Mr.. EVERETT LAWRENCE, who learn
ed "the art preservative of all arts" at
the CITIZEN Office, we are pleased to
know has successfully graduated at the
Michigan, Ann Arbor, Medical Uniyer-
sity, to which institution he went to
study medicine after leaving this office.
Mr.. Lawrence was raised on the bor-
der of Slipperyrock tp., this county, and
is young man of great worth of char
acter. We remember well his first ap-
pearance at our Office A notice for an
apprentice had appeared in the paper
and there were several applicants for
the position. When Mr. Lawrence
came, with grip-sack in hand, he intro
duced and recommended himself as one
who neither drank whiskey, chewed
or smoked tobacco, or used proiane
language. Struck with his sincerity
of manner we told him we thought he
was the young man we were looking
for and to Immediately go to work,
which he did, leaving the Office at the
end of three years with the respect and
good wishes of all. 1t gives US there
fore great satisfaction to notice his pro-
gress in the world.

Soon after it was known the Gov
ernor had signed the Judicial Appor
tionment bill, by the provisions of
which Butler and Lawrence counties
were practically continued a judicial
district. with two judges as at present,
considerable discussion naturally took
place among the legal profession of this
county as to probable and proper can
6idates. And while it was well under
stood that no election for judges took
place until next year, yet several men,
bers of the Bar deemed it proper time
to make an expression on the subject
Foremost in this view we believe was
Gen. John n. Purviance, the oldest
member of our present Bar. 1t appear
ing evident that the general sentiment
among the members was that Judge
McJunkin should be his own successor
in the place he holds, two papers were
consequently prepared, one for the
signatures of the members of the Bar
generally, expressing their continued
confidence and respect for him as
judge, and the other specially for the
Republican members of the Bar, ex-
pressing the same confidence and re-
spect, and asking him to permit the
use Of his name as a candidate when
the proper time arrived to do 80.
These papers have been signed by a
majority of the members of the Bar and
will in due time, we learn, be present
ed to Judge McJunkin. What his
answer may be of course is not known,
but there is no mistaking the fact that
this action of the Bar is strongly in ac-
cord with the general sentiment pre-
vailing among the people of this
county.

Economy on the Farm.

1t has been truly said that the
profits of future farming in this
country depend more than ever upon
economy on the farm. As the
country grows older, population in
creases, the price of land advances
and competition wakes fiercer in all
agricultural production. The aggre-
gate of losses on the average farm
resulting from inefficient, labor want
of forethought, careless manage
ment, hardness in various opera
tions, imperfect implements, i'm
proper feeding, Improbable stock
of all kinds, ETC., would alone
amount to very handsome profit
in the years operations if it could
all be prevented. There is great
loss in keeping COW that yields 300
gallons of milk per annum instead
of one that would produce 600 gal
Ions at the same or slightly greater
cost.
The losses from negligence in the
preparation of the products of the
farm for market is enormous. In
the cotton crop OF Georgia differ
ence of ! cent per pound in the
market quality of the product would
amount to $4,000 900 in the aggre-
gate, or about per cent of the value
of the whole crop. One fruit grow
er carefully asserts his peaches, sells
but half his crop for twice the sum
realized by another farmer for the
entire yield of the same number Of
trees, and has the culls besides. One
dairyman sells more butter at uni
formly higher prices than his neigh
Dor who thinks it is not worth while
to be so particular about feeding
milking and churning, and the style
in which the product is put on the
market.
The wastes that may be avoided
are numerous in every department
of farm practice, and are well illus
trated in the differing costs and sell
ing prices of products from the same
Observation-Disclosures ul.

edge. It is time that farmers and
farmers families disabused their
minds of the idea that culture and
refinement-and to me, true culture
and refinement means true educa-
tion-are not for the class to which
they belong. They have thought
too long that mental development
was for others, not for them. The
highest and best cultivation of the
mind is the true aim of life, 1 take
it, and no matter what station in
life we occupy, that should be the
end in view. The profession we en-
gage in is but means to that end.
Farm llfe affords us many opportu-
mites of advancement and growth,
mentally and morally, that can not
be found in any other station.
Farmers homes are growing more
and more like the homes of those
who have given more thought stc
what home ought to be, and Goo
speed the good work!

That Bad Bow Again.


Peck's Sun: "Well you are the
neanest boy l ever heard OF" saiC
the grocery man. ''But what about
your pas dancing a clog dance il
church Sunday? The minister:
hired girl was in here after some
Goldfish yesterday morning, and saio
he minister said your pa scandal
zed the church in the worst way
%, he didn't dance in church. He
was little excited; that's all. You
see, pa chews tobacco, and it is
pretty hard on him to sit all through
he sermon without taking a chew,
and he gets nervous. He always
teaches around in his pistol pocket
when they stand up to sing the last
Jlme, and feels in his tobacco box
and gets out a chew, and puts it in
MS mouth when the preacher pro-
nounces the Denedic ion. He al
ways does that. Well, my chum
had a present on Christmas of mu-
SIC box, just about as big as pas to-
bocco box, and all you have to do
IS to touch a spring and it plays
She's a Daisy. She's Dumping
l borrowed it and put it in pas pis-
tol pocket, where he keeps his to-
bacco box, and when the choir got
most through singing pa reached
his hand in his pocket and began tn
tumble around for a chew. He
touched the spring, and just as eve
rybody bowed their heads to receive
the benediction, and it was so still
you could hear a gum drop, the mu-
sic box began to play, and in the
stiffness it sounded as loud as
CHURCH organ. Well, 1 thought ma
would sink. The minister heard it,
and looked toward pa, and every
enc Loo ked at pa, and pa turned red,

