Each system, Chancery,
Circuit and Probate, should be kept
to itself. He also believes we have too
many officers, a number being super
fuous and useless. Minor Meriwether
thinks that when there are two cir
cults in II county one judge should
sit as chancellor and one as circuit
judge. He wishes to preserve the
Probate Court and let the Bartlett
Court be wiped out. Colonel CAN'T
has no desire to throw stones, nor does
he wish to dictate to the legislature.
Colonel Finlay says Tennessee has
thirty-seyen judges, while North Car
elina, with as many people has but
thirteen. Judge Smiths amend
ment, which was added to the resolu-
tons previously adopted, declares Thai
if the legislature deems it wise to re-
duco the number Of circuit and chan
Gerry divisions it will be perfectly sat
isfactory. Senator Clapp has intro
duced a bill into the legislature "a
carry this last proposal into practical
effect, and the chances favor its pas
sage.
