Money Made Keeping Hens.

Hundreds of farmers who never kept an
account, would kill every ''pesky hen" on
the farm, If it was not for the "women
folks" The women inruitively know that
The hens do not ''eat their heads off every
six months" but properly kept pay better
than any other farm animals.
This is true. A record, simple to keep, so
1t would be used and show the facts in de-
tail, would prove that every henIpaid pro-
fit. They could be made to pay, from one to
three dollars each. Mr.. James l.. Burgess,
Nashua, n. H.. reported to the Nashua Tel
egraph," that his wife made a clean net pro-
fit last year, Of $3.50 for eggs alone, from
only sixteen hens. He thinks her success
was largely due. to using Sheridan's Condi-
ton Powder, much advertised preparation
to make hens lay.
Doyour hens pay like that? Do you want
to learn how to make them pay better? Are
you in delicate health, and want to COM
mence poultry raising, for the sake Of open
air employment? II so. get some reliable
advice how to do 1t. An enlarged, and much
improved Poultry Raising Guide has Just
been printed. 1t contains practical informa-
tion and many new features, which every
person who keeps hens should have; such as
records and accounts for each month Of the
year. 1t also contains long series of very
valuable articles, by A. +. Hunter, show to
make money with a few hens" OF him the
Lowell Mass Journal says; ''the most sensi-
Bile poultry literature we have read, we find
under the name A. +. Hunter. He evidently
knows what he is talking about" These
two features alone, are worth ten times the

me Burglar Moore Attempts to
Break jail.

yesterday afternoon about O'Clock, while
al tne prisoners at the jail, except tour,were
In tne chapel taking part in the church SER
vices, moore, the burglar-who received a
twenty-five years sentence on Saturday last
managed In some way to pick the lock in
his cell-he being one Of the four who were
not at chapel-and got into the corridor
From thence he made his way quickly to the
upper corridor. There he wrenched AN iron
leg from sink, seized long plank that il
used to reach to the upper sashes OF the win
dows when 1t is deemed desirable 10 omen
them, and by means Of this plank mounted
up so as 10 reach the ceiling that leads to the
attic. Here he dug away at the plastering
with the iron leg, and succeeded in breaking
away the plastering and lathing and making
a large hole. but suddenly found his further
progress stopped by heavy, solid wooden
flooring. against which he could make no i'm
preston.
Finding that his scheme was foiled. he re-
turned to his cell and closed the door, but
could not lock it. When the chapel service
was through. the officers, going to the upper
corridor, saw what had been done. They
suspected Moore had been at work, and pro-
ceeding to his cell found it unlocked. How
he picked the lock Is a mystery, for he had
no key or tool Of any kind about him. nor
could any be found. Moore stoutly denied
that he had been out Of his cell, or that he
knew anything about the condition Of things
In the upper corridor
