This is an average of seven eggs a day
during an extremely cold winter. How
was it donel Well, those hens were
simply cared for in the proper way. Just
the way you should care for your feather
cd stock. They were confined in IA house
l2Xl6 feet. The house was made of ship
lap ana he inside covered with tar paper.
lWo Windows were on the south side.
These lei in the sun and there in the
warm rays those hens frolickcd in The
dust bath just as they did in the summer.
Near by was the hens cupboard. Here
they found a supply of gravel, line,
charcoal and granulated bone. Upon the
floor dry straw was scattered. Now az
to feed. Every morning they were fed "a
mess Of hot stuff, corn meal and bran
cooked. Ia this was pat the table scraps
ami it was all well seasoned with p ppc:.
All the po.ato peelings were boiled and
fed. At noon, or aDout 1880 q. M,
wheat was thrown among the straw. The
hens were now hungry AMI they worked
bard to find the wheat. Merrily did they
work all day. Night CONES and they are
given whole corn. Then a change to oats
Is made, then to wheat and then back to
corn. They are supplied with fresh
water regularly. Once in a while II little
sulphur vas mixed in the morning feed.
This is a grand record and shows what
the hens will do when fed properly and
well cared for.-Western Farmer and
~Stockman.

Ing In Popular Favor.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Feb. 9.-The annual report of
State Superintendent of Schools n. A. Luce
will be isned in about ten days, and among
other interesting matters which it will con-
tain, will be several of the papers read
the recent meeting of the Maine Pedagogical
Society in this city.
Returns have been received from 10S free
high schools where there were fall terms and
the system seems to be growing in favor. An
encouraging feature is that, while at one Pc
riod there was nearly third of these schools
supported by contributions from citizens,
that number has decreased until now the
towns furnish the funds for nearly all of
them. One free high school is reported from
a plantation-Dyer Brook. The average
number of students to school is about 60,
The town system, so called, is obtaining a
strong hold, and at the present time there
are 100 towns and cities in the State which
have adopted it. There was an increase Of
10 last year and it is expected that it will be
accepted in many places at the coming
"March meetings"
The three Normal Schools Of the State are
in a flourishing condition and the aggregate
attendance is larger than ever before, now
numbering some 300 pupils The school at
Pennington is especially prosperous, the at
tendance numbering 1G0 The new building
was completed last fall and is filling a want
which was seriously felt.
The Madawaska Training School is now
permanently located at Fort Kent, and the
new wooden school building for which the
State appropriated $1,000 is up and boarded.
Some of the school officers of the towns in
reporting to the Superintendent's office have
made blunders in the past by which they lost
portion of their school money. They have
been in the habit of going to the Legislature
and having their errors corrected and receiv-
ing their money, which they lost by careless
ness An effort is to be made in the next
Legislature to stop this practice. The cost
of operating the schools of the State last
year was about 81, 100000.
The number of children between the ages
of and II years has decreased 200 since last
year, but, on the other hand, the attendance
has increased considerably. There is gen.
eral improvement noted in the schools.

THE HOME MARKET.
How Good Prices and Prosperity
Follow Protection.

TCol. A. S. Colyar. of Tennessee, before the Home
Market Clubl
So distinguished man as John T. Morgan,
senator from Alabama, said he did not want
to see any manufacturing industries built up
in Alabama because it would advance the
price of farm labor. But in reality the war
is ON our industries, and upon every man
who is connected with them. Great as has
been the struggle and the risk, SO far as
money is concerned, by men who embarked
in these new enterprises, which could not be
done without stock companies and combina-
ton of capital, that has not saved them in
the least degree from the constant charge of
monopoly. We do not expect, as a general
thing, the older politicians, to give way to
this great material question, but as a rule our
young men are coming to realize how impor-
tant it is to diversity our industries. Take
city like Nashville or Memphis, or Atlanta or
Columbus, the business men and people of
all classes have come to realize that there is
but one chance of recovery in the South, and
that is to diversity our industries and build
up manufacturing.
We have recently found that there is anew
Richmend in the field making war upon
manufacturing industries, and this astonlsh-
es us more than to find some OF our leading
politicians opposing us. we nnu 10 our dS-
constituent, that recently, from some cause
or Other, there is springing up in New Eng
land and in the city of New York a free
trade sentiment that is as surprising to us as
it is threatening to our business. We read
the other day that the free traders held a
meeting in this city, inviting friend of
mine from Kentucky here to teach them free
trade doctrine. This certainly was rare
spectacle New England free trade crowd
together calling upon southern man to
come up here and teach them the ways OF
free trade
BY the tariff act of March 3, 1857. duties on
imports were placed at the lowest rate for
many years; in fact, the duties were so low
that it was considered by one of the political
parties of this country that the time had ar
rived to declare for free trade, having. so
nearly approached it. This act continued in
force up to March 2, 1861. and comparison
therefore. of this period of comparative free
trade with the present under a protective
tariff. as to the effect upon the farmers Of the
country and the products, or, in other words
what they got for what they sold, and what
they paid for what they bought, may shed
some light upon the subject, and therefore
invite attention to the following table, as
showing the difference in the prices of arti-
cles used by farmers and used by them in the
South before the war and within the past
wear:

These articles, constituting the great bulk
of the commodities used by farmers, show
an average reduction between the prices un-
der a low tariff Of 1857 to 1861, with the prices
of 1887 under protective tariff of nearly 90
per cent, or what cost the farmer in 1857 to
1861 $40. now costs only $3.50.
Now let us ascertain to what extent the
labor of the farmer or the products of the
farm have been affected by the great decline
in the values of nearly all the articles used
by the farmer and whether the farmer has
been compelled to lower the prices of his
labor, in keeping with all the articles or i'm
plements made by labor in the manufactures
and used by him in his farming operations
