WESTVIRGINIA FREEMAN.
THE FARM.

Fowls IN ORCHARDs.-No thing
is more reasonable than to conclude
that if we allow our fowls the range
of the orchard they will in a great
measure, if not thoroughly, destroy
the worms and other injurious
insects that infest the trees.
Presuming that it is generally un-
derstood that hen manure is one
of the most powerful Of fertilizers,
by following out our suggestions
it will be readily conceived that
two, if not three, material advan-
tages are to be realized. This
whole subject is based upon the
idea that there are no chicken
thieves in the neighborhood, or if
there are that there are good dogs
and shot guns within a reasonable
distance. Set four stakes in the
ground three feet from the trees,
mailing Stats on them, beginning
three feet from the ground, for the
fowls to roost on This is done in
order that the droppings may be
left close to the trunk, for two rea-
sons: First, that the roots may re-
ceive the benefit of the manure ;
second, the droppings are SO strong
that it is offensive to all kinds of
worms and insects that crawl on
the ground, and will tend to pre-
vent their approaching the trees.

WATERING HORSES.

Horses require water as much as
do men, and should have it every
five or six miles, if the weather is
warm. If the horse is very much
overheated, just before coming to a
watering,-p place, say a quarter of a
mile or 50 before, 'slowly up" to a
walk, and when you get to where
you can give the horse water he
will have become cooled off consid-
erably; then, too he should have
his mouth sponged out, and
about half a bucketful of wa
ter. Nothing refreshes a tired,
faded horse so much as drink of
water, and if he has it at regular
intervals he will keep up over a
long distance. He can do much
better for whole day and over a
long journey without food than
without water. If this item of
watering was more carefully atten-
ded to we would hear Of fewer cases
of horses being overcome by the
heat during the warm summer
months.

Methodists on Temperance.
Resolutions adopted By the Southeast
Indiana Conference.


Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 26.-In the
Southeast Indiana Conference to-
day Mr.. McNutt made the following
report on the temperance question
The acknowledged seccess Of che
constitutional law in Kansas; the
wonderful victory in favor Of pro-
hibition in Iowa; the simultane-
Gus efforts in many States, North
and South, East and West, to Sc
cure the submission of the "prohib-
itory amendment" to a popular
vote, and the universal alarm on
the part of the liquor dealers, driv-
ing them to insolent defiance of
law, should cause christian men
everywhere to thank God aud take
courage. This spontaneous, popu-
lar uprising against the blighting
curse Of the age is evidently in an
swer to prayers which SO long have
been ascending to God from broken
hearts and ruined homes for the
awakening, helping spirit that
should enlist and unite the church
es of every name and order against
the Iawless encroachments Of the
liquor traffic.
Remembering that Methodism
has always been a determined foe
to evil and vice, Of whatever form,
social or political, and keeping in
mind her noble record in the late
war for the Union, constant "pray-
ers to heaven and more soldiers to
the front than any other religious
denomination"-the Methodists of
of Indiana, and especially the min
listers of the four Conferences, will
not be found wanting in the pres
ent great moral crisis.
In view of our past needs in the
interest of domestic peace and ma
tional prosperity, both of which
are ruthlessly invaded by an unre-
lenting destroyer. therefore, resolv-
ed:
/. That we demand of the next
General Assembly the submission
Of the proposed prohibitory consti-
tutional amendment to direct vote
Of the people.
2. That as members of the South
east Indiana Conference we here
place on record our united petition
to the next Legislature for an
agreement to such submission.
3. That we will vote for no man
for the Legislature unless we are
assured that he will support the
submission of the said amend
ments.
4. That, in the event of its sue
cessful passage through the next
Legislature, before the session ofour
next annual conference, we hereby
pledge ourselves to active advocacy
of the said prohibition amend

There is perhaps more hay injur-
ed by not being dried enough than
by being dried too much. One ex-
IRENE is equally as bad as the other.
Glover, for instance, if allowed to
become too dry in the sun, will
lose all of it's leaves and it's bios
SONS and the stalks that are left
are of little value. On the other
hand, if put in the NOV too soon
it will become NOV burnt and
equally worthless.
Every pasture should be provided
with shade trees or at least some
protection against a summers sun.
A few boards on a light temporary
frame will always secure the last.
Excessive heat, by exhausting the
animal materially dimiEishes the
effects of food in promoting the Sc
erection of milk and the growth of
wool and flesh.
FowLs.--It is as natural FIR sitter
to "burrow"when she comes off the
nest as it is to eat. This desire
is instructive, and should be met
by busting place. Ashes, sulphur
and dry earth, if it can be pro-
cured, make good material for a
dust bath.
In all cases of throat disease which
affect fowls, ch1orate Of potash is
an almost certain remedy. Put a
pinch in the birds throat and let
it swallow it. The potash not only
cauterizes and disinfects the dis
eased parts, but acts upon the fe-
vered and disordered blood.
Don't live your life alone, with
out forming friendships and love !;
your nature needs love, you were
made for it. and other natures need
you. You are robbing yourself,
YOU are robbing others, if you live
like hermit. Therefore 90 out
into Gods world and live your life
out for others-E1
A corrupt Imagination is the
nesting place for the devil, where
every foul thing is Matched and
nourished into life. BLESSED are
the pure in heart, for they shall see
God"
Just in proportion as you gain
victory over the evil which you
have become aware of in yourself,
will your spiritual eyes be purged
for brighter perception of the
Holy One.

La,eness of the Au.umn FrOsts

The progress of the season, judged
by the extension Of the frost belt
southwark, is remarkably slow. In
October of last year killing frosts"
visited New England as early as the
9Th of the month, causing great de.
struction of the crops, and on the 9th
extended to Virginia, North and
South Carolina and Tennessee, with
very disastrous effects to tobacco and
fruit crops. During the present month,
except in the northwest, no killing
frosts have been reported, and those
which have occurred fell mostly after
the 10th inst, north and west OF the
Ohio valley. The only very severe
frosts so far reported this month have
been those of the 10Th inst, in Wis.
consin, unless we 90 further north
and into the western plateau
regions. The exceptional immunity
which the tobacco and cotton growers
have enjoyed from frost this fall will
no doubt enable them, as it will
farmers generally, to make the mos;
Of the growing season and considera
bly, enlarge their crop profits. The
lateness Of the present seasons frosts
is already as noteworthy as was that
of the autumn OF 1877, when the Sig
nal Service reported that no frost
occurred during October at Lynch
burg; few ifany killing frOsts in this
State or Ohio, and in some parts OF
New ET gland the color Of autumn
fIliage was late in turning. This was
a very late autumn and was followed
by mild winter; whereas the fall Of
1876 carried its killing frosts, with ice
as far south as Georgia and Alabama
by October 10, and damaged the to-
bacco crops 10 Virginia still earlier in
the same month, and was followed
by a cold winter. The first
frosts of October, 1878, in the cotton
States were reported by the Signal Ser
vice as early as the 10Th, and the ensu
ing winter was generally severe. Ii
1875, 1879 and 1880, the mean date al
which autumnal frosts injurious Il
vegetation reached the cotton and to-
bacco districts of the South was 0cto
ber 10. 1t will be seen from these
data, therefore, that the country hal
so far escaped this fall from the usua
severe visitations of frost in the cen
tral, eastern aud southern sections
Although delay of these visitationl
is not always followed by a mild win
ter and early heavy autumn frosts d.
not always indicate cold winter, tn,
period of their first occurrence i
rightly held to be significant and o
some predictive value. Judging b,
this test, we may hope to escape
winter Of intense rigor.
