One of the secrets Of successful poultry
raising is the art of feeding properly, not
merely at regular intervals, but on the most
suitable food and keeping the chicks grow
ing as rapidly as possible from the very
start 1t is very poor economy, to stint the
poultry, especially young growing stock for
| when once stunted it takes II long while to
| recover, if ii does occur at all. For the first
twenty four hours after the chicks emerge
from the shell, they should remain under the
hen nnmoestcd, both to dry and gain strength
and hardness. They do not require any
food, as the store nature provides will last
| over this time. As the chicks hatch some
| times irrcgularly, the Older ones can he cared
| for in the house until the others are ready to
| be taken away, when the hen and her brood
can be removed to roomy coop, with II tight
| board bottom and a rain-proof roof They
| should be fed five times daily, but only Just
what they will eat up clean The first food
| should consist of stale bread moistencd in wa
ter or in fresh milk, the milk is decidedly pref
| cradle Do not wet the food, as very moist or
| soppy food will cause sickness and high rate
of mOrtality among young, tender birds. Keep
the water flor drinkingl away from them
| until they are six to eight weeks old, but if
milk can be spared, give them occasional
drinks OF it, The too lavish use ofcorn meal
| has caused more deaths among young chicks
| than has cholera among grown fowls. Until
| the chicks are half grown, corn meal should
| he but sparingly fed, hut after that time
when iudiciously used, is one of the very best
| and cheapest foods for fowls and chicks.
| Nine tcnths of the young turkeys and guinea
| fowls which die when in the "downv" state,
get their death blow from corn meal, as tits
| u very common practice because it is so
| handy" and suits lazy people so wclD to
| merely mOisten with cold water some raw
corn mcaland then fc, d it in that way. Young
| chickens relish occasional feeds of cracked
wheat and wheat screenings, while rice, well
boiled, is not only greedily eaten by. the
chicks, but is one of the very hest things
that can be given. 1t frequently happens
that damaged lots of rice, or low grades of il,
can he bought, ut low figures in the cities.
As il increases SO much in bulk in cooking
it is not an eXpcn i've food for young chicks
even at the regular retail price though it
would not, ordinarily, pay to feed it to full
grown fowls very literally or very frequently.
In the absence of worms, bugs, etc, dur
ing early spring, cheap parts of fresh beef can
be well boiled and shredded up for the little
chicks, but care must be taken not to feed
more trcqu, ntly than once in two days, and
only then in moderation. This feeding on
meat shreds in very beneficial to young
turkey and guinea chicks when they are
shooting their first quill feathers, as then
they require extra nourishment to repair the

her to cut them off and hem them over. The

l am think of the old farmhouse
How snug IL used to be;
Of the locust trees that grew so tall
That have shaded you and me.
| am thinking of the roses too,
Trained by careful hand;
OF jessamine, both white and blue,
How we watched their leaves expand
am thinking of the change of years
How our home has passed away,
How the things that once we cherished
Have crumbled to decay.
And where are those once fondly loved?
Some scattered east and west
And Others gone to dwell above,
Housed in their quiet rest.
MAXWELL.

The village Smthy stands:
The smith. mighty man is he.

And the muscles Of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp and black .'and long.
His face is like the tan:
His brow is wet with honest sweat

And looks the whole world in the Gacr.
For n" owes not any man.

You can hear his bellows blow:
Nnu can hear him swing his heavy sladgC
with measured beat and slow,
Like the sexton ringing the village bell.
when the evening sun is low.
.>nd children coming home from school
Look in At the open door:
They love to see tho flaming forge.
And hear the bellows roar.
Ana catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chan from thrcShingfiOOr.
He toeS on Sunday to the church.
And sits among the boys:
He hears the parsOn prav and prcnCh
He hears his daughters voice.
Singing in the village choir.
And it makes his heart rejoice.
II sounds to him like her mothers voice.
Sit ging in Paradise;
lie needs must think Of her once more.
HOW in the grave she lies.
And with his hard. rough hand he wipes

Toiling -retOicng-sOrrowing

Each morning sees some task begun.
Each evening sees il close

Has earned nights rcpose.

