How to Raise Chickens.

There are so many different
breeds of fowls that there is cer>
tainly an opportunity for all lovers
of poultry to suit their own fancy.
Yet it is difficult for a farmer to
get Just the kind that he wants,
He desires flock of hens that will
lay plenty of eggs, produce good
meat for the table, not try to sit all
summer, or do too much running
over the grain-felds. We have
found the Leghorns excellent lays
ers, but they forage too much, 60
to the back end of the farm to
scratch up the corn, and fly to the
highest part of the barn to get on
the wheat NOW or grain stacks.
Most strains of Brahmas are in
tolerable sltters. We have finally
made choice Of the Plymouth
Rocks for a farm breed, although
in some respects they may be sur,
passed by others. The fowls
should be provided with IL building
for their exclusive use. With a
well.planned poultry house the
care of fowls is lessened, and the
annoyance of fhaving them scratch-
ing everywhere is prevented. Con-
sidering the value OF q good flock
of chickens, the profit in keeping
them well, and the fertilizing quals
tiles of the manure. it is strange
that the fowls should be neglected
as they are on many farms. The
horse and cOw-stables are cleaned
every day, why should not the
hen-hOuse? Keep their house
clean and odorless, if you would
be successful with fowls. Have a
good floor under the roost, which
can be scraped clean every day.
Whitewash the inside of the build
ing frequently, and keep the air
pure. Keep lice away by placing
tobacco leaves in the nest of the
sitting hen. Pour a small quaint.
ty of kerosene along the roosting
poles. Ifyou do all this and cam
not kill the lice, then kill the hens
In summer the chickens should
have the run of a roomy, grassy
yard, if they cannot be allowed at
large on the farm. In winter feed
plenty of green food, such as cab
bage leaves, etc. Summer and
winter give the hens milk, sour
milk or buttermilk, and the eggs
will be plentiful. Have an ar
rangement for watering, so thai
the young chicks will not bt

Four Great Generals.

The four greatest generals pro,
duced by the great civil war on the
national side were Grant, McPher>
son, Sherman and Sheridan. One
of the most pleasant memories Of
American history is and will for-
eyer be the fact that between these
four great commanders there was
never the shadow of jealousy or
envy. 1t is the highest honor that
Grant ever received from mems
judgment or admiration that these
three able captains all willingly and
always looked up to him as their
superior. Mcpherson fell in battle
before the splendor of his abilities
could attract the worlds attention,
but in his death Grant, as he de-
clared, lost one of the greatest
perhaps the very greatest-of his
lieutenants. Sheridan, as in right
of his Irish blood, had the iercest
spirit in battle; Sherman, the great
est invention in council, while M:-
Pherson could fight with the one
and plan with the other, but they
all admitted, because they knew
and felt, that "the silent gray-eyed
man" was greater than they.
Why" | asked General Sherman
once, did you and Sheridan always
acknowledge Grant to be your
leader?" Because" he responded
in his quick, idiomatic manner
while | could map out q dozen
plans for campaign, every one Of
which Sheridan would swear he
could fight out to victory, neither
he nor could tell which Of thu
plans was the best one; but Grant
who SIMPLY sat and listened ant
smoked while we had been talking
over the maps, would at the end O.
our talking tell US which was tn,
best plan and in n dozen or tw,
words the reason of his decision
and then it would all be so clear I,
us that he was right that Sheridan
and | would look at each other an,
wonder why we hadn't seen tn
| advantage Of it ourselves.

Victory For General Logan.

The Senatorial contest in Illinois
has ended, as it ought to haye end.
ed long ago, 10 the triumph Of the
candidate Of a majority Of the peo>
pie, General John A. Logan. In
Illinois 337 900 voted to elevate
him to the position of Vice .Presis
dent and presiding officer of the
Senate, against $4,000 votes for
his Democratic opponent. Yet a
few politicians, attempting to salts
fly private greeds or grudges in des
fiance of the will of the people,
haye kept the State party unrepre>
sented for months, subjected it to
great expense, and disgraced it by
struggle memorable for its bitter
ness, for the unscrupulous measures
employed both at the election in
Chicago and since, and for the
shameless indecency Of some Of the
participants.
General Logan comes out Of this
struggle with stainless honor. He
comes out of it with a magnificent
reputation as a brave, faithful and
honest candidate, who would not
consent TO be elected by any im-
proper means. He comes out Of it
with a higher reputation than eyer,
as leader Of splendid skill, courage
and sapacity. When the Demo.
Gratis began the fight by stealing
ballots and forging returns in
Chicago, they might haye stolen
seat in the Senate, as they intended,
had net wise and resolute leaders
ship hunted down the criminals
and lodged them in Jail. And the
crowning and decislye victory Of
the long campaign, the election Of
a Republican member in a district
where the Democrats had expected
no opposition, showed a skill and
generalship worthy Of the candidate.
Of the great soldiers Of the Civil
War, General Logan remains the.
foremost in active political life. 1t
is good to know that the Confeder-
ate Generals and Brigadier> Generals
who are swarming about the Capi-
tai now will meet an antagonist
there who realizes what q horrible
crime the Rebellion was, and does
not hesitate to speak Of it as it de-
serves. The feelings Of a great
host of Union soldiers all over the
land will not lack expression when
General Logan comes to deal with
President Cleveland's appointments.
Patronage was used in the most
audacious and shameless way to
compass his defeat, and he will be
able to tell the Mugwumps, from
personal observation, what is the
outcome Of Ciyil-Servlce reform in
Illinois. Even those unhappy peo,
pie who tell no truth of sincere Re-
publicans except under protest have
been obliged to admit that Senator
Logan has grown remarkably in
culture and power, in personal
equipment and in public confidence,
and he will take his place in the
Senate as one of the most infuen,
tial and Justly honored Republican
leaders.-N. Y. Tribune.

