The two implements which do the
most toward liberating the fcrtilixing
minerals from the soil are the harrow
and the cultivator. The more they are
used the less weeds we shall have. and
the more fertile will be the land.

FOWL RAISING ON A LARGE SCALE.

| The New England Farmer gives m
interesting description of the great hen
merry on the estate of John w. Brooks
East Milton, Massachusetts. There arc
four ranges Of coOps, each l70 feet long
with yards attached, fenced with good
picket fences nine feet high. Each build
ing has roof sloping northaard. and
is Is feet wide by 10 feet long. Tho
southern side is provided with large
windows occupying nearly half tho
front side of the building, and also with
sliding wooden vcntilators, which can
be all thrown open or closed together by
simple attachment A passage-way,
three feet wide, extends the whole length
of the building on the north side; from
this passage the fowls are parti'ion
of by a hath fence, through which they
reach their heads to feed from the small
trays arranged on the floor Of the pas
sage, preventing the fowls from scratch
Ing and soiling their feed, while at the
same time the trays and drinking pans
are easily accessible to the attendant.
Each coop is SKIP feet. with yard about
Sx20: as there are some eighty of these
coops, each able to accommodate fifteen
hens, there is room enough for over 1 :
200. The appointments Of the coops
are excellent; water is supplied by a
powerful windmill; everything is kept
in most excellent order and cleanliness.
Light Brahma, brown and white Leg
horn, Plymouth Rock, Polish and Co.
chin China are the breeds kept. The
best layers of eggs are the LegiiOrns,
and the finest cross from Brahma hen
with Leshorn cock in fact, this cross
is very useful one both for eggs and
poultry, coming to early maturity and
being very productive. The method Of
feeding the fowls deserves notice; they
are fed in the morning a warm mess of
soft food, consisting Of Ioiled roots mix
ed with meal, shorts and beef scraps !:
in the afternoon whole grain, either
oats, barley, corn or wheat giving them
a change from day to day. They have
always clean water in the pans, and
crakccd oyster shells and cabbage, or
some raw vegetables always in reach to
pick at. But the most attractive, as
well rs the most peculiar feature Of this
establishment, is The artificial Matching
aud brooding apparatus. The incubat-
or used here is known as the ''pcrfect
hatcher" il is heated by couple of
lamps at one end the eggs are in trays
under tank OF hot water, and the tenn
pcraiure is regulated by metallic rod
over the eggs, which, by its contraction
or expansion, breaks or completes an
electric circuit, which, acting ON clock
work escapcment, gives power enough
10 open or close the vcntilators. The
machine docs very good work, having
hatched from 20 TO 50 per cent. of tho
eggs placed in it. II holds $50 eggs at
A time. The chicks, as fast as Matched,
are kept in small paper boxes lined
with flannel, and kept warm till they
dry of. when they are ready for the
mothers. These mothers are

The Berger's and Their New Company
A cotemporary says Too much
cannot be said in praise Of the instru-
mental music by the Berger family. for
they never fail to delight an audience
with their artistic and complete rendi-
ton of the most difficult compositions.
The programme included selections by
the company as parlor orchestra,
singing melodies on the Swiss bells,
cornet and saxophone solos, and char
acter songs and delineation by Mr..
Chas. Duncan. The ventriloquial, hu-
morisms of Mr.. G.. w. Brewster, assis-
ted by his family of blockheads, is the
best and purest fun we have ever wit
messed. Never have the Berger's offer
ed the public an entertainment so re-
plete with novelty. sentiment and hu-
NOR, and withal of such prominent ar
tistic excellence. We must not fail of
one word of endorsement Of the Ber-
gers Grand Military Band. In their
costly uniforms, their drill and their ex-
quisite playing we must acknowledge
them The finest organization we ever
witnessed, either travelling or stationary.

A Novel Idea.

A Novel Idea.
A writer in the Newberry HERALD
Of the 26th, over the signature of WET
and Dry" suggests rather novel idea
for retailing liquor. He proposes that
the Council refuse to grant any more
license, and for that body to establish a
liquor house of its own; keep nothing
but the best liquors, and deal it out by
the bottle. In other words, for the
Council to prohibit the sale of liquor BY
any others than thcmselves-even
Druggists are to be denied-and for the
city fathers" of Newberry to become
the lordly and dignifed proprietors Of
one big Saloon, alias bar-room. Of
course. said writer would expect the
members of Council to get their drink
ing free: If so, the thing might not pay.

never heard Of failure to cure VII en- proper
" taken. commenced the use of i. on my
slaves, between 1880 and 1855. and as also
did number Of my neighbors, and in every
case that came within my knowledge it ef-
tected @ cure. In 1885 my brother-in-law,
George Walker, bought at auction slave
not warranted. After the purchase it was
discovered that he had had Syphilis for
twelve years. His head was without L hair
on it. He treated him with this remedy, and
in four weeks he was sound and well, and in
a short time had as fine head Of hair as
was ever owned by negro. Hc owned this
slave many years, and he never had any re-
turn of the disease, nor lost days work.
This is only one among hundreds of instances
of remarkable cures made by this medicine.

remedy that would so fully accomplish what
it is recommended to DO.
