The Divorce Business in Boston,

Justice Field of Boston, sitting in the
Supreme Court of that city Wednesday,
did bigger business in divorces than
probably was ever done before in any
courtroom. In all he disposed of 81
cases There were on the docket l5l un-
contested cases, of which three We're
heard, four were continued and Iii We're
dismissed for want Of prosecution. OF 90
contested cases 40 were dismissed and 10
were set down for further hearing, There
were 12l cases where Il decree disi had
previously been granted, but in which
the final decree absolute had not been
taken.Out. Many of these were dismissed,
stricken from the docket, to which they
San only be restored by motion show
ing special cause for their being again
heard. Some of the eases disposed OF
were very old.

BASEBALL SNIALLTALK.

Washington is not the only town where
fault is found with the ball nine. Read
the following from the Pittsburg Dispatch:
1.-THE management of the Pittsburg Club
contended all winter that the team would
be much stronger in batting this season
than last. This may prove true, but it is
about time for some of the players to hit
the ball. Coleman has played in five
championship games since the season
started, has been at the bat % times and
made two singles. Maui has played in
the same number of games, has been at
the bat % times, made three singles and
struck out six times. Sunday has played
in five games, been at the bat % times,
made two singles and double. This will
hardly do if the club expects to maintain
anything like a good showing in the
League race"
Although Arthur Whitney is not good
enough for Washington, yet it appears
that Detroit and Boston are very anxious
TO secure hnn. The Capital on Sunday
last printed a very powerful argument
why the management should not make
an effort TO secure Whitney. President
Sodon Of the Boston Club says: "The
public demand that we retain Radbourn,
and we have so decided. As for myself
would be willing to exchange him for
Arthur Whitney, as ] think we are well
fixed for pitchers
According TO the New York SIN, last
season the Washington Club offered
Short-stop White of the Louisvilles 81
500, and named a fair pnce to the club
for his release. White was paid 81 400 a
year, and was very anxious to be released,
hn s,ltn sol tNt fne IA
warded his contract calling for 81 600.
White asked for 81, 800, and promised not
to sign under that figure. He held out
until the very beginning of the season of
1887, and was then compelled to sign at
the salary named by the club. During
all of last season White was careless and
Iistless in his work, and seemed to be
anxious to get out OF the team. This year
lie got an advance of $780, and his playing
has been so miserable that many believe
Ie is openly working for his release.

~BONE-MEAL FOR POULTRY.



Many farmers think that the hens
may shift for themselves. If they do
well, all right; if they are found dead
or dying it is not much loss. For the
capital invested no stock on the farm
viii pay as well as the poultry we'll
cared for, One of the little things that
ought to be looked after to have the
poultry always in good trim is a sup
ply OF bone-meal. Poultry raisers
should not neglect to use sufficient raw
bone either crushed or in the form of
meal. 1t contains lime as do oyster
shells, but il contains animal matter
which is Of great value. Bone when
burnt is Of comparatively little value
over oyster shells, but when crushed
or ground raw supplies value peculiar
TO itself, All classes of poultry are ex-
tremely fond Of it. Care should be
taken to have it pure and sweet. 1t is
good for all classes and ages of poultry.
For young chicks it should be used in
the form OF meal, mixing a small
quantity two or three times a week
with their soft feed, say one quart to a
bushel of corn-meal.
In young turkeys it is almost impos-
slbIe to prevent leg weakness. About
the time of their shooting the red
when their health becomes established
and they grow apace, the development
OF their frames and legs require a
more liberal assimilation of material
than "a be afforded by the usual arti-
cles of food, 1t is well to begin TO
mix a little bone-meal with the feed
OF young turkeys and from the time
they are four weeks old it can be used
freely.
No injurious effects will follow, for
1t is nutritious and strengthens the
bones and legs. All raisers of YOUNG
turkeys know that leg weakness is
one OF the evils to which they are ex-
posed and this is Il natural preventive.
and here is one of the cases where
prevention is better than cure. Brah-
ma and other Asiatic chicks for the
same reason are greatly benefited by
It's use'-Ohto Poultry Journal.
