If hens are confined to keep them

their yard once in a while. They like
to scratch in the moist earth, and they

He puts small handful of salt on

the thistle close to the ground. The

necessary, and the thistle seldom ap-

A writer in the Rural NeW Yorker
contends that ''by planting corn at the
earliest safe moment we not only in
crease the chances that the crop will
receive the necessary number of degrees
of accumulated heat during the warm
season, but the number of hours of sun
shine as well, and, what is of nearly as
much Importance, we advance the
epoch of blossOming several days, and
by so doing hasten maturity by several
weeks. This is new and surprising
statement to many, but it is. neverthe-
less, a correct one"

This was so far satisfactory, though

somebody in my presence had men
toned Sunbury, and somebody else

and that had not contradicted them.
However, my moral sense was by this
time so far perverted that (now knew

me. What on earth was spinning" in
connection with pike? 1t unfortunately
happens that if there is one subject
about which 1 know less than any
other il is angling. NV experiences as
a fisherman are limited to the fact that
when L was boy of eleven, or there
abouts, l spent all my available pocket
money (three -and-siXpence, | think it
was) in brand-new rod and line. l

capital to no purpose, and accordingly
snapped it away to another boy for
eighteen pence and a dead squirrel.
What use l intended to make of the
squirrel don't remember, but know
that was the price.
The above having been my first and
only experience in the fishing line (no
joke is intended, the subject is far too
painful to be treated with levity), it will
be readily understood that INV knowl-
edge of the art was, to say the least,
elementary. However, one point was

signed by the electors OF this county
In favor Of division fences.
1t is hard to decide what The benc.

most distant from his ncightor, by
such u law contentious or illiberal
neighhor could compel the man al.
joining to build a partition fence as on
side Of his neighhor's pasture, and
no benefit to himself. The best way
il to require farmers to take cafe OF
their own stock, and then let every
one build fences where he wants
them. This thing OF compelling \
man to build u fence he does not
want. and which Is Of no use to him,
belong to the theory OF the feudal
ages. in counties where they are so
far behind the spirit OF the age, as
to compel men to build barbados

The debate between Mr.. Weller
and Randall last Thursday on the
pending amendments 81 the
rules OF the House was an inter.
esting episode in Congressional
business. We give q nearly full re-
port In the proper column. Mr.. Wei
lar admirably sustained his rropo.
sition to introduce u section in Rule
Twenty. one calculated to prevent
the passing OF laws, the nature Of
which cannot possibly be fully
understood by every member OF the
House before their passage. There
are hundreds ii laws that have been
pushed through Congress by inter
ested parties which have not even
been read by members voting upon
them, reliance having been plac, /
upon tho reports Of committees. The
gag law rule" has often been Tar
more potent than any other. Such
legislation should be made impos-
sible, and We hope the matter viii
be- persisteptly followed up until the
whole country can safely give its
full aeauiesence to the ways and
means" practised by Congress in
enactin- laws.-Amciican Sentry.
