An EXTREMELY ERRATlC STAR
That Astonished n Maryland Professor md
a-L Others Who Saw 1t.

Baliimort american. ~
Prof. T. X. Paul and a number OF PEG.
pie who live at Pikesville were very
much astonished on Wednesday morn.
ing at the antics Of what they believe
was star or some other heavenly body.
Mr.. Paul was paying a visit to his
friends at Pikesville, and he arose quite
early on Wednesday morning. While
standing in the yard and looking to the
northwest he saw a star, and a very
bright one, move from the right to the
left, or westward, at a distance OF about
$50 feet; at least, II appeared so 10
him. Mr.. Paul then called to his friend,
Mr.. Harry Warner, and asked him to
come out aud see meteor explode. Mr..
Warner came out, and the star, instead
OF exploding, moved back. Mr.. Paul
says, TO the starting point with rush.
The motion back was much swifter than
when the star moved 10 tho left. This
continued for some time, first to the left
and then to the right. After this most
cratic star had kept this up for some
time, It descended very rapidly until It
nearly reached the earth-at least so 1t
appeared to Mr.. Paul. Then the star
reascended to the heavens, turned to the
left, then TO the right again. BY this
time the yard had become filled with
people, who watched this star with the
greatest Amusement. About $50 o'clock
the star disappeared.
A representative Of the american
called OH Prof. Simon Newcomb, Of the
Johns Hopkins University, and asked
him about it. Prof. Newcomb said Mr..
Paul was mistaken, Notwithstanding his
witnesses. For the last 5000 years,
since people have been studying the
fstars, no such thing had ever appeared
in the heavens, and it was not ut all like
ly such thing would occur now. What
he saw was something terrestrial, and
not a heavenly body.

The Road Question Arnin.

a writer in the Wellsburg Herald who
seems to be familiar with the road ques-
tion in Brooke county says that lands
adjacent to the two piked roads in that
county, the one running from Wells
burg to Bethany, and the other from
Wellsburg to the State line, near indie
pendence, are worth from $40 to $50 per
acre more than lands Of like quality and
: Improvements, and like distance from
market, in other portions Of the county
TINT are reached only by mud and clay
roads.
The writer referred to estimates that
ten per cent is the average enhancement
OF value in lands for one mile out on
either side OF these pixies. In other
words, he computes the enhancement
lat low estimate as he claims) at
S5,l20per mile, and this sum, he says,
would be amply sufficient for the
making OF q complete hard road all the
year"
OF course it would be "amply suffi.
cicnt" and much more than ample. AS
matter OF fact the Wellsburg and
Bethany pike did not cost more than
about Sl,S00 per mile; that is, exclusive
OF the grading which was done a genera.
ton ago. 1t has stone way of 0 feet
and all told the cost was not over $1,000
per mile. We name this sum because,
rs it appeared from tho reports to the
recent Steubenville pike convention,
this was the exact cost OF the grading
and storins Of the Martins Ferry and
Mt. Pleasant pike, and also OF the Cadiz
and Mt. Pleasant pike, and 5000 in
excess OF the estimate and bid OF Con.
tractor McComas for building pike S |
feet wide from Brilliant to Smithfeld.
The cost OF stoning the graded valley
road running from Woods run to Gin.
ton, in this county, was only 81, $50 per |
mile, and it has M eight inch foundation
OF sledgc broken stone and is covered
with IN under layer Of stone that will
pass through three inch ring and a
top layer OF still smaller stone.
1t may therefore be stated as entirely
correct that tho total cost OF building
good pike in this region, on either Of
side OF the river, is about $1,000 per
mile on n nine foot roadway, and this is
certainly not m expensive improvement
in any point Of view.
The writer in the Herald states the
case with force when he says that he
does not consider the enhancement OF
the value Of the lands more than half
the advantage to be gained by a solid
road. sVg l.

Starting with Poultry.

