Mr. ID. w. Andrews, Lynntield. Mass.
is poultry farming on a scale unusually
large, aud with very exceptional success.
He started thirteen years ago, and now
winters 800 hens and has 4. 600 to 5000
during summer and fall. OF the location
breed, losses and feed The American
Cuhirator gives this information:
The farm is surrounded on three
sides with rocky. wooded hills, and has
in front a pond, while a stream of water,
which is rarely dry, runs through the
middle of it. The area occupied by the
poultry coops is but two or three acres.
= He changes, raising hi, own
chickens every W years. The breed
selected as most profitable Is a cross
made by breeding pure Yellow Leshorn
ROSTERS to pure White Brahma hens.
He uses old roosters for breeding pur-
poses. About fifteen hens are allowed
to each rooster. X He sets his
hens Il understand he doe. not use an
incubator) all along the course of the
winter and spring, and markets many
broilers in April. The broods average
eight or ten each, but of these he lai.es
but about half, owing to d~epredations
from foxes, weasels, mink and owls from
the woods close by. He gives them one
warm meal a day, each morning. which
consists usually Of boiled fishes heads
and onions, thickened up with meal.
For the remainder of the day he gives
all they will eat of oats, corn and wheat
screenings, Occasionally he mixed a lit
tie sulphur with the meal. Has had no
trouble from disease
In reference to range, cCops, roosts,
and some points of care and unique in
come we have the following data
I'm summer he gives them free range,
and they ramble beyond his bounds into
the woodland around. La winter they
are cooped up There are twelve ranges
Of coops, having from seven to twelve
coops in each range The ranges them
selves are about sixty feet apart The
roosts are strips of board but little above
the ground. with board floor beneath to
catch the droppings, which are cleaned
off daily. The coops are thoroughly
a year with ordinary whitewash. The
roosis and parts near are thus white
washed several times. The floor OF the
inner coop is covered with sand, which
is removed as deep as 1t is dark-colored
each spring, and sold for manure at Sc
per cord. The dropplngs from the roost
are sold IL tanners for 40 cents "a bushe'l
and bring about $500 annually :
oyster shells lie scattered about
the grounds. Iu most Of the open coops
remarkably healthy plum trees are grow
ing. The coops and grounds ar very
neat and clean. MIR. Andrews employs
two hands the year round to aid him In
care of his fowls and marketing

and Francisco thought he could not en-
rloy it better than by praying for HIM
self aud Maria. At first he was embar-
raised, and found difficulty i'll finding
words, but as the precious moments flew
by, and the executioner kept him posted
as the number Of minutes lett. the poor
wrctch's tongue became ,oosened. and
passionate appeals to God flowed from
his lips. He appeared to be terribly
anxious TO sly all he had to say IN the
given time. and his u%tteranccs were not
understood By his silent and fearful Is
leners. Tie drop fell. and Francisco's
body plunged down the trap. He
strangled to death, and Was buried IN
unconsecrated ground. Another life
vas lost in the taking Of this one, the
Rev. Mr.. Glober contracted a cold from
exposure, which resulted in his death.
The execution is regarded to this day as
a judicial murder.

None. Men are not hanged in Erie

On the 3lst of March, 1852. Henry
Francisco and his child wife, Maria, only
sixteen years Old, and only three weeks
a wife, were found insensible in bed,
with a bottle Of poison by their side.
Two letters, one in the hand of each,
informed the affrighted friends that al
though united in marriage but three
short weeks they desired to leave the
world for eternity, hand III hand. In
less than an hour the beautiful girl
breathed her last and the efforts OF the
physicians were concentrated upon the
purpose of saving the mans life. For
hours his life hung in the balance, but
finally the life of Francisco was saved

him On the eallows amid the tears and
groans OF a sympathetic people. As
soon as Francisco was able to bear re-
moval, he was arrested for the wiliul
murder of his bride and at the next as
sizes was put upon on trial. The attor-
ney general OF the State came all the
way from Philadelphia TO prosecute.
For a long time the jury could not agree.
| They had been charged that if they be-
lieved the accused had acquiesced in
Maria taking the poison they must find
him guilty. Not thoroughly compre-
hending this, the jury came into court
for more light, and Judge Shipper thus
addressed them: Gentlemen. il the

that no man has a right 10 destroy ltt
