DARK VS.. YELLOW LEGS.

The Farmers Magazine says: Just
how the American people came to prefer
the breeds with yellow legs is not known,
but that they reject the best table fowls
and select the inferior, by Judging from
the legs and color of skin only, is fact.
They do not reject the turkey, however,
which has dark legs, yet they pass the
Langshan chickens by, and that, too,
when the Langshan is the only fowl that
has the same color of legs and skin as
to the turkey in other respects than any
of the yellow-legged breed, known.
In England no attention is given the col
or of legs and skin, but if there is any pre-
white legs. BY breeding for quality. in
stead of color, the English produced the
DOlling, which is one of the best table
fowls known, possessing plenty of breas t
meat. with but very little otial. In
France the Houdan is considered a grand
table bird. along with the Crevecoeurs
and La Flcche,. but these breeds have
/ dark legs and are not appreciated in this
country. The French. like the English
depend upon quality of flesh and full
breasted carcass, while we in Amerca
base our Judgment entirely upon the
color of the legs of the fowl, whether it
be goose, duck or chicken, the turkey a.
lone being excepted.
Owing to this prejudice, many poultry
men do not breed the best quality Of
poultry. but aim only to secure good
yellow legs and skin. while the buyers
are in blisSful ignorace of the self-denial
they lnfict upon themselves by first re-
fusing the better quality. and then pay
inc a higher price for the inferior goods.
The Brahmas and Cochins, when dressed,
have golden yellow legs and skin, and
appear seemingly fat when not even III
good condition. but they are very de-
ticient in breast meat, their small wings
not requiring much muscle for flight
yet they are slected in preference to the
full-breasted Dorking, the juicy Game
and the compact Houdan. to say nothing

COAL ASHES FOR FRUIT TREES.

There can be no doubt that coal ashes
spread under fruit trees are often very
helpful, and as they show little or no ma
nurial value, there is often difficulty in
explaining their good effects. One way
they help is to make mulch. Coal ashes
are light, and the fact that they have
not much manurial value makes them all
the better for keeping down grass. which
depletes the soil of the moisture that the
trees need. Three or four inches depth
of coal ashes spread under trees keep the
soil beneath moist and cool. If they are
spread on sod they kill the grass, and
this with the decaying sod roots makes a
fine feeding-place for the roots of the
tree. 1t is probable, also. that under
this mulch the soil itself undergoes
important chemical changes, fitting its
manurial elements for absorption by
roots Boston Cutivator.

Polk street depot, having boarded a train
at small station near indianapolis about
10 o'clock Saturday night. He was nc
companied by Johnny Murphy, his bottle
holder at the recent fight with Sullivan.
Not friendly face was visible at the de-
pot when they arrived, and the rain poured
down in torrents as they looked about
them for carriage. They had separated
from Charlie Mitchell "a hours before with
the understanding they would meet him

on Clark street, but found it closed. They
then repaired to his residence, PA Huron

of how he had saved 81 600 by not betting

that the party was "broke. +" He said he

TRYING LIMA OIL.

For several months past the supply OF
gas furnished the manufacturing establish
ments on the Ohio side by the Wheeling
Natural Gas Company, has been very me-
gre and unsatisfactory. Before the intro
duction of gas, nearly all the glass fac
tories had coal gas producers, in connection
with their furnaces, and used coke in the
lobes, and benzine in the gloria holes. All
these were superseded by gag, and for a
time everything went we'll. After while,
however, the gas supply would fail for a
day at time, and caused 20 end Of an
noyance to the factories. More recently
the company has furnished hardly enough
fuel to keep up the fires, and the manufsc-
turers have been forced to 90 back to the
more primitive fuel. A few weeks since
the gas gave out at the Crystal Glass
Works and they cmmenced firing
their furnaces with slack coal as in times
gone by, and adopted Lima Oil for
fuel in the lobes and gloria holes. Satur-
day, gentleman named Cole placed on
exhibition at the National Glass Works OF
Doedefer Bros, at Bellsire, new burner
for the use Of Lima oil. The burner was
placed in lobe and gave entire satisfac.
tion. The use of Lima oil in lobes and
gloria holes has been demonstrated to be
an entire success and now it is proposed to
try it in the melting furnaces. Quite a
number of glass men were present at the
test yesterday and all are satisfied with the
result.