The census bureau has just pub
lished a bulletin classifying the
population of the United States of
nativity under the census of 1880.
The native born were whites, &c.
843, 294; colored, 6,632, $40; foreign
born, 6,679, 943; total population so,
l55,783. Of the foreign born, g
772,16 were natives of the united
kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land, 1,S66,742 of the German EN-
pire, 717,084 of British America,
194, 1877 Of Norway, 181, 729 of Swe-
den, 106,971 of France, 104, 54I of
China, and the remainder represent
all the countries of the earth. The
largest number of foreigners in any
one state is to be found in New
York, 2,2I1,4 3S. Pennsylvania
stands next, with 5S7,563; Illinois
third, with 5S3,592; Massachusetts
fourth, with 443, O93; then Wiscon-
sin, Ohio and Michigan, 400, 517,
394, 743, and $685. 46 respectively.
In the northwest various manufac,
turers and coal and iron mining
have drawn immigration, mainly
Irish, German and French Canadi-
an, with some Welsh. In the north
west agriculture has been the at
traction, and it has been mainly fed
by the Germans and ScandinaVians.
In the extreme west and the terri
tories mining has been the great
moving force. Nevada has the
largest number of foreign to 100000
natives, 70,016; then Arizona, IS,
6I3; then Dakota, 62,112; then Cali
fornia and Minnesota, 81, 167 and
52,172. A group of eight states and
five territories, headed by Wiscon-
sin, with 44,54S, and ended by Colo
RADIO, with 1856, have % to so per
cent of foreign to native. There is
now no state or territory where the
native-born population does not tar
outnumber the foreign. In the
United States the number per 100,-
900 of native is but Is, 359, against
16, 875 in 1870. In thirty-five states
and territories natural increase, of
course foreign as well as native
born, has gained upon immigration,
numerously as the latter has been
increasing. In twelve only has the
foreign gained upon the native. Of
these twelve Dakota stands first;
then Oregon, Colorado, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico, Rhode Island,
Michigan, Maine, Massachusetts,
Florida, Arkansas and Washington.
The tables reveal the fact that in
the distribution of emigrants in this
country, they follow lines of temper
allure and very few indeed are found
off Of the line of the temperature of
their native place. Every effort
that has been made to divert emf
grafton into different ATTITUDES from
that of the original home of the
emigrant has miserably failed and
always will fail because man, like
the lower animals and plants, is
governed by climate influences in
his migrations.

Winter Work.

In winter fowls need regular feed
ing and clean warm quarters. The
mixed food-corn meal and ground
oats, or corn meal and middlings-
is an excellent basis for their daily
rations. This should be cooked or
scalded and mixed with vegetables
or meat scraps for breakfast and fed
moderately warm, wheat screenings,
oats, barley or buckwheat durin@
the day, and at night. 1t is best to
change the food to the requirements
and taste of the fowls. A mixture
of grain, whole or ground or mix
ture of vegetables in proportional
parts is the best way of giving it.
Absolute cleanliness will ensure the
best results. The dropping never
should be allowed to accumulate in
the henhouses. There should be q
platform under the roosts to
catch the excrement, which should
be removed every day and dry earth
or coal ashes spread on so as to alb
sorb the moisture which may be
left. Large amounts of valuable
fertilizer may be obtained from a
flock of hens. The droppings will
go far toward paying for their feed
if properly utilized.
To complete the work of cleanli
ness, frequent white washing of the
interior of the fowl houses is a good
thing, but it should be thoroughly
used in corner and crevice to keep
down lice and other parasites, which
are the greatest pests the poulterers
have to contend against. Carbolic
powder and sulphur dusted through
the fowls feathers and some in the
dust bin, kerosene oil upon the
perches and nest boxes will keep the
fowls and the fowl houses compare
lively free of vermin. If followed up
regularly it will make vast improve
ment in the looks and health of the
feathered inmates Poultry Month.

Church Eoinr.

A large congregation at the
Methodist church last Sunday was
a matter of general remark. The
fact speaks not faYorably for Pu-
laskians as church-going people.
Why should it be remark able that
the church was so well filled? Only
because it is rather an unusual oc-
currence. But it was a pretty day,
and the citizens of Pulaski are not
unlike the rest of mankind, they are
not given to Drawing storms in order
20 get to church. Neither are they
worse than other folks in this re-
jspect. They hear as good preach
ing at any and all of our churches
as is preached anywhere in the land
and many of them go out to hear II
about as other people dO-whert
the weather is favorable. Now we
haven't seen a single day during al
the winter, which closed with yester
cay, that was cold, rainy or stormy
enough to keep single man away
from his place of business, and the
ladies can usually put on their wraps
and muffs or close their carriage
windows and face the worst weather
that comes if they want to 90 any
