CHICKEN COOP AND RUN.

run may be cheaply made as follows:
Take two twelve inch boards, six feet
long, and one twelve inch board the
length and width of coop, and nail to
ends of longer planks; then three six
inch boards. cut in same lengths, and
nailed together same as the twelve inch
ones Fastcn the narrow board frame
ON top of the twelve inch board frame by
mailing three inch strips upright at or near
the corners and open end, leaving space
of three inches between the twelve inch
and six inch frames. Then stretch wire
netting across the top OF frame and the
run is complete.
The run is not fastened to the coop by
nails or otherwise, but is made to slide
up and fit to front of coop, and may be
removed in a seconds time to clean out
the coop. Let the bottom boards set on
the ground 50 that the young chicks can
not get out OF the run nor the other
chicks get into it. Twenty or thirty of
these coops and runs can be placed on a
small space of ground, and the chicks
got nothing TO cat or drink that is not
good for them; Que brood does not get
mixed with others, thereby causing quar-
reling and fighting among the mother

Raising Kids.

The raising of kids for their skins
is a leading industry among the French
mOu%ntalneers, who obtain no small
part of their subsistence from this
source. Softness, delicacy of texture
aud freedom from blemish are princi-
pal factors in the value Of kid skins,
and to secure these essentials great
pains are taken.
AS o o as the young animal begins
to eat grass the v.lue of its skin de-
clInes, for with q grass diet it's skin
Immediately begins to grow coarser
and hai der in texture, and its chief
merit vanishes. 1t is, therefore kept
closely penned, not only to prevent it
from eating grass, but also to secure
1T from accidental injury from scratch
es or bruises, which impair its value.
When the kids have reached a GER
tain age, at which the skins are in
the best condition for the use of the
glover, they are killed, and the hides
are sold to travelling hawkers, through
whom they reach the great centres of
the tanning industry at Annonay. Mil
lau. Paris and Grenoble.
AAo superior quality Oh these KID
skins, due somewhat to climatic caus-
es, is what has given France the SUI
premacy in the manufacture of the
finest grades of real kid gloyes-a
supremacy that will doubtless be long
maintained, inasmuch as foreign manu-
facture must in general rest content
with second-rate skins, unless they
maintain agents on tho ground, a
policy that some English and Ameri-
can houses have found to be neces-
sary.-Youth's COMPANION.

A Queer Wound.

Lieutenant Leath was another man
with a remarkable experience. He
was leading his men into battle, when
he received the order to charge. The
noise of the guns and the s!:rieks Of
wounded made it necessary for him to
, give his orders ut the top of his voice.
He had, his mouth wide pen calling
out the word charge, when the silver
from a shell struck him in the cheek.
1t passed through his mouth without
touching a tooth and came ont through
the other cheek leaving on each side
of his head a cash as clean AZ if cut by
a razor. The wound became infamed
and Leath, who vas at the time near
his home, WIS given leave of alb
sence for two or three davs. When
he rode up to his mothers house, Ills
head was tied up with handagcs.
The old lady rushed out when she
saw him coming and cried: ..Oh, my
SOD, where are you wounded"
Fright through the head" was the
reply.
His mother, thinking the wound
must he fatal, Sent for IL doctor with
waiting for explanations. When
the medical man arrived he fonld

General Forests Last Bill.

Speaking of General Forrest, the
cavalry hero of the war. who killed
more men with his saber than apy
other II soldier on either side, he re-
turned to Memphis after the surrender
with his wife and with only Il $40 bill
IN his pocket. Mrs. Forrest was a la
dy OF the most quiet, amiable, Chris
tan virtues, and the only person. by
the way, who had any control of the
"wizard of the saddle while in n pas
sion. One touch of her gentle hand.
n soft. tender word, would calm his
most tempestuous moods in a moment.
Sitting alone together tho night of
their return to Memphis, General For
rest said: "Mary, know you are a
strict church member and have ALWAYS
opposed cards. But this $40 is all
there is on earth between us and the
poor house. Won't you consent to m,
going ont tonight and hunting up a

that may win while l am out 7"
In vain the good woman protested
1t was Il sin in the sight of God, she
said, and sin could not finally prosper.
he went, found the party he wanted
and began the game. The cards ran
his way from first and his winnings
grew so large that lie set his beaver on
the floor beside him and used it as n
depository. Abont 2 o'clock in the
morning he lifted his tile, bent his
head down and placed the hat care
fully on it, retaining the money inside.
Reaching home he emptied his win
nIngs into Mrs. Forests lap, saying:

WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING MARCH, 90, 1890.

The weather during the past week
has been very favorable for tn.
planting interests in North Louisiana
corn planting has been in operation
during the past seven days, and in
some of the' central parishes it is re-
ported as well up aud quite a good
stand.
Farmers are busy preparing land
for cotton, and the early garden truck,
replanted since the freeze of the early
part of the mouth, is doing we'll.
There has been deficiency Of one
inch OF rainfall in North Louisiana,
with Il temperature and sunshine
above the average; these conditions
being very favorable in their effects
In co%unteracting the cold wave of the
early part Of the month.
Reports from South Louisiana are
very encouraging; The damage from
the freeze will not be nearly as great
as was at first thought, and will not
set back the crops to any extent, with
the exception Gfthe fruit trees, that
are generally in "a bad condition.
Tho cane is improving under the
favorable temperature and sunshine
conditions that have been prevailing
lately. Planters in st. John parish
are troubled by the back water com
ing from the Mia ~crevasse, aud the
loss in that section as we'll as in river
parishes affected by overflow cannot
yet be estimated.
The rainfall in South Louisiana dur
ing the past week was deficient by
nine tenths of an inch. but the soil was
benefited by this deficiency, having
been thoroughly saturated several
weeks ago.
The prospects are generally favora-
bic throughout the entire state for all
crops.
