PURE BREEDS.

fapnciers that cross bred fowl is superior to
y pure bred for laying and marketing pur-
poses. We have no serious objection to aj,-
dcious crossing between pure bred fowls,
If the Object is to give tone, vigor and llardi-
ness to the offspring. But we are inclined
TO believe that the most profitable fowls for
the market poulterer are. full bred birds OF
the Brahma, Cochin, PiymnusI Rock, Leg
horn, Dorking and French varieties. 5at5

LICE;

of beginners the necessity Of eternal vigil

them into active life, Now is a good time
to destroy them and not leave yes,ige OF

EGGS IN WINTER.

The scarcity of eggs in the winter season,
especially among farmers. is due less to the
scarcity of fowls throughout the country
than to the want of proper care of those al
ready on our premises. In spite OF the di-
rections calculated to remedy this state of
things constantly set forth in poultry pub
licatiens and in almost every other journal

Answer.-The best remedy we have for
taken up in the fall, to feed them on barley,
and occasionally give them salt and sui
phur. This is the course pursued by some
Of our hor>e-raisers. and it has proven to be
good. Hon. n. FL. Mood, of Madison coun-
ty, who makes aspeciaity of raising good
horses, takes particular care to gather up
his colts in the fall and feed them so as to
have them in gond fix for the winter months.
He recommends giving horses satregularly,
and to colts dlsoraered or troubled with
worms he gives sulphur. He recommends
four-row barley as the strongest and best
food for colts. saI99 ~ a0tnH~ @n

acteristics of the time. Last summer when
fresh eggs were plentiful and cheap, gen

FATAL CATASTROPHE
At ShanesvilIe, OhiO--Seyeral
Persons Killed.

Canal Dover, o., January "A terri
bic accident, followed by an almost in
describable scene of teIrOr, occurred at
Shanesyille, Tuscarawa5 county, Sun
day night. A Knight of Pythias festi-
val was in progress at Coolers hall on
the second floor of frame building.
There were about POO guests present.
Suddenly, and almost without warming,
the floor gave way, precipitating the en-
tire company to the floor below. The
building took fire almost instantly, and
many of the lights having been extin-
guished, the audience was turned into
a shrieking, struggling mass Of human
ity. The wreck of the upper floor bar
ricaded the doors. A passage had to be
chopped through. The killed are Miss
Mary Neff, Milton YOddeT, son of Mrs.
DR.. YOdder, six years old, burned to
death in his mothers arms. Three are
fatally burned, seven fatally injured
and between forty and fifty hurt more
or less. The cause of the accident can
be attributed to an OvercrOwded, old,
and improperly rluilt hall.
