A MOTHERS iINFLUENoE.-How
touching is this tribute of Hen. 7. II.
Benton, to his mothers influence !:
"My mother asked me never to use
tobacco; have never touched it from
that time to the present day. She
asked me never to gamble, and I have
never gambled; I cannot tell who is
losing in games that are being played.
She admonished me too, against hard
drinking; and whatever capacity for
endurance I have at present, and
whatever usefulness I have attained
through life, | have attributed to
having complied with her pious and
correct wishes. When I was seven
years of age she asked me not to
drink, aud then I made res solution
Of total abstinence, and that I have
adhered to it through all time, |
owe to my mother"

FARM NOTES
The habits of csnker worm are Dc

The habits Of canker worm are pc
culiar. The miller that lays the eggs
for the worm commences coming out
Of the ground as soon as it begins to
thaw in the spring, and Immediately
crawls up the tree and lays its eggs
in and ON the buds, which hatch as
soon as the tree begins to leaf, when
the work of the worm commences
These millers are hardly ever seen in
the daytime, and they never climb q
tree except at night. From half an
hour to an hour after shutdown they
appear to pop out of the ground and
start straight for the tree. The
female has no wings, and in crawling
up the tree gets stuck in the tar or
printers ink, that should be applied
to the trunk Of every tree, and is
thus destroyed.

Day EARTH BEDDINa.-If any
one will observe when the COWS choose
to lie down in the yard or pasture, it
will be seen that they choose the bare
ground, rather than the sod or bed
ding Of straw. The same is true Of
sheep. We have taken this hint and
furnished the COW stable with dry
earth bedding. Leaves and straw are
poor absorbents in comparison. In
the pig pens the dry earth has no
equal. In very cold weather we add
straw or leaves, but until the weather
10 very cold, the animals will be more
comfortable with bed Of fresh soil,
or of soil changed once fortnight or
week. In the chicken house we
have learned its great value as q
deodoriser. Our roosts are over q
sloping floor, on which we scatter dry
earth. The droppings roll down into
. pile of dry earth. This is turned
over with q shovel each week or often
or. and we can say the chicken house
10 free from any offensive odor, and
the bright combs and glossy feathers
tell Of the good health Of the fowls.
Dry earth is good preventive of
vermin on cattle, pigs and poultry,
10 must be procured at Q dry time, and
stored under shed or Ia the stables.
1t not only promotes neatuess and
health, but saves the very elements
OF the manures which makes them
most valuable, and most Of which
would evaporate If not absorbed by
the dry earth. We do not like il as
. bedding in horse stables, but it
should be found 10 every stable, to
sprinkle the floor with as soon as the
bedding ID removed in the morning.
When removed from the stables, styes
and coops, il should be kept under
cover till used.

FATTENING PoULTRY.-To fstten
poultry properly pen or coop for the
purpose is necessary. Turkeys, ducks
and geese do not need to be confined
but fatten better when allowed their
liberty if they have enough to eat.
It ia different however with chickens.
The fattening coop should be large
enough to afford comfortable space
for the birds to stand and sit in but
little moro is needed. The front Of
the coop should be Slated SO that
the birds can easily get their heads
through and eat from trough close
enough to be easily reached. 1t is
best that the coop have Slated
floor and be set up high enough to
allow the droppings of the fowls to
fall through and be promptly and
easily removed. The feeding should
be done with judgment, only as
much should be given as will be eat
en- up; if any is left it should be
removed and given to other fowls.
The outside trough must be covered
80 as to prevent outside chickens or
turkeys from eating the feed intended
for the fattening ones. Water must
be within reach OF the fowls after
they have eaten, and care must be
taken to see that the birds all agree.
If quarrelsome one is discovered it
Is to be removed. It takes about two
weeks to fatten pen Of chickens.

TIE BaIDE OF JAMES, THE HIGHWAY
EXAM

Samuel Ralston, the father-in law of
Frank James, was interviewed by cor
respondent of the st. Louis Giobe-Demo-
crdt recently. MIR. Ralston, before the
war, was one of the richest and best
known men in Jackson county, and owned
and lived on what is known as the Preston
Roberts farm. Here Annie Ralston was
born. and her education was the best that
could be obtained. During the war Mr..
Ralston's farm was raided from time to
time by jayhawkers, his horses and blood
stock stolea and stampeded. Since 1874,
when she left Independence to visit the
family of Ezra Hickman, in Kansas City,
Mr.. Ralston has never set eyes on his
daughter, and during the seven years has
but once received direct word in any shape,
aud that was when she sent a note telling
her father she was married and going west,
signing herself Annie Reynolds.
Has Frank ever been to see You since
he ran away with your daughter ?"
"Once. He came suddenly to my house
in 1876, before l went to Texas. He ar
rived early in the morning, but for some
time refused to leave his horse, apparently
fearing capture but at last he did dis
mount and took breakfast with US, but
would not take the saddle from his horse. !"
"What did he have to say ,"
"Well, he talked about Annie good
deal. and said she was well, and wanted to
know if l had forgiven him. told him he
was a id rascal, and had stolen my
daughter. and I wanted her to come back.
He Stated that if 1 did not forgive her she
would never return, and IN any case
.,-o,,IJ ,,of coo her for ten wears | ranlied
that his life was SO uncertain that his wife
should be in place OF safety, but he only
said /: BY Cd, she shan't come back,
and Won shan't see her. Then he mounted
his horse and rode away"
