Sunday morning, the death of Rev. Josiah
Henson, said to be the TON" of "Uncle

gives the following biography:
Mr. Henson was born a slave in 1889, in Charles
County, Msrylaud. and in his infancy he was
separated from his father and n few years later
from his elder brothers and sisters Josiah and
Maryland, on the plantation of Isaac Riley, whose
confdeDce-JoS1ah gained by protecting him in
many drunken brawls and by caring for his
estate. After the slave had reached manhood
his master became bankrupt and fearing thst

had distilled into him deepened, and, without
being able to read he became preacher In the

Gapes In Chickens.
TPoultry Natfon.1

In a recent conversation with an expert
enced chicken raiser he informed us that he
had been very successful in conquering that
precsrious disease in his young fowls by the
application OF air-slacked lime. AS soon as
a manifestation of gapes in his fowls appear,
he confines his chickens in a box, one at a
time, sufficiently large to contain the bird,
and places coarse piece of cotton or linen
cloth over the top. Upon this he places the
pulverized lime, and taps the screen suffi-
GENTLY to cause the lime to fall through. This
lime dust the fowl inhales and is made to
sn eeze, and in a short time the cause of the
gspes is thrown out in the form of Shiny
mass or masses of worms, which had accu-
INFLATED in the windpipe ard smaller air
vessels. This remedy he considers superior
to any remedy he ever tried, and he seldom
fails to effect perfect cure. He has adj
iured all those mechanical means By which
il is attempted to dislodge the entozoa with
instruments made of whalebone, hogs
bristles, horse hair or fine wire alleging that
people are quite as certain to push the cape
worms farther down the throat of the fowls
as to draw them up.

The following gives synopsis of the dog
law as follows:
The law provides thatthe Township Asses
sors shall list all dogs over six months old,
between the first day of April and the first
day of June each year, and that each male
dog shall be taxed 81, each female So and
each additional dog over one owned by any
one person, 81. Any Assessor failing to list
any dog shall be fined not exceeding S. in
each case, and any one making false state
ment of the number of dogs harbored may
be fined 800
Any dog that kills sheep may be killed.
known to have killed sheep may be fined
500. The killing of any listed dog which
has violated none of the provisions of the
law Is a misdemeanor subject to fine of 800.
Any person owning or harboring a dog
known to have propensities for killing or
manning sheep, is made subject to a fine of
$50, ana the law authorizes anyone to kill
mad dogs on sight.
The law does away altogether with the
system of tagging licensed dogs. 1t makes
it misdemeanor 10 kill, MAIN, injure or
steal dog. for which the yearly tax has
been paid 10 the County.
For the mischievous or wantOn injury, or
the stealing of dog which has been duly
Listed for taxation, and which is not known
to be sheep killing dog, the punishment is
fixed at a fine not exceeding $500, with i'm
prisonment for not more than thirty days.
Owners of sheep which are killed by dogs
are required to report their losses TO the
Township Trustee within ten days. and any
person making a false statement of the
amount of damages may be fined 800, and
imprisoned in the County Jail for thirty
days. The surplus over the amount paid
for damages to sheep she'll be applied to the
school revenue of the Township.

A strawberry Farm.


The Thomasville (Ga) correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution says: ! promised
a year ago to give the actual figures of the
crop of the Blackshear strawberry farm.
Mr.. Blackshear furnishes me to-day with the
following:
Il planted twenty acres in berries. of
these twenty acres 1 sold 81 800 worth of
berries deductiDg the freight for the most
part. We cleared in actual case 81, 500, or
about S75 an acre. The net profit would
have been larger except for experience in

