Poultry in the South.

Among the now considered small
interests of the south is that oil
poultry. A "chicken man" south
is laughed at by his neighbors, and
set down as either a crank or fool.
A chicken man" in the north and
east is lord. The man in the
south who gives So for a Plymouth
Rock rooster is ready for the luna
tic asylum, while the fanciers of the
north and west think no more OF
giving SIS and $50 for Q chicken
than the Georgia Cracker" thinks
of drinking a quart OF sweet milk a
day. Men all over the north and
west are daily coming money rails
ing chickens, yes, raising chickens
"a little business. During my
travels in Massachusetts and Indi-
ala last summer l sat down to
meat with at least three chicken
men" who had amassed fortunes by
raising poultry both for fancy and
market. One young man of 20 had
sold during March, April and May,
$4,000 worth of eggs and chickens,
and in June had more orders than
he could fill. A man of SO, in In
diana, worked, IL years ago, as a
day laborer on a farm to get the
money to buy his first pair of
chickens, and to- day ne owns a fine
farm and is worth $685. 900, all from
his "chicken business" Now these
two mon are only fair samples of
hundreds of .'chicken men" all over
enterprising Yankeedom, where
they have six months of snow and
ice, and are compelled to build win
ter quarters for their chicks, while
in our sunny land rarely a day
dawns that we can not turn our
birds upon a green pasture of oats,
rye, barley or wheat. We have the
grandest country on earth for poul-
try, as it is for something else, and
yet our folks are sitting down and
idling away time with the gold
fields in view.-Cor. Southern

Live newspapers are the best ed

Live newspapers are the best ed.
ucators of country youth. This is
well called mailbag education, -
and is one of the greatest blessings
of the century, though sometimes
mixed with evil. But there is evil
in most things. Such seems to have
been the law of creation. Evil is
that we may overcome it and thus
grow strong. Napoleon loved OBJ
stacles that he might combat them.
Given a wise assortment of periodi-
Gals: an independent political jour
nal; a clean, breezy, literary paper
or magazine; a wide-awake, pro
gressive farm paper;-one or more
of each; and our boys of the farm
will have material to keep their
brains busy and free from rust.
The seeds Of evil may breed discon-
tent with poor farming, poverty and
narrowness, But such evil is good.
Cherish it; water it with encourage
ment; cultivate it with wider knowl-
edge; train it with better practice,
broader system OF culture, contact
with progressive men. Then the
fruit may be self-gained education,
valuable experience, and in later
years a progressive, wise, success
full, influential agriculturist. The
world needs such men by thousands.

Fence Rail Philosophy.


Well, we had a very pleasant
time at Tom Browns last night,
and l could see in the sparkle of
Mrs. Browns eyes and the rosy
tint of her cheeks, that she appre-
ciated it as a veritable oasis in her
desert Of life. l believe, too, that
Tom experienced a new sensation,
and,if his conscience has not become
dsadened by its contact with coarse
associations, hewent to bed last night
With a purer sense of happiness
i.han he has experienced for many
u day. Tom has a pleasant family.
His little codgers are bright, smart
and sharp as steel. His wife is an
active, industrious, well meaning
soul-but-ah, that means a great
deal, sometimes, and it means in
this case an awful barrier that
stands in the way of Toms COM
plete reform. But, l declare, here
comes Mrs. Brown herself, and now
what / was going to say TO myself,
I'll say to her, which may be a lit
tie more to the purpose.
Good morning, Mrs. Brown. I on
look as happy as a lark. Well,
why shouldn't you? You enjoy
good health, you have good home,
and your little family is worth its
weight in diamonds. You have al
the ingredients, that, combined
properly, go to make up human hap
! piness.
But here's where the trouble
comes in, Mrs. Brown. We may
have al the ingredients, but We
don't always put them together in
the right way. Now l notice thai
my wife once in a while makes 6
poor loaf of bread, and the fault is
not always in the materials she
nses. The flour may be the very
hest, the yeast pure, fresh and &C
tive, the fire just right, but some
thing in the act of combining these
together goes wrong and the resul
is a failure.
Now, Mrs. Brown, with all the ell
ements for making home happy a
your command, you have not al
ways succeeded in making it, have
you?
No; those wrinkles of care OF
your forehead are the record tina
cannot be disputed nor denied
They tell of troubles which should
never have been permitted to clouC
your life.
And, on whom rests the blame
Tom has done wrong, and l hav,
just tried to tell him so; but itsn'
it just possible that he was crowded
out of the right path into tn
wrong?
Tom is not bad at heart, but hi
companionable nature has led hin
astray. He likes to be in jolly com
pany where he can throw dull care
to the winds and give himself up t.
jolity and mirth.
Now, Mrs. Brown, why has b,
been obliged to leave home to ge
this enjoyment?
Why, have the tavern, billiard
room and the saloon been more at
tractive to him than his own home
1t is because you have allowed
these places to out-bid you in home
like attractions.
Yes, l mean what l say, home
like attractions. Yesterday as
passed a saloon / saw a bill posted
in the window reading something
like this:

