something NecessarY.

In order to make success Of breed
ing and raising stock to sell again as
breeders, it is not only necessary to
have good stock, but he must build up
a reputation for his stock and himself
His stock may be Of the very best kind,
and yet if he has not been able to
build up a reputation for honesty and
fair dealing, he will find it somewhat
difficult to build up good trade.
II is not only necessary that he
should own good stock, but he must
be able to make and breed so that the
offspring that he may secure will not
only be of fully as good quality as the
parents, but he must be able to still
further transmit these good qualities
to his offspring. The appearance OF
his is not always a criterion Of this,
and this is one reason why it is so
necessary to deal with only reliable
parties. The purchaser of improved
stock generally makes an Investment
that he expects to be profitable. Near
ly all kinds of breeding stock are sold
at prices considerably above the aver
age market prices, considering every
thing else to be equal, except as for
breeders.
In determining a question of this
kind the reliability aud honesty of the
breeders becomes n very important
item, as it is the purchasers principal
reliance for securing good breeding
stock. And the breeder who has
started out with the intention Of secur-
inc. or rather of building up a trade,
I sft Ia.
in short time lie will find himself I'M
able to make sales at anything like a
fair price. A reputation for honesty is
at the foundation of success with the
breeders, and if anything like lasting
business is secured it is absolutely
essential. 1t is true that occasionally
a breeder will be able by sharp practices
To seemingly make "a success for some
time, but he is certain To be oyertaken
mt last; while on the other hand, a
reputation for honesty and fair deal
ing will grow. and the longer the bet
ter, so that the reputation, or the name
Itself, will be quite an item.
1t would be absurd to eXpectany one
breeder to suit or satisfy all, as they
are a class of people who may be right
ly called chronic kickers. Attic same
tlmo the majority of those who pur-
chase aud breed good stock only de-
maud what is fair and just and if this
can be secured is all that is ueces-
sary. But mis- in majority Of cases.
can be best secured by honest dealing,
and generally requires some time to
build up But in doing this it is also
possible to breed up the stock and
build up trade at the same time

"The Passion Of Christ"

The most curious book in the world
is one that is neither written lor
printed. Every letter Of the text is
cut into the leaf, and as the alternate
leaves are Of blue paper, it is as easy to
read as the best print The labor re-
quired and the patience necessary to
cut each letter may be imagined The
work is SO perfect that it seems
as though done by machinery, but
every character was made by hand.
The book Is entitled The Passion Of

Rye instead OF oats for Horses.


In answer to an inquiry as to
whether it is better to sell rye at 80
cents aud buy oats at 40 cents than to
have the rye ground for horses, F. T..
Emery, Of the New York experimental
slaiion, says: ut appears that
American winter rye is little richer
i'm digestible substance and digesli-
bIijty, owing, 40 doubt, TO its CON
tanning no water. The digestibility
never having been determined under
American conditions can only be
taken with considerable allowance
and then only relatively. Rye is
cheaper at 60 cents per bushel than
oats at So cents. Rye being a much
heavier grain and containing nearly
one-fourth less hull than oats should
be ground aud mixed with nearly its
own weight Of cut hay, moistened
enough TO hold the rye meal, other
wise it might form a heavy, iudigesti-
BILE mass in the stomach and produce
collie. If the horses are at all cOnsti-
pated on this mixture little bran or
oatmeal will suffice to keep the bowels
in "a good, healthy condition, but this
will hardly be necessary if the horses
are at work or exercise regularly. The
amount Of feed depends so much upon
the constitution, age and work Of the
horse that the feeder must be guided
largely by his own Judgment, observ-
ing, however, TO feed about as many
pounds of the ground rye as he would
of oats, but not so many quarts by
nearly half Wcshould begin with about
ten pounds of cut hay aud increase or
diminish according to the apparent
need Of each animal giving all that
would be eaten up clean. Less grain
would be required with clover hay,
and about one-fourth more should be
added if straw constitutes part Of the
ration

Feeding and Care orPoultry.