"Mucn better. Ny yield is larger. /
have already picked and sold over 100 600
quarts on the twenty acres, and / will get
quite as many more. picked 1000 quarts
q day two days last week, and will get 1000
quarts to-day"
Are prices botter this season.
Il am selling with more judgment. AT
the first OF the season got 81 a quart then
dropped 70 fifty cents quart, and then
twenty-five cents. To-day l reduced the
price in Townsville to fifteen cents a quart,
and sold all my man could haul. / made a
trade with Mr.. Pillow, of Jacksonville, &c
sell him all the berries l could ship at thir-
teen cents quart at my packing house, up
to May l. They net me ten cents quart,
shipping facilities offered me are not yet
all | want, nor are the rates adjusted prop
erly For example, l can ship 100 pounds
of berries to New York and have my refrige-
rator returned 10 nae for just half what it
costs to ship the same berries to Atlanta.
The rate given me to Atlanta is 81. OF hun
dred, or just three cents less than the ex-
press rate. In spite OF this will clear over
800 an acre on my berries, or 81, 500 on my
twenty-acre patch"
"What was the expense OF cutivating it?''
ut cost me just $4S this year. The sale OF
plants and stray berries more than paid the
whole expenses"
| This is the story of q strawberry farm. A
clear profit of 800 an acre on berries, coming
in when money is needed, isenoRgh totempt
others to berry culture. AT Mr.. Blackshear's
low estimate of 1000 quarts to the acre
| from Which he has already gathered SOC
quarts berries can be sold at five cents 8
quart and more money made than with any
of the heavy crops. Mr.. Blackshear will
take pleasure in giving any reasonable infor
nation thatmay be asked. In the meantime
look for a boom in the Georgia berry before
the year is out.

Dear Sir-Last Winter my wife was very low
with Consumption. She had had physicians attend
ing her for time, but they could not help her.
She found relief all until she began using your
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. Under the influence of these medicines she
regained her usual health, and is to-day without
of the disease. Your Medicines were the
only things that cured her.

Things a Farmer should Rot Do.


A farmer should not break up more land
than he can cultivate thoroughly; half
titled land is always growing poorer, while
well titled laud is constantly improving A
thrifty and prudent farmer will not devote
his sole attention. to the improvement of
certain fields on his farm, because the land
is ''easy to work at, and let other portions
of his premises 60 uncultvated, and grow
nothing but brush, boys, briers and stones
A farmer should never have more CATTLE
horses or other animal stock than be can
keep in good order. An animal in good
order at the beginning of winter is already
half wintered. Nor should he let his cattle
endure the chilling storms of winter in an
open yard or field, whilst q few dollars ex-
pended wouldamply repay him in saving fod-
der, and afford her a greater amount'of milk.
A farmer should never depend too much
on his neighbors for what he can by careful
management produce on his own land. He
should not make IL a common practice to
either buy or beg fruit while be can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own ground
nor annoy his neighbors by borrowing
tools to work with, while he can make or
buy them. The borrower is servant to the
lender"
A farmer should never be so immersed

should be be so inattentive to politics as 10
remain ignorant of those great questions oil
National and State policy which will always
agitate more or less a free people.
A farmer should not be continually Dor
rowing his neighbours newspaper, while he
can easily save money enough, by curtailing
some little extravagance, TO subscribe and
pay for one or more of his own.
A farmer should never refuse fair price
for anything he wishes 70 sell. have

they were glad to get ST. for it. / have

after keeping it three or four months they
concluded to sell the butter for only two

A farmer should not allow his wood pile

looks of his wife and family, and perhaps be

that the man who provides green wood TO

first rules of domestic economy. Nor should
be employ some "b.otch" mason to build
bis chimney "upside down" so that his FAM
lily will be nearly smoked ont OF the house,
and the walls of the room become as yellow
as saffron.
A farmer should not let his buildings
look as old as the hills, and go to decay
while he can easily afford the means to
keep them in good repair; nor should he
allow tattered clothes and old hats to be
stuffed in the windows, IN place of glass. If
he does, he need not be alarmed If he &C
quires the reputation of a mean man, or one
who tarries long where liquor is sold by the
glass.
A farmer should not be contented with
dilapidated looking fences on his farm, so
as to tempt his cattle TO become unruly and
destroy his crops, while he has plenty of OPP
portunities to make or keep them in repair