Sheep and Dogs.

Home anu Farm.
1 have concluded to give the
many readers of the Home and
Farm a valuable remedy for the pro-
lection of sheep from dogs: Take
a puppy, say a Newfoundland or
st. Bernard or the mastif, and raise
him with the sheep. The way to
train q dog to bee 1me a perfect
protector to sheep is to rear him in
such a manner that he shall become
familiar with no other animal, and
especially with any of his own spe-
cies, except the one or more neces-
sary to associate with him in guard
ing the flock. AS soon as the pup
is born, or at least when its eyes
are opened, he must be taken to the
eve to nurse, depriving her at the
same time of her lamb for this pur-
pose. This, of course, should be
done as soon as mild weather OF
spring is settled, so that the pup
can live safely out-of-doors, unless
the shepherd has a camp or hut
near his flock to shelter the pup and
eve inside when the weather is
stormy. The eve soon takes to the
pup and becomes as fond of it as OF
her own lamb. AS the pup grows
up and requires other food than the
milk of the eve, it is given him
alongside the flock. Thus he knows
nothing else than the sheep, the
dogs who are his companions, and
his masters.
The flock will follow the dog any
where--over broad hills and plains,
along the public highways, and
even in the streets of crowded towns
and cities--and nothing can stop
them or turn them to the right or to
the left.

A gentleman from an Eastern city, who

ton of the power and properties of eXplO-
sives, says Huntington pa. special,
has come to the Interior of the State to
further prosecute his experiments. He
found it necessary to leave the pOpulous
centres, and to retire to a secluded and
unrrequented spot where he could handle
and use his dangerous compounds with
out disturbing and perhaps injuring
others with violent detonations and the
accompanying results. His exact loca-
ton is known to but few, and he desires
that it shall not be disclosed, so that he
may not be interrupted during the week
or two that he may remain. He desires
also that his name shall be withheld from
the public until he has fully tested the
comparative value of new explosive he
claims to have discovered.
Various trials of its effectiveness have
been made, all of which, he states, have
been entirely satisfactory and have proved
it to be more destructive than dynamite.
He says he can furnish the Nihilists a
better King-killer than any they have yet
QaQs 1nTGS Oh JuC ulOSb important OF
these trials have been made this week. A
solid rock prOtruding from the base of
Fussey Mountain, of which 1000 cubic
feet, estimated to weigh eighty-fve tons,
We're exposed, was drilled to a depth of
six feet, more than half It's thickness, and
a glass tube, seVen-eighths of an inch in
diameter and ten inches long, filled with
the explosive, was introduced. The rest
of the operation was precisely the same
as in blasting with dynamite and the re-
suit was as complete breaking up of the
rock as could possibly have been accom-
plished. Nearly half of the exposed part
was broken into fragments that a man
can handle, some of them being thrown
to great distance, and it was shattered
and lOoseued for many feet under the
mountain side.
A sound white oak tree, three feet in
diameter, was perforated to the heart at a
distance of eight feet from it's roots and
small glass ball containing the compound
was inserted and exploded. The body Of
the tree was split into kindling wood, the
roots were torn from the earth and no
two of the limbs within 80 feet of the
ground remained together.
A rifle was charged with powder and
the BAH fired into pine tree, which was
penetrated two and a half inches. The
gun was then charged with the same
quantity of the new explosive and the ball
fired into the same tree, the penetration
being nearly five inches.