The questions, how many fowls to
keep, the best variety to begin with
and how to manage profitably, come UP
to the farmer with his first thought
upon the subject of keeping poultry.
He should not enter new field Of en-
terprise hastily, anticipating more than
he can make his stock produce for him.
If he has suitable accommodations, one
hundred, or even fifty. blooded fowls
are ample. They can be made to pay a
larger net profit than double the num-
ber of ordinary dung-hill stock. For
the farm, the Light Brahma, Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte and White Dorking
are among the best. The white varie-
ties look better about the barn. The
Barred Plymouth Rock, Langshan,
Laced Wyandotte, and Java are also ex-
cellent. A farmer who carefully
studies the best ways of handling his
poultry is taught by his own observa-
tlon and experience how to manage
them proftably. Agricult.

HAY-srAcK FEED RACK.

shown in engraving) to prevent the
stock from pushing it in when reaching
for hay. Spike two two-inch planks
(b) one foot wide around the bottom.
Then bolt AKA inch piece (c) or good
heavy pole above the top of planks two,
or two and half feet, according to the
size of the stock, as full-grown cattle
will require larger space than calves
or young stock. This rail is necessary,
as cattle are very liable to boy one
another into the rack, and falling on
their backs If not found at once will get
killed, as know by actual experience;
even after they were dehorned they
would force weaker animal into the
manger. Let your cattle just eat the
hay from the stack, making them eat it
as near the bottom as possible, and then
throw out the refuse that accumulates
in feeding.
Then throw it down from one end Just
as you would if you were going to haul
it to the rack, exposing no more of the
stack than you can feed in two or three
weeks. Fill the rack around the side
of the stack to the top of the planhs,
as the stock are liable to pull the hay
out and trample it under foot if piled
up to the railing. Give them just
enough so they will clean it up we'll,
and before feeding again throw out all
the refuse, just as you do with your
horses hangers.
If you have good hay, we'll stacked, it
is pleasure to feed it this way, and an
easy matter, too. The reason 1 think

this stack rack preferable to any other
is because it is less labor and does not
waste so much if properly used. In
hauling it to the rack it has to be
pitched on the wagon. requiring one
man to build, and then it has to be
pitched on the rack and tramped in. In
this way, it is fed at the bottom of the
stack, saving much unnecessary hand
ling. With good shelter, plenty of good
hay and 8 or ears of corn per day,
stock cattle will W winter in good shape.
The money in hay lies in getting a
large yield from 4 small amount of
land, and in getting good article and
taking care of it. One therefore needs
a shed, as it is much better than a
stack. This need not be an expensive
structure. Five tolerable straight
poles twenty feet long, eight feet apart
on each side with three in the middle.
Roof with boards. This will suffice for
an ordinary eighty-acre farm. There
should be four or five feet of fall in the
roof, and the twenty-foot poles should
set three or four feet in the ground.
This, at the most, should not cost over
twenty-five dollars, and If in timber
country where poles can be had cheaply
and man does the work himself, there
need not be much expense outside the
eight hundred feet of lumber which the
roof requires.

somc Soasonable Hints for Cutting, Curing

There are thousands of tons of hay
wasted by careless stacking and i'm
proper covering, but tens of thousands
Of tons are wasted and trampled under
teet by careless and improper feeding. A
little over a year ago an Iowa farmer sent
TO the Orange Judd Farmer q sketch and
description of a rack to feed hay, which
was illustrated in its columns. He says:
have used such a rack for several
years, and / think 1t is the very best 1
have used or seen described, and much
superior to the one illustrated in this
journal few weeks ago, as 1 know by
actual experience with both. But
have hit upon what consider better
scheme in feeding hay, and that is a
hay-stack rack illustrated herewith).
Build your rack before you stack your
nay. 1t is best to build itso as to make
fence, where the cattle do not have
access, to answer for one side. Then
build your rack on the other side and
ends, according to the size of stack. l
have seen some with rack all around,
but think that this is more costly and
unnecessary.
Place good heavy posts (a) seven feet
long, two and half feet in the ground
and eight or ten feet apart. Put short
braces on the inside OF each post mot
