LincoIn's MercifuI Nature.

Mr.. Lincoln was by nature singular
ly merciful. The ease with which he
could be reached by persons who
might profit by his clemency gave
rise to many notable scenes in the
White house during the war. Up
wards of twenty deserters were SEN
fenced at one time TO be shot. The
warrants for their execution were
sent to Mr. Lincoln for his approval
He refused to to sign them. The com
manding general to whose corps the
condemned men belonged was indig-
nant. He hurried to Washington.
Mr.. Lincoln had listened to moving
petitions for mercy from humane per
sons who like himself, were shocked
at the idea of the cold blooded eXecu-
ton of more than score of misguided
men. His resolution was fixed, but
his rule was to see every man who
had business with him.
The irate commander was admitted
into Mr.. Llncolus private ONCE.
With soldierly bluntness he told the
president that mercy to the few was
cruelty to the many; that executive
clemency in such a case would be a
military discipline, and that unless
the condemned men were made ex-
amples of the army itself would be in
danger. General, said Mr.. Lincoln,
there are too many weeping widows
in the United States now. For Gods
sake. don't ask he to add TO the num-
Der, for, tell you plainly, won't do
it,
He believed that kind words were
better for the poor fellows than cold
lead, and the sequel showed that he
was right.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

FARM NOTEs.-Have the turkeys

1t it said that by forcing salt into
the holes made by borers the borers
will be destroyed.
The water trough needs thorough
scrubbing and scalding occasionly, or
it will soon be coated with slime.
1t is better to feed a COW every
ounce of food she has the abilityito take
care of than to try to gain profit by
saving feed.
Too much grain is more detrimental
TO breeding stock than not enough.
The food should be bulky, with a
small allowance of grain.
Major Alvord condemns dehorning
in toto. He says in the Boston Guilt
vator that it is cruel, and argues that
it does not render cattle less pugna-
cious.
No animal is so hardy as to require
no attention. The more an animal is
exposed the less it will produce, either
Of pork, wool, mutton, beef or milk.
Animals are subject to habits. A
cow that is fed at a certain hour will
always come up from the pasture to
be MIXED without the necessary Of
sending for her.
The pekin duck can be kept in yards
without ponds of water, but it should
have trough TO battle in, while the
food should consist mostly Of grass or

If the roots of the trees are frozen

poultry CHATS. Build roosts low,
especially for large fowls. Clean the
droppings from under the roosts at
least once a week.
Early Matched chickens sell best
and early Matched pullets lay best,
therefore get your broods off soon as
possible.
A cure for frosted or frozen combs
and wattles is equal parts turpentine
and sweet oil, applied twice daily,
soon as discovered. Glycerine is also
good.
Derk nests are the best preventative
for hens that eat their eggs. Gener
ally this habit comes about among
those that have TO lay in high place.
This is a simple remedy and worth
trying.
SKINNED milk is a valuable and
economical food for laying. In fact,
milk in any form will produce a won
derful increase in the number OF eggs
layed, also in the growth Of young
stock.
Turkeys fatten best when fed three
times a day, allowing them all the
corn they can eat. If penned in
coops they become disconnected, and
will not thrive or fatten, no matter
how much feed they may receive.
Eggs will keep in dry cool place
for months if packed in common salt.
Have a layer of salt between each
layer of eggs. When the box is filled
tack on the cover, and turn the box
bottom side upwards once a week.

One fourth ofthis fat and three-fourths

All sorts Of vessels and untensils
