New YORK, September 22.-The stock marke
was quiet and rather weak. Foreign buying
orders were scarce and local traders were in
clined to sell. News from the West that new

with the employees on the Burlington road hao
weakening effect.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
Petroleum opened firm at 90, one-eighth

Hens and the Garden.

1t is very annoying to have a gar
den destroyed by hens, and it is more
SO when we reflect that it is entirely
unnecessary. The secret of prevent
ing it is, first, to treat your hens as
though they were domestic animals,
and not wild ones; give them a house
and home, and train them to know
that it is their home. Don't keep
your chicken coops in the door yard
and then scold about the hens being
always around the door. Don't COM
pei them to roost in trees, and after
wards complain about their befouling
the fruit. If you have no hen house,
don't grumble because the hens roost
in the wagon shed. If you compel
your hens to live upon bugs and worms
and chase grasshoppers, you must ex-
pect they will scratch. If you would
not have your hens mischievous, feed
them; feed them as regularly as you
would, or should, your pigs or horses,
and keep them in good order and con
dition, so you can have a nice healthy,
chicken to eat whenever you like.
Kill off the hens before they become
useless and acquire mischievous habits.
This is the way to avoid hen mischief.
This is the season to commence
fighting lice. A pound of powdered
sulphur and a half ounce of carbolic
acid thoroughly stirred together is a
good and cheap remedy; sprinkle or
rub it at night through the feathers of
the fowls once a week until rid of lice.
Whitewash the inside and outside of
the poultry house with ordinary white
wash, first stirring into it a pint of
carbolic acid, and give the fowls a
plenty OF dry dust to wallow in.
.rgL One Egg a Week.
If hen only lays one egg a week
on an average for a year, it will pay
for her food, and every additional egg
is clear profit. If a hen lays three
eggs a week, she will double the profit
derived from a hen that lays two eggs.
The greater the number of eggs, the
cheaper the cost of production in pro
portion. ..a 2 >
, aspo IL Our Mistakes.
1t is q mistake to keep too many
breeds of fowls when your grounds
are limited.
It is a mistake to set your hens
w~ithnyour laying fowls. - ana
It isa mistake to keep more than
one cock with ten hens:

,-.aI For THE Progressive FARMER.
THE DOG lts.

II In reading, your excellent paper,
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, OF the 10th
inst, I noticed an article contributed
by Mrs. F. S. Hogan, complaining OF
the dog nuisance. I can deeply sym
pathize with her, having had like
trouble with the useless ours, and
would respectfully submit my plan of
determination, which is simple, effi-
Gent and easy; the plan is this: Pune
ture an egg, insert a little strychnlne
"a lump size Of a pea, or what will
lie on the point of a pen-knife, seal it
over with a bit of wheat-dough to pre-
vent it's wasting out and lay in the
lest broken up the night before. There
will likely be a dead dog in the neigh
borhood next morning. Repeat as
often as occasion requires and the
trouble with dogs will soon be over
She need not be particular to tell what
has been done, but if it is found out,
nobody can make a "fuss y, over a
dogs killing himself eating eggs. She
must, however, be very careful, as
every one knows strychnine is a very
dangerous poison. '"'' ,-.."
The Alliance in our section is
fourishing. W. started in the "teens'
and now number IS. Some of the
very best and most successful farmers
are in the front rank. Men of bust
hess and "push are at the helm.
We live in a beautiful, healthful
and fertile country (southern part of
cole" Richmond) and I think n of
the greatest drawbacks to our success
is the credit system of buying farm
supplies. But farmers are waking up
to their duties and privileges-begin-
ming to study and plan for themselves,
and | imagine the time is at hand
when we must take u affairs in our
own hands and rid ourselves of the
yoke of those who would Cypress us.
The Alliance has done and is doing
good in our community, and Idon't
think [ would be very far wrong in
predicting that it is a real God send

For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
GIVE US BETTER ROADS. (
The Present System of Working the
Public Roads in N. c. a Fail-tra~
s.1 80 ure and an Injustice.

There is no subject of greater i'm
portance to the farmer, and none upon
which he should be more deeply in
terested, than that Of public. roads.
That the present system of keeping up
the roads in u State is an egregious
failure and .aigross injustice, is a fact
that cannot be successfully refuted. If
it be true, as some maintain, that a
good condition of the public high
ways of a country is AN index to the
progress and civilization of the peo-
pie, then, indeed, it can truthfully be
said that North Carolina has made but
little progressin advanced civilization.
The almost impossible condition of
our roads during the winter inficts
upon the farmer one Of his greatest
hardships.
{ Nov, the sdrest way to accomplish
a desired reform is by constant agita-
ton. s,s II
1t is my purpose in this article to
call attention to and briefly discuss the
lrregularity, and injustice of the sys-
temiofworking public roads in North
Carolina. If there is anything that [
believe in, implicitly, it is that the
burdens of government should be
equally borne by all citizens. That
such is not true in the way in which
we work roads, does mo- admit of a
doubt. There is no justice in a sys-
tem that taxes a man that has nothing,
as much~as it does one who is worth
thousands, especially when the man
OF means is the only one that will be
benefited by it. Again, this system
operates unjustly in another respect;
for example,: there is a section of
road that requires but little labor
to- be kept in reasonable condition,
and yet there9are on it a large number
of hands, while there is. another Sec
ton, adjoining itM7as is frequently the
case-that is exceedingly difficult to
keep up, and has but few hands. -
'Ie But theL irjusticeOof the system is
not the only thing that merits CON
s~ideration- IF it secured good roads,
1t might be submitted to with some
degree of liberation. A system de-
serves contempt and Republication that
