One OF the most important matters for
beginners in poultry-keeping is to know
that good laying hen is not maket fowl.
A plump. fat hen will lay but very few
eggs, while a hen that lays regularly docs
not really b.: come IA. as she C n not pro-
duce eggs and carcass at the same time
Do not keep tae layiaZ heas aad fat hens
together.
Just ct this time, when there is a chance
to do so, all the implements should he
cleaned and oiled. The harness may need
overhauling, and loose spokes or tires Of
wheels can be repaired. In the spring tine
use OF tie implements will not permit Of
repairs without loss Of time.
Oil is fatal to every insect it touches,
and sulphur is very o1en.ivs to them. A
mixture AZ four ounces Of lard and one of
sulphur, well rubbed together. and with
the addition OF one ounce Of kerosene oil
and one dram Of creosote, will b. found an
excellent remedy against all sorts Of insect
vermin, while the liberal use Of kerosene

BARB-WIRE MONOPOLY.

Another Decision Against the RapaciOus
Ring FOreshadows Its Final Defeat
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Jan. 6.-About two weeks
ago the Washburn 4 Moen Manufacturing
Company, before Judge Shiras, Of the
United States district court, in this city,
brought suit against the Beat-'e all Barb
Wire Company, Of Waterloo, Ia. for in
fringement of a patent, issued in 1874 to
Joseph +. Glidden, in which Giidden
claimed as his invention the original barb
wire used in fences. The testimony con-
sisted of nearly wagonload OF evidence
in the form of printed briefs. The case
was closely contested TO sh, and Judge
Shiras has had it under consideration
for several days. To-day he rendered
his decision. He held that the
second wire twisted about the fence
strand for thu parpose of holding the
barb wire in place was an old device be-
ing clearly shown IN a patent issued to
Kelley in 1868, and that the mode of con-
structing the barb shown in the Glidden
combination had been brought into use by
Alvin Morley, of Delaware County, Iowa,
as early as 1889, consequently the patent
issued to Glidden was void for want of nov
city. Tuc decision Of Judge Shiras is vol
luminous. 1t embodies the first defeat
which the great Washburn-Moen monopoly,
which operates under Giidden patent, has
sustained. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed 10 the United States Supreme
Court, but the decision of Judge Shiras il
thought to foreshadow the final defeat and
overthrow Of this giant monopoly. which
has eXacted such fearful tribnte from the
farmers of the West so many years.

READING, Pa, Jan. There are some
forty furnaces located along the line OF the
Reading railroad and to-day after much
correspondence the Reading Coal Il Iron
Company supplied some Of the most needy
furnaces with coal, but at an advance Of 50
cents per ton, delivered at Schuylkill Ha-
ven. The rate for years was sa.2J, but to-
day it was advanced to g per ton. This
will result in an increased cost for pro-
duclng pig iron and may prevent Eastern
Pennsylvania manufacturers from com.
pc,ing with the furnaces where both coal
and labor are cheaper, or it may result in
closing down the furnaces. More dis
charges Of railroaders employed in the
coal carrying trade were made here to-day.
The total number discharged from Phila-
deiphia to Williamsport is estimated ut one
thousand.

FIRE At ATCHiSON.
The Union Depot and Hotel Destroyed
Loss, &l25OOO.


ATCuIsoN, Kan, Jan. Fire started
yesterday afternoon IN the woodwork in
the kitchen of the Union Depot and crept
up the lathwork to the mansard floor
where the hotel apartments were located.
Here it burned furiously, and although the
entire fire department was called out the
flames spread steadily and soon the entire
roof Of the building was roaring
blaze. Hundreds of men joined in the
work of salvation and managed to save
the depot fixtures, tickets, baggage and
express and mail matter and great
part Of the hotel furniture, but the entire
building was ruined except one corner
where the express Offices were located.
The walls are standing but so badly in
iured that they will have TO be taken down.
The building was used as the depot for all
the railroads centering in this city, with
ticket ami telegraph Offices, baggage, ex-
press and waiting rooms, while the upper
story was occupied as hotel under the
management of w. c. Johnston. All the
hotel and depot furniture excepting the
carpets was saved. The loss is about Sl25,-
00l, upon which there is an insurance of
SJo,OO0.

These classes apply to heavy articles,
such a, iron or. steel rails, cast

also made in the special commodity tariff
for bard coal which will take 10 cent rate
from st. Louis instead Of Is cent rate
and ID cent rate from Chicago instead of

his followers had q desperate fight yester.
day near the town of Cosala, Sinaloa. with
Mexican troops, during which the outlaw
leader was killed and his mother and three
or four followers captured. The bandits

was short but desperate. No further par

is supposed to be heavy.
Bernal was undoubtedly the most despe-
rate bandit that ever terrorized any part of
America. For years he held sway over
three or four of the northern States of
Mexico, but did not come into marked
prominence until about six months ago
when he commenced to boldly sack towns

by the Mexican Government for his

plv,nes DISAGREE.


A Discussion Net Decided b. Payer-In.
tolerance Of Oplnioa.
The following il an extract from . late
New York 1Fibxss editorial: There is,
perhaps, no mental vice 30 common - in
tolerance of opinion. Even such - think
they have emancipated themselves from the
clinging defect find it hard to acknowledge
frankly to themselves that the opinion Of
some one else upon . matter they have
studied may very well be as deserving Of
respect as their own, II it differs radically
from their own. II we could all get rid Of
this last infrmity,' not only Of noble
minds but Of nearly all human minds, how
much less friction there would be in life,
how much less bitterness and heart burn
ing and envy and all uncharitableness."
In an adjoining column of the same paper
was found the following peculiar commen-
tary on the editorial:
1.-THE bitterness Of the controversy in the
American Board over the question of proba-
ton after death was very great. This
rather shocked the simple minded and ear
nest foreig n missionaries who attended the
sessions Of the Board, one o. whom said he
had always thought such questions were
decided by prayer. But il the debate was
not altogether Christian in spirit, it was
strictly parliamentary. The brethren didn't
forget to put a copy of Cushings Manual in
their valiso along with their Bible, and ap-
parently some of them consulted it oftcner
than the Bible.'
Is it fact that there is but little tolera-
ton in this country, and less than in othersl
comparisons are Odorous," said Mrs.
Malaprop. Perhaps we have been claim
ing too much for this free nation.
We must admit that in the professions
there is yet much of the old-time prejudice
against new ideas. Preachers preach the
old doctrines and doctors prescribe the old
medicines Bitter controversies arise when
any thing new is proposed.
But The march Of progress is not stayed
Men are travelling heavenward under new
creeds and being cured by new medicines.
Much the same state Of facts seem to ex-
list in other countries.
When DIR. Robson, leading physician Of
London, formerly Of tho Royal Navy, pro-
claimed that Warmers safe cure was q
specific in kidney arrangements, the hide
bound school to which he belonged threat
ened to debar him from practice, if he did
not recant. But he replied that his state
ment was based on such evidence that he
could not recant.
Since then, DR.. Wilson, F. r. 8. E., editor
of 'Health," q recognized English authority,
announces in his magazine that "Warner's
safe cure is Of q perfectly safe character
and perfectly reliable.' Many English
physicians are now prescribing it.
The schools" in this country still bar all
proprietary medicines. But DR.. Gum,
Dean of New York Medical College, long
since published: "Warner's safe cure is q
very valuable remedy" and says he knows
that many physicians prescribe it, though
not by name.
Good things in creed or practice are not
to be cried down by the old fogies simply
because they are new. The spirit Of tolera-
ton thrives on opposition.
