FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

The Sections Of the Socialist Labor
Party, at a meeting held last Monday
evening adopted the following circular,
which was distributed to the voters:
"1o the Voters Of Ne,r Haren
"The Sections of this city have de-
cided at the last hour to define their po-
sition in regard to the school election to
take place on Tuesday the 10th inst,
and upon the subject of free school
books in the following resolutions, and
request every voter of liberal views to
cast his vote accordingly:
"'UheredS, 1t is especially difficult
for the families of the working class to
pay for the necessary schoolbooks for
their children; and
"'WheredS, Those who oppose free
school books" accentuate the argument
that it is socialistic arrangement;
and
Whereas, Their further arguments
alleging misuse of the books and the
spread of contagious diseases are void;
Resolved, That as we are not at
this late day in position to nominate
our own candidates, we shall support
those who are in favor of free school
books and under all circumstances use
their influence to effect the necessary
education of the children to the end
that liberal-minded citizens may be
brought up.

THE CHINESE DANGER.

Willard B. Farwell, in the Forum
about year ago, published a strong ar
gument against Chinese immigration, in
which he summed up the evils expe-
rienced on the Pacific coast from Mon
golians, with which most of cur readers
are familiar. In closing his article, the
writer said:
If such is the outcome of Chinese
immigration, why should it longer be
tolerated? That such is the fact, such
the true picture of its effects in Califor-
MIA, cannot be successfully disputed.
The wild rawlings from the Sand Lot
have done much to befog and prejudice
the question, W seeking TO arouse the
passion of men against the Chinese,

Poultry Notes.

Don't be too hasty in buying new vari-
cites There are many old, reliable breeds
far superior to some of the new ones.
Charcoal is excellent to give fowls while
i'll moult, and in fact at any time, as it
promotes health and helps to fill the egg
basket.
Don'U neglect to clean out the poultry
coops regularly and compost the same,
to be used for fertilizers. 1t is far supe-
rior to commercial fertilizer, and will last
in the soil much longer.
Why can we not have poultry show in
this State the coming winter? 1t would
do much towards awakening the poultry
interest here, in this land SO admirably
adapted to raising poultry.
If you have some nice early pullets com
mence 20 feed them well and get them to
laying. as eggs will be high priced soon.
Get them we'll started, and they will lay
nicely all winter, with proper care.
1t is best to keep cockerels and pullets
in separate focks; it is much the besG

All people who breed poultry, whether
for pleasure or profit, should subscribe for
the Southern Fancier, published at Allan
ia, Ga. 1t is decidedly the best poultry
journal in the South, and no poultryman
should be without it. (This is not all ADJ
Eggs should be set in September and
October, to get out broiers for the big
hotels the coming winter. The prospects
are that there will be more visitors in
Florida this winter than ever before, and
there will be good demand for all such
articles at good prices.
A great deal is being said about grape
culture in Florida lately. There is no bet
ter place for grapes, after they once get
good start, than in the poultry yard, as
the vines furnish excellent shade for the
birds and the fowls will keep the weeds
down and fertilize the vines. How about
picking? They will do that toO.-E0.]
Fowls should have their food salted a
very little whenever soft food is fed them
1t is a very foolish idea that some people
have that salt will iniure or kill chickens
Fine salt was never known to injure fowls
About the same proportion should be
used as if you were to cook the food for
human beings.

necessity, as it is very difficult to procure
broody hens sufficient to do the business.
The incubator will not breed lice like the

There is no such disease as the 'pip'';

whenever they had sick kchicken-would
think it had the pip and would catch it
and would pull orcut the end of it's tongue
off. 1t is very cruel, as well as foolish,
practice and never does any good.
Don't neglect to keep crushed oyster
shells by your fowls, and if you have any
broken crockery pound it up for them, as
we have no coarse gravel here. 1t is much
more essential that these or other substi-
tutes are furnished. If you have no bone
mill, burn all the bones you have and
pound them up. Fresh bones are better,
however. G. C. p.

Fattening Poultry.

