OWLS AND HAWKS VS.. MICE.


The field mice are becoming pest
of such magnitude that the farmers
are asking what can be done 10 get rid
of them. The same men who are now
in worry about field mice were urg-
ing the legislature of Ohio 10 keep up
the premium of fifty cents head on
hawks, and helped their boys TO collect
all the hawk scalps possible from their
farm and neighborhood. They also
asked for premium on owls heads,
because an owl occasionally appropri-
ates chicken.
The rapid increase of field mice since
the destruction of hawks has led some
farmers to think that there is some
correlation between hawks and mice.
As hawks become scarce mice become
abundant. But do hawks and owls
catch mice? Yes. As stood on the
hill few days since / saw hawk
light on the fence beside the clover
field. In short time he darted to
the ground and came up with a mouse.
In few minutes afterwards ! saw
him repeat the feat, and called the at
tention of neighbor TO il. He re-
ports having seen hawks catching
mice several times since that, and now
says he thinks hawks are of some ac-
count. He once thought they were
only a curse, TO eat young chickens
and birds.
The Indiana Farmer reports that
Fletcher Noe, the taxidermist. adver-
tised for few owls 10 stuff. He was
surprised to have them pour in from
all directions. Every owl opened re-
vealed in the contents of its stomach
mice in different stages of digestion.
One owl had been shot before the
mouse had been fairly swallowed.
Let the owls and hawks increase
that the field mice may decrease, and
our meadows and cornfields be rid of
the mice pest.-Cor. Ohio Farmer.

THE AGE FOR PROFIT.

While the well fattened two-year-old
steer may often be the most profitable
beef the farmer can produce, Though
that is disputed) it is well understood
that the very best beef comes from
carcasses of greater age. Early matur-
ity has cut down the ripening age
quite rapidly within the last few years,
but there is limit to this shortening
process, TO pass beyond which is at
the expense Of quality and flavor in
the product. The five-year-oid bullock
furnishes as good steaks as the six
year-old, and he in time, by improved
feeding. is equaled by the four-year-
old.
When it comes 10 the fhree-year-old
there is some division of opinion.
though the beef of that age is usually
admitted TO be first-class. But three
years is considered by experts to be
the quality limit. Not that two-year-
old beef may not be an excellent arti-
ele-not at all. 1t is toothsome, ten
der and all that, but it is too much of
q cross between yea! and beef to stand
well in comparison with the flesh of
the older animal. For real profit, too,
without undue pampering, the three
year-old is perhaps the best grown on
the farm, while il has beyond ques-
ton high standing in market. The
protraction Of feeding beyond three
years, however, is usually TO measure
ably increase the cost of production,
without securing corresponding gain
in the market yalue.-lStock,moa

PRIZE BUTTER.

The butter which won the Higgins
cur recently at the Wisconsin dairy
convention was, of course, a choice
article and worthy of its distinguished
honor. The grain was fine and firm.
with that waxy texture which so de-
lights the heart of every butter con-
noisscur. 1t was churned till IL reached
the globular state, and then the butter
mix drawn, aud thoroughly washed
with cold water till every trace of
buttermilk disappeared, then removed
TO the butter-worker, salted one ounce
to the pound, carefully but thoroughly
worked and then packed. The notice.
able point in its manufacture is the
Tree use of water. Mr.. jenkins. of
London, one of the English dairy au-
thorities, claims that good keeping
butter cannot be made il water is used.
The keeping quality of this prize but
ter had not been tested of course. but
from careful inquiry among leading
dairymen we failed to find such opin-
ions as that expressed by Secretary
jenkins, though all skilled butter
makers recognize the possible deleteri-
Gus effect of too much water. OF
course nothing like tepid or warm
water is allowable. This prize butter
was worked but once, though that
was very carefully and slowly done,
the cream being properly cured before
churning. The practice of working
but once we regard as reform in the
right direction. Butter suffers from
overworking more than from any
other process of manipulation. Spread
the butter out thin on worker, care
fully put on the salt. slowly work il in,
and pack the butter before its grain 10
hopelessly broken down. The salt
must be thoroughly incorporated in
the grain of the butter, or the butter
will be marbleized or colored in
streaks; but too much working spoils
the grain and makes the butter salty.
The quantity of salt, one ounce TO the
pound, we thought excessive, though
Ii did not taste too salt. Three-fourths
of an ounce to the pound is the stand
ard among the best New England but
ter-makers, and for gilt-edged butter
DIR. Hoskins SAYS half an ounce to the
pound is enough, and he is an author
ity in such matters. We have found
that tastes differ; the west uses more
salt than the east. But when all dairy
men make as fine butter as that which
won the prize, all reasonable people
will be satisfied

Statesville and Troutman's Depot on
the A, L. & 0. Railroad. With $1O,-
900 private subscription, the balance
of which will be raised at an early day,
and the $4,000 of county bonds, our
county feels certain the road can be
graded to either point, the distance
being between eighteen and twenty
miles, with not river, creek or branch
to cross, with the further fact develop
ed by former surveys, that the deepest
fill or cut will not be more than twen-
ty feet. We have the further assur-
ance that if the private subscription
and the county Bonds will grade the
road, the balance shall be done and
the road put in actual operation at
once. Under these circumstances and
the above encouragement and guaran-
tee, we intend to commence work the

A Curious Suit,
From the .4aanht Constitution.


A curious suit in equity has been
brought 20 this countS,. by Thomas
King, in order to establish the status
Of his wife and children. Mrs. King,
as young girl, was married in Mont
gomery, Alabama, in 1860. Her
young husband went Immediately to
the front as soldier. 1t was report
ed that he was killed in the first battle
of Bull Run. In 1865, in full belief
of the death of her husband, the Wild
ow was wooed and won by Thomas
King. The couple moved to La
grange, Ga, where they lived happily
until last year, three children being
born to them, aged respectively II,
ID and Is. One year ago Mr. King
was shocked to hear that the long
missing husband still lived. He inn
mediately separated from his wife,
and was inclined to sue for divorce.
He was advised that the marriage
having been a nulity, such = case could
not be settled by divorce proceedings,
so he has just filed i'll the Fulton Su-
perior Court singular bill in equity,
praying that his alleged wife and three
children be cited before the spring
term of the court to answer the bill,
and prays the court, in order to deter.
mine his relations toward said Mary
King and children, and toward society,
to fix the legal status of said children,
and to annul said marriage and declare
it void.

Is Col Wharton j. Green correctly

bacco? We do not believe he will vote
for any such bill as Scales. We will
see.-Morming Star. Possibly Col.
Green will support the admirable bill
introduced by Gen. Cox and possibly
also, Col. Green is old enough to ex-
ercise little mature judgment for
himself in this matter. The people of
