How Leather Scraps Arc Utilized.

Every little scrap of leather that flies
from the cutters knives in the Auburn
shoe shops is saved. and either goes into
leather-boar,l. shoe heels or grease.
Who says this isn't an economical age?
About two months ago factory was
started for making shoe heels in Au-
burn. They now have about twenty
five hands at work. and are making
about 120 cases of heels per day, or
about $1,000 heels. The heels are made
entirely of small scraps of upper leath-
or. The scraps are first cut into the
right shape by dies. They are then
packed and sent to Chelsea. Mass,
where the oil is extracted from them by
secret process. They come back dry.
and are then pasted together in wooden
heel moldS. The grease is extracted
in order that the heels may be bur-
nished. They take "a nice II polish rs
genuine sole leather heel. All the
pieces that will not 20 into the heels
are tried oc, and the firm gets two or
three barrels of grease per week from
this source. 1t is used again for leather
dressing. The firm is endcavoring to
obtain possession of the naptha process
of extracting the oil from the whole
pieces, and thus save the expense of
shipping to Massachusetts. Their heels
are largely used in Auburn, and sell ut

How Mr.. John R0ach's Ward Was Lost
and Found.

4 cariouS ease has just come To light
in the Surrogatc's Court that has quite :,
tinge of romance and fiction, but, i'll
fact. there is none attached to it. The
story is best told by Mr.. William III. V.
Gardner, Il lawyer of Broadway. vino
acted rs counsel for the young lady on
whom the whole case hinges. Some
twenty-thrre years ago y Mr.. John
Baker, n lawyer of ,ii, city. died, icav-
ing, among other requests, n legacy of
some $1,000 to an orphan child named
Margaret Kirby. the only child OF John
Kirby, who, in his lifetime. was great
friend of Mr.. Baker. Under the will
Mr.. John Roach, the slIipbuildcr. was
appointed executor When the will was
probaicd Mr.. Srlim Marks, real estate
broker, was appointed guardian OF the
young child, then between three and
four years old. by the Surrogate. After
remaining with him y short time the
child WAS placed in the Catholic Orphan
Asylum in Mott Street. Shortly after
Der admission lady called there TO see
the child, representing herself 10 be :.
relative. and under the pretence of buy
ing some clothing for it, was allowed by
one of the Sisters 10 take it away for that
purpose. Neither the child nor lady
ever returned. Efforts were made TO
trace the child, but without success Tho
child came of age about four years ago,
and Mr.. Roach renewed his efforts TO as
certain her whereabouts il living. For
a long time he was unsuccessful, and it
was not until last July he discovered her
to be living with y family named Me
Mahon. II contractor and builder, be-
tween Eighty-third and Eighty-fourth
Streets on Second Avenue. She had
been living with them for the past TWEEN
ty-Onc years. and they having no chill
dren Of their own. in Il sense. adopted
the child and gave her a good education
ut their own expense. She always bore
her proper name. however, of Margaret
Kirby. As soon As the lost child WAS
found proofs of identity were sought for.
and but little difficulty was experienced
ON this point. Tho parties recently APP
pcared before Surrogate Calvin, and the
identity being made satisfactory TO him,
made IN order for the payment of the
legacy due and interest thereon. Mr.
Roach drew Il check for the amount due
TO the young lady, and was pleased to
see the right party had been found To
whom the money belonged !.

Poultry.

In the opinion of an English breeder
fowls are largely neglected in the VIM
ter months, and it Is then when they
are Of the most value as layers and
when their return should be the great
est: If it is right to give pigs and cows
additional warmth, better food and
housing, surely the same principle
should apply in dealing with poultry.
Some animals feed all night rs well as
all day, and in this respect winter
makes no difference to them; but with
fowls it is quite different, for the poor
things have to combat severe weather
and long hours without food, and vet
they are expected to be productive
Long, cold winter nights are enough to
give disease to any fowl in the world
when its stomach is empty and it has
nothing to supply artificial warmth; but
no one seems to think of this. In the
present month, for instance, feeding
must take place soon after four, and it
cannot well be repeated until seven the
next morning at the earliest, and on
cold mornings that is, in all probability
eight, so that the birds last meal has to
last them sixteen hours out of the twen-
ty-fOur. This is not as it should be,
and our opinion is that feeding should
be equalized, and, above all, the birds
.hould have ample sustenance in the
night to enable them to withstand the
cold. 1t is more important than the
day feeding, because then they are act
i've and find a great deal of food. We
can only say that if we kept a farm and
intended to supply eggs to the marke cts
our first idea would be to arrange IL sys-
tenn of night feeding in winter. SO that
the birds would have food enough at
the last meal to carry them on well to
the morning. Stimulating food would
then do wonders. more than warmed
houses and all the artificial heating we
hear about. In the summer time there
is no necessity. for the hours of day
light permit Of three times feeding. sav
at six q. H., at two o'clock and at eight
o'clock at night. We know very well
that many of the finest birds have been
reared to their size in this way. This
feeding has won many prizes and i'm
proved breeds. and, depend upon it,
would increase the number OF eggs laid
by very large number, and when the
system has been well adopted it will not
be found very irksome.

The Prisoner and the Mouse.

A pathetic case was recently heard
before Mr.. Justice Hawkins. John Ed
wards, prisoner in Coldbath Fields
Prison, sent there for uttering counter
felt coin, had tanned Il mouse rs Il COM
panion, and formed Il great friendship
for him. The wardcrs had taken This
mouse from him and killed it. the pris-
on rules not, of course, allowing the
prisoners to keep pets. The prisoner,
enraged ut the death of his favori.e, had
assaulted one of the warders, and was
indicted for the assault. Mr.. Justice
Hawkins charged favorably for the pris-
oner. expressing Il good deal of sympa-
thy for him. and the jury acquitted him.
The truth is. that this was just u
case which judicious prison authorities
would have winked ut. Of course, it
would never do to permit prisoners to
have fayOrite animals with them. but q
mouse would not be often found in such
a prison. still less the patience and gen
tlcness requisite to tame it; and there
could have been nothing but good in ig-
aering this slight and exceptional breach
of prison rules. But warders, dressed
in little brief authority over a very
rough set of men, are almost always ty-
rannic at heart. If the prisoner had not
been enraged by the cruel killing of his
little companion, he would have been a
worse man than Ire is.-LOndOn Spcc.a-

"A subscriber writes to the Countraj
Gentleman that he has followed the
practice of hauling manure to his fields
in the winter. and thinks the most ben
eiicial results follow the plan of spread
ing it directly from the sleigh. When,
he says, the manure is all out, it is dis
posed of. there can be no further waste,
and it fertilizes the first crop on the land
thus treated. He considers the manure
very much more valuable when applied
in green state, and when it is mingled
