Confined Chickens.

On some farms tho crops raised are
OF such kinds that they cannot be in
jured by the poultry, which, conse-
quently, have wide range. There
are, however. many poultry raisers who
are obliged to confine their fowls in
run of greater or less size, and who are
not careful enough to provide amuse-
ment for them. A few tomato plants
set in one corner of the yard, protected
with lath until the fruit begins to ripen,
and then throw open to the chickens,
will give them healthy, cheap food.
and what is almost as necessary, exer-
else. The melon rinds and eeeds, and
an occasional head of cabbage, will be
enjoyed. It is an excellent plan to
plough up the yard couple of times
in the course of the summer. It brings
worms and bugs of various kinds to the
surface and makes q good scratching
place. If sown with oats and corn the
young plants will be eaten. Any
butcher will sell large basket full Of
bones and spoiled meat for very
small sum, and often he will be glad to
give them away. If you have an out
side cooking apparatus throw all this
into caldron, cook and feed; if not,
cut off the best pieces of meat, put
them in an old pot with few pieces of
charcoal. and beg place for it on the
kitchen stove. The charcoal will pre-
vent any offensive odor. Chop fine any
pieces that are too bad to 60 to the
house, and every bit will be eaten.
Throw the bones in one corner of the
yard and they will produce worms and
maggots in great numbers. In some
parts of France these white maggots
are bred on purpose for chicken food.

THE decision in the debate on Wednes-
day evening, at the meeting OF the liter
ary society, was won by Prof. Kerr and
Mr.. Bradshaw on the part of the afiirma-
tive. The negative side of the question
"Resolved, That the revenue law passed
by the last legislature of our territory
ought to be repealed" was ably support
ed by Messrs. Roberts and Haler. The
discussion lasted an hour and . half, and
brought out the various good and bad
points of the law In their strongest light.
The question for debate next week will be:
Resolved, That the President OF the U,
s. should be elected by the direct vote OF
the people, the person receiving the high
est number OF votes to be declared the
choice" This question will be discussed
by Mr.. G. NJ. Haller on the pait of the
affirmative, and Mr.. G. M. Bradshaw on
the part of the ncgative-with such as
sistants as they may select. We look for
some facts, figures and items to be brought
out In this debate. The members will be
allowed to invite visitors, who will receive
a cordial welcome.

The report of Thos. III. Carter, Railroad
Commissioner of Virginia, for 1879, would
be dry reading to any but railroad men,
but for one thing, and that is the CORES
pondence. The alacrity with which the
Commissioner has replied to letters con-
veying complaints from citizens against
railroads, the courteous frmness with
which he has pressed those complaints up
on the railroad authorities until the cause
was removed. is something to be admired.
From the complaint of a farmer about his
cow being run over, to letter about that
intricate question--local and through
rates, every letter addressed him appears
to have received prompt and efficient at
tention. The correspondence (which is
printed) puts the railroad authorities in a
better light too than they are generally
credited with. They seem to have been
very prompt in rectifying errors and the
advantage of having disinterested State
officer to deal with seems to have greatly
aided all parties.

Temperance.

Editors indicator:
Your estimable paper, so full Of items
in the interests of all classes, seldom con-
tains any thing concerning the temperance
work. This ala sure is no fault of yours
but is attributable to these who have this
great work in hand. 1t is true you can
not devote your columns to the promotion
of these societies, but short, newsy arti-
cles would certainly not be out of place.
There are five or six lodges of "Good
Templars" and as many Of Friends" and
ssSons'' in this county. Have none of
these, items of interest for the temperance
readers of your paper Deeply interested
in the same cause let "Sons" Friends"
and sGood Templars'' look around them
and report, through your paper, how the
nv s.Watchman what of the night" find
an answer from every community and all
will be benefited by the general knowledge
thus obtained.
1t is the aim of all temperance workers
to interest every one directly, if we can,
and Indirectly if no more, in behalf Of re-
form and sobriety. And how are they to
be enlisted in cause they hear so little
about !?
Then let us use our county papers in en-
couraging each other and informing the
public of our notions and aims, and in
time we will win many we know not now.
Especially do / appeal to the Good Temp
lars of the different lodges to let us hear
from them. It is doubly important for
them, as they have no county organiza-
ton for the mutual advancement of the
order in our county. =
These lines, respectfully submit, and
hope they may not be written i'll vain.
Ex-JUDGE APPLE JACK.
Then why don't the Elk Judge set the
example by; furnishing the VINDlcAToR,
items concerning the working of the six

We see now and then notice in a Re-
adjuster organ to the effect that some one
who has been to Augusta has discovered
marked change In favor Of that party. This
painfully reminds us of two Staunton edi-
tors who visited Rockingham repeatedly
during the last campaign and came home
the week before the election with the i'm
preston that there had been marked
change of sentiment against John Paul.
The impression visitor gets largely de-
ponds upon who he talks to. Augusta can
be carried with ease tomorrow against
any endorser of the past record and future
plans of the Readjuster Combination. 1t
will be so carried at the first election.
Still more-We are of the opinion that the
reaction among the Democrats, caused by
the plans reported to be in progress to di-
vide out the political power of Virginia
with the blacks on questions entirely dis
connected with the State debt, will make
that Combination as bare of supporters
next November as the forest trees of Au-
gusta will be Of leaves
