Food for the Season.

This is the season when you should
feed root and vegetable food in con
junction with grain. to your fowl
stock, to take the place Of grass and
other green stuff that they were ac-
customed to in mild weather. If
poulterers would believe how valu-
able and succulent potatoes, cabbage,
tErnips and carrots are, when cooked
and mixed with meal and given to the
birds, it is certain they would make
ample provision for tkem in the com
ing Of winter.
Cooking the food in cold weather
is more nourishing than the old plan
of feeding wholly upon raw grains.
II tends to make the stock more
thrifty, and assists ia increasing their
steady growth. When improper and
unnecessary work is forced upon the
digestive organs, disease in its various
types. particularly Indigestion. is sure
to follow, and, as it is our power to
assist nature in modifying these
changes. a good full breakfast, warm
and fresh, is the best way Of giving
the morning meal ID cold weather to
our fowls.-Poultry Journal.

GEORGIA'S WONDERFUL WITCH.
Phenomena Produced by Fifteen
Near-OId Girl.
Rome Teleeranh

The Cherokee section Of Georgia is
greatly exclted over the manifesto
ti0ns of Miss Lula Hurst, the fifteen
year old daughter of William B.
Hurst, a substantial farmer of Polk
County. The stories told were Of such
a strange character that Colonel
Freedman of the Cedartown Adrerti-
ser, DR.. +. NJ. Liddell and several
other prominent citizens went out to
Mr.. Hurst's residence for the purpose
of investigating them. They found
the young woman to be the picture of
health and of modest manners.
Upon request to manifest some of
her newly developed powers she arose
and placed her hands upon the back
of a common chair, which soon began
to move, first slowly, then violently.
The Doctor was requested to hold the
chair. Being unable to do so alone
then two, then three men, with no bet
ter effect. Apparently there was not
a particle of physical force used by
the young lady, her hands merely
resting carelessly on the back of the
chair. On a previous occasion four Of
the stoutest men in the neighborhood
had found it impossible to hold the
chair. A large, old-fashioned bed
stead stood with its head back in the
corner of the room. On the foot of
the bed Mss Lulu placed her hands
lightly, and it arose two feet in the
air and moved swiftly around the
room.
Miss Lora Wimberly, cousin of Miss
Lulu, while in bed recently, heard a
humping noise in the cardboard,
which she thought was produced by
her cousin with her fingers, and she
requested her to stop and go to sleep.
Miss Lulu protested innocence, yet the
sound grew more audible. a playful
remark that it should strike her
caused a sensation like a slight shock,
felt by Miss Wimberly about the face.
The sound was then called to manifest
itself whore commanded about the
bed, and the bed was finally com
manded to move, and, to the wonder
of the occupants, rolled briskly around
the room.
This is the circumstance which led
to the subsequent experiments. On a
recent occasion, while Miss Lulu was
in bed, she thought of a favorite air
when its music emanated strangely
from the head-board of the bed, and
was heard by more than half a dozen
present sitting in the On ano-
ther occasion an uncle, a man above
the ordinary weight, sat in a chair,
his feet on the rounds, while the lady
placed her hand with an under grip
on the upper back of the chair and
lifted him across the room These
people know nothing of spiritualism,
and are sorely troubled by manifesto
tons which they deem the work of an
evil spirit.
