Before whitewashing a poultry
house smudge the house faithfully BY
mixing carbolic acid, turpentine and
sulphur. and firing the same, combining
the smoke for two hours. Then air and
whitewash, and you will save the fowls
from the liability of lice, save feed. get
more eggs. and have clear conscience
of duty done to your stock.-Prdirie

ally; bake in a long, shallow creased

I'm almost all Gtters of pigs there
will be one or more that are under
sized. If the larger and stronger pigs
are taken from the sow first and well
fed they will not suffer. while the weak
lings, if left with the mother somewhat
longer, will grow rapidly, catch up to
the others, and make the whole lot
more even in size than if all be taken
away at once, and it will be no worse
for the sow.-Ioronto Mil.
A correspondent asks: Can apple
trees be moved of five or six years
standing from a clay to sandy soil
without loss of trees, if so. at what time
of year, and how to move them? In re-
ply we would say that apple trees will
do well enough on sandy soil if it has
clay sub-soil; and if the trees are not
too large you can remove them in the
spring. Western Rural.

of lump sugar and half gill of water.

To take up young forest tree, first
wind a wet sack around the stem, close
to the ground, so tightly that it can not
slip; then take timber stitch with
small chain cable, cut off few roots on
the side opposite the steady team, and
you will get nearly every root whole
and plenty of soil. l took up 100 rock
naples in this way last spring, after
had learned to wind the sack properly,
without damage to the trees. In this
way two men with team will take up
more trees in an hour than they could
without a team in half a day.-M E.

A Joke On Smith.

A Galveston female school teacher
was on very intimate terms with the
male teacher in the same school. He
was in the habit of strolling into hel
room during the recess, and chatting
with the object of his affections. HIS
name was Smith.
One day the lady teacher endeavored
to make the class comprehend the om-
nipresence of God. She explained to
them that God was everywhere.
Now. my dear children, suppose
you all 60 out of this room except my
self, and stay in here. Am l alone?"
asked the female teacher.
No" exclaimed one of the little
girls. mir. Smith will be with you. "

Health and Longevity a

A sad phase of life is the large num-

Storm Signals.

As the coming of a great storm Is her

announced in advance by pimples, blotches,
eruptions, ulcers, glandnlar swelliugs, and

Preservation of Negro Dialect Hymns

An old colored woman of Atlanta
was asked how their dialect hymns were
brought into existence. She answered (:
''Well, l reckon de spirit was a
CROWN and dey jess had to come out. ="
A good definition of inspiration, was
it not?
Among the more intelligent negroes
find strange disposition to eschew
these wonderful! slave songs. The
young men and women of Atlanta Uni
versity seem to share, in a measure,
this slightly contemptuous estimation of
the old melodies. l suppose it is be-
cause their awakening intelligence as
sociates them with the degradation of
their race, and they have not the pene-
tration to see that these wonderful
hymns embody the very genius of their
people.
Another fact makes it hard to gather
together reliable collection the vari-
Gus hymns are sung differently in differ
emit localities, so that frequently two
versions Of the same piece would hardly
be recognized as akin. This was the
inevitable result of the illiteracy of the
negro, whereby both words and music
were unwritten for so long time.
1t is matter of regret to me that in
most of the Southern city colore1
churches an effort has been made to dis
card these plantation melodies, exceptiE
social religious meetings.-SaH Lake

Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin, of 1889 Ridge Ave.,

OF that city from the great good she has

Capt. W. II BclIingcr gave us, IL few
days ago, n graphic verbal account Of
the strange and almost fatal experience
that hefcll n portion Of his family last
week. He I'd gohc to Gcorgia's Greek
church as a delegate from the Blackvillc
church to the union meeting Mrs.
Bcllinger, his son, -four years old. aud
the infant child. four months old, were
with him. On Monday, 3lst ult., they
dined with Mrs. Oloiu, who lives some
two miles from the church and ten miles
fr"n Btackviilc. In the afternoon, Mrs.
Bellingcr. carrying her baby, went, with
the little boy into the g%artlan, q hundred
yards from the. house. While they.
were quietly walking a bee flew upon
and Stung her little SON, making IL sibi-
liant noise like the hiss OF n serpent.
Quickly in answer to its call. countless
bees came flying from all directions and
attacked the mother and both her chill
dren. Mrs. Rcllinser tried to brush
and beat them off with her hands but
DOR found that impossible. Telling
her son To run to the house She started
in that direction, but after going Il little
way she looked back and found that he
had become bewildcred and climbed a
high plank fence. Running back she
took him up and carried both children
to the house rs quickly as she could.
Captain Bellingcr and Mr.. Thomas
Odom met them ut the rear piazza and
tried to bent off the attacking bees, but
requirements came so rapidly that
they were forced to carry them into n
room and shut the windows before they
could relieve them from their assailants.
SUCH remedies us were at hand were adj

medical aid, but five hours passed he.

the attack had been fecding on the ripe
figs in the garden. They ure different
