A llvely correspondent of the
Poultry World has this to say about
tie chicken business:
among the now considered small
interests of the South is that Of
poultry. A chicken MN III the
South is laughed at by his neigh
borS, and considered as ether
drunk or a fool. A chicken man
in the North and West is q lord.
The man in the South who pays five
dollars for Plymouth Rock rooster
is ready for tn, lunttic asylum
while the fanciers of the North and
the West think no more of giving
fifty to sixty dollars for a chicken
than 'Georgia Cracker thinks of
drinking u quart of sweet milk q
day. Men all over the North and
West are daily coming money
raising chickens, yes raising chic
kens-'a little business. During my
travels in Massachusetts and In
diana last summer | sat down to
mea;, with at least three chicken
IDen' who amassed. fortunes by rais-
ing poultry, both for fancy and for
market.
Zone young man Of twenty nine
has sold during March, April and
May $4,000 worth Of eggs and
chickens, and in June had more or
dels than he could fill, A man Of
thirty three in Indiana worked ele-
ven years ago as a day laborer on
u farm to buy his first pair of
chickens, and to-day he owns a
farm and is worth $4,000, all
from little chicken business Now.
these two men are only fair samples
Of hundreds of chicken men all
over snterprlsing 'Yank eedom,
where they have six months of snow
and ice, and are compelled to build
winter quarters for their chicks,
VIII lie in our sunny land hardly a
day dawns that we cannot turn cur
birds upon a green pasture of oats,
rye, barley or wheat. We have the
grandeSt country on earth fer poul-
try, as it is for anything else, and
yet our folks are sitting down, idlins
away time, with gold fields in
view"

NOTES AND COMMENTS

The case of Leo McManus VS.
the Board of Aid and several per-
sons in Morgan and Scott Co.: came
up for hearing before the Hon
Judge Baxter at Knoxville ON Tues
day last,
This suit has caused considerable
excitement in this neiShborhood and
along the c. S. r. r., from Helen
wood to Lancing. 1t was commence
ed by the above named party, who
halls from Texas, and who claimed
the land by virtue Of a grant, which
his father, Thomas McManus, held,
covering several thousand acres Of
land in this county.
As it was an action of ejectment,
the defendants had the right to
introduce other titles than thelI
own covering the same land. So they
introduced the titles of the Board
of Aid, embracing the whole of the
McManus claim. Judge Baxter
promptly decided that the East
land and Lane titles (Which the
Board of Aid hold under) were su-
perior to the title of Leo McManus,
and instructed the Jury to return a
verdict for the defendants.
This decision is a most impor-
tant one for the Board of Aid; for
it not only settles their title as
against McManus, but against
Fielder as well. This is the same
land and the same title that Fielder
also sets claim 10, ana upon WHICH
lie has been hara ssing the Board
of Aid for nearly five years, but
his claim is now practically dlspos-
ed of for ever.
Judge Ingersoll, of Knoxville, re-
presented Leo McManus, Messrs.
Washburn G. Templeton represented
the Board of Aid, and Mr.. S. e.
Young, Of Sweetwatcr, and Judge
J. G. Parker, of fleetwood, Tenn,
represented the other defendants. 1t
has been quite victory.

We present to our readers at
this time, and hope to continue from
week to week, a few useful and
practical hints to those who are now
preparing their gardens for the
coming season, and who are antici-
pating the pleasure, as we'll as the
profit, TO be derived even from the
smallest plot cultivated.
Those, whose gardens have a
southerly or south westerly aspect,
have the greatest advantage in the
rapid growth of their plants and in
their being the soonest ready for
the table If the garden is much
exposed to the north or northwest,
it is very essential to have some pro-

Inc Iull grown morse possesses
twenty four back teeth-that is six
in each side of each jaw; these are
called molars or grinders He has
twelve front teeth that is, six IN
each jaw. Mares have no tushes.
The foal has either al its birth or
shorty afte, ward eight milk teeth ,
that is, four in each jaw; at about
twelve months Two more milk teeth
come in each jaw. These remain un-
changed until he is three years old.
TIE mouth Of the yearIlng and two
years old can not be cOnfounded.
The yearling mouth shows no sign
of use, and the co,aer teeth are
shells only; al Two years old these
teeth are strorg and we'll grown,
and ,he corner teeth flleu up. A
little before three years old the two
center teeth are replaced by per-
manent teeth. A little before four
the two teeth on each side of the
center teeth are replaced by perma-
nent ones. A little before five The
two remaining teeth are shed, and
in their place come permanent ones.
The upper milk teeth usually fall
out first.
Thus the mouth is complete as 10
its front teeth; the corner tooth,
however, is but imperfectly develop
ed, being at present q shell only;
this shell at six years old has FILLED
up, and is complete tooth. This is
the difference between five and a
six year old. The tushes appear be-
tween three and a half years and
four years old, and they take near
/ y two years to arrive at their full
growth. These teeth, as the horse
grows Older, get blunter and short
er, and SO 10 an experienced Judge
are a sure indication of age. Up to
SIX years old the mouth is in a dis
tinct and periodical state of struc-
tural change. There is no difficulty
III determining the age up TO that
date. After that the aye must be
Judged by The shape Ct the mouth
ard The appearance of the teeth
called the mark. At six years of
age the cups leave two center teeth
above, at seven the next two above,
and at eight the outer or corner
teeth above.
At nine The two center teeth be-
low lose the cups, at ten the next
two below, and at eleven the outer
or corner teeth below After a little
practice the close observer can
scarcely make mistake. The chan
ges that occur are the same in all
horses, or nearly so,-The Sport
