L. Walton Of Ccncordia.
From the Concordia Eagle of July ia
Democratic paper-we take the following
extracts of editorial opinion, prefacing the
appended letter from the pen of Hon. Geo.
L. Walton, ex-President of the State Sen
ate and hitherto one of the most prominent
Democratic leaders in North Louisiana:
Weary to sickness of this constant sup
preston of truth to conceal the rottenness,
treachery and utter disregard of every prin-
ciple of Democracy which bids fair to
secure absolute control of our organization,
this exposition of the political condition
here is readily given, while trusting it may
arouse all honest Democrats to q realiza-
ton of the position and the necessity OF
party publication.
In Concordia parish are 1854 colored
people and 1920 whites. OF these 3770 are
voters; from $50 to 375 of them white men,
and the latter, now that all other influence
in this direction has been removed, may
mould to a great extent the political senti.
ment and direct the votes of all the rest,
and yet not resort to methods other than
honorable gentlemen and intelligent and
patriotic citizens would employ.
What prospect then, of Democratic sue.

but a desultory inquiry produces the
names of over $50 white men, of the inaueu'
tial and substantial class, emphatically pro
nouneed for Blaine and Logan? There /:

Eggs.

A certain degree of moisture is neces-
sary for the Matching of eggs. The
biddv which hides her nest away in
some secluded spot on the ground
usually comes out with fine brood Of
young chickens, while the one which
had her nest made high up from the
ground in some dry place very likely
failed to hatch the most of her eggs
Generally the hen will hatch the most
of her eggs when her nest is placed
upon the ground. If it is not practi-
cable to build the nest upon the ground,
it is advisable, in order to maintain a
certain degree of moisture, to place
few shovelfuls of earth in box and
place the nest upon that. When nests
are made of straw and placed upon the
floor the air circuates throughout the
nest 80 rapidly that the eggs become
too dry to hatch well.

From Western Ins nstructor.l


The subject of this sketch was born
near Prospect, Butler county, Pa, on
the l2th of June, lS45, and commenced
life which proved to be of checkered
scenes, made up of sunshine and
shadow. He commenced his education
in the common school when about six
years of age, but had little desire for
study till near ten years; then to be
kept at home was q punishment He
was never behind in his class, but gen.
orally first. AT an early age he COM
menced his college life at New Will
mington, Pa, and entered the prepara.
tory course, and then the regular COL
lege course. He remained out two
terms to teach school in order to help
pay his expense at college At the
close of the Junior year he, with num-
ber of his classmates, went to Mon
mouth, ILL.,, and graduated at the end
OF the senior year, June 1870. During
his senior year in college he attended
also the theological seminary. From
Monmouth he came to Allegheny Sem
mary, was licensed by Monongahela
Presbytery in the Spring OF 1871, and
finished his theological course in 1872.
Then he did missionary work for some
time in various parts of the church till
in 1874, when he accepted a call to the
Lisbon Center congregation, New
4 ork, and was ordained and installed
by the Presbytery of Albany on Janu-
sry 2lst, 1875. He remained ut Lisbon
Center two years when be resigned,
and again did missionary work until
January, 1879, when he took charge of
Marlette congregation in the Presbytery
of Detroit. By a unanimous vote the
congregation went into the PRESBYTERIAN
Church, and he went with them, aad
was installed by the Saginaw Presby-
terry. After pastorate of two and
a-haif years be resigned because he
was broken down in health by over
work. He was never again able for
ministerial work, but under decline
OF health and strength nature gradually
but surely gave way He died at Pros
pect, among his relatives, on the 22nd
of November, 1888.

he was of the amiable type; as min

continued affection; he was very
patient, no complaints, no irets as q
Christian he was one of those whose
pathway had no clouds of darkness,
and no doubts of his interest in Christ.

The Origin Of the Potato.

The potato, originally South Amer
ican plant, was introduced TO Virginia
by Sir John Harvey in 1929, though it
was unknown in some counties of En-
gland hundred and fifty years later
In Pennsylvania, potatoes are mention
ed very soon after the advent OF the
Quakers they were not among New
York products in 1896; but in ITS
we are told of eleven thousand bushels
grown on one sixteen-acre patch in this
province. Potatoes were served, per-
haps as an exotic rarity, at Harvard
installation dinner in 1907; but the
plant was only brought into culture in
New England at the arrival of the
Presbyterian immigrants from Ireland
in l7l8. Five bushels were accounted
a large crop of potatoes for Connecti-
cut farmer for it was held that, if
man ate them every day, he could not
live beyond seven years.-Jannary

Management OF Young Fowls.

With the little chicks the trouble is
gaps, and we have great many reme-
dies for their relief, but the gapes is a
disgrace to the poultry yard, and it's
prevention should be sought instead of
its cure. The disease can be avoided
altogether by feeding the chicks on
board or some other hard, clean sur
face; the food, if soft, should be freely
mixed at every feeding and all traces
OF the portion not consumed cleared
away. IF confined with the hen iu
latticed coops or small runs the chicks
should be removed to new location
daily The cape worm is the result of
filth and decaying matter.
Young turkeys, and in fact all
young fowls, should be kept away
from wet grass or exposure to damp
ness until well under feather. The
down on young fowls is not d protec-
ton against moisture; it is simply
natures covering for retaining warmth
until the bird is feathered They
should all be fed regularly, at stated
periods and often, especially during
the process of feathering. With young
turkeys the feathering season is very
critical period, and heavy drain is
made on the system thereby. The
omission of single feed is sometimes
fatal, for once the young fowl becomes
deblitated it's progress receives check
from which it seldom RECEIVERS. Young
turkeys are very tender, but they take
good care of themselves when of suf-
fcient age The change of the cover
ering from down to feathers is the
turning point with all young fowls.
Vermin, such as lice and parasites,
will ruin any flock, no matter how
cared for otherwise; hence the strict
est watch should be kept for their ap-
pearance and determination.
Some heather, are not as much of the
hethen as we think; read Mahometan
proverb, "God has bestowed the good
things of this world to relieve our ne
cessities, not to reward our virtues;
these will be rewarded in another
world" We know of no greater neces-
sity to be relieved, to be relieved than
u stubborn cold, and we know no bet
ter relief than Or. Bull's Congb Syrup.

Keeping Cream.

Next in importance to having milk
perfectly pure and sweet, and free from
all animal odors, comes the matter OF
keeping the cream after it is taken from
the milk In the first place, the less
milk there is with the cream better. "A
great deal of carelessness is shown in
this matter, for be it known that milk
makes cheese, while the cream on y
makes butter, and the more milk there
is in the cream at the churning time
the better, and therefore the more lia-
BILE to spoil afterwards, unless very
highly salted. Really pure, good but
ter requires very little salt, while but
ter as ordinarily made will sour again
unless well salted or kept covered in
brine.
Secondly the cream jar must be of
the best quality of stoneware-tbick
glass would be better-and must have
cover that will exclude all dust and
insects
Thirdly, the cream jar should be
kept in a place where no noxious odors
or gases can be absorbed when the jar
is opened to receive more cream, and
also where the temperature can be kept
cool and equable-say about sixty de.
gree; and lastly, the cream is to be
made into butter as soon as it begins
to sour; and when the jar is emptied it
must be thoroughly cleaned and scald-
ed before being used again.