near Red Eye, Mimi, was taken from
Jail at Perham, on Thursday morning,
by body of armed men. They escort.
ed him to the suburbs of the town
and told him that he must forfeit his
life for the crime. The boy, who is
only IA years old, then addressed the
Gro owd, that he had been indicted to
the act for which he was about to die
by reading sensational novels and an
irresistible impulse to make noise
in the world by some bloody act if ne
cessary. He manifested not the slight
est coucern at the preparations going
on around him, and frequently said :
Hurry up;don't keep fellow waiting.
A ladder was placed against a tree and
the lad conducted under it. He was
asked if he desired to make any further
remarks, when he replied: 81 guess
my mother'll cry when she hears this.
Goodbye, gentlemen. A rope was
then placed around his neck and at
tached to the top round Of the ladder
where he was left hanging. His face
remained uncovered during the stran.
ling and his contortions were fearful to
witness. Several times he attempted
to speak. He did not die for 40 min

Joe Paul kept q tavern at Volcano
West Virginia Joe had a theory tina,
handsome barkeeper would help his
business, ard therefore hired Rube
Marquis for the place. The experiment
proved disastrous, for Mrs. Paul fell in
love with Rube and eloped with him.
Joe announced that he was going to
kill Rube. He closed his house, sold his
horses for money to pay travelling ex-
penses, armed himself with a revolver
and set out to find the runaways. Rube
knew the desperate character of his pur
suer. and quitting the woman, fled 10
the mountain wilderness in the western
part of the state.
After q month of hiding he ventur-
ed into Parkersburg to buy food, and
was discovered by Joe. A hasty flight
ensued. A shot wounded Rube in the
leg, and he could run no further. He
raped on the door of a farm house
and begged to be taken In, but the in
mates refused to admit him.
"Then I'll takeit," he said, and
coolly sat down on bench to await
death.

GEORGIA PEACH ES.

The Alexandria Early-The GeOr.
Kla Peach Belt-The Delaware Of
the South.
Special correspondence Of the Republican.
PALMETTO, Ga, June 9th, 1882. The
first peaches shipped from this point
was a shipment of 126 crates on 25th of
May. They were @. the Alexandria
variety and were expressed by Messrs.
Ellington & Brother, who are amongst
the largest growers in this section. Mr..
j. Ellington tells me that the early
peach belt extends from this place to
Orchard Hill N the vicinity OF Griffin,
Spaulding county, an area of 40 miles,
and that he has some 500 trees bearing,
and young orchards coming on of some
1000 trees, DIR. j. H. Watkins has 1900
trees of the Alexandria Early and
other varieties, amongst them the
Sharp's Early, Musser and Cumberland.
Captain w. johnson has some 1900
trees bearing and Mr.. +. II. Stead, 1000.
All the above named parties have large
young orchards, which in the course of
two years will make q fine showing IN
Eastern and Western markets in the
way of good early fruits. The ship
ment from this point will average $50
crates daily. 1 hear that Mr.. j. II.
Parnell, Ca brother to the M. P,) has
an orchard at West Point some 90 miles
from here, Of early peaches containing
some 1000 trees and is shipping daily
some fine fruit. Next in order come
the orchards in the vicinity of Griffin,
the settlement of Orchard Hill Here
we have cluster of the largest orchards
in the State. W. w. Woodruff has
some 900 trees and Judge j. d. Gun
ningham has one containing $50 acres,
the largest one in the State and at this
time has 300 men picking and packing
fruit for shipment.
He ships entirely by express, some
25OO crates daily. The picking will
continue till the middle of July, then
it will cease until the later variety OF
peaches are ready for market. These
shipments are made to Philadelphia,
New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati, ST.
Louis and Detroit at present. 1t may
be stated with csndor that the eacly
fruit shipments of Georgia are yet in
their infancy, as our engagements can
not be made for quick transit until the
next season, therefore if any of the
fruit growers in your section have an
idea of locating in the "early peach
belt" now Is the time as they will
have all the advantages that are pos
sible and they are many. Tho fruit re.
turns from the ommission are coming
In and 1t seems that from 81 to 50 a |
bushel is the general price paid for the
first fruit. | leave tonight for other
points and will let you hear from nae
lD few days. j. B. B.
