skim MIX and Corn for Poultry.

Hens are seldom fed properly.
The result is but few eggs, especially
during the winter season. Corn is
handy and cheap food, but If fed
to excess, the poultry viii fatten,
but not lay. Skim milk and corn
make complete food, and it well pays
to give this extra food, to have an
abundance of fresh eggs when want

a small yard, and who gets more en-
joyment and profit out of her twenty
hens than many farmers with hun
dred or more. She gets the sour
milk from the diaries near her for a
few cents per gallon, warns it, and
adds stale bread from the baker, and
gives mess of this once each day,
with a liberal allowance of shelled
corn. Chopped onions and cabbage
are largely fed, as the hens have but
a small yard to run it. Grass would
be better. Milk would pay to feed
to poultry, especially near a good
market far more than fed to pigs, as
the income would be continually
from the former, whereas the cash
from the pigs is when he is made
into cured meat.

In the opinion of the New York
Observer sit will not need many more
cases like that of the Cronin murder
case to convince the public that
there must be some radical changes
made in our jury system. The time
has come when it ought to be impos-
sible to challenge the right of any
intelligent man to sit upon the jury.
An honest and intelligent man could
hear evidence and decide justly, in
spite of any possible prejudice that
ne may have conceived in reading
newspaper reports of the crime. As
conducted at present, there is no
greater farce than many Of our jury
trials. They certainly favor the
criminals and not the cause of JUS
tice."
