Why he Was Not Admitted.

An editor died and slowly wen ded
his way down to where he supposed
a warm reception waited him.
The devil met him and said: "For
many years thou hast borne the
blame OF bad spelling that the prin-
ter has gotten off in the paper; the
paper has gone out for $l.0O, alas!
The $l.OO has failed to coma ia.
The printer has often beliylel thee
for wages Saturday night when thou
hadst not a darned farthing to thy
name; men have taken the paper
without paying for it, and cursed
thee for not getting up better one.
Thou hast been called n dead beat
by the freight conductor, and dead
heat by the passenger conductor,
when thou hast shown up thy annual
pass to their envious gaze. All these
things thou hast borne in silence.
Thou canst not come in here" And
he fired him. As he did so he NUT
tered to himself; Heaven Is his
home, and beside, If We had let him
in once, he would have been dunning
delinquent subscribers. and thereby
creating discord IN my kingdom."-

Plymouth Rocks.

Among the many fine breeds Of
this country, the Plymouth Rocks
hold very prominent place. Some
other breeds have more pronounced
characteristics, are more beautiful
in plumage, more varied in colors
and artistic markings, but the chief
merit of the Plymouth Rocks is In
their utility. They have won their
place to the front rank by merit
alone, for they had to contend
against birds which showed fine
colors and good breeding.
Plymouth Rocks are egg produce
ers; their flesh is Of good color and
superior to that of most all our
large breeds for the table. They
are hardy and vigorous, and able to
stand the severe changes Q. teMperA-
ture. The color Of the plumage In
dicates stamina and fecundity. They
seem to resist those frequent ailings
which attack many Of our fine bred
fowls, and for this reason they are
well adapted to farmers and othars
who do not nesroW much care on
their feathered stock.
UA1IC tulo VuIlcly Is kept lUere IS
no necessity for having two breeds
in order to obtain both eggs and
and chickens, as must ho done when
only the LeghOrns, Hamb urge Or
other non-sitting varieties are kept.
AS the comb and wattles are Of
moderate size, there Is less ltbility

The Poultry Yard.
GRoESD BoxE.


Poultry raiscrs should not neglect to
use sufficient raw bone, either crush
ed or in the form ofimeal. 1t contains
lime the same as oyster shell, but 1t
also contains animal matter which is
OF great value. Bone when burnt is Of
comparatively little value over oys-
ter shells, but when crushed or
raw, supplies value peculiar to itse II.
All classes OF poultry are extremely
fond Of it. Care should be taken to
have it pure and sweet. It Is good
for all classes and ages OF poultry. S
For young chicks it should be used
in the form Of meal, mixing small
quantity two or three times a week
with their soft feed, say one quart to
a bushel Of corn meal. For young
turkeys it is always indispensable, to
prevent leg weakness. At about the
time Of thier shooting the red,' when
their health becomes established ana
they grow apace the development OF
their frames and legs requires 2
more liberal assimilation OF material
than can be afforded by
the usual articles OF food. It Is well
to begin to mix a little bone meal
| with the feed Of small turkeys, and
from the time they are four weeks
old it can be used freely. No inju-
rious effects will follow, for it is uu-
tritious, and cspe cially it supplies
material to rapidly develop and
strengthen the bones of the legs.
All raiscrs OF young turkeys know
that leg weakness is one of the evils
to which they are exposed, and this
is a natural and excellent proven
tive; and here is one OF the many
cases where preventive is far better
than cure. Brahma and other Asia
tic chicks, for the same reason, are
greatly benefited by its use.
Raw bone has been proven by
analysis to contain every part Of an
egg-whitc, yolk, and OF course
shell. 1t should be constantly kept
in special place in the pen or apart
ment Of laying hens, as they will con-
sumo large quantities OF it, and 1t
goes chiefly to egg production.
Granulated is the best form in
which to place it before adult fowls,
and in this shape it keeps fresh lon
ger than when ground into meal.
Bone is one Of the principal ingre-
dients in the composition Of most Of
the "egg foods" in market.-Ameri.

A Strange Story.

Here is a story that reads strangely,
writes a Macon correspondent of The
atlanta Constitution. A farmer named
William A. Evans lived near Summer
field, where he farmed and did a mer-
camille business. On March Is, 1884,
he was discovered with his head beat
en- to a jelly. An ak was found in the
room. A negro girl, Carrie Massey,
vas in the room under q pile of corn.
There was much excitement, and n
%coroner's inquest returned a verdict
that the girl did the deed. She de-
niedit; said that she was paid by Marion
Carr, a brother-in-law of the deceased,
to let him into the room, with a negro
man, and they killed him. After the
killing Carr rumbled about among
certain papers for the purpose of find
ing a will, which he knew was kept in
a certain box. An experienced detec-
tive took the case. The will was never
found. The girl was convicted and
sentenced for life in the Dade coal
mines. A long suit for the possession
of the property followed and is now
pending in the supreme court. OF the
counsel in the case was the lamented
Judge Bartlett. The NEGRO man, who
the girl said was let in the room. was
killed afterward. The white man left
the country under an assumed name.
Judge Bartlett has died. tor a num-
Der of months Marion Carr has acted
queerly. He seemed to be lodging
something only seen by himself. He
would pace the floor, and at times
appear melancholy. He seemed to be
trying to shut out something from his
vision. This has grown until Tuesday,
when he died, His deathbed was de-
scribed as most horrible. He never al
luded to what was troubling HIM,
and his secret vas buried with him.
His relatives entertain a thought that
he was connected with the murder of
Evans. The five principal actors in
the life's drama are dead to the world.
Can the negro girl be innocent?.

Feeding and Care of Swine.

None of our farm animals
more quickly to, or yields more profit
from good treatment, than swine; and,
in many localities, none are more neg
lected than these homely, but useful
animals. In the west, where hogs run
at large and follow the droves of feed
ing steers, their management after
they are weaned is very simple, but
where hogs are kept in yards or pens
and are expected to subsist mainly on
skinned milk, or the refuse from the
kitchen, more care is necessary and
their wants must be carefully attended
to, or they will not thrive as they
ought. The most important thing to
remember IN feeding hogs is, that
there is no such thing as "stock or
der;' the pig that is not so fed that it
gains in weight continually and rapid
ly, is not a profitable animal, and soon
eats more feed than it is worth. Many
farmers keep n pen of store hogs in low
condition through the winter, ut q dead
loss; the pigs do not grow, and yet
eat almost as much as the %fattening
hogs. Here, again, we come to the
food of support" The larger part
of the pigs food is needed to keep him
alive, and prevent him from going
backwards; and q very little more food,
judiciously applied, will usually make
all the difference between profit and
loss in keeping pigs.
The cheapest pork is that made from
pigs which have been fed all that they
would eat. If it does not pay to make
pork by liberal feeding, it does not pay
to make it at all, and it had better be
given up. The care of pigs should be-
gin as soon as they are born; some
times the sows are very savage and,
if not prevented, will eat the pigs as
soon as they appear. If the sow shows
this disposition she should be watched
and the pigs taken from her. When
her labor is finished, they should be
carefully put down beside her and she
will generally take up with them at
once. The pen for breeding-sows
should be roomy and warm, the floor
nearly level, SC that the weight of her
body will not settle down and crush
the pigs.-Stock-breeder IN american
Agriculur1a for March.
