The disposition OF misdemesnor conviets
was the chief topic Of discussion in the County
Court yesterday. President MADDEN offered
to pay the county for taking charge OF the
Taxing District wrongdoers, but the court
thought the elephant already on its hands
wac hard enough to handle and declined the
proposition. Attorney. General Turner pro-
posed that

and work tue convicis on it. This solution
OF the difficulty ss inali,y found favor with
the msjority Of the court, but left the present
Disposition Of the convicls still an open ques.
lion, and on this another long discussion took
place. The following report presented on
Monday was again read:
THE QUIGLEY POPE REPORT.
To the Worshipiul County Court of shelby County:
Your COMMITTEE appointed to report what dispO-
in the county jail, and those hereafter 10 be COM
mitted for misdemeanors, would respectfully re-
| port, that after taking into consideration the
financial condition OF the county, and its inability
| TO purchase ground aud build a workhouse, have
come to the conclusion that the said prisoners
| be worked TO advantage upon our public roads,
| and would respectfully recommend that the court
| appoint a superintendent and guards. The duties
| of said superintendent being defined By law we
| deem it unnecessary to mention them in detail.
| we have ascsrtai \ ed that the county can have
| movable houses built for the use and comfort of
the prisoners, superintendent and guards at cost
OF about s75 each; that is a house eight feet wide
1
| apartments for eight men. Your committee are of
| the opinion that the prisoners can be furnished
| with good wholesome food at expense not to
exceed twenty-five cents per day, and their labor
will much benefit to the people OF the county,
and certainly an advantage 10 their own health.
| RESPECTFULLY, ?. J. QUIGLEY,
| 4. r. POPE.
| THE REPORT WAS AMENDED
by striking out the clause providing for
movable houses, and by requiring that the,
convicts be lodged in the Jail at night; also
by empowering the chairman to purchase
the necessary teams and implements for the
repair of the roads. 1t was then adopted
The superintendent will be elected by the
court, and the guards appointed by the chair
man today. The former is to receive $50
and each of the latter $50 a month. The
arrangement is to remain in force until the
July term, to which committee will report
upon a permanent disposition OF the coz
victs.

Poultry and Eggs.

The business of rearing poultry for
flesh and eggs is a very safe and profitable
one when rightly managed. 1t is all in
the management. because fowls are ten
der animals, and are subjected to many
diseases when not well cared for. Eggs
in the city of New York and other large
markets averaged % cents dozen
through the year, and. as d good hen
will produce s or 10 dozen in the year;
the product from this source will be at
least 81 to $3.50. Spring chickens are
most demanded in May, and from that
onward; late fa'l chickens sell during
the winter equally as well as early chick
ems in the summer. The light Brahma
and Plymouth Rock are the best breeds
for eggs and chickens, as they are good
layers of large eggs, and rear heavy,
chickens. The market for
eggs and poultry is not likely to be over
stocked, and these sell now for more
than they did 20 years ago, and rather
than fab in value they are likely to in
crease. There is very large business
d me in poultry and eggs in the large
cities, and constant, steady demand
for them.-N. Y. Times.

Strawberries for Planting.

The Crescent strawberry is very Wig
orous grower and makes good many
runners. For an acre planted in rows 3
feet apart and IL feet apart in the
rows about 10, 900 plants will be required.
AS each plant may be expected to make
four runners at least, these, with the old
plants, which may be removed, wi re-
quire 1900 plants to be set out in the
spring for plants in the fall. 1t would be
the best plan to put these plants in the
acre intended for them finally and set
them in rows feet apart and about 8
feet apart in the rows, planting potatoes
between them. Then the runners can
be taken up in the fall and moved into
the immediate rows with trowel, with
out disturbing them or the old plants,
and full crop will be gathered the next
spring. All that will be necessary then
will be to lay out two immediate rows,
one on each side of the original row, to
have the plants feet apart. The rows
will fill up the next year.-New York
Times.

Horse Breeding by Farmers.

From the Breeders Gazette.
In what we had to say through these
columns two weeks ago touching the far
mer's horse and how to breed him, we
discussed solely the question of how to
breed the horse best adapted to the far
mer's own use: the question of profit
from horse breeding was not considered
at all in that connection. But, after all,
the main question with the great mass of
farmers is, how to make the most money
out of the business.
1t will be scarcely be claimed that the
model farm horse is the horse that can
be bred and sold with the greatest GER
tainty Of profit to the breeder
because farmers, as rule, raise
their own horses--they do not buy
them. True, the street car companies
and the delivery stables use a class of
horses that differ but little from the
model farm horse; but for such horses.
as rule. comparatively low prices are
paid, and so the farmer, will usually
make the most money out of the bus
mess who breeds for the market; that is,
breeds the style of horse that sells
most readily at good price; and we

the blocky, compact, quick-stepping
draft horse, the heavier the better, and
the higher priced, so he be compact, ac-
tive and sound. For such horses the de-
mand seems to be unlimited. The coun-
try is secured year alter year by buyers
in search of horses of this type for use
in the heavy trucks and drays of our
cities, and the man who raises horses of
this type finds that he can convert them
into money as readily as he can bis fat
steers or nigs, and at prices quite as re-
muneratiye. Good mares, such as many
of our western farmers own and work on
their farms, will produce horses that will
fill these requirements with consider
able degree of certainty. when coupled
with good stations of the French or
British draft breeds, and we have no
hesitation in recommending this as the
most profitable line of horse-breeding
for the average western farmer.
