strangers to look at Valley Lands, we would
state that we are and have been for some time
in communication with Mr.. NJ. V. Richards

the Valley for lands will be sent by him to us.

throughous Ohio and Indiana in advance OF the
excursiont arranged by the B. q o. for the
benetto of land prospectors and emigrants from
those States.

gotiation with Mr.. Richards in regard to the
distribution of circulars and advertising mat
ter throughout Michigan, Minnesota, W1scon-
sin and Iowa. and the arrangement of similar
excursions from those states to this Valley and
arranged. We are very much in hopes OF hav-
ing great many land prospectors through this
county in the next few months. Whilst We
have many farms on our books for sale, still We
would like to have few more bargains to offer ,
and any one wishing to sell, who will put his

parties. 1t is only when a sale is made that we

the price asked therefor the things to be

A Large Poultry Farm.

The largest poultry farm in the world
Is that of A. G. Hawkins, Lancaster,
Mass. He winters each year 1000
fowls, half of them being pure-bred
Plymouth Rocks. His sales last year
for pure bred chicks and eggs amounted
to $4,000. This season he expects to
raise 5000 chicks. These are all hatch
ed by the ''old hen." Twelve chicks
are given to each hen and are placed in
small coops about the farm. When the
chicks are five weeks old the hens are
returned to the laying pens The chicks
are put in colonies Of IS or 40 and are
provided with movable coops for
shelter, and are allowed to roam at will
till large en- ough for market. All that
lack good points as stock or show birds
arc sold for broilers. Mr.. Hawkin,
feeds his chicks for the first few weeks
| Of their lives q mixture of cornmea,
oatmeal and middlings, equal parts,
boiled in milk.
HIS hen houses are all twelve feet
wide; taken together they are 5000 feet
long; each compartment is twelve by
twenty feet, in this thirty hens arc
kept during the winter. Mr.. Hawkins
says his hens each lay on an average
1870 eggs in year.
Beside the hens MI. Hawkins has
he keeps seventy.five Pekin duck, and

Snakes FascInate q Cow.

Farmer Amos Rathbone OF Covingt on
township Penn, few months ago, mo-
ticed that ono Of his best COWS was CIV
ing only ono half as much milk as she
ha, been In the habit Of yielding, and
no wondered at it. A week later sho
gave still less, and thcn hc placed hcr
In little grass plat by herself, where
tho feed was just about as flush as 1t
was In the field where the other cattle
ran. Her flow OF milk began to increase
right away, and In three days she gave
rs mitch as she had before. Tho COW
was uneasy oil tho time, and Farmer
Rathbone supposed that 1t was because
she was separated from tho rest OF the
cattle. So then he turned hcr into the
lot with the othor cows, and that night
there was very porceptible decrease in
her quantity Of milk again. Ga the
following morning she yielded only
about as much as shc had before no put
her in tho lot by herself, and no again
took her out Of tho herd. Her flow Of
milk was all right in day or two, but
she lowed and beloved and made such
q fuss loag before sunrise each morning
and again in the middle Of tho after
noon that her noise annoyed everybody
on the farm, and Farmer Rathbonc
again let her run with the rest of the
herd.
Right away after that her quantity Of
milk grew smaller, and the farmer be-
came so mystified over it that no hardly
knew what to do with tho COW. HI
disliked to take her out of tho herd on
account Of her noise and apparent lone.
liness when sho was kept from the othcl
cows, and, as he had noticed that sht
remained good deal of the timc dowr
near corner of tho pasture away from
the other cattle and seemed to DO con.
tented while she was there, no set one
of tho boys to watch her In meadow
just over tho fence from where SIN
grazed the most there was stone heap
and the first day the boy watched hi
saw two snakes crawl out of tho heal
and suck the cows teats, the animal ap
pearing to like it very much. The DO.
killed the snakes, and tho next day tive
more undertook to suck the COW, aue
he killed them, too.

Keep the Arms Moving.

Walking on an even surface, tho only
variety Of physical exercise which most
business and professional men get in
town, is well known to be a poor sub
stitute for arm exertion. The reason is
partially plain, since walking is almost
automatic and involuntary. The walk
ing mechanism is set in motion as we
would turn an hour glass, and requires
little attention, much less volition and
separate discharges Of forcc from tho
brain surface with each muscular con-
traction, as is the case with the great
majority of arm movements. Tho arm
user is q higher animal than tho leg
user. A mans lower limbs merely car
~ his higher centres to his food or
work. The latter must be executed
with his arms and hands. Popular

EIGHT NEGROES WERE KILLED.
Result Of . War of Races In New
Iberia, La.

6osult OF . War OF Races In New
Iberia, La.
The particulars are being received Of
fight in New Iberia, La, in which one white
man and several negroes were killed. Trouble
had been brewing for some days, growing
out Of an attempt of the better element in
New Iberia and neighboring parishes to
drive out class of idle and Immoral char
acters Many Of these people found refuge in
Freetown, small village composed of ne
groes, and began arming. Finally their
number grew to over 600 mounted men and
they became threatening. A party of white
citizens living in the vicinity was formed to
disperse and disarm the negroes They had
little trouble with most Of the Freetown men,
but about 10 of the negroes intrenched them
selves In house and began firing on the
regulators. The shooting became general,
and was kept up for y hours. E. P. Smith,
leading white citizen, was killed, while
trying to break down the door Of the house.
At this stage of the fight the negroes became
Panic-stricken, and attempted to flee the
house: The deadly work was soon brought
to . close. When the fight was over the
bodies Of eight negroes were found in the
house and five others were found outside. 1t
Is reported that three or four more were
killed. 1t is thought by some that few
made their escape, but others who were at
the scene DENY fhia