EaCCon1ng FOulCry.
Some weeks ago we promised to give
our readers good arrangement for con-
fining fowls when preparing them for mar
ket. This is what may be called stall feed
ing, and it provides cleanliness, good ven
tilation and small space.
1t is made as follows: For a six stall
pen, take seven boards, twelve inches
square; set them up six inches apart.
This is large enough for an average sized
fowl and can be used for half grown
chicken. Make the back solid, hinge the
tops for covers; one set of hinges will an
swer for two or even three stalls Nail
Stats, one-half inch wide and two inches
apart, for the front. On thecentre of the
bottom nail lengthwise board 1X3inches
and leave the other space open, unless it
is exposed to animals. If so, two wires
either side of the board will make it safe.
Wires are used so as not to Obstruct the
droppings. Ii this is placed in a house,
you will want board to catch the drop
pings, but if outdoors none is needed.
Make movable trough the length of the
front; it is held in place by the pieces
nailed on the ends. Unless in a dark
room, make curtain out of some old
dark, heavy cloth; painted canvass is
best This is kept closed only when feed
ing. 1t should be raised twenty minutes
before feeding, the trough put in it's place
and vessel of water placed where the
birds can reach it.
The width of the stall should be gov
erned by the size of the fowl, for it should
not be wide enough for the bird to turn
around in.
One feature about artificial fattening is
that the gain must be emade in twoWeeks.
Commence by feeding light and increase
little every day until you see the fowl is
not as anxious for it's food as it was at
first Then feed just what it will eat clean
at each meal Feed as early as possible
in the morning, again at noon and as
late in the evening as it can see to eat.
The feed is corn meal made into thick
mush, with hot milk if you have it, but
water will do Let it stand to cool. Sea-
son with SALT A little fat meat for a
change and pinch of cotton seed or lin
seed meal is the most fattening A fowl
fattened this way will gain for two weeks,
then it will stand still and finally go
back to it's original weight ifkept confined
longer.

Why They Turn Their Toes Up.

In answer to yOurinqulry, What makes
the chickens toes turn up?" my experience
tells me ammonia and hot sand. If you
hatch your chicks early as possible, keep
the coops clean and give them shady
run, you will have no turned-up toes or
other disease, and if well fed will be laying
eggs at Ak to months old. Mine are
laying at present time, chicks hatch March
and April Poultry chicks and tur-
keys"-are a sure success in Florida with
a very little care-Thos. D. Williams, in
Dispatch, Farmer and Fruit Grower.
AN abundance ofgreen food if only weeds
instead of so much grain must be given if
you would have a full egg basket. Whole
oats, wheat and bran with ground meat
may be the grain diet; and radish tops,
immature lettuce leaves and any refuse
from the vegetable garden will be highly
appreciated by the hens. Plenty of grit,
OF course, as sour theft advises. Your
spare moments cannot be better employed
than in reducing the bits ofbroken crock
cry to asuitable size for the hens. In short
it is quite satisfaction to see the pieces
of ones best china, which has been unfor-
tunately broken, disappear in this man
ner. We read that nothing once made is
ever lost, and it is some consolation to
receive our broken bits again, if they do
come in the form OF newly laid eggs.-Ex.

Of the encounter: ~ was walking along Re

in front Of me and struck pugilistic atti-
tude, at the same time threatening TO punch
my head Now, tisticuffs are not in my line
although am not a timid man, as my duel
ing experience attests. Pilutel continued his
threatening language, and merely for the
purpose Of frightening him drew a revolver
from my breast pocket and pointed il az him
The pistol was in leather case, tightly
clasped, so that could not possibly have
fired il had wished to do 80. When Pilotel
saw the harmless weapon he dropped his
hands and ran away at top speed, believing
murder In spite Of the serious view taken
Of the affair 10y the police authorities they
could not control their laughter at the fet
lows cowardice any more than they could
conceal their contempt for his conduct
The version given by NJ Pilotel differs in
almost every particular from that Of the fiery
editor. He insists that the pistol was not
only without case, but that il was cooked
and manifestly intended 10 be discharged
NJ. Pilotel Indignantly denies that he ran
away, and strictly speaking he didn't, for he
had scarcely turned his back upon his an
tagonist and started TO run when he was
seized by the police. The belief is general
that the magistrate before whom the two will
be brought viii treat both prisoners and
especially Rochefort. with all the severity
warranted by the circumstances.
