1t serves double purpose. Not

AMONG THE POULTRY.
A Mint of Information Summed Up In
Short Paragraphs.

Lice thrive best in hot weather.
Feed but little corn during the sum-
mer
The sooner the cockerels are mar
lteted after they are fuli-srown thc
better.
In selling off the hens be sure to
keep enough for breeding purposes.
Convenience and comfort are two
important items in building q poultry
house.
In applying a material to destroy
lice or vermin. take pains to get into
the cracks as thoroughly as possible.
One of the advantages in raising
ducks is that they make a faster
growth and will be ready for market
in a shorter time.
In arranging roosts make them all
on level; use narrow strips in prefer
ence to round poles.
The old hens, and young poultry es-
pecially. need shade during the next
two months.
In many cases poultry that have
been confined early in the season can
be let out now and be allowed full
range.
Manage, so far as possible, to keep
the poultry out of the stables and
granaries.
When the hens begin to molt they
need tonic of some kind. This can
in many cases be readily given by put
ting it in their drinking water.
Full grown guineas make an excel
ent table fowl. They should not, how
ever, be allowed to get too old, or they
will be tough; from one to two years
old is the best age.
Turkeys are fond OF milk, and dur
ing the summer especially it should be
supplied to them regularly, giving
them all they will drink; it will be bet
ter than too much water.
Exposure to draughts even in the
summer time should always be avoided
as far as possible. A cold in the sum
mer is as bad as one in winter.
Select the stock required for the
fairs early in the season and give them
little especial attention.
One of the principal advantages OF
It board floor is that with a good roof
it can be kept dry. The disadvantage
is that it affords hiding place for
yermin in the cracks. 1t is, however,
easier kept clean than earth.
During the summer eggs intended
for market should be gathered every
day and be kept in a cool place; they
will be of sufficiently better quality to
pay we'll for tho trouble.
Geese should be picked every ten
weeks and ducks every six weeks.
This work should be done regularly
during the warm weather, and can
easily be made a source OF consider
able income. st. Louis Republic.

England's Quick-Firing Guns.

SO astonishing are the results whcth
have been obtained from the 4. finch
k-fring gun that it promises to su-
persede the ordinary 5-inCh and 6-inCh
brcece-loaders. The Trafalgar and
nj t, now completing at Portsmouth,
were originally intended to carry a
secondly armament Of 6-inch guns;
but it has now been determined to
provide them with the same number
of quick-frers, and wOrkmen are en-
gagged in altering the ports While,
again, the Medea mounts six 6-inch
breech-loaders, the modified Medcas to
be laid down will have only two guns
of this nature and six 47-inch QUick-
firing guns. The Barham, Barrosa,
Barracuda, Blanche and Blonde will
be entirely armed with the new guns;
and as a set Of four carriages for tho
same weapon has been dispatched from
Portsmouth for the merchant steamer
Teutonic. completing al Belfast there IS
every pfOOaOIIIty oI tle t'FlCH pattern
of gun being adopted for the mercantile
marine. The difference in the compar-
ative rates of fire between the present
breech-loading service ordnance and
of the new guns confers an important
advantage upon the latter, more espe-
cially in staving off torpedo attack.
while their power of penetration is SO
great that nothing but an mor-cIad
can withstand the hail Of projectiIes
they are capable Of tdischarging. =

An Ancient Church Organ.

The Oldest organ in the United States
is said to be in St. Johns Church,
Portsmouth, N. H. 1t was imported
by Thomas Brattle in l7l3 and pre-.
sented to the society worshiping at
Kings Chapel by him. There was
such prejudice existing against set
ting it up that the cases containing its
parts remained unopened for sever
months, after which time the organ
was in use until 1856, when it was sold
to St. Paul's Church, Newburyport,
In 1886 st. Johns Church, Portsmouth,
N. H., became the owner, paying $45O
for the instrument. A new case was
provided, tho old pipes and the wind
chest being found in perfect order.
There the organ is to-day, doing serv'
ice in the vestry, where the veteran is
regarded with the tenderest solicitude

THE FARMERS POSITION.
Why 1t Should Be High, Potential and
Superior to all Others.


Do farmers respect their own posi-
ton and occupationo Are their meth
DDS OF business such as to attract the
favorable notice of the rest OF the
community Do they value themselves
at high estimate or at such a one as
they wish to be valued by the world9
In their associations with other men
do they exhibit dignified regard for
themselves and resent such imperti-
nent and assumed superiority as would
place them in an inferior positionp Do
they do their best to exhibit them
selves to the world in the most favora-
BILE way? 1t is to be feared that they
do none of these things-as class
although there are many individuals
who stand far apart from their associ-
ates in these respects, and to a great
extent make an honorable position
for themselves, and for their fell low
farmers by reflection. The farm
ers, with those persons di-
rectly depending upon them, make
up at least full half OF the whole
population, and with such support as
might naturally lend to them they form
the balance weight of the political and
social structure. But it is very GER.
tain that for some reasons the position
in society to which a class so placed
and so numerous is entitled is left va.
cant because of inability to fill il.
And thus the influence of the farmers
is thrown away, and like the man who
misused the talent, the farmers arc
given over to the tormentors.
No other men are so deluded as
farmers permit themselves to be.
They are so easily talked over and
influenced that they become the prey
OF charlatans of all kinds, and espe-
cially the victims of sharpers and
swindlers People of any district may
be judged by their public schools. A
man should spend more for the educa-
tion of his children than for their
clothing, for the furnishing of their
minds than for that OF their bodies;
and, inasmuch as the mind is
infinitely superior to the body, so its
development and training are more to
be considered. Viewed from this point
OF view, one may perhaps make a
shrewd guess Of the cause OF the low
position occupied by the majority Of
farmers Unfortunately these men are
not mentally clear-sighted, and do not
see their own unfavorable position.
Hence we see philanthropic associa-
tions proposing to the farmers series
of questions regarding their social, po-
litical. moral. and pecuniary standing,
and the causes of its low grade, which
is admitted as foregone conclusion
by the very submission OF these ques-
tions Every farmer should feel called
upon to study these matters and call
the attention Of his neighbors to them
as beginning OF new order OF things,
in which the farmers, rendered able by
education, training, and a change q
thought and mind, should occupy =
high and potential position. IN. \

