Il. r. DiffenderfIer read = paper received
from a country member in response to q
late paper OH "Gapcs" read before this
society. The writer says:
perfectly agree with the assertion in
the article ''Gapes in Chickens" that it
is not a remedy VIC want SO much as u
preventive. hence give you my export
ence in the matter. Ever since l COM
mcnccd raising poultry in 1873 have been
troubled with games. A few years ago
Mrs. Il. gavo mo Il hint on the subject, but
IlnCver gave il :. fair trial until last spring.
On all other G:c;,sions lost 50 many young
chickens that concluded last spring to
SEQ how we'll could succeed in preventing
tho sapes and how many OF my chicks l
could raise.
EARLY in March gave - eggs to threo
hens aud from these eggs l got III young
chicks, ;llI of them out Il few days before
tho first Of Marcli. On tho list OF April
one of them was overcome by cold and
died few days afterwards. Au-
other was hurt by ono of the mother
hens and also died about the same time.
The balancc-j9 out Of 34-aro still living
and doing we'll. have no gapes, and no
sickness among them Of any kind what
ever. Ii live l expect to try tho same
plan next year, aud have full confidence
in the SUCCESS Of tie experiment..
My receipt is keep tho young chicks
off tho ground" have tho hens
au.l young chicks in boxes faciDg tho
south, with all tho openings for sunlight
and air on that side possible and then an
outside pen for tho young chicks with
nary plasterins lath. so as to let in plenty
by these rules
/. Give them plenty Of sunlight and
fresh air.

3. Cleanliness. l clean the pens and
boxes often and givo them air-slacked
limo, coal ashes, &c.
Perhaps some Of you can give US = bet
ter plan, hut until then expect to pursue
tho course so successful during the past
spring. must add that keep my chicks
in their boxes and pens until they arc two
months old and then in small yard by
themselves until to day (Aug. y, when
for the first time turned them out to
run with the older chickens.
The paper was discussed by several
members, and the views of tho writer gen
orally entertained.
There was some discussion rs to the
proper place in which to hold tho next
annual fair, but no final action was taken.
There was also some talk about artificial
incubation, bnt DR.. Longaker, who was to
have been present and give some account
Of his experiments in that direction, failed
to appear and the society adjourned.

How did General Beaver act toward
General Hancock, when the latter was the
Democratic nominee for President of the
United States? Did he vote for the hero
of GettysburgS Not much-he didn't.
Oh, no. He said Hancock was on the
wrong side, and made speeches that were
very bitter against him. This, too, in the
face of the fact that General Hancock
made Beaver, and was his good friend in
the army. Like the ungrateful viper, he
turned and stung the generous man who
had warmed him in his bosom. Why.
then, should Democrats vote for Beaver ?
What did Beaver ever do for any Demo.

InaCo OF tn0 asylum, naU c03r60 OF Inc
ward in which Farrell was placed, frOLl
November until tho 11th of January last,
when he was discharged for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. Tho superinten.
dent did not know whether Farrell was
then sore or not. Dick came back on the
81 or 4th of July, but was again discharg.
ed for grossly immoral conduct. An in-
mato named Charles Webster had charge
of Farrell's ward from the 18th of January
until the % of March, when he absconded.
The ward was then placed in charge of
Henry Reese, who had been admitted into
the institution as an insane man in OctO
ber 1876. He was 76 years old and had
care of the ward from the 22d of March
till the 1st of June, when showing evidence
of returning insanity, he was confined to a
cell and is still confined. The ward had
no sane attendant from the first
of June to the tenth of July. Dur
ing that interval an insane man
named Slater was in charge, but be.
coming violently insane he was locked up.
Mrs. Farrell visited her husband almost
every week, bringing him many delicacies,
most of which he would have been better
without. She removed him from the asy-
lum ON the 1st Of juno and returned him
on the 9th in q much worse condition than
he was when taken away. The superin.
tendent had not tho date of Franks final
departure from the asylum, but thought
it was on the 18th of July. The paper, OF
which the abovo is a synopsis Mr.. Spurrier
said he had prepared for presentation to
the board of directors, but not for publ
cation.
The board listened to Mr.. Spurrier's
statement with profound attention, and
when he had closed President Evans stated
that it was not the fault of the board il
the insane were not properly cared for.
The board has authorized tho superintend-
ant to hire all tho help he needs.
DR.. Bolenius, who Is ct present the at
tending physician as tho asylum, made a
statement that the man Slater had taken
good care Of FaErel until he er)became

According to the Sslut Pulic,
recent operations at the Bourse in
Lyons have been of so exciting a
character that many spectators
have gone mad. Within few
days. it says, so many lunatics
were brought from the Bourse TO
one private mad house that the
director did not know how to dis.
pose of them. His perplexity
WAS all the greater because they
fancied they were still at the
Bourse, and insisted on doing
business with the other patients,
and with the servants and officials.
At last it occurred to the director
to set up, in remote part of the
institution, bar like that which
is placed in the Bourse for agents.
The effect on the patients was i'm
mediate; they rushed to the bar
aud began to invite each other to
buy and sell. Thus the whole
day passed; and not until even
ing, when they had exhausted
themselves, would they consent to
be taken to their rooms. Since
that time the institution has
been guieter, with the exception
of the sham bourse, where the
lunatics daily lose and win mil
lions.

One day a Michigan constable
who had long been trying to col.
lect a claim of $40 against a
sharp citizen, went to worthy
burgher and said:
"See here, Jones, I've got a
plan to collect $40 of that sharper
Perkins. All l want is a little
help from you, and if you'll grant
it won't forget the favor
Elm willing - what's your
plan:" replied Jones.
Why, l want you to bet him
$50 that he doesn't weigh l20
pounds. If you'll do that l can
fix the rest. "
"Oh, I'll do anything to help
you out" said Jones, and the two
walked around to the grocery
where Perkins was known to hang
out. After little talk, the con-
stable keeping in the shade,
Jones began blufflng, and when
he stated his fendish desire to
bet $50 that Perkins wouldn t
tip the beam at 100 pounds his
greenbacks were covered before a
mule could kick three times. As
the money was put up the consta-
bic slipped out for garnishee,
and was back in time to serve it
on the stakeholder: Perkins
weighed l48 pounds, and the $40
in the hands of the stakeholder
eventually paid claim against
him, but it has never yet been
made plain to Jones how he ever
made anything out of it. 1t has
always seemed to him that he was
$50 out, and for fifteen long years
he has refused to walk on the
same side Of the street with that
constable.