As we enter new year many things
suggest themselves in the way of COM
parison which leave pleasant recol-
Icctions i'm the minds of those who
have grown gray in the poultry BUSH
ness, SAYS Joseph Wallace in the
Country gentleman. Some years ago
the culture of poultry was in its in
fancy, aud few of the self-assumed
"kuowiug ones had much faith in it,,
because fowls were underyalued as a
means Of profit or rs source of
pleasure and recreation. They, of all
domestic animals, received the small
est share of attention; aud the few who
embarked i'm the enterprise Of breeding
improved varieties had laudable OBJ
iects IN view TO benefit their fellow
men, though they were laughed at Tor
their hobby
Those who seem most indifferent to
purc-bred fowls are generally the
farming class. Why it is, battles our
philosophy. The farmer should be
first to adopt improvement in live
stock. He /, more directly interested
in such Improvement than the NOR
chant, thc mechanic or the cottagcr,
because he has ample facilities for the
use and keeping of such stock, rs they
largely aid him i'm his labor and con-
tribute toward competence and wealth.
No one who has to labor for living
should sji hit small industries, Happy
would 1t be for the bulk of the work
inc class ii they turned part of their
attention To some such industry As
countries crow old. the rich become
richer and the poor poorer and the
gulf between poverty and wealth must
be hridged hy economy and Industry.
There is no royal road 70 wealth but
what is paved bv the twin landmarks
economy and industry The time will
come when the artisan, cotager and
ruralist must add to their pursuits

TEACHING-Solomon makes q wise choice
in asking for wisdom. He starts well fay-
ored, politically, socially, and religiously-
By his methods and disposition he is in
striking contrast with Absalom. Standing
humbly before God, his ecstacy framed up
undisguised as he thought of his being per-
mitted to stand in the midst of great ma
ton as King. A youthful regent-''a little
child" in his own estimation, he asks that
he may have clear judgment in discerning
good and bad. Our inquiries outrun the
scope of the present lesson and we wish that
Solomon had asked for courage to follow
this inward illumination. Many earnestly
desire sage advice. Alas! having received
it fail to follow it out. There was a condi-
tion placed on the promise of "lenthenie
days" to Solomon. Wealth and luxury are
introduced which steal away his affections,
from the STATUTES of God" Wisdom COM
eth only by multiplicity of years, and is safe.
Its beginning is the ''fear of God" 1t calls
to man in the ten thousand voices of nutuTe
in Scripture-"Unto you oh man 1 call and
my voice is to the sons of men, oh We simple
wisdom, and We fools be of an
understanding hear"

Tie Turner Murder Trial.

On the arrival of Judge Thomas Monday
noon Circuit Court convened in adjourned
session, for the purpose of trying Jno. w.
Turner on the charge of murder in the first
degree. As one of the attorneys had not
yet arrived, and there was some prellm1n-
airy work to be done by the counsel on both
sides, an adjournment WAS taken till the fol-
lowing morning at eight O'Clock. Court was
reconveIed at the hour named, and the task
of securing jury commenced. By half-past
eleven O'Clock, forty men competent to serve
as jurors had been selected, and another adj
journment was then taken till four in the
afternoon, in order to give the State and
defendant time to make their allotted num-
Der Of challenges. When four O'Clock ar
riyed the The lawyers had completed their
labors, and the following named citizens
We're. sworn in as jurors TO try the cause:
Jas. A. George, Thos. Sloan, L. n. Mari,
Geo. w. Pinkley, Peter L. Hink,e, Edward
A. Wyatt, G. f. McCabe, VIM. O'BIien.
VIM. B. Jones. JAS. r. Highley, r, j. Fitz-
patrick, L. F. Matk'n.
As 1t was then too late to do anything
that day, the Judge, after giving the jurors
demean themselves until after they had rem
dered their verdict, adjourned the COuItuntil
this "wednesday morning, when the trial in
in fact will begin. The case will be warmly
contested on both sides, and will probably
occupy the tine of the Court all of this week.
Messrs. Jordan. Walker and Raney are rep

legal talent it is no. necessa y 10 slate hat

The crime Tor which Turner is now being
tried for his life is the murder of Alex
Sumpter, which occurred in the West End
of this county on the night of the 4th of
January, 1888, and was as cold biooded a
deed as was ever committed in the State. If
guilty as charged he should receive the full
penalty of the law, and, if innocent, we hope
to see him acquitted. Turner, it will be
remembered, is also under indictment for
the murder of Cnas. Asher, which happened
at the same time and place as that OF Sump-