- Without intending to find
fault in any manner with the able
gentlemen who have revised the
Bible, there is in this version a GER
tain something. on unfamiliar ap-
pearancc, which will at once strike
every newspaper man. Our coms
ment is The same as the London
Daily Telegraph, which is reported
by cable as entering protest
against the wiping out OF an old
landmark, so to speak, "Hell is
injudiciously dismissed" says the
Telegraph, and even before we
have had the entire work, we echo
the editors plaintive wall. With>
out entering into the argument as
to whether hell received a judicious
or injudicious dismissal, we claim
that we should have been allowed
to retain that one name in the Bl,
BILE which, in our younger days, ev-
er presented itself to our minds in
odorous letters of fire. Besides, it
breaks up a whole combination of
profanity. "Sheol and blazes" does
not seem to have that meaning
when we strike our fingers with q
hammer, that intense expressive"
ness which the old version allowed,
and that is but one of many exs
pressions which must be modelled
anew, or lost entirely, if we are to
have n, more plain, undressed hell.
One thing the press and the pubs
lie should insist upon, which is,
that the word used as q substitute
shall be more expressive than sheol.
Give us something that sounds
like old times, or wipe out even o
reference to the abode of His Sa-
tanic Majesty.-Phila. Herald,
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1885-05-28

II tell you," he continued, after
a moments pause, Grant is not aps
preciated yet. The critics of Eu,
rope are too ignorant of American
geography to appreciate the condi-
tions OF his campaigns. What is
it to march an army from Berlin to
Paris ? Look at the shortness of
the distance. Look at the multis
tude of roads. Look at the facili-
ties Of transportation, Consider
how many times the same ground
has been fought oyer by successive
commanders. Is not every point of
vantage known ? What comman,
der can blunler where all the cons
ditions lie open to the eye But |
have seen Grant plan campaigns
for half million of troops along a
front line twenty five hundred miles
In length and send them marching
to their objective points through
sections where the surveyors cham
was never drawn and where the
commissariat necessities alone would
have broken down any transportaA
ton system of Europe, and three
months later | have seen these ar
mics standing where he said they
should be what he planned and ac-
complished. And | give it as my
military opinion that General Grant
is the greatest commander of mod
ern times, and with him only three
others can stand-Napoleon, We'll
lington and Moltke."

Not Dead Yet.

Atlanta papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful cases that are quite
interesting. II seems that young lady OF
Atlanta hal been reported as dead, but 1t
came TO the ears of the Atlanta Journal that
she was still alive, and being on the alert for
news, a reporter was sent to the residence to
learn all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who
had been pronounced dead, met him ut the
door, stoutly denying that she was dead. She
ssid:
"For four years, rheumatism and neural
gia have resisted physicians and all other
treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up,
my flesh shrank away, my joints were swol-
len, painful and large. lost my appetite, was
reduced to 90 pounds In weight and for
months, was expected to die. ! commenced
the use ofB. b. B. and the action of one half
bottle convinced my friends that 1t would
cure me. Its effect was like magic. 1t gave
me an appetlte-save me strength, relieved
all pains and aches, added flesh to my bones,
and when five bottles had been used ! had
gained 50 pounds OF flesh, and l am to-day
sound and WELL"

Senator Vests Remarkable d Og.

81 have a dog" said Senator Vest,
who had just heard precocious
crow story, "who is very sagacious.
One morning he watched intently
while a negro boy blackened my
shoes. The following morning he
came to where | was sitting with a
blacking brush in his mouth. You
may not believe it, but that dog got
down on his launches, spit on my
shoes, took the brush in his teeth
and rubbed away like house on
fire. But | must admit Mat he did
not get up much Of a polish. One
Sunday, while | was living at Se-
dalla, this dog followed me to
church. | noticed that he watched
every movement Of the preacher.
That afternoon heard q terrible
bowling of dogs in my back yard
| went out to see what was the
matter. My dog was in the wood
shed, standing on his hind legs on
an old dry goods box. He held
down torn almanac with one fore>
leg and gesticulated wildly with the
other, while he swayed his head and
howled to an audience of four 9th,
er dogs, even more sadly than the
preacher had heard that morning.

A Prosperous COmmunistic Town
shin.

Every one knows something of
the prosperity of Swiss townships,
where so many things are in COM
mon, but more remarkable in
stance still of a thriving commun-
ity is given by M. de Laveleye IN
The Contemporary Review. 1t is
the township of Ereudenstadt, at
the foot Of Kniebis, in Baden.
There ale 1.420 inhabitants, each of
whom has as much wood for build
ing purposes and firing as he wish-
ed, while he can send his cattle out
to pasture on the common land dur>
ing the summer. Schools, churches,
thoroughfares and fountains are all
maintained in the commune, and
every year considerable improve
ments are made. Twenty-Five thou
sand dollars was spent in 1883, for
instan &c, on establishing new wa
ter supply in iron pipes.
A hospital, too, has been built
and a pavilion in the market place,
where the communal band plays on
fete days. The villagers have never
paid a single farthing in taxes, but
on the contrary, each year distri-
button of the surplus revenue is
made among them, and each family
usually obtains from $3.50 to $l5.
All this is done with about 5000
acres of pine forest and meadow
land belonging to the township, a
fact which seems to show that COM
munism is not always unfavorable
to the production Of wealth.
