SOME very tender hearted people
bemoan the accident at the execu-
ton of the Bald Knobbers by which
one of the ropes broke and the man
had to be hanged again. OF course
it would have been better if the
hanging had gone of with clock
work precision, but the fact that it
did not need cause no very great re-
gret. The Bald Knobbers were new.
or very particular whether they had
to shoot a man once, twice or three
times to kill him, and an outraged
public should not be over sensitive
about the fact that one of these out
laws had to be hanged twice to get
him out of the way. There is alto
gether too much disposition now
adays to let even the most hardened
and guilty criminals off with light
punishment, and in many instances
after conviction and sentence. The
laws majesty should be upheld and
the guilty punished In a manner
commensurate with the crime com
mitted.

The Little Rock newspapers so
prompt to rush to the defense of the
Federal court short time since are
eloquently silent since the history
of their pet tribunal has been so
faithfully shown up by the State
press. The fact is there are some
things about this business utterly
indefensible and our distinguished
contemporaries exhibit commendable
sagacity in RETAINING from stem

THE Bagging convention at Biz
mingham, Ala, last Thursday had a
long and full discussion Of the bag
ging question. The committee on
Begging reported and recommended
cotton bagging as permanent COW
ering for cotton bales. 1t was shown
that this would absorb 1850 bales
of the cotton crop and insurance on
the entire crop would be $4,000, 900
less. The report Of the committee
was unanimously adopted and steps
taken to provide factories TO supply
the demand. The bagging trust rep
resentatiyes present were badly
"knocked out"

How to Cure Hens of Egg Eating Bnd
Feather Pulling.

Feather Pulling.
Two dif1iculties-egg eating and
feather pulling-are met with, and be-
ing the result of habit, which is ac-
quired, can not easily be remedied. As
soon as a hen learns to eat eggs she
teaches the vice TO the others. To pre-
vent the vice is difficult, unless spe-
cially cOntrived nests are arranged, or
unless the hen is SO situated that she
can not well reach the eggs. To pre-
vent the vice, make the nests dark, or
put them in a dark place. The nest
should have 4 top, so as to compel the
hen to walk in, instead Of jumping on
it, 1t should be high enough off the
floor to prevent the hen from standing
on the floor and eating out of the box.
and the opening Of the box should face
the wall, instead Of the light, so as to
have the nest dark. To make such q
nest, take a soap-box and knock of the
front. leaving the boards on the top,
bottom, sides and back end At tho
opening of the nest, nail on a strip Cat
the bottom) three inches high, to pre-
vent the hen from rolling the eggs out.
The floor Of the box should be seven
inches off the floor, which (with the
strip in 'front.' will bring the opening
to the nest ten inches from the floor Of
the room. The hen will fly up to the
opening, lay her egg and come off, as
she will not have room to eat the egg
while she Is on the nest, and must como
off, in which case she can not reach it
from the floor. The nest-box should be
only large enough to accommodate the
hen.=Farr and Fircside.
