A LOUISVILLE dispatch says Gen

in religious and sporting circles few
months ago, by joining a church and

Good Egg Food.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman claims that he gets the
greatest number of eggs when he
feeds his hens ON wheat screenings
He feeds in this way: Il have fed
sorghum seed, corn meal, oats, corn
and middlings, and have concluded
that feeding wheat in the morning
and shelled corn at night. with a feed
of shipstuffs wet up. having a good
dose of ground pepper put in. and
then baked and fed twice week, and
once in a while substituting powdered
sulphur in place of pepper, is the best
plan. l have good shelter and good,
clean nests; feed regularly, and allow
them a good range with plenty of
gravel to scratch IN. l sell the fowls
when they are two years old, and
always keep the best cock and the
best hens for hatching."

Mr.. William E. Dodge gives the
world specimen of railroad morality.
He was a director of the Erie until
they began to run trains on Sunday,
when he sold out and went into the
New Jersey Central. He was a direc-
tor of this road for thirty years, and it
was, he says, up to 1873, "a Sabbath
keeping road" The Central then be-
gan to run trains on Sunday, when
Mr.. Dodge promptly resigned. His
resignation was not accepted, and to
get quit of the whole iniquity he sold
out his stock at good premium.

many localities, is the loss occasioned
by dogs. Many a rough, WORKOUT, or
neglected farm might be brought up
rapidly, and be made paying land by
breeding sheep thereon, as the ma
nure from the sheep is one of the
most enriching of manures, and is
evenly and finely distributed. OF
course they may not do this without
being fed something besides what they
can get in the fields, yet this additional
food works to the profit of breeders in
two ways, it not only insureS a good
and profitable growth of flesh and
wool, but it makes the manure richer
and more valuable. Even poor farm
ers can give sheep trial by CON-
mencing in a small way and then, as
means and experience are gained, the
tiocks can be gradually increased by
purchases, though the natural increase
from small flock of sheep is by no
means inconSiderable, if properly
managed and cared for as they should
be. Like any other kind of stock.
they must have good care and food to
secure the greatest measure of profit.
HONEY AS A REMEDY.-Comb
honey, that is ''tender and good" is
built quickly during a big flow of
honey; and that from white clover,
stored at the height of the season, is a
luxury to set before kings. and will
disagree with very few persons, if
any.
Extracted honey that is thrown,
when well ripened, from clean combs,
is the pureSt. most delicious sirun
known. 1t is one of the best
panaceas for pulmonary COM
plants. The Rev. L. L. Langs-
troth tells us, that at one time his wife
was considered too low with consump-
ton to take the journey from New
England to her home in Ohio. She ac-
complished it however, and commenc-
ed taking pure honey, teaspoonful at
a time, every little while during wax
ing hours-got well, and lived ten
years, and did not die of consumption,
but of some other disease.
Eat thou honey; because II is GOOD.

EQUESTRIAN EXERCISE Fer La
DIES.-At a recent discussion at one
of the American medical societies,
there was a statement made that, for
delicate women, horseback exercise
was not a good thing asa rule. Anoth-
er statement was quoted by one of the
speakers to the effect that no woman
ought to ride horseback. American
physicians may take heart of grace
from the larger experience in this re-
spect of English practitioners.
In this country, says the Brit
ish Medical Journal, equestrian
exercise is the happy privilege
and daily practice of thousands
of all ages, and delicate as well as ro-
bust constitutions. 1t is impossible
for anyone who has seen the healthy
glow spread over the cheeks, pale Just
before, of some lady after half an
hours exercise on horseback, to agree
with the progressed dictum. Ladies
take far too little exercise in the fresh
air. 1t is rather the duty of the med
ical man to seek to encourage athletic
exercise of all kinds, than to depre-
cate it from fanciful fear. Americans
will gain health and lose nothing in
grace or refinements, by emulating the
accomplishments of their English sis
tiers as horsewomen.

Bees In the South.

1t is gratifying to know, when we
read so much about wintering bees in
the north, that in the south they most
ly winter themselves. 1t is true that
feeding, care and good management
will greatly increase their profit, but
in our sunny land of flowers, and win
ter fields and gardens of green aud
growing vegetation, bee raising is
comparatively an easy task. Georgia
or Florida could, singly, raise enough
honey for the whole Union. Mrs. A.
a. Lowe, of Hawkinsville, Georgia,
manages one hundred hives with her
own hands, sends out hundreds of
queens to purchasers, and has an in
come from her bees of from $1,000 to
$500, and this requires but a small
portion of her time.-SOuthern Far
mers Monthly.
FEED YOUR HORsE.-Don't work a
horse all day upon the farm and at
night turn him out to pick upa scanty
supper when he should be resting in
the stable after eating. All that a
horse demands for his services is rest,
food and drink, and he is cruel who
denies these. There is economy in
keeping working team in the stable
at night, where it can be regularly
fed, and is always ready for use.
Don't scrimp the allowance of suitable
food. All a horse needs of hay and
grain to keep in good condition, it is
for the profit of his owner to supply.
One dollar saved in grain is two dol
lars lost in work. Don't stuff horse
with hay and withhold corn or oats
Less fodder and more feed viii be bet

TROUBLES OF THE TEXAS TRUNK
ROAD

An Intellectual Attempt TO Hold n Diree-
tory Meeting-An Empioye Attempts to
Shoot Receiver Sash-An Effort to Wreck
the Train
There has been more trouble ON the Texas
Trunk road. For the past few days an in
eiiectual effort has been made to hold a
meeting of the directory. There is lust a
sufficient number of the local directors to
make a quorum, but unfortunately they
are most fessfully split up, and all efforts
ON the part of those disposed to
hold the meeting to get the
dissatitied to JON them proved
failure. The object the proposed meet.
ing had in view is not known, though some
say II was 10 elect q new attorney of the
road with the view of trying TO get the line
out OF the control of Mr.. Nash, the present
receiver, but upon what grounds they
do not state. 1t is certain, how.
ever, that all efforts in this di.
rection have signally failed, Tuesday
evening Mr., Votes, clerk of Receiver
Nash, and a Mr., Miller, who claims that
the clerk declined to pay him wages he al.
leges were due, had u war of words and
Miller says the clerk slapped his
| face for him. As the train was
pulling out from the Union de-
pot, Miller attempted to get 70 the clerk,
when Receiver Nash caught him in the col
lar and thrust him from the train Miller
ran off and got a pistol and 0vertakng the
train at the outer depot, made an at
tempt to shoot Receiver Nash, but
the engineer started, and the intended vie
tim was soon out of pistol-shot. The dis
charge of several officers OF the road by the
receiver has caused considerable feeling
with them and their friends, and the reason
given by him is to the effect that the offices
they filled were useless, and that there was
no necessity for their services, and that It
was his intention to hold the road
and run 1t at as little expense
as possible until the courts shall determine
to whom he shall turn it over.
Tuesday night an attempt was made to
wreck the train several miles out, obstruc-
tions having been placed ON the track, yet
it was failure, as only one end of coach
was throwA or.
These are the reports concerning the
troubles of the road as picked up here and
there by HERALD reporter.

A Hubbell Investigation

Some of the enterprising republicans,
since the deafet of the party in Ohio, are
making out list of those Of the clan who
failed to contribute to the Hub
bell fund. They are evidently act
ing as agents for the party
at headquarters Just few days previous
ployes here were assessed and the letter
carriers were taxed $3.50 each by the llu.
bell committee, which some OF them paid
rather reluctantly. There are others who
are in government positions who have not
come up to the scratch at all and they are
being spotted by the party spies.