Crop Rotation.


The same crops can not be grown
year after upon the same soil, without
reducing its productiveness. Hence,
as different plants require different
Substances to perfect their growth to
maturity, the rotation of crops is an
important matter to the gardener, as
in a judicious rotation every element
in the soil is taken up by the different
crops. However fertile the soil may
be, succession of exhausting crops
should not be grown upon the same
land, especially as it renders them more
liable to the attacks of their particular
enemies. Many insects injurious to
vegetation deposit their eggs in the
soil beneath the plants which they
have infested, that the young may
come forth to commit their ravages
upon the succeeding crops, but If this
is changed to distant locality, they
may perish for want of proper food,
and so also Of the seeds or spores OF
diseases in the soil.
Perpendicular or tap-rooted plants
with but few side roots, receive most
Of their sustenance from considerable
depth; horizontal-rooted plants find
their food near the surface. Various
plants, by means of their roots, act
differently; thus iibrOus surface roots
break up and Tighten the surface soil,
while the roots of the clover and the
like-rooted plants have similar
effect on deeper portion. The
most exhaustiEg crops are those in
general which perfect their seed, as
they draw from the soil more largely
of its ammonia, phosphates, etc, than
required in the growth of all other
portions of the plant
To obtain the highest results, there
must not only be a general rotation,
but sub-shccessions each year rs
main crops are removed 1t is not
always necessary to wait until the
first crop occupying the ground is
removed before another is put in. A
garden well warmed and cultivated
with these second crops, will produce
u surprising amount of vegetables,
The same surface only needs to be
hoed, manured and kept free from
weeds, as if it produced but one crop,
though somewhat move is required,
but nothing like the amount needed
to produce the same amount of crops
separately. Popular Gardening.

Improbable Farming.

The Monroe IN. CO. Southern Farm
remarks: "A few days ago a gentle
man came to Monroe and sold six bales
of cotton. Before leaving town he
bought mule and paid $40, about
half the proceeds of his six bales Of
cotton, for it. 1t occurs to us that our
farmers would make more money
if they would raise their own mules
and horses, instead of buying
them with the money realized
on their cotton" This is just
about the case with many tobacco
farmers of this section. Some years
ago, before our farmers run wild after
tobacco, they kept large portions OF
their farming lands in clover and other
grasses, raising mules, horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, plenty for home use
and to sell, while the farms were con-
stantlyuimprovlng. Now it is all to-
bacco, commercial fertilizers and de-
terioration in land. The poorer the
land becomes the more fertilizers and
mules they must buy; also hay for the
mules and bacon for the hands, and no
money is left for any thing else.-

A Chat with Farmers.

If at any time you should wish to
buy farm or plantation, be sure that
there are plenty of springs on the
place, as they are not only con-
ve1ience, but a joy forever, and the
farmer who willfully destroys one must
be miserly wretch and as devoid of
sentiment as Comanche Indian.
Farmers, save your springs.
The cry of hard times is still abroad
in the land. If. however, one will
walk into a modern confectionery store
he will see where much of the money
goes Canned fruit, vegetables, pro-
serves. etc (and much of it doctored)
all tell the tale. And there is parched
coffee, which your grocer may tell you
is as cheap as the unparched, as
though man would furnish the time,
labor and fuel as matter of accom-
mediation. II these features in house
keeping arc TO be ignored by the
mothers, what is to become of the
daughters?
1t is to be regretted that the stock
law defeats the ends for which it was
intended. Some twelve or fifteen
years ago, an Affection man expressed
a wish that such law might be passed
for our county. IL have,n he went on
to say, 1.-TWO hundred acres of fine
woodland that would cut down, and
that very quickly, and put in cotton. :"
Now our cotton crank had an abund-
ance of open land that by terrace
ing and sowing down in rye or
peas might have been reclaim
ed. Well, the stock law came
in due time, and we can scarcely
recall plantation on which most or
all of the woodland has not been de.
stroyed. They claim that their wood
land is subject to taxation and pays no
dividends, as though their open waste
lands were not subject to the same con-
ditions
1t is gratifying to notice that our
farmers are taking more interest In
stock raising This is as it should be,
but they ought to give no encourage
ment 10 the overgr0wn stations being
introduced here from the North. ANY
intelligent liverymau will tell you that
they are not adapted to our long sum-
n.ers; tnat they are too large and beefy
for their feet. and that rs rradsters they
are wanting in speed and endurance. 1t
Is said that the first thing the Union
soldiers did when invading our territory
was to exchange their horses for our
lighter and feeter ones. But what does
farmer want With a better draft ami
